| “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” | (Isaiah 9:6, NKJV) |

| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria | The Bible calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. That means He is the ruler of peace. He is the ultimate peace. Having His peace is not like having the peace the world has. His peace is permanent. It never changes and can never be taken away. It’s interesting that the word “peace” literally means “to set at one again.” In other words, when we are one with the Father, when we line up our thoughts, our words and our actions with Him through the blood of Jesus Christ, we will experience His peace in our lives. Anytime you find that you don’t have peace about something on the inside of your heart, when you feel an uneasiness, that’s a sign that you should stop and pray and make sure you are in line with God’s direction. Remember, His plans are always for your good. He leads you by peace and fills you with His joy. When you choose His ways, you become one with Him and experience His peace and blessing all the days of your life! | |

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
Did
you know that right now you are equipped with everything you need to
fulfill your passion and purpose in this life? Everything you need is on
the inside of you — like deep waters. God leads you and draws those
things out of you when you stay open and humble before Him. You draw
those things out when you are submitted to His Word. You draw them out
by declaring His truth over your life. That’s what makes you a person of
understanding — because you understand and apply God’s principles!
Proverbs
also tells us that a person of understanding delights in wisdom. A
person of understanding is even-tempered. A person of understanding is
not easily led astray and maintains peace and order. (Prov. 10:23;
15:21; 17:27; 28:2)
Don’t
just live on the surface of life today. Be a person of understanding
and draw from the resources that God has placed on the inside of you. As
you keep your heart open by obeying the Word of God, His purposes will
become clearer, and you will live in the abundant life God has in store
for you!
