Perfect lyrics: "I don't wanna be afraid every time I face the waves. I don't wanna fear the storm just because I hear it roar. Peace be still, You are here so it is well. Even when my eyes can't see. I will trust the voice that speaks."
John 16: 5-15 "All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from Me what He will make known to you."
John 16: 33 " I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have perfect peace."..... Jesus is my perfect peace, nothing else can take His place. I can never stay at perfect peace without the gift of the Holy Spirit. Too many thoughts sneak there way in, and cause me to become unsettled inside. Sometimes it lasts longer than it should. It's like I fall into it, and allow it. Isn't that crazy? Why do I allow these thoughts to come into the beauty of the peace Jesus wants to be in me?
John 10: 10 "The thief comes only to steal kill and destroy, I have come that they may have life, AND HAVE IT TO THE FULL."....The enemy is good at what he does. Knowing just how to sneak his way in and slowly devour me just by thoughts. Then my Spirit rises up!!! These scriptures come to mind every time: 2 Corinthians 10: 5 "We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Philippians 4: 8 "if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things and the God of peace will be with you."
This is why I love to spend time in God's word. I know how to use it when the enemy wants to go to battle with me. You see, it's not me he's up against. It's the "One" Who is in me! My Jesus already won the battle 2000 years ago!!! I know how it ends.
