The life of peace…..

In the discovery of what righteousness is, will it be discovered what the will of God is…. In the doing of that discovery will it be discovered what the fruit of the doing of that discovery is….

For whenever one does righteousness one receives a degree of the peace of Christ in the heart… As one gets practiced in this doing of righteousness, that peace that is received gets more real, more deeper, more undeniable, more an active force in one’s life, than after a season of practicing it becomes the living power of one’s life… Then it is recognized that this power of life is the law of the Spirit of life..… Which to the degree of one’s receiving, will be the degree of the life of Christ that has come to life in one….

It is then that all things of this world become subservient to this life of peace that has been discovered…. For all the things of this world then become a means to receive this peace to a deeper degree…. Then the desire of the heart becomes to stay stedfast to the looking towards and after this peace… Then one’s only trial becomes of one not keeping one’s eyes on this peace of Christ in the heart as it becomes known as the living power in one’s life…. Self, own will, one’s life of this world is seen to be exactly what scripture describes it to be, a world of iniquity, a power of life that is incapable of bringing forth anything but sin, evil, and death…..

Then the words; ‘one must deny oneself if one would come after me’ become real by experience and the hallmark of life….

Be blessed in that hallmark…..

I get peace from watching online church. It is from the Holy Spirit. That praying and reading the scriptures too.

If Jesus were standing with us and we were at His feet listening to His Words, wouldn't that be peaceful? But we have access to this peace all the time through the Holy Spirit and God's Word.
go back and read again what he wrote .
After a time , after a time of us DOING righteousness , it becomes ...................
Wrong . RATHER we are doing righteousness BY THE POWER OF CHRIST WHO INDWELLS us .
Now he might not have realized what he was saying . We are to exhort one another TO DO righteous acts .
To do good and to flee evil . That should be done . But i did not like the part where he said that .
In essence it would be like me saying , IF you DO good long enough it becomes the power by which you live .
REVERSE THAT to say this . SIMPLY BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST
and RECIEVE YE THE HOLY GHOST by which YE SHALL DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS .
I dont think he realized what he said .

Hello, I do realize exactly what I wrote and do stand behind them… If the peace of Christ in your heart is teaching you something different go with that, because as one listens to that peace it becomes louder and more real and becomes one’s very life…

Be blessed in that peace of life that is His, a fellow follower, Not me

if they do not believe JESUS IS the CHRIST .
There is a very good reason i say that . You would agree right .

I get peace and strength when worshipping Him in "Truth and in Spirit." joy:
a trivia question my dear sister .
What if ones truth and ones spirit contradicts HIS WORD .
Then let us know and understand its NOT TRUTH NOR OF HIS SPIRIT .
Now lift those hands and praise the KING .

If anything contradicts His word then it is obviously NOT in Truth or Spirit. Simple for most to distinguish...it's a heart thing. There is a connection when The Spirit moves and, it's not ALL the time but, most times it's there!
Are you intoning, again, or assuming that I'm a sold out mod? Don't beat around the bush Amigo, just come right out and say what you really mean...?

Herein ONLY in his righteousness can my soul find peace and rest !

JAMES CHAPTER 3
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the  wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,  gentle, and easy to be intreated , full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
