A Benefit Of Salvation: Peace

And the peace of God, which passeth understanding, shall keep your hearts, and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

The peace of our Father that passes all understanding shall keep our hearts and our minds, now that is some kind of peace! God, Who is Omnipotent, Who is Omnipresent, Who is the Beginning and the End, and Who is not afraid of anything, has given us His peace and He shall keep our hearts! Our Father has made everything that has been made, so what can threaten Him? The devil led a rebellion with a third of the Angels and our Father just threw them out of Heaven. There was no Major Heavenly War that our Father was required to lead the troops into to put the rebellion down. There was no bloodshed when satan was kicked out and there was no disruption in our Father's Authority or His power! He just spoke, sent over Michael, and satan was flung from Heaven and like a lightning bolt he came crashing to the earth! Our Father does not have to concern Himself or take thought for sickness, debt, fear, work, fellowship, or anything, He’s at perfect peace with Who He is and what He is and how He is. His peace is the perfect peace that passes all understanding! That peace, the perfect Omnipotent peace of God, now keeps our hearts and our minds!

We are born from the peace of God! We are now members of His body and we are now His Temple! Our Father has no threats, none whatsoever, and He sent Jesus to die for us so that we could have and enjoy the fruits of peace, and not just any peace, we enjoy His peace, and that is the peace that now keeps us. Our Father doesn’t say that our peace will keep us. He doesn’t leave the responsibility of such a powerful life force to chance, He takes care of it Himself. Amen, we now have God’s very Own peace keeping us. We can see the power of our Father's peace in action with Paul and Silas. They were beaten and cast into the innermost part of the prison and shackled, and even though they were wrongly accused, they sang praises to God at midnight, and our Father delivered them.

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all doors were opened, and all bands loosed. Acts 16:23-26

Paul and Silas were beaten and shackled. Yet they had our Father’s peace keeping their minds and their hearts during it. So they were strengthened and able to sing praises unto Him, and they were loosed, and if you read on, they won the jailor and his family to Christ. They didn’t do this on their own, they did it because of God, and they did it because God’s peace kept their hearts and their minds!
