Become Peacemakers

James 3:18 (KJV)

And (the fruit) of righteousness is sown in peace of them that (make peace.)

Apparently Beyond “What you sow, ye shall reap”

What We Sow is Indicative and Influential in All We Do…

Moreover the (fruit) or Benefits of Righteousness

Is Automatically Inserted

Whenever We Make Peace!

While I’m Making Peace

Not Battlefields…

I Am Reaping Unbelievable Benefits of Righteousness!

It Is No Wonder That the Lord Said That These “Peacemakers”

Shall Be Called the Children of God!!!

So I Wonder?

“If”… You’re Not a Child of God, Who’s Child Are You?

Become a Peace Maker Today!

1 Peter 4:11

A Word to the Wise

Psalms 33:11 (KJV)

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

• Much Counsel is Situational

• Much Counsel is Time Sensitive

• Much Counsel is Generational

• Much Counsel is Temporary

Whereas God’s Counsel-

“Stands Forever”

Superseding “All” Generations for “All” Time!

The Wisdom of Men and Women Have Limits and “Expiration Dates”

The Beauty of God’s Wisdom/Counsel and Thoughts, is That It’s-

• Always Current

• Always Relevant

• Always Right

A Word of the Wise from God is Greater Than

(All the wisdom of men put together)…

Instead of Google or AI

Try “Prayer” to God…

1 Peter 4:11

Everyone Will Pay Their Dues

Mark 9:49 (KJV)

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Salt is a Preservative-

Our Preservation is Dependent on Salt!

Salt is Translated as Fire!

Fire is the Trial…

While often we look on others as having it (easy)

Without all the setbacks and misfortune we’ve experienced, this is an illusion of inaccuracy!

Indian Proverb-

Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his moccasins!

No One of (Worth) Will Get Through Life Without Paying Their Dues- No One!

Everyone shall be preserved by fire or ???

Every Sacrifice (our bodies) Needs “Salt” to be Preserved (saved from spoil or ruin)…

Next Time You Find Yourself in the Fire-

Thank God for the Salt!

He’s Preserving You for Heaven…

1 Peter 4:11

Guilt Free

Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

*Some people always feel (guilty) whenever they get blessed…

Guilt Should Only Accompany-

(ill gotten gains)

⁃ Through Force

⁃ Through Deceit

⁃ Through Stealing

⁃ Through Lying

When Blessings Are Obtained This Way

Then you’re always looking back over your shoulder…

But When God Blesses

He Adds No Sorrow…

Often God’s Blessings Mean-

⁃ We didn’t earn it

⁃ We didn’t deserve it

But “Rejoice”

Because it is a Gift from God

He Adds No Sorrow!

1 Peter 4:11

Special

Leviticus 20:26 (KJV)

And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and (have severed you) from other people, that ye should be mine.

Special: Different from usual

God Separates “Special”

For Himself!

If We Are in Fact “His”

Then He Has Separated You from the Common…

⁃ Do Not Chaff at Being Separate from the World!

⁃ Do Not Fear of Not Being Like Everyone Else

⁃ Do Not Be Embarrassed Looking (different) from the Crowds

He Said-

“I have severed you”

from Other People…

That You Should be Mine!

Special…for the Master!

1 Peter 4:11

What a House!

John 14:2 (KJV)

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

7 Days of Creation-

What Wonders to Behold!

Over 2 Thousand Years Ago He Left to Prepare “You” a Place-

What a Place!!!

Just His House Contains (many mansions)- Wow!

What a Place!

Don’t Let the (devil) Lie to You…

Nothing Down Here Compares!

Don’t Accept Mere Trinkets Here-

In Exchange for a “Place”

He’s Prepared for You!

Where Many Mansions Exists

Just Inside His “House”

It Will Be Worth It All…

1 Peter 4:11

Sorrow Not

1 Thessalonians 4:13 (KJV)

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Sorrow is Reserved for the Hopeless…

Hope is Believing When Reality Says Different-

Hope is Believing That Help is on the Way!

And Hope Does Not Die or Cease in Death!

When Jesus Has Promised a Resurrection-

Not Even Death Can Stop Hope!

Sorrow is for the Hopeless

Not the Hopeful!

We Sorrow Not Because We Know….
