Peace I leave with you

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 30, 2023

‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  [John 14:27]

Peace is not an absence of trouble. It’s finding peace in the eye of the storm. It’s walking in peace in the midst of turmoil. This peace is a peace that surpasses all understanding. [Phil. 4:7] This is a peace that guards our hearts and minds, so that we do not stress by dwelling on the problem, but live in peace by being focused on the solution as we keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith

Oh LORD GOD of Israel, there is no GOD like You on Heaven or on Earth – You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. You have kept Your promise to Your servant David my father; with Your mouth You have promised and with Your hand You have fulfilled it – as it is today. [2 Chronicles 14-15]

Praise GOD who always fulfills His promises!

GOD is not a man that He should lie. Every promise He has made, He keeps. If He said it, you can rest assured He’ll bring it to pass. Trust in Him with all of your heart and don’t look to your own understanding. He is more than your GOD. He is also your Heavenly Father who loves you as much as He loves Jesus. There is nothing you cannot talk to Him about. He knows all of your yesterdays and all of your tomorrows. Nothing is hidden from His sight. There is no problem too big for Him to solve, no darkness so deep that His light cannot penetrate it and remove it from your life. GOD said that the work that He started in your life when you gave you heart to, Him, He will bring to completion. Discover His promises as you read the Bible and meditate on them continuously. Speak the Word and claim the Truth in your life and see the glory of GOD as He brings each one them to pass.

Our Great High Priest

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 20, 2023

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the Heavens, Jesus, the Son of GOD, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. [Heb 4:14-16]

Jesus understands our every weakness, and how easy it is to fall into temptation, because He was tempted too. On the cross, He took all our sin and transgressions and nailed it in His own body to the cross. There is nothing that we have done, or will do, that He doesn’t already know. It is His blood that is forever on the Mercy Seat. It is His blood that has washed us whiter than snow, leaving no trace of sin. When we come into the presence of GOD, we come as blood washed, blood bought children of the Most High GOD. That is why GOD’S unending grace [His unmerited favour and blessing] is always available to us.

When we can comprehend this, our consciences will stop condemning us, reminding us of past sin and telling us that we are unworthy to receive anything significant from our Heavenly Father. It is then that we will feel free to come boldly before the throne of God.

Do not Fling away your Fearless Confidence

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 16, 2023

Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of GOD and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised. [Heb. 35-36]

Sometimes we need to wait patiently, with fearless confidence on the LORD, until He fulfills what is promised. There are times when failure seems inevitable. It is then that we are to stay calm and focus on the Word in the face of adversity. It is at this point that Satan applies extreme pressure on us to give up and let go of GOD’S Word. Having come so far, don’t do so. We cannot succumb to Satan’s pressure without flinging away our confidence in the promises of GOD. There’s no middle ground. When it comes to standing on the WORD, we’re either on or we’re off.

Patience has the courage to refuse to believe what Satan tries to prove in the physical world. When Satan’s pressure says that GOD is not working on our behalf, patience rejects it as a lie. Patience knows that when faith is exercised to receive a promise from GOD’S WORD, success is inevitable.

Stay blessed as you keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith

Have you taken time to Pray This Morning?

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 12, 2023

Have you taken time to pray this morning?

Have you given GOD praise and thanks for watching over you through the night and for waking you to a new day? Have you asked GOD to lead and guide you today and to set a guard over your tongue? Have you brought your petitions to Him, in faith, fully trusting Him to hear your requests and to fulfill your needs? Have you asked GOD to let His will be done in your life today? If so, I believe that you are having a victorious day.

If not, that’s okay. It’s not too late to pray. GOD is always near, eagerly waiting to hear from you. He longs to fellowship with you. Why? Because He loves you.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under GOD’S mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

GOD has good reason for telling us to cast ALL our cares on Him. Cares cause a division between us and GOD. We become so weighed down by our burdens, that we cannot give Him the praise and thanks that He deserves.

We carry our burdens with weak hands that cannot adequately bear the load, therefore when we try to carry our own cares, the devil will use it to devour us. He’ll steal our joy, our peace of mind, our confidence and our worship. He’ll deprive us of sleep as we lie stressing about our problems.

GOD is more than able to carry our loads. He has the whole universe in the palm of His hand. We need to trust Him completely and not try to snatch our cares back because of unbelief in His ability and desire to deal with them.

All that we need to do is let go and let GOD.
