“Get ready to do a victory March in March!”

It says, “I heard God say, “Get ready to do a victory March in March.” I believe there’s a significant shift coming in the spirit in March this year. And it’s going to bring breakthrough and turnaround that many people have been waiting for.”

Put your expectation in what God is saying here. What He’s saying in His Word for whatever situation you’re facing, whatever deal you are grappling with right now, just know that God is at work and March is going to be an opportunity to do a March and to experience victory.

“These things that God has been preparing behind the scenes for you, and I believe many are about to step into great victory. God says you have passed the test and have triumphed over the enemy, and now you are about to see breakthrough! The enemy has been trying to intimidate people, and some people have felt like you’ve been having to work hard to keep your head above water. But God is saying, ‘Look up.’ What the enemy has meant for evil, God is about to turn around for good. The enemy is trying to distract you and to cause you to doubt the words that God has spoken over you.”

“But God is saying ‘Stand firm and don’t quit. You’re about to see victory!’ … when the enemy relentlessly bombards a certain area of your life, he overplays his hand and exposes the very thing he’s afraid of. Whatever the enemy is attacking in your life is what he’s afraid of. If you have felt attacked in your finances, relationships, hope, health, or any other area of your life, get ready for a shift. The enemy has been trying to intimidate you through attacking the areas he’s afraid of because this is where you are called to have victory and authority in.”

Esther 4:13-16
And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”

Esther 8:1-8; 17
On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. 2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews. 4 And the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king, 5 and said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces. 6 For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?”
7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews. 8 You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for whatever is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring no one can revoke.”
17 ThenAnd in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.

I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord God.’” 26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 “Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

Psalm 37:1; 7; 10
Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.

This past Sunday, Deborah challenged us with a 'daily march' for the prophetic word she had was "There's a victory march in March."

There is a natural march and a spiritual sound of marching. As we read in the folliwing verses we see there was a raid in the valley by the Philistines. David first inquired of the Lord, then he had to hear, then move immediately at the sound of marching, and then victory.

2Sam 5:23-24

1 Chro14:13-17

2 Samuel 5:24-25 NKJV

[24] And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” [25] And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

1 Chronicles 14:15-16 GNT

[15] When you hear the sound of marching in the treetops, then attack, because I will be marching ahead of you to defeat the Philistine army.” [16] David did what God had commanded, and so he drove the Philistines back from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

Philistines represent opposition to God and His people that seek to destroy spiritual truths.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 TPT

[3-4] For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. [5] We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. [6] Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

We are pulling down strongholds in our families

2 Chronicles 20:15-30
15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the [a]brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high.
20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:
“Praise the Lord,
For His mercy endures forever.”
22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they [b]had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.
25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much. 26 And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the Lord; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day. 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. 28 So they came to Jerusalem, with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets, to the house of the Lord. 29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30 Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.

Ephesians 2:5-6
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Psalm 2:4
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.

We are applying The Blood over the Nations, our church, families, marriages, health, relationships, finances, and circumstances. The Blood speaks, has life in it, and is powerful.

Kenneth Copeland - Having faith in the blood is something that began in the Old Testament. When Moses confronted Pharaoh about letting the children of Israel leave Egypt—where they had been enslaved for 400 years—Moses spoke as God had directed him, saying, “Let my people go!” But Pharaoh would not agree. He had no desire to let the children of Israel leave. After all, they were the nation’s entire labor force—all 3 million of them!

If you’re familiar with this portion of Scripture and the story of Exodus, then you know that next came the 10 plagues, with the final one being the death of the firstborn male from every household, including livestock. This plague involved an angel passing by every home, and as the angel did, the firstborn male died. To protect the children of Israel from the plague and the angel of death, God instructed every Hebrew household to kill an unblemished, 1-year-old male lamb, put some of its blood on the doorposts and lintel of their houses, and remain inside until the next morning (Exodus 12:7, 22). They were to roast the lamb and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. And they were to do it all in a hurry (even standing up), each person dressed and ready to go—believing to be released from their bondage that night.

The Lord promised them, “The blood shall be for a token or sign to you upon [the doorposts of] the houses where you are, [that] when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt” (Exodus 12:13, AMPC).

When we speak or pray the phrase, “I plead the blood of Jesus over ______________,” whether for a person, place, circumstance or area of our lives, such as our finances or health, we are spiritually applying the blood over someone or something the way the children of Israel literally did over their doorposts. We’re releasing our faith in the blood—Jesus’ blood—and standing for all that His blood provides for us…which is everything provided for us in THE BLESSING, such as healing, financial breakthrough and abundant life.

What It Means

When we plead the blood, we are releasing our faith in the blood. We’re speaking and declaring what is made possible by the sacrificial blood of Jesus shed for us. Revelation 12:11 tells us that we overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony or confession. So, when the devil comes to attack us in any area of our lives, our response should include pleading the blood of Jesus. When he tries to tempt us, we should plead the blood. When he tries to bring fear or torment, we should plead the blood.

Just like a lawyer might plead a case in court, we should plead the blood. Any right the devil might have to steal, kill or destroy (John 10:10) in our lives, the blood of Jesus has the power to stop it. So, we release the power of the blood by faith, with our words, because we have faith in the blood.

Isaiah 46:10-11

Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

Psalm 33:10-11
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.

2 Kings 5:1-17
Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper. 2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” 4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.”
5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”
So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said,
Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.
7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”
8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” 11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’ 12 Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” 14 So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
16 But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.
17 So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.

Job 42:10-11
And the Lord [d]restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.

15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord God.’” 26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 “Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

I heard the phrase 'Looking for a needle in a haystack'

Definition: something or someone that it's almost impossible to find.

The easiest way to find a needle is to use a magnet.

Needle - lost person - spiritually separated from God, living in sin and needs redemption

Haystack - other things/lifestyle/hard heart. If you were naturally in a haystack you would find it very hard to breath

Magnet - Jesus actively and intentionally seeks out individuals.

Luke 19:10 TPT
The Son of Man has come to seek out and to give life to those who are lost.”

Mark 2:17b AMP
"... I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners [who recognize their sin and humbly seek forgiveness].”

John 3:16-17 TPT
For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. “God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!

1 Timothy 1:15 TPT
I can testify that the Word is true and deserves to be received by all, for Jesus Christ came into the world to bring sinners back to life — even me, the worst sinner of all!

Luke 15:3-7 and Matt 18:11-14 - Parable of the Lost Sheep

No one is ever lost, they just need to be found.

1Cor 6:9-11 TPT These people were in a haystack lifestyle, but then were found and gave their hearts to Jesus.

With God, all things are possible.

9 “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.

Excerpts taken from Jewish sites

The prophetic word for the Hebrew year 5786 (beginning at sundown on September 22, 2025, with Rosh Hashanah) is sobering and timely: Tread Lightly With Your Words.

We are in the decade of the mouth (5780–5789), connected to the Hebrew letter Pey (פ). This decade emphasizes the power of words: prayer, prophecy, declaration, and the weight of what comes out of our mouths.

Within that decade, 5786 is called the year of the Hook, tied to the Hebrew letter Vav (ו). Vav means hook or nail. It represents connection… joining heaven and earth, linking people together, like the hook of a fisherman, as in Jesus’ words: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).

Together, these truths carry a strong call for this year: Your mouth is your hook. What you speak will either gather people into God’s kingdom or scatter them further away.

The hook is not for arguments or tearing down, but for reaching out. It is for evangelism, for reconciliation, for gathering people when everything else tries to scatter them. Expect both opportunities to win hearts and moments of spiritual battle. The same hook God gives us for harvest will also be used to confront forces that try to divide and destroy.

5786 / 2026 is a year to tread lightly with your words. Choose speech that heals, not divides. Choose to build, not tear down. Walk in intimacy with God, and you will see barren places blossom into new life.

In Hebrew, numbers also function as letters, each with its own meaning. Together, they give more depth to the year 5786:

Yod (10): The hand or arm of God. It speaks of His presence, His work, and completeness.

Kaf (20): The palm. It symbolizes blessing, provision, and receiving what God gives.

Vav (6): A hook or nail. It points to connection. Heaven and earth joined. And also to the hook of evangelism: fishers of men.

The ancient sages observe that the written form of the letter 8/Pey contains a smaller, hidden letter within its structure: the letter Bet (heart).

Bet means “House” or “Home.”
This is a profound prophetic insight: The Mouth (Pey) speaks what is in the House (Bet).

Examine Your Bet (Heart): Clean out the contamination of fear, cynicism, and unforgiveness. Let your private house be holy.

Activate Your Pey (Mouth): From the foundation of the finished work (Vav), speak clarity where there is confusion. Speak life where there is death. Speak abundance where there is lack.

Be the Vav (Connector): Step into your role as the intercessor, binding Heaven to Earth with your spoken word.

Exodus 14:13 NKJV
And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

II Chronicles 20:17 NKJV
You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

From the Blue Letter Bible - both scriptures the same meanings except sl8ghtly different in 2 Chron 'Stand'

See- to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider, have vision, observe, discern, distinguish, give attention to, to cause to be seen, be shown, behold, to be exhibited.

He will shew- to do, fashion, accomplish, make, produce, to act with effect, put in order, to acquire, to appoint, ordain, to bring about.

Stand ye - stand, remain, endure, take one's stand, be in a standing attitude, to stand still, stop(moving or doing), cease, remain, continue, abide, to station, set, to cause to stand firm.

It's going to be "epic'

Rick Renner: Paul went from being shipwrecked, bitten by a snake, to living in a palace, having new clothes and eating the finest food. From being on an island with barbarians to seeing revival take place, preaching and seeing people get healed. And after three months they departed the island in a ship from Alexandria. The finest port city in the WORLD was in Alexandria. Only the finest ships came out of Alexandria! And for the rest of his life Paul lived on the cash that he got from the pagans on that island. He might have been a little hindered on his way to Rome but he held on to that word from God, 'I must appear before Caesar'. He stood firm in faith, he didn't give up.

I heard the phrase 'Settle it' then the Scriptures Ps 119:89. Then I heard, 'Having done all to stand, stand'. (Read Eph 6vs 11-14 AMPC).

Psalms 119:89 AMP
Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable].

Blue Letter Bible

Settled: stand, to take one's stand, established, stationed, take an upright position, to stand firm, set, to cause to stand erect, to fix, to establish.

Stand: to stand, to place, to make firm, fix, establish, to stand immovable, to stand firm, continue safe & sound, stand unharmed, to stand ready and prepared, to be of a steadfast mind, one who does not hesitate or waiver

God's Word is true, fixed and established. We have been given promises through His Word for our families. We are not to be discouraged, doubtful, weary etc. God has said it through His Word then we have to come in agreement with it. 'Settle it'. His Word does not return to Him void.

Our part - believe it, confess, and stand, which means we are not to waiver at the promise but to be fully persuaded/convinced like Abraham was. As we remain standing firm in our faith, those promises that are already settled will come to pass.

Taken from Rick Renner:

God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.
— James 4:6

In James 4:6, James addressed believers who were not living according to God’s plan. In some way, they were violating God’s principles, and they were doing it blatantly. So James wrote to them and reminded them of the serious consequences of their behavior, saying, “God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.”

In this verse, we find that the word “resist” is the Greek word antitasso, a military term that depicts the orderly arrangement of troops to successively wage combat against the non-compliant. It is a deliberate, premeditated arrangement of military might to crush an enemy. The whole notion of the word antitasso in the context of James’s message is that if the arrogant will not willfully bow, God will arrange events so that they will bow regardless of whether it is willful or forced. One way or another, the proud will bow. God, however, invites them to humble themselves willingly rather than be humiliated forcibly.

The word “humble” is tapeinos — a word, which in this case, describes a person who was formerly arrogant but has become humble. In other words, this individual previously succumbed to pride, but he came down from that haughty position to become obedient and conform his behavior to fulfill God’s commands. Hence, tapeinos can accurately be translated to make small, to reduce one’s self-importance, or to humble oneself from previous arrogance. According to James, those who do this on purpose — that is, believers who willfully submit to God’s commandments and turn from their arrogant ways — will become recipients of “grace.” In the context of James 4:6, it means that even though they had run afoul in their attitude toward His commandments in the past, they will receive “grace” to avoid the otherwise unavoidable discipline of the Lord if they willingly submit to God, come back under His authority, repent, and adopt an attitude of humility. That is why James exclaimed, “Submit yourselves therefore to God.…”

The word “submit” is hupotasso — a compound of hupo, which means to place one’s self under another, and tasso, which is the same word used above to describe a deliberate arrangement of military forces. Used together in one word, it becomes hupotasso, and it portrays an individual who willfully places himself under (hupo) authority. Rather than go his own way, he places himself back under command (tasso). There is nothing accidental or haphazard about it. He has chosen to come under authority and has willfully arranged himself under his commanding officer.

In these verses, James appeals to those who arrogantly disregard God’s commands and urges them to realign themselves back under God’s authority. James calls on them to fall in line, submit themselves again in obedience to God, and thus escape divine discipline. If erring individuals retain their current course of action, they will be met with divine discipline. But if they respond to Christ’s plea and reposition themselves back under His authority and thus change their behavior, it is possible for them to avoid the divine discipline that Christ is preparing to lovingly carry out in their lives.

The discipline of the Lord is just as real today as ever before. If a child of God deliberately ignores God’s Word and knowingly goes astray, God will graciously give him an opportunity (perhaps many opportunities) to come back home of his own free accord. But if that person is really a child of God and refuses to come into compliance with what He has set forth in His Word, then God — out of great love for that person — will take other measures to bring him or her back home. It may not feel like it at the time, but this spiritual discipline is divine love in action!

John 16:33 AMPC and Word Wealth
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

Two CFaith Articles

*The Lord said that even as we walk through the shadow of death, we do not have to be afraid because He was with us. What is the shadow of death? It’s the fearful or negative mental images that Satan continually tries to bombard our minds with, seducing us into states of panic, or anxiety, or cares. The more we think upon them and “see” them in our mind, the worse they get. They become a shadow of death!

God has not abandoned us in these hard places. His will is to comfort us and lead us to green pastures and still waters. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

When we will quiet our soul (our mind and emotions) and spend time with Him and learn of His promises, the voice of the Holy Spirit will rise up from within and comfort us. His Words will make our soul still and the waters quiet. They will cause fear to go as God’s greatness, power, and promises are magnified within our hearts.

*Every born-again child of God should be enjoying a life full of peace. Jesus said in John 14:27 (AMP):

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

This is really a powerful Scripture. Please read it several times, and then take at least five minutes to meditate on it and let it soak in.

First, let us notice that the peace Jesus offers is a special peace, not like the world gives. What kind of peace does the world offer? The world offers a certain feeling of peace. This peace operates when everything in your life is going the way you want it to.

However, when things are not going your way, that worldly peace flees in a big hurry. The spirit of “upset” quickly takes over.

The peace Jesus gives operates in good times or bad, when you are abounding or being abased. His peace operates in the middle of the storm.

It would be wonderful, as far as the carnal mind is concerned, if everything went your way all the time. We know by experience that in real life this does not happen.

Jesus said in John 14:27 (AMP), “Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed.” The more I read this Scripture and pondered it, the more I realized the Bible was telling me that I was doing it to myself. I needed to stop it. He also said in that verse, “Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

Jesus rebuked the disciples in Mark 4:40 for a lack of faith because they lost their peace in the storm. Jesus did not lose His peace. He was asleep in the back of the boat. The disciples were in a panic and very much upset.

Would you have been in the back of the boat enjoying peace with Jesus? If you do not have peace from the Holy Spirit, you are not enjoying life.
