Harmony and unity, these
are priceless attributes.
00:00:31.53\00:00:35.73
In John 14:27, Jesus says,
00:00:35.76\00:00:38.43
"Peace I leave with you.
00:00:38.47\00:00:40.34
My peace I give to you,
00:00:40.37\00:00:41.90
not as the world
gives, do I give to you.
00:00:41.94\00:00:44.94
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid."
00:00:44.97\00:00:48.61
We see that going
on in the world today.
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.95
People's hearts are troubled.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.41
They're fearful.
00:00:52.45\00:00:53.78
Even in good times,
00:00:53.82\00:00:55.18
people don't know
what's going to happen.
00:00:55.22\00:00:56.89
And in bad times,
they're totally stressed out.
00:00:56.92\00:00:59.99
They're going from day to day
00:01:00.02\00:01:01.36
without having answers
to basic questions like
00:01:01.39\00:01:04.36
what's in the future for me,
what's going to happen to me.
00:01:04.39\00:01:07.73
What's happening in my world,
00:01:07.76\00:01:10.07
but there are answers
00:01:10.10\00:01:11.60
and there is peace in
the midst of all the turmoil.
00:01:11.63\00:01:15.90
You can have peace if
you reach out to Jesus
00:01:15.94\00:01:18.34
and give your life to Him.
00:01:18.37\00:01:20.11
He will give you peace
in the midst of your storm.
00:01:20.14\00:01:23.35
How does that work?
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.18
He simply says He
gives us His peace.
00:01:25.21\00:01:28.82
The verse that we read today
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.69
means that it's not
just a band-aid peace
00:01:30.72\00:01:33.02
like the world gives,
00:01:33.05\00:01:34.52
Christ's peace is
that anchoring steady peace
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.66
that only He can give,
00:01:37.69\00:01:39.43
the kind that
can't be explained.
00:01:39.46\00:01:41.83
Peace, perfect peace
00:01:53.11\00:01:57.65
In this dark world of sin
00:01:57.68\00:02:03.05
The blood of Jesus
00:02:03.08\00:02:07.96
Whispers peace
00:02:07.99\00:02:11.13
Within Peace,
00:02:11.16\00:02:15.66
Perfect peace
00:02:15.70\00:02:18.47
By thronging duties pressed
00:02:18.50\00:02:23.34
To do the will of Jesus
00:02:23.37\00:02:29.01
This is rest
00:02:29.04\00:02:35.25
Our Father in heaven,
00:02:35.28\00:02:37.29
we pause for a moment
00:02:37.32\00:02:38.69
to ask You to
come into our lives,
00:02:38.72\00:02:41.36
to guide and comfort us,
to bring peace into our lives.
00:02:41.39\00:02:46.93
This world and our
society seem to be separating us
00:02:46.96\00:02:50.23
from truth and moral
standards we know to be right.
00:02:50.27\00:02:54.44
Stand beside us, Lord,
00:02:54.47\00:02:56.40
that we may have the
strength to go forward
00:02:56.44\00:02:58.91
and praise you
and to enjoy the peace
00:02:58.94\00:03:01.91
you have offered
to all who follow you.
00:03:01.94\00:03:05.38
We are looking forward
so much to being with you
00:03:05.41\00:03:07.65
for eternity and
sitting at Your feet,
00:03:07.68\00:03:10.65
listening to your loving
message of peace everlasting
00:03:10.69\00:03:14.89
where there will
be no more sickness,
00:03:14.92\00:03:17.29
dying, wars and
calamities of all kinds.
00:03:17.33\00:03:22.23
Please come soon, Lord.
00:03:22.26\00:03:24.93
We ask You all
these things in Your name.
00:03:24.97\00:03:27.70
Amen.
00:03:27.74\00:03:29.07
Dear Father in heaven,
00:03:34.14\00:03:35.64
thank You so
much for the privilege
00:03:35.68\00:03:37.31
that we are able to
come to You in prayer.
00:03:37.35\00:03:39.91
Thank You for the assurance
00:03:39.95\00:03:41.92
that when I'm afraid or worried,
00:03:41.95\00:03:43.85
I can come to You and
You will give me peace.
00:03:43.89\00:03:47.36
Lord, I ask that
others may have Your peace,
00:03:47.39\00:03:50.29
Your peace that
passes all understanding.
00:03:50.33\00:03:53.46
Be with those who face trials
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.06
and those who carry burdens,
00:03:56.10\00:03:58.10
help them know that
You are near to them.
00:03:58.13\00:04:00.10
And that You love them.
00:04:00.14\00:04:01.90
Be with those who are afraid
00:04:01.94\00:04:03.27
and help them to put
their whole trust in You.
00:04:03.30\00:04:06.17
Comfort those who are hurting
00:04:06.21\00:04:08.31
and may Your peace
abide in their hearts
00:04:08.34\00:04:09.94
and minds forever.
00:04:09.98\00:04:11.31
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:04:11.35\00:04:12.68
Amen.
00:04:12.71\00:04:14.05
Dear heavenly
Father, I come to You, Lord,
00:04:19.09\00:04:22.76
to ask for peace,
00:04:22.79\00:04:25.16
not the peace
that the world give,
00:04:25.19\00:04:27.20
but the peace
that the Bible said,
00:04:27.23\00:04:28.93
You will give us.
00:04:28.96\00:04:30.63
I pray, Lord, that all of us,
00:04:30.67\00:04:34.24
despite the time
that we're living
00:04:34.27\00:04:36.64
and the things that we
see happening around us,
00:04:36.67\00:04:40.78
that You could give
us peace in our heart,
00:04:40.81\00:04:43.58
that we can always
try to look for that peace
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.12
with our
neighbors, with our family,
00:04:47.15\00:04:50.25
with people in the world.
00:04:50.29\00:04:52.25
Not only that we
can have the peace,
00:04:52.29\00:04:54.26
but we can share it with others
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.59
and give them the opportunity,
00:04:56.62\00:04:58.19
Lord, to understand that only
You can give us the real peace.
00:04:58.23\00:05:03.16
Thank You for that
piece that You can give us.
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.43
Lord, I pray in Jesus' name.
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.30
Amen.
00:05:08.34\00:05:09.87
Peace, perfect peace
00:05:09.90\00:05:14.74
With loved ones far away
00:05:14.78\00:05:20.08
In Jesus' keeping
00:05:20.12\00:05:24.45
We are safe, and are they
00:05:24.49\00:05:31.23
Peace, perfect peace
00:05:31.26\00:05:35.26
Our future all unknown
00:05:35.30\00:05:40.44
Jesus we know
00:05:40.47\00:05:44.84
And You are on
00:05:44.87\00:05:48.14
The throne
00:05:48.18\00:05:52.78
Our Father, which art in heaven
00:05:52.81\00:05:54.15
as we come to
You in prayer today,
00:05:54.18\00:05:56.18
we're very aware of the things
that are going on in the world.
00:05:56.22\00:05:58.85
Lord, we needs peace.
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.96
You promise You'd give us peace
that passes all understanding.
00:06:00.99\00:06:04.49
We know that you are peace.
00:06:04.53\00:06:05.86
And so I just pray
that each individual today,
00:06:05.89\00:06:08.40
everyone living
in the world today
00:06:08.43\00:06:09.83
will turn to you the author,
00:06:09.86\00:06:11.70
finisher of our faith.
00:06:11.73\00:06:13.07
And that's certainly
the author of our peace.
00:06:13.10\00:06:15.20
Then we pray that the enemy
00:06:15.24\00:06:16.57
will not be able
to take that peace.
00:06:16.60\00:06:18.04
And we just ask in special
way Your Holy Spirit will come
00:06:18.07\00:06:20.38
into each heart in each life.
00:06:20.41\00:06:22.54
And may we look to
Jesus today not the things
00:06:22.58\00:06:24.61
that are going on in the
world because we serve a God
00:06:24.65\00:06:26.82
that sets upon the
throne that rules the universe
00:06:26.85\00:06:29.48
has promised, I will come again.
00:06:29.52\00:06:31.32
Thank You, Lord, for hearing.
Thank You for answering prayer.
00:06:31.35\00:06:34.06
Thank You that we can call
upon You in our time of need.
00:06:34.09\00:06:36.12
You said You would be there.
00:06:36.16\00:06:37.49
You would hear, and you
would answer our prayer,
00:06:37.53\00:06:38.86
in Jesus' name we
pray and for His sake.
00:06:38.89\00:06:41.26
Amen.
00:06:41.30\00:06:42.63
Our loving heavenly Father,
00:06:47.04\00:06:48.40
We thank You for
Your gift of peace.
00:06:48.44\00:06:51.71
When things are
going crazy in the world,
00:06:51.74\00:06:54.08
things are going
crazy in our homes,
00:06:54.11\00:06:56.78
with our neighbors, in
our cities and our towns,
00:06:56.81\00:06:59.71
our coworkers, we need peace.
00:06:59.75\00:07:03.28
And sometimes
peace is hard to come by.
00:07:03.32\00:07:06.29
And, Lord, we know
that we can always go to You
00:07:06.32\00:07:09.36
and ask for peace and
You will give it to us.
00:07:09.39\00:07:12.56
So, Lord, in this
time of challenge,
00:07:12.59\00:07:14.66
when we need peace, we
ask for peace from You.
00:07:14.70\00:07:19.17
We ask for You
to grant our prayers
00:07:19.20\00:07:21.47
and give us
peace in Jesus' name.
00:07:21.50\00:07:24.61
Amen.
00:07:24.64\00:07:27.74
2 Thessalonians 3:16 says,
00:07:27.78\00:07:32.21
"Now may the
Lord of peace Himself
00:07:32.25\00:07:34.32
give you peace at all times.
00:07:34.35\00:07:36.65
And in every way the
Lord be with all of you."
00:07:36.69\00:07:42.16
Father, there's
nothing more peaceful
00:07:42.19\00:07:44.06
that I can think of than knowing
00:07:44.09\00:07:47.13
that You are with
me right in the midst
00:07:47.16\00:07:49.63
of the crazy
world that I live in.
00:07:49.66\00:07:54.17
You are with me.
00:07:54.20\00:07:55.54
So thank You.
00:07:55.57\00:07:56.94
In Psalm 4:6
rather for, verse 8.
00:07:56.97\00:08:01.74
Psalm 4:8 says, "In peace,
I will lie down and sleep,
00:08:01.78\00:08:05.91
for You alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety."
00:08:05.95\00:08:11.35
Lord, I wanna
think of that verse
00:08:11.39\00:08:13.56
as I'm struggling
sometimes to fall asleep.
00:08:13.59\00:08:19.29
In peace, I will
lie down and sleep,
00:08:19.33\00:08:22.40
for you alone.
00:08:22.43\00:08:23.77
Lord, make me dwell in safety.
00:08:23.80\00:08:26.74
Thank you for that.
00:08:26.77\00:08:28.54
Colossians 3:13,
00:08:28.57\00:08:30.57
"Bear with each other
and forgive one another.
00:08:30.61\00:08:33.27
If any of you has a
grievance against someone,
00:08:33.31\00:08:37.05
forgive as the
Lord forgave you."
00:08:37.08\00:08:40.82
Well, there's a key
for peace to forgive.
00:08:40.85\00:08:44.79
And a scripture I love so much,
00:08:48.62\00:08:50.63
Isaiah, 26:3.
00:08:50.66\00:08:54.73
"You will keep in perfect peace
00:08:54.76\00:08:56.50
those whose minds are steadfast
00:08:56.53\00:08:59.80
stayed upon you
because they trust in You."
00:08:59.83\00:09:05.71
Father, thank You for that trust
00:09:05.74\00:09:08.41
that I have in You.
00:09:08.44\00:09:11.31
Thank You that You
give me that peace of mind.
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.88
Lord, I wanna pray
for this one who has said,
00:09:18.55\00:09:22.82
they need deliverance
from a bad habit and addiction.
00:09:26.26\00:09:32.00
Pray that I may
in Christ's strength
00:09:32.03\00:09:34.04
gained the victory.
00:09:34.07\00:09:35.74
Lord, it is
only in your strength
00:09:35.77\00:09:37.37
that we have the victory.
00:09:37.41\00:09:40.51
Someone says, I
need God's guidance
00:09:40.54\00:09:42.44
and help in my life.
00:09:42.48\00:09:45.81
Oh God, we all need
that guidance and help.
00:09:45.85\00:09:51.02
Someone says, I'm
asking for prayers
00:09:51.05\00:09:52.82
on behalf of my son
00:09:52.85\00:09:54.19
who's suffering
from schizophrenia.
00:09:54.22\00:09:58.26
And as a result, he smokes
up to a box of cigarettes a day.
00:09:58.29\00:10:02.66
Oh, Father, I ask in Jesus' name
00:10:02.70\00:10:04.73
that You would grant
sound mind to this child,
00:10:04.77\00:10:11.07
that You will take away
00:10:11.11\00:10:12.47
this problem in his
mind that his addiction would
00:10:16.48\00:10:20.98
go away as well.
00:10:21.02\00:10:22.45
One says, I pray
for victory at my job.
00:10:25.59\00:10:27.92
I pray for a
quiet hour every morning
00:10:27.96\00:10:30.13
to be sought in
the early morning.
00:10:30.16\00:10:32.09
I need to study the Bible more
00:10:32.13\00:10:33.90
and not to be
worried about my job.
00:10:33.93\00:10:36.67
Please pray that I
will be an efficient worker.
00:10:36.70\00:10:39.17
Lord, I ask that
You will help us all
00:10:42.37\00:10:45.37
to be victorious in our work.
00:10:45.41\00:10:49.28
Thank You for work.
00:10:49.31\00:10:50.75
Thank You for the
jobs that we have that
00:10:50.78\00:10:54.98
help us to make a living
and give us an opportunity
00:10:55.02\00:10:58.92
to share with others,
our work, our coworkers.
00:10:58.95\00:11:03.02
Thank you.
00:11:03.06\00:11:04.39
So I pray in Jesus' name
00:11:04.43\00:11:05.76
that You will meet
the request of this one.
00:11:05.79\00:11:09.96
And, Lord, there's one
who has a daughter of a friend
00:11:10.00\00:11:13.74
in her 50s who has cancer.
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.67
It doesn't look good.
00:11:15.70\00:11:18.11
Lord, I lift her up.
00:11:18.14\00:11:20.18
I just ask in Jesus' name
for anyone who is watching,
00:11:20.21\00:11:24.81
who is battling cancer,
00:11:24.85\00:11:28.58
diseases that seem unhealable,
00:11:28.62\00:11:35.52
Lord, we trust that
You are able to heal.
00:11:35.56\00:11:38.99
Father God,
00:11:43.10\00:11:44.43
may Your peace reign
over those who are watching,
00:11:48.10\00:11:51.07
even in the midst
of their struggles
00:11:51.11\00:11:53.61
and in the midst
of their diseases.
00:11:53.64\00:11:56.08
God give them Your
overwhelming peace.
00:12:01.22\00:12:04.75
Thank You for that peace.
00:12:09.76\00:12:11.09
And I want to remind you
not to take peace for granted.
00:12:14.73\00:12:18.43
But practice peace in your life.
00:12:21.50\00:12:24.51
Practice peace in
your relationships.
00:12:28.74\00:12:33.08
When others see
you living at peace,
00:12:33.11\00:12:37.65
it's the perfect
witness of Christ in your life.
00:12:37.69\00:12:42.46
And it's an open door to
share Christ with others.
00:12:42.49\00:12:45.19
So I pray that
the peace of Christ
00:12:48.70\00:12:50.80
will richly dwell in you.
00:12:50.83\00:12:53.03
Peace, peace

Wonderful peace
00:13:03.58\00:13:06.92
Coming down
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.38

00:13:09.42\00:13:16.79
Sweep over
00:13:16.83\00:13:20.20
By spirit for ever
00:13:20.23\00:13:26.07
