The God of Peace - Part 4 - By Pat Stanton


God wants you to understand that it is His desire and will for you to live a life of peace...

God wants you to understand that it is His desire and will for you to live a life of peace and quietness. 1 Timothy 2:1,2 - "I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."

Hebrews 12:14, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

Hebrews 13:20,21 - "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

During the past forty years, I have counseled and prayed with thousands of individuals. My heart is always strangely warmed as I see the light of life return to eyes of the young or old. I have prayed for a large variety of people including the alcoholic, drug addict, the lonely, the sick, the fearful, the college student, the divorcee, the young, the elderly, the pastors, and the teachers. 

In all of these situations, I have prayed to the same Father, and asked the same Jesus to touch, heal, and restore through the power of the same Holy Spirit. And the results are the same; the people receive the touch of God and experience a new measure of peace.

Most of the people who receive inner healing for the hurts of the past have never experienced the peace that comes to their hearts and minds as a result of prayer. They have never opened their minds and emotions to the oil of the Holy Spirit. At the meetings where I have had the opportunity to share the Word of God and pray for people, I find that tremendous problems and burdens are within the people. The Lord told me many years ago that He had called me to minister peace and healing to the people. This has proven to be true over and over again. Through the years, I have continued to receive testimonies of those who are experiencing the healing and peace of God.
