The Word Brings Peace - Part 4 - By Pat Stanton


There are certain attitudes and steps that you can live by that will help you maintain daily peace:

4.  KEEP YOUR MIND FILLED WITH THE WORD - Matthew 4:4, "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

John 15:7, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in  you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

Proverbs 3:1,2, "My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee."

Psalm 119:165, "Great peace have they which love thy law:  and nothing shall offend them."


5.  MAKE ONLY GOOD CONFESSIONS - James 3:2 states that if we speak only edifying words that we will be able to control our whole body and nature. This means that we can have better health, a purer life, and abundant peace.

James 3:6 says that our tongue can defile our whole body. In other words people become physically sick because of their diseased tongue.

Matthew 15:11, "Not that which goeth ino the mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

If we want miracles and peace in our lives, we must speak only positive words of faith based on God's promises. If we need salvation for a loved one, we must stop making bad confessions, and it will come to pass (Mark 11:23,24).

The following  are more verses that deal with the confessions of the mouth:

Proverbs 18:8 - Proverbs 12:18 - Proverbs 13:3 

Proverbs 15:4 - Proverbs 16:24 - Proverbs 21:23
