The Weapon of Peace

The gospel we take into the spiritual warfare is the gospel of peace. Did you ever consider peace to be an essential weapon of war? It is--spiritually. When we can rest in the assurance that the battle has already been won--in God's promise that no matter how difficult the battle, victory is assured, we will be at peace. Earthquake proof. In Christ we have a peace that should never be disturbed, unshakeable. There should never be a hint of panic, never a doubt of despair, never a thought of failure, for we walk with our feet shod in the gospel of peace. It has garrisoned, fortified our hearts and minds. We can continue to love right and think right regardless of the situation in which we find ourselves, regardless of the reality the devil tries to foist upon us.
If the devil can destroy our peace, he'll have us knocked off our feet, at least off balance, for certain, poor warriors in the spiritual battle. If the devil can destroy our peace, he'll have us hobbling--lame and weary--on the crutches of failure and frustration. We must rest in His peace. "My peace I give to you. Not like the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me." "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Standing in the assurance of God's promise and presence--in the assurance that the battle has already been won--that's peace with God. That's a powerful weapon in the struggle with Satan and sin. That's a gospel that will attract a peaceless world.

"Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

"We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
