Hello
When I was younger, I grew up in a very violent home. My dad was out of control. I was consumed with fear. I can say that he was the reason that I was so fearful.
He was a wife beater and he also beat his children.
He was full of rage and violence. Yet, he believed in God!
My mother, on the other hand, harmed her children in a different way. She was so “religious” that everything was a sin, and she abused us with it. She also believed in God
yet, we walked on egg shells as children.
I was “terrified” of doing wrong because of a hot hot hell. I was terrified of doing wrong because of a violent father.
I grew up scared, plain and simple.
They divorced when I was seven. The best day of my life, or so I thought. I had 10 more years of abuse with my mother.
When I married, away from my mother’s house, I was a frightened, scared, scarred
frady cat. I was afraid of my own shadow.
Growing up, I was terrified of my dad, because of my overtly religious mother and her zealous religion, to me, he was demon possessed. I cringed when I was near him. And, it followed me throughout my young life, until the Lord delivered me from fear.
One day, when I was in my 20’s, I was tired of being afraid (terrified) of the dark, when I allowed my faith to take me to church and be prayed for.
I believe the Lord directed me to go to a prayer meeting at church, and believe God for a healing. I listened and obeyed Him.
I went up to the front, and poured out my heart out to my Father God. No one prayed for me, which I thought was odd and disappointing. I got up when I was finished praying and left. I went as far as the exit door, when a woman came to me and told me she noticed my prayer to God, and wanted to pray for me. ((thank you, Jesus!!)) I went back to the front, and she and others gathered around me and started praying.
I told her my reason for being there was to be delivered from fear. So I was prayed for, and with the miracle of scriptures that told me all about fear, and that it was NOT of God, I took them, utilized them, walked them out, prayed them out, and the Lord DELIVERED me!
I am no longer fearful. I know who my enemy is. Better yet, I KNOW who my Father is!
I leave you with: Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Jesus is my friend, and gave me a gift for you

PEACE
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 KJV
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27 KJV
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 KJV
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
The way to PEACE is through Jesus Christ, Amen?
It is Jesus who leaves us HIS peace. Because scripture says, “in this world we shall have tribulation.” But IN Christ Jesus, we shall have peace. So, we need not be troubled, nor afraid.
If God be for us, who can be against us?? So, why not go to the way maker? The one who made a way for our peace?
The only God whose name is TRUTH? The only God who can assure us eternal life, IN Him, and REST on every side??? Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God. He gives wisdom liberally, and will not rebuke us! James 4:7
Here is a tiny piece of wisdom. Trust God!
Trust Him in your peaceful times. And, trust Him in your not so peaceful times. God is our only way to true peace. And He is a very generous God! He will not hold back anything, including His PEACE, from you.
Do you want “perfect peace”? Go to Jesus! He will take this disturbance to the Father. He will take of it! He will move the distraction, remove the distraction/disturbance/rippled waters, and change it in front of your very eyes, and allow you to see that He leads you beside peaceful/restful streams, because He is God!!, and HE LOVES YOU, that much!!!
So, don’t be troubled. Don’t even let your heart go there! Jesus is here for us! He does not want you to be afraid ((of anything)) any longer.
His desire is for you to have Perfect Peace through Him, because, through Him all things are made perfect!!! Through Jesus Christ, who is the perfection of PERFECT, we can rely on Him to cast out all fear.
He drives fear away. Fear (is a spirit) and fear knows that it must flee, because we are the submitted unto our Lord. We reverently submit unto the Lord, and resist the fear/distraction/the devil’s schemes against us, and with our own eyes see it move away… in fear.
You see, we need not fear. But there is one who needs to fear Jesus! He will lose every single time. He (the devil) knows who the Truth is too. And, they don’t get along! But he will try, try, try, to disrupt your peace. BUT, unless you let him, he won’t/can’t have his way with you.
This is where WISDOM comes in. Remembering, God’s truth. Remembering, God’s assurances toward you, his Child. Remembering, that the devil lost when Jesus rose from that grave. This gives me peace, that JESUS WON and the devil LOST!!! Hallelujah!!!
For the devil to get God’s message, we need to TRUST in our God, to take care of all.
All our problems, fears, worries, and anxieties. God has his hand on you, friend. His eyes are roaming the earth finding the righteous. (the ones who trust Him) and He, our Father, helps us. Matter of fact, scripture states, He is a very present help in times of trouble!
Are you troubled? Soul, are you troubled. Go to God. He is very present! Allow Him to be present, and make the enemy flee.
This is why the Lord tell us to be anxious for nothing. Don’t be anxious! The bible tells you not to. But trust our Lord to take care of you.
The scriptures tell us to GO to Jesus. The only way to the Father, and the Father’s blessing of peace. He Jesus is the only way, truth, and life. He is our Perfect Peace!
Jesus left us a gift: Perfect Peace. Why not take it? Why not utilize it. Why not let God’s wisdom speak to you. He has a wonderful, comforting voice, which tells you, “I’ve got this!” and, “let me handle this for you!” Why not? He is God, and we are not! He does not want you troubled or anxious. Jesus left us a gift, perfect peace!
Hey! The world can not do that for us!
I am a friend of God! He left me (and you) with a gift; His Holy Spirit. He comforts us. He loves us! His blessings and mercies are new every morning! He asked/commanded me/us to trust Him.
And, Father, I do, I trust You. Thank you, for Perfect Peace that stays with me. Thank you for the simple solution and remedy for peace. Trusting in You is the best gift You gave us! As I trust in You, I have peace. I need not worry about tomorrow, because, You stated “tomorrow will take care of itself.” I don’t need to understand what is going on around me, and most things around me are distracting, worrying me to the point, that if I choose NOT to trust in You, I will lose it! I will sin. But, Lord, I CHOOSE to trust in You. I choose not to allow circumstance rule me. The little mustard seed of faith you implanted in me will turn from seed to fruit, as I allow YOU to rule my heart and mind.
I choose to trust You, Lord, will ALL my life. Not, putting my hands on any of it, but allow You total control of it.
Thank you for “keeping” me Jesus. You keep my heart and my mind. You guard it, and show me how to guard it for myself. By having confidence IN You, knowing that I know, that I know, that I am in the palm of Your very capable hands, and I need not fear, but trust.
Thank you, that I need not “understand” YOUR PORTION and YOUR PART pertaining to my life. Just me just trusting that You know (and care about) my big picture brings me comfort.
You know my right now, all the way to the point where I will see You face to face. You care for my life. You care. When you see my circumstances, You allow my faith to go into action by trusting You. You allow my eyes to see, that You are in control and I am not,
YOU got this. Lord! YOU take care of me! YOU are my Father, my Heavenly Father, who only wants good for me.
So thank you! Thank you for being bigger than I. Thank you that your thoughts for me are higher! And your ways much better than my ways. Thank you for sending Your Word to us so that we can see that it IS GOD who has our back with LOVE. Yes, and with PROTECTION. With PEACE that passes all understanding, as we choose to purposely trust in You, and keep our minds FIXED on You, my Lord.
Thank you, that it is YOU who keeps us in Perfect Peace, and my heart smiles, and says humbly, “thank you.” Because I need You, Lord. I need Your peace. I need Your protection, and mostly I need You to honor my faith, as I trust You in everything pertaining to my life. (spiritual and physical) I find it is only YOU who can help me!
In Jesus name I pray, with thanksgiving in my heart.
Amen Jesus!
Amen

REST
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matt 11:29
This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.’
Jer 6:16
But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor misfortune.
1 Kings 5:4
He said to them, "Is not the LORD your God with you?
And has he not granted you rest on every side?
1 Chron 22:18
Ah, nothing like the PEACE of God! But, when you find the REST of God, knowing that it is your Father who gives us these wonderful gifts makes a heart merry!
It is the COMFORT of God that brings REST unto your souls! When wisdom speaks to you, via way of the Holy Spirit, Wisdom cries out to you! Listen! Wake up! Pay attention!
Rest belongs to you! You are allowed to have PERFECT PEACE IN Me, Jesus assures us!
I promise you, that when you see for yourself the revelation of what Jesus has for you here on earth, your mind and spirit will be filled with joy unspeakable and be filled full with God’s glory!
When you see for yourself that the DEVIL LOST- and loses every day, because of your trust and faith in your Heavenly Father, you not only win, win win, but the enemy loses every time you pray to believe to receive from your Father.
When you “get this down” that the enemy is a noisy gong, a toothless lion, one who loves distraction, and would love to perpetrate his shenanigans on you, but can’t, only leaves me with a beautiful answer and a BIG thank you!
God is showing you, by way of His Word, that we can have REST ON EVERY SIDE. But we have to know that we know that we know that God is with us! He never leaves us! His eye is on you. He cares for you. He wants you to REST IN HIM.
Our only comfort and hope is in our Lord. My hope is in You, all the day long, Abba! Hallelujah!
He left us His wonderful Holy Spirit, and it is He who teaches us, and comforts us through His Word (which is Himself) to speak to us these truths! Do you want rest? Look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith! It takes faith to make this big step seem easy!
Which is the good way? Scripture asks. The way to God? Hmmm, didn’t we read it is only through Jesus Christ, our way, that we can see God???
Which is the good way? Don’t be the one who looks and looks. The one who is undecided, who can’t make up his mind. Do I trust God, things are not working for me right now. What do I do?
I find, when things are NOT WORKING is when I NEED to RUN to God, who has my answers! I look for the GOOD WAY- His name is Jesus! I choose to walk with Him!
You see, when things are not working my way, I find there is something wrong. Sin is present. Am I entertaining sin more than I am in God’s Word finding my answers???
I choose to find rest for my soul! I don’t want to keep asking my soul “why it is so down cast!” I want freedom! I want rest! I NEED Jesus to help me! So, I search for that door, and knock and keep knocking, until that door is answered. God will answer as I am diligent in my faith and trust IN Him.
Know this friend. Rest on every side can belong to you! Some take it, and some live miserably in this life because they choose not to walk with God.
We all have a choice here. Those who listen to Wisdom and choose LIFE, (Jesus) choose well! But those hardheaded nimble brains who choose to shuck away the truth, will find out the hard way that God doesn’t work with those who refuse Him. He loves you, and pities you, and wants you with Him, but He will not force you to trust Him. Those who do not trust/believe/adhere to God/Jesus condemns themselves it says in John 3:16-18…
God doesn’t do that, the sinner who refuses God does.
So why open the door, and give the devil a foot hold? Why sink in the miry depth of sin by refusing to trust God? Don’t have a slipping foot! Stand firm on the rock! Don’t open that door! ((John 2:1-2 says: My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father — Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours alone, but also for the sins of the whole world.))
Knock on this door! Help, me Jesus! I do not want to sin! I do not want to feel like I am being chased by the devil. NO!!! I want to stand firm in YOU. I choose to walk in FREEDOM because I trust YOU. I choose to let my belief IN You make me strong, with Your strength, and have rest on every side. I purpose in my heart not to be wishy-washy, and undecided and waffle in my belief. I TRUST YOU, JESUS!!! I will stand firm on the rock. I will have rest on every side, I will see for myself that YOU are GOD and there is none other! Yes, this is what I believe! Now I can see for myself that the adversary is gone. He can not cause harm or destruction or misfortune. You are my God. You are my REST. I HAVE PEACE IN YOU, JESUS! You are my LORD. Thank you for granting me rest on every side, as I take a stand for Jesus!
As I do, Jesus takes a stand for me. The devil has to flee! The ripply waters have to be obediently still, per God’s Word. I choose to walk in the Way of my Lord, because it is He who helps me, loves me, and is with me always.
I don’t need to fear the enemy. The enemy needs to fear me! He fears the Wisdom taught to me. He fears Wisdom’s words to my heart and out of my mouth, as I say:
MOUNTAIN MOVE, and be cast into the sea! Because faith will cause it to happen.
Mountain (whatever the mountain is) will have to obey the voice of God coming out of my mouth. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! We are winners! I said it before, and I will say it again….
we are winners in Jesus Christ!
If I can encourage you, don’t be the one who refuses to “walk” in the way of the Lord.
Do you want ‘rest for your soul?’
Walk in the Light!
Confidently Walk in the name of your God! Satan knows who He is, and is afraid of Him.
Walk in the way of righteousness! Jesus is with you!
Walk in the Lord’s presence! You will never go wrong. Dwell with God, and He will dwell with you! Seek Him, and you will find Him. Knock on His door, and He promised, He will answer you!
Do you want God with you? Walk in His ways. Meditate on His words. Taste and see!!! God is so so good! In Him, there is no darkness. In Him, you will find rest!
Be like Jesus. He trusted God with EVERYTHING! Where He laid His head, where He taught in the synagogue, when He healed the sick, diseased, and we read; the demons had to flee. They were silenced!
Jesus had faith that God would take care of Him. Jesus is God who takes care of us! We need not worry about what is in front of us, but rest in God.
REJOICE in God… His perfect will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. No matter what, we have a win-win situation. Our here and now is in God’s hands, and as we take our last breath. God is with us!
Rest in your God. See the peaceful waters He leads us to, in Psalm 23. See Him say to you, Daughter/Son, my Grace is sufficient for you! I promise you rest on every side. Trust me, is all I am asking of you. Trust me. You are very important to me. I watch the birdies, and love all my sparrows. Don’t you think I love you any less than they? I love my song birds. However, I love you more! I love you because you LOVE Me, and I promise you good. I promise you rest. I promise you peace. I love you with an everlasting love.
Don’t you think I want this for you? I do. Please trust me.
Thank you Father for all your promises made to Your people all across the earth.
Ah Lord God, thank you for Wisdom to show us revelation IN You that opens our eyes to the mysteries of God. You open all Your goodnesses to us! You are a good good kind and wonderful Father. Thank you!
Thank you for opening our eyes to SEE You, Abba.
Thank you for rest on every side, as we see for ourselves that You take very good care of us. The enemy can roar all day, but we don’t have to listen to him.
He seeks our very lives, but GREATER ARE YOU LORD, who lives IN me. Than that enemy.
The knowledge of knowing that we are Protected by Your Mighty Name, gives me rest to my soul.
O my soul, bless the Lord. All that’s in me, bless His holy name. I can rejoice in You, and rejoice again and again, because You are my God, and Greater, and Mightier, and Holy.
O my soul bless the Lord!!! I reverently bless You, my Abba, my Jesus. Thank you, for all you have done for me.
Thank you, that I am IN You, as You are IN the Father.
Thank you!
In Jesus mighty name, who causes me REST on every side.
Amen Jesus!

CONFIDENCE
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
(in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him)
EPH 3:12.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we
ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14
Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field. The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever. Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
Isaiah 32:16-18
Confidence: Firm Trust, (fully) rely. Felling certain. No doubt.
IN Jesus, through faith in Jesus can we approach God. IN Jesus we have freedom. IN Jesus we have confidence. IN Jesus we have boldness and access to God.
Since we have this “confidence” we can boldly ask anything of the Father, according to His will, and God will hear us!
The righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is the believer who confidently believes in the Lord. We are secure in Jesus, our Anchor. He is our Rock and our Fortress. Our secure place of rest. Our reward will be peace and quiet confidence f o r e v e r with God and His precious Son!
TRUSTING IN God benefits the believer. Having confidence and faith opens the door to blessings heaped upon blessings. It is God’s special gift to us to have faith in His Son.
Believing is important!
Having confidence in our God is equally important! If we don’t believe, we are condemned. Cursed. Worse, cursed by our own choice.
I am the one of the many to confess that I BELIEVE IN JESUS!!! Without Him, I am nothing. On my own, I can’t make it. He is my help, my salvation in every aspect of my life, my freedom and my peace. I am secure in my God! My confidence in Him is wonderful, because, HE is WONDERFUL!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, that my confidence is IN You!
Without You, I am nothing! I can not do anything without Your help, so, thank you! Thank you, for the little seed that You planted inside of me. A measure of faith, that will grow and grow and grow. My faith will grow into something!
My God shall supply all of my needs! My faith IN You creates a momentum of God’s YES in me, so I can see with my own eyes, that My Father is a good good father. You love us so much Father, thank you!
I love You, and appreciate You so much, Lord. Thank you, for the lessons you give us to grow IN You.
Thank you for the Peace of Jesus inside of us that we need not be anxious for nothing. And, thank you, for the knowledge and wisdom You have planted inside of us to simply rely on You, for everything!
Because, we can not do life without Your wonderful help.
In Jesus name, I pray, with CONFIDENCE!!!
Amen! Amen Jesus!
p.s.
Remember, I opened with a terrible story?
I can testify that as awful as it was growing up, GOD NEVER LET ME DOWN.
He protected me. He even protected my parents.
I am glad that God is God and that I am not! I rely upon my Father God for everything.
My life is blessed, blessed, blessed! I do not have fear! Through out the years, God has built me up IN Him. Showing me that without a doubt, that I can place ALL my confidence and trust IN Him, and that He will take care of me, and He has.
I don’t know why God has had this message put together through my fingertips. But, as I type, He will reveal YOUR miracle too.
I pray blessing over you- whoever you may be.
God bless you. Take a big step out of the box- and trust God for your answer.
all my love, prayers and faith for your miracle,
Lorraine
