Charles Stanley...haha

So, on the way home awhile ago dad turned the radio on some channel that Charles Stanley was preaching...and i was like okkk...
But, when we got home I actually went to my room and turned it on too...it was a good sermon that a lot of people, including myself needed to hear--about peace.
You hear all the time to trust in God and that will give you peace--"well ive tried that"--when you truly understand the deep meaning of a personal relationship with Jesus, that is when you understand how trusting him gives you peace. When you pray for something, you have to have faith that, and claim that it WILL be done. Otherwise, it's not any good.
To me, peace and faith are directly tied together. If you don't claim it and believe that it is yours satan will still have you hung up on the depression, the oppression, the fear, the anxiety. But when you believe that you have been given a spirit of POWER. It is yours.
That may not seem logical, how just believing that peace is yours will work, or give you power to rise above your situtaion but Paul said God's peace surpasses ALL understanding. It's not going to make sense to us how God is able to do what He does for us. But, that's okay. That's why He's God, and we are not.
In Greek, peace means "tied together; one" God the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit are tied together to make one. When we are tied together with Him, the result is peace. In order to have peace, you must have Jesus. : )

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of self-control." [Timothy 1:7]

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." [Philippians 1:7]

"I know the Peacespeaker, I know Him by my name
I know the Peacespeaker, He controls the winds and
waves
When He says "peace, be still", they have in obey
I'm glad I know the Peacespeaker, yes I know Him by
name"
