God will not command us to do anything that was not possible through his power. If we give God all our worries and all of our cares, then we do not have them. And if we don’t have them, then we’re living a peaceful life.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Don’t worry about anything (small or big). If we’re not worried about anything then we’re living an anxiety-free life.

What does a worry-free life look like?

John 14:27 KJV | God is leaving his peace with us. Not the peace that the world can give, but only peace that he can give. God’s peace is different from the world’s peace.

So how will we know we have God’s peace and not the world’s peace? You will know that it’s God’s peace when your peace exceeds anything that is normal, usual, typical, or expected.

Are you walking in the worlds’ peace or Gods’ peace?

3-Fold Effects of God’s Peace

We’re able to make sound wise and bible-based decisions in the heat of the battle, no matter how intense the battle lasts.
God keeps the trouble outside of us. It keeps the trouble from getting on the inside of you. (John 16:33)
Walking in God’s peace is a vital part of our witness. It’s not just reading the bible and quoting it, it’s acting on it! Being a living example.

It is possible to have peace all the time, no matter what is happening in your life. – Mike Moore
