The Multiplication of Peace.
More than forty years ago after I heard the Gospel of my salvation, I believed that message, and I confessed that Jesus was Lord, and I believed that God raised him from the dead. That caused me to be become a “born again” child of God. (Romans 10:9-10) Immediately, I sensed a “PEACE” within myself that I had never experienced before. I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted from my shoulders, and I was filled with joy unspeakable, and full of Glory grinning ear to ear.
Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ:
I was now at PEACE with God, but there were other areas in my life where I had no peace at all. I needed a job so I could pay my rent!! I read in the Bible right after getting saved in proverbs that “WISDOM IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN SILVER OR GOLD, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DESIRE THAT CAN BE COMPARED UNTO HER (Wisdom).” (Proverbs 3:15)
I did not know anything about what Wisdom was so I said to myself, “RIGHT NOW, I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE SOME SILVER, AND GOLD THAN WISDOM BECAUSE I NEED SOME MONEY TO PAY MY BILLS” Through the years the Lord began to teach me some very important lessons about PEACE and how this peace can be “MULTIPLIED” to me.
2Pe 1:2 GRACE AND PEACE BE MULTIPLIED unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord,
It's one thing to have peace with God, and it is another thing to have that same PEACE multiplied to you. Notice, peace is not added, but multiplied. Things always grow much faster when someone multiplies things to you instead of just adding them. 12 + 12 = 24, 12 X 12 = 144.
All Christians have peace between God and themselves, but not all Christians have peace in other areas of their life. It is only through the revelation knowledge of God can we have peace in these other areas.
2Pe 1:3 ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 WHEREBY ARE GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Notice, all these things that the Lord God has already given to us (all things that pertain to life, and Godliness) God wrapped up in the form of a “PROMISE”. A promise is what a person declares to another person. The only requirement for receiving these promises is you must know what they are, and were to go to get them. A person who makes a promise to another is bound by his Word to that person.
The word “PROMISE” also has a legal meaning to it. It means to “SUMMONS”. If you have ever had a traffic ticket you should know that the police officer will not let you go until you sign your name at the bottom of this ticket, saying “PROMISE TO APPEAR” That ticket is a summons for you to appear at a certain place at a certain time. The Lord God has summoned us to where he is so we can receive the things we are in need of!!!!
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.
If you need more PEACE in your life because of certain needs that have not been fulfilled in your life, then you need to find out what the Lord has already given you and approach his throne to get them!!
Every promise of God brings it's own separate grace, peace, and faith. Peace is the end results once it has been fulfilled in your life.
