Shalom Beloved!
Rhema Truth 4 - Where there's inner peace there will always be outer prosperity.
What is peace? Peace is simply what you feel when you remember who and what you are without a body or a world πConfusion is what you feel when you forget who and what you are minus a body and a world π Meditate π§ββοΈ on that truth!
Peace is what you are as a perfect eternal spirit. Spirit can't be conquered, confused, or challenged! Peace is what you feel deeply in the world within yourself! It is the inner calmness, the inner confidence, the inner courage, and the inner composure you feel within your emotional energetic eternal essence.......no matter what may be happening in the world π without!
Peace doesn't worry, it can't be angry, it can't not know the end from the beginning of anything that happens in the dream, it never ever seeks revenge, and it is never fearful. Yeshua said, "Peace be still," right in the middle of a death defying storm! Why? Because only when the mind is stilled or silenced will the peace within you stop the raging storms happening without! Once the mind is stilled you'll know that you are god/creator in that moment.
Listen to what these great wise teachers said about inner peace:
β’ Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." β Ralph Waldo Emerson
β’ "Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." β Buddha
β’ "If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present." β Lao Tzu
β’ "Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." β Dalai Lama
Yeshua said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in me (abiding in my Truth) you might have peace. If your mind is constantly dwelling in the world you will have trouble and tribulation. But if your emotions are of good cheer because your mind is in my Truth; you will overcome anything in the world, even as I overcame the world!"
Total prosperity promised by God is inseparable from inner peace (Lam.3:17)! But, where there's no peace within there will be no prosperity without. Total prosperity is increasing spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, gracefully, and financially.
The peace I speak about is an eternal part of your spirit (Gal.5:22). Peace is what you are as a spirit. In the Bible, the primary word for peace is shalom (Hebrew), which means eternal wholeness, eternal harmony, and eternal completeness. Peace is the emotion you feel when you know for a surety that nothing is missing, broken, lacking, or wrong in your true identity. It's the feeling of being in harmony with Truth! It's knowing that as a piece of God you're eternally complete. The direct opposite of shalom is inner chaos, inner strife, or inner hostility, representing a complete breakdown of divine order, a destruction of your eternal well-being, and a complete annihilation of your eternal relationship with God!
When you're not in the inner space of peace that only comes from daily PMSA you're ALWAYS in an emotional state of chronic anxiety, overwhelming fear, and tormented by the inner toxic anticipation of death and disaster!
Total outer prosperity is CAUSED by the inward increase of the 9 qualities of your spirit, which automatically and supernaturally causes your outward circumstances to increase!
Listen very carefully: The more you choose love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and temperance as your daily response to any form of negativity, the more you will INCREASE physically and financially!
That's a π― percent guarantee!
Every day, when you are tempted by your ego mind to think, speak, or to react in an un-spiritual way to a negative manifestation, choose to be spiritual in that moment.
Choose love rather than fear.
Choose joy rather than anger.
Choose peace rather than revenge.
Choose patience rather than impatience.
Choose kindness rather than being unkind.
Choose good rather than evil.
Choose faithfulness rather than betrayal.
Choose meekness rather than being un-teachable.
Choose control rather than victimhood.
Isaiah 48:22 says, "There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked." The primary Hebrew word for "wicked" is rasha. It describes someone whose mind is twisted! Their consciousness is not the consciousness of The Infinite! Their thoughts, words, emotions, imagination, decisions, and actions aren't in harmony with Truth. So, if you're not in your Right Mind, which is the Christ Mind of your spirit, you're in a wicked mental and emotional space.
Isaiah 61:11 says, "For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth within you before all the nations."
If you sow peace into your heart only peace will manifest in your circumstances.
Mark 4:26-28 says, And Yeshua said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, but he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
The kingdom of God is within you (Lk.17:21)!
The seed is the word of God (Lk.8:11) or the promise of God!
Those who can continue to sow the truth of God (or the promise of God) into their mind without fearing that the harvest won't happen and those who know the earth or the mind brings forth harvest of itself (without human interference) will ALWAYS reap a guaranteed harvest of ANYTHING they want, need, or desire.!
Remember this: Peace is independently felt within oneself. It's not dependent upon outer sensations or outer situations. It is something that eternally belongs to one, something that is one's own true self.
It is spirit.
If one were to ask someone who lives continually in a kind of excitement of worldly pleasures, whom Divine Providence has unconsciously granted to them all pleasures imaginable, if that person were asked, 'What do you wish for besides all this that you now experience?' If honest, he will say, 'To be in peace.'
When the madness comes, when he is out of balance with his inner spirit, he will always crave for another outer sensation, but when that passion has gone, what he is STILL longing for in reality is INNER peace.
Something internal can't be found external. Therefore, there is no pleasure in the world, however great, no experience, however interesting, that can give one that true satisfaction which only peace alone can give.
A political sovereign may be happy sitting on the throne with his crown, with many attendants before him, but he is truly only satisfied when he is alone by himself. All else seems to him nothing. It has no true value. The most precious thing in the world for him is that moment when he is completely ALONE by himself. For only a peaceful person can enjoy and embrace BEING ALONE without physical distractions.
Peace is that Eternal Something that one need not seek outside oneself, that one can only find within oneself, and something which is incomparably greater and more valuable than anything else in the world.
Peace is that Spirit Something which cannot be bought or sold, something which cannot be robbed by anyone, and something which is more sacred and more holy than any religion or prayer. For all prayer and all religious devotion is to attain this peace that's already within oneself.
Peace is not a knowledge, peace is not a power, peace is not a happiness, but impregnated within peace is all these. And besides, peace is a product of happiness. Peace inspires one with knowledge of the seen and the unseen, and in this peace is to be found the Divine Eternal Presence.
It is not the excited one who conquers in this continual battle of life. It is the peaceful one who tolerates all, who forgives all, who understands all, who assimilates all things. The one who lacks peace, with all his possessions, the property of this earth or quality of education, is poor even with both. He has not got that inner wealth which may be called divine and without which man's life is totally and completely useless. For true life is in this peace, a life which will not be robbed by physical death. The secret of mysticism, the mystery of philosophy, all is to be attained after the attainment of peace. You cannot refuse to recognize the divine in a person who is a person of peace. It is not the talkative, it is not the argumentative one, who proves to be wise. He may have intellect, worldly wisdom, and yet may not have pure spiritual intelligence, which is real wisdom.
True wisdom is only to be found in the peaceful, for peacefulness is the sign of spiritual wisdom. It is the peaceful one who is observant. It is peace that gives him the power to observe keenly. It is the peaceful one, therefore, who can conceive, for peace helps him to achieve and to conceive the impossible as possible. It is only the peaceful who can contemplate; one who has no peace cannot contemplate wisely. Therefore, all things pertaining to spiritual progress in life depend upon the attainment of this inner peace.
And now the question is what makes one lack this peace? The answer is, the love of physical sensation. A person who is always seeking to experience life in movement, in activity, in whatever form, wants more and more of that experience. In the end he or she becomes dependent upon the life which is outside, and so he or she loses in the end their peace, the peace which is his or her real self.
When a person says about someone, 'That person has lost his soul,' the soul is never truly lost; the soul has simply lost its peace which comes from being in connection with its spirit.
Absorption in the outer life, every moment of the day and night, thinking and worrying and working and fighting, struggling along, in the end robs one of one's soul. Even if one gains as the price of that fighting something which is outside oneself, someone who is a greater fighter still will snatch it from our grasp one day. One might ask if it is not our necessity in life that keeps us absorbed in the outer life and does not give us a moment to experience peace. In answer to this I must say: suppose the outer life has taken ten hours of the day, you still have two hours. If sleep has taken ten hours of the day, you still have two hours to spare.
To attain peace, what one has to do is to seek that rhythm which is in the depth of our being. It is just like the great sea: the surface of the sea is ever moving; but the depth of the sea is always still.
And so it is with our life. If our life is thrown into the sea of activity, it is on the surface. We still live in the profound depths, in that peace. But the thing is to become conscious of that peace which can be found within ourselves. It is this which can bring us the answer to all our problems. If not, when we want to solve one problem, there is ALWAYS another difficult problem coming.
There is no end to our problems. There is no end to the difficulties of the outer life. And if we get excited over them, we shall never be able to solve them.
Some think, 'We might wait. Perhaps the conditions will become better. We shall see then what to do.' But when will the conditions become better? They will become still worse! Whether the conditions become better or worse, the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God within ourselves, in which there is our peace. As soon as we have found that, we have found our Eternal support, we have found our infinite self.
And in spite of all the activity and movement on the surface, we shall be able to keep that peace undisturbed if only we hold it fast by always becoming conscious of it through daily PMSA!
