“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law
a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’"
MATTHEW 10:34-36
The Lord provides peace and freedom - no other source provides either. Everything else is a short lived joy. Often, those who have - feel more righteous and judgmental than those without. It is why the poor and humble shall inherit the earth.
It is not money that provides reconciliation for the Spirit. No - it is only in Christ Jesus are you born into a new spirit. It is this new spirit of the Lord that provides all that will be needed. With Jesus, never fear giving up that which he chooses to take. Fear only the removal of heavenly peace - removed in disobedience to the Lord.
The Lord asks that you seek his peace and not that of searching for it in the world or from other people. The sword of Christ is to cut away all that which binds you up and keeps you away from God - to convict you of his truth. The conviction of Christ brings forth affliction of the heart for what was previously unknown.
God is love and Jesus Christ came to save you from that which leads to death. Let the Lord Jesus have his way with you and be truly set free.
