Peace by the Holy Spirit

Peace by the Holy Spirit SHINE

Peace by the Holy Spirit Results of the Holy Spirit Working But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT2)

Peace is looked at differently by the world and by God. Just getting people to get along in someway is enough to call it peace. Like getting kids to hug and make up. God’s peace is deeper and foundational.

Absence of Conflict Appearance Inner turmoil Anger Jealousy False expectations Exaggerated sense of self Greed Lust Mannerly Peace as Jesus gives it is not like the world’s idea of peace “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27 (NLT2)
