The Root of Peace

"In essence, there is only one thing God asks of us- that we be men and women of prayer, people who live close to God, people for whom God is everything and for whom God is enough- that is the root of peace. We have that peace when the gracious God is all we seek".

Stripped down, this is essentially what being a Christian is. Constantly seeking God with everything in your being for our nature is not of this world. Our nature is derived from Him who made everything and without Him, we are nothing. This is a truth a vast majority are not willing to accept because they want to go their own way to find what they think they want. What exists in this life outside of the will of God will surely perish and those who worship what dies.

I'm not trying to be negative in this post because the quote I supplied is for love. But I must be bold and proclaim that true happiness is not found unless a faithful relationship to Jesus Christ is established. Again, this may sound like religious fundamentalism bashing you in the cerebral cortex but I assure you, this is the truth that must be proclaimed to all nations until His return.

Prayer is just conversation with God. It's humbly approaching His throne with our requests which he always hears. I don't believe God turns His ear from us because he knows our needs. He knows what's best for us even before we ask it. But the Word says to bring our petitions to God. Blessings! He wishes to bestow blessings! Gifts! What is so hard to understand? Ask and it will be given to you! We should stop complicating Him so much when he makes himself so available to us. His grace is sufficient.

Just know that when you willfully and humbly submit yourself to Jesus, there's no looking back. There's no need to. There's no need to go back to the life you once lived. A better life is ahead of you. It won't be easy but you'll never be alone. You don't need religious fringes like legalism and what is the right denomination. All you need is Christ. Know Him above all. The religious established and the self-appointed theocracy in this world will try to oppress you and slave you with inferiority complexes and feelings of worthlessness. All you need to do is accept who you are in Christ. There is no bondage in knowing God, only peace and freedom.

Romans 5:1-2, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand".
