On Oct.29, 2008, I Had A Dream...

[OneAccord]

Amen, Sis Falla. I think thats one reason the Lord gave me those verses from Romans 8 this morning. A lot of unrest due to the uncertainty involving the political scene. I read that if one politician doesn't win the presidential election, there will be riots in the streets. I read where some supporters of another presidential hopeful has declared that if their "man" doesn't win, they will renounce their citizenship and leave the US.

So much unrest. So much uncertainty. I think of Jesus asleep in the boat. All around Him, the wind blew, the waves tossed while the disciples fretted. But within Him was peace. And in HIM is peace.

Peace Be Still
By Twila Paris

There is an ocean surrounding me
Mostly the water is calm
Just enough breeze to keep me sailing
I feel sage and warm
Angry winds blow suddenly
How this world can threaten me
Then the Master speaks with sure authority

Chorus

Peace be still, Peace be still
Peace be still to the wind and the waves
Peace be still, Peace be still
Peace be still and the ocean obeys
There is an ocean inside my heart
Mostly the water is calm
Just enough breeze to keep me sailing
I feel safe and warm
Angry winds blow suddenly
I become a churning sea
Then I hear a quiet voice--He says to me

Repeat Chorus

Angry winds blow suddenly
I become a churning sea
Then I hear a quiet voice--He says to me

Repeat Chorus

Thank you, Bro. OneAccord, your words are SO true! And Jesus Christ,
the same yesterday and today and forever! We have nothing to fear. And
God has NOT given us the spirit (that's what it is) a spirit. FEAR, false evi-
dence appearing real.

Hugs,

outside and the clouds were SO black. Lightening and thunder and as I looked out
a window I saw things toppling. The wind was strong and I hid my face as I wondered
if any moment what would happen. It was like I was waiting but I was trusting my life
in the Lord. It was like, "Lord, whatever happens, my life's in Your Hands". I felt no
fear, just calmness. Suddenly I realized the storm had passed and I had not been
touched by it. I was safe, secure, in the midst of the storm. I thought of the song,
"Keep Me Safe In The Midst Of The Storm". And He did. God's people in the Bible
were always protected from the "Storm". There is peace in the midst of the storm.

Regardless of how the election goes and I have HIGH HOPES, but if it should not
go the way I think it should, I know that we will be safe.

"They that trust in the LORD shall be as Mt. Zion, that cannot be removed, but
abideth forever".

"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his
people from henceforth (from now on) even forever".

"As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them
forth with the workers of iniquity: BUT PEACE shall be upon Israel". (God now
in His people). ( Psalms 125:1,2,5)

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding".

"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths". (Proverbs 3:5,6)

Blessings,

We do not all that will transpire on this earth, but be do know that we must run our course and serve our generation and then will come the completion of all the we shall be and the reconciliation of all things.
