Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived. A beautiful life a life filled with peace, but a very special kind of peace: shalom peace, which rules and encompasses everything in your life, which is My kind of peace. And walking in Shalom peace is wisdom.
Some people get wisdom by trials and tests they bring on themselves by their own mistakes, disobedience, or sin, but they are able to learn from them and begin to appreciate My great goodness and mercy in delivering them and rescuing them to a place of peace and honor. But there are others that get wisdom by My Word. The latter is the better way. Let My Word cleanse you, teach you, and guide you and you will avoid the trials and tests that sin and a lack of wisdom bring into your life. Yes, I will always deliver you, but it is better to avoid it in the first place by putting My Word first place. It will save you a lot of heartache and regret. Then your life is shalom and not a tossing sea.
The one who does right lives right but to live right you must think right and to think right you must train your mind by meditating on My Word day and night. What I instructed Joshua when he needed wisdom to lead and guide well over two million people into the land I had promised them is still the smoothest road to wisdom and shalom peace.
This book of the law (Torah, instruction that results in success) shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8.
Peter learned much about repentance, mercy, grace, and My great love and goodness when he denied Jesus three times but he went through hell to get back on course because of his fear and grief over his sin (he recalled Jesus saying those who deny Him before men He has to deny before Me). But if he had just listened to Jesus (My Word) and obeyed Him in the garden of Gethsemane that night he never would have gone through that. But instead he just said he would never do that and then he slept through all Jesus went through in the Garden.
And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:40-41.
Keep watching, that is what I told Adam when I told him to guard and cultivate the garden. The temptation is there, as I told Cain, but you can be its master. Do not be lazy about this, you have to stay alert or you can be caught off guard and get deceived, scammed as they call it now.
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:11-12.
Do not do things, especially life changing decisions, until you have My wisdom on them. Ask Me for wisdom. I give it generously without reproach. But you must ask in faith, that is, believing that I answered and gave it to you and then you can take it with confidence and walk in it. Go forward when you have the Word you are seeking. That is diligence. You ask, you seek, you knock and you find everything that you need just when you need it. Nothing missing, nothing broken, and no one alone, and that is SHALOM. The whole pie of life with no piece missing. Without wisdom, heavenly wisdom, you cannot flow in the rest of shalom peace. Your life will be tossed about with the fearful doubters going after every new doctrine.
There are things I have prepared for you that are so beautiful it is hard, if not impossible, to address them in human wisdom and words.
“Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” But to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
They must be expressed in heavenly wisdom and words.
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6-7.
To stay in shalom peace and wholeness you must keep your conversation in Heaven, above and not beneath, speaking the truth in love, which are the words of the overcomer.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20.
Heavenly conversation is not gossip, backbiting, temper fits, whining, complaining, rude speech, or the like. And worry, fear, and doubts would never qualify as heavenly conversation.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13.
Heavenly conversation is the conversation of shalom peace. It comes from your place of rest seated with Christ at My right hand.
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3.
Which of you desires long life filled with happiness and good days, which is shalom peace? Heavenly conversation is the answer.
Who is the man who desires life and loves length of days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek shalom peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:12-14.
When I give you a glimpse into Heaven in the book of Revelation, what is the conversation? Yes, you know, it is songs of praise, thanksgiving, worship, victory, and glory. I am your strength and song and have become your salvation.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:15-17.
So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves and one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father. Ephesians 5:17-20.
In Psalm 92 I give you the instructions of what heavenly conversation looks like that leads to being very fruitful even in old age. It is a psalm of instructions of renewal of youth with a fresh anointing. It plants you right in the courts of My house, but you know the way in! You enter the gates with thanksgiving and My courts with songs of praise!
It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night, with the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, with resounding music upon the lyre. For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. Psalm 92:1-4.
And the result of this?
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and very green, to declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Psalm 92:13-15.
Wisdom and heavenly conversation all have to do with living in shalom peace. And song is the highest form of that expression. In Heaven, those who have come into the possession of it cannot stop singing joyful songs of praise and thanksgiving. Joy has to sing. I am your strength and song and have become your salvation for My joy is your strength. And it is the song of songs and it’s all about you. And your response is your song of songs and it’s all about Me.
“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. Isaiah 12:2-3.
Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; let this be known throughout the earth. Isaiah 12:5.
I love to talk with you about shalom peace. For this is the plan I have for your life to make it beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived.
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for SHALOM and not for evil to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11.
It is all about keeping your life above and not beneath, free of what is below. It is a life of resting, abiding, and living the truth, which is My Word, which is wisdom and power for the purpose, plan, power and reward. It makes life worth living. It produces days of Heaven on earth.
Shalom peace is the abundant, overflowing, ever increasing and never ceasing for a life of shalom just steps across the light line to the other side and all is well.
You had a heavenly start, an earthly depart, and a heavenly return from where you had been. And where will it end? In My Kingdom in victory. Singing the song of the Lamb.
My Son greeted you with “Shalom” when I raised Him from the dead and you with Him. All was well, He had made you complete and whole. He speaks shalom to those who are far and those who are near, drawing into one that which was separate, reconciling all to Me by the blood of the Cross.
It is possible to live completely free from evil. That is the glory of shalom. And songs of praise are the key, David’s key to closeness with Me was and is worship. A flow from Heaven to earth, responded to and returned—ever increasing as per response.
I love you. My Son died to give you His shalom, a future and a hope. Remember an unending song in your heart is key. Start now and see!
