Perfect Peace

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

So when the peace of God is there, the peace

will stand and the words of God will come.

You have been wonderfully and fearfully made, even though you

don't think so.

When you look in the mirror, a shalom shalom that

put his heart at rest. You know because at the

end of the day, if you don't, you will find

yourself wanting to give up. His perfect piece will not

come to us if our my mind he's not staying.

Thank you for today is perfect peace. Let's see where

it comes from. Are you ready Isaiah twenty six, verse three.

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is

stayed on you because he trust in you.

Isaiah six, verse three.

I want to encourage you to try to memorize this verse.

This is a wonderful verse for those of us who

go through difficulties and challenges. As I was looking into

the scripture, the Lord told me do a little bit

of study of what perfect piece means in the Hebrew.

So I look into the Hebrew, and this is what

perfect piece means. It means Shalom shalom, So those of

you who know shalom it means peace, But this is

shalom shalom, perfect peace. It means a complete piece that

covers all areas of life, spiritual, mental, emotional, spirit, soul

and body. All right, it's a whole piece, not just

part piece, ninety percent piece, but a whole. You know,

some of you could be rich but sick, that's not whole.

Whole means every part of you is blessed, every part

of you is well, every part of you is healthy.

God wants to give you Shalom shalom, a complete peace.

God wants to give us this peace, and it's full, complete, whole, spirit.

Soul, body.

It's a deep, unshakable, all encompassing calm that comes from God.

A steadiness of mind.

Oh steady, we like to say here religious steady, steadier.

Not just when you know, when you see a good

looking girl steady you know, no, no, no, or see

look good looking guy. Oh steady stay, No, no, not

that steady. This is steady because the world is so

full of bad news and.

It shakes us.

But when God gives us this peace, it's very deep, unshakable.

There's a calm even in the midst of a storm.

It's not the absence of problems or pressure, but the

answer for them. In fact, can I tell you this,

the more problems or pressure we face, the more we

need this peace.

It's going to be okay.

Turn to your neighbor right now and with faith, look

at me in the eyes, say it's going to be okay.

We're going to get through this. Those of you are

going to exams, We're going to get through this.

Yeah.

Those of you who are playing pick a ball and

you are wanting to, you know, play the finals and win.

We're going to get through this. Uh, one step at

a time, one day at a time. What does complete

hall mean?

All right?

It means happy and healthy because I've seen people are

happy but not healthy. Have you seen that happy because

maybe got money, a lot of money in the bank account.

Oh they can't buy anything that has to hire, but

not healthy. I've seen rich people in the hospital. You know,

rich people in the hospital look like poor people. Meaning

you say that when you put a rich man and

a poor man on the bed in the hospital, they

look the same. But when God moves with perfect peace,

he wants to give us both happiness and healthy because

both happiness and health. I should say, because you can

be healthy and also not happy. What does it profit

if a man gains the whole world but lose his soul?

Bibles very clear, that's not whole, that's not complete. Everybody

is still with me. However, when Jesus said in John

ten ten the thief that's not come but to still

kill and destroy. I have come that you may have

life and life more bodily so life even non Christians have.

If whatever you look at an unbeliever, you know who

have yet to come to no g he looks like

he's living the life, but not abundant life, not yet.

So Jesus don't just want to give you life. He

wants to give you life and life more abundantly. One

Shalom is fine, Life goes on, ministry continues, but there's

something that still bothers, something that holds us back, and

we're not completely free, not completely at rest. So I

sat down with this brother who was very kind to

come and see me, because I say kind, because he

must have believed that I had something to offer him,

he said, Pastor Kenneth. And by this time he was

in tears, And I said, what's wrong he says, I

feel like giving up everything. I said, yeah, but you

sound like such a good preacher, he said, yeah, past

the kenneth. I think I have enough just to go

through every week. You know, some people believe just enough.

They have enough peace just to do business. You have

enough peace just to go to work and say hello, everybody,

how's everybody fine?

Good?

And you have enough peace just to finish your work.

But you go back home feeling like I don't want

to go back home because only you know what's eating

up inside. And sometimes that's all we have. We have

enough just to carry on going to school, going to work,

or even doing ministry, preaching from one Sunday after the other.

But nobody so worse still, right, when you look like

you're doing well but you're not, and you know you're

not right, that's when it really eats you up, because

it's like living a life of hypocrisy. And after a

while people just can't stand it. They themselves look into

the mirror and they can't look at themselves anymore because

it's like it's so bad. And then we we hit

ourselves on the head saying what am I doing? How

long can I live this lie? The pressure is great,

the stress is mounting. You know what he got from

the Lord, not just peace to get through the day.

He got perfect peace, a shalom shalom that put his

heart at rest. You know, because at the end of

the day, if you don't, you will find yourself wanting

to give up. Just throw in the towel because no

one in this room can live a lie for too long.

You can't. You just can't do it.

So you want to be free, Amen, You want to

be free, and only God can set you free. Jesus,

you will know the truth, and the truth will set

you free. I want to remind you this is a

conditional promise from Isaiah twenty six, verse three. A conditional

promise means you get this promise of shalom shalom from

God who wants to keep you in this perfect peace

on condition.

What is the condition?

The Bible says, whose mind is stayed on you, whose

mind is stayed on you? Do you know what that means?

Do you know what stay means means, say means, live,

means you are found in the address. Yes, means there

is permanency. Whose mind is stayed on you, the mind

that's where the real battle is agreed. That's where the

real battle is. That's where it must be worn. So

that's that's why your mind and my mind must be

stayed on Christ. If we want his perfect peace, his

perfect peace will not come to us if our mind

mind is not stay now, if our mind is not

stayed on the Lord, I guarantee you you'll be stayed

on something else. How many of you have ever got

a bad medical report? Let me see your head, bad

medical report before last, not now, that's in the past.

Let me see your hands. Anyone bad? Okay, thank you

so much, Thank you so much. Anyone like bad case

that's wrong, like bad sugar or whatever. Or you know

somebody who's ever had a bad report in your family? Yeah,

bad report. Now, I tell you one thing about health,

bad health is that it stays on you, and it

stays on you. It stays on you every time you eat,

can I eat this? Every time you think your suppliment,

you know whatever, it just stays on you. He said,

God is asking you to have your mind stayed on him,

even if you have something else your mind can be

occupied with. Be anxious for nothing Philippines for sixty seven,

but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.

Let your request we may known to God.

Then the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will

God your hearts and mind is true Christ Jesus. The

peace of God I told you earlier is very strong,

is very powerful. But I want to tell you right

now and remind you is a God. It's the God.

Most of us are living in guarded communities. Yes, no, No,

anyone in this room not living in the garden community.

I think almost all, almost all because everyone is rich

in this room. Hallejah, praise God, rich in God. So

I have a God, right, thank God. You know it's

not high security because you know what high security is.

They just come and say hi, and then the God

says God. Right, So thank God. No more high security

for me. Yeah, this is what actually have to ask.

What I see you?

And right? How many else here?

You know?

The God?

Thank God for gods, good gods. Do you know what

the the the goodness with the God the bat or

so is with the God? No, the the answer is

with the God. The problem was always with the God.

You want to say that because the God will stop

or allow, Yes, singing your house of God.

God? Right, I remember yeah, hey this one, this area

here the.

God really, I thought, I know when I go to

Sharon's houses. You know, sister Sharon, why in vite me

come to my house? You know the god?

Wow? Really, few gods, few gods. You know? Who are you?

I don't. I don't tell him anything else. I just say, Sharon.

You know what if I say, no address, oh Anti Sharon?

So ah, give me, give me, give me divers sis,

I don't have I see if I give you my drivers,

I said to kill you. One time I told the God.

They said, mind, they give me a wife's mane. So

you have a god. Now listen, the peace of God

is your god. So the God stands at the door

of your heart, at the door of your mind. And

when words from Satan comes, your grandfather was a failure.

Your father was a failure. You are a failure, right,

all these words coming from Satan. And you know who says,

stop right now, thank you very much. Not spice girls,

but peace, the peace of God stands God there, Hello,

who are you? I see please divers I says, no,

I just want to attack the family. No way, you

stop here and you go. So you know who gods,

your heart and mind is the peace. I told you

this before, I'll tell you again. It's really true. Peace

has got that power. Though you know you will never

be able to be healthy again because you're whole soul.

Someone has cancer in your family and someone else has canceled.

So you are going to And you know sometimes we

allow these thoughts. You know why we allow these thoughts.

We didn't really allow it. The peace of God wasn't there.

The peace of God wasn't there. Are you with me?

So when the peace of God is there, the peace was,

and the words of God will come. It might be impossible,

but with God all things are possible.

Walk in.

You have been wonderfully and fearfully made, even though you

don't think so when you look in the mirror.

Come in. With God, all things are possible. Come in.

By his strikes you are healed. Come in.

God is good. Come in, He's good all the time.

Come in even more amen. By his blood you are

washed and cleanse. Your sins are forgiven.

Come in.

You may have been a rascal in your past, but

with Jesus you are safe.

Come in because the God only.

Got two drop man, stop or come stop?

Come yeah, stop or enter stop or enter? Are you

with me? With me? When you don't have the peace

of God, that.

God's your heart and mind true crist Esus, that's when

it becomes troublesome because you will allow thoughts they're not

supposed to come in to come in, and thoughts that

are supposed to come in. You will kick it up

because can it be true? Can God's would be true?

You know? So let me now draw towards the close.

The Bible says Second Corinthians ten four to five says,

for the weapons of our warfare are not connel. You

must remember this, but mighty in God for pulling down.

So you see this pulling down because there are in

your thoughts right now things that are high and lifted up.

You got to cast down every high thing that exorts

itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into

captivity to the obedience of Christ. To think about how

you fell in love and how this woman was everything

to you. You just can't wait to get married to her.

But you know our mind was stayed. Is some silly

things you do when you're in love. No have you

heard of I said, passed by the classroom just to

see her one more time? Huh, passed by the classroom,

you know, and the teacher said, hey, hello, why are

you passing by this classroom all the time. No, no, no, no,

just passing by, you know, wanting to go to the toilet.

And then the teacher said, yeah, but you're from the

other school. Use not a toilet near the school, you know.

Try to say, you do ridiculous things on your love,

ridiculous things.

You go to second mile, third mile. Can't stop thinking

about you.

This is the condition that those of us who want

perfect peace need to have with God. I can't stop

thinking about you, Jesus, because I tell you what, it's

easier to think about trouble and problems than to think

about the Lord. But I pray that all of you

here in this room will come to a place whereby

I can't stop thinking about you.

The kind of thing king that changes our countenance.

And this is what God does when we think about

him every time, even when our body is in pain,

and we think about Jesus, think about his goodness. That's

why Sums forty three, verse five says, why are you

can't out know my soul?

And why are you disquite it? Within me?

Hoping God for I shall yet praise him. What is he?

He is the help of my countenance. When I think

about him, my sadness turns into gladness, my tears and

sorrow into joy. He is the help of my countenance.

Without him, I can't smile. There's nothing like pressure, problem

and pain that keeps our minds stayed on him. Do

you know there's a purpose of problems and purpose for

pressure and pain. Because it's not easier to think about

God when the times are good.

It takes practice.

Very few of us a think about God where we

don't need him. So remember what the Bible says that

Isaiah twenty six Verst. Three, what this is he? You

will keep him in perfect peace Salam shalom. Whose mind

is staying on you because he trusts in you. So

the because he trust in you is another condition. No

just think about him is trust in who God is,

in his love. That means that even if my prayers

no answered, I still believe He is a God who

loves me. Even in my prayers no answer, I still

believe that He is a merciful God. Even if my

you know, the money hasn't come in yet, I believe

that his grace is a faition. Trust in him, trust

in God. That's why the Bible says trust in the

Lord with all your heart. It does say trust the Lord.

Trust in the Lord all your heart. Trusts in his character,

trust in his unfailing love. Because some of you are

your prayer will not be answered in the next three days,

maybe no answer in the last three months. But he

is still come on good in all your ways. Acknowledge

him and he shall direct your path. Finally, trust is surrender.

A lot of us say we trust God, but Heaven's surrendered.

We must learn to surrender. You can surrender without trusting,

but you can't trust without surrendering. How do you surrender

without trusting? Somebody just put a gun to your head.

Put a gun to your head. Of course you surrender it.

You need to trust. You need to trust a guy

who put a gun on your head. Nord, So to

surrender easy, No need trust one, but to trust, you

need to surrender. I want to lead you to surrender

this morning because we say God, I trust you. But

then we have you know a whole book of context

that we can call you know. Can you help me,

Can you help me? Can you help me? Can you

help me, I remember last time, you know, and I was.

I started in ministry, I knew nobody. I knew nobody,

and I trusting Jesus was so easy because all I

had was Him. And then when I went on years

of ministry. You know, I knew this Dato. I knew

this doto three. I knew this time three.

I knew.

I knew people in money who told me, Kenneth, if

you ever have problem, just call us. And I have

been recipient of thousands and thousands and thousands of ringed

to be able to do this ministry. But then the

lawd said to me one day, Kenneth, would you surrender

all to me? And I remember surrendering all to the Lord.

It was painful, painful, but true trust is when you surrender,

said God, I don't want to be in control.
