As I was reading from Dennis Kinlaw's writings this morning, I was wonderfully reminded that because Jesus is my Prince of Peace, it profoundly means that the war within my heart is simply over. Yes, temptation still comes, but if I am totally surrendered to King Jesus and His government within, while the evil enemy still rages on the outside, The Prince of Peace reigns on the inside.
Isaiah 9:6-7a from The Living Bible Paraphrase delightfully declares: (6) For unto us a Child is born; unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. These will be His royal titles: "Wonderful," "Counselor," "The Mighty God," "The Everlasting Father," "The Prince of Peace." (7) His ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end.
Luke 17:21b (TLB) -- For the Kingdom of God is within you.
Colossians 1:27b (NIV) -- Christ in you, the Hope of glory!
ALL... JOY TO YOUR WORLD!

What goes on outside can't come inside when our hearts are filled with His peace. You got it brother, we have a King and there is always Peace in His House.
