Everyone is searching for peace, but what is peace? It can be defined as freedom from disturbance, quietness, tranquility, calm order or prosperity and harmony or an agreement to end war. As we continue in the fruit of the Spirit today we are going to talk about "Peace" That Subdues. The word subdue is to bring under control by physical force to persuade, overcome, conquer, reduce or tone down or to bring under cultivation. We want to put this fruit the peace that subdues into the perspective of our everyday battles (war) inner and outer. I am reminded that Jesus subdued the sea when He spoke to it and said Peace be still, in some translations it says calm down! (Mark 4:39) In us we have the same authority to speak to whatever is raging in us and around us, we have been given the power to overcome and conquer all circumstances. Peace is now apart of your new character, "the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus the Anointed One." (Phil.4:7 The Voice Bible) Now that you got walk in it! Whatever is tormenting or pressing or ravaging your heart and mind, you have the power to reduce all the lies, tone down all the negative thoughts, cultivate in you a new mind set, persuade yourself that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord and all who have been called according to His purpose, force everything that tries to exalt itself against this knowledge, convey it into captivity that they are subdued by the word of God. That you may experience quietness, calmness, and freedom in the midst of every disturbance. Jesus said in (John 14:27) " I am leaving with you a gift---peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give as a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." Today understand that you have to use the gifts that has been given to you from the Lord. This fruit is not forbidden, eat of it and have a peaceful day.
