Be seated. it is so good to have you
00:00:02.892 --> 00:00:04.060
It is so good to have you here this morning.
00:00:04.127 --> 00:00:04.994
Here this morning. you sound good, and ya look
00:00:05.061 --> 00:00:06.262
You sound good, and ya look good, and i know you're

Good, and i know you're feeling good now, amen?
00:00:07.464 --> 00:00:10.667
Feeling good now, amen? it says in matthew 5:9,
00:00:10.733 --> 00:00:12.969
It says in matthew 5:9, this is what jesus said.
00:00:13.036 --> 00:00:14.771
This is what jesus said. he said, "blessed are the
00:00:14.838 --> 00:00:16.606
He said, "blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be
00:00:16.673 --> 00:00:18.942
Peacemakers for they shall be called sons and daughters
00:00:19.008 --> 00:00:21.411
Called sons and daughters of god."
00:00:21.478 --> 00:00:22.712
Of god." it doesn't say, "blessed are
00:00:22.779 --> 00:00:24.180
It doesn't say, "blessed are the people who can control
00:00:24.247 --> 00:00:25.381
The people who can control the situation and make it
00:00:25.448 --> 00:00:26.983
The situation and make it go their way."
00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:28.451
Go their way." it doesn't say, "blessed are
00:00:28.518 --> 00:00:29.686
It doesn't say, "blessed are the ones who are right
00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:31.087
The ones who are right all the time."
00:00:31.154 --> 00:00:32.922
All the time." it says those who are willing
00:00:32.989 --> 00:00:35.458
It says those who are willing to be peacemakers can walk
00:00:35.525 --> 00:00:38.394
To be peacemakers can walk in the blessings of god.
00:00:38.461 --> 00:00:40.363
In the blessings of god. see, that's the key
00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:41.264
See, that's the key right there.
00:00:41.331 --> 00:00:42.465
Right there. what are we willing to do?
00:00:42.532 --> 00:00:45.335
What are we willing to do? see, are we willing to let
00:00:45.401 --> 00:00:47.837
See, are we willing to let other people be right even
00:00:47.904 --> 00:00:50.473
When we know they're wrong,
00:00:50.707 --> 00:00:52.842
When we know they're wrong, for the sake of peace?
00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:55.512
For the sake of peace? see, there's got to be
00:00:55.578 --> 00:00:56.646
See, there's got to be a willingness to make peace
00:00:56.713 --> 00:01:00.216
A willingness to make peace and maintain peace to walk in
00:01:00.283 --> 00:01:03.086
And maintain peace to walk in the place of blessings.
00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:04.954
The place of blessings. one time, joel and i were
00:01:05.021 --> 00:01:06.523
One time, joel and i were at this event, and we didn't
00:01:06.589 --> 00:01:08.525
At this event, and we didn't know everyone at the event,
00:01:08.591 --> 00:01:09.526
Know everyone at the event, but we knew a few people.
00:01:09.592 --> 00:01:11.194
But we knew a few people. and this gentleman came
00:01:11.261 --> 00:01:12.262
And this gentleman came walking up to joel and i,
00:01:12.328 --> 00:01:13.563
Walking up to joel and i, and he began to speak to us.
00:01:13.630 --> 00:01:15.231
And he began to speak to us. and i noticed as the
00:01:15.298 --> 00:01:16.299
And i noticed as the conversation, his passion
00:01:16.366 --> 00:01:19.035
Conversation, his passion became a little more intense,
00:01:19.102 --> 00:01:21.137
Became a little more intense, he began talking more
00:01:21.204 --> 00:01:22.972
He began talking more to joel than myself.
00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:24.707
To joel than myself. and so i was watching this
00:01:24.774 --> 00:01:25.875
And so i was watching this and listening, and he just
00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:26.943
And listening, and he just had a conviction.
00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:28.545
Had a conviction. he had an idea, and he was
00:01:28.611 --> 00:01:30.113
He had an idea, and he was trying to persuade joel to,
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.482
Trying to persuade joel to, you know, believe the same
00:01:32.549 --> 00:01:34.150
You know, believe the same thing that he believed.
00:01:34.217 --> 00:01:35.385
Thing that he believed. and so he's getting
00:01:35.451 --> 00:01:36.286
And so he's getting passionate about this,
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.387
Passionate about this, and, just, he's talking and
00:01:37.453 --> 00:01:38.888
And, just, he's talking and talking, and i look at joel,
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.723
Talking, and i look at joel, and i see this famous smile
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:43.326
And i see this famous smile on his face.
00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:45.395
On his face. and i see this occasional nod
00:01:45.461 --> 00:01:48.031
And i see this occasional nod with his head.
00:01:48.097 --> 00:01:49.899
With his head. and so after the man was
00:01:49.966 --> 00:01:51.034
And so after the man was finished, he walked off,
00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:52.702
Finished, he walked off, and i said to joel, i said,
00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:54.604
And i said to joel, i said, "joel, you don't believe
00:01:54.671 --> 00:01:56.406
"joel, you don't believe what he was saying.
00:01:56.472 --> 00:01:57.473
What he was saying. you don't agree with what
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:58.474
You don't agree with what he was saying."
00:01:58.541 --> 00:01:59.676
He was saying." i said, "i know you don't.
00:01:59.742 --> 00:02:01.177
I said, "i know you don't. why didn't you just kind
00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:02.645
Why didn't you just kind of explain to him what
00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:03.913
Of explain to him what you believed and what
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:05.748
You believed and what you thought?"
00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:07.116
You thought?" and i'll never forget, joel
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:09.285
And i'll never forget, joel looked at me, and he said,
00:02:09.352 --> 00:02:11.154
Looked at me, and he said, "victoria," he said,
00:02:11.221 --> 00:02:12.655
"victoria," he said, "i wasn't put on this earth to
00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.357
"i wasn't put on this earth to straighten everybody out."
00:02:14.424 --> 00:02:17.093
Straighten everybody out." he said, "i would rather hold
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.695
He said, "i would rather hold my peace than prove
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:21.297
My peace than prove him wrong."
00:02:21.364 --> 00:02:23.333
Him wrong." you see, when you allow other
00:02:23.399 --> 00:02:24.701
You see, when you allow other people to be right, it
00:02:24.767 --> 00:02:26.736
People to be right, it doesn't make you wrong.
00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:28.638
Doesn't make you wrong. it makes you a peacemaker.
00:02:28.705 --> 00:02:32.308
It says in romans 12:18, "as
00:02:32.542 --> 00:02:36.980
It says in romans 12:18, "as far as it depends on you,
00:02:37.046 --> 00:02:38.948
Far as it depends on you, live at peace
00:02:39.015 --> 00:02:40.683
Live at peace with everyone."
00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:42.285
With everyone." you see, sometimes you just
00:02:42.352 --> 00:02:43.820
You see, sometimes you just need to put a famous smile on
00:02:43.886 --> 00:02:45.121
Need to put a famous smile on your face and nod your head
00:02:45.188 --> 00:02:47.490
So that you can live at peace
00:02:47.724 --> 00:02:49.525
So that you can live at peace with everyone.
00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:50.827
With everyone. now, it doesn't say that
00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:52.362
Now, it doesn't say that everyone's gonna live at
00:02:52.428 --> 00:02:53.396
Everyone's gonna live at peace with you, but behind
00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:55.898
Peace with you, but behind that smile and behind
00:02:55.965 --> 00:02:57.467
That smile and behind that nod is peace.
00:02:57.533 --> 00:02:59.969
That nod is peace. it's a place that god
00:03:00.036 --> 00:03:01.871
It's a place that god wants us to live.
00:03:01.938 --> 00:03:03.306
Wants us to live. it's a place of wholeness
00:03:03.373 --> 00:03:05.642
It's a place of wholeness where things are together
00:03:05.708 --> 00:03:07.577
Where things are together in our life.
00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:09.112
In our life. see, the blessing of being
00:03:09.178 --> 00:03:11.514
See, the blessing of being a child of god is knowing
00:03:11.581 --> 00:03:14.284
A child of god is knowing that god is fighting
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:15.285
That god is fighting your battles for you.
00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:16.819
Your battles for you. it's knowing you don't have
00:03:16.886 --> 00:03:17.920
It's knowing you don't have to be right to do
00:03:17.987 --> 00:03:19.789
To be right to do what's right.
00:03:19.856 --> 00:03:21.090
What's right. it's knowing that you may not
00:03:21.157 --> 00:03:23.126
It's knowing that you may not be in control of the
00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:23.993
Be in control of the situation, but that god has
00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:26.462
Situation, but that god has ultimate control
00:03:26.529 --> 00:03:28.131
Ultimate control of the situation.
00:03:28.197 --> 00:03:29.899
Of the situation. so often we want
00:03:29.966 --> 00:03:30.900
So often we want to fight back.
00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:32.168
To fight back. we wanna be right because
00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:33.536
We wanna be right because "right" feels good.
00:03:33.603 --> 00:03:36.239
"right" feels good. but can i tell you, "right"
00:03:36.306 --> 00:03:38.041
But can i tell you, "right" is overrated if it steals
00:03:38.107 --> 00:03:40.810
Is overrated if it steals your peace, if it costs
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:43.046
Your peace, if it costs you the blessing.
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:45.214
You the blessing. it's overrated.
00:03:45.281 --> 00:03:47.216
It's overrated. you can be right
00:03:47.283 --> 00:03:48.618
You can be right and be miserable.
00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:50.687
And be miserable. you can be right and have
00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:52.188
You can be right and have strife in your home
00:03:52.255 --> 00:03:54.557
Strife in your home and in your family.
00:03:54.624 --> 00:03:55.758
And in your family. you can be right, and you can
00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:58.428
You can be right, and you can have no friends.
00:03:58.494 --> 00:04:00.763
Have no friends. being right is overrated.
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:03.032
Being right is overrated. now, that doesn't mean that
00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:04.867
Now, that doesn't mean that you have to be a doormat,
00:04:04.934 --> 00:04:07.170
You have to be a doormat, that you have to agree with
00:04:07.236 --> 00:04:09.672
That you have to agree with everything that people say,
00:04:09.739 --> 00:04:11.240
Everything that people say, that you're not allowed an
00:04:11.307 --> 00:04:12.275
That you're not allowed an opinion and to use
00:04:12.342 --> 00:04:13.443
Opinion and to use your own brain.
00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:14.944
Your own brain. that is not what that means.
00:04:15.011 --> 00:04:16.979
That is not what that means. it means that you are
00:04:17.046 --> 00:04:18.948
It means that you are sensitive, and you are aware
00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:22.018
Sensitive, and you are aware when a conversation is going
00:04:22.085 --> 00:04:23.619
When a conversation is going too far, when it's getting
00:04:23.686 --> 00:04:25.755
Too far, when it's getting heated, that you understand
00:04:25.822 --> 00:04:28.324
Heated, that you understand that when things like that
00:04:28.391 --> 00:04:29.659
That when things like that begin to happen, strife is
00:04:29.726 --> 00:04:31.561
Begin to happen, strife is knocking at your door.
00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:33.196
Knocking at your door. see, peace is your guard,
00:04:33.262 --> 00:04:34.630
See, peace is your guard, and it's your guide,
00:04:34.697 --> 00:04:35.798
And it's your guide, and it lets you know that,
00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:36.899
And it lets you know that, "hey, wait a minute.
00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:38.067
"hey, wait a minute. i have complete control
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:39.569
I have complete control over this situation.
00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:41.037
Over this situation. i don't have to keep
00:04:41.104 --> 00:04:41.938
I don't have to keep pushing back.
00:04:42.004 --> 00:04:43.172
Pushing back. i don't have to prove myself.
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.007
I don't have to prove myself. god'll prove it in the end.
00:04:45.074 --> 00:04:47.143
God'll prove it in the end. i don't have to be right.
00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.478
I don't have to be right. i just need to do what's
00:04:48.544 --> 00:04:50.279
I just need to do what's right," and that is "hold on
00:04:50.346 --> 00:04:52.815
Right," and that is "hold on to my blessing of peace."
00:04:52.882 --> 00:04:56.185
To my blessing of peace." you know, peace is a gift.
00:04:56.252 --> 00:04:58.654
You know, peace is a gift. jesus said it like this
00:04:58.721 --> 00:04:59.989
Jesus said it like this to his disciples.
00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:01.257
To his disciples. he said, "peace i give you.
00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:05.294
He said, "peace i give you. i give it to you."
00:05:05.361 --> 00:05:06.662
I give it to you." if you are a believer in
00:05:06.729 --> 00:05:07.930
If you are a believer in jesus christ, you have
00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:10.199
Jesus christ, you have the peace of god he has
00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:12.301
The peace of god he has imparted into your spirit.
00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:15.104
Imparted into your spirit. he's given it to you, but we
00:05:15.171 --> 00:05:17.840
He's given it to you, but we have to continue to maintain
00:05:17.907 --> 00:05:21.811
Have to continue to maintain and develop and hold on
00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:23.780
To that peace.
00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:25.381
To that peace. you see, peace doesn't
00:05:25.448 --> 00:05:26.649
You see, peace doesn't just exist when there's
00:05:26.716 --> 00:05:28.651
Just exist when there's no conflict.
00:05:28.718 --> 00:05:30.386
No conflict. peace shouldn't come and go
00:05:30.453 --> 00:05:32.255
Peace shouldn't come and go according to what's going
00:05:32.321 --> 00:05:33.122
According to what's going on in our life, but peace
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:36.025
Is an inner being.
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.994
Is an inner being. it is something that controls
00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:39.996
It is something that controls us during conflict.
00:05:40.062 --> 00:05:43.499
Us during conflict. it controls us in the storm.
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:46.869
It controls us in the storm. peace is a powerful force
00:05:46.936 --> 00:05:49.305
Peace is a powerful force that causes you to be able to
00:05:49.372 --> 00:05:51.207
That causes you to be able to enter a situation and be able
00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:52.975
Enter a situation and be able to radiate a calm stability
00:05:53.042 --> 00:05:56.746
To radiate a calm stability in tense situations.
00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:59.982
In tense situations. you have control
00:06:00.049 --> 00:06:02.685
You have control because you have peace.
00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:05.755
Because you have peace. peace comes by knowing god,
00:06:05.822 --> 00:06:08.090
Peace comes by knowing god, by reading his word.
00:06:08.157 --> 00:06:09.959
By reading his word. peace comes by meditating.
00:06:10.026 --> 00:06:11.627
Peace comes by meditating. you see, god wants us to
00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:13.296
You see, god wants us to first realize we have this
00:06:13.362 --> 00:06:15.631
First realize we have this peace and continue to develop
00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:18.334
Peace and continue to develop this inner peace.
00:06:18.401 --> 00:06:20.436
This inner peace. right now, there's so much
00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:21.671
Right now, there's so much violence, so much conflict,
00:06:21.737 --> 00:06:24.574
Violence, so much conflict, so much gossip, so much
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:26.843
So much gossip, so much strife going on in our world.
00:06:26.909 --> 00:06:29.245
Strife going on in our world. all you have to do is turn on
00:06:29.312 --> 00:06:30.246
All you have to do is turn on the television, watch some
00:06:30.313 --> 00:06:32.181
Movies, and you will not find
00:06:32.415 --> 00:06:34.617
Movies, and you will not find an example of peace.
00:06:34.684 --> 00:06:37.487
An example of peace. you just won't find it.
00:06:37.553 --> 00:06:39.255
You just won't find it. it's not out there.
00:06:39.322 --> 00:06:40.957
It's not out there. so god is saying, "understand
00:06:41.023 --> 00:06:43.459
So god is saying, "understand that you have to know
00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.427
That you have to know and stay in touch with
00:06:44.494 --> 00:06:46.362
This peace."
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:47.463
This peace." you can't just go out there
00:06:47.530 --> 00:06:48.764
You can't just go out there and forget about peace and
00:06:48.831 --> 00:06:50.600
And forget about peace and just react to situations and
00:06:50.666 --> 00:06:53.035
Just react to situations and just do your own thing.
00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:55.204
Just do your own thing. who wants to live in strife?
00:06:55.271 --> 00:06:57.573
Who wants to live in strife? the bible says that when
00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:58.641
The bible says that when there is strife, there is
00:06:58.708 --> 00:06:59.909
There is strife, there is confusion, and there
00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:01.777
Confusion, and there is every evil work.
00:07:01.844 --> 00:07:04.814
Is every evil work. when you are in strife, you
00:07:04.881 --> 00:07:06.849
When you are in strife, you become a blamer, you become
00:07:06.916 --> 00:07:09.018
Become a blamer, you become someone who is suspicious,
00:07:09.085 --> 00:07:11.087
Someone who is suspicious, you become bitter, you become
00:07:11.153 --> 00:07:13.523
You become bitter, you become everything that's not of god.
00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:16.492
Everything that's not of god. strife just--
00:07:16.559 --> 00:07:17.860
Strife just-- it just goes on and on.
00:07:17.927 --> 00:07:19.462
It just goes on and on. so you can today, if you're
00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:21.030
So you can today, if you're even in strife with somebody,
00:07:21.097 --> 00:07:22.665
Even in strife with somebody, you can say, "i'm gonna draw
00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:24.166
You can say, "i'm gonna draw a line in the sand.
00:07:24.233 --> 00:07:25.801
A line in the sand. strife is not for me anymore.
00:07:25.868 --> 00:07:27.937
I'm gonna be in touch with
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.438
I'm gonna be in touch with this inner peace, this gift
00:07:29.505 --> 00:07:31.474
This inner peace, this gift that jesus gave me.
00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:33.075
That jesus gave me. i'm gonna continue
00:07:33.142 --> 00:07:34.110
I'm gonna continue to develop it.
00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:35.077
To develop it. i'm gonna be a maker and a
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.679
I'm gonna be a maker and a maintainer of peace because i
00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:38.581
Maintainer of peace because i want to walk in the fullness
00:07:38.648 --> 00:07:40.883
Want to walk in the fullness and wholeness
00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:41.851
And wholeness of the blessing of god."
00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:43.619
Of the blessing of god." and can i remind you,
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.054
And can i remind you, when it is hard, when it is
00:07:45.121 --> 00:07:47.323
When it is hard, when it is difficult, you've gotta
00:07:47.390 --> 00:07:48.858
Difficult, you've gotta remember that god has called
00:07:48.925 --> 00:07:50.693
Remember that god has called you his son or daughter.
00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:53.095
You his son or daughter. when you are in peace,
00:07:53.162 --> 00:07:55.031
Maintaining peace,
00:07:55.264 --> 00:07:56.265
Maintaining peace, you are his.
00:07:56.332 --> 00:07:57.800
You are his. i can tell you something,
00:07:57.867 --> 00:07:59.535
I can tell you something, that god is not gonna
00:07:59.602 --> 00:08:00.770
That god is not gonna let you out of his sight.
00:08:00.836 --> 00:08:02.572
Let you out of his sight. he's not gonna let anyone do
00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:03.806
He's not gonna let anyone do anything to you.
00:08:03.873 --> 00:08:05.341
Anything to you. he's not going to curse you
00:08:05.408 --> 00:08:07.643
He's not going to curse you or not bless you.
00:08:07.710 --> 00:08:09.011

Your way because you're his child.

Now, as soon as you get out
00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:14.984
Now, as soon as you get out of peace and start getting in
00:08:15.051 --> 00:08:16.152
Of peace and start getting in there yourself, you've just
00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:18.120
There yourself, you've just got out of the place

Attention on peace, and maybe many of you are thinking
00:08:59.128 --> 00:09:00.029
Many of you are thinking things of areas or situations

Innermost being and to really ask god to give us a peace
00:09:13.609 --> 00:09:16.445
Ask god to give us a peace and get us in tune with that
00:09:16.512 --> 00:09:17.880
And get us in tune with that peace so that we can be the

Peace within us. jesus was in the back
00:09:25.321 --> 00:09:26.389
Jesus was in the back of the boat.
00:09:26.455 --> 00:09:27.423
Of the boat. the disciples were
00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:28.424
The disciples were in a big storm.
00:09:28.491 --> 00:09:29.492
In a big storm. water was splashing over the

They woke up peace. they got jesus on the scene.

And when you feel those winds and waves splashing you in
00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:40.936
And waves splashing you in the face, you need to say,

Kind of looking down, just focused on the wrong things,

Can go to work. remember, even abraham, he
00:16:41.924 --> 00:16:42.991
Remember, even abraham, he was in a difficult place,
00:16:43.058 --> 00:16:44.193
Was in a difficult place, and god said to him
00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:45.260
And god said to him the same thing, in effect.
00:16:45.327 --> 00:16:46.495
The same thing, in effect. he said, "abraham, look up
00:16:46.562 --> 00:16:48.664
He said, "abraham, look up from where you are, for all
00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:50.199
From where you are, for all the land that you can see,
00:16:50.265 --> 00:16:52.234
The land that you can see, i will give it to you."
