Peace

Webster’s defines peace as: Freedom from disagreements or quarrels; harmony; undisturbed state of mind; absence of mental conflict; serenity; calm; quiet; tranquility.

Chastise means to punish. Jesus died for our sins; was punished for our peace; and by His stripes we are healed. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5

How’s your peace of mind and mental state? Do you fret and worry, toss and turn at night? Are you calm, serene, tranquil? You should be Jesus made provision for your peace of mind.

Fearful Christians are an abomination to the Lord, it’s insulting to Him. They are saying to the Lord, “I can’t trust you”. He has promised to provide your needs and never to leave you, do you not believe Him?

Read Revelation 21:8 to see how God feels about the fearful and look at the company you’re keeping; “But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.”

We claim salvation through His death and blood; peace and mental health through His chastisement; and physical healing through his stripes…..they’re free gifts, paid up, waiting for you to claim them.

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4: 6-7
