Experiencing God's Peace

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Eph. 1:2).

True peace is God’s gift to those who love and obey Him.

Throughout history mankind has sought peace through military alliances, balances of power, and leagues of nations. Yet lasting peace still remains an elusive dream. Even during times of relative peace, nations struggle with internal strife and crime.

The Bible says that man on his own cannot know peace because he is alienated from its source. But we need not despair. True peace is immediately available from God our Father (the God of peace—Rom. 15:33), and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Prince of Peace—Isa. 9:6). It's a gift of God's grace to those who love and obey Jesus Christ.

The New Testament so clearly teaches the inextricable link between God's grace and peace that “Grace to you and peace” became a common greeting in the early church. Grace is God's great kindness toward those who are undeserving of His favor but who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. It is the fountain and peace is the stream. As recipients of His grace, we have peace with God (Rom. 5:1)—we are reconciled to Him through faith in His Son and we will never experience His wrath. We also have the peace of God (Phil. 4:7)—the Spirit's way of assuring us that God is in control even in the midst of difficult circumstances. That's why Paul calls it the peace that surpasses all comprehension (Phil. 4:7).

The world's peace is relative and fleeting because it is grounded in circumstances. God's peace is absolute and eternal because it is grounded in His grace. Does God's peace reign in your heart, or have you allowed sin or difficult circumstances to diminish your devotion to Christ?

Suggestions for Prayer

Thank God that you have peace with Him through faith in Jesus Christ.

Ask the Spirit to reveal any sin that might be hindering God's peace from ruling in your heart. Be prepared to respond in confession and repentance.

Ask for opportunities to demonstrate God's peace to others today.

For Further Study

Read Philippians 4:6-7.

Why Are You So Busy?

PRAY OVER THIS

“So Joshua answered them, ‘If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.’”

(Joshua 17:15)

PONDER THIS

The reason that many people are not living in victory is that their lives are cluttered. Many believe they don’t have enough time for prayer or Bible study. The reality is, if you don’t have enough time for prayer and Bible study, you’re doing something you ought not do. I don’t know what it is, but I will guarantee you that if you don’t have time to read your Bible and pray, you’re doing something God never assigned you to do. There’s something cluttering your life.

Whatever is cluttering your life may not be overtly harmful, sinful, or wicked, but if it is cluttering your life, you need to get rid of it. There’s enough time to do everything God wants us to do. But this often requires removing the clutter from our lives. Some people are so busy doing good they don’t have time to be godly. We must remember that we never waste time that is spent at Jesus’ feet.

What is cluttering your life right now?

What steps will you take to prioritize time with God and His Word?

PRACTICE THIS

Plan for specific time on your daily schedule to spend with God. Consider what needs to be removed from your life in order to prioritize this time.

Jesus never commanded us to sell off everything we own. He told the rich young man this to illustrate what his heart was really focused on. While I don’t think property ownership should be required to vote, I do see the underlying principle. If you’re not invested in some tangible way in the health and growth of the nation, for the sake of your and your families own prosperity and well-being, then your motives may be contrary to said health and growth. Many people who are allowed to vote are not invested in any tangible way in this nation’s health and growth, and therefore do not have this nation’s best interest at heart. That’s why we’re in the predicament we’re in now.

Privacy threat? Doctor says Minnesota medical board seeks records of patients given Ivermectin

Dr. Scott Jensen, a veteran Minnesota family physician locked in a protracted dispute with state regulators over COVID-19, is raising alarm that the state medical board is now seeking the records of his patients who were prescribed Ivermectin.

Jensen, who has faced five licensing investigations in 17 months, told Just the News the latest request is "crossing a line" and invades the medical privacy of patients.

“If the Board of Medical Practice gets documentation for me … I think there's a lot of folks out there that are concerned that their health privacy would not have been protected, and that indeed they can be identified,” he said in an interview.

Jensen said he believes the inquiries from the board are political, and his constant disputes have spurred him to run as a Republican candidate for Minnesota governor.

“I think what's happening is the Board of Medical Practice has been weaponized for political purposes by people who don't agree with my positions politically,” he said.

“I think people are clamoring to try to make my life miserable professionally, and they're either on a mission of vengeance for themselves because they're frustrated, or they're hoping that by persisting against me, they'll get me to shut up and take my baseball bat and glove and go home.”

The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice did not reply to Just the News’ request to comment.

Jensen first publicized the Ivermectin records request in a video published Christmas Eve on Facebook

Official German Government data suggests the Fully Vaccinated will develop Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome by the end of January 2022

German Government Data for the alleged Omicron variant of Covid-19, suggests that most of the “fully vaccinated” will have full blown Covid-19 vaccine induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) by the end of January 2022, after confirming that the immune systems of the fully vaccinated have already degraded to an average of minus 87%.

The German Government Covid-19 figures are produced by the ‘Robert Koch Institut’ (see here).

Their latest data is available as a downloadable pdf here.

EXPOSED: Meet Klaus Schwab’s 2021 Class of ‘Great Reset’ Soldiers

Klaus Schwab’s Young Global Leaders class of 2021 include the Lieutenant Governor, State of Michigan, a Senior Vice-President at Uber, racist activist Ibram X Kendi and executives at Dow, Pfizer and Merck among many others.

Countries from all over the world are represented in the World Economic Forum’s latest crop of 112 potential globalist leaders. This class join radical left luminaries such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Peter Buttigieg, Emmanuel Macron, Gavin Newsom, Angela Merkel, Jacinda Ardern and many others.

According to their website, the Young Global Leaders consist of “more than 1,400 members and alumni of 120 nationalities”. The individuals are trained to be “[A]ligned with the World Economic Forum’s mission,” to “drive public-private co-operation in the global public interest.” The WEF is known for their annual meeting of elitists at Davos, an alpine resort town in Switzerland.

The World Economic Forum is promoting the dangerous shift of government’s ongoing merger with massive corporations, described as “public-private co-operation”. This “co-operation” is also illustrated in so-called “stakeholder capitalism,” which moves industry from operating on a profit motive. Eventually, such a system would be forced to cave in on itself, but the globalist elitists do not appear too concerned about that.

Anyone can scroll through the list of the Young Global Leader’s class of 2021 by region. Here is the list representing North America:

Daniel Ahn, Global Fellow, The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, USA

Peter Biar Ajak, Visiting Fellow and Adjunct Faculty, Africa Center for Strategic Studies, USA

But the World Economic Forum does not just want to remake the economy, they want to remake humanity.

‘Synthetic Biology’

Synthetic biology is going to remake the world. The tools available to scientists today create the vast potential to do great good or great harm. – Lt Col Marcus A. Cunningham, USAF, Strategic Studies Quarterly, Fall 2020

A part of Schwab’s vision appears to be his insane iteration of “synthetic biology,” which has been described as “designing and constructing biological modules, biological systems, and biological machines or, re‐design of existing biological systems for useful purposes.” In essence, Synthetic Biology is an umbrella term that includes a bizarre fringe obsession with transhumanism, or the “fusion of human beings with technology”.

A shocking November 2020 article posted at LifeSite News features Dr. Miklos Lukacs de Pereny, a Professor of Science, Technology and Innovation at the Universidad de San Martín de Porres in Peru. The professor was quoted as explaining that the Fourth Industrial Revolution “is nothing other than the implementation of transhumanism on a global level.”

Indeed, in this 2016 clip, Schwab states that this “Fourth Industrial Revolution” will “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identities:”

Anyone with T-Mobile?

Just Like Soviet Russia: T-Mobile Is Erasing Links to Gateway Pundit Articles if You Send Them by Text Message

The coordinated attacks on Dr. Malone started months ago, openly funded by the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative via The Atlantic.

Although The Atlantic portrays itself as a hard news magazine, it’s completely funded by special interests and mainly used to publish hit pieces against those who question establishment entities.

With Dr. Malone in the news after his recent banning from Twitter and subsequent appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast, we should take a look at how early the smear campaign started against Dr. Malone and who were some of the players.

To start, we all know that social media companies such as Facebook have been extremely pro-lockdown and pro-vaccine. As I’m sure you’re also aware, the CEO of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg, and he is married to Priscilla Chan.

Together they fund the Chan-Zuckerberg initiative, which bankrolls various ideological and political interests of Zuckerberg and his wife.

That was on display in August as The Atlantic published a hit piece against Dr. Malone titled, Robert Malone: The vaccine scientist spreading vaccine misinformation.

The article was written by Tom Bartlett, a well known smear-for-hire freelance writer who usually writes on topics of education, “woke” politics, and race.

But here, he was funded by the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative via The Atlantic for this hit piece.

In fact, the payments to Bartlett for his attack-services are so overt, The Atlantic’s lawyers made sure the nature of the payments were disclosed in the footnotes of the article. It’s essentially a paid advertisement by Mark Zuckerberg that was so overt, it required a disclaimer to be legal.

But wait, it gets even better.

That same hit piece in The Atlantic was also paid for by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is a “foundation” started by Johnson and Johnson, the pharmaceutical company.

So here you have a vaccine maker openly paying writers to create hit-pieces on experts who happen to oppose their products. Not only this, the writers aren’t even experts in the field of vaccines, just freelance writers who openly take cash to write whatever they’re told.

The article Bartlett wrote after being paid by Zuckerberg and J&J was so clearly a hit-piece, it suggests Malone didn’t actually invent any type of mRNA vaccine technology, but then never elaborates or backs up that suggestion.

From the article (Emphasis ours):

“Robert Malone claims to have invented mRNA technology.”

“Wherever he appears, Malone is billed as the inventor of mRNA vaccines. It’s in his Twitter bio. “I literally invented mRNA technology when I was 28,” says Malone, who is now 61. If that’s true—or, more to the point, if Malone believes it to be true—”

But then nowhere does the article back up these claims or questions about his status as the inventor, instead saying an upcoming Noble Prize announcement will be the determining factor.

It’s all a pure hit-piece, filled with accusations that it never backs up or delivers on, all to simply suggest without evidence that Dr. Malone is a fraud.

He’s one of, if not the only, red pills the normies will take.

>>15295514

N.C.anon here. Currently 64 with expected high of 71 today. Cold front coming so it’s been windy. Supposed to be high’s in the 40’s by Tuesday.

>>15295515

If he bashes him over the vaccines I’ll be on his side.

>>15295524

IKR. “OfficialGerman Government Data“. That will roll right off of the normies just like COVID-19 99.8% overall recovery rate. Idk what it will ultimately take to get people to wake up. So many are just too emotionally invested in the propaganda.

Inland. Graham, NC. Between Greensboro and Durham. Did I just doxx muhself?

>>15295568

Maybe, but the data he’s putting out sure seems legit and based. Plus, all the right people are attacking him and seeking to shut him down. That 3hr interview with Joe Rogan may prove to have a tremendous impact on the masses of normies.

>>15295600

So long as the house is “home”, that’s all that matters.

>>15295603

Ok anon. I don’t have T-Mobile, nor do I know anyone who does, so I had no way to verify this one way or the other.

>>15295614

Time will ultimately tell whether or not Dr. Malone is the real deal. I understand why people would be skeptical as we’ve been repeatedly burned before but, for now, he seemslegit and based.

>>15295626

No worries anon. I didn’t perceive it as you calling me a liar. I genuinely appreciate the feedback (truth).

>>15295654

Is that what I keep hearing outside?!

>>15295685

Or maybe something clicked with him. Does he have an anon-like friend or relative?
