God as Peace is Infused into us as we Practice Speaking with the Lord Constantly

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:13

The simplest and most wonderful way for us to enjoy Christ as the peace of God guarding our hearts and be freed from anxiety is to practice speaking with the Lord constantly with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, making our requests known to God, and His peace will guard our heart.

Amen, Lord Jesus, we want to live one spirit with You today by speaking to You all the time! We love You, Lord, and we open to You concerning all the things in our daily living!

It is easy for us to read the Bible and think we know what it means, and then we inwardly agree and that’s it; what we need to do, however, is not just agree with God’s word and pray it back to the Lord.

Even though it may seem that the word of God we are reading does not apply to us or we may not fully apprehend it, we still need to open to the Lord and prayerfully consider the word before Him.

We need to tell Him everything, and especially we need to speak His word back to Him. We need to learn to open to the Lord in all things and concerning all things.

We may have a lot to complain to the Lord, and we may have many requests for Him; we need to simply pour out our heart before Him. It matters to Him concerning us.

May we not bottle up our anxiety and worries but rather, open to the Lord and practice speaking with the Lord in all things and concerning all things.

Even our complaining to God is a pleasant thing before Him, for when we complain to Him, He gains an opening into our being to dispense more of Himself into us.

In this way, as we open to the Lord and speak to Him, God rejoices, because He can cause all things to work together for good so that we may be conformed to the image of His Son.

He wants us to be conformed to the image of Christ, the firstborn Son of God; as we open to Him in prayer, He has a way to dispense Himself into us and conform us to the image of Christ.

We may think that we complain to the Lord and we may not want to upset Him by our complaints, but even our complaints are joy to Him, for as we open and pour out our heart before Him, we unload all that we are and we are more open for His element to be transfused into our being.

May we learn this secret today. May we learn Christ as the secret of being content in all things by speaking with the Lord constantly throughout the day.

We need to have a thorough talk with the Lord and pour our heart with Him, and our intimacy with the Lord will be one step further. Oh Lord,  keep us coming to You throughout the day today!

Practice Speaking with the Lord Constantly and Spontaneously we will Live Christ

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Phil. 4:6

May the Lord have mercy on us and show us that, when we encounter problems in our daily life, what we need is not to seek advice from others but practice speaking with the Lord constantly.

We have a spirit in us, and the Lord as the Spirit is dwelling in our spirit; He is very near to us, and His presence is with us in our spirit. We can talk to Him. We can ask Him about everything.

We don’t even need to pull out our phone to send Him a WhatsApp message or a direct message; He is in our spirit, we can talk to Him face to face.

We can speak with the Lord and confer with Him in everything.

Philippians 4:6 says that in nothing we should be anxious but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, we should let our requests be made known to God.

If we have a problem or a request, we simply need to tell Him. We don’t need to do anything special to contact Him, nor do we need to perform any outward ritual to get into His presence; He is right within us, and we can speak to Him face to face in our spirit.

Hallelujah, we have the entire Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – in us as the Spirit with our spirit, and He is our Paraclete, our Comforter, and our Supporter!

Even when we go for a walk, we can tell Him, Lord, I’m going for a walk; be with me, sustain me, and strengthen me.

As we practice speaking with the Lord constantly, we drink Him. We open our being to Him, we breathe Him in, and we drink Him in.

When anxiety comes, when some anxious thought rises up in our being, we can tell the Lord, Dear Lord, this anxiety is not mine; I give it all to You for You to bear it for me.

In this way, by speaking with Him in all things and concerning all things, He takes away our problems, requests, and anxieties, and He works Himself more into us.

This is the secret to living Christ. It is not impossible to live Christ. It is not beyond our power to live Christ. The secret is to practice speaking with the Lord constantly; then, spontaneously, we will live Christ.

Our daily living will reflect and express the Christ we enjoy and we open to in prayer.

However, we all have to admit that, in so many things and so many times during the day we just live in and by ourselves, as if we have no spirit, as if the Lord as the Spirit is not within us.

We try to solve problems, sort out difficult situations, and achieve something. If we just open to Him and tell Him everything, even have a constant conversation with Him about all things, it will be so easy for us to live Christ.

Those who don’t know this secret consider that to live Christ is a difficult thing; but in reality, if we just practice speaking with the Lord constantly, we will live Christ.

May we all practice speaking with the Lord constantly. We can ask Him, Lord, as the Spirit of reality, to guide us into the reality of speaking with You as our Lord constantly so that we can spontaneously live Christ! Amen!

In everything we can speak to the Lord. We can pray to Him to fellowship with Him, or we can petition Him to make our requests known to Him.

When we pray, we worship Him and fellowship with Him, opening our being to Him. When we make our requests known, we petition Him and tell Him what we need, what our problems are, and what is on our hearts.

When we have problems in our daily life, we do not have to seek advice from others, because we have a spirit in us and the Lord as the Spirit dwelling in our spirit is very near to us...The Lord's Word says, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Phil. 4:6). Hence, if you have some problem, you just need to tell Him. He is right within you, and He is with you face to face...This is to live Christ. Those who do not know this secret consider that to live Christ is a difficult thing. Actually, you just need to practice speaking with the Lord constantly; then spontaneously, you will live Christ. Witness Lee, The Organic Aspect of Gods Salvation, pp. 54-55Our prayer and petition needs to be accompanied by our giving thanks to the Lord.

We need to make our requests known to God; to God denotes a motion toward God. It is in the sense of a living union and communion with God, implying fellowship.

We do all things and practice speaking with the Lord constantly to God, in the fellowship with God.

As we make our requests known to God, we remain in and strengthen our organic union with Him.

We may be ill, and we may want the Lord to make us well; as we open to Him, He may touch us not to directly ask for health but first thank Him that we are not so ill that we can’t minister Christ to the saints.

So we thank the Lord for the health we still have, and we give ourselves to Him so that He may heal us for us to learn to minister Christ more to others.

May we all learn to practice constantly speaking with the Lord in all things and concerning all things so that we may live Christ spontaneously!

Our daily living of Christ will be spontaneous when we practice speaking with the Lord constantly!

Lord Jesus, we love You and we open to You. Thank You for being the Spirit in our spirit. Oh, how wonderful it is that we can come to You as we are, with all our problems, requests, and worries! Amen, Lord, we want to practice speaking with the Lord constantly throughout the day. May we learn to not first go to others for advice or help but first come to You in prayer. Amen, we can ask the Lord anything! Hallelujah, even when we take a walk, we can open to the Lord and invite Him to be with us, keeping our being open to Him! Amen, Lord, keep our being open to You as we speak to You concerning all things. May we in nothing be anxious but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known to God! Yes, Lord, we bring to You all our problems, our requests, and anxieties. We give You our worries, our anxious thoughts, and our difficult situations. We open to You concerning all things. May we practice speaking with the Lord constantly throughout the day so that spontaneously we may live Christ!

The Peace of God is God as Peace being Infused into us through our Fellowship with Him by Prayer

And the peace of God, which surpasses every man's understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:7

As we practice speaking with the Lord constantly, we live Christ spontaneously; even more, the peace of God is infused into us and will guard our hearts (Phil. 4:7).

Christ Himself is the peace of God, which surpasses every man’s understanding (Phil. 4:7; Isa. 9:6; John 14:27; Luke 7:50; Rom. 3:17; 5:1; 8:6; 15:13; 16:20).

He made peace, He is our peace, and He as the God of peace is infused into us as we fellowship with Him by prayer.

The result of us practicing fellowship with God by prayer is that we enjoy the peace of God. Oh, the peace of God is our portion whenever we fellowship with God in prayer!

What is the peace of God? The peace of God is God as peace infused into us through our fellowship with Him by prayer, as the counterpoise to troubles and the antidote to anxiety (see John 16:33).

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

How can we take an antidote to anxiety? Everything and everyone around us can cause us anxiety; what hospital do we need to go to in order to get the antidote to anxiety? Is there such a thing as an antidote to anxiety?

The Bible tells us that the antidote is simply fellowship with God in prayer.

When we practice speaking with the Lord constantly, we will have the antidote to anxiety. Then, spontaneously, we live Christ.

Even more, the peace of God is the counterpoise to trouble. Counterpoise is a force or influence that counteracts another force or influence.

Yes, there are troubles, and they are very strong and real; however, there’s another force in us, something with more influence and power that counteracts the trouble: it is God as peace infused into us.

As we practice speaking with the Lord constantly in the organic union with Him, we live Christ, and the peace of God guards our hearts in Christ Jesus.

The God of peace patrols before our hearts and thoughts in Christ, keeping us calm and tranquil (Isa. 30:15). This is what we need today.

We need not just some peace for today; we need the God of peace to mount patrol and guard our hearts as peace, keeping us in peace.

If we want to live a life free of anxiety, we need to realise that all our circumstances, good or bad, have been assigned to us by God in order to serve us in fulfilling our destiny to gain Christ, live Christ, and magnify Christ (Rom. 8:28-30; Matt. 10:29-31; 2 Cor. 4:15-18).

What a glorious destiny we have! For this glorious destiny, God arranges a particular and specific set of situations and circumstances for each one of us so that we may gain Christ, live Christ, and magnify Christ.

In all things, in all circumstances, and especially in all the problems and troubles we go through, we need to fellowship with God in prayer.

We simply need to speak to Him concerning all things and open our being to Him.

As we remain in the organic union with the Lord by speaking to Him concerning all things, the peace of God will guard our heart and we will live Christ.

There may be some things happening at work, we may lose our job or be cut off from the workforce for a while, or we may simply suffer loss in some way; in all these things, we need to speak to the Lord constantly, having fellowship with God in prayer.

The result of practicing fellowship with God in prayer is that we enjoy the peace of God. The peace of God is actually God as peace (v. 9) infused into us through our fellowship with Him by prayer, as the counterpoise to troubles and the antidote to anxiety (John 16:33). Phil. 4:7 footnote 1 on, peace, Recovery Version Bible.Just tell Him everything. Simply tell the Lord. This is something we need to do not only when we suffer or have problems but in all things and concerning all things.

Speaking to the Lord concerning all things will cause us to see the real value of things, and even the seemingly negative things in our life will work out for good for us, helping us to live Christ and be conformed to His image.

We may think that we have lost a lot of money in a deal that we foolishly entered into, or we may have poor health for a long time; but if we practice speaking with the Lord constantly, even these things will cause us to live Christ and minister Him to others for God’s building.

May we learn this secret today and may we have the God of peace infused into us by our fellowship with Him in prayer.

We have a heavenly Father who cares for us and always supplies us, both spiritually and psychologically and physically.

He assigns many situations, people, and circumstances to us, but He never assigns us anxiety; anxiety is from the devil.

May we learn to open to Him about all things.

If we don’t practice speaking with the Lord constantly, everything and everyone will bother us. But if we fellowship with God in prayer, nothing and no one will bother us.

Lord Jesus, we want to practice speaking to You concerning all things. Amen, Lord, may the peace of God be our portion today as we fellowship with God in prayer. Hallelujah, the peace of God is God as peace infused into us through our fellowship with Him in prayer! Amen, Lord, we come to You throughout the day to open to You, speak to You, and converse with You about all things, all persons, and all situations. Infuse us with Your peace. May the peace of God be the counterpoise to troubles and the antidote to anxiety. Hallelujah, we can have an antidote to anxiety: the peace of God! Praise the Lord, the God of peace patrols before our hearts and thoughts in Christ to keep us calm and tranquil! Amen, Lord, may we realise that all our circumstances, whether good or bad, have been assigned to us by God in order to serve us in fulfilling our destiny! Praise the Lord, our destiny is to gain Christ, live Christ, and magnify Christ!

In Philippians 4:6 Paul speaks of prayer, petition, and thanksgiving. Prayer is general and includes the essence of worship and fellowship; petition is special and is related to particular needs…Daily we need to have a time to contact the Lord, to have fellowship with Him, and to worship Him. During the course of our fellowship, we may have particular requests. Thus, we not only pray in a general way but make petitions to the Lord in a particular way. Both our prayer and petition should be accompanied by thanksgiving to the Lord. Recently, I once again learned the lesson of being thankful to the Lord. When I asked the Lord to restore my health, I was rebuked by Him for not thanking Him for the measure of health I still had. Whenever we are ill, we need to say, “Lord, I thank You that I am still healthy to a certain degree. Lord, I am ill, but I am not so ill that I cannot minister Christ to the saints. But, Lord, You know that I am not altogether healthy. Therefore, I ask You to improve my health and make me fully healthy again.” We all need to learn to petition the Lord in this way.

Dear brother, the secret for us to spontaneously live Christ is to practice speaking with Him constantly.

As we fellowship with God in prayer concerning all things in our daily life, the God of peace infuses Himself into us to be our peace and we simply live Christ.

Hallelujah, the antidote to anxiety is the peace of God, and we have this peace by our fellowship with Him in prayer!

Oh Lord, we want to practice conversing with You in all things and concerning all things. We let our requests be known to God by prayer and petition with thanksgiving so that we may enjoy the peace of God guarding our heart and we may spontaneously live Christ. Amen, Lord, may this be our reality in our experience today!

Daily we need to have a time to contact the Lord, to have fellowship with Him, and to worship Him. During the course of our fellowship, we may have particular requests. Thus, we not only pray in a general way but make petitions to the Lord in a particular way. Both our prayer and petition should be accompanied by thanksgiving to the Lord.

Instead of being anxious, in everything, the many different things both great and small, both positive and negative, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, we should make our requests known to God in a living contact, union, communion, and fellowship with God.

Then the peace of God which is God as peace patrols, or stands guard, before our hearts and thoughts in Christ. 

If we would have a life free of anxiety, we need to realise that all our circumstances, good or bad, have been assigned to us by God. We need to have the realisation with full assurance that our circumstances come from God’s assignment. Then we will be able to worship the Lord for His arrangement. 

Ameeeen!!!!

Ameen!!! Living contact with You through fellowship and prayer, conversing and petitioning with thanksgiving.

Amen Lord Jesus, may this be our reality.

The peace of God saves us from worry and anxiety. We need to realise, no matter are circumstances, good or bad, they have been assigned by God.

We just need to contact Him daily in prayer, petition and thanksgiving, even when we don’t have specific needs, to fellowship with Him.

Lord may we spontaneously live You and enjoy Your peace today

May this hymn supply us and enlighten us to give all praise and glory to Christ, who is all-inclusive and all-sufficient in all. 

1. In nothing be anxious, but in everything,
By prayer and petition with thanksgiving,
Let your requests be made known to God;
And the peace of God,
Which surpasses every man’s understanding,
Will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
 
And the peace of God is God as peace
Infused into you and me,
Through our fellowship with Him by prayer;
As the counterpoise to troubles,
And the antidote to anxiety,
Mounting guard over us,
Saving us from all our cares.

2. In all situations, every frustration,
All your anxiety comes from Satan,
To disturb your life of living Christ.
Just stay in the union, living communion,
One with Christ; give everything to Him.
Peace of God through our life of living Christ.

May we practice fellowship with God in prayer to enjoy the peace of God. Then, the peace of God will guard our hearts, free from anxiety.

All our circumstances have been arranged by God, good or bad, this is so that we would gain Christ, live Christ, and magnify Christ.

Dear brother, if we are to live a peaceful and tranquil life we need to pray and petition the Lord concerning everything so that in making our requests to Him – while still being thankful in whatever circumstances, we enjoy fellowship with God in union and communion with Him.

As we do this we are infused with Him as the God of peace.

In this way we live Christ, learning tell Him everything while realising all situations, good or bad, are according to His sovereignty.

Lord keep us in constant fellowship with You today that we may experience You as our life and everything for Your expression.
