Peace of God

Peace of God
Philippians 4:1-11

Sermon by Jack Nazary at 16 different churches from 1984-2003

Imagine a life where there is never worry, never upset, never loses his cool, do not get intimidated, always rejoice and are happy, nothing goes wrong. It's possible! The Bible says so!!

"Keep" - to stabilize and keep it level - emotions and mind - to all be born again!

Conditions to be met - result in Peace of God

Read the Word, pray, witness, gives, attendance, love each other...

I. Consistency (4:1) - "Continue steadfast in apostles doctrine"
Vance Havner said, "Most of God's people are so subnormal that if they ever got normal, we think they are abnormal."

"Steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" I Corinthians 15:58 - More than conquerors

Roller Coaster lifestyle - devil and demons mess up our lives by getting us disobedient to the word of God.

II. Unity (4:2) Euodias, Syntyche
"Do good unto all men, especially unto those of household of faith"

III. Service (4:3) Go to work for God - use your spiritual gifts that have been given to you. Romans 10:17 - Faith cometh
God expects us to work, serve, and minister.
Let's get up and go to work as long as we have life!
All men are hungering for God - none that doeth good Romans 3:10-19. We are saved by good pleasure of God's will.

IV. Praise (4:4)
Do it whether you feel like it or not. God is not as interested in our sincerity as our obedience.
The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord.

V. Moderation (4:5)
"The Lord is at hand"
Gentleness, goodness, kindness - what is your home like?

VI. Thanksgiving (4:6)
Difference in giving thanks and being thankful. In everything give thanks, then you'll get thankful.

II Corinthians 3:17 - "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty"
