What is peace? It can be defined as the cessation of or freedom from any strife, dissension, or disquieting and/or oppressive thoughts or emotions. There are three types of peace:
1. Peace with others
2. Peace with God
3. Peace within ourselves
How is peace lost? It isn't worn away like strength. It can leave suddenly when something bad comes in like:
1. Bad circumstances
2. Bad news
3. Bad notions (thoughts, imaginations)
Peace with God can leave when we fall into a lifestyle of disobedience. Peace with others can disappear when an offense occurs or is perceived.
How can peace be restored? Peace comes to us by actions born of the Spirit and the Word, NOT prayer. In John 14:27, Jesus told us He was leaving them with His peace. So why are we asking God for peace? Romans 3:17 tells us that peace is a way to walk. God's path is the way of peace.
