Dear Friends,
Finding quiet time is difficult in our chaotic world. Quiet time doesn’t often happen by itself. You have to
make quiet time by creating an atmosphere of peace and solitude. Sometimes, one has to get creative in order to do this. With little ones running around, I found the bathroom was the only place I could get “alone time”, and even then, it was often compromised! But, the act of simply making some quiet time with God is time well spent. It’s worth the effort and has a direct impact on your sense of peace and well-being, as well as striking a blow against evil here and in heaven. Talk about a “win/win”! Be blessed dear ones. See you Sunday! Peace, Scott

Receive My Peace. It is My continual gift to you. The best way to receive this gift is to sit quietly in My Presence, trusting Me in every area of your life. Quietness and trust accomplish far more than you can imagine: not only in you, but also on earth and in heaven. When you trust Me in a given area, you release that problem or person into My care.
Spending time alone with Me can be a difficult discipline, because it goes against the activity addiction of this age. You may appear to be doing nothing, but actually you are participating in battles going on within spiritual realms. You are waging war-not with the weapons of the world, but with heavenly weapons, which have divine power to demolish strongholds. Living close to Me is a sure defense against evil.
John 14:27 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Isaiah 30:15 15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.
2 Corinthians 10:4 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
