The Big Idea:
God's peace is one of the greatest gifts we have as believers and it is something unique to those who know Christ. And because of that it is something the devil wants to rob from us and as I bring this message you will see why he wants to do that and why we must fight for God's peace in our lives.

This is especially important in the days we live in that Jesus describes in Luke's gospel.

THE END-TIMES WILL BRING A BATTLE FOR OUR PEACE LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

Hebrews 7:2 − Melchizedek = King of Peace

JESUS RULES AND MINISTERS BY PEACE. (SATAN BY FEAR & CONFUSION)

This is why Satan attacks peace so viciously. He realizes that where peace exists, he cannot rule or minister evil.

WHAT WE MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT PEACE:

It is the promise of Jesus and the birthright of every believer. It is ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO US at any time and in every circumstance.
BUT WE MUST CLAIM IT.
