Discover His Peace

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 When the Old Testament prophet Isaiah caught a glimpse of the Saviour that would come, he referred to him as the “Prince of Peace.” Isaiah knew that this Saviour would do much more than just give you nice fuzzy warm feelings inside. He had seen what Jesus would bring to this planet. Jesus would bring shalom peace—the potential for complete wholeness. A relationship with Jesus brings peace because it makes God’s presence come alive inside you. It’s not necessarily something you feel immediately, although some say that they …

Descubra Su Paz

Porque nos ha nacido un niño, se nos ha concedido un hijo; la soberanía reposará sobre sus hombros. Y se le darán estos nombres: Consejero admirable, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz. Isaías 9:6 Cuando el profeta Isaías en el Antiguo Testamento vislumbró al Salvador que vendría, se refirió a él como el “Príncipe de la Paz”. Isaías sabía que este Salvador haría mucho más que solo hacerlo sentir mejor internamente. Había visto lo que Jesús traería a este planeta. Jesús traería paz shalom, el potencial para la totalidad completa. Una relación con Jesús trae paz porque hace que la presencia de Dios esté viva dentro de usted. No es necesariamente algo que usted siente de inmediato, aunque algunos dicen que al instante experimentaron …

As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15 (NKJV) In our busy, stress-filled world, peace can seem hard to come by. Our culture has learned to accept worry and anxiety as par for the course. We try to relax, but just when we think we’ve managed to get our minds off it, the stress comes back. What we really need is more peace. When you think of the word peace, you might think of it as a state of mind or a feeling. But when you see the word peace in the Bible, most often it has been translated from the word shalom, which means so much more …

Menos Estres En Esta Navidad

Como está escrito: “¡Qué hermoso es recibir al mensajero que trae buenas nuevas!” Romanos 10:15 (NVI) En nuestro mundo de ocupaciones y lleno de estrés, la paz puede parecer difícil de conseguir. Nuestra cultura ha aprendido a aceptar la preocupación y la ansiedad como una costumbre. Tratamos de relajarnos, pero justo cuando creemos que hemos conseguido alejar nuestra mente del asunto, el estrés vuelve. Lo que realmente necesitamos es más paz. Cuando usted piensa en la palabra paz, podría pensar en ella como un estado de ánimo o un sentimiento. Pero cuando usted ve la palabra paz en la Biblia, la mayoría de las veces ha sido traducida de la palabra shalom, lo cual significa mucho más que nuestra típica definición de paz. Según la …

Key To Reducing Stress

But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with…worldly worries and cares. Luke 21:34 (AMPC) If you’re feeling stressed, the problem may not lie with what’s happening to you. The problem may be how you’re processing what’s happening to you. Think about it: one person might be nervous before public speaking but still get up and deliver a great speech. Another might get physically ill due to nervousness and have to cancel.  It all comes down to what you think and believe about your situation. While having too many things to do definitely can lead to stress, stress doesn’t necessarily come from having too much to do. What Jesus was really saying in today’s …
