Inner Being Strength: 2

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith ... Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."  SOURCE: Book of Ephesians chapters 3 and 4 (NIV edition of the Bible by Zondervan, 1984).

POEM:
We want peace, we mean it
We seek peace, we need it
Where is the start, how to begin
Does Scripture lead all to win-win?

I have been seeking, now Christian
I quoted Gita (Sanskrit) with devotion
Today I say the Bible has it all
Even how to forgive, the STEPS, above all

It is easy to say Forgive! Love! change!
If churches do that, they spin in chains
Only the Spirit can teach, See John 14
Through Scripture, slow, prayer and pain

But it is the most rewarding pain
To pray: "Tell me about Jesus" again
The Gospels try, but Jesus sent You
Spirit starts real change, it's TRUE

That is why Paul prayed, as he stayed
In Ephesus, the nation Turkey, of today
May the Spirit help keep your new bonds of Peace
Empower your INNER BEING! (God enjoys THAT praise)

PRAYER: I pray, In Jesus' great Name and through His precious blood, for peace in Ukraine and in Russia, across God's good earth; in humble adoration, LORD in Three Persons, I seek Spirit's guidance to help us understand love, forgiveness, and true peace. In your son's name, for thy Kingdom, in Jesus amen and amein

Victor Matthew 11:30 is a help with worries. If we lay burdens down for Jesus finished work ( Calvary) do NOT pick up your sack of worries again. Yes, u are insightful to know ... The gift of faith can & must grow from the equal mustard seed we got on accepting Jesus as LORD. ThanX Br

I join you, Brother, in prayer for peace and healing. The Power, Holy Spirit, the Comforter, was given us through union with Christ/Jesus -- all we need is already inside of us, at our beck and call...the beck and call being, Devotional Prayer. We must believe, and use that Power of Will. We have This Power. The Devil has only the power we allow him -- we are The Blessed Offspring of God. Excellent write!! Thank you my friend!
