Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with u, My peace I give 2 u… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The night before Jesus died, He gave His peace 2 His disciples — “Peace I leave with u, My peace I give 2 u…” This peace was not just 4 His disciples, but also 4 us today. We have His peace.

The moment u believe in Jesus Christ, He who is the Prince of Peace comes 2 live inside u. And when the Prince of Peace resides in u, every blessing that u will ever need pertaining 2 your soundness and wholeness is already inside u.

If this is true, u say,  then why do I still see problems in my health, finances, family and relationships?”  The answer is a troubled heart. That is why after Jesus said, “Peace I leave with u,” He said, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

A troubled and fearful heart works like fingers that clamp down hard on a water hose. The supply of water is flowing from the tap, but little or nothing is coming out at the other end of the hose. God’s ever-present supply of blessings toward u is like the water flowing freely from the tap. But u don’t see the blessings when u allow your heart 2b gripped by worry or fear.

So when fearful, anxious thoughts come, remind yourself of Jesus’ words: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Even when things appear 2 get worse, say, “Lord, I refuse 2 worry about this. In the midst of all this, I see the finished work of Christ. He said, ‘It is finished!’ So my child’s healing is accomplished. My marriage is blessed. My debts are cleared. I will let not my heart be troubled by these things.”

Beloved, I cannot “let not” for u. Your family and friends cannot “let not” for u. Only u can “let not your heart be troubled”. So guard your heart from being troubled. You don’t have 2 guard your career, reputation, children or even health. When u guard your heart, God will guard everything else for u!
