" Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication , with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God , which surpasses all undersanding, will guard your hears and minds through Christ jesus." [NKJV}
WHAT HAVE WE JUST READ ???
IS IT NOT THAT A CHRISTIAN OUGHT TO BE ...P R O - ACTIVE ......RATHER THAN R E - ACTIVE ?????
REMEMBER WHAT THE OLD PREACHER SAID.....................
ARMIES DONT ...SKIRT AROUND OBSTACLES......
THEY GET RID OF THEM ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iT IS OBVIOUS....FROM THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE...THAT THE LORD EXPECTS THE CHURCH...THE ARMY OF GOD ON EARTH... THE CHURCH MILITANT....
TO BE P R O ACTIVE ....BY 1. CONTINUING IN PRAYER...AND .REQUESTS...
WITH 2. GIVING THAMKS ...IN ALL CIRCUMSANCES...[1 THESSALONIANS 5:18]
WHICH WILL RELEASE .....3. THE PEACE ONLY THE LORD CAN GIVE ..............IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM...........OF THE ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES THE ENEMY BRINGS INTO OUR LIVES..
THEN.....knowing hHs Peace...we will progress on to the Victory which is ours in Christ jesus.
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
