Peace Champions

By M.H. Leigh

Peace is not just absence of war and hostility. Peace is presence of treaty and benevolence. Everyone is a champion by self to others. Ordinary people champ in extraordinary accomplishment under supreme authority. Assertive peace is from human knowledge and Godly wisdom. Absolute peace is a gift of God not a work of man. Eternal peace is through God given salvation by grace through faith.
Natural Champions defeat rivalry with discipline and perseverance in carnal peace. Peace Champions in the world overcome adversity with sacrifice and determination under celestial peace. Peace Champions out of the world secure eternity with Godly promise and Heavenly blessing through glorious peace. Peace Champions upon God the Creator put on armor of God with fruit of the Holy Spirit. Peace Champions unto God the Savior resurrect life from death through justification and sanctification of divinity. God Champions of Peace conquer Satanic influence with holiness and sovereignty. God Champions of Peace take on suffering battle field into rejoicing mission field. Peace Champions of Eternity accomplish mortal tranquility and immortal serenity within structural worldliness and with architectural Godliness infinity and beyond.

‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.’
John 14:27 NIV



God is omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. To serve God and others in different ministries of church, school, homeless, prison, hospital, food distribution, and social gathering is to spread Good News of God gracious salvation and God gospel of saving peace. Over three thousands souls accepting God as Savior are recorded in my journal. I am honored to live out as an evangelist.

‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’
John 3:16 NIV

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Living peace required faith, hope, and love by God grace. Searching peace is a step of faith. Seeking peace is a trail of hope. Exercising peace is a footprint of love.

Peace journey is a challenge in faith, hope, and love. Large in faith is more in peace. Vast in hope is greater in peace. Strong in love is major in peace. Every chaotic disorder has harmonious peace. Wrongfully placed peace irritated tranquility. Rightfully planted peace motivated serenity.

Acknowledging peace with the known and the seen from worldly knowledge is having peace within the unknown and the unseen through God sovereign wisdom. Hearing coordinated noise through earthy knowhow is not better off in listening peaceful voice of divine holiness. Acquiring temporary peace through self, from world, upon Satan, and unto others is not much more than anchoring eternal peace under God the Creator promised blessings. Experiencing peace from God, others, self, and animals along with recognizing peace in possession, beauty, fame, and power collectively carried a wide spectrum of peace. Initiating peace with human attitude of merciful kindness together with being resurrected by Godly attribute of gracious goodness jointly brought a full cycle of peace. Placing peace in false certainty is not effective enough than replacing peace in absolute truth.

Worldly peace is conditionally temporary and Godly peace is unconditionally eternal. Earthly peace is immorally compromised and Holy peace is divinely promising. Secular peace is doubtfully speculation and celestial peace is convincingly definition. Human are wonderfully made with different DNA and are wired with all goodness of God. Peace is not a choice but is a gift from God by grace through faith.

The ultimate peace in life concerned upon life and death. The perfect peace concluded unto everlasting life after death. Imperfect life if being forgiven and inevitable death being conquered is good news of eternal peace from God. God the Father begotten Son Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive sins and rose up from the death to give new life. There is no other God on earth among men that man must be saved except God the Creator.

The final challenge of peace is, would humankind bet in the plot of life before death by missing God salvation or chip in the plan of life before and after death by receiving God perfect gift of eternal peace.

God the Savior is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent God. God spoke peace through God creation. God is peacefully faithful, hopeful and loveable. God peace is inspirational, authoritative, and truthful. God purpose is visional and God will is perfecto. God is religiously relational. God peace is undeniably carried unto infinity and beyond.

The unique contribution of this book is in revealing the mysterious peace with general knowledge of men on earth. The uncommon benediction of this book is in unveiling the miraculous peace under special revelation of God on earth as in heaven. The significant concession of this book is in securing the gracious peace through salvation of life before and after death under God.

My prayer is thankful, grateful, and faithful. May our peace grow in hope, in love, and in faith under God. May we pursue peace through God truth, way, and life. May we accept peaceful salvation from God as Savior. May our sin be forgiven and life be saved. May we be justified and be sanctified for God glory. May we live a peaceful life before and after death everlastingly with God. May we be transformed into Peace Champions of God.

‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer

and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

INTRODUCTION

‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you

as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.’

John 14: 27 NIV

Peace might not just be absence of war, conflict, and hostility. Peace would be presence of calmness, tranquility, and serenity. Peace could come from human knowledge. Peace should be from Godly wisdom. Complete peace is a gift of God’s grace not just a work of human effort. Eternal peace is through salvation by grace through faith only.

Yes sin and no peace. Yes peace and no war. No war and no death. No death and yes life. Yes life and yes peace. No peace and no security. No negative and yes positive. Yes love and no hatred. No wickedness and yes righteousness. Yes dreamer and no loser. No self and yes God. Yes God and yes others. No God and no peace. Yes God yes peace. In peace, God gives and human takes. Within peace, God creates and human evolves.

All beings live to die within a perishable season of time. Life being captivated by the complexity of the world interrupted the quantity and quality of peaceful living. People being conformed by the conceptions of existence searched for the perceptions of survival. Any confinement, control, delinquency, betrayal, bondage, hardship, and confusion robbed peace. Any forms of peace in faith, hope, and love under joy, forgiveness, and giving instead of worry, fear, and frustration could enrich peace harmonious calmness. Any genuine peace is given by God the Creator and is mot worked by men.

Everyone has been done with peace. Anyone had peace, has peace, and will have peace. Peace is part of life. Peace journey is part of living. Living in peace is an essential in life and an essence of living. Peace caused bodily, soulful, and spiritual awakening into effective well bringing. Peace is not just an absence of war and conflict. Peace is a state of calmness in benevolence with human decency and rights. True peace demanded gracious holiness and merciful divinity. Real peace commanded courtesy, hospitality, respect, love, goodness and kindness through saving grace. Peace evolved under worldly domination, jurisdiction, and influence looking for relief and deliverance. Holy peace overcame adversity, disaster, misfortune, trouble, affliction, and trial under sovereign power. Hollowed peace conquered death, loneliness, guilt, shame, and turmoil with almighty strength. Godly peace transformed from insecurity to stability and restlessness to serenity through divine wisdom. Heavenly peace transcended peace seekers and peace makers into Peace Champions of God.

Peace exists since the beginning of time. Worldly peace exits in due time.

Earthy peace expires in end course. Godly peace lasts forever as God the Creator originated peace. Peace is in hope with love. Peace is in love with faith. Faith is in peace with grace. Faith, hope, and love in peace trusted and obeyed absolute truth. God is the truth, the way, and the life. God is the Beginning and the End.

‘In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, make me dwell in safety.’

Psalm 4:8 NIV

Peace releases relief. Relief motivates belief. Belief ignites faith. Faith ventures hope. Hope cultivates love. Love implants trust. Trust accounts obedience. Obedience transforms acceptance. Acceptance transcends salvation. Salvation anchors peace. The circle of peace is in completion.

Hope strived peace. Love cultivated peace. Faith anchored peace. Peace seeks mercy and needs grace. Peace surmounted with love from hope in faith. Peace in faith is faith in God. Everything and every being are created by God the Creator. Common peace banked on familiar experience upon tradition, culture, and custom. Homely peace depended unto alliance amongst reliance. Peculiar peace believed in supreme faith in God sovereignty. Worldly peace engaged with people knowhow. Godly peace pleased God and others as self.

Every peace has good and bad past. Any peace has better and worse present. All peace will have best and worst future. The choice of having peace is a discernment between right or wrong and God or Satan. Having in peace is under acceptance between salvation or savage and blessing or cursing. If peace depended upon latitude of knowledge from below instead of longitude of wisdom from above, obtaining in peace and remaining in peace could be a challenge. Humans with restful or restless moments confused peaceful existence. Changing world with wrongs and rights occurrence distracted peaceful presence. Everlasting God with holy and almighty sovereignty restored peaceful wholeness.

All things and beings are made by God. Peaceful resolution is originated from Godly sovereignty. God is perfect in peace. Peace takers and peace givers set free under Godly attribute of promise and blessing. Peace in God under God of Peace is the truth, the way, and the life.

Cessation of peace is, whether peace evolved with expectation or with experience from created revelation, supposedly based upon the absolute truthfulness from almighty sovereignty. Ultimatum in peace is to stay peaceful to God the Creator and others as self.

Some placed peace upon a common proximity. Others resided peace unto an extraordinary origin. Fathom peace on earth expired in due time. Real peace from sovereignty lived life before and after death on earth as in heaven. Absolute peace is in God the Creator. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God. Peaceful believers accepted God as Savior by grace through faith with eternal life.

Aggressors are eventually to be transformed into peacemakers under God . God is a righteous God. Peace from world could be challengeable under adversity, confusion, fear, guilt, shame, anxiety, worry, and greed. Peace under God would be enjoyable with provision, protection, forgiving, giving, mercy, and grace. Gracious salvation from sovereign God is the origin of all peace.

Peace under behavioral attitude of sentiment, prejudgment, favoritism, and hostility consciously convicted remorse unto God. Peace under spiritual attribute of joy, love, goodness, kindness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control subconsciously converted repentance upon God.

Peace under fear, doubt, sorrow, grief, brokenness, sickness, poverty, adversity and death is in the world abomination. Peace over hope, love, faith, righteousness, truth, way, and life is out of the world admonition. Some believe peace by affirmed merit, by ratified virtue, by proven evidence, and by designed resolution. Others affirm peace under promised assurance, under divine blessing, under merciful grace, and under sovereign salvation.

People living nonessential lifestyles emphasized upon power, status, fame, possession, success, and knowledge looked for essential style of living unto peace, joy, love, wisdom, strength, prosperity, and goodness. Assent of peace is in essence of holiness. By having past be forgiving, by hoping present be fruitful, and by securing future be absolute is the beginning of eternal peace under God. Divine peace drove meaningful living and purposeful life. Horizontal version of harmonious living after birth enhanced with vertical vision of serene life before and after death is in God of Peace. Peace of God under God of Peace is the introduction of all gracious blessings. God is the Creator, the Healer, the Originator, and the Savior. God foreknew all peaceful endurance. God forestalled all laws and orders of peace. God foretold all stages of peace. God forecasted all levels of peace. All peace is in God as God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient God.

Divine peace takes forgiveness and understands giving. Hollowed peace compromises difference and agrees treaty. Holy peace restores order and secures tranquility. Moral peace noises division and voices unison. Righteous peace restrains offense and reframes defense. Saintly peace resents enemies and embraces friendship. Grateful peace retains justice and recomposes conciliation. Faithful peace quiets argument and reflects meekness. Thankful peace delivers calmness and sustains confidence.

‘There are different of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.

There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different

kinds of working, but all of them and in everyone is the same God at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by

the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another

miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing

between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,

and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of

one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one,

just as he determines. Just as a body, though one, has many parts,

but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.’

1 Corinthians 12:4-12 NIV

Everchanging world evolutionally with agitating hostility, cultivating anxiety, accumulating stress, and increasing worry battled for survival existence. Ever constant endeavor with agreeable difference, relievable freedom, workable goodness, fixable division, dependable independence, unfailing love, delminishing pride, and integriting righteousness befitted into desired peace. Peaceful mentality involuntarily surrendered and voluntarily submitted to peace. All adversities of turmoil strived for holy redemption of peace. Worldly resolution is taken over by Godly salvation. Studying the essence of peace under common knowledge through worldly media could be interrogative. Seeking the truth of peace with supreme wisdom through holy revelation would be remunerative.

Psychologist, physiologist, scientologist, sociologist, biologist, philologist, and financer explored peaceology. Research, analysis, and experiment of searching peace came out with a reasonable comprehension and a seasonal apprehension of peace. Presence of human knowhow but in absence of Godly enlightenment might be inadequate to express peace. Power of peace could be withheld with limited proficiency. Strength of peace is in sovereign God the Creator. Peace might not be interpreted truthfully and would not be achieved wishfully under the absence of spiritual wisdom. Uncertain peace finds intellectual anticipation without God. True peace rested upon Godly creation not worldly evolution. Genuine peace would be manifested under the purposeful redemption and the willful salvation. God revealed Godly purpose and Godly will through Godly commandments and Godly commissions under Godly covenants. God is the Beginning and the End. God is the Alpha and the Omega of all created things and beings. Peace of God is in God of Peace sealed with Godly promise of blessed salvation. Wise discernments in peace started from fear of God not men. Accepting Godly truth, applying Godly way, and following Godly life is the perfect peace in actions.

Peace in self is substantially significance. Peace of world is momentarily consequential. Peace unto Satan is incongruously inexpedient. Peace upon others is intangibly propositionally positional. Peace in God the Creator is infinitely sovereign. Peace of God in God of Peace had the past to be forgiven, the present to be defined, and the future to be forded. Peace in God allowed God created children to exercise Godly purpose and Godly will with everlasting relationship under almighty God.

Good discretionary platitudes in peace are under the intelligent knowledge of world and divine wisdom of God. There is only God on earth saying that man must be saved. The gracious salvation from God to mankind is in God free gift of eternal peace not by work of men. Peace journey traveled in series attainments with serious commitments. Peace might be a sympathetic empathy of compassion. Peace could be a charmed incentive of conviction. Peace would be pleasant display of goodness. Peace can be a season of tranquility without God. Peace is humanity in humility originated under God the Creator. God given resurrection and salvation to humankind are the final delivery of peace. Falling short attitude of men in peace is redeemed by everlasting attribute of
