Hatred and fear stirred up but we live in peace in the midst

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The events of this world stir up much hatred and fear.  The presidential race in USA is one of those worldly events that seems important to the flesh of man.

But we who are of God must know that God rules, even over the unbelievers.  God is in charge even when things look wild and chaotic.

So why fret ourselves?  If God is in charge don't we come into peace.

Even as they were killing Stephen, he knew God is in charge.

Acts 7 ...  54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him (Stephen) with their teeth. 

55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him:and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
 

Chapter 8
 

1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

The persecution against the church caused them to be scattered abroad throughout the regions where they spoke the Word of God, spreading the gospel.

Romans 8:28 ... 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

"THY will be done ..."


I Tim. 2 ... 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
