A people who have been born into war, will resist peace not realizing peace is what they need and long for. They will resist peace, because it feels too vulnerable. One of the healings we will need as humanity as we enter into this kingdom age is a training in peace.

The three fold cord that is not going to be easily broken in our lives is righteousness, peace and joy. It starts with righteousness. Isaiah 32 says, “The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.”

Jesus Christ is righteousness and He has established righteousness on earth, but it has been buried under the trauma of war. The ending of endless wars, is the evidence of righteousness at work. Whether that was is inside of you or outside of you. When war ceases, righteousness gets the credit.

From righteousness we will experience peace. Peace is a person, it is a position, it is a disposition. All the spiritual warfare language will take a back seat, not because we will not deal with the enemies in the atmosphere, but they will not take center stage, for righteousness is ruling and peace is the result of righteousnesses rulership over nations and in our lives.

Then once righteousness exalts the nation, peace is the disposition of the people, we will experience joy unspeakable. This not heaven, this is what is happening on earth. Jesus said in Matthew 6, pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Righteousness, peace and joy are kingdom realities manifesting on earth and in you if you will surrender to them. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
