I don't care what trouble I'm facing, I will not let go of my peace. It's all I've got.A Peace Example
Satan, I'm not going to let you have my peace. You've taken my car. You've taken my house. But I'm not going to let you have my peace, hallelujah!
If I can keep my peace, I'll get another car. If I can keep my peace, I'll get another house. If I can keep my peace, I'm coming out of this trouble. I've got to hold on to my peace. It's all I've got left.
I've got to know that I know that God is able to do what He said. And I will let that anchor my mind. I'll let peace anchor my soul. I don't care how hard it gets; I don't care how hot it gets; I don't care what the trouble is - I'm not going to let go of my peace. As long as I don't let go of my peace, Satan can't steal the Word out of my heart.
Let me tell you a personal experience that shows how keeping yourself in peace overcomes any kind of trouble the devil throws at you.
One day two pastor friends of mine and I went shopping at a mall close to my home. When we got ready to leave, my car would not start. Immediately, one of my friends began praying and binding devils and rebuking demons, but I said, "Brother, my car doesn't have any demons on it. It just won't crank." So he said, "Well, praise the Lord, let's go get some hamburgers and let the Lord take care of this situation."
So we went back into the mall and ate lunch and just refused to let this situation with the car that wouldn't start steal our peace. After all, this was no big deal. We had security in the midst of this trouble. We had three other cars available in the city. All we had to do was call somebody to come pick us up and have my car taken to a garage to be fixed.
We just ate our lunch while we waited for the people I'd called to come get us - and through it all we absolutely refused to let the devil steal our peace. Oh, he tried, but we knew we were walking in the peace of God because we had His Word that said He would take care of our every need even in the midst of trouble. By the time we finished eating, there was another car right outside the door waiting for us.
We changed cars, my car was taken to be repaired and later that same day, when my friends and I got back to my church, my car was sitting there not only fixed, but washed and vacuumed out.
Victory In Godly Peace
It's the peace of God that will keep the devil from stealing your peace. He may throw terrible trouble at you, but he can't hurt you if you refuse to let go of the peace which comes from God's Word through the Holy Spirit. In the midst of the worst trouble you can imagine, you can have victory if you refuse to let go of your peace.
Just say,
No, in the name of Jesus, I'm not going to let go of my peace. I'm not going to let go of my Bible. I won't let go, because my God is greater than this situation. If I can just hold on to my peace, God will settle this thing. If I can just hold on to my peace, God has to bring me out of this trouble. He has to do it because He swore by Himself. I have security in the midst of this turmoil. I have a guarantee. My Jesus said He has given me power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I won't let go of my peace. It's all I've got. By keeping my peace, I keep my Word. And by keeping my Word, I keep my victory. And my victory brings me out of trouble, glory to God!
