Grace Notes - Luke 10:5

Luke 10:5 - "And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house."

Christ, in His fullness is united with us in our spirit.  Our bodies are now home to the Holy Spirit and all the fruit of the Spirit. God’s peace dwells within us and is with us independent of our experience or emotions.

Problems, difficulties, tribulations and troubles often besiege us, assailing our minds and bodies.  All the time we should let our spirit dominate our mind and body. As we let the overflow of grace overwhelm us we soak ourselves in the union we have with Christ, we connect with the peace of God that we all ready possess.

Meditating on the goodness of God, focusing on our identity with Christ, reveling in the free grace provided, letting scriptures dominate our memories all these things bring us into a place where we fall into all the provision of God.

None of this is by our works or self-effort but by the overflow of the spirit in our hearts that we respond to. Every moment we tune ourselves into the spirit we find that effortlessly we live out of grace

Andrew Wommack explains that we all ready have the peace of God in us, so we should cast our cares upon God and not carry them:-

Peace is the result of casting our care upon the Lord through prayer and thanksgiving. However, many people are asking God to give them peace so that their cares will leave. It doesn't work that way. Through faith we cast our cares on the Lord, and then God's peace comes. Christians who are lacking God's peace have not taken their cares to the Lord and left them there. All Christians have peace. It is a fruit of the Spirit that is always present in our born-again spirits. Cares will blind us to God's peace. When we eliminate the cares, peace flows.

Being carnally minded doesn't just tend toward death, it is death. Likewise, being spiritually minded doesn't just tend toward life, it is life and peace. A person who says he or she is spiritually minded and yet is experiencing death is deceived. If we would just dominate ourselves with the spiritual truths of God's Word, we would receive only life and peace.

True peace, which comes from God, only comes by grace through faith. No one who seeks to obtain right standing with God by his own effort will ever have God's peace. Human peace is only experienced in the absence of problems. Those who only know human peace don't experience it very often and to a lesser degree. But God's peace is independent of circumstances and infinitely greater in supply than any problem we could ever have. God has given us His supernatural peace to enjoy. What a blessing!
