THE MECHANICS OF PEACE IN THE CHURCH, PART 3
Beloved, we are learning the Mechanics of Peace in the Church.
I’m so excited about this subject because it came from heaven.
We need this so desperately today. We need God to answer so
many prayers we’ve been praying. We need God to visit us
again in the fullness of His Glory, to tear down strongholds in
our lives. Yes, the anointing is present. Yes, we get these
sprinkles. But Beloved, I’ve seen the Glory stronger and
greater. We need the full measure. And if we hunger after it,
then we must learn how to maintain peace in the church, in the
home, in all our relationships.
And today, if we want to see the peace of God reign and the
Glory reign, then we must decide we will no longer walk
according to our own thoughts and according to our own mind
and according to our own opinions, that we will major on the
wisdom of God – the wisdom that comes from above, the
wisdom of the Word of God, the wisdom of the Spirit. The
wisdom, Beloved, not our feelings, not our emotions, not our
opinions, but the wisdom of God. Hallelujah. Glory. Ah, listen
to James chapter 3 verse 17:
James 3:17 (KJV):
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure. Come on,
Beloved. When something is pure, the only thing you can do is
to dirty it. You can’t improve on it. The wisdom of God is
perfect. It’s pure. There’s no selfishness in it. There’s no lust in
it. There’s no covetousness. There’s no trying to get over on
anybody. There’s no domination or control. It’s pure. The
wisdom of God is pure. Oh, may we hunger after your wisdom.
Glory to God.
The Lord spoke to us about that on Sunday. He said, “If you
will cry out for Me, if you will look for Me as you look for
money, you will find Me, you will find the fear of the Lord.” He
said, “Stop butchering it. Read it. Read it. The people need to
hear it.” I’ll read it again to you on this set. Proverbs chapter 2.
These things are so precious, Beloved.
Proverbs 2:1 (KJV):
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
commandments with thee;
You receive it. See? That’s the wisdom of God. But if you major
on your opinion, then there’s strife. But when you hear the
Word of the Lord, regardless of what you think, you receive it.
You receive it. You humble yourself to receive what the Lord is
saying. And hide my commandments with thee. That’s how we
have peace, where the Word of God has authority. Not where
people would say, “Well, I know the Word of God says that,
but...” Then there’s no way we can have peace because then we
are not subject to the Word of God. We’re all a law unto
ourselves. May God give you understanding as I’m teaching.
If thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments
with thee. Why do you need to hide it? Because satan is always
trying to steal it. He will send an offence to steal it. He will send
different things to steal it.
Proverbs 2:2-3 (KJV):
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply
3
thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after
knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge. That’s why the Lord said,
“If you would cry for Me, if you would look for Me...” And liftest
up thy voice for understanding. Ha! When have you ever cried
out for the wisdom of God and cried out for understanding?
When have you, Beloved? You’ve cried out for money, you’ve
cried for relationships, you’ve cried out for a job, you cried out
for school, you cried out for breakthrough and business and all
of this. But when have you cried out for the wisdom of God and
for the knowledge of God?
Proverbs 2:4-5 (KJV):
4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for
5
hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the
Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
You see, Beloved? It says if you would look for her, if you look
for the wisdom of God, for the knowledge of God as you look
for money, as you seek that contract, as you fight for that
relationship, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and
find the knowledge of God. You see?
It said this wisdom is from above. It’s first pure. First pure. You
can’t improve on it. That’s what we need. So once it’s spoken,
all the arguments end. Once it’s spoken, it defeats the
confusion. I was at London Gatwick... Is it London Gatwick or
Heathrow? One of the two. I think it was London Gatwick. And
I saw these two guys arguing, one was a Muslim and one a
Christian. And it was so intense. And the Muslim was quoting
even from the Bible and saying that they read the Bible and all
of this stuff, and challenging the Christian. And I said ok, come
on. And I went to them and I tapped both of them. I said,
“Gentlemen, gentlemen. This is hardly a place for such a
debate. I can actually help you guys settle your differences
rather quickly.” And they were wondering, “Ok. Who is this
guy? Where did he come from?” I said, “Mr. Muslim, you said
that you believe in Jesus?” He said, “Yes.” “And that you read
the Bible?” He said, “Yes.” “You believe the Bible is the Word of
God?” He said, “Yes.” Ok. I said, “Now read this.” I showed him
John 14:6. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No
man cometh unto God, but by Me.” “Do you believe this?” The
Muslim, I asked him, “Do you believe this?” He said, “Oh, no,
no. We don’t read that part. That’s for Christians.” I said, “See?

You’re a liar. You don’t believe in Jesus. You don’t believe in
the Bible. You believe your adulterated version of it. So you
believe in Jesus, but as a prophet.”
He didn’t say, “I’m a prophet.” He said, “I’m the Son of God.”
How can you tell a man who he is? If I told you who you are
based on what I think of you, you’d get angry if I don’t say what
you are. You see? How can you tell a Man that He is a prophet
and not the Son of God when He said He is? And He proved it
by His words, by His works, by His miracles, by His
resurrection from the dead, by all the transformed lives all over
the world.
Who is fooling who? I’m preaching to you ignorant believers
who cannot defend the faith, and any naysayer you here shakes
your so-called faith that doesn’t exist. You need to get to know
the Lord. You need to settle who is God and who is not. They
cannot all be right, Beloved. Somebody has to be wrong.
There’s only one way. It’s Jesus. There’s only one wisdom. It’s
the wisdom of God. Everything else is earthly, fleshly, sensual
and devilish. That’s why we don’t have peace where you are if
that’s how you operate.
Do you have the wisdom of God? Are you operating in the
peace of God? The church must return to this so we can have a
breakthrough on the earth. God bless you. See you tomorrow.
Go to Bible Study tonight. Bye bye.
