Peace-A Weapon Against Satan

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. - Psalm 23:4a KJV

In the battles of the workplace, your peace is actually a weapon. The workplace creates many opportunities to rob us of our peace. Cash flow concerns, deadlines, relationships - all create stress on us. Your confidence in the God of peace declares that you are not falling for the lies of the devil. You see the first step toward having spiritual authority over the adversary is having peace in spite of our circumstances. When Jesus confronted the devil, he did not confront satan with His emotions or in fear. Knowing that the devil was a liar, He simply refused to be influenced by any voice other than God's. His peace overwhelmed satan; His authority then shattered the lie, which sent demons fleeing.

There is a place of walking with God where you simply fear no evil. David faced a lion, a bear, and a giant. In this Psalm he stood in the "shadow of death" itself, yet he "feared no evil." David's trust was in the Lord. He said, "...for Thou art with me." Because God is with you, every adversity you face will unfold in victory as you maintain your faith in God! David continued, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (Ps. 23:5a). The battle you are in will soon become a meal for you, an experience that will nourish and build you up spiritually. Only God's peace will quell your fleshly reactions in battle. The source of God's peace is God Himself. If fear has been knocking at your door, begin to face that fear with God's peace. It is God's secret weapon to destroy fear

am deeply touched and encouraged by this testimony. brother Christopher Yuan shared his testimony at our church yesterday & today, was so blessed by his words, and awed by God's presence and love, couldn't stop weeping. think God has given me tears anointing :P



Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope"

God's promises are true and good, He is faithful, He knows us and loves us so much! Thank you God!!



Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest anyone should boast.

i was deeply moved by sermon Watchman watchman what is the night? by David Wang, co-author of Still Red on 13 Apr 2008 Isa 21:11-12

Beautiful are the feet of those who carry the gospel of peace..

Take my life and let it be (consecrated, Lord to Thee)


i'm reminded of my return to Christ..
about a year ago when i dedicated my life to follow Jesus..
..only upon receiving the third confirmation of God's calling, during Pastor Michael Ross Watson's sermon on 22 Apr 2008 >>Knowing God's will, now available online

God 1st touched me with a rema bible verse when i was reading the book "Heaven is so real".
God confirmed His calling for me a 2nd time, when the same bible message was recited to me by my 4 yr old niece who didn't even speak nor understand much English then

These 3 confirmations happened within the short span of a week.. God made it very clear to me it was no coincidence.
His Love and presence is amazing and indescribably awesome. I pray for everyone to have a personal encounter with God too.

God's rema verse for me >> John 15:7

i was re-born as a Christian on 21 Mar 2008, Easter Day!

Thank you God
