What does it mean to be powered by peace? Well, let's start with the definition of peace. What definition of peace? It comes from the word Hebrew word shalom, and in the context. Of shalom, or shalom shalom. It means perfect peace. Peace means that you have a perfect, perfect representation of tranquility in every part of your life. If you're not familiar with tranquility, it means simply put that it's just stillness and relaxation in your mind, in your heart, in every part of your life. Your finances, your family, every part. Powered by peace means— and you want to really listen to this and stick around for this— means that there isn't a part of your life that's not at rest. That's what it means to be powered by peace. Because when you're powered by fear, which is the fuel that the world runs on, the biggest thing you'll see that's different in the kingdom of God is it's built on love. Love is attached to peace, meaning that stillness, tranquility, and all that you are is at total rest at all times. You're not trying to accomplish anything. And I want you to listen to this, so stick around for the rest of this video because it's important to understand when you're at peace, you don't have to struggle to accomplish anything. So let's say, for example, you're a young kid and— let's see what we got there. Hello, Alvin! And let's say you're at perfect peace and you're powered by peace. What does it mean? That means when you go to school that you're not struggling to do well with your grades, that you're at rest with your classmates, that they're not fighting with you. Listen to me, this is really important. Stick around for this. If you're older, let's say you're an adult, What does that mean for perfect peace? It means your finances are at rest. You're being able to pay your bills. Your health is excellent. You're able to operate. Your children, your family, your friends, all forms of relationships are at rest because it's perfect peace. It powers your day. So really listen to me and stick around for this because it's so important. Because whenever you are operating from a position of peace, your mind is always clear, you're always in a state of love. Hey, how's it going? We got the United States here, awesome! We got the country, we got George here and I can't see Saturn because it's during the day and we got someone else. So, what I want you to understand is being powered by peace is you're able to operate in A structure that works from day to day. You don't end the day stressed out.

I cannot see the sun because it's cloudy, brother. Brother Georgie. So, I just want you guys to understand that being powered by peace means that you are able to do the things you want to do without the struggle, without the emotional attachments, without the anxiety of the world, without the fear, without pain or suffering. This is so important. Listen to me because I know This is going to help some people. Whenever you're in perfect peace, it becomes an engine of power. It means that you're able to go do something new. You can embrace change. This is something I think a lot of people struggle with. So listen to me, trust me, listen to the rest of this livestream, because when you're powered by peace, you don't fear change. You don't fear struggle, you don't fear even conflict. Even if, let's say for example, you have someone at school that you don't get along with, maybe you have someone at work you don't get along with, if you're at peace in your heart and in your mind, that struggle doesn't exist. It may exist in their mind, but it doesn't exist in yours. So it's so important. How's it going? Hey, Jamie. And so, um, I just want everyone to understand, so listen to, listen to the rest of this live stream, that you Know that you can operate in tranquility, stillness, and in peace. Because when you do, the people around you are affected in a big and positive way. You're able to receive the things God wants for you in your life. You aren't going out there and toiling and fighting and pursuing The things of this world because you operate from a position of victory. This is so important, so hang around for the rest of this video for this. Most people don't understand that the Christian operates from victory. God has already won the battle. If you want something in your life, more than likely God put it in your heart. He wants you to be at rest. Amen. He wants you to be at peace. So that powered by peace means that you— all you have to do is walk it out. Just like I'm doing right now. Just walk it out. Do your part and do what God wants you to do. Be at rest. Walk out that day. Now, there are some days there's a little bit more work than others, which is perfectly fine. There are different seasons where you do a little bit more work, which is perfectly fine. All right, we got Haley on. I say your name. So the— I just want you guys all to understand, listen to the rest of this video because it's really important. You, when you walk in peace, you're powered by it. You wake up, your mind is fresh. Okay, and so— oh, don't worry, Jamie, at the end of this video you will. And so when you walk in peace What happens is God puts in your heart a strength for tomorrow. If you're not at peace, what happens is you will struggle with the things of this world because you're going to try to strive. You're going to try to accomplish something that you're not graced for. You're not blessed for. And what God wants for you in your life, he sent his son Jesus. To give you peace. He died so that you don't have to. He took the punishment of the cross so you don't have to. And so, and so it's, it's powerful because when you start to understand who God is in your life, how he loves you, how I love you, how he does these things, what it does It allows you to receive tranquility and stillness in your life. If you don't have tranquility and stillness, you're going to be trying to control something in your own strength, in your own intelligence. So listen to me, listen to the rest of this video. So important. Because when you do, do the things that God wants you to do in your life, there's no work. There isn't. There's no true toil. You don't have to search for money. You don't have to chase after money. You don't have to chase the things because those things chase you. That's the thing. Think about it from the perspective of your— let's say you're at school. What do you normally do when you're at school? Well, you're in class, you're attentive to the teacher, you're listening, To the work, you're doing homework, and you take your quizzes. So you have to work for the grades that then become a part of you. But once you go through school, what happens? People recognize, oh, you have a degree. Oh, you graduated high school. Oh, you finished up grade school. So the opportunities in the future chase you because of the things that you have already done. You don't chase jobs. Jobs chase you. That's the essence of being powered by peace. Think about it, even in this economy right now, getting a job is pretty difficult. Unless you live in a city that's hiring, you're not likely to get a job because those remote jobs are disappearing very quickly. The pre-pandemic things have shifted and moved back to the old ways, which even that's going to be temporary. But you don't have to worry about that if you're working for looking for a job, because if you're powered by peace— listen to me, this is so important, listen to the rest of this livestream— what happens is those future jobs that you're looking for, they just come to you. You don't have to look for them, you don't have to chase them, you don't have to seek them out, because those jobs become available to you because it's God that opens those doors. It's God that does the things that allow you to receive all the things that are out there. There is nothing that you have to toil for. There's nothing that you have to stress for. The jobs find you. And that's my testimony. If you understand my entire career in business, which spans decades and decades, I hardly ever had to look for a job. Because I was powered by peace. God took care of those things for me. He showed me how he sent jobs to me. He sent recruiters to me. They said, hey, you have experience because people talk about you. They know your name. That's how it works. Listen, this is how— listen to the rest of this livestream. This is how being powered by peace works. I don't have to struggle and find the things that God's going to hand me. So I apologize, I'm walking upwind here, so it's a little bit more windy. But it's the power that's there, the power that's inside you through the Holy Spirit. What happens is it unlocks those opportunities because I'm just about my Father's business. I'm just doing the things I have to do. I don't chase finances. I don't have to pay my bills because God provides money for them. He's been doing that now for me for many, many, many months, technically years. Because He knows what's best for me. He knows where the provision is. He guides me into those places. And so I don't have to work for them. I don't have to struggle. If you've been watching my, my videos, you've been probably watching these live streams. I've been doing them now since I think February or March. Like, this story hasn't changed. This story has been going on for almost 3, 4 months now. Listen, this is so important for these people that are just striving. It's hard for people to say, I have income, I have health, I have freedom. It is. I know some of you are on this, on this live stream, you're struggling with some form of sickness. Maybe you've been diagnosed with OCD or ADHD, autism, anything. I'm sure it's some alphabet soup that they have said, hey, something's wrong with you. And something needs to be fixed, so they're going to put you on medication. But God says no, because when you're born again in Jesus Christ, what happens is you're new, you're alive, and he breaks those bondages off of you totally. And now you're set free. And I mean, I know so many people that had injuries, issues. Problems their whole life where they're struggling and dealing with all forms of pain and suffering, and God just fixes them in an instant. It's incredible. And so I just want to encourage you now as we kind of wrap up this livestream that God cares for you. God loves you. You can be powered by peace because in those moments of clarity and tranquility You can move forward without stress, without anxiety, without mental illness, without any problems. God will set you totally free. That's what He does. That's what He does for everyone. And you just have to sit in His presence. Ask Him to heal you. Sometimes the healing is miraculous and happens instantly. Sometimes you have to walk it out. Sometimes He'll get people involved. Maybe He'll get a doctor involved. Maybe He'll get a therapist involved. But the Those things happen. And when they happen, God walks you through it hand in hand. He'll be with you every step of the way. And I guarantee you, guarantee you, every single time, He'll deliver you from everything. So I really appreciate everyone joining the livestream. We had a great, great, great audience. Thanks for your questions, and everyone have an amazing afternoon. God bless. God bless.
