Peace in Our Hearts And To All Men [Tuticorin Conference - Session - 9/11]
This is the Live Broadcasting of Tuticorin Conference - 2015 from 15th January 2015 to 17th January 2015 Theme: God’s Message for this time
Summary
The message emphasizes that true peace comes from being accepted by God, not from worldly circumstances. The speaker draws from John 20:19, noting that when Jesus appeared to the disciples, He first declared, "Peace be with you," because God's peace is available to those who are pleasing to Him. This peace contrasts with the constant conflict and unrest found in the world.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
What is the true meaning of the Christmas angels' message of peace?The angelic proclamation of peace in Luke applies specifically to those with whom God is pleased—those who have come to Jesus and given their lives to Him.
Why did Jesus leave His disciples with peace before the cross?Jesus spoke of His peace right before going to the cross so that we would have peace in Him, knowing we will face tribulation as the end of the age approaches.
What are the key signs of the last days?Jesus warned that the last days would be marked by widespread deception—such as false claims about healing—and that believers would be hated by all nations for His name's sake.
Why does love grow cold in the last days?Because of lawlessness, people's love will grow cold and they may even betray one another, but believers must choose to love Christ and His people above all else.
How should we handle conflicts and avoid speaking evil of one another?James instructs us to humble ourselves before the Lord and stop speaking evil against one another, leaving judgment to God and bringing issues to the elders instead of gossiping.
How do we obey the command to be anxious for nothing?God's word is a word of grace, meaning every command He gives comes with the grace and strength required to obey it, just as a father gives money when sending a child to buy bread.
What should we do when our hearts are in turmoil?When internal turmoil or anger arises, we must learn to keep our mouths shut and wait in silence or prayer until the heart finds rest, rather than speaking out of our agitation.
What does saying 'Amen' to God's promises mean?The word amen means 'so be it'; just as Abraham believed God's promise about his descendants and said amen, we must bring our requests to God with thanksgiving and trust.
Why can we fully submit to God's painful surgeries in our lives?Just as we trust a skilled doctor to perform a painful operation for our ultimate healing because he knows better than we do, we must trust our heavenly Father when He allows difficult trials.
What does it mean to live at peace as much as it depends on us?Romans commands us that as far as it depends on us, we should live at peace with all men, recognizing that while others may refuse peace, we must do our part and leave the rest to God.
Who should take the first step in reconciliation?In conflicts between a husband and wife, or among believers, the person who is more spiritual should always be the one to humble themselves and take the first step toward forgiveness.
Why is harboring unforgiveness like drinking poison?Holding a grudge against someone who has wronged you is like drinking poison; you must choose to forgive others completely, bury the offense, and refuse to dig it back up.
How can the sick receive healing through prayer?The speaker leads a guided prayer for those who are sick, urging them to forgive anyone who has hurt or cheated them and to yield their entire bodies to God for His glory.
