Yeshua says “ These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” John 16: 33 . If it weren’t for the Lord’s prophetic road-map leading us to see with our hearts His promise to return a second time, we’d never sing or dance.

I will say it again: rejoice! Let everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The Lord is near! Don’t worry about anything; on the contrary , make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with THANKSGIVING. Then God’s shalom , passing ALL UNDERSTANDING , will keep your hearts and minds safe IN UNION WITH THE MESSIAH YESHUA »
