MAKING PEACE AND REPAIRING BREACHES
Isaiah 58:12: “Thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.”
Men, it is very important for us to be ministers of God’s peace, especially within our own families, as well as those who are close to us. In order to be vessels whom God can use to bring peace to troubled hearts around us, we first of all have to go to all those whom we may have offended (rightly or wrongly), humble ourselves, and seek to put things right.
If we make a practice of doing this, which may have to be repeated over and over until the breakthrough comes, we will discover that God’s healing peace will lift people up out of all heaviness, depressions, and hurts. it will set them free. It will restore the moving of Gods Spirit in both your own life as well as their lives.
In most cases, it is very important to act as quickly as possible so the enemy of our souls does not have time to make matters worse, which he loves to do. The enemy, Satan, is always trying to destroy the unity and peace God provides for all families that belong to Him.
If we do not seek to heal the breaches, genuinely seeking peace, then the enemy will quickly divide and destroy us. It is very easy to stand aside and speak negatively of what we perceive as the wrong doing of others. If we are going to get our tongues involved, we must use them to pray and speak only the things that somehow and in some way minister peace, healing, and restoration.
Sadly, there are so many families that are tearing themselves apart when they could bring peace and unity, if only they would set their hearts to do so.
Be encouraged.
