When Jesus Steps In

*MEDITATION*

John 20:19 "Then on that same first day of the week, when it was evening, though the disciples were behind closed doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace to you!"AMP

Point to ponder on: When Jesus steps in, He comes with peace the world can't give and puts an end to fear and obscurity.

What are you afraid of? Is fear keeping you away from the lime light? The disciples were afraid and stayed behind closed doors. Locked away from the public and kept in obscurity. This occurred before they received the power of the Holy Spirit. One would think they should be bold having been disciples of Jesus for more than three years but disciples without power can't be bold and confront the terror of the society and that of its authority. Being in Church for so long doesn't equal being full of His power. You need His power to rise above fear keeping you in obscurity. Is there any thing breeding fear in you? Did you see how Jesus stepped in and released peace in the midst of their fears. Whatever you are afraid of Jesus is stepping in for you and His word is still very real now, "Peace to you!" The peace of the Lord will guide your heart and mind through your journey, the peace those who teach the world how to get inner peace can't give, this peace can only be given by Jesus and it passes all understanding. And if you ask me, I will tell you loud and clear, this peace doesn't mean absence of trouble but rest in the midst of trouble. The world can't give it, they don't have it but Jesus says, "Peace to you!" He has come to empower you so that you can be courageous to pursue your dream to fulfilment and be transformed. After Jesus spoke peace into their lives He breathed on them the breath of the Holy Spirit to abide within them, an empowerment within while they waited for the power upon. You need the inner empowerment which comes through the breath of His Spirit.(see John 20:22) Only Jesus can give and you need that fresh breath for renewal and awakening for exploit this year. The Lord will empower you afresh in Jesus name. Jesus stepped in and put an end to the era of obscurity in the lives of the disciples by bringing peace and fresh breath of inner power. That fresh breath, Jesus is releasing into you henceforth to dissolve stronghold of fear and obscurity in your life so that you can fulfill your dream in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
