Impossibly Perfect Peace

Let the substance of perfect peace flow through you

December 21, 2022 • Michael Brennan • Isaiah 26:3

Give

“He will keep him in perfect Peace... whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts You” - Isaiah 26:3

It’s easy to read that and give it a passing ‘yes and amen’ (because we’ve seen or heard it quoted many times before). But it’s actually impossible…unless... “with God nothing is impossible.”

However, God’s impossible rarely manifests to a passing ‘yes and amen.’ Remember how the light bulb needed Edison to get past its impossibility?

Today, the onslaught against you and me of having anything close to ‘peace’ (forget about it being perfect) is overwhelming. In fact, it is downright impossible.

Stop for a moment and just let all the opposite of ‘peace’ in your life slap you in the face right now. It’s not unlike yielding to a tornado. Stay there for a little while.

Now try to ‘peace’ yourself. Make it all go away and just have ‘perfect peace.’ In and of ourselves, it is impossible. And if you should have a moment of success, notice how quickly it fades. BUT GOD... (I’m so very grateful for that, BUT).

The outrageous Power of those Words destroys every single speck of all that ‘impossible.’ And all that it requires of us is to ’stop and open’. Stop ’trying’ to deal with, handle, manage, etc., anything, and use His faith-filled words to open your heart - the place where all the impossible stuff is really affecting you. And let His Words (spoken by you) invade your ‘inner man.”

Is He not “in” us? Like Edison, we have to ‘keep on keeping on’. Notice the word ’stayed.’ It means remaining until His Peace is your entire support system. Life will keep on pulling us into all the ‘impossible stuff.’ In this world you will have afflictions (stuff) but take courage (open your heart) because I HAVE OVERCOME.

His Peace is always perfect, and it frees us from trying to trust and empowers us with His perfect Trust. Finally, notice this: “He will keep him (you).” Our job is to ’stay.’ His job is to flood all our ‘impossible stuff’ with His Perfect Peace. Go for it!

Spirit of Fear

April 12, 2023 • Michael Brennan

“Do you not know?” There is difference between worry, anxiety or fear and the spirit of worry, anxiety, and fear. The former is just part of everyday life. But the spirit of worry, anxiety and fear is whole another, because they are illegal intruders. Their sound these days, this day right now, has become like the perpetual scraping of fingernails on a chalk board. Someone experienced this kind of intimidating, irritating sound 2000 years ago while He was very weak from 40 days of fasting. I can still hear His anything-but-weak answer way back then, “GET BEHIND ME SATAN!” And, if I can hear so can you. Maybe we should grab ahold of that sound and let the One inside of us speak it out of our mouths once again. Not some tired, old, religious quote, but His present, living command coming out of our inner most being. This day. All the time. Beginning right now. GET BEHIND ME spirit of worry, anxiety, and fear… It’s where you belong! “And he went forward full of the power of the (Holy) Spirit” And He left you know who muttering to himself back in the desert. It’s time for those illegal spirits to get behind us. It is time to go forward in the full power of the Spirit.

Substance of Faith

April 5, 2023 • Michael Brennan • Romans 10:17, 1 John 4:15, John 7:37

Do you not know that faith, the Heaven to earth kind, is far more connected to a sound we make than a belief we carry around in our mind? Far too many people spend too much effort trying to conjure up an unshakable belief that will convince heaven to come to earth. But Romans 10:17 tells us, “Faith comes by hearing…” Let’s dissect this statement. First of all, faith ‘comes’ as something to be received, not something conjured up from within yourself. Second, it comes by ‘hearing.’ The beginnings of faith are in a particular sound, not just any sound. It is a NOW sound filled with His ETM (His Eternal, Supernatural, Miraculous Substance) When that ETM sound goes from our outer to our inner hearing, it explodes as an assured ‘knowing’. “The assurance of things not seen.” And, since we know He listens, we know with assurance He will grant our request. (1 Jn.4:15) My point is that ETM faith is only a sound away. It begins not with our great belief, but with just our sound, our voice, our declaration. It then becomes the highway for His ETM substance. Now pause and hear this. Our sound is not from earth TO heaven. Our sound BEGINS in heaven and flows out from heaven to earth. “Out of your inner most being (Heaven in you) will flow (out) rivers of living water” (John 7:37) It’s the sound that changed water to wine, opened blind eyes, calmed storms, and raised the dead. It’s right there, in our inner most being just waiting to come out!!

Patience

March 29, 2023 • Michael Brennan • Psalm 23

Things He will never say to you: · “Can’t you see I’m busy?” · “Yada, yada, yada, how many times do I have to listen to the same ol’, same ol’?” · “Don’t you know I have bigger fish to fry than your small problems?” · “Sometimes I just want to be left alone with my coffee?” · “I’m tired of your ungratefulness. When am I gonna hear a ’thank you’?” · “You think you’ve got problems ..how’d you like My job?” · “Ya think I’ve got nothin’ to do but to be at your beckon call twenty four seven?” · “How about you get a life and stop expecting Me to be your Answer?” · “I’m on vacation next week so don’t try to contact Me?” · “Everybody has past hurts, get over it” · “Stop quoting scripture to Me. I’m the One who wrote, ya know” · “I’m not lifting a finger for you till I see some effort on your part” · “If you do not open the door soon, I’m gonna stop knocking”. · “My patience has limits and your awfully close” · “You want another miracle? Haven’t I done enough already?” · “Hey get over yourself. You’re not that important” · “Heal your dog? Really? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?” · “Just think positive. You don’t need Me” THINGS HE IS ALWAYS SAYING · “I will NEVER leave you or forsake you.” · “You are my beloved son/daughter in whom I am well pleased” (as He is ,so are we) · “Yea, though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil because I am with you.” · “I’ve prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies.” · “Surely, Goodness and Mercy will follow you all the days of your life and you will live in My house forever.” And so, so much more!!!
