"Stay Focused! Earthly Distractions Are Defeated With Heavenly Peace"
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
 Kathi Pelton of Eugene, Oregon totally "hits the nail on the head" with this excellent word.
Peace is something we should work to maintain. Paul even encourages us to..."Let the peace of God rule in your hearts..." (Colossians 3:15) and Kathi Pelton drives this point home through writing:
"The absence of peace is the presence of warfare but the presence of peace is the absence of warfare. This is a key for abundant life. These distractions are assignments to steal your peace. This is the battle that the enemy desires to engage you in. You can handle details in peace without engaging in the assignment that creates worry and stress."
We DO need to fight for peace...and REMAIN there! Staying within peace keeps us in place of being able to operate effectively in our authority...it also helps us maintain heavenly PERSPECTIVE. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"Stay Focused! Earthly Distractions Are Defeated With Heavenly Peace"
Recently, I heard the words:
"Tell My people to remain focused on what I have said. The enemy has sent distractions to engage them in battles that will steal time and energy from them."
Stay on Track!
I saw these Earthly distractions, like doorways, that lead to battlegrounds which rob peace, thankfulness, time, energy and create delays in breakthrough. Stay on track! It is vital to remain focused on what the Lord has shown you and ask Him to order your steps.
Though the distractions may seem to demand your attention, move with caution! The enemy desires to engage many of you in battles that the Lord has not assigned to you. You will need to ask the Lord for wisdom regarding your engagement level (as you may have to deal with some details). Wisdom and peace will lead you but you will need to remember that giving yourself over to worry, stress, guilt or engaging in the "assignment" sent against you will steal peace and joy from you.
Live in Peace and Let Peace Lead You!
Walk according to the Spirit and stay focused on what the Spirit of the Lord has spoken to you. Let peace lead you!
"And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one Body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful." Colossians 3:15
Peace and thanksgiving are your weapons of sure victory against these assignments.
Once again I will remind you all of the wisdom that the Lord gave me a number of years ago that caused me to write my book "30 Days to Breakthrough: Peace". He said:
"Warfare cannot exist where peace reigns."
Peace leads you into wisdom, joy, healing, counsel and His love. When peace is stolen, warfare becomes the forefront in your life.
The absence of peace is the presence of warfare but the presence of peace is the absence of warfare. This is a key for abundant life. These distractions are assignments to steal your peace. This is the battle that the enemy desires to engage you in. You can handle details in peace without engaging in the assignment that creates worry and stress.
God still brings "peace on Earth" but peace is found in heavenly places and in Him alone. He gives peace and rest to His beloved ones as they remain in Him.
Here is your key counsel against distractions and warfare:
"Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:5-7 NLT
I pray for His peace to guard my heart and mind every day. Pray, trust and thank Him because this will usher you into peace. Worry and distractions will lead you into warfare. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)
Peace be with you!
