 In the midst of these trying days in which we live, God’s Word offers us hope, strength, guidance and the promise that we are surrounded by His Promises, Peace, Protection & Power.  Is that why i was put in a college dorm before lies yanked me out of it!? Psalms 125:2 (NKJV) 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. In the midst of these trying days in which we live, God’s Word offers us hope, strength, guidance and the promise that we are surrounded by His Promises, Peace, Protection & Power. 1. Surrounded By God’s Promises 2 Peter 1:4 (NKJV) 4by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature… We are surrounded God by believing and accepting He’s promises, we receive His presence. We receive cleansing and are filled with the Holy Spirit when we commit our lives totally to God; we are partakers of His divine nature. 1 John 2:25 (NKJV) 25And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. 2. Surrounded By God’s Peace Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Many are searching for peace in our troubled world. In education, psychology, medicine, weapons, and war they find disappointment and frustration. My dorm l;ife was wonderful. i made great friends. Though i found the women VERY fake. There is no real and lasting peace outside of God. When we encounter troubles, tests, and trials, we should rely on the peace of God. This holds us steady through storms of life. John 14:27 (NKJV) 27Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The rehab manager, Marian Hope, who led me to that college, TMC, which lied about my schedule, also led me to Dr. Callahan, who also left my shunt .25" short. Psalms 91:11 - 12 (NKJV) 11For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.  Download this sermon with PRO. Our world is a dangerous place, unsafe by night and by day. Many people move, hoping to find safety from the violence produced by man and nature. When we live in the will of God, we are safe and secure in God’s hands, God surrounds us with His protective care while we do the work He wants us to do. When our life work is finished, God has reserved a home in heaven for us in heaven for us where there is eternal safety. But in the long run, definitely not the short run, i found peace in sermon writing. John 14:1 - 3 (NKJV) 1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2In My Father’s house are many £mansions; if it were not so, £I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4. Surrounded By God’s Power. 1 Peter 1:5 (NKJV) 5who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Nations seek for power to control or destroy other nations. Some individuals want power to dominate other people. This kind of power is satanic and self-defeating. God’s power is greater than Satan’s power. We are kept by God’s power, conquers through Him. Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. The Holy Spirit empowers us for service: to share the message of the Gospel, to help the needy, pray for the sick, comfort the bereaved. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be £witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Conclusion. We are surrounded by God’s promises, peace, protection, and power as we surrender to and walk in His will. The blessings and promise of God that flow in our lives will overflow and touch the lives family, friends and co-workers are all contingent or dependent on our walking and living in right relationship with God. We must maintain a right relationship God at all times. How is Your relationship with God today?
