True peace only comes through true authority

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. (Mark 4:39 NIVUK)

Be strong and courageous

Sometimes being strong means admitting you are weak.

Being courageous means admitting you are scared.

Anytime I'm in a night season or dark period of whatever you want to call it. My faith is wavering, my peace has left me. My soul is downcast . There is but one solution. Admitting that I need Jesus and I need to surrender to him.

With Jesus comes his spirit.

And where the SPIRIT is there is freedom, peace, joy, love unfailing and eternal glory.

I give up, I cry out and admit I need Jesus.
I surrender and all of heaven pours into me, out of the mouth of God comes his Spirit which fills me anew. 

The night season has passed, I wasn't a dictionary example of being strong or courageous. But in the kingdom you lean not on your own understanding, you don't run on your own energy. You are a son or daughter of the king. Your authority comes from him and your strength and courage are made perfect in him.

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. (Job 13:15 NKJV)
