” ‘When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.'”

-Luke 10:5-6, NIV

Releasing peace is powerful spiritual warfare.

This something I learned from a sermon I heard from Pastor Jamey VanGelder at The House Church (sermon here,especially on and after 41:30 mark). He drew this teaching from Jesus’ words in Luke 10. It is about the 72 disciples being sent out to minister.

I have been applying these words to a difficult work situation this week. What I have noticed is how the animosity once present is diminishing and the relationship is even warming up. The spiritual atmosphere seems to have changed.

It is truly amazing.

My encouragement to you is to listen to the end of Pastor Jamey’s sermon and think about how his words might apply to your life situations. I know I am thankful for his message.
