In Me
This is Steve and Welcome back to another segment of Press On. This is called "In Me".
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
If you went out shopping for peace where would you go? Where do most people go? The world right? Internet relationships, expensive toys, politically correct sports, Hollywood violence, dysfunctional social media, corruption in politics and world of lock downs and war. Is that where you shop?
We often define peace as the cessation of war or turmoil. As discussed earlier this is not the kind of peace Paul is talking about. However, it could be...one question that you should ask yourself, that effects your state of peace, is “who who you are at war with.” Hear the words of Jesus found in John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
The key words here are “in me” you will have peace.
“In me you will have peace, in this world you will have trouble.”
Jesus is making a clear distinction between where you will find real peace and where you will not. In Christ we find real peace, in the world you find trouble.
Here is an obvious question so why do we keep looking for real peace in a world where all you will find is trouble?
Secondly, are you at war with God?
Jesus and Paul speak of a supernatural peace that results when we are no longer at war with God.
Perhaps for you the beginning of a lasting peace “that state of inner repose and quietness, even (especially) in adverse circumstances” starts when you face God and begin a long over do conversation.
There is much more to this story but for today : Understand that internal peace comes not from the world but from the restoration of your relationship with your creator.
In him there is eternal peace.
What are you waiting for?
Press on, Steve

Red Pill or Blue Pill Part III: Abiding
20:59|Have you noticed how—especially here in the Western world—we crave simplicity and speed?“3 Easy Steps to Lose Weight.”“6 Secrets to a Happy Marriage.”“12 Steps to Financial Freedom.”We’re drawn to whatever promises quick results with minimal discomfort. But when it comes to the Kingdom of God—especially when it comes to seeing with spiritual eyes—it doesn’t work that way. There are no shortcuts. No life hacks. Because spiritual sight doesn’t come through information—it comes through transformation.It’s born in the presence of God. It grows through abiding. And it matures in those who linger with Him when others move on.Today, in Part III of Do You Want the Red Pill or the Blue Pill, Steve shares his personal journey into this kind of sight—not as a formula, but as a relationship. A life lived close to God, where clarity comes not through steps, but through staying.But let me say this—What you’ll hear today is more than reflection.It’s preparation. Because in Part IV, we’ll begin to explore why this kind of vision is so urgently needed. Why Jesus warned us about the Days of Noah...and why only those who truly abide will recognize what’s happening in our time.But for now, let’s begin where all true sight begins:In His presence.
