The Supernatural Power of Peace
All people contain DNA. Recent studies have revealed that genes
remember the past and to a certain extent can influence the
present. The environment in which we live influences not only the
development of our psyche but also the overall disposition in which
genes play a larger role than previously thought.
In Matthew 5:9, Jesus declared: "Blessed are the peacemakers for
they will be called sons of God." Just as the Word suggests, it is
not the war-makers that are blessed, but the peacemakers.
Whatever we scarcely pay attention to, as being unattractive and
not dramatic enough to grab our attention, God chose to astound the
world.
First Corinthians 1:25 says, "The foolishness of God is wiser
than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
This book deals with the supernatural nature of peace, which
actually heals and restores.
More than ever before, the modern lifestyle robs us of peace; as
a result, people seek an escape from stress. Some find it in
chemical substances; others in time off, relaxation, or meditation.
But there is a peace that surpasses human understanding.
Like walking firebombs, which are bottles filled with petrol
ready to go off, some people go through life without any purpose.
As the title of this book suggests, the bottle must be emptied of
all flammable substances; for only then one will find the
much-sought-after commodity, which is the healing and restoring
power of peace.
The parable in Luke 15:1-7 can be seen from three angles. The
dilemma of the shepherd is whether or not to leave the ninety-nine
and go in search of the one lost sheep. It may not make sense
economically and rationally, but he leaves them anyway and begins
his search.
The poor sheep has wandered away and is lost-not hopelessly so,
but lost. The sheep does have hope, and it rests with the shepherd
whose love for her is so vast and so relentless that he won't rest
until he finds the sheep.
And then there's the ninety-nine. Their attitude and behavior
toward the lost sheep is paramount in the story. Will they join in
the search? Will they celebrate with the shepherd once the sheep is
returned? Or will they criticize and whine about how the shepherd
spends all his time searching for the one who is lost?
The One explores the foundational nature of this parable and how
important its implications are for the church and one's own walk
with the Lord. The value that God places on the one is
life-changing for those who come to understand it.
"An intense and powerful vision shared through the lens of
author Ronny Russell's personal and professional spiritual journey.
Authenticity is found in every paragraph that rings with empowering
truth, inspiration, and encouragement for the one. ... I have
watched Ronny's journey for decades and found his passion to be
deep, contagious, and transformational for the one and the remnant
who seek meaning in our fast-paced world filled with churches that
often miss the one to preserve the institution. Ronny serves Christ
above all and finds hope in God's calling and gifting as a member
of the body of Christ. Truly a worthy and engaging read "
-Edward Hammett, author of Spiritual Leadership in a Secular Age
and Recovering Hope for Your Church
