Isaiah chapter 9 and I'm going to read verse 6 this is not a Christmas message don't worry

verse verse says this for a child will be born to us a son will be given to us and a son will be given to us, and the government will rest on his shoulders.

And his name will be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, eternal father, Prince of Peace.

Let's bow our hearts, I want to pray over this.

Father, I ask Lord you to give us ears to hear minds that can comprehend in hearts that

understand.

Lord, I pray we would not just hear the voice of man tonight, but we hear the voice of God.

Lord, meet every need here. Every need, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Amen. I'm going to speak to you tonight about peace, but before I do I want to show you a verse in 2

Peter chapter 1.

You don't have a Bible?

We're going to bring those up on the overhead up there.

2 Peter, chapter 1. the who already knows everything he's about to instruct them and this is still what he had to say to them.

Get a load of this.

It says, therefore I shall always be ready to remind you of these things even though you already know them and have been established in the truth

which is present with you.

Verse 13 and I consider it right as long as I am in this earthly dwelling to stir you up by

way of reminder. I want to give you a quick disclaimer

tonight. You may not hear very much that's new. Some of the things that you're going to hear

tonight, you've heard maybe all of your life about peace. People have preached this and taught this for years,

but tonight what we're asking God for

is not necessarily new information.
