In this video we continue to study the Beatitudes and the next one is The Peacemakers. In Matthew 5 the Lord reveals the attributes of the blessed in the Beatitudes. My sister, Rosary, received the revelation that the Beatitudes are actually a progression of the soul as it becomes more Christ-like. We will study them with this in mind. We included a portion of one of Rosary’s journal entries:
I adjure you by all that is holy not to allow the enemy to steal your peace. Let your peace and tranquility surround you and keep you. That is why I left you My peace—so it would guard you and keep you from the clutches of the enemy.
—Word given through Rosary Bullard on February 16, 2014
Here is another excerpt of the video transcript which sets the path we follow in this lesson. As the attributes of the Blessed work in us we come to a place that only the peacemakers can attain. I hope you watch the entire video. It is full of spiritual wisdom.
Peace is one of the character traits of the Godhead. It is a fruit of the Spirit. “But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]” (Galatians 5:22-23, AMPC).
We see the origins of the fruit of the Spirit as delineated by the Apostle Paul in the attributes of the “blessed,” which are the results of the out-workings of the Spirit of God on our inner man. The seed of the life-spark of the Kingdom must produce after its own kind. The Seed of Resurrection Life carries the blueprint of the image of Christ and will bring forth the good fruit of the Spirit of God in our lives.
I hope you will use the scriptural references below the video to do your own study. The Spirit will guide you and lead you to the verses that will inspire you to desire further intimacy with HIM.
