World Peace

LIBERTY, JUSTICE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE ARE ESTABLISHED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Are you fulfilling your part in establishing world peace? You may think that since you are not a statesman or world leader you don’t have much to do with peace. Yet that is absolutely incorrect.

You personally play an important part in establishing world peace. When you become a center of peace—peaceful with family and friends, peaceful with those at work, and peaceful in all your ways—you become a power for peace in your world.

To have a confused, hostile mind, is to add to the wars of the world. To have confused, angry thoughts and feelings adds to the confusion and hostility on earth. Personal discord and inharmony adds to unrest and instability in the world. How very important you are in establishing global peace!

When you find that center of peace, which is Christ in you, your life will be harmonious and good, and you will be a peaceful presence in the world.

Now may the Lord of peace give you peace at all times in all ways. (II Thessalonians 3:16)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
