Here is John’s Sunday “Twitter sermon” on peace.  Enjoy.  

 

How will you find peace in a world that’s trying to take you where you don’t want to go?

All around people are fighting to impose their will on your future, often for power or personal gain.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

Their battles are bringing out their worst attributes, all the while trying to drag you into the fray.

They play upon your fears and desires and tweak your emotions, all to goad you into empowering them to feed their bloodlust.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

The combatants don’t care about your peace, only their quest for power and ability to impose what they want upon all.

Yet something inside you craves peace, in you, in your life and world. But fighting their wars isn’t bringing you peace. Just more of the same.

Something inside you knows that you must somehow break the cycle of fighting with reality if you’re to get the experiences you want.

It’s calling you to go your own way, filling you with discontent with yourself, your life and the world around you. Yet no matter how you fight and struggle, you can’t fill that void.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

But you fear to know yourself, for it may lead you somewhere else you cannot know or see that might put you further in conflict with that outer world.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

So you go along to get along, all the while wanting something else, projecting your discontent by adding your energy to their conflicts of will and desire.

But that voice inside won’t give you any peace. It’s always whispering in your ear, telling you there’s more than you know and begging you to find it. Buy still you don’t, choosing to stay and fight and struggle.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

Finding your peace starts with a choice to untether from the battles, the demands, the expectations and judgments you’ve heaped upon yourself believing it’s the only way to have a life that serves you.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

Peace starts with a choice. But you have to keep making that choice, moment by moment, day by day, knowing that it’s already yours if you would just allow yourself to be who you really are free of the facade in which you’ve wrapped yourself.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

So in the heat of battle, try to remember it doesn’t have to be this way. You can have peace in your time. Only you can seek it. But until you do, you will never find it. For those without peace will always find a reason to fight.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

As the world we knew disintegrates and others fight to make it into what they want, know the world of your peace waits inside for you to let it out and reshape your reality. If you’ll let it.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

But to get to a life and world of peace, you may just find you have to let go off some of what you think you want and believe, for they just keep bringing more of the same.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

Peace is the only way to create a life of peace. Don’t carry the seeds of conflict into the future you want to experience. Keep your eye on the prize and do what it takes to choose peace now and in the moments to come.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

Manifest a reality of peace by knowing who you are and what you’re really all about. Then show it in all you are and do. Hold the vibration, and the world that impacts you will begin to change to match it.

— John Dennison (@JohnDennison) October 6, 2019

You are so much more than you know. Finding and showing it starts with making peace with yourself, your life, and your creator. It’s there waiting to be unleashed. The choice is yours. God bless you indeed.
