AMBASSADORS OF PEACE
*And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house (Luke 10:5)_*
From our opening scripture above, we see that our Lord Jesus made us ambassadors of peace and told us exactly how to minister peace. He said, “When you enter into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.” He didn’t say to wish it silently or to think it; He said to say it because there’s power in your words. You speak with heaven’s authority.
Then, He said, “…If the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again” (Luke 10:6). That means peace is transferable. When you speak peace, you release divine substance—the very peace of Jesus Christ Himself—into that environment. And if it’s not received, it returns to you, full and intact. Glory to God!
When you pray for nations or cities, the Lord has given us the same pattern. Speak peace to them. Say, “Peace be upon Bulgaria. Peace be upon Nigeria. Peace be upon Ghana. Peace be upon Hungary. Peace be upon Poland. Peace be upon Russia. Peace be upon the United Kingdom. Peace be upon the United States of America.” Speak peace to the nations of the world. Declare it boldly. You’re an oasis of peace in a troubled world.
Remember what the Lord said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Speak as one that has actually been given peace by the Prince of Peace Himself. We’re bearers of His peace that surpasses understanding. And His peace always comes with prosperity, for peace and prosperity are bound together in divine harmony.
Peace also means power over crisis, power over turbulence, and the raging negative circumstances of life. Just as the Master declared peace over the raging tempest when He was sailing with His disciples (Mark 4:39), speak peace over your home, your family, and everything that concerns you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, Thank you for making me an ambassador of peace. I carry the peace of Christ everywhere I go. I speak peace to my nation, to its leaders, and to all people. I declare that peace and prosperity prevail in my home, in my family, and amongst my loved ones, in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
