Counselors of Peace

Proverbs 12:20

Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy.”

Recently, when praying about what I could do in my city concerning the COVID plot to change the election – the interruption to a booming USA business economy from a germ that can be dismissed by proven, multi-decade, pre-tested, and highly successful and cheap medicine, I was given the scripture above.

Key to the COVID Silver Bullet

Last night, while watching Daystar Christian Network, I heard about the most amazing solution that was given to a Christian frontline doctor who was on a 48 hour shift. He was burdened by wanting to find a cure for his patients in March. Go to www.covidsilverbullet.com. Dr. Richard Bartlett has more than 28 years of experience in medicine, serving his patients as a general practitioner and in emergency care settings. His excellence in general medicine in underserved areas came to the attention of Governor Rick Perry, who appointed Dr. Bartlett to the newly-formed Texas Health Disparities Taskforce.

Remember early on in the first quarter of this year, how governments everywhere, WHO, and CDC with their “pearls of wisdom”, were telling hospitals to wait? If someone was sick, wait till they get worse, then admit them to a hospital. All along there was a proven solution with early treatment. Is it more than interesting how Dr. Fauci, who never practiced frontline medicine or worked in a practice with sick patients, owns stock and patents in big pharmaceutical companies? Why doesn’t Dr. Fauci, drug companies, WHO, and the “left” want a $3 proven cure with little to no side effects? There’s no retained money in offering people a solution at such a low cost. Remember how the President was attacked by taking Malaria medicine (hydroxychloroquine) as a precaution? This particular medicine has been around for 50 years with little to no side effects.

Based on Dr. Richard Bartlett’s experience and recommendation, which you can find on his website (www.covidsilverbullet.com) to share with your doctor, here is some info from that site to help you understand:

·       Inhaled Budesonide

His successful treatment includes using an inhaled corticosteroid called budesonide, used with a nebulizer. Budesonide is a prescription drug that any doctor or nurse practitioner can prescribe for respiratory symptoms.

·       Stops the Spread

Inhaled budesonide used with a nebulizer blocks the inflammatory chemicals released by the virus. Inhaled budesonide targets the lungs and does not affect your immune system or body’s ability to heal, like systemic steroids do.

·       Safe & Tested

Inhaled budesonide is a generic drug that is extremely safe and has been around for over 20 years. It is FDA-approved for asthma and lung inflammation. It is not FDA-approved for COVID, but no drug has been approved yet.

·       COVID Studies

As of July 2020, many institutions and countries are starting to study inhaled budesonide for COVID, including the NIH, France, Spain, Oxford University, and Queensland University of Technology.

·       What to Do

If you test positive for COVID or have symptoms of COVID and do not test positive for the flu, ask your doctor if inhaled budesonide is right for you. Start taking it ASAP. DO NOT stay home and “manage your symptoms”! Early treatment is the key!

All of our lives have been so greatly affected by the “left’s” attempts to derail President Trump at any cost. I was reading this scripture and decided to launch some more local prayer meetings. To decree peace on our streets, schools, city council, police, and firemen.

My purpose was not to concentrate on the negative nor on the first part of the scripture “Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil…”; however, let’s look at it for a brief moment.

Proverbs 12:20-21 (Benson Commentary)

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil — Either, 1st, Deceit toward others, whom they design to deceive, and then to destroy, while good counselors bring safety and joy to others: or, rather, 2d, To themselves. So the sense of the verse is, They whose hearts devise mischief against others, shall be deceived in their hopes, and bring that trouble upon themselves which they design against others: but they who, by good counsels, labor to promote the peace and happiness of others, shall reap the comfort and benefit of it themselves. There shall no evil happen to the just.”

Key to safety and success

Let’s look at other scriptures before and after verse 20, to bring context. You will see a lot of instruction to engage in truth, speaking in wisdom, being faithful; and finally routing out and exposing deceit, injustice, and falsities.

“He who speaks truth [when he testifies] tells what is right, but a false witness utters deceit [in court].18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.19 Truthful lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is [credited] only for a moment.20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy.21 No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.22 Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.23 A shrewd man is reluctant to display his knowledge [until the proper time], but the heart of [over-confident] fools proclaims foolishness.24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.”

Key to Joy

I never realized that rejoicing and joy are coupled together. Maybe you are struggling today. Maybe you don’t feel like rejoicing. Well, the counselors of peace have joy. So rejoice! The precursor to joy is to rejoice. That’s how you stir up the gift within you, like Paul told Timothy in 2 Tim 1:6 (KJV)

 
Romans 12:12 – Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

James 1:2 – My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

Romans 15:13 – Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

Galatians 5:22 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

John 16:24 – Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

1 Peter 1:8 – Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Proverbs 17:22  A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

John 16:22 – And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Romans 14:17 – For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Psalms 16:9 – Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 – Rejoice evermore.

Psalms 118:24 – This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

The first thing to understand is that you are not alone. Jesus is our intercessor. Jesus is interceding for you today, even now; your home, finances, health, relationships are protected by Jesus’ prayer. Do you think that Jesus knows how to pray? Do you think that Jesus can pray the best kind of prayers for you?

Well, here’s the proof:

Romans 8:34   Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

1 Timothy 2:5 – For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Hebrews 7:25– Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

So what’s our responsibility? What are we to do?


Ephesians 6:18 – Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1 Timothy 2:1 – I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;

Hebrews 12:1– Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
James 5:16 – Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (person) availeth much.

Are your prayers real? Do they really exist? What happens to them? Where do they go? Well, here are four scriptures that show that you are not just moving your lips in vain. Your heart is not exposed and doing something foolish. Heaven is actually collecting and recording your prayers and translating them into perfume, a sweet aroma! Imagine all the prayers spoken in different languages around the planet. Holy Spirit then translates them into perfume – a fragrance that lingers sweetly upon the nostrils of God. Your prayers are reminding God in a different way. God doesn’t just hear your prayers, but His nose smells your prayers. Profound!

So, be careful how you pray. Pray diligently with all your heart and soul. Make every word count by taking communion often. By walking with clean hands and a pure heart as much as possible (Proverbs 24:4).

Revelation 5:8 – And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Revelation 8:3 – And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 8:4 – And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

So, in summary:

We are called to expose deceit and corruption by being counselors of peace, tempered by joy. The best way to do this is to live a righteous and exemplary life openly, in business and leisure – always in and through prayer.

Start a prayer meeting in your home or church for your city. Jesus, your High Priest and Intercessor, has given you the keys to the Kingdom (Mathew 16:19). So take the key for your city and start binding deceitfulness and loosing peace and a revival of joy! Amen!
