“On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the
disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” John 20:19-21 (ESV)
At the Time of John 20, King Jesus had already been crucified and conquered Death, Hell and the Grave and had been RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD! Hallelujah! EVERYTHING that we will ever need was PAID FOR, for us and will forever have been done! Again, Hallelujah!
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.” Isaiah 53:5 (AMPC)
Isaiah 53:5 happened to Jesus from The Garden of Gethsemane, to downtown Jerusalem, to the unlawful trials, beatings, stripes opening His back parts, all the way to Calvary and put on a cross to suffer terribly and die FOR US!
Jesus appears to the Disciples and His First Words and REPEATING the same First Words was, “Peace be with you.” Yet, Jesus was speaking Hebrew, so Jesus would have Said, “Shalom be with you.” Let’s look at what Shalom means and means to us.
John 20:19-21 was the first appearance by Jesus to all His Disciples at one time. Jesus HAD
FULLY PAID FOR “PEACE.” “ . . . the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him,” So, when Jesus SPOKE and RELEASED THE PAID IN FULL, SHALOM TO HIS DISCIPLES THAT DAY . . . He gave them and us NOW THE SHALOM OF GOD! SHALOM would FOREVER be a part of the Inheritance of The Children Of God when it was released that day by Jesus!
“Peace (Shalom) be with you.” . . . “Peace (Shalom) be with you.”
“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. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]” John 14:27 (AMPC)
“BEQUEATH” means to give or leave by a Will. After the person leaving something to someone dies, what was BEQUEATHED will go to others, after his or her death. Jesus was telling and speaking His and Father’s WILL that day in John 14:27 and that Beautiful Day that Jesus appears to ALL of His Disciples (except Thomas) HE SPOKE and RELEASED HIS SHALOM TO THEM and then SPOKE IT AGAIN as a WITNESS.
“ . . . the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being (Shalom) for us was upon Him,” Isaiah 53:5
SHALOM WAS PAID FOR BY JESUS AND GIVEN TO US ALL
IN THE FAMILY OF GOD FOREVER!

The first Disciples that were with Jesus would have witnessed Jesus staying in SHALOM, PEACE in many situations like when Religious and Legal Leaders were trying to trap Him in many circumstances. They witnessed Jesus dealing with crowds who would push on Him and demand His time, energy and privacy. Jesus was challenged publicly several times and even His own family members at one point in His Ministry thought He was crazy for they said in Mark 3:21 (NLT), “When His family heard what was happening, they tried to take Him away, “He’s out of His mind,” they said.” Jesus also endured others He loved in His own Hometown turn on Him! (Mark 6:1-6). He was accused of being demon possessed. (Mark 3:22-30) The first Disciples themselves would be arguing amongst each other about various matters yet they always seen The Master stay in SHALOM, PEACE.
So, when looking at John 14:27 it clearly tells us that we possess Jesus’ SHALOM, Peace that HE walked and lived in. If we are Born Again and surrendered to The Lord, why aren’t we staying in a constant state of and PLACE of SHALOM, PEACE? Well, the answer is also in John 14:27, “ . . . Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]”
If we are out of our Place of SHALOM, then it is of our own doing. And when we allow ourselves to do what John 14:27 is addressing, WE GET OUT OF the Place of PEACE and we are the only ones who can do that. Another person or situation or thing CANNOT make us leave the Place of SHALOM, PEACE; only WE can do that. It’s our responsibility and only ours.
What Is Shalom?

Really PAUSE And Think On EACH Of These Words. Shalom Is A PLACE Of WHOLENESS, Completeness, Healthy, Our Good Welfare, Tranquility, REST, Prosperity, Perfectness, WELLNESS, To pay – means for pay to come, Salvation, HEALING, Deliverance, Freedom, RESTORE, PROTECTION, Liberty, Preservation, Safety, Nothing Missing and Nothing Broken.
We Must Think on Shalom. We Must Renew Our Minds To Truly What All The Translators Of All The Bible Translations Have Chosen As The Word, “PEACE” For Us All To Read. Which Shalom means Peace. Of Course! Yet it is A PLACE OF SHALOM in pure Hebrew. We must renew our minds to Shalom.
Protection and Safety and Preservation, Wellness, Healing and Wholeness, Prosperity and Nothing Missing and Rest and Restore and Wholeness . . . It's ALL IN SHALOM!
YOU AND I MUST TRUST THE LORD AND HIS WORD!
“You keep him in perfect peace (Shalom) whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isa. 26:3-4 (ESV)
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
YOU AND I MUST CONTROL OUR THOUGHTS
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 (NLT)
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
The Shalom Secret

In John 14:27 (AMPC) we have seen that we are in control of when we allow ourselves to get out of
SHALOM, Peace. Also, we must see that COURAGE and STRENGTH COMES FROM SHALOM! And with us living in these Last Days, we need More Courage and More Strength than ever before!
“Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]” John 14:27 (AMP)
So, how do we MAINTAIN PEACE? The answer is in Isaiah 26:3-4. Let’s look at it again, Beloved of God!
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)
Are you beginning to see with me the “operational procedure” on HOW TO STAY IN SHALOM? We must keep our minds on The Lord and His Word! Whatever, life and the enemy throws at us, we have got to train ourselves to respond, answer and react BY THINKING WHAT THE WORD SAYS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. When things occur that are against us, against Truth or an attack of the enemy or anything that is against The Word, we respond by what God says about it.
We RESIST THE ENEMY BY FIRST SUBMITTING TO GOD!
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 (KJV)
And by submitting to God and keeping our “mind stayed on” The Word of God WE ARE STAYING IN PEACE . . . BECAUSE WE TRUST HIM! Look at Isaiah 26:3-4 again,
You keep him in perfect peace (SHALOM) whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)
OUR PROTECTION IS TIED TO THIS!
Let’s look at Isaiah 26:3-4 from other Translations, The Message Translation and God’s Word Translation.
“People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, Steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don’t quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.” (MSG)
“With perfect peace (Shalom) you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you. 4 Trust the Lord always, because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock.” (GW)
We’re Seeing That If We Are in The Place Of SHALOM, PEACE, We Must Be TRUSTING GOD!
And With Perfect Shalom (Peace) We Have PROTECTION!
It’s Literally called “The Secret Place”
There is a Place that The Bible calls “A SECRET.” IT’S LITERALLY CALLED “THE SECRET PLACE!” And in this Place of God is a “Mystery” or “Secret” of The Kingdom of God that provides PROTECTION for The Children of God! Let’s look at this together!

We all know Psalm 91 is a Chapter in The Word of God that speaks of great destruction, yet great PROTECTION. There is a SECRET IN HERE . . . DON’T MISS THIS! Read Psalm 91 “Through the Eyes” of now knowing that the Place of Shalom Has our Protection in it! Remember . . . Shalom Is A PLACE Of WHOLENESS, Completeness, Healthy, Our Good Welfare, Tranquility, REST, Prosperity, Perfectness, WELLNESS, To pay – means for pay to come, Salvation, HEALING, Deliverance, Freedom, RESTORE, PROTECTION, Liberty, Preservation, Safety, Nothing Missing and Nothing Broken.
Psalm 91 (AMPC), “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! 3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.” 4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
Psalm 91 is PACKED with Truth about what we all in The Body of Christ want and that is . . . PROTECTION! Our Generation, unlike those before, can see on our televisions or devices horrendous destruction, riots, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, mass killings in public places, bombs detonating on innocent people and people being harmed or killed in the hundreds and even thousands. Psalm 91 addresses this Time that we live in, doesn’t it?
YET, we can be in THE PLACE where we are the spectators when these things happen! THE DESTRUCTION IS NOT HAPPENING TO YOU! You are watching it all around you though. How can that be? Because you are IN A DIFFERENT PLACE! YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PLACE YOURSELF IN A PLACE, THE BIBLE CALLS, “THE SECRET PLACE.” It’s a PLACE that you stay in that HIDES and CONCEALS YOU from Destruction! When you and I see destruction and tragedy, that is “the reward of the wicked.” It is a “reward” or trophy of the devil, our enemy to complete an attack of his mission. And what is his mission? John 10:10, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.”
When the enemy kills, steals or destroys it’s a “reward” for him and his cohorts. Again, HOW DOES ONE RECEIVE THE PROMISES OF PSALM 91? In the Hebrew when you look up the first words of Psalm 91 which are, “He who dwells in” we find the Strong’s Number 3427 which is yashab. Yashab means, abides, dwells, inhabits, lives, makes, married, marrying, PEACEFUL, REMAINS, RESIDES, RESIDENT, SETTLE(D), CONTINUES, EASE SELF, STAYS, wait, sit, stand.

When we look up the next words of Psalm 91 we see, “in the secret place.” These words are cether -Strong’s Number 5643 which means A SHELTER, UNDER COVER, COVERT, DISGUISE, PROTECTION.
The Root Word in the Hebrew for cether is the Hebrew word, sathar which is Strong’s Number 5641 which takes us a little deeper and tells us that, “in the secret place” of Psalm 91 also means ABSENT, CONCEAL, HIDE, UNDETECTED, VEIL, HIDDEN, COVERED, BE ABSENT, (hide the FACE), hide one’s face from.
So, according to the Hebrew words and their meanings we see that when you are in A PLACE OF SETTLED, CONTINUED SHALOM, PEACE and are in a state of CONTINUED EASE of SELF it qualifies you to be in the PLACE of Psalm 91!
Remember, THE PLACE OF SHALOM, PEACE is THE RESULT of you and I TRUSTING IN THE LORD! (Isaiah 26:3-4) And when we TRUST God and what He is saying and saying what He is saying about what is happening all around us, it allows Psalm 91 to “kick in!” And when we are in THE PLACE of PEACE it ushers us into THIS PLACE that The Word of God calls, THE SECRET PLACE.
AND NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND US, WE CAN CHOOSE TO STAY IN AND GO TO THE SECRET PLACE OF THE SHALOM OF GOD! And when we do, we go to THE PLACE that SHELTERS us in the midst of destruction. THE SECRET PLACE makes us UNDER COVER Agents in the midst of the storm.
The decision to go to THE SECRET PLACE makes us go into a COVERT Position that DISGUISES US and PROTECTS Us! Hallelujah!
So, when the hard things happen we are there but we are REALLY in another PLACE, and it’s a PLACE OF TRUST IN GOD WHICH RESULTS IN SHALOM! You and I TRUSTING God and His Word at all times keeps us in THE PLACE that is HIDDEN, THE PLACE that is SECRET, THE PLACE that is PROTECTED, THE PLACE of Psalm 91, THE PLACE of SHALOM! Yet the best thing to do right now in your precious life is GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS, SURRENDER! Speak out loud and mean it with all of you,
“Lord Jesus, I make the decision to give You my life entirely. I surrender to You Lord! Please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead for me. I receive Your free gift Jesus! Please come into my life and SAVE ME. I make You, Jesus, The Lord of my life. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and Power, in Jesus Name!”
If you said that prayer and meant it with all your heart, you are now Born Again and in right standing with God! Welcome To The Family! We want to celebrate with you and send you some FREE RESOURCES to help you get started in your new life in The Lord Jesus! And, if you are in need of a Bible, please let us know!
