I agree. But from my experience, every good decision I have made has brought me peace in the end. Like If I make a bad decision. I am restless and can't even sleep
@tondaniraluswinga2590 honestly when I have made a wrong decision,I don't have peace about it. The peace doesn't come until the right decision is made,at least that's been my experience.
This is so good! I might add that spending time in God's presence and developing a relationship with Him involves surrendering our life to Him. If you spend time in His presence you'll have the discernment to know whether it's your flesh or the spirit. God is always speaking in our lives. There is no situation that He'll not respond too if you lay it at the altar.
Spot on! We left a church recently and it was painful. I cried for days but we knew we needed to. They were unwilling to let the enneagram go just hide it a little better. No repentance.
I’m a little conflicted or maybe I should say I don’t really understand if my thought to cut my friend off is selfish or selfless according to Jackie’s definition. I thought I was being selfish and ok with cutting her off because I can’t remember when I wasn’t drained and even yelled at during/after our telephone conversations … no matter how sweet I talked. As we get older (grandmother), foolishness becomes a welcomed distance. I just cannot. Told her in recent talks that I love her but I can’t go back there. Is this selfish or selfless?
God had actual sent me wise counsel through a trusted coworker, but i rubbed it off and ended leaving my job for another one i thought would be better. I remember thinking i felt peace about my decision, but i know now i was operating out of fear.
Jackie, I love how you drop wisdom and say, "Hopefully, that's helpful, bye!" 😂 But seriously, the fact that we might be okay with a decision because it is pleasing to ourselves, that's so true! We often choose the easiest, most painless, and self-centered decisions, and we feel justified in our selfishness. I also agree that not consulting others is a form of arrogance. We always think we know way more than we really do. We all need to humble ourselves and seek wise counsel from God and the godly men and women he has placed in our lives. I've been studying Solomon, who started out wise but ended up being destroyed because he did not consider what was pleasing to God. Choices are so important! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Jackie! I’ve always struggle to “feel peace” when making decisions & often have to do what seems to honor God best. I’ve felt like something was wrong with me because I didn’t have the “peace” other people had, but this illuminated the real issue. God was teaching me to not walk by emotions & to learn how to walk in wisdom. Thank you for that. ❤
This is NOT RANDOM my sister! It's an important word I needed to hear. I thank God for you...this is so true..."I have peace" is NOT a safe technique to make decisions.
I agree that you should ADD - is this pleasing to God, does this honor my neighbor, and seeking wise counsel where available. However I disagree with ignoring your emotions. God gives you alarms for a reason. If you are saved and praying on a regular basis I think you can trust those alarms. You should also heed closed vs open doors. Sometimes Satan will open a door that looks amazing but you still need to ask God to close doors that aren't for you and still need to wait and pray. Also you should know that any mistake you make while trying to seek Gods will - He will correct it. If you honestly think you should go right and thats the way God is leading you, but it turns out He wanted you to left He will find away to turn you in the right direction in a way where you will know that its Him. And normally the way that you know it's Him is PEACE not fear, torment or sleepless nights or scriptures that make no sense. Satan can quote scripture and you it to lead you in the wring direction - like he tried to do to Jesus. Im not saying everything has to be comfy and perfect for you to know its God. NO, it can be uncomfortable, difficult, hard ect but your heart should feel soild and still deep on the inside. Ask for confirmation like Gideon did. Use ALL these tools and your confidence in the decision you are making should improve drastically. And lastly step out and find out. Go on that first date, go to that interview, tour the campus ect. Trust that in those moments God will reveal whats good or whats bad. At some point you have to take action, if theres an explosion turn around.
Really interesting point here. I remember praying for resignation, I was asking God for a confirmation that it's the right thing to do. I wanted to resign because my work was consuming so much of my time that I have less and less time for God and the ministry. After 2 years of praying, I woke up with a peace in my heart and I took it as God's confirmation and that He's saying yes resign. Was it comfortable? No. I was resigning with no work awaiting for me, but within me there's peace. Am I pleasing myself? Not really because I was actually placing myself in a difficult position of losing an income. Cut the story short, I sent my resignation but my boss bargained and asked what do I want to do in life. Told him everything I want to do, and he said to me, 'Well how about we make a job in your own terms?' Fast forward, I'm still in the same job and growing. Let's not forget that peace is still a valid sign of God's confirmation but I agree that it must be accompanied with wisdom from the Lord to interpret correctly.
This video came at just the right time, there's a decision I have to make by 7pm today and I just prayed about it. Praise God! So grateful for Pastor Perry's ministry.
I see how in some cases, feeling peace about something could be the same as saying it just feels good. Maybe our perceived peace is just relief because we're avoiding something God wants to use to grow us.
Farrrrr from a Christian but I absolutely love this message as it resonates and it’s so practical to be put into action and applied to my everyday decision making process.
Too many have not been taught how to make wise decisions by seeking what God wants. Honestly our parent generation went by their emotions often and called it God.
Yes, Amen! I'm also convinced that we've made peace a feeling when the bible speaks of it as a state of being, a noun, and most importantly a fruit of the Spirit. I agree that our decisions should be made according to faith - for without faith, it is impossible to please God.
The “when I stole @ JC Penny’s I had peace” took me out! I’ve heard this story from Jackie before but I still think it’s hilarious! 🤣🤣 Thank You God for transformation and honesty.🙏🏾 Man!!! 🗣️SPEAK!!!
“Hopefully that was helpful…” ARE YOU KIDDING???! This is THE content the disciples need. The quality of our life-and discipleship-boils down almost exclusively to the DECISIONS we make. Spot on, sister 🎯
Jackie always comes through with that rock-solid word that dismantles our sand castles (whatever we thought was right and working). She digs up the lies/false beliefs, exposes the root, and then gives us that good soil (alignment with the word) so we can get to planting (sowing the word into our life through action/application) and living a life blessed by God for God!
You said hopefully is was helpful? HUNTY I woke up and saw this and it's EXCATLY what I needed to hear. When I say EXCATLY, I mean exactly THAT! HE most certainly did lay that on your heart for me. It's 6 am here in Berlin, Germany!!! GOD BLESS U! B.A.N.G.!!! B.A.N.G.!!! ❤❤❤
I have been living in a valley of many decisions to make and this afternoon before I meditated on God's Word I prayed asking Him for guidance and to order my steps because I don't know which decisions to make and this was literally the video that popped up when I opened TH-cam to play a worship song before I meditated on the Word of God. This video was an answer to my prayer, thank you and yes it helped so much! May God continue blessing your ministry and put His words upon thy lips.
Truth!! Thank you! It's amazing how subtle wrong theology can be. I accepted the ”have peace” theology as if it was biblical . Thank you for shining the light on this.
Girl, preach! This was so rich and on point. All your points were excellent. I believe you represented the mind of Christ in this post. Thank you for the reminders of good decision making; governed by the Word, in community and not in isolation. Awesome!
Thank you God for giving me strength to keep trust in you. . I know it’s important to trust God no matter what we are going through. Blind faith and the Love of Jesus. My husband passed years ago I miss him dearly. As a single mother things are hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic. I’m constantly struggling to provide for them and now that I’m home schooling them my hours to work are limited. I’m overwhelmed. Father God hear my prayers. My faith in you is strong! Even as I constantly struggle to pay my rent. And I constantly struggle to provide groceries for my children. Jesus I call on you for strength. I will keep faith. Walking with faith is the only thing I can do. Thank you God. Father you have provided this far and for that I’m so grateful. Faith over fear.
Hello @ChildofGod98765 , this was the scripture verse that came to mind for you after reading your comment. Matthew 9:22 KJV But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy FAITH hath made thee WHOLE. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Please note: To be whole means… To restore (someone) to a sound, healthy, or otherwise favorable condition. I pray the LORD makes you and children whole as it is written in His Word in Jesus name. Amen. Be encouraged and keep the faith. 🙏🏽
I saw this video pop up in my TH-cam recommended list a couple of days ago and I have been ACTIVELY avoiding it. Probably because I wasn't ready to listen, but gratefully, I am today. I hear you that you didn't want to turn this post into a mini workshop, but so many of us are glad that you did :) Thank you Jackie

Loved when you said, “Sometimes we have peace about a decision because the decisions are self-centered” 🙏🏾 hard truth
I agree. But from my experience, every good decision I have made has brought me peace in the end. Like If I make a bad decision. I am restless and can't even sleep
@@tondaniraluswinga2590yes, I agree with this explanation of it!
@tondaniraluswinga2590 honestly when I have made a wrong decision,I don't have peace about it. The peace doesn't come until the right decision is made,at least that's been my experience.
Yeah, that hit hard! 😰
BIG FACTS!!!
Something that my pastor said is “Will God be comfortable there?” Changed my like in 5 words!
This is so good! I might add that spending time in God's presence and developing a relationship with Him involves surrendering our life to Him. If you spend time in His presence you'll have the discernment to know whether it's your flesh or the spirit. God is always speaking in our lives. There is no situation that He'll not respond too if you lay it at the altar.
So good!!❤
Amen!
Spot on! We left a church recently and it was painful. I cried for days but we knew we needed to. They were unwilling to let the enneagram go just hide it a little better. No repentance.
Thank u for saying this. I needed this comment.
And you will have peace from God...as the Word says, He will give us peace not as the world gives....
OUCH, OUCH, OUCH! Just used the "peace" line yesterday. Prayed about this subject this morning! Wow...thank you!
LOL & I just used it last night! God is good!! I’m thankful for this teaching.
“Is it a selfish decision, or a selfless decision?” AMEN 🙏🏾
I’m a little conflicted or maybe I should say I don’t really understand if my thought to cut my friend off is selfish or selfless according to Jackie’s definition.

"We shouldn't make all of our decisions in isolation." Seek wise counsel!!
God had actual sent me wise counsel through a trusted coworker, but i rubbed it off and ended leaving my job for another one i thought would be better. I remember thinking i felt peace about my decision, but i know now i was operating out of fear.
The amount of awesomeness in these 5:42 is mind boggling 🤯🙏🏾✨ Thank you God for giving us Jackie Hill Perry ✨
In the middle of my suffering, God has proven to see me again. Thank you for speaking your mind 🙏🏽
Literally my story stumbling across this. Prayer answered IMMEDIATELY!
Biblical frameworks that are more developed, more mature...Love this!
"The wise counsel" is the message....for me. Thank you God for sending this word from Jackie to reassure me
Jackie, I love how you drop wisdom and say, "Hopefully, that's helpful, bye!" 😂 But seriously, the fact that we might be okay with a decision because it is pleasing to ourselves, that's so true!

This is NOT RANDOM my sister! It's an important word I needed to hear. I thank God for you...this is so true..."I have peace" is NOT a safe technique to make decisions.
I have said this SOOO often. We won't always have peace when making hard decisions.
I agree that you should ADD - is this pleasing to God, does this honor my neighbor, and seeking wise counsel where available. However I disagree with ignoring your emotions. God gives you alarms for a reason. If you are saved and praying on a regular basis I think you can trust those alarms. You should also heed closed vs open doors.

Uh,I don’t think she is a pastor. Are you?
JACKIE!!!!! The LORD answered my prayers through this message. Thank you.
FACTS 💯
I did that exact thing (saying I had peace about it) and nearly lost my life 😕
I see how in some cases, feeling peace about something could be the same as saying it just feels good. Maybe our perceived peace is just relief because we're avoiding something God wants to use to grow us.
Great points!! Taking time to listen for the Shepards direction. Waiting in His presence is key. ❤

Man!!! 🗣️SPEAK!!!
“Hopefully that was helpful…” ARE YOU KIDDING???! This is THE content the disciples need.
The quality of our life-and discipleship-boils down almost exclusively to the DECISIONS we make.
Spot on, sister 🎯
These are great principles to apply. Scripture also says, seek peace and pursue it. In all decisions there must be a Godly Peace!
That’s talking directly about turning from evil and becoming a peace maker
Psalms 34:14
Jackie always comes through with that rock-solid word that dismantles our sand castles (whatever we thought was right and working).

Hello @ChildofGod98765 , this was the scripture verse that came to mind for you after reading your comment.
Matthew 9:22 KJV
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy FAITH hath made thee WHOLE. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Please note: To be whole means…
To restore (someone) to a sound, healthy, or otherwise favorable condition.
I pray the LORD makes you and children whole as it is written in His Word in Jesus name. Amen.
Be encouraged and keep the faith. 🙏🏽
