2 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9 (NKJV) Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

3 Hebrews 12:14–15(NKJV) 14Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

4 If you compare yourself with others, you may be bitter or vain, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Max Ehrman

5 Eph 6 Phillips For our fight is not against any physical enemy: it is against organisations and powers that are spiritual. We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil.

6 Galatians 5:20 (AMP) Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),

7 How do I invite this spirit of discord into my life?

8 1) Comparison 

9 2 Cor 10:12 (NLT) Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!

10 James 3:16 (GNT) Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil.

12 2) How do we open doors? 

13 How we open a door to the enemy: 1) Our tongue 2) Pride 3) Through quarrelling

14 Jam 3:6 (NIV) 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

15 Prov 13:10 (NKJV) 10 By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom. 

16 Is 54:10 (NIV) 10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

17 Is 9:6 (NIV) 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

18 Is 9:6 (NIV) 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:18 | NIV

20 2 Tim 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self- control.

21 THINK about such things. Phil 4:8-9 whatever is noble,
8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable —if anything is excellent or praiseworthy THINK about such things.
