The document discusses the concept of "Shalom" or peace in the Bible. It begins by summarizing passages about chaos and destruction in Genesis. It then explains that Shalom is not just a noun but also a verb, meaning to make restitution and destroy anarchy. The document urges living in "active Shalom" by doing good, living peaceably with others, and allowing God to crush Satan and the forces of chaos under our feet as we spread the gospel of peace.

1. Restoring
“ShalOM”
Living in the Power
of God’s Peace
by Pastor Lee

2. Gen 1:1-2
1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over
the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering
over the waters. NIV
Tohu’ Va bowhuw
OT:8414 lie in waste,worthless, desolation,
confusion, empty place
OT:922 became formless, caused to be void,
empty undistinguishable ruin:
OT:2821 Destruction, death, sorrow, wickedness,
made dark, witholding light

3. Ezek 28:13
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every
precious stone adorned you:
Ezek 28:17
Your heart became proud on account of your
beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because
of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth;
Isa 14:12
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once
laid low the nations!

4. Gen 3:14-15
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because
you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the
livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl
on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of
your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his
heel. NIV

5. Luke 10:17-19
7 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord,
even the demons submit to us in your name.“ ……. 18
He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from
heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on
snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power
of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Rom 16:17-20
watch out for those who cause divisions and put
obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching
you have learned. Keep away from them. . . .
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

6. PEACE - NOUN
The GOD OF SHALOM WILL CRUSH SATAN
eirene (i-ray'-nay); New Testament Greek equivalent
of Old Testament Hebrew word:
• OT:7965 shalowm (shaw-lome'); safe, well,
happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e.
health, prosperity, peace, great, (good) health,
peace (-able, -ably), prosper (-ity, -ous), rest, safe
(-ty), welfare, (all is, be) well, wholly.

7. To DO Good . .. . .
WE MUST UNDERSTAND SHALOM AS VERB:
Peace, Peace: An action leading to the result
Shalom, Shalom: A verb, leading to the noun.
This is God’s direct response to Satan’s Destruction in the
beginning!
To “Do Shalom” Verb form: make restitution; make
recompense, requite, make good, cut away wrong,
“to destroy the anarchy around you that brings confusion,
anxiety, and disorder.
1 Cor 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion (disorder)
but of peace….. (in context of spiritual gifts - divisions)

8. 1 John 3:7-10
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to
destroy the devil's work”.
Joshua 1:3 “Everywhere your feet shall tread, I will
give to you!”
Isa 52:7 “How beautiful on the mountains are the
feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim
peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim
salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

9. GOD OF PEACE will soon CRUSH satan…. ???
WE have AUTHORITY to Trample on Serpants
(anarchy, anxiety, rebellion, confusion, etc..)
HOW?
“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has
come upon you” (Acts 1:8).
“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and with power, who went about doing good and
healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for
God was with Him” (Acts 10:38).

10. TRUE PEACE DESTROYS THE ANARCHY AROUND YOU
(the work of the devil) THAT BRINGS ANXIETY,
DISORDER, CONFUSION – WHEREVER YOUR FEET GO!
SHALOM IS THE PROCESS THAT BRINGS THE RESULT
OF COMPLETENESS, WHOLENESS, SOUNDNESS,
NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN, PEACE

11. LIVING IN “ACTIVE SHALOM”
• Rom 12:14-19 (to the CHURCH)
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do
not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in
harmony with one another. Do not be proud,
but be willing to associate with people of low
position. Do not be conceited.
• 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful
to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
live at peace [ peaceably] with everyone.

12. Eph 6:10-18 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take
your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is
not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore
put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil
comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you
have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the
belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of
righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the
readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition
to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints.

13. In speaking and in action we should be BE
DOING: Shalom! “May the dark
circumstances around you be cut away,
destroyed”
LIVE PEACEABLY: in other words: As much as
you have the ability, Live in a way which
destroys anarchy, anxiety, confusion, division,
chaos

14. Luke 1:79 JESUS CAME
“to guide our feet into the path of peace.“

CHAOS, ANARCHY, CONFUSION, AND ANXIETY IN THIS
ROOM!”
Matthew 5: Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS….
Matt 10:34-35

John 14:27
7 Peace I leave with you; MY PEACE I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and
do not be afraid.

16. Isa 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
[Shalom] him whose mind is
steadfast, because he trusts in you.
