Before You Enter, Let the Prince of Peace Go First (for 6/26/25)

 

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’” – Luke 10:5

In a world where atmospheres can be charged with competition, tension, jealousy, or even demonic influence, the spiritual posture you carry into a room matters more than anything you wear on your body.

Jesus gave a clear directive in Luke 10:5: “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’” He wasn’t just teaching etiquette—He was revealing authority. Peace isn’t passive. It’s a presence. A divine order. A spiritual atmosphere that either welcomes Heaven or permits chaos.

When we walk into a room, especially one where there may be unresolved emotions, spiritual resistance, or hidden hostility, we have two choices: to react to the room or to govern it.

How Do You Let the Prince of Peace Go First?

1. Start with Forgiveness

   Unforgiveness is the gatekeeper of offense and spiritual distraction. Clear the slate before you enter any space, especially those connected to your assignment.

2. Plead the Blood

   The blood of Jesus is not just for salvation—it’s for sanctification, for shielding, and for spiritual alignment. Plead it over your mind, your mouth, your movement, and your mission.

3. Declare Peace Aloud

   It may feel awkward at first, but speak it boldly. “Peace to this house.” Whether it’s your salon, a business meeting, or a family gathering—speak the Word and let Heaven respond.

4. Shift the Atmosphere with the Spirit, Not Your Flesh

   Don’t respond to pettiness with pettiness. Don’t lower your frequency to match the room. Instead, lift the room with your stillness, your poise, and your intentional grace.

5. Walk In Knowing Who Sent You

   When you’re sent by God, you don’t need applause, agreement, or validation. You were assigned, not invited—and there is a difference.

Kingdom Reminder:

Before you speak to anyone in the room, speak to the room itself.

Let the Prince of Peace enter first—then follow His lead.
