/“Don’t Worry – God Is In Control!”/
Joyce Meyer
Hebrews 13:5 AMP… “…For He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support, [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]”
*The word “worry”* is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning to strangle or to choke.
§ how well named the emotion is….
§ worry has been demonstrated time & again – in persons who have lost their effectiveness due to anxiety & apprehension.
§ normal sensible concern – is a normal attribute of a mature person
§ But worry – frustrates ones best functioning!
Life is full of questions……Thankfully….
you and I don’t have to have all the answers
BUT….what
are we supposed to do when the pressure is on…..
and we feel boxed in?
What are we to focus on when we are surrounded by trouble?
OH MY….how
we can worry!
READING….. All the water in the world – However hard it tried.
Could never – never sink a ship – Unless it got inside
All the hardships of this world – Might wear you pretty thin
But they won’t hurt you one least bit
Unless you let them in.
Unless you let them in….. Unless you let them in….
Unless you let them in.
*You May Ask….. *Why does the devil attack us?
§ he does not like us!
§ we’re God’s prized possession
§ His chosen ones – His treasure
Sometimes he attacks us….
Because We Have Done Something Wrong!
§ We open a door – for the enemy to wreck havoc in our lives!
§ *Eph 4:27* says….
“Leave no such room for him or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him].
§ *We must deal with it…..*Ask the Father to show you – If You Have Done Anything to give the devil ground in your life?
§ *If He shows you something…*.then
repent – plead the blood
§ *Close the gap*… and go on.
* *
Or….Satan attacks us – Because we have done something right!
§ our godly choices & actions – did damage to his kingdom!
§ we submitted to the Word of God….and he comes to immediately steal it!
Lk 8
He attacks us – just because we are making progress!
§ *Jn 10:10*… “The thief comes only in to steal, kill, and destroy…”
§ comes to rob us
§ to steal things …… the Word – our peace – our joy.
§ GOOD NEWS IS….
rest of John 10:10
“I came that they may have and enjoy life
and have it in abundance *(to the full – till it overflows!)*
amp
* *
*Life – and have it more abundantly (to the full – till it overflows!!!!)*
Psalm 23:1… amp “The Lord is my shepherd….I shall not Lack.”
23:5… “You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over
* The Lord is my shepherd – I shall not lack – my cup overflows!*
* *
*If we yield to Him – He will give us victory over Satan*
James 4:7….
“Submit to God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
*/Realize Something/* – You are not the only Christian under attack!!!!
1 Peter 5:9 */AMP/ 9*Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.
Jesus said in Jn 16:33… */AMP/ 33*I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace /and/ confidence.
In the world you have tribulation /and/ trials /and/ distress /and/ frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]!
For I have overcome the world.
[I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
*We have to realize….
That God Is In The Fire With You!*
§ *God reassured many thru-out scripture that He was with them!*
§ during famine – God told Isaac He would be with him.
* God reassured Joshua – that He was with him.
Joshua 1:5 “…As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.”
* He was with Gideon…
* in the fire with Shadrach – Meshach - & Abednego
When we are attacked by the enemy & thrown into a “fiery trial” – God is with us….
§ when the heat is on – the things that have bound us are burned away!
§ there is power – in knowing – that God is with you.
We need to stop trying to figure everything out!
Worry & anxiety occur – when we spend today’s strength & energy
trying to get tomorrow’s answers!
Proverbs 3:5-6 */AMP/ 5*Lean on, trust in, /and/ be confident in the Lord with all your heart /and/ mind and do not rely on your own insight /or/ understanding.
*6*In all your ways know, recognize, /and/ acknowledge Him, and He will direct /and/ make straight /and/ plain your paths.
> Worry is the advance interest you pay on troubles that seldom come.
> Worry, like a rocking chair, will give you something to do, but it won’t get you
anywhere.

* *
*We are to believe what His Word says is true…..*
* AND – trust Him even when we don’t understand what is going on!*
* *
/FAITH…./is
described this way in the Amplified Bible….. Colossians 1:4…
“….the
leaning of our entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and
confidence in His power, wisdom and goodness.”
/TRUST…./requires
us to have unanswered questions.
We need to get “comfortable – not knowing”
Stop “staring” at our circumstances…….. Stop trying to figure them out!
§ fix your eyes on Jesus – “the author & finisher of our faith”
§ we need to – meditate on His track record
§ He’s the same – yesterday – today – forever
Backed Into A Corner……first line of defense is to pray.
§ God knows our hearts – He’s mindful of what we are going thru.
§ PRAY opens the door for God to begin to work
§ Pray The Word!
