Fear and Anxiety Will Cause You to More Worries

“26- And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.”

Here are some of the bad fruits of fear, if fear is a fruit bearing tree… Fear can make you worry about everything. Matthew Henry wrote; “It intimates how pleasing it is to Christ, and of how much concern it is to ourselves, that we should live without carefulness. It is the repeated command of the Lord Jesus to his disciples, that they should not divide and pull in pieces their own minds with care about the world.” (The Bible Collections)

Jesus said; “25- Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26- Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27- Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28- And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29- And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30- Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31- Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32- (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33- But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34- Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:25- 34 KJV)

How’s Your Prayer Life?

“9- For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10- Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.” (Romans 1:9- 10 KJV)

Someone said; “Prayer and the Word of God are inseparable, and should always go together in the quiet time of the inner chamber.” The book of proverbs says; “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9 KJV) What we need in our churches today is not more people or better machinery, and great administration or programs; but prayerful Christians. It’s not new organizational set up or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use. They are the people with more serious prayer life; men and women mighty in prayer. The Holy Spirit does not flow though methods but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but people of prayer.

It’s great to have plans, programs and goals, but the best of all is to pray and pray more for our plans, our goals, and for people to be anointed by the Lord. Mr. John R. Mott wrote; “Beginning the day with a devotional Bible Study and Prayer equips a man for the day’s fight with self and sin and Satan.” We should be like King David who prayed in the morning at noon and at night. (Psalms 55:16-17) “16-As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.17- Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.”

What is the Will of God for Your Life?

“35- For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” (Mark 3:35 KJV)

What really is the will of God for your life? Man can assume to be in the will of God; but it’s hard to really determine to be in the center of God’s will. So, what is God’s will for my life and your life? It is the will of God for us to be saved, for us to go to heaven, and to repent. It is not His will for us to perish and go to hell. The Bible says; “9- The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (II Peter 3:9 KJV)

It’s not only in salvation, but in His service. It is God’s will for us to serve Him and to offer our lives to Him. It is to surrender and to sacrifice in accordance to His will and for His glory. Apostle Paul wrote; “1- I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2- And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:1- 2 KJV)

 We must be separated from sin and Satan. “3- For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4- That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;” (I Thessalonians 4:3- 4 KJV) It is God’s will for us to live a life separated from sin and Satan’s devices. We must abstain from fornication and live a life of honor and sanctification. The word “fornication” in ESV version means “sexual immorality”. Sanctification means “being set apart”. Apostle Paul wrote; “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.” (II Timothy 2:21 KJV)

From Our Hearts to Our Feet

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.” (Proverbs 4:23- 26 KJV)

Sin, vision, attitude, lifestyle, and our ways of life; it all starts from the heart. Then we will start talking about it. Jesus said; “…Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Matthew 12:34) If it's positive, we will start to have a positive mind set, but if it's negative, then we will absolutely be on it. Sin will stimulate man’s perverse lips; therefore it’s not a surprise if gossip will step in or man’s critical spirit will urges him to exercise its evil desire. If our heart is right, then our talk and our walk with God will go along with it.

Our eyes will then be focus on those things whatsoever we have treasured in our hearts. Our eyes will then enjoy that which we placed in our hearts; be it good or evil, positive or negative, Godly or not, and so on... I heard people say; “A constant practice makes perfect”. Let me say; “A constant right practice makes you perfect.” It helps you mature or learn to do things right.

The next thing we know is when we already are walking on it, on its path. But if our heart is in His Word, if our eyes is on Him, and we walk in His path and His will; we can’t be wrong! Be sure to take the advice of King Solomon in verse 27; “Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” (Proverbs 4:27 KJV)
