by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known
unto God. And this is the result. And the peace of God,
which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and your minds through Christ Jesus.
About to take a thought for the day, it would be overcoming the
weight of anxiety. Overcoming the weight of anxiety. When I was younger,
I used to worry a lot. And if you know me, like I
still contemplate, but I don't really necessarily worry as much as I used to.
I used to worry so much that it used to get me sick.
Oh, I will worry about when my grandmother was alive and I was living
with her, I would worry about her getting sick. I will worry about
Christmas. We didn't have a lot growing up. But we Christmas, and
I will worry about what I would do when I get older because I never
really had an answer. People would ask us in church, what do you
want to be when you grow up? And things such as that, and
I really never had an answer, but everybody else having answer. So I
worry about why I didn't not having So I started to say that I wanted
to be a lawyer, but I didn't really know what I wanted to be.
Even when I first got into college, I was my major was one
thing, but I was taking all psych classes because I took a psychological class
of psychology class, and I fell in love with the mind. And I
worried so much. I was if someone in my family would get sick,
I would mirror their sicknesses. Sometimes if you got a headache, I would
get a headache. Oh man, maybe it was something that we ate or
so it was all together and they got a headache. On now I got
because I just worry. I was worrying. And then I read in the
scriptures where Jesus asked and he posed a question, what how can what can
worry add to you? Can it add one measure? They said, I
look at the files of the air and the beast of the field. And
I was in my early twenties when I read that scripture ended illuminated. At
that time, I was going through then where I would in the beginning of
the year, I would read through the entire Bible all year long. So
I would, and I didn't do it like a daily schedule where I had
somebody guided me. I just would just read and I would fall asleep,
and I would way back up and I would read. I started from Genesis,
and I made my way through Revelation. But it was when I got
into Matthew that I saw that particular text. I want to put a pin
there, and I'm want to get back to overcoming the weight of anxiety.
When I first got saved, I was told to start reading the Bible from
Matthew to learn everything about Jesus. Learned about Jesus and that's all you need
to know. You understand Jesus, then you understand it. But a man
named Willie Bates, who eventually I would call my dad because he took me
in, taught me business, and he taught me a lot about life.
He also couldn't read, and he would always say to me. When he
saw me reading the Bible at the instruction of my spiritual leaders, he would
say, I hope you're reading from Genesis and you're not starting in the middle
of the story. I'm like, what do you know? He can't.
One day I took him up on off when I started to read Genesis and
the Bible began to open up. Now. I read the Matthews Scripture before
when Jesus said talks about the files of the air and about anxiety, but
it never really illuminated with me until I understood the historical context of Jesus.
I'm about to get a little of nerdy, but we're going to put some
bravey on it and I'll get you going the mindset of reading from Matthew through
Revelation. Remember they used to have those Bibles with the psalms Matthew in Revelation.
They wanted you to have the songs that the psalms would get you all
thinking about God in a certain way. And then Matthew. That was a
German German influence on Western Christianity. The German influence on Western Christianity removes Jesus
from the Israeli or the Jewish culture and it places Jesus as this other like
he has. He comes from this mystical creation, and it really dives him
into this avatar of the supernatural without a historical context. Although the lineage is
there, if you don't understand the promise of Seed, then you won't really
understand why the lineage of Christ is there. So over your gloss over the
fact that Matthew has this long encompassing genealogy of Christ, which proves him as
the son of David, which proves the promise as Christ, the promised son
of David, who will keep the kingdom Foreverwood Paul and Woman's Chapter one says
that Christ is of God is concerning God, the son of David declared to
be the son of God. He's the son of David, and he's declared
to be the son of God. So that's important in the genealogy. But
let's get back to the word. So I worried when the scripture came.
It begins to it began to ease some of my worry, And I remember
reading it clearly as I could close my eyes. I remember exactly where I
was, and I remember what time it was, early in the morning,
and I remember reading and now I was like, Wow, a crisis is
teaching us not to worry? Now, the how to not worried? I
was never really taught it. And I read these scriptures and I read the
Filippian tech step we took today, but I really didn't understand the process of
dealing with the subconscious mind and how the spirit of God deals with the subconscious
mind to drive out fear and worry. Being in media, understanding as a
marketer, the need to find a person's pain point, the need to speak
to the person needs, wants and or desires, and sometimes they're all equal.
To say, understanding who my core audience is, understanding who I'm talking
to, I have to drive home a message that now relates to the person
and or persons that I really am articulating to. Everyone is not for me
and for my message, but we can all say the same thing and resonate
to other people. So in the sense of anxiety, in the sense of
who Christ was talking to, in a sense of who Paul is talking to,
in a sense of what I would go on to learn. Even though
that scripture calmed me, it really never gave me a blueprint that I can
go back and teach. All I could say to people early in ministry and
for many years in ministries, is that this scripture helped me to understand that
Christ did not want me to worry. But what that scripture did not do
was give me the tools to overcome the weight of anxiety. So when I
began anxious again, I would feel guilty because Christ said, how can anxiety
or worry at any one Cubic? How can worry add any statue to the
day? How can worry? Let trusting God? If God feeds the foules
of the because when we worry, we usually worry about our assessor. So
God can feed the fouls of the air. I'm talking to somebody. If
God can feed and clothe the grass and make themselves beauty, how much more
can your father? Which isn't it guilty? Do you think that he don't
know that you have need for food? Do you think that he doesn't understand
that you have need for clothes? Do he not understand that you have need
for shelter? So what the enemy's job is to get me to the point
where I start using low vibration words like one the body who says the Lord
is my shepherd, he knows of what I have need of I shall not
want. And from the time of birth, when we start asking one another
what do you want to be? We start to place these low vibration thought
processes in the mind that causes us to worry. I want to be a
doctor, but my path is leading me not to be a doctor. So
I'm worried because this is what I want it to be. I want those
shoes, but my income cannot line up with the price of what it is
that I want. I want these things, so because I want them and
I cannot have them, now, I'll leave myself to the place where I
shall want or I shall be anxious because my wants are not lining up with
the trajectory of where I am going. But if the Lord is my shepherd
and I shall not want, I understand that he knows what I need,
and the steps of a good man, the steps of a good woman I
ordered by the Lord. So in order to overcome the first step in overcoming
the weight of anxiety is to understand that there is no need to want,
perceive ourselves desire two accomplish. We feel pressed because we will we count the
cost. We don't sit and mount want leads to Coverty. So now I
want your relationship. I want to be mentored by you, and if I
can't afford the price, then I want to destroy your character. We understand
that God is concerned with all of what we are, all that what we
accomplished, accomplish, and all that we've desired to become. In fact,
he loads the desire for us to become in us, and then he places
us in the position that we actually become what it is that He has birth
inside of us. If we're living within our passion and not within our want,
then we will understand that our passion will lead us to the place where
we will be fed, where we will be closed, we will be housed,
because we're operating in that which He has birthed inside us to operate.
Many of us are operating outside of our passions because we want the status of
the nice car. We want the status that comes along with operating as a
bank of when we should be operating in something else. But I can't walk
away from that because it won't allow me to live in the means of what
I want to be. I want to be seen, I want to be
heard, I want to be whatever I want to be. It doesn't matter
that I'm miserable in doing it, because this thing is helping me to get
what I want. Now I'm anxious because I'm miserable. I got the things,
I got, the nice clothes, I got, the social status,
But deep inside, I'm anxious because I'm not living in my purpose. He
creates us that we might live in the purpose that he has designed for us
to be. You know how many times I walked away from preaching mentally.
You how many times I said, I don't desire or do this, but
this is not what I called myself to be. So every time I operate
outside of that which I called what I am called to be, I'm anxious.
I'm fearful. I'm not operating in my means because this is not what
I want to do. I want it to be a musician. I want
it to be this, and I wanted it to be that. And what
I learned is that when I do what I'm called to operate in, everything
else that I thought that I wanted to be actually comes to pass. Because
when I'm operating and my purpose, there is no anxiety in that because it
comes naturally to me Before we get into the text. I want to talk
about three things that anxiety causes. Anxiety will cause our health and well being
to be compromised. The physical and mental health effects of anxiety can only be
addressed with certain tools that does not come from a lack of understanding. These
tools come from and understanding anxiety to will cause and impact on our decision making.
When I'm making the decision out of angst, I'm not making a decision
at his well thought out Have you ever made a decision out of worried?
Came here, Jacob and he saw, He saw sells his birthright because he's
so worried about the under pay. David plays mad at a gate because he's
worried about his enemies attacking him. Moses breaks the tablets of stone and has
to rewrite the message that God gave him for his people because he was worried
about what the people were doing. Variation will cause us to make horrible with
decisions. If you was to sit down and think about some of the life
decisions that we make because of our mind being worried. Some of us have
sold drugs because we was worried about how He's gonna make ends meet. Salt
our bodies because we was worried about how it's gonna take care of our children.
We've done things I was the way to worrying that we would not necessarily
do if we had the patience that comes quit not worrying, that comes with
trust. But worrying for love is a part of the process. Yoh,
you didn't see that coming. In order for us to really trust in the
process, we have to go through the process of worrying that the process that
we're trusting in won't come to pass. In order for us to really understand
that he may not come when I wanted, but he'll be there on talent,
we have to go through the process of worrying will he come? Because
what fortifies my faith is the fact that I was worried about something that He
already take care of before the foundation of the world. So I learned through
the process of worrying. That's one of the first things, the first steps
I learned through the process of worrying, how not to worry, how to
be patient. So worried takes a toll on our health, and well be
it, whey takes a toll on our decision, Baker, But worry also
takes a toll on our peace, and they're not Text Philippians four, Beginning
at the fourth verse, Paul, as he's coming to the conclusion of his
letter to the Church of Philippo, gives instruction. And this instruction is intentional.
One. He says, I want you to rejoice in the Lord always.
And anytime that you see repeated phrases the word rejoices repeated in this one
verse in the b cause and again I say rejoice. What Paul is doing
now is he's setting up that which is next to come. So in order
to rejoice, in order to have joy again, in order to have a
praise. These are the things that you should set yourself up to be.
One, let your moderation be known unto all men. Don't be silent,
but let your moderation be known to everybody. In other words, share second
thing, be anxious for nothing. I was talking to a friend of mine
who had an incident at a church some months ago concerning given. He finally
found the church that he enjoyed. This was the second church in his lifetime
that he joined. Calls me all the time and he's telling me about this
church and about the worship experience. This is not the first second church that
he has been to, second church in his lifetime that he's joined, fellowshiping
with the men there is finally joins the church, goes through the classes,
they have new members classes. He goes through the classes and at the end
of the class, within the application process, which is it's a new thing.
I don't know about application processes become a member of the large church,
but this is their local assembly. So the application process it comes a part
of the given the type and the question said are you a tiger and if
not, why He said, I haven't come to that point of my faith
where i'm I'll do that, and he was honest about it. A couple
of weeks later, this is the first encounter there's a large assembly, first
encounter that he's ever had with the pastor because he had small group pastor.
The pastor calls him away. He's rather tall and he was a g reader
at the church. He says, hey, man, I came across your
application and I noticed that you putting it that you don't tie that truly said
yeah, I didn't want to lie out of it. I'm not at that
point yet where I've started to tie. I'm a part of the church,
and I'm willing to learn and I'm willing to grow. He said, what
I'm gonna do is hold your application until you get to the place where you
are willing to give a tent of your earner. And he called me.
Destruct came now because I'm his friend, and I'll past him. We talk
about stuff like this, but I don't push my beliefs on anybody or anything.
And he was clearly upset. His first interaction with the lead pastor was
not one that was becoming. The next week, he went to another church,
but he didn't feel comfortable. He wanted to go back to his church,
but he by means felt disrespected and he was hurt. And his testimony
concerning that situation was not a good one, and it bothered him, and
he was worried about it, and he was worried about what how this would
impact him and what it would do for someone else who didn't come from the
same background, who didn't have it, for an as pastor that he can
consult in or didn't, And that situation wound up being resolved that he wound
up going back to the church because his lead pastor noticed that he wasn't around,
and they wound up dealing with the situation. But that is that the
impact that we want to have when we are allowing our moderation being known to
men that was so anxious about someone else's given to the local church, that
we will offend them and our encounter with them, that we as the peace
of God, the Vox day, the voice of God, who represents God
in their presence. Our only concern is what you give in the offering.
Ply that no other service that you render, nothing else that you do that
we're anxious, that we're so greedy, that was nervous about the making a
budget, that we stopped trusting in God. See, when we're anxious about
these things, what we're saying to the world, what we're saying to the
enemy, what we're saying to ourselves, is we can't trust God to meet
bottom line. Come in around. I was pastor in a local church and
we were our overhead was bigger than our income. And I remember talking to
someone who whose budget was ten times the size of mine, and I was
saying, Oh my, how do you do it? And I was coming
as servant in the Lord, trying to find out the recipe, trying to
figure out the blueprint. What is it? And he said, we both
have faith. Somebody's faith is just a bit greater than the other person.
I believe God for a million dollars budget, and you believe God for your
million dollars. The mindset shift happens when we're dealing with the anxious mind,
because the anxious mind is looking at the thing that is in front of it.
When we become anxious, what we're seeing is the doctor's report. When
we become anxious, what we're seeing is the budget. When we become anxious,
what we're seeing is all of the truth that stands in front of us.
But what we don't see is the super not you truth that is invisible
to us. When we are anxious, we're seeing the enemy with the gun.
When our anxious, we're seeing the lion and the den. When we
got anxious, we're seeing the furnace and the fire. When we are anxious,
we're seeing the plot playing out in front of us. We heard of
the testimony of the bully, how he beat up everyone. We hear the
testimony of David and Goliath. And then here comes little David, the ruddy
little boy that wasn't even thought about as being in the running to be selected
as the king. He's saying to his brothers, he's saying to the Israeli
army. He's saying to his kinsmen, who are you afraid of? Do
you not understand the God that I served? The anxious mind doesn't understand who
we serve. The anxious mind is only looking at the thing that's in front
of it. And the thing that's in front of it seems so big.
Have you ever had a problem that seems so big? Bigger than you,
bigger than your finances, bigger than your mindset can comprehend and wrap itself around,
Bigger than what it is that you have ever had to deal with?
The weightiness of this thing now causes us to say I can't overcome it.
So, Paul, it's not enough for you to tell me be anxious for
nothing. Christ, is not enough for you to tell me don't worry about
anything. I need some instruction on it how not to be anxious? Can
you give me a blueprint on how not to worry about everything? I can't
get behind the sacred desk and just tell the Mother trust and God He's gonna
feed you. Because there ought to be some substantial evidence there ought to be
a blueprint. Sometimes the person that's sitting in the pew won't even let you
know what their anxieties are because they're too afraid that if they opened up and
told you about the little girl or the little boy inside of them that's still
afraid to take chances and risk that you would laugh them out of the room.
Because we don't have compassion for people. We don't have that stet festiveness
that we the mothers of old used to have. We don't have that steady
hand. We don't have that long suffering that Christ even has with us,
and he displays on a daily and day out basis, a day in and
day out basis. We don't have that discretion anymore. We are so quick
to post everything on social media, is so quick to out people, so
quick to embarrass people for social status, so that we can make ourselves feel
big as we decrease other people and minimize them in our dealing. We don't
have that kind of compassion that is required of us, to be mindful of
the things of others, to communicate, to give to those that's what you
mean, Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is here.
The Lord is at here. Be careful, be anxious for nothing,
how but in everything by prayer. Remember, the whole root of this series
is wrapped around prayer. So the meditative mind, the praying mind, moves
us from the place of where we are or what we see. When we
read the prayers of David, he says stuff like, when my enemies come
in like a flood and encamp themselves around me. He says stuff like the
Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? He says
stuff like, if I make my bed down and Hell, he'll be there.
The Lord is at hand. If I make my bed in heaven,
he will be there. So he's given himself and his psyche and his self
conscious mind an alternative to the enemy that's in front of it. He's given
himself an alternative to the darkness that's in front of him. He's given himself
an alternative to the need that's in front of him. The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want. He's giving himself a whole new narrative through
prayer that will shape his real reality. Because what a man think himself to
be, that is what they will become. So if I'm wrapped in subconscious
thought processes where I'm talking negative to myself, where I'm talking down to myself,
where every time I make a mistake, I'm calling myself negative names and
repeating and rehearsing that somebody else already said about me. And instead of calling
myself what God has called me to be the head and not to tell the
light of the world, the salt of the earth, the Linda, and
not to borrow. If I'm saying I'm all my mother was for my daddy's
born. Now I'm born, I can't get my credit right. I can't
get this together. I can't get myself together. My mother was sick,
I'm sick. My father died at forty. I'm turning thirty nine. I'm
worried at thirty eight about what's gonna happen at forty. But the new narrative
inside of me, the new DNA inside of me, is pressing towards the
mark of the high calling, which is in Christ. In me all,
I'm forgetting those things which are behind me, and I'm pressing towards the mark
of the high calling narrative that comes along with prayers. So the first thing
that I have to fixed. In order to fix my anxious life. It
is my prayer life. I can't give nobody else responsibility over that part of
my relationship. I can't give nobody else that responsibility over shaping my subconscious thought
process, because I have to give my suffer a new narrative for every time
I think those negative and anxious thoughts. I have to now think of something
lovely, think of something pure. I have to think of something that God
has already done for me right before we came into service. I've noticed that
my new classes were messed up, and I began to get angry, and
I began to lament, and I began to wonder how I began to be
anxious. I just got these glasses, and I mean, and I started
to laugh at myself because I said, here, you are about to preach
a message on anxiety, a message on overcoming something, and you're about to
be overcome with anger, overcome with Oh my god, I can't get another
pair of glasses for a whole another Yeah, and you're about to go through
this whole entire thought process, the psychological of ramble, this thing that's happening
inside of you over something that can probably be fixed until you explore all the
options. That's what prayer does. It is allowed us to explore all the
options. You remember, y'all can go back and listen. Hannah, when
she's bearing and she doesn't have a child, she becomes creative and she says,
Lord, if you give me the son, if you give me not
just a child, but if you give me a boy child, I'll give
him back to you. I'll make the sacrifice. You remember Solomon, he
becomes wise when God comes to him and say, what is it that you
want for me? He says, I understand that you're merciful, I understand
that you're all knowing, But if you can give me wisdom to deal with
the thing that you called me to become. He's asking for something out of
his mindset that will cause him to benefit, not just him, but he
wants to be able to benefit those that are around. And when we pray,
our imagination begins to broaden, our mind begins to broad and we're not
praying from either the left side of the brain or the right side of the
brain, but we're meditating and we're thinking from all that God has done for
us, how he breathes the life of breath inside of us, and though
don't begin to become understanding about the art of breathing and the impact that breathing
has on the common of the nervous system, taking out the inflammation out of
our bodies. Don't become flexible in the body and become flexible in the minds.
See all of this mind body connectivity that happens in the life of the
believer that should be happening. Oh, don't have a great diet where your
digestive system is working properly, and don't get enough sleep where all things that
are necessary that keeps us away from variation. Don't have positive thought processes where
you're not really holding on to the things that are happening around us negative negative,
Wise, if you're not holding onto the hurt of the past, but
you're pressing the future. Don't have all of this stuff happening in your life
and now you act on top of it. Prayer life all man, you're
on your way to something great. I tell you he gives a blue print.
I want you to say a blue print if you have a pen and
you have a paper that I'm not I'm not super intellectual I'm just gonna read
what's on a paper. Philippians four six p anxious for nothing. Don't worry
about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Got to
have a gratitude practice. Got to have a gratitude practice. We don't count
our blessings. We always want to count the problems. That's the next step
to overcoming anxiety is that every time I start to look at what I don't
have, let me start to appreciate God for what I do have. The
mothers of old used to say, I thank God for the activities of my
limbs, the movement in my hands. I thank God for the vibration and
thanksgiving. Now watch this. Let your requests be made known to God.
Don't worry about nothing. Verse four. He ends. Verse six, he
ends with let your request be made known to God. And this is the
result. And the peace of God, which passed all understanding, shall keep
your heart and your mind through Christ. I didn't read this, but here's
the caveat. Finally, Brother, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are a good report? If there be any virtue,
if there be any praise, think on those things in order to combat my
anxiety thought process, in order to combat the thing that I'm anxious about.
I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, eight things that you can put in place. I often take
teach people if you're gonna have one anxious thought for every one inchious thought,
I need you to overcome it by thinking of two or three positive things.
But what Paul is saying, be anxious for enough think and this is what
I want you to think about. One think of those things which are truth.
Two, think of those things which you are honest. Three, think
of those things which are just. Four think of those things which a lovely.
Five think of those things which you are a good report. Six if
there be any virtue, if there be any praise, I said eight is
six things, Think on those things, those things which you have learned,
and those things which you ever received, if you ever received it, those
things which you heard, and those things that you've seen. Who have you
seen it in? You might not have seen it in anybody else, but
Paul said, you've seen it in me. How do we overcome the weight
of anxiety? We overcome the weight of anxiety in the same place that the
anxiety is birthed and the mind. Subconscious mind never goes to sleep. If
I go to sleep worrying about something, I'm gonna wake up worrying about something.
But if I go to sleep thinking on those things that Paul just laid
out, I'm gonna wake up thinking on those things that he laid out.
If I go to sleep activating the subconscious thought process with things that are lovely
and pure. If I go to sleep activating the subconscious mindset of things that
are healthy. My affirmations, the things that I'm affirming to myself is that
which God has says concerning my health and my well being. God is concerned
about my relationships. God is concerned about what I eat. God is concerned
about how I consume. God is concerned about how I walk. God is
concerned about me, which is why he says, I'll never leave you,
nor will I forsake you. What the enemy wants us to think, and
that's why we begin to become anxious, is that he does not care about
Your Daddy didn't care, so why would your father in heaven care? Your
mother left you. You are abandoning you with this, but that the naysayers
will always be there to push us close to the God that they say us
don't come to help us lock in the God. That may sayers come to
bring us away from God, But what they wind up doing is bringing us
closer to God. They draw us near unto Him, because all they want
to do is may say, what is there anybody here as we close that
can start to apply these things to think about to overcome the anxiety that dwells
within. There's other twols, there's other things that we can do. But
the Bible says, think on those things which are true? Whatsoever? Things
that are aren't? Whatsoever? Things that are just? What'so are things that
are pure? What's the other things that I loved you? What's the other
things that I have a good report? There'll be any virtue, if there'll
be any praise, thank God. Those things, those things that you have
both learned, not just experienced, those things which you have received, those
things that you have heard and seen in me, and the God of Peace
shall be good. My question is if God before you, who now can
be against your spirit of the most God, we surrender all go overcome the
anxious mind in the same battlefield that the anxious mind is attempted to control.
For you are our shepherd, and we shall not render control unto season.
Oh anxiety, you can live in the house, but you only compare it.
You don't own me. Fear you can live with me is a part
of my growth process, but you cannot control. We rebuked the spirit of
fear. We were rebuked the spirit of the pressure. We were spute the
spirit of anxiety. And we give alternative thoughts on those things which are lovably
pure. Good report, praise well, Thank you Father for forgiving us of
ourselves. What's are meaning? As we go throughout the day, we pray
that you would seize in our words with grace, that we might be a
beacon of light and a blessing, as you have challenged us to be a
blessing to those that bless us, and you would bless those that bless us.
Let us not move in fear, for you have not given us the
spirit of fear, but you have given unto us the spirit of love and
a sound live Jesus Christ name, I pray, thank God and a man.
