This morning, we're gonna look at the Book 46 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:32.639 of Philippians. We're going to the New Testament, the Book of Philippians, 47 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:42.519 chapter four, beginning at verse four. The Book of Philippians, chapter four, 48 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.279 beginning at first of all, we thank you all for joining us this 49 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.680 morning. For those of you who are wherever you're listening from, for those 50 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.600 of you who are listening later. God bless you all, and we thank 51 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.160 you all for your support. Philippians. For rejoice in the Lord always and 52 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.720 again, I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. 53 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.279 The Lord is at hand, or the Lord is near. Be anxious, 54 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.399 or be careful for nothing that were careful's anxious. But in every thing, 55 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.920 by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known 56 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.480 unto God. And this is the result. And the peace of God, 57 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:32.319 which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and your minds through Christ Jesus. 58 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:43.000 About to take a thought for the day, it would be overcoming the 59 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:53.160 weight of anxiety. Overcoming the weight of anxiety. When I was younger, 60 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.079 I used to worry a lot. And if you know me, like I 61 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.759 still contemplate, but I don't really necessarily worry as much as I used to. 62 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:10.120 I used to worry so much that it used to get me sick. 63 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.319 Oh, I will worry about when my grandmother was alive and I was living 64 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.120 with her, I would worry about her getting sick. I will worry about 65 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:31.800 Christmas. We didn't have a lot growing up. But we Christmas, and 66 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:38.000 I will worry about what I would do when I get older because I never 67 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.839 really had an answer. People would ask us in church, what do you 68 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.439 want to be when you grow up? And things such as that, and 69 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.639 I really never had an answer, but everybody else having answer. So I 70 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.680 worry about why I didn't not having So I started to say that I wanted 71 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.199 to be a lawyer, but I didn't really know what I wanted to be. 72 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:06.319 Even when I first got into college, I was my major was one 73 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.959 thing, but I was taking all psych classes because I took a psychological class 74 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.040 of psychology class, and I fell in love with the mind. And I 75 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:26.759 worried so much. I was if someone in my family would get sick, 76 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:34.160 I would mirror their sicknesses. Sometimes if you got a headache, I would 77 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.879 get a headache. Oh man, maybe it was something that we ate or 78 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.399 so it was all together and they got a headache. On now I got 79 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.480 because I just worry. I was worrying. And then I read in the 80 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:53.439 scriptures where Jesus asked and he posed a question, what how can what can 81 00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:00.040 worry add to you? Can it add one measure? They said, I 82 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.199 look at the files of the air and the beast of the field. And 83 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.120 I was in my early twenties when I read that scripture ended illuminated. At 84 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:18.879 that time, I was going through then where I would in the beginning of 85 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:26.000 the year, I would read through the entire Bible all year long. So 86 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.399 I would, and I didn't do it like a daily schedule where I had 87 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.080 somebody guided me. I just would just read and I would fall asleep, 88 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.840 and I would way back up and I would read. I started from Genesis, 89 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.759 and I made my way through Revelation. But it was when I got 90 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.919 into Matthew that I saw that particular text. I want to put a pin 91 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.840 there, and I'm want to get back to overcoming the weight of anxiety. 92 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:05.720 When I first got saved, I was told to start reading the Bible from 93 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.879 Matthew to learn everything about Jesus. Learned about Jesus and that's all you need 94 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:18.320 to know. You understand Jesus, then you understand it. But a man 95 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.480 named Willie Bates, who eventually I would call my dad because he took me 96 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.559 in, taught me business, and he taught me a lot about life. 97 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:35.960 He also couldn't read, and he would always say to me. When he 98 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:45.480 saw me reading the Bible at the instruction of my spiritual leaders, he would 99 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.799 say, I hope you're reading from Genesis and you're not starting in the middle 100 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.600 of the story. I'm like, what do you know? He can't. 101 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.960 One day I took him up on off when I started to read Genesis and 102 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.639 the Bible began to open up. Now. I read the Matthews Scripture before 103 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.919 when Jesus said talks about the files of the air and about anxiety, but 104 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:15.720 it never really illuminated with me until I understood the historical context of Jesus. 105 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.960 I'm about to get a little of nerdy, but we're going to put some 106 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:28.519 bravey on it and I'll get you going the mindset of reading from Matthew through 107 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.480 Revelation. Remember they used to have those Bibles with the psalms Matthew in Revelation. 108 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.360 They wanted you to have the songs that the psalms would get you all 109 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.799 thinking about God in a certain way. And then Matthew. That was a 110 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:48.679 German German influence on Western Christianity. The German influence on Western Christianity removes Jesus 111 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:56.320 from the Israeli or the Jewish culture and it places Jesus as this other like 112 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:05.639 he has. He comes from this mystical creation, and it really dives him 113 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:13.720 into this avatar of the supernatural without a historical context. Although the lineage is 114 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.039 there, if you don't understand the promise of Seed, then you won't really 115 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:26.399 understand why the lineage of Christ is there. So over your gloss over the 116 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:35.080 fact that Matthew has this long encompassing genealogy of Christ, which proves him as 117 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.240 the son of David, which proves the promise as Christ, the promised son 118 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.480 of David, who will keep the kingdom Foreverwood Paul and Woman's Chapter one says 119 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:52.720 that Christ is of God is concerning God, the son of David declared to 120 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.279 be the son of God. He's the son of David, and he's declared 121 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.759 to be the son of God. So that's important in the genealogy. But 122 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.240 let's get back to the word. So I worried when the scripture came. 123 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:11.279 It begins to it began to ease some of my worry, And I remember 124 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.559 reading it clearly as I could close my eyes. I remember exactly where I 125 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.759 was, and I remember what time it was, early in the morning, 126 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.159 and I remember reading and now I was like, Wow, a crisis is 127 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:33.120 teaching us not to worry? Now, the how to not worried? I 128 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:41.279 was never really taught it. And I read these scriptures and I read the 129 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:50.000 Filippian tech step we took today, but I really didn't understand the process of 130 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:56.080 dealing with the subconscious mind and how the spirit of God deals with the subconscious 131 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:09.480 mind to drive out fear and worry. Being in media, understanding as a 132 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:20.440 marketer, the need to find a person's pain point, the need to speak 133 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.559 to the person needs, wants and or desires, and sometimes they're all equal. 134 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:35.639 To say, understanding who my core audience is, understanding who I'm talking 135 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:43.519 to, I have to drive home a message that now relates to the person 136 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:52.559 and or persons that I really am articulating to. Everyone is not for me 137 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.679 and for my message, but we can all say the same thing and resonate 138 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.080 to other people. So in the sense of anxiety, in the sense of 139 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.240 who Christ was talking to, in a sense of who Paul is talking to, 140 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.519 in a sense of what I would go on to learn. Even though 141 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.759 that scripture calmed me, it really never gave me a blueprint that I can 142 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.399 go back and teach. All I could say to people early in ministry and 143 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.159 for many years in ministries, is that this scripture helped me to understand that 144 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.440 Christ did not want me to worry. But what that scripture did not do 145 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:35.120 was give me the tools to overcome the weight of anxiety. So when I 146 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:45.399 began anxious again, I would feel guilty because Christ said, how can anxiety 147 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.399 or worry at any one Cubic? How can worry add any statue to the 148 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.320 day? How can worry? Let trusting God? If God feeds the foules 149 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.120 of the because when we worry, we usually worry about our assessor. So 150 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.519 God can feed the fouls of the air. I'm talking to somebody. If 151 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.080 God can feed and clothe the grass and make themselves beauty, how much more 152 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.919 can your father? Which isn't it guilty? Do you think that he don't 153 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.759 know that you have need for food? Do you think that he doesn't understand 154 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:26.279 that you have need for clothes? Do he not understand that you have need 155 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.639 for shelter? So what the enemy's job is to get me to the point 156 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.759 where I start using low vibration words like one the body who says the Lord 157 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.600 is my shepherd, he knows of what I have need of I shall not 158 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.240 want. And from the time of birth, when we start asking one another 159 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:54.960 what do you want to be? We start to place these low vibration thought 160 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.360 processes in the mind that causes us to worry. I want to be a 161 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:07.159 doctor, but my path is leading me not to be a doctor. So 162 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.360 I'm worried because this is what I want it to be. I want those 163 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:18.039 shoes, but my income cannot line up with the price of what it is 164 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.399 that I want. I want these things, so because I want them and 165 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.919 I cannot have them, now, I'll leave myself to the place where I 166 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:33.240 shall want or I shall be anxious because my wants are not lining up with 167 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.480 the trajectory of where I am going. But if the Lord is my shepherd 168 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:44.960 and I shall not want, I understand that he knows what I need, 169 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.320 and the steps of a good man, the steps of a good woman I 170 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.320 ordered by the Lord. So in order to overcome the first step in overcoming 171 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.440 the weight of anxiety is to understand that there is no need to want, 172 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:25.119 perceive ourselves desire two accomplish. We feel pressed because we will we count the 173 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:41.519 cost. We don't sit and mount want leads to Coverty. So now I 174 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:51.160 want your relationship. I want to be mentored by you, and if I 175 00:17:51.240 --> 00:18:02.039 can't afford the price, then I want to destroy your character. We understand 176 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:07.480 that God is concerned with all of what we are, all that what we 177 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.240 accomplished, accomplish, and all that we've desired to become. In fact, 178 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:18.559 he loads the desire for us to become in us, and then he places 179 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:25.400 us in the position that we actually become what it is that He has birth 180 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:33.200 inside of us. If we're living within our passion and not within our want, 181 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:41.440 then we will understand that our passion will lead us to the place where 182 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.160 we will be fed, where we will be closed, we will be housed, 183 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:51.880 because we're operating in that which He has birthed inside us to operate. 184 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:57.160 Many of us are operating outside of our passions because we want the status of 185 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:03.000 the nice car. We want the status that comes along with operating as a 186 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.400 bank of when we should be operating in something else. But I can't walk 187 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:14.920 away from that because it won't allow me to live in the means of what 188 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.880 I want to be. I want to be seen, I want to be 189 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:30.480 heard, I want to be whatever I want to be. It doesn't matter 190 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.079 that I'm miserable in doing it, because this thing is helping me to get 191 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:45.240 what I want. Now I'm anxious because I'm miserable. I got the things, 192 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.279 I got, the nice clothes, I got, the social status, 193 00:19:52.359 --> 00:20:03.720 But deep inside, I'm anxious because I'm not living in my purpose. He 194 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:11.640 creates us that we might live in the purpose that he has designed for us 195 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.720 to be. You know how many times I walked away from preaching mentally. 196 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.559 You how many times I said, I don't desire or do this, but 197 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.599 this is not what I called myself to be. So every time I operate 198 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:29.400 outside of that which I called what I am called to be, I'm anxious. 199 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:37.160 I'm fearful. I'm not operating in my means because this is not what 200 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.519 I want to do. I want it to be a musician. I want 201 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.440 it to be this, and I wanted it to be that. And what 202 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.880 I learned is that when I do what I'm called to operate in, everything 203 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:57.279 else that I thought that I wanted to be actually comes to pass. Because 204 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:04.160 when I'm operating and my purpose, there is no anxiety in that because it 205 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:11.319 comes naturally to me Before we get into the text. I want to talk 206 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:22.000 about three things that anxiety causes. Anxiety will cause our health and well being 207 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:32.119 to be compromised. The physical and mental health effects of anxiety can only be 208 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:44.400 addressed with certain tools that does not come from a lack of understanding. These 209 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:53.359 tools come from and understanding anxiety to will cause and impact on our decision making. 210 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.880 When I'm making the decision out of angst, I'm not making a decision 211 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.720 at his well thought out Have you ever made a decision out of worried? 212 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:18.480 Came here, Jacob and he saw, He saw sells his birthright because he's 213 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:37.680 so worried about the under pay. David plays mad at a gate because he's 214 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:52.759 worried about his enemies attacking him. Moses breaks the tablets of stone and has 215 00:22:52.839 --> 00:23:03.000 to rewrite the message that God gave him for his people because he was worried 216 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:12.000 about what the people were doing. Variation will cause us to make horrible with 217 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.640 decisions. If you was to sit down and think about some of the life 218 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:22.839 decisions that we make because of our mind being worried. Some of us have 219 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.960 sold drugs because we was worried about how He's gonna make ends meet. Salt 220 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.759 our bodies because we was worried about how it's gonna take care of our children. 221 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:37.039 We've done things I was the way to worrying that we would not necessarily 222 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:48.440 do if we had the patience that comes quit not worrying, that comes with 223 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:55.640 trust. But worrying for love is a part of the process. Yoh, 224 00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.759 you didn't see that coming. In order for us to really trust in the 225 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:07.519 process, we have to go through the process of worrying that the process that 226 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:15.920 we're trusting in won't come to pass. In order for us to really understand 227 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.920 that he may not come when I wanted, but he'll be there on talent, 228 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.359 we have to go through the process of worrying will he come? Because 229 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.400 what fortifies my faith is the fact that I was worried about something that He 230 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:40.440 already take care of before the foundation of the world. So I learned through 231 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.279 the process of worrying. That's one of the first things, the first steps 232 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:52.000 I learned through the process of worrying, how not to worry, how to 233 00:24:52.079 --> 00:25:00.839 be patient. So worried takes a toll on our health, and well be 234 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:11.839 it, whey takes a toll on our decision, Baker, But worry also 235 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:32.039 takes a toll on our peace, and they're not Text Philippians four, Beginning 236 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:40.880 at the fourth verse, Paul, as he's coming to the conclusion of his 237 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:47.920 letter to the Church of Philippo, gives instruction. And this instruction is intentional. 238 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.319 One. He says, I want you to rejoice in the Lord always. 239 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.640 And anytime that you see repeated phrases the word rejoices repeated in this one 240 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:07.559 verse in the b cause and again I say rejoice. What Paul is doing 241 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:15.160 now is he's setting up that which is next to come. So in order 242 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:21.960 to rejoice, in order to have joy again, in order to have a 243 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:30.559 praise. These are the things that you should set yourself up to be. 244 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:42.920 One, let your moderation be known unto all men. Don't be silent, 245 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:56.599 but let your moderation be known to everybody. In other words, share second 246 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:11.640 thing, be anxious for nothing. I was talking to a friend of mine 247 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:22.240 who had an incident at a church some months ago concerning given. He finally 248 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:27.839 found the church that he enjoyed. This was the second church in his lifetime 249 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.839 that he joined. Calls me all the time and he's telling me about this 250 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.440 church and about the worship experience. This is not the first second church that 251 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:45.759 he has been to, second church in his lifetime that he's joined, fellowshiping 252 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:56.319 with the men there is finally joins the church, goes through the classes, 253 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:03.599 they have new members classes. He goes through the classes and at the end 254 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.640 of the class, within the application process, which is it's a new thing. 255 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.480 I don't know about application processes become a member of the large church, 256 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:19.519 but this is their local assembly. So the application process it comes a part 257 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.759 of the given the type and the question said are you a tiger and if 258 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.000 not, why He said, I haven't come to that point of my faith 259 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.160 where i'm I'll do that, and he was honest about it. A couple 260 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:42.319 of weeks later, this is the first encounter there's a large assembly, first 261 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.599 encounter that he's ever had with the pastor because he had small group pastor. 262 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:55.000 The pastor calls him away. He's rather tall and he was a g reader 263 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.799 at the church. He says, hey, man, I came across your 264 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:07.839 application and I noticed that you putting it that you don't tie that truly said 265 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.440 yeah, I didn't want to lie out of it. I'm not at that 266 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.920 point yet where I've started to tie. I'm a part of the church, 267 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.440 and I'm willing to learn and I'm willing to grow. He said, what 268 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:26.880 I'm gonna do is hold your application until you get to the place where you 269 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:32.359 are willing to give a tent of your earner. And he called me. 270 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.759 Destruct came now because I'm his friend, and I'll past him. We talk 271 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.599 about stuff like this, but I don't push my beliefs on anybody or anything. 272 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:48.039 And he was clearly upset. His first interaction with the lead pastor was 273 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.279 not one that was becoming. The next week, he went to another church, 274 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.880 but he didn't feel comfortable. He wanted to go back to his church, 275 00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:06.519 but he by means felt disrespected and he was hurt. And his testimony 276 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.200 concerning that situation was not a good one, and it bothered him, and 277 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.240 he was worried about it, and he was worried about what how this would 278 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:21.160 impact him and what it would do for someone else who didn't come from the 279 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:22.720 same background, who didn't have it, for an as pastor that he can 280 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:29.559 consult in or didn't, And that situation wound up being resolved that he wound 281 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.799 up going back to the church because his lead pastor noticed that he wasn't around, 282 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.160 and they wound up dealing with the situation. But that is that the 283 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.079 impact that we want to have when we are allowing our moderation being known to 284 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:52.960 men that was so anxious about someone else's given to the local church, that 285 00:30:53.119 --> 00:31:00.400 we will offend them and our encounter with them, that we as the peace 286 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.440 of God, the Vox day, the voice of God, who represents God 287 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:11.599 in their presence. Our only concern is what you give in the offering. 288 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:18.279 Ply that no other service that you render, nothing else that you do that 289 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:25.039 we're anxious, that we're so greedy, that was nervous about the making a 290 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.000 budget, that we stopped trusting in God. See, when we're anxious about 291 00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.200 these things, what we're saying to the world, what we're saying to the 292 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:36.559 enemy, what we're saying to ourselves, is we can't trust God to meet 293 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:42.079 bottom line. Come in around. I was pastor in a local church and 294 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.240 we were our overhead was bigger than our income. And I remember talking to 295 00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:53.240 someone who whose budget was ten times the size of mine, and I was 296 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.839 saying, Oh my, how do you do it? And I was coming 297 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.759 as servant in the Lord, trying to find out the recipe, trying to 298 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.359 figure out the blueprint. What is it? And he said, we both 299 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:13.200 have faith. Somebody's faith is just a bit greater than the other person. 300 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:29.000 I believe God for a million dollars budget, and you believe God for your 301 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:39.559 million dollars. The mindset shift happens when we're dealing with the anxious mind, 302 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.519 because the anxious mind is looking at the thing that is in front of it. 303 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:50.160 When we become anxious, what we're seeing is the doctor's report. When 304 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:54.440 we become anxious, what we're seeing is the budget. When we become anxious, 305 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.759 what we're seeing is all of the truth that stands in front of us. 306 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:06.559 But what we don't see is the super not you truth that is invisible 307 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.720 to us. When we are anxious, we're seeing the enemy with the gun. 308 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:15.279 When our anxious, we're seeing the lion and the den. When we 309 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.039 got anxious, we're seeing the furnace and the fire. When we are anxious, 310 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:24.319 we're seeing the plot playing out in front of us. We heard of 311 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.759 the testimony of the bully, how he beat up everyone. We hear the 312 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:35.000 testimony of David and Goliath. And then here comes little David, the ruddy 313 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:40.400 little boy that wasn't even thought about as being in the running to be selected 314 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.440 as the king. He's saying to his brothers, he's saying to the Israeli 315 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.400 army. He's saying to his kinsmen, who are you afraid of? Do 316 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:57.079 you not understand the God that I served? The anxious mind doesn't understand who 317 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:01.000 we serve. The anxious mind is only looking at the thing that's in front 318 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:05.079 of it. And the thing that's in front of it seems so big. 319 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.880 Have you ever had a problem that seems so big? Bigger than you, 320 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:14.920 bigger than your finances, bigger than your mindset can comprehend and wrap itself around, 321 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.000 Bigger than what it is that you have ever had to deal with? 322 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:29.880 The weightiness of this thing now causes us to say I can't overcome it. 323 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:39.320 So, Paul, it's not enough for you to tell me be anxious for 324 00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:49.480 nothing. Christ, is not enough for you to tell me don't worry about 325 00:34:49.559 --> 00:35:00.000 anything. I need some instruction on it how not to be anxious? Can 326 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:07.400 you give me a blueprint on how not to worry about everything? I can't 327 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:12.719 get behind the sacred desk and just tell the Mother trust and God He's gonna 328 00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:20.960 feed you. Because there ought to be some substantial evidence there ought to be 329 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.320 a blueprint. Sometimes the person that's sitting in the pew won't even let you 330 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.599 know what their anxieties are because they're too afraid that if they opened up and 331 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.679 told you about the little girl or the little boy inside of them that's still 332 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:38.599 afraid to take chances and risk that you would laugh them out of the room. 333 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:43.880 Because we don't have compassion for people. We don't have that stet festiveness 334 00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:46.519 that we the mothers of old used to have. We don't have that steady 335 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:51.880 hand. We don't have that long suffering that Christ even has with us, 336 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.119 and he displays on a daily and day out basis, a day in and 337 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:02.480 day out basis. We don't have that discretion anymore. We are so quick 338 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.840 to post everything on social media, is so quick to out people, so 339 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:13.800 quick to embarrass people for social status, so that we can make ourselves feel 340 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:19.320 big as we decrease other people and minimize them in our dealing. We don't 341 00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:27.719 have that kind of compassion that is required of us, to be mindful of 342 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:44.079 the things of others, to communicate, to give to those that's what you 343 00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.039 mean, Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is here. 344 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.440 The Lord is at here. Be careful, be anxious for nothing, 345 00:36:52.079 --> 00:37:01.559 how but in everything by prayer. Remember, the whole root of this series 346 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:14.159 is wrapped around prayer. So the meditative mind, the praying mind, moves 347 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:24.400 us from the place of where we are or what we see. When we 348 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:30.320 read the prayers of David, he says stuff like, when my enemies come 349 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:37.199 in like a flood and encamp themselves around me. He says stuff like the 350 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:45.719 Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? He says 351 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:50.320 stuff like, if I make my bed down and Hell, he'll be there. 352 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.760 The Lord is at hand. If I make my bed in heaven, 353 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:59.880 he will be there. So he's given himself and his psyche and his self 354 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:05.360 conscious mind an alternative to the enemy that's in front of it. He's given 355 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.519 himself an alternative to the darkness that's in front of him. He's given himself 356 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:14.960 an alternative to the need that's in front of him. The Lord is my 357 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:22.800 shepherd, I shall not want. He's giving himself a whole new narrative through 358 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:30.000 prayer that will shape his real reality. Because what a man think himself to 359 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:35.519 be, that is what they will become. So if I'm wrapped in subconscious 360 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:40.559 thought processes where I'm talking negative to myself, where I'm talking down to myself, 361 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:45.880 where every time I make a mistake, I'm calling myself negative names and 362 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:52.840 repeating and rehearsing that somebody else already said about me. And instead of calling 363 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.159 myself what God has called me to be the head and not to tell the 364 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:01.000 light of the world, the salt of the earth, the Linda, and 365 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:05.480 not to borrow. If I'm saying I'm all my mother was for my daddy's 366 00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:07.519 born. Now I'm born, I can't get my credit right. I can't 367 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.320 get this together. I can't get myself together. My mother was sick, 368 00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:14.960 I'm sick. My father died at forty. I'm turning thirty nine. I'm 369 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:20.480 worried at thirty eight about what's gonna happen at forty. But the new narrative 370 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.880 inside of me, the new DNA inside of me, is pressing towards the 371 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.840 mark of the high calling, which is in Christ. In me all, 372 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.880 I'm forgetting those things which are behind me, and I'm pressing towards the mark 373 00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:39.360 of the high calling narrative that comes along with prayers. So the first thing 374 00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:45.360 that I have to fixed. In order to fix my anxious life. It 375 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:51.920 is my prayer life. I can't give nobody else responsibility over that part of 376 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:58.039 my relationship. I can't give nobody else that responsibility over shaping my subconscious thought 377 00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:01.079 process, because I have to give my suffer a new narrative for every time 378 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:06.239 I think those negative and anxious thoughts. I have to now think of something 379 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:08.840 lovely, think of something pure. I have to think of something that God 380 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:16.039 has already done for me right before we came into service. I've noticed that 381 00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:22.159 my new classes were messed up, and I began to get angry, and 382 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:28.719 I began to lament, and I began to wonder how I began to be 383 00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.079 anxious. I just got these glasses, and I mean, and I started 384 00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:37.199 to laugh at myself because I said, here, you are about to preach 385 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:45.199 a message on anxiety, a message on overcoming something, and you're about to 386 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:51.239 be overcome with anger, overcome with Oh my god, I can't get another 387 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.000 pair of glasses for a whole another Yeah, and you're about to go through 388 00:40:53.079 --> 00:41:00.719 this whole entire thought process, the psychological of ramble, this thing that's happening 389 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.800 inside of you over something that can probably be fixed until you explore all the 390 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:13.199 options. That's what prayer does. It is allowed us to explore all the 391 00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.760 options. You remember, y'all can go back and listen. Hannah, when 392 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:22.400 she's bearing and she doesn't have a child, she becomes creative and she says, 393 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.320 Lord, if you give me the son, if you give me not 394 00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:27.840 just a child, but if you give me a boy child, I'll give 395 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.360 him back to you. I'll make the sacrifice. You remember Solomon, he 396 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:35.320 becomes wise when God comes to him and say, what is it that you 397 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:38.480 want for me? He says, I understand that you're merciful, I understand 398 00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.960 that you're all knowing, But if you can give me wisdom to deal with 399 00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:46.960 the thing that you called me to become. He's asking for something out of 400 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:52.360 his mindset that will cause him to benefit, not just him, but he 401 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.119 wants to be able to benefit those that are around. And when we pray, 402 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:01.519 our imagination begins to broaden, our mind begins to broad and we're not 403 00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.960 praying from either the left side of the brain or the right side of the 404 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.360 brain, but we're meditating and we're thinking from all that God has done for 405 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.119 us, how he breathes the life of breath inside of us, and though 406 00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:20.480 don't begin to become understanding about the art of breathing and the impact that breathing 407 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:24.280 has on the common of the nervous system, taking out the inflammation out of 408 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:30.159 our bodies. Don't become flexible in the body and become flexible in the minds. 409 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.599 See all of this mind body connectivity that happens in the life of the 410 00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.599 believer that should be happening. Oh, don't have a great diet where your 411 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:43.920 digestive system is working properly, and don't get enough sleep where all things that 412 00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:49.960 are necessary that keeps us away from variation. Don't have positive thought processes where 413 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:54.000 you're not really holding on to the things that are happening around us negative negative, 414 00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:58.880 Wise, if you're not holding onto the hurt of the past, but 415 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.400 you're pressing the future. Don't have all of this stuff happening in your life 416 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:07.679 and now you act on top of it. Prayer life all man, you're 417 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:21.599 on your way to something great. I tell you he gives a blue print. 418 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:24.920 I want you to say a blue print if you have a pen and 419 00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:37.559 you have a paper that I'm not I'm not super intellectual I'm just gonna read 420 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:45.400 what's on a paper. Philippians four six p anxious for nothing. Don't worry 421 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:51.320 about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Got to 422 00:43:51.400 --> 00:44:00.159 have a gratitude practice. Got to have a gratitude practice. We don't count 423 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:06.239 our blessings. We always want to count the problems. That's the next step 424 00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:09.159 to overcoming anxiety is that every time I start to look at what I don't 425 00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:14.639 have, let me start to appreciate God for what I do have. The 426 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:20.719 mothers of old used to say, I thank God for the activities of my 427 00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:29.800 limbs, the movement in my hands. I thank God for the vibration and 428 00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:35.360 thanksgiving. Now watch this. Let your requests be made known to God. 429 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:42.360 Don't worry about nothing. Verse four. He ends. Verse six, he 430 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.920 ends with let your request be made known to God. And this is the 431 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:54.960 result. And the peace of God, which passed all understanding, shall keep 432 00:44:55.039 --> 00:45:01.840 your heart and your mind through Christ. I didn't read this, but here's 433 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:08.679 the caveat. Finally, Brother, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are 434 00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:15.559 honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are 435 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:20.360 lovely, whatsoever things are a good report? If there be any virtue, 436 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:25.280 if there be any praise, think on those things in order to combat my 437 00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:30.679 anxiety thought process, in order to combat the thing that I'm anxious about. 438 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:39.800 I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 439 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.159 eight, eight things that you can put in place. I often take 440 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:51.400 teach people if you're gonna have one anxious thought for every one inchious thought, 441 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.039 I need you to overcome it by thinking of two or three positive things. 442 00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:00.119 But what Paul is saying, be anxious for enough think and this is what 443 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:05.480 I want you to think about. One think of those things which are truth. 444 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.320 Two, think of those things which you are honest. Three, think 445 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:15.079 of those things which are just. Four think of those things which a lovely. 446 00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:20.920 Five think of those things which you are a good report. Six if 447 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.199 there be any virtue, if there be any praise, I said eight is 448 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:30.639 six things, Think on those things, those things which you have learned, 449 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:35.719 and those things which you ever received, if you ever received it, those 450 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.840 things which you heard, and those things that you've seen. Who have you 451 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.519 seen it in? You might not have seen it in anybody else, but 452 00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:53.239 Paul said, you've seen it in me. How do we overcome the weight 453 00:46:53.800 --> 00:47:00.199 of anxiety? We overcome the weight of anxiety in the same place that the 454 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:09.639 anxiety is birthed and the mind. Subconscious mind never goes to sleep. If 455 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:15.840 I go to sleep worrying about something, I'm gonna wake up worrying about something. 456 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:19.719 But if I go to sleep thinking on those things that Paul just laid 457 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:23.719 out, I'm gonna wake up thinking on those things that he laid out. 458 00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:29.800 If I go to sleep activating the subconscious thought process with things that are lovely 459 00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:34.800 and pure. If I go to sleep activating the subconscious mindset of things that 460 00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.480 are healthy. My affirmations, the things that I'm affirming to myself is that 461 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:44.760 which God has says concerning my health and my well being. God is concerned 462 00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:50.440 about my relationships. God is concerned about what I eat. God is concerned 463 00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:54.559 about how I consume. God is concerned about how I walk. God is 464 00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:59.840 concerned about me, which is why he says, I'll never leave you, 465 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.800 nor will I forsake you. What the enemy wants us to think, and 466 00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.719 that's why we begin to become anxious, is that he does not care about 467 00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.559 Your Daddy didn't care, so why would your father in heaven care? Your 468 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:15.400 mother left you. You are abandoning you with this, but that the naysayers 469 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.599 will always be there to push us close to the God that they say us 470 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:24.320 don't come to help us lock in the God. That may sayers come to 471 00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.480 bring us away from God, But what they wind up doing is bringing us 472 00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:34.599 closer to God. They draw us near unto Him, because all they want 473 00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:44.159 to do is may say, what is there anybody here as we close that 474 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:52.840 can start to apply these things to think about to overcome the anxiety that dwells 475 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:59.280 within. There's other twols, there's other things that we can do. But 476 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:08.679 the Bible says, think on those things which are true? Whatsoever? Things 477 00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.800 that are aren't? Whatsoever? Things that are just? What'so are things that 478 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:15.320 are pure? What's the other things that I loved you? What's the other 479 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.239 things that I have a good report? There'll be any virtue, if there'll 480 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:23.639 be any praise, thank God. Those things, those things that you have 481 00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:31.280 both learned, not just experienced, those things which you have received, those 482 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:37.760 things that you have heard and seen in me, and the God of Peace 483 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:52.039 shall be good. My question is if God before you, who now can 484 00:49:52.159 --> 00:50:01.119 be against your spirit of the most God, we surrender all go overcome the 485 00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:10.920 anxious mind in the same battlefield that the anxious mind is attempted to control. 486 00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:17.880 For you are our shepherd, and we shall not render control unto season. 487 00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:25.079 Oh anxiety, you can live in the house, but you only compare it. 488 00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.760 You don't own me. Fear you can live with me is a part 489 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:35.679 of my growth process, but you cannot control. We rebuked the spirit of 490 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:37.119 fear. We were rebuked the spirit of the pressure. We were spute the 491 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:43.320 spirit of anxiety.
