I want to talk to you today about the antidote for
00:01:18.902 --> 00:01:20.136
About the antidote for anxiety. we all have
00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:22.372
Anxiety. we all have opportunities to live
00:01:22.438 --> 00:01:23.673
Opportunities to live anxious, worried about the
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:25.475
Anxious, worried about the future, wondering what's
00:01:25.542 --> 00:01:27.210
Future, wondering what's going to happen with our
00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:27.977
Going to happen with our children, our finances, our
00:01:28.044 --> 00:01:29.913
Children, our finances, our health. there's always
00:01:29.979 --> 00:01:31.514
Health. there's always something trying to steal our
00:01:31.581 --> 00:01:32.916
Something trying to steal our peace. if you watch the news,
00:01:32.982 --> 00:01:35.285
Peace. if you watch the news, you hear about inflation,
00:01:35.351 --> 00:01:37.120
You hear about inflation, violence, wars, division. a
00:01:37.187 --> 00:01:40.323
Violence, wars, division. a recent article talked about
00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:41.691
Recent article talked about how we're in an epidemic of
00:01:41.758 --> 00:01:43.493
How we're in an epidemic of anxiety. there's never been
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.628
Anxiety. there's never been so much coming against our
00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:47.363
So much coming against our mental health. but that's not
00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:49.499
Mental health. but that's not the way we were created to
00:01:49.566 --> 00:01:50.800
The way we were created to live. the scripture says,
00:01:50.867 --> 00:01:53.069
Live. the scripture says, “cast all your anxieties on
00:01:53.136 --> 00:01:55.605
“cast all your anxieties on him.” one antidote for
00:01:55.672 --> 00:01:57.707
Him.” one antidote for anxiety is you have to give
00:01:57.774 --> 00:01:59.509
Anxiety is you have to give it to god. you can't go
00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.511
It to god. you can't go around carrying everything,
00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:03.446
Around carrying everything, trying to figure it all out.
00:02:03.513 --> 00:02:05.281
Trying to figure it all out. living in tomorrow, wondering
00:02:05.348 --> 00:02:07.283
Living in tomorrow, wondering how it's going to work out.
00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:09.118
How it's going to work out. “what if my health doesn't
00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:10.153
“what if my health doesn't improve, what if my company
00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:12.155
Improve, what if my company has layoffs, this family
00:02:12.222 --> 00:02:14.257
Has layoffs, this family member did me wrong, i've got
00:02:14.324 --> 00:02:15.658
Member did me wrong, i've got to fix that.” you're weighing
00:02:15.725 --> 00:02:17.493
To fix that.” you're weighing yourself down, carrying
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.562
Yourself down, carrying things you were never meant
00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:20.964
Things you were never meant to carry. that's why you can
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.699
To carry. that's why you can feel worn out, not able to
00:02:22.765 --> 00:02:24.534
Feel worn out, not able to sleep at night. do yourself a
00:02:24.601 --> 00:02:26.603
Sleep at night. do yourself a favor and start casting those
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:28.871
Favor and start casting those anxieties. they're going to
00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:30.440
Anxieties. they're going to come, but if you're going to
00:02:30.506 --> 00:02:32.075
Come, but if you're going to stay in peace, you have to
00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:33.576
Stay in peace, you have to get good at turning them over
00:02:33.643 --> 00:02:35.378
Get good at turning them over to god. the word cast is an
00:02:35.445 --> 00:02:37.880
To god. the word cast is an action word. when you're
00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:39.482
Action word. when you're fishing, you cast the rod.
00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:41.484
Fishing, you cast the rod. it's not a complacent,
00:02:41.551 --> 00:02:43.419
It's not a complacent, underhand, let me just
00:02:43.486 --> 00:02:44.387
Underhand, let me just toss it out there. no, you
00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:45.722
Toss it out there. no, you forcefully swing your arm,
00:02:45.788 --> 00:02:47.924
Forcefully swing your arm, aggressively flick your
00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.525
Aggressively flick your wrist. there's action,
00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:51.127
Wrist. there's action, energy. in the same way,
00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.563
Energy. in the same way, anxiety is not going to just
00:02:53.630 --> 00:02:55.331
Anxiety is not going to just fall off of you. worry is not
00:02:55.398 --> 00:02:57.634
Fall off of you. worry is not going to go away on its own.
00:02:57.700 --> 00:02:59.602
Going to go away on its own. you can't just sit back and
00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:00.870
You can't just sit back and hope that things will change.
00:03:00.937 --> 00:03:02.839
Hope that things will change. you have to do some casting.
00:03:02.905 --> 00:03:05.208
You have to do some casting. when thoughts come, “what's
00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:06.809
When thoughts come, “what's going to happen with your
00:03:06.876 --> 00:03:07.644
Going to happen with your children? there are so many
00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:09.245
Children? there are so many distractions these days.
00:03:09.312 --> 00:03:10.680
Distractions these days. they're going to probably get
00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:11.514
They're going to probably get in trouble.” you can dwell on
00:03:11.581 --> 00:03:13.549
In trouble.” you can dwell on those thoughts, let them
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.118
Those thoughts, let them weigh you down, cause you to
00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:16.819
Weigh you down, cause you to live anxious. or you can say,
00:03:16.886 --> 00:03:19.055
Live anxious. or you can say, “no thanks, my children are
00:03:19.122 --> 00:03:20.790
“no thanks, my children are in god's hands. father thank
00:03:20.857 --> 00:03:22.759
In god's hands. father thank you that you're protecting
00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:23.893
You that you're protecting them, causing them to make
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.361
Them, causing them to make good decisions, that as for
00:03:25.428 --> 00:03:27.196
Good decisions, that as for me and my house we will serve
00:03:27.263 --> 00:03:28.965
Me and my house we will serve the lord.” you know what you
00:03:29.032 --> 00:03:30.733
The lord.” you know what you did? you just cast those
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.402
Did? you just cast those anxieties on him. “have
00:03:32.468 --> 00:03:34.837
Anxieties on him. “have you seen the news about
00:03:34.904 --> 00:03:36.005
You seen the news about the economy, inflation, gas
00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:38.808
The economy, inflation, gas prices? what if things keep
00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.643
Prices? what if things keep going up, what if your
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:42.245
Going up, what if your business doesn't make it,
00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:43.613
Business doesn't make it, what if you can't pay your
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.547
What if you can't pay your bills.” the enemy would love
00:03:44.614 --> 00:03:46.683
Bills.” the enemy would love for you to worry about things
00:03:46.749 --> 00:03:48.418
For you to worry about things that are never going to
00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:49.285
That are never going to happen. he would love for you
00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.321
Happen. he would love for you to miss the beauty of this
00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:52.722
To miss the beauty of this day because you're so anxious
00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:54.724
Day because you're so anxious about tomorrow. don't fall
00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:56.526
About tomorrow. don't fall into that trap. god has not
00:03:56.592 --> 00:03:58.361
Into that trap. god has not failed you in the past and
00:03:58.428 --> 00:03:59.896
Failed you in the past and he's not going to fail you
00:03:59.962 --> 00:04:00.763
He's not going to fail you now. my father used to say
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:03.099
Now. my father used to say when i was growing up, “if
00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:04.600
When i was growing up, “if bread goes to a dollar a loaf
00:04:04.667 --> 00:04:06.836
Bread goes to a dollar a loaf and gasoline to a dollar a
00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:08.538
And gasoline to a dollar a gallon, god will take care
00:04:08.604 --> 00:04:10.006
Gallon, god will take care of us.” if daddy could see
00:04:10.073 --> 00:04:12.008
Of us.” if daddy could see us now. god is faithful. let
00:04:12.075 --> 00:04:14.844
Us now. god is faithful. let me tell you, if prices go
00:04:14.911 --> 00:04:16.312
Me tell you, if prices go up, the good news is god's
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:18.414
Up, the good news is god's provision is going to go up.
00:04:18.481 --> 00:04:20.616
Provision is going to go up. god is not up in heaven
00:04:20.683 --> 00:04:22.885
God is not up in heaven saying, “man, i didn't see
00:04:22.952 --> 00:04:23.853
Saying, “man, i didn't see this coming. i didn't know
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.588
This coming. i didn't know inflation was going to be
00:04:25.655 --> 00:04:26.522
Inflation was going to be this high.” god owns it all.
00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:28.725
This high.” god owns it all. he makes streets out of gold.
00:04:28.791 --> 00:04:30.760
He makes streets out of gold. you get stressed looking at
00:04:30.827 --> 00:04:32.195
You get stressed looking at the future, anticipating the
00:04:32.261 --> 00:04:34.330
The future, anticipating the worst, higher cost, higher
00:04:34.397 --> 00:04:36.599
Worst, higher cost, higher bills. what you're not
00:04:36.666 --> 00:04:38.067
Bills. what you're not anticipating is the goodness
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:40.036
Anticipating is the goodness of god. david said, “i was
00:04:40.103 --> 00:04:42.271
Of god. david said, “i was young and now i'm old and i
00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.806
Young and now i'm old and i have never once seen the
00:04:43.873 --> 00:04:45.007
Have never once seen the righteous forsaken.” instead
00:04:45.074 --> 00:04:47.243
Righteous forsaken.” instead of carrying that anxiety, do
00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:48.878
Of carrying that anxiety, do yourself a favor, start
00:04:48.945 --> 00:04:50.480
Yourself a favor, start casting it.
00:04:50.546 --> 00:04:52.081
Casting it. i read where the largest
00:04:52.148 --> 00:04:53.282
I read where the largest increase in anxiety is among
00:04:53.349 --> 00:04:55.251
Increase in anxiety is among young people. there's so much
00:04:55.318 --> 00:04:57.286
Young people. there's so much pressure these days. with
00:04:57.353 --> 00:04:58.688
Pressure these days. with social media. there's the
00:04:58.755 --> 00:05:00.523
Social media. there's the comparison. “am i good
00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:02.592
Comparison. “am i good enough, pretty enough, smart
00:05:02.658 --> 00:05:05.161
Enough, pretty enough, smart enough? do i have enough
00:05:05.228 --> 00:05:06.396
Enough? do i have enough followers, am i popular?” if
00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:09.532
Followers, am i popular?” if you fall into that trap,
00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:11.167
You fall into that trap, you'll never feel good about
00:05:11.234 --> 00:05:12.368
You'll never feel good about yourself. because you'll
00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:13.736
Yourself. because you'll always see someone that's
00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:15.238
Always see someone that's more talented, more
00:05:15.304 --> 00:05:16.606
More talented, more beautiful, more successful.
00:05:16.672 --> 00:05:18.908
Beautiful, more successful. there will be this pressure
00:05:18.975 --> 00:05:20.109
There will be this pressure to outperform, outdress, have
00:05:20.176 --> 00:05:23.246
To outperform, outdress, have more friends, more talents,
00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.647
More friends, more talents, more compliments. that's a
00:05:24.714 --> 00:05:26.315
More compliments. that's a never-ending cycle. that's
00:05:26.382 --> 00:05:28.651
Never-ending cycle. that's not only going to wear you
00:05:28.718 --> 00:05:29.752
Not only going to wear you out, take your joy, your
00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:31.587
Out, take your joy, your peace, but you'll miss who
00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:33.856
Peace, but you'll miss who you were created to be,
00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:35.558
You were created to be, trying to keep up with
00:05:35.625 --> 00:05:36.592
Trying to keep up with everyone else. take that
00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:38.795
Everyone else. take that pressure off yourself. that's
00:05:38.861 --> 00:05:40.730
Pressure off yourself. that's what's causing anxiety. “how
00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:43.166
What's causing anxiety. “how can i keep up?” you don't
00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:44.767
Can i keep up?” you don't have to keep up. you're not
00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:46.569
Have to keep up. you're not competing with them. run your
00:05:46.636 --> 00:05:48.438
Competing with them. run your race. be who god made you to
00:05:48.504 --> 00:05:50.440
Race. be who god made you to be. “i can't do what they can
00:05:50.506 --> 00:05:53.009
Be. “i can't do what they can do.” they can't do what you
00:05:53.075 --> 00:05:54.577
Do.” they can't do what you can do. you're talented,
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:56.179
Can do. you're talented, you're gifted. “they're so
00:05:56.245 --> 00:05:57.814
You're gifted. “they're so beautiful.” you're so
00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:59.148
Beautiful.” you're so beautiful. you're a
00:05:59.215 --> 00:06:00.283
Beautiful. you're a masterpiece. you're made in
00:06:00.349 --> 00:06:02.084
Masterpiece. you're made in the image of god. “they're
00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:04.120
The image of god. “they're more popular.” popularity is
00:06:04.187 --> 00:06:06.389
More popular.” popularity is fleeting. it can change in a
00:06:06.456 --> 00:06:08.291
Fleeting. it can change in a minute.
00:06:08.357 --> 00:06:08.925
Minute. in psalm 55, david was
00:06:08.991 --> 00:06:11.627
In psalm 55, david was dealing with anxiety. he
00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:13.763
Dealing with anxiety. he said, “i'm overwhelmed with
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:15.398
Said, “i'm overwhelmed with trouble. my enemies are
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:17.233
Trouble. my enemies are making loud threats. my heart
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.402
Making loud threats. my heart is anxious, with so much fear
00:06:19.469 --> 00:06:21.737
Is anxious, with so much fear and trembling, i can't stop
00:06:21.804 --> 00:06:23.406
And trembling, i can't stop shaking.” that's some serious
00:06:23.473 --> 00:06:25.808
Shaking.” that's some serious anxiety. david was a warrior.
00:06:25.875 --> 00:06:28.878
Anxiety. david was a warrior. he had defeated goliath,
00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:30.680
He had defeated goliath, conquered cities, led the
00:06:30.746 --> 00:06:32.482
Conquered cities, led the israelites into great
00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:33.616
Israelites into great victories. but now he's
00:06:33.683 --> 00:06:35.451
Victories. but now he's overwhelmed, so anxious that
00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:38.054
Overwhelmed, so anxious that he can't move forward.
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.056
He can't move forward. dealing with anxiety doesn't
00:06:40.122 --> 00:06:41.891
Dealing with anxiety doesn't mean that you're weak, you
00:06:41.958 --> 00:06:43.493
Mean that you're weak, you don't have enough faith, you
00:06:43.559 --> 00:06:45.127
Don't have enough faith, you must have done something
00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:46.095
Must have done something wrong. the enemy wouldn't
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:47.964
Wrong. the enemy wouldn't be trying to stop you if he
00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:49.799
Be trying to stop you if he didn't know there was a
00:06:49.866 --> 00:06:50.967
Didn't know there was a calling on your life. he
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:53.069
Calling on your life. he knows there's greatness in
00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:54.670
Knows there's greatness in you, that you're on the verge
00:06:54.737 --> 00:06:56.472
You, that you're on the verge of seeing a new level. that's
00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:58.708
Of seeing a new level. that's why he'll try to make you
00:06:58.774 --> 00:06:59.675
Why he'll try to make you feel overwhelmed, worried
00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:01.644
Feel overwhelmed, worried about the future, thinking
00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.246
About the future, thinking it's not going to work out.
00:07:03.312 --> 00:07:05.047
It's not going to work out. thoughts will tell you, “it's
00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:06.282
Thoughts will tell you, “it's never going to change. you'll
00:07:06.349 --> 00:07:08.017
Never going to change. you'll always have to deal with this
00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:09.285
Always have to deal with this anxiety.” don't believe those
00:07:09.352 --> 00:07:11.187
Anxiety.” don't believe those lies. the anxiety is not
00:07:11.254 --> 00:07:13.523
Lies. the anxiety is not permanent. it's not going to
00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:15.391
Permanent. it's not going to last forever. it's a season.
00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:18.394
Last forever. it's a season. this too shall pass.
00:07:18.461 --> 00:07:20.596
This too shall pass. sometimes god will bring you
00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:22.632
Sometimes god will bring you out quickly. other times,
00:07:22.698 --> 00:07:25.001
Out quickly. other times, he'll take you little by
00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:26.002
He'll take you little by little. don't be discouraged
00:07:26.068 --> 00:07:28.237
Little. don't be discouraged if you don't see anything
00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:29.338
If you don't see anything changing. god is working.
00:07:29.405 --> 00:07:31.908
Changing. god is working. every day you need to
00:07:31.974 --> 00:07:32.975
Every day you need to declare, “i'm getting better.
00:07:33.042 --> 00:07:35.077
Declare, “i'm getting better. my mind is at peace. my heart
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:37.113
My mind is at peace. my heart is at rest. i am free from
00:07:37.179 --> 00:07:39.015
Is at rest. i am free from this anxiety.”
00:07:39.081 --> 00:07:40.716
This anxiety.” david had been attacked by
00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:42.285
David had been attacked by king saul, attacked by his
00:07:42.351 --> 00:07:44.353
King saul, attacked by his son absolom, attacked in the
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.522
Son absolom, attacked in the city of ziglag. he handled
00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:48.758
City of ziglag. he handled those attacks well. he went
00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:50.259
Those attacks well. he went out and defeated and
00:07:50.326 --> 00:07:51.627
Out and defeated and recovered and was victorious.
00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:54.130
Recovered and was victorious. but when anxiety attacked, it
00:07:54.196 --> 00:07:56.165
But when anxiety attacked, it was a different story. he
00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:57.934
Was a different story. he didn't think he could go on.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.136
Didn't think he could go on. the most powerful attacks are
00:08:00.202 --> 00:08:01.837
The most powerful attacks are not physical but mental.
00:08:01.904 --> 00:08:04.440
Not physical but mental. that's why the enemy works
00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:05.675
That's why the enemy works overtime in the mind.
00:08:05.741 --> 00:08:07.510
Overtime in the mind. anxiety, fear, worry. “it's
00:08:07.577 --> 00:08:10.947
Anxiety, fear, worry. “it's not going to work out. you'll
00:08:11.013 --> 00:08:12.848
Not going to work out. you'll never get well. you'll always
00:08:12.915 --> 00:08:15.017
Never get well. you'll always be alone. what are you going
00:08:15.084 --> 00:08:16.052
Be alone. what are you going to do.” david was sitting
00:08:16.118 --> 00:08:18.487
To do.” david was sitting there overwhelmed, shaking,
00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:20.723
There overwhelmed, shaking, believing the lies of the
00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:22.124
Believing the lies of the enemy. this anxiety attack
00:08:22.191 --> 00:08:24.694
Enemy. this anxiety attack could have been the end of
00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:25.728
Could have been the end of david's story. this could be
00:08:25.795 --> 00:08:27.396
David's story. this could be the last time we read about
00:08:27.463 --> 00:08:28.764
The last time we read about him. the anxiety won and he
00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:31.133
Him. the anxiety won and he faded off into the sunset.
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:33.569
Faded off into the sunset. no, david did something that
00:08:33.636 --> 00:08:35.071
No, david did something that we all must do. when anxiety
00:08:35.137 --> 00:08:37.640
We all must do. when anxiety attacked, instead of just
00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:39.442
Attacked, instead of just sitting there, he said in
00:08:39.508 --> 00:08:40.810
Sitting there, he said in verse 16, “i will call on the
00:08:40.876 --> 00:08:43.245
Verse 16, “i will call on the name of the lord and he will
00:08:43.312 --> 00:08:45.214
Name of the lord and he will rescue me. he will keep me
00:08:45.281 --> 00:08:47.083
Rescue me. he will keep me safe from the battle raged
00:08:47.149 --> 00:08:48.851
Safe from the battle raged against me.” when anxiety
00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:51.487
Against me.” when anxiety attacks, often we call our
00:08:51.554 --> 00:08:53.522
Attacks, often we call our friends, call our neighbor,
00:08:53.589 --> 00:08:55.291
Friends, call our neighbor, call our parents. that's all
00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:56.359
Call our parents. that's all fine, but you need to make
00:08:56.425 --> 00:08:58.027
Fine, but you need to make sure you call on the name of
00:08:58.094 --> 00:08:59.895
Sure you call on the name of the lord. call on the god who
00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:02.164
The lord. call on the god who created you. call on the god
00:09:02.231 --> 00:09:04.667
Created you. call on the god who brings dead things back
00:09:04.734 --> 00:09:06.002
Who brings dead things back to life. call on the god who
00:09:06.068 --> 00:09:08.137
To life. call on the god who is more powerful than any
00:09:08.204 --> 00:09:09.939
Is more powerful than any force that's trying to stop
00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:11.240
Force that's trying to stop you.
00:09:11.307 --> 00:09:12.241
You. he said in psalms, “call unto
00:09:12.308 --> 00:09:14.243
He said in psalms, “call unto me in the day of trouble and
00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:16.512
Me in the day of trouble and i will strengthen you and i
00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:18.147
I will strengthen you and i will deliver you.” if you'll
00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:20.483
Will deliver you.” if you'll call unto him, he'll give you
00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:22.485
Call unto him, he'll give you the strength you need until
00:09:22.551 --> 00:09:24.487
The strength you need until the deliverance comes. every
00:09:24.553 --> 00:09:26.756
The deliverance comes. every morning you need to call.
00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:28.491
Morning you need to call. “lord, thank you for
00:09:28.557 --> 00:09:29.325
“lord, thank you for strengthening me today. thank
00:09:29.392 --> 00:09:31.293
Strengthening me today. thank you that this anxiety cannot
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.962
You that this anxiety cannot stay in my life. i am a
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:34.764
Stay in my life. i am a temple of the most high god.
00:09:34.830 --> 00:09:36.832
Temple of the most high god. anxiety you are on foreign
00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:38.601
Anxiety you are on foreign territory. you are not
00:09:38.668 --> 00:09:40.136
Territory. you are not welcome here.” don't be
00:09:40.202 --> 00:09:42.004
Welcome here.” don't be complacent. don't just accept
00:09:42.071 --> 00:09:44.240
Complacent. don't just accept it. “oh man, my anxiety is
00:09:44.306 --> 00:09:45.775
It. “oh man, my anxiety is acting up today. my
00:09:45.841 --> 00:09:47.243
Acting up today. my depression is really bad.”
00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:48.644
Depression is really bad.” no, don't take ownership of
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:50.513
No, don't take ownership of it. it doesn't belong to you.
00:09:50.579 --> 00:09:53.215
It. it doesn't belong to you. the moment you say “my”,
00:09:53.282 --> 00:09:54.884
The moment you say “my”, you're giving it permission
00:09:54.950 --> 00:09:56.085
You're giving it permission to stay. it's like you're
00:09:56.152 --> 00:09:57.653
To stay. it's like you're inviting it into your life.
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.488
Inviting it into your life. instead of inviting it, you
00:09:59.555 --> 00:10:01.057
Instead of inviting it, you need to start casting it
00:10:01.123 --> 00:10:02.324
Need to start casting it away. see that anxiety as
00:10:02.391 --> 00:10:04.627
Away. see that anxiety as foreign, as not welcome, and
00:10:04.694 --> 00:10:07.029
Foreign, as not welcome, and as temporary.
00:10:07.096 --> 00:10:08.364
As temporary. are you holding on to
00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:09.565
Are you holding on to worries, anxiety? “what's
00:10:09.632 --> 00:10:12.268
Worries, anxiety? “what's going to happen with my
00:10:12.334 --> 00:10:13.069
Going to happen with my child, this situation at work
00:10:13.135 --> 00:10:15.571
Child, this situation at work is stressing me out, joel,
00:10:15.638 --> 00:10:16.972
Is stressing me out, joel, and my health is not getting
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.441
And my health is not getting better?” if david were here,
00:10:18.507 --> 00:10:21.110
Better?” if david were here, he would tell you. “i was
00:10:21.177 --> 00:10:22.812
He would tell you. “i was where you were. i did the
00:10:22.878 --> 00:10:24.547
Where you were. i did the same thing, so much so that i
00:10:24.613 --> 00:10:26.849
Same thing, so much so that i couldn't function. i was
00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:28.451
Couldn't function. i was shaking. don't do like i did.
00:10:28.517 --> 00:10:31.120
Shaking. don't do like i did. release the weight of it.
00:10:31.187 --> 00:10:32.888
Release the weight of it. cast that burden on the
00:10:32.955 --> 00:10:34.256
Cast that burden on the lord.” as long as you hold on
00:10:34.323 --> 00:10:36.792
Lord.” as long as you hold on to it, it's going to hold you
00:10:36.859 --> 00:10:38.294
To it, it's going to hold you down. you're holding on to
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.896
Down. you're holding on to what's holding you back. we
00:10:40.963 --> 00:10:42.832
What's holding you back. we wonder when god is going to
00:10:42.898 --> 00:10:44.133
Wonder when god is going to do something, but god's
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.601
Do something, but god's waiting for us to release it.
00:10:45.668 --> 00:10:48.170
Waiting for us to release it. releasing it is an act of
00:10:48.237 --> 00:10:49.805
Releasing it is an act of faith. “god, i don't see how
00:10:49.872 --> 00:10:52.041
Faith. “god, i don't see how it's going to work out but i
00:10:52.108 --> 00:10:53.509
It's going to work out but i know you have a way. god, my
00:10:53.576 --> 00:10:56.045
Know you have a way. god, my child is not making good
00:10:56.112 --> 00:10:57.313
Child is not making good decisions, but i know he's in
00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:59.248
Decisions, but i know he's in the palm of your hand. god,
00:10:59.315 --> 00:11:01.283
The palm of your hand. god, my business is slow, but i
00:11:01.350 --> 00:11:02.918
My business is slow, but i thank you that you're
00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:04.186
Thank you that you're supplying all of my needs.”
00:11:04.253 --> 00:11:06.789
Supplying all of my needs.” during the pandemic, when so
00:11:06.856 --> 00:11:08.357
During the pandemic, when so many things closed down; one
00:11:08.424 --> 00:11:10.359
Many things closed down; one sunday morning, i went to
00:11:10.426 --> 00:11:11.827
Sunday morning, i went to breakfast with my family at
00:11:11.894 --> 00:11:13.562
Breakfast with my family at this small outdoor
00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:14.697
This small outdoor restaurant. this is when
00:11:14.764 --> 00:11:16.232
Restaurant. this is when there were no in person
00:11:16.298 --> 00:11:17.666
There were no in person services, only online. we
00:11:17.733 --> 00:11:20.069
Services, only online. we would record the sunday
00:11:20.136 --> 00:11:21.070
Would record the sunday service on friday, so i was
00:11:21.137 --> 00:11:23.405
Service on friday, so i was free on the weekends. i told
00:11:23.472 --> 00:11:25.474
Free on the weekends. i told my family i have never been
00:11:25.541 --> 00:11:27.409
My family i have never been to breakfast on a sunday
00:11:27.476 --> 00:11:28.844
To breakfast on a sunday morning in all of my life. we
00:11:28.911 --> 00:11:31.080
Morning in all of my life. we were always in church. if you
00:11:31.147 --> 00:11:32.715
Were always in church. if you were somewhere else on a
00:11:32.782 --> 00:11:33.549
Were somewhere else on a sunday morning, you were
00:11:33.616 --> 00:11:34.683
Sunday morning, you were going to hell. but with all
00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:38.120
Going to hell. but with all this disruption, all the
00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:40.189
This disruption, all the changes; like a lot of
00:11:40.256 --> 00:11:42.258
Changes; like a lot of people, i felt this
00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:43.659
People, i felt this uneasiness, this anxiety,
00:11:43.726 --> 00:11:46.428
Uneasiness, this anxiety, like something was wrong.
00:11:46.495 --> 00:11:48.164
Like something was wrong. everything was great in my
00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:49.331
Everything was great in my life, but deep down there was
00:11:49.398 --> 00:11:50.766
Life, but deep down there was this gnawing, something's not
00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:52.334
This gnawing, something's not right. i would be going
00:11:52.401 --> 00:11:53.869
Right. i would be going through the day, out of
00:11:53.936 --> 00:11:54.804
Through the day, out of nowhere this sense of gloom.
00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:57.006
Nowhere this sense of gloom. wake up in the middle of the
00:11:57.072 --> 00:11:57.907
Wake up in the middle of the night, these worrisome
00:11:57.973 --> 00:11:59.175
Night, these worrisome thoughts. something i had
00:11:59.241 --> 00:12:00.709
Thoughts. something i had never experienced. but when
00:12:00.776 --> 00:12:02.645
Never experienced. but when anxiety attacks, you can't
00:12:02.711 --> 00:12:04.814
Anxiety attacks, you can't just be passive and hope it
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:06.482
Just be passive and hope it goes away. there's something
00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:08.250
Goes away. there's something that we have to do.
00:12:08.317 --> 00:12:09.885
That we have to do. paul said in philippians 4,
00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:12.054
Paul said in philippians 4, “be anxious for nothing.”
00:12:12.121 --> 00:12:14.657
“be anxious for nothing.” that's a bold statement.
00:12:14.723 --> 00:12:16.325
That's a bold statement. “come on paul. you mean we
00:12:16.392 --> 00:12:18.027
“come on paul. you mean we can not be anxious over the
00:12:18.093 --> 00:12:20.529
Can not be anxious over the uncertainty in our future.
00:12:20.596 --> 00:12:21.997
Uncertainty in our future. not be anxious over this
00:12:22.064 --> 00:12:22.698
Not be anxious over this medical report, this trouble
00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:23.365
Medical report, this trouble at work.” that seems too good
00:12:23.432 --> 00:12:23.999
At work.” that seems too good to be true. he goes on to
00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:24.667
To be true. he goes on to tell us how it can happen. he
00:12:24.733 --> 00:12:29.605
Said, “but in everything by
00:12:32.708 --> 00:12:34.844
Said, “but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
00:12:34.910 --> 00:12:37.880
Prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your
00:12:37.947 --> 00:12:39.548
Thanksgiving, let your requests be known unto god.”
00:12:39.615 --> 00:12:42.451
Requests be known unto god.” paul was saying when anxiety
00:12:42.518 --> 00:12:44.753
Paul was saying when anxiety attacks, don't try to do it
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:46.789
Attacks, don't try to do it on your own. go to god in
00:12:46.856 --> 00:12:49.124
On your own. go to god in prayer. ask him for his help.
00:12:49.191 --> 00:12:52.228
Prayer. ask him for his help. it says to pray with
00:12:52.294 --> 00:12:53.329
It says to pray with supplication. that means to
00:12:53.395 --> 00:12:55.531
Supplication. that means to lower yourself, to go in
00:12:55.598 --> 00:12:57.433
Lower yourself, to go in humility, admitting your
00:12:57.499 --> 00:12:59.168
Humility, admitting your dependence on him. “god, i
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:01.203
Dependence on him. “god, i need you. i can't do this on
00:13:01.270 --> 00:13:03.339
Need you. i can't do this on my own. i don't see how my
00:13:03.405 --> 00:13:05.241
My own. i don't see how my child is going to get back on
00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:06.475
Child is going to get back on course, the medical report is
00:13:06.542 --> 00:13:08.310
Course, the medical report is not good; god, my finances
00:13:08.377 --> 00:13:10.246
Not good; god, my finances are low, god i'm depending on
00:13:10.312 --> 00:13:11.947
Are low, god i'm depending on your goodness, your mercy,
00:13:12.014 --> 00:13:13.649
Your goodness, your mercy, your favor.” that's praying
00:13:13.716 --> 00:13:15.718
Your favor.” that's praying with supplication. then it
00:13:15.784 --> 00:13:17.720
With supplication. then it says “with thanksgiving”.
00:13:17.786 --> 00:13:20.189
Says “with thanksgiving”. once you pray, once you cast
00:13:20.256 --> 00:13:22.291
Once you pray, once you cast it on god, you need to shift
00:13:22.358 --> 00:13:23.959
It on god, you need to shift into a different mindset. no
00:13:24.026 --> 00:13:26.362
Into a different mindset. no more, “god i'm so worried, i
00:13:26.428 --> 00:13:28.297
More, “god i'm so worried, i don't see how i'm going to
00:13:28.364 --> 00:13:29.131
Don't see how i'm going to make it.” no, don't go to god
00:13:29.198 --> 00:13:31.400
Make it.” no, don't go to god from a place of anxiety, go
00:13:31.467 --> 00:13:33.269
From a place of anxiety, go to him from a place of faith,
00:13:33.335 --> 00:13:35.204
To him from a place of faith, a place of thanksgiving.
00:13:35.271 --> 00:13:37.006
A place of thanksgiving. that's showing god that you
00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:38.374
That's showing god that you trust him. “god, i thank you
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.976
Trust him. “god, i thank you that you are working in my
00:13:41.043 --> 00:13:42.244
That you are working in my life. i know you're bigger
00:13:42.311 --> 00:13:43.979
Life. i know you're bigger than this trouble, bigger
00:13:44.046 --> 00:13:45.514
Than this trouble, bigger than this sickness, bigger
00:13:45.581 --> 00:13:47.082
Than this sickness, bigger than this problem at work.”
00:13:47.149 --> 00:13:49.151
Than this problem at work.” you can stay in peace knowing
00:13:49.218 --> 00:13:51.120
You can stay in peace knowing that god is fighting your
00:13:51.186 --> 00:13:52.521
That god is fighting your battles, he's working out his
00:13:52.588 --> 00:13:54.590
Battles, he's working out his plan for your life.
00:13:54.657 --> 00:13:56.926
Plan for your life. paul goes on to say, if
00:13:56.992 --> 00:13:58.727
Paul goes on to say, if you'll go to god with prayer,
00:13:58.794 --> 00:14:00.496
You'll go to god with prayer, supplication and
00:14:00.562 --> 00:14:01.597
Supplication and thanksgiving, then here's the
00:14:01.664 --> 00:14:02.932
Thanksgiving, then here's the promise. “the peace of god,
00:14:02.998 --> 00:14:05.668
Promise. “the peace of god, which passes all
00:14:05.734 --> 00:14:06.969
Which passes all understanding, will guard
00:14:07.036 --> 00:14:08.837
Understanding, will guard your heart and mind.” notice,
00:14:08.904 --> 00:14:11.307
Your heart and mind.” notice, it's the peace of god. it's
00:14:11.373 --> 00:14:14.043
It's the peace of god. it's not normal peace. it's
00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:15.778
Not normal peace. it's something you can't explain.
00:14:15.844 --> 00:14:17.846
Something you can't explain. it's peace in the midst of
00:14:17.913 --> 00:14:19.248
It's peace in the midst of the storm. it's peace when
00:14:19.315 --> 00:14:21.116
The storm. it's peace when you're taking the treatment.
00:14:21.183 --> 00:14:22.718
You're taking the treatment. it's peace when you're going
00:14:22.785 --> 00:14:24.119
It's peace when you're going through a breakup. it's peace
00:14:24.186 --> 00:14:26.088
Through a breakup. it's peace when you lost your loved one.
00:14:26.155 --> 00:14:27.756
When you lost your loved one. it's peace when that person
00:14:27.823 --> 00:14:29.158
It's peace when that person did you wrong. people will
00:14:29.224 --> 00:14:31.026
Did you wrong. people will look at you, “aren't you
00:14:31.093 --> 00:14:32.528
Look at you, “aren't you depressed, worried, anxious?
00:14:32.594 --> 00:14:35.164
Depressed, worried, anxious? how could you be so happy, so
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:36.966
How could you be so happy, so grateful?” just tell them,
00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:38.934
Grateful?” just tell them, “the peace i have didn't come
00:14:39.001 --> 00:14:40.669
“the peace i have didn't come from this world. it's not
00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:42.237
From this world. it's not ordinary. it's peace from my
00:14:42.304 --> 00:14:44.139
Ordinary. it's peace from my heavenly father. it's peace
00:14:44.206 --> 00:14:46.442
Heavenly father. it's peace that passes understanding.”
00:14:46.508 --> 00:14:48.877
That passes understanding.” you may be in that fire now.
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:51.547
You may be in that fire now. you're tempted to panic, live
00:14:51.613 --> 00:14:53.415
You're tempted to panic, live uptight. no, it's time to
00:14:53.482 --> 00:14:54.883
Uptight. no, it's time to start casting. cast the care,
00:14:54.950 --> 00:14:57.686
Start casting. cast the care, cast the anxiety, cast the
00:14:57.753 --> 00:14:59.521
Cast the anxiety, cast the worry. god has you in the
00:14:59.588 --> 00:15:01.590
Worry. god has you in the palm of his hand. he didn't
00:15:01.657 --> 00:15:03.792
Palm of his hand. he didn't bring you this far to leave
00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:05.294
Bring you this far to leave you. he's done it in the
00:15:05.361 --> 00:15:06.929
You. he's done it in the past, he's going to do it
00:15:06.996 --> 00:15:08.297
Past, he's going to do it this time. but defeating
00:15:08.364 --> 00:15:10.632
This time. but defeating anxiety requires trust. you
00:15:10.699 --> 00:15:14.003
Anxiety requires trust. you may not know all the answers.
00:15:14.069 --> 00:15:16.205
May not know all the answers. you don't see how it can work
00:15:16.271 --> 00:15:17.606
You don't see how it can work out, but god has it all
00:15:17.673 --> 00:15:19.575
Out, but god has it all figured out. his ways are not
00:15:19.641 --> 00:15:22.044
Figured out. his ways are not our ways. we think natural,
00:15:22.111 --> 00:15:24.079
Our ways. we think natural, but god is supernatural. he's
00:15:24.146 --> 00:15:26.482
But god is supernatural. he's already planned out your days
00:15:26.548 --> 00:15:28.283
Already planned out your days for good. it may not be good
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:30.719
For good. it may not be good right now because there are
00:15:30.786 --> 00:15:32.388
Right now because there are pieces missing. but when god
00:15:32.454 --> 00:15:35.057
Pieces missing. but when god brings it all together, it
00:15:35.124 --> 00:15:36.692
Brings it all together, it will be better than you've
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:37.793
Will be better than you've imagined. trust him when you
00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:40.095
Imagined. trust him when you don't understand.
00:15:40.162 --> 00:15:41.964
Don't understand. sometimes we're anxious over
00:15:42.031 --> 00:15:43.232
Sometimes we're anxious over the future, over what might
00:15:43.298 --> 00:15:44.800
The future, over what might happen. other times, we're
00:15:44.867 --> 00:15:46.835
Happen. other times, we're anxious over the past.
00:15:46.902 --> 00:15:49.004
Anxious over the past. mistakes we've made, regrets,
00:15:49.071 --> 00:15:52.074
Mistakes we've made, regrets, things that could come back
00:15:52.141 --> 00:15:53.175
Things that could come back to haunt us. i love when god
00:15:53.242 --> 00:15:56.011
To haunt us. i love when god brought the israelites
00:15:56.078 --> 00:15:57.046
Brought the israelites through the red sea, he
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:58.614
Through the red sea, he didn't just make a way for
00:15:58.680 --> 00:16:00.215
Didn't just make a way for them to escape, but he
00:16:00.282 --> 00:16:01.917
Them to escape, but he drowned all their enemies. if
00:16:01.984 --> 00:16:04.453
Drowned all their enemies. if he would have just brought
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:05.287
He would have just brought them out, they would have
00:16:05.354 --> 00:16:06.455
Them out, they would have always lived with the threat
00:16:06.522 --> 00:16:08.757
Always lived with the threat that the pharaoh and those
00:16:08.824 --> 00:16:10.492
That the pharaoh and those powerful warriors could come
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.327
Powerful warriors could come find them. the israelites
00:16:12.394 --> 00:16:14.229
Find them. the israelites would have lived in fear,
00:16:14.296 --> 00:16:15.898
Would have lived in fear, always thinking in the back
00:16:15.964 --> 00:16:17.132
Always thinking in the back of their mind, they could be
00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:18.767
Of their mind, they could be coming, looking over their
00:16:18.834 --> 00:16:20.402
Coming, looking over their shoulder. there would have
00:16:20.469 --> 00:16:22.037
Shoulder. there would have been this lingering worry,
00:16:22.104 --> 00:16:24.006
Been this lingering worry, lingering anxiety, they'd
00:16:24.073 --> 00:16:25.808
Lingering anxiety, they'd always be dealing with. but
00:16:25.874 --> 00:16:27.843
Always be dealing with. but when god drowned their
00:16:27.910 --> 00:16:28.911
When god drowned their enemies, he put an end to
00:16:28.977 --> 00:16:31.113
Enemies, he put an end to what could harm them. in
00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:32.881
What could harm them. in other words, he freed them
00:16:32.948 --> 00:16:34.083
Other words, he freed them from their past. you may have
00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:36.652
From their past. you may have that lingering anxiety,
00:16:36.718 --> 00:16:38.921
That lingering anxiety, always trying to remind you
00:16:38.987 --> 00:16:40.322
Always trying to remind you of what might happen, those
00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:42.091
Of what might happen, those mistakes catching up to you,
00:16:42.157 --> 00:16:44.126
Mistakes catching up to you, those regrets coming to
00:16:44.193 --> 00:16:45.561
Those regrets coming to light. can i tell you; the
00:16:45.627 --> 00:16:47.396
Light. can i tell you; the threat has been taken care.
00:16:47.463 --> 00:16:48.964
Threat has been taken care. god has put an end to what
00:16:49.031 --> 00:16:51.533
God has put an end to what you're worried about. you
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.868
You're worried about. you don't have to live worried,
00:16:52.935 --> 00:16:54.603
Don't have to live worried, afraid, anxious. he didn't
00:16:54.670 --> 00:16:56.872
Afraid, anxious. he didn't just part your red sea,
00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:58.874
Just part your red sea, didn't just bring you through
00:16:58.941 --> 00:16:59.775
Didn't just bring you through the difficulty, but he's
00:16:59.842 --> 00:17:01.443
The difficulty, but he's drowned those enemies. he's
00:17:01.510 --> 00:17:03.178
Drowned those enemies. he's drowned the guilt, the shame,
00:17:03.245 --> 00:17:05.280
Drowned the guilt, the shame, the opposition. what was
00:17:05.347 --> 00:17:07.216
The opposition. what was trying to harm you has
00:17:07.282 --> 00:17:08.851
Trying to harm you has already been defeated.
00:17:08.917 --> 00:17:11.120
Already been defeated. here's the whole key, the
00:17:11.186 --> 00:17:12.521
Here's the whole key, the enemy would love for you to
00:17:12.588 --> 00:17:13.856
Enemy would love for you to live anxious over a threat
00:17:13.922 --> 00:17:16.391
Live anxious over a threat that's already taken care of.
00:17:16.458 --> 00:17:18.627
That's already taken care of. he'll make a lot of noise, in
00:17:18.694 --> 00:17:20.229
He'll make a lot of noise, in your thoughts, “what if they
00:17:20.295 --> 00:17:21.797
Your thoughts, “what if they come back, what if they make
00:17:21.864 --> 00:17:23.532
Come back, what if they make you look bad, what if this
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.067
You look bad, what if this taints your future?” david
00:17:25.134 --> 00:17:27.136
Taints your future?” david said the threats from his
00:17:27.202 --> 00:17:28.570
Said the threats from his enemies were tormenting him.
00:17:28.637 --> 00:17:30.606
Enemies were tormenting him. the threats were causing him
00:17:30.672 --> 00:17:32.007
The threats were causing him to have anxiety. threats can
00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:34.443
To have anxiety. threats can be powerful, until you
00:17:34.510 --> 00:17:36.111
Be powerful, until you realize, those enemies are no
00:17:36.178 --> 00:17:38.013
Realize, those enemies are no longer here. those enemies
00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:40.082
Longer here. those enemies have already been defeated.
00:17:40.149 --> 00:17:42.317
Have already been defeated. now you can live free. you

Forward in faith knowing that your past has been taken care
00:17:48.724 --> 00:17:50.559
Your past has been taken care of. when those threats come
00:17:50.626 --> 00:17:52.995
Of. when those threats come back to your mind, telling
00:17:53.061 --> 00:17:54.763
Back to your mind, telling you to worry, “something's
00:17:54.830 --> 00:17:56.098
You to worry, “something's wrong.” you feel that anxiety
00:17:56.165 --> 00:17:58.534
Wrong.” you feel that anxiety rising up. don't take the
00:17:58.600 --> 00:18:00.202
Rising up. don't take the bait. get your fishing rod
00:18:00.269 --> 00:18:02.137
Bait. get your fishing rod out and let out a big cast.
00:18:02.204 --> 00:18:03.939
Out and let out a big cast. “no thanks. pharoah is
00:18:04.006 --> 00:18:05.374
“no thanks. pharoah is defeated. my past is
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.209
Defeated. my past is forgiven. my enemies have
00:18:07.276 --> 00:18:09.044
Forgiven. my enemies have been taken care of. i'm going
00:18:09.111 --> 00:18:10.646
Been taken care of. i'm going to live my life in victory.”
00:18:10.712 --> 00:18:12.281
To live my life in victory.” in acts 12, peter was put in
00:18:12.347 --> 00:18:15.617
In acts 12, peter was put in prison for sharing his faith.
00:18:15.684 --> 00:18:17.819
Prison for sharing his faith. king agrippa had already had
00:18:17.886 --> 00:18:19.922
King agrippa had already had james, one of the apostle's
00:18:19.988 --> 00:18:21.590
James, one of the apostle's killed. when he saw how that
00:18:21.657 --> 00:18:23.458
Killed. when he saw how that pleased the people, he had
00:18:23.525 --> 00:18:24.927
Pleased the people, he had them arrest peter. he was in
00:18:24.993 --> 00:18:26.895
Them arrest peter. he was in the deepest part of the
00:18:26.962 --> 00:18:27.796
The deepest part of the dungeon, his hands and feet
00:18:27.863 --> 00:18:29.765
Dungeon, his hands and feet in chains, with sixteen
00:18:29.831 --> 00:18:31.600
In chains, with sixteen soldiers guarding him. the
00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:33.735
Soldiers guarding him. the next day, he was going to be
00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.671
Next day, he was going to be brought to trial. peter knew
00:18:35.737 --> 00:18:37.906
Brought to trial. peter knew his life could be over in
00:18:37.973 --> 00:18:39.074
His life could be over in just twenty-four hours. he
00:18:39.141 --> 00:18:41.910
Just twenty-four hours. he knew what they had done to
00:18:41.977 --> 00:18:43.111
Knew what they had done to james, now he was next in
00:18:43.178 --> 00:18:44.980
James, now he was next in line. you would think he
00:18:45.047 --> 00:18:46.848
Line. you would think he would be so worried, pacing
00:18:46.915 --> 00:18:49.017
Would be so worried, pacing the floor, complaining. but
00:18:49.084 --> 00:18:51.553
The floor, complaining. but in the middle of the night,
00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:53.255
In the middle of the night, an angel came to rescue
00:18:53.322 --> 00:18:54.823
An angel came to rescue peter. the scripture says
00:18:54.890 --> 00:18:56.425
Peter. the scripture says something interesting, the
00:18:56.491 --> 00:18:57.759
Something interesting, the angel had to wake peter up.
00:18:57.826 --> 00:19:01.396
Angel had to wake peter up. how could he be sleeping
00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:02.965
How could he be sleeping knowing the next day he could
00:19:03.031 --> 00:19:04.666
Knowing the next day he could lose his life. that's the
00:19:04.733 --> 00:19:06.335
Lose his life. that's the peace that passes
00:19:06.401 --> 00:19:07.669
Peace that passes understanding. that's peace
00:19:07.736 --> 00:19:09.571
Understanding. that's peace that doesn't make sense.
00:19:09.638 --> 00:19:11.673
That doesn't make sense. that's what happens when you
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:13.442
That's what happens when you learn to turn it over to god.
00:19:13.508 --> 00:19:15.377
Learn to turn it over to god. i'd like to think that i have
00:19:15.444 --> 00:19:16.645
I'd like to think that i have that much faith but i'd
00:19:16.712 --> 00:19:18.080
That much faith but i'd probably be calling the
00:19:18.146 --> 00:19:18.914
Probably be calling the prayer line, pacing the
00:19:18.981 --> 00:19:20.449
Prayer line, pacing the floor, “somebody pray for me.
00:19:20.515 --> 00:19:22.618
Floor, “somebody pray for me. god, do something.” but
00:19:22.684 --> 00:19:23.952
God, do something.” but here's the key, when you
00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:25.587
Here's the key, when you rest, god goes to work. when
00:19:25.654 --> 00:19:28.523
Rest, god goes to work. when you work. when you're
00:19:28.590 --> 00:19:29.758
You work. when you're uptight, worried, “god
00:19:29.825 --> 00:19:31.593
Uptight, worried, “god there's a deadline. this
00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:33.161
There's a deadline. this doesn't look good. he killed
00:19:33.228 --> 00:19:34.429
Doesn't look good. he killed james.” begging god doesn't
00:19:34.496 --> 00:19:37.165
James.” begging god doesn't necessarily get his
00:19:37.232 --> 00:19:38.200
Necessarily get his attention. but when you're in
00:19:38.267 --> 00:19:40.135
Attention. but when you're in peace that's a place of
00:19:40.202 --> 00:19:41.470
Peace that's a place of power. when you cast those
00:19:41.536 --> 00:19:43.605
Power. when you cast those cares, not only do you get
00:19:43.672 --> 00:19:45.774
Cares, not only do you get peace, not only can you sleep
00:19:45.841 --> 00:19:47.809
Peace, not only can you sleep in the storm, but the creator
00:19:47.876 --> 00:19:49.611
In the storm, but the creator of the universe goes to work.
00:19:49.678 --> 00:19:51.480
Of the universe goes to work. supernatural things will
00:19:51.546 --> 00:19:52.848
Supernatural things will happen. the chains fell off
00:19:52.914 --> 00:19:55.083
Happen. the chains fell off of peter, the gates opened of
00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:57.085
Of peter, the gates opened of their own accord. he was
00:19:57.152 --> 00:19:58.787
Their own accord. he was invisible to those sixteen
00:19:58.854 --> 00:20:00.555
Invisible to those sixteen soldiers guarding him. he
00:20:00.622 --> 00:20:02.291
Soldiers guarding him. he walked out a free man.
00:20:02.357 --> 00:20:04.693
Walked out a free man. it's not a coincidence that
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:06.561
It's not a coincidence that peter was the one that wrote.
00:20:06.628 --> 00:20:08.397
Peter was the one that wrote. “cast all your anxieties on
00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:10.499
“cast all your anxieties on him.” he was saying, “i know
00:20:10.565 --> 00:20:13.368
Him.” he was saying, “i know what it's like to face
00:20:13.435 --> 00:20:14.403
What it's like to face anxiety. i've been there. to
00:20:14.469 --> 00:20:16.738
Anxiety. i've been there. to have things come against you
00:20:16.805 --> 00:20:18.040
Have things come against you where you don't see a way
00:20:18.106 --> 00:20:19.207
Where you don't see a way out. thoughts of worry and
00:20:19.274 --> 00:20:21.243
Out. thoughts of worry and fear bombard your mind.” if
00:20:21.310 --> 00:20:23.845
Fear bombard your mind.” if peter were here today, he
00:20:23.912 --> 00:20:25.747
Peter were here today, he would tell you, the antidote
00:20:25.814 --> 00:20:27.549
Would tell you, the antidote to anxiety is to turn it over
00:20:27.616 --> 00:20:29.818
To anxiety is to turn it over to god. don't carry it, cast
00:20:29.885 --> 00:20:32.654
To god. don't carry it, cast it. don't go around dwelling
00:20:32.721 --> 00:20:34.556
It. don't go around dwelling on all the negative, trying
00:20:34.623 --> 00:20:36.325
On all the negative, trying to figure it out, focused on
00:20:36.391 --> 00:20:37.859
To figure it out, focused on the what if's, put it all in
00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:39.561
The what if's, put it all in god's hands. that's when
00:20:39.628 --> 00:20:41.330
God's hands. that's when you'll have peace that passes
00:20:41.396 --> 00:20:43.198
You'll have peace that passes understanding. are you
00:20:43.265 --> 00:20:45.400
Understanding. are you carrying things you need to
00:20:45.467 --> 00:20:47.002
Carrying things you need to be casting? are you holding
00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:49.371
Be casting? are you holding on to weights that you should
00:20:49.438 --> 00:20:50.672
On to weights that you should be releasing? you can walk
00:20:50.739 --> 00:20:53.075
Be releasing? you can walk out of here today lighter,
00:20:53.141 --> 00:20:54.910
Out of here today lighter, freer, with more joy. don't
00:20:54.976 --> 00:20:57.846
Freer, with more joy. don't wait for things to change,
00:20:57.913 --> 00:20:59.081
Wait for things to change, then you're going to quit
00:20:59.147 --> 00:21:00.148
Then you're going to quit worrying. “joel, when my
00:21:00.215 --> 00:21:01.883
Worrying. “joel, when my health turns around, when my
00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:03.685
Health turns around, when my child straightens up, when
00:21:03.752 --> 00:21:05.387
Child straightens up, when this situation at work
00:21:05.454 --> 00:21:06.555
This situation at work resolves, then i'll be able
00:21:06.621 --> 00:21:07.956
Resolves, then i'll be able to sleep at night.” no, if
00:21:08.023 --> 00:21:09.958
To sleep at night.” no, if you'll start casting those
00:21:10.025 --> 00:21:11.259
You'll start casting those cares, you can have peace
00:21:11.326 --> 00:21:13.228
Cares, you can have peace while you're waiting for
00:21:13.295 --> 00:21:14.363
While you're waiting for things to improve. peter was
00:21:14.429 --> 00:21:16.998
Things to improve. peter was not just in prison; he was in
00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:19.401
Not just in prison; he was in peace. he wasn't just locked
00:21:19.468 --> 00:21:21.737
Peace. he wasn't just locked in chains; he was locked in
00:21:21.803 --> 00:21:23.405
In chains; he was locked in peace. he wasn't just guarded
00:21:23.472 --> 00:21:25.607
Peace. he wasn't just guarded by those soldiers; he was
00:21:25.674 --> 00:21:27.309
By those soldiers; he was guarded by peace.
00:21:27.376 --> 00:21:29.077
Guarded by peace. the outside circumstances
00:21:29.144 --> 00:21:31.346
The outside circumstances don't determine your peace,
00:21:31.413 --> 00:21:33.215
Don't determine your peace, it's what's happening on the
00:21:33.281 --> 00:21:34.349
It's what's happening on the inside. when you're connected
00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:36.818
Inside. when you're connected to your creator, when you've
00:21:36.885 --> 00:21:38.787
To your creator, when you've learned to pray with
00:21:38.854 --> 00:21:39.955
Learned to pray with supplication, admitting your
00:21:40.021 --> 00:21:42.357
Supplication, admitting your dependence on god, with
00:21:42.424 --> 00:21:44.393
Dependence on god, with thanksgiving, instead of
00:21:44.459 --> 00:21:46.228
Thanksgiving, instead of worrying, thanking him that
00:21:46.294 --> 00:21:47.763
Worrying, thanking him that he's working, then when
00:21:47.829 --> 00:21:49.564
He's working, then when difficulties come, you can
00:21:49.631 --> 00:21:51.400
Difficulties come, you can say like peter, “i'm not just
00:21:51.466 --> 00:21:53.402
Say like peter, “i'm not just in trouble, i'm in peace. i'm
00:21:53.468 --> 00:21:55.737
In trouble, i'm in peace. i'm not just in the hospital, i'm
00:21:55.804 --> 00:21:57.406
Not just in the hospital, i'm in peace. i'm not just in
00:21:57.472 --> 00:21:59.441
In peace. i'm not just in debt, my business is
00:21:59.508 --> 00:22:00.809
Debt, my business is struggling, i'm in peace. i
00:22:00.876 --> 00:22:03.044
Struggling, i'm in peace. i know god is fighting this
00:22:03.111 --> 00:22:04.279
Know god is fighting this battle. i know he has the
00:22:04.346 --> 00:22:05.881
Battle. i know he has the final say.” that's when
00:22:05.947 --> 00:22:08.450
Final say.” that's when you'll experience peace that
00:22:08.517 --> 00:22:10.085
You'll experience peace that passes understanding. peace
00:22:10.152 --> 00:22:12.721
Passes understanding. peace where you can sleep in the
00:22:12.788 --> 00:22:13.789
Where you can sleep in the storm. peace when the battle
00:22:13.855 --> 00:22:15.891
Storm. peace when the battle is raging around you. peace
00:22:15.957 --> 00:22:18.093
Is raging around you. peace when the medical report
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.161
When the medical report wasn't good. when you're in
00:22:19.227 --> 00:22:21.329
Wasn't good. when you're in peace, you're showing god
00:22:21.396 --> 00:22:23.098
Peace, you're showing god that you trust him. that's
00:22:23.165 --> 00:22:24.800
That you trust him. that's your faith at work. that's
00:22:24.866 --> 00:22:26.568
Your faith at work. that's what activates his power.
00:22:26.635 --> 00:22:28.403
What activates his power. you'll see him show out in
00:22:28.470 --> 00:22:30.005
You'll see him show out in your life.
00:22:30.071 --> 00:22:31.406
Your life. my prayer for you is what
00:22:31.473 --> 00:22:33.241
My prayer for you is what paul declared that you will
00:22:33.308 --> 00:22:35.177
Paul declared that you will be anxious for nothing. that
00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:37.379
Be anxious for nothing. that you'll learn to cast those
