We'd love to have you 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.240 be a part of one of our services, but I 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.680 like to start with something funny. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.320 And I heard about this mother. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.359 One Sunday morning, she went to her son's bedroom and said, son, 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.480 wake up, it's time to go to church. He said, no, Mom, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.160 I'm not going to church today. She said why not? 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.399 He said, I'll give you two good reasons. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.399 Number one, I don't like the people, and number two, 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.120 they don't like me. She said, all right, I'll give 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.960 you two better reasons to go. Number one, you're forty 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:33.000 nine years old, and number two, you're the pastor. Say 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.000 it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.400 am what it says I am. I have what it 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.840 says I have. I can do what it says I 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.919 can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.560 I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.480 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.840 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.359 the antidote for anxiety. We all have opportunities to live 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.960 anxious and worried about the future and wondering what's going 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.639 to happen with our children. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.080 Our finances, our health. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.880 There's always something trying to steal our peace. If you 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.840 watch the news, you hear about inflation, violence, wars, division. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.920 A recent article talked about how we're in an epidemic 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.079 of anxiety. There's never been so much coming against our 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:24.880 mental health. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.880 But that's not the way we were created to live. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.720 The scripture says, cast all your anxieties on him. One 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.840 antidote for anxiety is you have to give it to God. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.880 You can't go around carrying everything, trying to figure it 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.560 all out, living in tomorrow. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.080 Wondering how it's going to work out. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.400 What if my health doesn't improve, and what if my 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.400 company has layoffs. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.400 And this family member did me wrong. I got to 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:52.920 fix that. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.640 You're weighing yourself down carrying things you were never meant 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:58.120 to carry. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.240 That's why you can feel worn out, not able to 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.040 sleep at night. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.920 Do yourself a favor and start casting those anxieties. They're 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.600 going to come, but if you're going to stay in peace, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.240 you have to get good at. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.440 Turning them over to God. The word cast is an 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:15.280 action word. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.720 When you're fishing, you cast the rod. It's not a 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.160 complacent underhand. Let me just toss it out there. No, 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.600 you forcefully swing your arm and aggressively flick your wrists. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.280 There's action and energy in the same way. Anxiety is 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.600 not going to just fall. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:33.520 Off of you. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.880 Worry is not going to go away on its own. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.320 You can't just sit back and hope that things will change. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.440 You have to do some casting. When thoughts come. What's 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.680 going to happen with your children. There's so many distractions 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.560 these days, they're going to probably get in trouble. You 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.559 can dwell on those thoughts, let them weigh you down, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.400 cause them to live anxious. Or you can say, no, thanks, 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.599 My children are in God's hands Father, thank you that 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.120 you're p detecting them, causing them to make good decisions. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.640 That as for me and my house, we will serve 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.800 the Lord. You know what you did. You just cast 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.640 those anxieties on him. Have you seen the news. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:17.400 About the economy, inflation, gas prices? What if things keep 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.320 going up, What if your business doesn't make it, what 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.400 if you can't pay your bills? The enemy would love 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.960 for you to worry about things that are never going 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.960 to happen. He'd love for you to miss the beauty 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.960 of this day because you're so anxious about tomorrow. Don't 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.680 fall into that trap. God has not failed you in 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.760 the past, and he's not going to fail you now. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.719 My father used to say when I was growing up, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.400 if bread goes to a dollar a loaf, and gasoline 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.120 to a dollar a gallon, God will take care of us. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.000 If Daddy could see us. Now, God is faithful. 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:51.919 Let me tell you. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.760 If prices go up, the good news is God's provision 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.240 is going to go up. God is not up in 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.880 heaven then, man and I didn't see this coming. I 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.839 didn't know if lation was going to be this high. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.760 God owns it all. He makes streets out of gold. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.400 You get stressed looking at the future, anticipating the worst, 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.200 higher cost, higher bills. What you're not anticipating is the 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.080 goodness of God. David said, I was young, Now I'm old. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.680 I have never once seen the righteous forsaken. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.159 Instead of carrying that anxiety, do yourself a favor, start 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:27.839 casting it. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.360 I read where the largest. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.960 Increase in anxiety is among young people. There's so much 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.920 pressure these days with social media. There's the comparison, am 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.839 I good enough, pretty enough, smart enough? Do I have 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.480 enough followers? Am I popular? If you fall into that trap. 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.080 You'll never feel good about yourself because you'll always see 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.960 someone that's more talented, more beautiful, more successful. There will 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:01.360 be this pressure to outperform, outdress, more friends, more talents, 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.760 more compliments. That's a never ending cycle that's not only 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.560 going to wear you out and take. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.120 Your joy, your peace, but you'll. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.840 Miss who you were created to be trying to keep 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.400 up with everyone else. Take that pressure off yourself. That's 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.520 what's causing anxiety. How can I keep up? You don't 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.840 have to keep up. You're not competing with them. Run 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.480 your race, be who God made you to be. Well, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.880 I can't do what they can do. They can't do 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.080 what you can do. Your talented you're gifted. They're so beautiful. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.920 You're so beautiful, You're a masterpiece. You're made in the 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.640 image of God. Well, they're more popular. Popularity is fleeting. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.120 It can change in a minute. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.760 Psalm fifty five. David was dealing with anxiety. He said, 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.240 I'm overwhelmed with trouble. My enemies are making loud threats. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.160 My heart is anxious, with so much fear and trembling. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:00.560 I can't stop shaking. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.600 That's some serious anxiety. Now, David was a warrior. He 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.880 had defeated Goliath, conquered cities, led the Israelites into great victories. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.800 But now he's overwhelmed, so anxious that he can't move forward. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.400 Dealing with anxiety doesn't mean that you're weak, you don't 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:21.160 have enough faith. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.239 You must have done something wrong. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.520 The enemy wouldn't be trying to stop you if he 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.680 didn't know there was a calling on your life. He 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.200 knows there's greatness in you, that you're on the verge 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.080 of seeing a new level. That's why I'll try to 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.720 make you feel overwhelmed, worried. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.040 About the future. Think it is not going to work out. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.080 Thoughts will tell you it's never gonna change, You'll always 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.320 have to deal with this anxiety. Don't believe those lies. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.040 The anxiety is not permanent. It's not going to last forever. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:54.320 It's a season. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.360 This too shall pass now. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.840 Sometimes God will bring you out quickly. Other times he'll 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.120 take you little by little. Don't be discouraged if you 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.320 don't see anything changing. God is working every day. You 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.080 need to declare, I'm getting better, my mind is at peace, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.480 my heart is at rest, I am free from this anxiety. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.040 David had been attacked by King Saul and attacked by 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.040 his son Absalom, attacked in the city of Ziglag. He 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.160 handled those attacks well. He went out and defeated and. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.000 Recovered, was victorious. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.920 But when anxiety attacked, it was a different story. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.800 He didn't think he could go on. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:41.320 The most powerful attacks are not physical, but mental. That's 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:46.800 why the enemy works overtime in the mind. Anxiety, fear, worry. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.320 It's not gonna work out, You'll never get well, You'll 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.319 always be alone. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:53.160 What are you gonna do? 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.640 David was sitting there, overwhelmed, shaking, believing the lives of 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.360 the enemy. Anxiety attack could have been the end of 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:03.200 David's story. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.800 This could be the last time we read about him. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.359 The anxiety won and he faded off into the sunset. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.280 Now David did. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.760 Something that we all must do when anxiety attack. Instead 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.680 of just sitting there, he said in verse sixteen, I 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.600 will call on the name of the Lord, and he 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.720 will rescue me. He will keep me safe from the 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:30.040 battle raised against me when anxiety attacks. Often we call 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.760 our friends, call our neighbor, call our parents. That's all fine, 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.120 but you need to make sure you call on the 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.439 name of the Lord, call on the god who created. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.680 You Call on the God who brings dead things back 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.000 to life. Call on the God who. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.079 Is more powerful than any force that's trying to stop you. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:49.880 He said in Psalms. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.200 Call under me in the day of trouble, and I 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.160 will strengthen you, and I will deliver you. If you'll 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.960 call unto him, he'll give you the strength you know 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:05.360 until the deliverance comes. Every morning you need to call Lord, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.280 thank you for strengthening me today. Thank you that this 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.800 anxiety cannot stay in my life. I am a temple 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.000 of a most taigh God. Anxiety, you are on foreign territory. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.440 You are not welcome here. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.080 Don't be complacent. Don't just accept it. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.559 Oh man, my anxiety is acting up today. My depression 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.240 is really bad. Don't take ownership of it. It doesn't 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.040 belong to you. The moment you say my, you're giving 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.200 it permission to stay. It's like you're inviting it into 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.360 your life. Instead of inviting it, you need to start 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:43.200 casting it away. See that anxiety as foreign, as not welcome, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.400 and as temporary. David went through this anxiety attack. We 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.360 don't know how long it was, whether it's weeks, whether 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.800 it's months, but. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.680 When it was over. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.720 At the end of the chapter, he gives us what 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.520 he learned. He said in verse twenty two, that's your. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.560 Burdens on the Lord. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.160 Release the weight of them, and he will sustain you. 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.960 He was saying, I went through this terrible anxiety, thought 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.640 my life was over. I lived worried, overwhelmed. But now 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.240 that I'm out, having lived through it, here's what I'm 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.720 going to do differently next time. Here's how I can 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.800 save you a lot of heartache and pain. Cast your 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.199 anxieties on the Lord. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.960 Release the weight of those worries. Quit carrying things that 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:30.520 you're not. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.160 Supposed to carry. Turn it over to God. Trust him 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.040 in the trouble. Trust him when you don't see away, 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.960 Trust him when you don't understand, and he will sustain 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.480 you and bring you safely through. Are you holding on 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.640 to worries anxiety? What's going to happen with my child? 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.080 This situation at work is stressing me out, Joel, and 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.800 my health is not getting better. If David were here, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.280 he would tell you I was where you were. I 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.640 did the same then, so much so that I couldn't function. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.840 I was shaking. Don't do like I did. Release the 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:07.520 weight of it. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.080 Cast that burden on the Lord. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.800 As long as you hold on to it, it's going 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.480 to hold you down. You're holding on to what's holding 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.240 you back. And we wonder when God is going to 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.360 do something, But God's waiting for us to release it. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.280 Releasing it is an act of faith. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:26.320 God. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.400 I don't see how it's going to work out, but 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.600 I know you have a way. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:30.960 God. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.640 My child is not making good decisions, but I know 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.400 he's in. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.320 The palm of your hand. God. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.280 My business is slow, but I thank you that you're 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.680 supplying all of my needs. During the pandemic, when many 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.520 things closed down. One Sunday morning, I went to breakfast 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.120 with my family at this small outdoor restaurant. This is 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.080 when there were no in person services, only online. We 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.480 would record the Sunday service on Friday, so I was 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.680 free on the weekends. I told my family I have 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.760 never been to breakfast on a Sunday morning in all 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:05.400 of my life. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.480 We were always in church. If you were somewhere else 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.360 on Sunday morning, you were going to hell. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.760 But with all this disruption and all the changes, like 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.960 a lot of people, I felt this uneasiness, this anxiety, 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.760 like something was wrong. Everything was great, in my life. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.720 But deep down there was this gnawing something's not right. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.920 Be going through the day out of nowhere, this sense 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.240 of gloom, and wake up in the middle of the night, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.680 these worriesome thoughts, something I had never experienced. But when 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.480 anxiety attacks, you can't just be passive and hope that 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:42.240 it goes away. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.200 There's something that we have to do. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.800 Paul said it in Philippians for be anxious for nothing. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:50.880 That's a bold statement. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.760 Come on, Paul, you mean we can not be anxious 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.240 over the uncertainty in our future during a pandemic, not 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.440 be anxious over this medical report, this trouble at work 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.320 that seems too good to be true. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.200 He goes on to tell us how it can happen. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:13.800 He said, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.400 let your request be known under God. Paul was saying, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.560 when anxiety attacks, don't try to do it on your own. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.760 Go to God in prayer, ask him for his health. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:31.600 It says, to pray with supplication. That means to lower yourself, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.360 to go in humility, admitting your dependence on him. 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:36.160 God. 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.920 I need you. I can't do this on my own. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.400 I don't see how my child's going to get back 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.359 on course. The medical reports not good. God By finances 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:45.760 are low. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.000 I'm depending on. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.640 Your goodness, your mercy, your favor. That's praying with supplication. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.880 Then it says with thanksgiving. Once you pray, once you 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.400 cast it on God, you need to shift into a 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:00.160 different mind and. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.880 Set no more God. I'm so worried. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.800 I don't see how I'm gonna make it. No, don't 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.400 go to God from a place of anxiety. Go to 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.640 him from a place of faith, a place of thanksgiving. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.480 That's showing God that you trust him. God, I thank 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.360 you that you are working in my life. I know 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.160 You're bigger than this trouble, bigger than this sickness, bigger 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.560 than this problem at work. You can stay in peace 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.160 knowing that God is fighting your battles. He's working out 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.520 his plan for your life. Paul goes on to say, 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.359 if you go to God with prayer, supplication and thanksgiving, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.520 then here's the promise. The peace of God, which passes 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.000 all understanding, will guard your heart and mind. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.160 Notice it's the peace of God. It's not normal peace. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.160 It's something you can't explain. It's peace in the midst 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.280 of the storm. It's peace when you're taking the treatment. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.040 It's peace when you're going through a breakup. It's peace 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.800 when you lost your loved one. It's peace when that 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:04.880 person did you wrong. 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.679 People will look at you. Aren't you depressed, worried, anxious? 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.480 How could you be so happy, so grateful? Just tell 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.640 them the peace I have didn't come from this world. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.920 It's not ordinary. It's peace from my heavenly Father. It's 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.200 peace that passes understanding. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.719 It's the peace that three Hebrew teenagers felt. They wouldn't 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.399 bow down to the king's golden idol, and he was 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.640 going to have them thrown into a fiery furnace. They 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.080 had a great opportunity to be anxious. They were facing 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:42.000 an impossible situation. They understood this principle that God is 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.560 in control, that nothing can happen to you without his permission. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.360 They made this decision to be anxious for nothing. I'm 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.480 sure they felt anxiety. They went to God. They asked 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.880 for his health, They prayed with supplication, they thanked him. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:06.840 What happened, Peace that passes understanding showed up. They weren't worried, complaining, God, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.200 where are you? They weren't fighting with the guards trying 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.400 to throw them into the furnace. They had peace when 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.480 they should have been panicked. They were calm in the 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.160 midst of chaos. When you learn to cast the worries 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.439 and cast the anxieties, you'll not only have supernatural peace, 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.040 but you'll see God. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.400 Do supernatural things. 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.280 This king was so furious he told the officials to 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.960 turn up the fire seven times hotter than normal. These 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.879 teenagers said, in effect, King, you don't control our destiny. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.080 God does. If it's not our time to go, this 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.640 fire is not going to harm us. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.240 I can hear him laughing, Yeah, right, we'll see. They 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.240 bound their hands and feed threw them into the fire. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.240 In a few minutes, the king came and looked through 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.760 the furnace window. He said, didn't we throw three men 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.439 in bound? I see four men loose, and one like 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:05.119 the son of God. They went into the furnace in peace, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.840 and the God of Peace joined them, just to make 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.679 sure everything turned out right. If you'll stay in peace, 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:18.320 go into the fire the trouble, the sickness, not upset, anxious, 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.440 what's going to happen? Then the God of Peace will 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.880 join you in the fire like them. You'll come out 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:30.200 without the smell of smoke. God will fight for you. You 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.680 may be in that fire now and you're tempted to panic. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.680 Live up tight. No, it's time to start casting. 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.840 Cast the care cast, the anxiety cast, the worry. 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.639 God has you in the palm of his hand. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.240 He didn't bring you this far to leave you. He's 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.040 done it in the past, and he's going to do 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:54.120 it this time. But defeating anxiety requires trust. You may 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.959 not know all the answers, you don't see how it 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.240 can work out, but God has it all figured out. 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.040 His ways are not our ways. We think natural, but 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.720 God is supernatural. He's already planned out your days for good. 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.320 It may not be good right now because there are 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.520 pieces missing, but when God brings it all together, it 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.960 will be better than you've imagined. Trust him when you 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.480 don't understand. Sometimes we're anxious over the future, over. 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.159 What might happen. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:31.240 Other times we're anxious over the past mistakes we've made, regrets, 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.639 things that could come back to haunt us. But I 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:38.119 love When God brought the Israelites through the Red Sea. 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.040 He didn't just make a way for them to escape, 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.520 but he drowned all of their enemies. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:45.560 If he would have just brought them out. 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.919 They would have always lived with the threat that the 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:54.080 Pharaoh and those powerful warriors could confine them. The Israelites 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.960 would have lived in fear, always thinking in the back 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.000 of their mind that they could be coming looking over 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.360 their shoulder. There would have been this lingering, worry, lingering 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.640 anxiety they'd always be dealing with. But when God drowned 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.280 their enemies, he put an end to what could harm them. 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.800 In other words, he freed them from their past. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:20.080 You may have that lingering anxiety, always trying to remind 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.520 you of what might happen, those mistakes catching up to you, 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.360 those regrets coming to light. Can I tell you the 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.640 threat has been taken care of. God has put an 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.320 end to what you're worried about. You don't have to 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:38.080 live worried, afraid, anxious. He didn't just part your red sea, 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.639 didn't just bring you through the difficulties. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.400 But he's drowned those enemies. 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.080 He's drowned the guilt, the shame, the opposition. What was 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.880 trying to harm you has already been defeated. 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:51.840 But here's the whole key. 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.280 The enemy would love for you to live anxious over 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.000 a threat that's already taken care of. He'll make a 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.280 lot of noise in your thoughts. What if they come back, 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.879 What if they make you look bad? What if this 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.960 taints your future? David said the threats from his enemies 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.800 were tormenting him. The threats were causing him to have anxiety. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.760 Threats can be powerful until you realize those enemies are 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:18.600 no longer here. 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.560 Those enemies have already been defeated. 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:26.080 Now you can live free, you can live happy. You 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.520 can move forward in faith knowing that your past has 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:30.479 been taken care of. 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:35.000 When those threats come back to your mind telling you to. 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:39.120 Worry, something's wrong, you feel that anxiety rising up. 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.119 Don't take the bait. Go get your fishing rod and 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.600 let out a big cast. No thanks. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.879 Pharaoh is defeated, My past is forgiven, My enemies have 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:49.879 been taken care of. 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:51.520 I'm gonna live my life. 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:55.920 In Victory Act, chapter twelve, Peter was put in prison 0:22:56.040 --> 0:23:00.359 for sharing his faith. King Agrippa had already had James, 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.280 one of the apostles, killed. When he saw how that 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.600 pleased the people, he had them arrest Peter. He was 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.320 in the deepest part of the dungeon, his hands and 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:14.000 feet and chains with sixteen soldiers guarding him. The next 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.440 day he was going to be brought to trial. Peter 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.320 knew his life could be just over in twenty four hours. 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.439 He knew what they had done to James. Now he 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:25.880 was next in line. 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.119 You would think he would be so worried, pacing the 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:30.560 floor complaining. 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.040 But in the middle of the night. 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:37.480 An angel came to rescue Peter. The scripture says something interesting. 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:41.919 The angel had to wake Peter up. How could he 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:45.439 be sleeping knowing the next day he could lose his life. 0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:50.040 That's the peace that passes understanding. That's peace that doesn't 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:53.840 make sense. That's what happens when you learn to turn 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:54.679 it over to God. 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.240 I'd love to think that I have that much faith, 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.919 but I'd probably be calling the prayer line the floor. 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.040 Cause somebody prayed for me. God do something. But here's 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:04.400 the key. 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:09.080 When you rest, God goes to work. When you work, 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.760 you're uptight. Worry God, there's a deadline. This doesn't look good. 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:18.560 He killed James. Begging God doesn't necessarily get his attention. 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.879 But when you're in peace, that's a place of power. 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.040 When you cast those cares, not only do you get peace, 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.040 not only can you sleep in the storm. But the 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:33.159 creator of the universe goes to work, supernatural things will happen. 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.000 The chains fell off of Peter, the gates open of 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:41.080 their own accord. He was invisible to those sixteen soldiers 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:41.760 guarding him. 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.240 He walked out a free man. It's not a. 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:49.000 Coincidence that Peter was the one that wrote cast all 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:53.359 your anxieties on him. He was saying, I know what 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.760 it's like to face anxiety. I've been there to have 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.359 things come against you when you don't see a way out. 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:04.119 Lots of worry and fear bombard your mind. If Peter 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.560 were here today, he would tell you the antidote to 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:11.840 anxiety is to turn it over to God. Don't carry it, 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.400 cast it, don't go around dwelling on all the negative, 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.480 trying to figure it out, focused on to what ifs. 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.400 Put it all in God's hands. 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:25.280 That's when you'll have peace that passes understanding. Are you 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:29.240 carrying things you need to be casting? Are you holding 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:32.960 onto weights that you should be releasing. You can walk 0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:37.760 out of here today, lighter, freer, with more joy. Don't 0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.479 wait for things to change and then you're gonna quit worrying. 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:42.719 Joel, when my health turns around. 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:47.400 When my child straightens up, when this situation at work resolved. 0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:48.720 Then I'll be able to sleep at night. 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.520 No, if you'll start casting those cares, you can have 0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.200 peace while you're waiting for things to improve. 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.679 Peter was not just in prison. He was in peace. 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.679 He wasn't just locked in chains, he was locked in peace. 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.600 He wasn't just guarded by those soldiers, he was guarded 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:13.200 by peace. The outside circumstances don't determine your peace. It's 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:17.720 what's happening on the inside. When you're connected to your creator, 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:22.959 When you've learned to pray with supplication, admitting your dependence 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:27.639 on God, with thanksgiving instead of worrying, thanking him that 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:32.080 he's working, then when difficulties come, you can say, like Peter, 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:33.880 I'm not just in trouble. 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:34.760 I'm in peace. 0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:38.680 I'm not just in the hospital. I'm in peace. I'm 0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:42.439 not just in debt. Business is struggling, I'm in peace. 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.400 I know God is fighting this battle. I know he 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:49.719 has the final say. That's when you'll experience peace that 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:54.320 passes understanding. Peace where you can sleep in the storm, 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.120 peace when the battle is raging around you. Peace when 0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:02.200 the medical report wasn't good. When you're in peace, you're 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.240 showing God that you trust him. 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:08.000 That's your faith at work. That's what activates his power. 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:11.919 You'll see him show out in your life. My prayer 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:15.040 for you is what Paul declared, is that you will 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:19.600 be anxious for nothing, that you'll learn to cast those cares. 0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.720 Releasing the weight of them. 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.800 No more living worry, letting threats hold you back, that 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.360 underlying feeling that something is wrong. And yes, you may 0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:32.800 have struggled with anxiety a long time, and those thoughts 0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:34.720 tell you that it's always going to be this way. 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:37.000 No, God is doing a new thing. 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:42.440 He sees like David when you feel overwhelmed. He sees 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:46.560 like Peter when the situation looks impossible. He sees like 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:49.720 the teenagers when you're doing the right thing but the 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.439 wrong thing has happened. He knows it's not easy, he 0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.320 knows forces have come against your mental health. 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:57.800 But look at you. 0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:01.719 You could be defeated, worried, but you're still trusting him. 0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:05.920 Can I encourage you your time is coming, that anxiety 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.800 is not how your story ends. It may happen quickly, 0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.040 or God may take you little by little, but know 0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:14.840 this you're coming out. 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:16.639 It is not permanent. 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:21.920 I believe and declare right now that spirit of anxiety is. 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:25.680 Being broken in the name of Jesus. I speak peace 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:26.080 to you. 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:30.680 I speak healing to your mind, your emotions, your body. 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.760 I speak a calm, undisturbed spirit. 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:38.000 The tide is changing in your favor right now. God 0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:42.440 is strengthening you. You're coming into new levels of joy, peace, 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:44.680 freedom and fulfillment. 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.680 I declare it, and if you receive it, can you 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:48.280 say amen? 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.960 I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:54.080 the Lord of your life. 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:55.480 Would you pray with me? 0:28:56.200 --> 0:29:00.280 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:01.160 into my heart. 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:03.560 I make you my Lord and Savior. 0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:06.880 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:07.680 born again. 0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.400 We'd love to send you some information on your new 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:11.240 walk with the Lord. 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:13.840 You can go to the website or text the number 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.080 on the screen.
