Refuse the whirlpool of Worry.
Worry is meditation on things that torment you. It is sin.
Worry is spoken or unspoken fears. You can stop it by meditating on the Word of God instead.
Worry kept the Israelites out of the Promised Land. Refuse to let it destroy you.
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me." (Ps. 138:7)
REMEMBER: you will never OUTGROW warfare. You simply must learn to fight.
SEVEN THINGS A WARRIOR IN THE LORD NEEDS TO HAVE
Mark 11:22
22-- And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23-- For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24-- Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
25-- And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26-- But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
(v22) Literally, "Have the faith of God" Such is possible or it would not be a command. Man was created with God's faith but doubt entered in at the fall (Gen. 3:1-7). Faith is restored in the new birth and if normally exercised and maintained it will grow to fullness and power (Rom. 1:5,17; 10:17; Gal. 2:20; Col. 1:23; 2:6,7; 2Th. 1-3; 2Pet. 1:1-5)
Are you born-again?
Are you growing?
If you are growing, there will be some signs of the growth. If you don't SEE signs of the growth, something is wrong. You need a check-up. Where does the problem exist? Are you studying and meditating on the Word of God? Are you praying and communicating with God? Are you obeying the prompting of the Holy Spirit? Are you walking in love? Are you faithful to God in ALL things? Do you have sin in your life?
If you are growing, keep feeding on the Word of God. The Word of God is equipped with all that is needed to maintain a proper spiritual diet.
If you are not growing, start immediately with large doses of the Word of God. Be sure to add prayer along with the reading of the Word. In order to SEE results you will have to be consistent.
REMEMBER: God has a plan for your life. In order to carry out the plan, you will have to maintain good spiritual health. The weak will not be able to carry out the plan. The opposition is to strong.
10 conditions for answered Prayer
When you are faced with life's problems, I understand that it is hard to make yourself do what is right ALL the time. But with the Word of God in your heart you will have the faith and courage to do what is required of you as a child of God. Without the Word of God in your heart you will not be able to stand up for the truth. The Bible says having done ALL to STAND, STAND. So remember the next time you are tempted to quit or just give up, you are commanded by God to STAND. Make a firm decision to ALWAYS be faithful to the Word of God. We are mighty men & women of valor. We are more than conquers. We are the Children of God. Let us put on the whole armor of God. We are READY for battle. The Captain of the Lord's Host is on our side. We do not have to be afraid. Don't let the enemy mess with you. IN JESUS YOU ARE A WINNER.
