Speaker 1: We are so glad that you joined us for this podcast.

00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: We believe that this is going to be a great February.

Speaker 2: for a blessed twenty twenty four. Enjoy the message.

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: The other day, I got a phone call and the

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: voice on the other end of the phone said, Victoria,

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something, but don't worry about what

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you. Well, automatically, my worry was

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: kicked in. That was my first response. I thought, Oh

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, what do I have to worry about? You See,

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Sometimes our worry automatically kicks in without

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: us even knowing it. We just worry when a concern

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: or a care comes into our life. Now, this killer

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: problem was not huge, it wasn't monumental, but it was

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: a problem all the same. It was something that needed

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: to be resolved. So I had to push pause for

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a moment and make a decision. Was I going to

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: let this concern overtake me? Cause my mind to just

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: spin out of control, fret and worry until the problem

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: has resolved itself. Was I going to ruin my entire

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: day because of this concern? Or was I going to say, God,

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: you got to help me with this situation. God, I

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: got to present this to you. You know everything about me.

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: You said you'd fight my battles for me. Now, God,

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: I am giving this to you, and I'm going to

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: try to rest and hear everything you would want me

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: to hear from you. You see, we have to make

31
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: this choice. How are we going to handle this thing

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: called worry? Are we going to just work it in

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: our minds? You know? Sometimes I when I worry, it's

34
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: like I'm really doing something. I'm just working it, working it,

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: working it in my mind. I heard worry was a

36
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: lot like sitting in a rocking chair. You're doing something,

37
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: but it's getting you nowhere. We're just working it and

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: working it and working it in our minds, and that's

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: so unproductive. My question today is how are you handling worry?

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: Because how we handle worry and stress it's going to

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: make all the difference in our life. There's two sisters

42
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: in the Bible named Mary and Martha, you can find

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: their story in Luke. Mary and Martha, two sisters. They

44
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: had a brother. They were, obviously, from what the scholars say,

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: well to do people. So they had a lot going

46
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: on in their life. They had money to mandage, they

47
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: had a home to manage, They had a lot of

48
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: things happening. One day, Jesus came to their home. He

49
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: was going to stay with them, he was going to

50
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: fellowship with them. I'm sure they were so excited. I'm

51
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: sure that everybody in the town knew, Hey, Jesus is

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: coming over to my house, because this was a very

53
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: important person. So I'm sure they were preparing. They were

54
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: getting everything just perfect for Jesus. Jesus came to their home,

55
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and as they were fellowshipping and as they were enjoying Jesus,

56
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Jesus noticed something about Martha. She was buzzing around. She

57
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: was working it, working it, working it. And he said

58
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: to her, Martha, Martha, why are you so anxious and

59
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: troubled about so many things? You see, he had observed

60
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Martha as they were in this home. He saw how

61
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: she was handling all that to do that was going on. Contrast,

62
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: here's her sister Mary. Now Mary had as much responsibility

63
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: as Martha did. But Mary said, I'm gonna take this

64
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: opportunity when all my busyness and all the concerns that

65
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: I have to just linger here with Jesus because he's

66
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: at my house today. I want to sit at his feet.

67
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to pour out my heart to him so

68
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: he can pour in his thoughts to me. You see,

69
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: Martha was so disturbed that her sister would have the

70
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: audacity to sit at the feet of Jesus when there

71
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: was so much to do that she said, Jesus, you

72
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: need to tell my sister to come help me. She

73
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: needs to get up, and she needs to get in

74
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: this kitchen. There's the emails to answer, there's stuff on

75
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: the stove, the kids needed to be taken care of.

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of stuff to do, and she needs

77
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: to get up and she needs to help me. Can

78
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: you believe she would even say that to her? Guest

79
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: of honor, he said, to her, Mary has chosen the

80
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: one important thing. She's chosen that one thing. She's chosen

81
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: the better way. Now, let me just tell you this

82
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: right now, he said, there's one important thing. There's a

83
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: better way. Now. He was very much aware of the

84
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: legitimate concerns that these women had. The Bible says that

85
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Jesus said, in this world, you're gonna have trouble, You're

86
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna have hardship, You're gonna have some things that come

87
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: against you. But be of good cheer. I have already

88
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: overcome the world. Be of good cheer. I've already overcome

89
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: the world. I guess when you look at that scripture,

90
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: you can say, easy for you to say, Jesus, you

91
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: are God. I still have these troubles and these concerns.

92
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: But this is what he was saying. He wasn't saying

93
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't take your responsibility seriously. He wasn't saying

94
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: that there weren't legitimately things to be done. He was saying,

95
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: there's one important thing, and it's the better way. What

96
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: he was saying is all these concerns, all these crisis,

97
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: all these things that are coming against you, you need

98
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: to come hang around at my feet, linger in my presence,

99
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: because see, that's the one important thing that's going to

100
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: help you get through. That's the better way to handle

101
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: worry and stress. That's the better way to handle worry

102
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: and stress. You see, I believe that Mary somehow figured

103
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: out the better way, and she did it. It wasn't

104
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: that she was lazy, It wasn't that she didn't care.

105
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: Mary said, Look, this is my chance right now to

106
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: empty out the concern earns and to put in all

107
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: that God is. You see, that's the better way. Have

108
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: you ever planned a birthday party or a holiday celebration

109
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: at your house or some gathering and you were so

110
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: stressed out that you made your own self miserable and

111
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: maybe some of your friends and family as well. There's

112
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: a better way to handle the stresses of life. The

113
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: word worry comes from an old English word in the

114
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds that meant to strangle, to strangle. I think

115
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: that's an amazing interpretation of that word, because worry and

116
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: stress literally chokes the fun out of life. It literally

117
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: pressures us in every relationship that we have. It steals

118
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: our joy. Think about it. Jesus was at Martha's house.

119
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: She couldn't even enjoy the fact that Jesus was there.

120
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: She missed the whole beauty of the moment. She couldn't

121
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: calm down, relax and be peaceful. She allowed the stress

122
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: that was going on in her mind to strain the

123
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: relationship with her own sister. See, it was an attitude

124
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: that changed. Worry doesn't change anything but your personality. It

125
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: changes your disposition. It doesn't make the situation better. Actually

126
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: it makes the situation worse. I worked with a woman

127
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: several years ago, and she had some legitimate concerns in

128
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: her life, and I could see how it was affecting

129
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: her entire life. Her son was in the military and

130
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: he had been deployed to another country. She was extremely

131
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: concerned about his well being and if he was going

132
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: to make it, and how things were going. She was

133
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: so concerned and so worked up that I saw it

134
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: begin to change her disposition, change her personality. She could

135
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: hardly even function at work. And I said to her,

136
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: I said, look, there's got to be a better way

137
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: to handle the situation. I mean, he is there. There

138
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: is not a thing that you can do about it.

139
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: You've got to come to this place of peace and

140
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: rest in the Lord. So I begin to pray with her,

141
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: and then I begin to make some suggestions. I said, look,

142
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you need to get some scriptures. You need to have

143
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: them ready, just as your warfare. When these thoughts start

144
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: strangling your joy and your peace, you need to write

145
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: out some declarations. When you feel that tension coming against you,

146
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: you need to say God, thank you that my son

147
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: is in the palm of your hand. Thank you Father,

148
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Father, thank you,

149
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: your angels have charge over him to keep him in

150
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: all of his ways. He won't even dash his foot

151
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: against the stone, but he'll tread upon the lion and

152
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: the cobra, the young lions yaw he trample underfoot. Thank

153
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: you Father, you put a bloodline around him that the

154
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: enemy cannot cross. Father. I thank you Lord that my

155
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: son will come home safely. I begin to see her

156
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: put this into practice. Little by little, she began to

157
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: take control over that worry, and I could see the

158
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: strength come back. I could see her focus and her

159
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: resolve come back. She began to praise God in the

160
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: midst of her fear and her torment, and it made

161
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: all the difference in her life. You see, worry pulls

162
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: us away from God's power, but worship and praise draws

163
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: us to Him, and it changes the situation. I have

164
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a good news to report. Six years servant in the military,

165
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: and her son came home safely. He came home safely.

166
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: You see, worries await, it weighs us down, because this

167
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: is to not be productive. In fact, the Bible says,

168
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us

169
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: come on us. So you have to lay it aside

170
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: because it says that you have to run with purpose

171
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: in every step. And when you are weighed down, you

172
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: can't run. My sweet friend was so rayed down she

173
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: couldn't hardly get to work, much less run. You see,

174
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: when she began to lay aside that weight, she was

175
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: able to run out her purpose. See her prayers. Her

176
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: intercession for her son was much more powerful than her worry.

177
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: When she talked to him on the phone, she could say, son,

178
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: I want to tell you I'm praying for you. The

179
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: angels of the Lords have charge over you. You walk out

180
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: and you be bold with confidence, know that God Almighty

181
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: is looking after you. She could encourage him to pray

182
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: for himself. You see when she began who lay aside

183
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: the weight and run with purpose, she was way more effective.

184
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: There's a technique that I use, and I've used it

185
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: for years and it works for me. You just got

186
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: to find something that works for you. Right. So, when

187
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: I had these concerns in these troubles. I imagine a

188
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: big helium balloon, big beautiful balloon, red red balloon. It's

189
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: a power color. And I've again to put those troubles

190
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: in that balloon. And I imagine myself holding that balloon

191
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: by this string, holding it out in front of me,

192
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: with those troubles. And I look at that balloon and

193
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: I let it go, and I release it to God,

194
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: and I say, God, thank you that you're bigger than

195
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: all these troubles. Thank you that you love me, and

196
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: that you said you'd perfect those things that concern me.

197
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give them to you. These troubles are

198
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: just gonna go right at your feet, Jesus, You're gonna

199
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: take care of them. You see, sometimes I have to admit,

200
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to let go of a whole bouquet

201
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: of balloons. Do what you gotta do, Do what you

202
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: gotta do to release the worry and the care, because

203
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Jesus will sustain you when you release it to him. Listen,

204
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: if you feel the pressure, the stranglehold of worry coming

205
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: on you, even if it's automatic, push the pause button.

206
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: Let's be like Mary. Let's take a lesson from this woman,

207
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: and let's sit at his feet. Let's linger there for

208
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: a while. Let's empty out the concerns so that we'll

209
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: have room to receive his goodness, his thoughts towards us,

210
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: his wisdom, his joy. Listen, Wait, is only going to

211
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: weigh you down, But when you let it go to him,

212
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: all things can be new again. Amen.

213
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 3: Amen, breathtaking. That's what you feel when you look out

214
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,239
Speaker 3: at majestic mountain peaks. Yes, God's creation truly is a masterpiece.

215
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: But even as you consider his handiwork, you might also

216
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: feel bless that, not good enough or not valuable. The

217
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: image before you is incredible, but the confidence inside is lacking.

218
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: How do you overcome this?

219
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: The opinion you have of yourself is your most important opinion.

220
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: Too often we see ourselves as ordinary, not talented, unattractive.

221
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: That wrong self image is setting the limits for our lie.

222
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: The key is to get an agreement with who God

223
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: says you are. He calls you a masterpiece, strong, talented, valuable.

224
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: If you'll have the right image of your celf, you'll

225
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: rise higher and become who you were created to be.
