We'd love to have you 45 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 6: be a part of one of our services, but I 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 6: like to start with something funny. 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: And I heard about this mother. 48 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 6: One Sunday morning, she went to her son's bedroom and said, son, 49 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 6: wake up, it's time to go to church. He said, no, Mom, 50 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 6: I'm not going to church today. She said why not? 51 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 4: He said, I'll give you two good reasons. 52 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 6: Number one, I don't like the people, and number two, 53 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 6: they don't like me. She said, all right, I'll give 54 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 6: you two better reasons to go. Number one, you're forty 55 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 6: nine years old, and number two, you're the pastor. Say 56 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 6: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 57 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 6: am what it says I am. I have what it 58 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 6: says I have. I can do what it says I 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 6: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 60 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 61 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 62 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 6: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 63 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 6: the antidote for anxiety. We all have opportunities to live 64 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 6: anxious and worried about the future and wondering what's going 65 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 6: to happen with our children. 66 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 4: Our finances, our health. 67 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: There's always something trying to steal our peace. If you 68 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 6: watch the news, you hear about inflation, violence, wars, division. 69 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 6: A recent article talked about how we're in an epidemic 70 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 6: of anxiety. There's never been so much coming against our 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 6: mental health. 72 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: But that's not the way we were created to live. 73 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 6: The scripture says, cast all your anxieties on him. One 74 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 6: antidote for anxiety is you have to give it to God. 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 6: You can't go around carrying everything, trying to figure it 76 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 6: all out, living in tomorrow. 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: Wondering how it's going to work out. 78 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 6: What if my health doesn't improve, and what if my 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 6: company has layoffs. 80 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: And this family member did me wrong. I got to 81 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: fix that. 82 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 6: You're weighing yourself down carrying things you were never meant 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 6: to carry. 84 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: That's why you can feel worn out, not able to 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: sleep at night. 86 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 6: Do yourself a favor and start casting those anxieties. They're 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 6: going to come, but if you're going to stay in peace, 88 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 6: you have to get good at. 89 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: Turning them over to God. The word cast is an 90 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: action word. 91 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 6: When you're fishing, you cast the rod. It's not a 92 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 6: complacent underhand. Let me just toss it out there. No, 93 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 6: you forcefully swing your arm and aggressively flick your wrists. 94 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 6: There's action and energy in the same way. Anxiety is 95 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 6: not going to just fall. 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: Off of you. 97 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 6: Worry is not going to go away on its own. 98 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 6: You can't just sit back and hope that things will change. 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 6: You have to do some casting. When thoughts come. What's 100 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 6: going to happen with your children. There's so many distractions 101 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 6: these days, they're going to probably get in trouble. You 102 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 6: can dwell on those thoughts, let them weigh you down, 103 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 6: cause them to live anxious. Or you can say, no, thanks, 104 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 6: My children are in God's hands Father, thank you that 105 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 6: you're p detecting them, causing them to make good decisions. 106 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: That as for me and my house, we will serve 107 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: the Lord. You know what you did. You just cast 108 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: those anxieties on him. Have you seen the news. 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 6: About the economy, inflation, gas prices? What if things keep 110 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 6: going up, What if your business doesn't make it, what 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 6: if you can't pay your bills? The enemy would love 112 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 6: for you to worry about things that are never going 113 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 6: to happen. He'd love for you to miss the beauty 114 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 6: of this day because you're so anxious about tomorrow. Don't 115 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 6: fall into that trap. God has not failed you in 116 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 6: the past, and he's not going to fail you now. 117 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 6: My father used to say when I was growing up, 118 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 6: if bread goes to a dollar a loaf, and gasoline 119 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 6: to a dollar a gallon, God will take care of us. 120 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: If Daddy could see us. Now, God is faithful. 121 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 4: Let me tell you. 122 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 6: If prices go up, the good news is God's provision 123 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 6: is going to go up. God is not up in 124 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 6: heaven then, man and I didn't see this coming. I 125 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 6: didn't know if lation was going to be this high. 126 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 6: God owns it all. He makes streets out of gold. 127 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 6: You get stressed looking at the future, anticipating the worst, 128 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 6: higher cost, higher bills. What you're not anticipating is the 129 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 6: goodness of God. David said, I was young, Now I'm old. 130 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: I have never once seen the righteous forsaken. 131 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 6: Instead of carrying that anxiety, do yourself a favor, start 132 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 6: casting it. 133 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 4: I read where the largest. 134 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 6: Increase in anxiety is among young people. There's so much 135 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 6: pressure these days with social media. There's the comparison, am 136 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 6: I good enough, pretty enough, smart enough? Do I have 137 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 6: enough followers? Am I popular? If you fall into that trap. 138 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 6: You'll never feel good about yourself because you'll always see 139 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 6: someone that's more talented, more beautiful, more successful. There will 140 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 6: be this pressure to outperform, outdress, more friends, more talents, 141 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 6: more compliments. That's a never ending cycle that's not only 142 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 6: going to wear you out and take. 143 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 4: Your joy, your peace, but you'll. 144 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 6: Miss who you were created to be trying to keep 145 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 6: up with everyone else. Take that pressure off yourself. That's 146 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 6: what's causing anxiety. How can I keep up? You don't 147 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 6: have to keep up. You're not competing with them. Run 148 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 6: your race, be who God made you to be. Well, 149 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 6: I can't do what they can do. They can't do 150 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: what you can do. Your talented you're gifted. They're so beautiful. 151 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 6: You're so beautiful, You're a masterpiece. You're made in the 152 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 6: image of God. Well, they're more popular. Popularity is fleeting. 153 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: It can change in a minute. 154 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 6: Psalm fifty five. David was dealing with anxiety. He said, 155 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 6: I'm overwhelmed with trouble. My enemies are making loud threats. 156 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 6: My heart is anxious, with so much fear and trembling. 157 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 4: I can't stop shaking. 158 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 6: That's some serious anxiety. Now, David was a warrior. He 159 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 6: had defeated Goliath, conquered cities, led the Israelites into great victories. 160 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 6: But now he's overwhelmed, so anxious that he can't move forward. 161 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 6: Dealing with anxiety doesn't mean that you're weak, you don't 162 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 6: have enough faith. 163 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,239 Speaker 4: You must have done something wrong. 164 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 6: The enemy wouldn't be trying to stop you if he 165 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 6: didn't know there was a calling on your life. He 166 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 6: knows there's greatness in you, that you're on the verge 167 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 6: of seeing a new level. That's why I'll try to 168 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 6: make you feel overwhelmed, worried. 169 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 4: About the future. Think it is not going to work out. 170 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 6: Thoughts will tell you it's never gonna change, You'll always 171 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 6: have to deal with this anxiety. Don't believe those lies. 172 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 6: The anxiety is not permanent. It's not going to last forever. 173 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 6: It's a season. 174 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: This too shall pass now. 175 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 6: Sometimes God will bring you out quickly. Other times he'll 176 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 6: take you little by little. Don't be discouraged if you 177 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 6: don't see anything changing. God is working every day. You 178 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 6: need to declare, I'm getting better, my mind is at peace, 179 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 6: my heart is at rest, I am free from this anxiety. 180 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 6: David had been attacked by King Saul and attacked by 181 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 6: his son Absalom, attacked in the city of Ziglag. He 182 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 6: handled those attacks well. He went out and defeated and. 183 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: Recovered, was victorious. 184 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 6: But when anxiety attacked, it was a different story. 185 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: He didn't think he could go on. 186 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 6: The most powerful attacks are not physical, but mental. That's 187 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 6: why the enemy works overtime in the mind. Anxiety, fear, worry. 188 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 6: It's not gonna work out, You'll never get well, You'll 189 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 6: always be alone. 190 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 4: What are you gonna do? 191 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 6: David was sitting there, overwhelmed, shaking, believing the lives of 192 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 6: the enemy. Anxiety attack could have been the end of 193 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 6: David's story. 194 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: This could be the last time we read about him. 195 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,359 Speaker 6: The anxiety won and he faded off into the sunset. 196 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: Now David did. 197 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 6: Something that we all must do when anxiety attack. Instead 198 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 6: of just sitting there, he said in verse sixteen, I 199 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 6: will call on the name of the Lord, and he 200 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 6: will rescue me. He will keep me safe from the 201 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 6: battle raised against me when anxiety attacks. Often we call 202 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 6: our friends, call our neighbor, call our parents. That's all fine, 203 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 6: but you need to make sure you call on the 204 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 6: name of the Lord, call on the god who created. 205 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 4: You Call on the God who brings dead things back 206 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: to life. Call on the God who. 207 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 6: Is more powerful than any force that's trying to stop you. 208 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 4: He said in Psalms. 209 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 6: Call under me in the day of trouble, and I 210 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 6: will strengthen you, and I will deliver you. If you'll 211 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 6: call unto him, he'll give you the strength you know 212 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 6: until the deliverance comes. Every morning you need to call Lord, 213 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 6: thank you for strengthening me today. Thank you that this 214 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 6: anxiety cannot stay in my life. I am a temple 215 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: of a most taigh God. Anxiety, you are on foreign territory. 216 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 6: You are not welcome here. 217 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: Don't be complacent. Don't just accept it. 218 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 6: Oh man, my anxiety is acting up today. My depression 219 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 6: is really bad. Don't take ownership of it. It doesn't 220 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 6: belong to you. The moment you say my, you're giving 221 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 6: it permission to stay. It's like you're inviting it into 222 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 6: your life. Instead of inviting it, you need to start 223 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 6: casting it away. See that anxiety as foreign, as not welcome, 224 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 6: and as temporary. David went through this anxiety attack. We 225 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 6: don't know how long it was, whether it's weeks, whether 226 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 6: it's months, but. 227 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: When it was over. 228 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 6: At the end of the chapter, he gives us what 229 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 6: he learned. He said in verse twenty two, that's your. 230 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 4: Burdens on the Lord. 231 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 6: Release the weight of them, and he will sustain you. 232 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 6: He was saying, I went through this terrible anxiety, thought 233 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 6: my life was over. I lived worried, overwhelmed. But now 234 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 6: that I'm out, having lived through it, here's what I'm 235 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 6: going to do differently next time. Here's how I can 236 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 6: save you a lot of heartache and pain. Cast your 237 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 6: anxieties on the Lord. 238 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 4: Release the weight of those worries. Quit carrying things that 239 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: you're not. 240 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 6: Supposed to carry. Turn it over to God. Trust him 241 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 6: in the trouble. Trust him when you don't see away, 242 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 6: Trust him when you don't understand, and he will sustain 243 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 6: you and bring you safely through. Are you holding on 244 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 6: to worries anxiety? What's going to happen with my child? 245 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 6: This situation at work is stressing me out, Joel, and 246 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 6: my health is not getting better. If David were here, 247 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 6: he would tell you I was where you were. I 248 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 6: did the same then, so much so that I couldn't function. 249 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 6: I was shaking. Don't do like I did. Release the 250 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 6: weight of it. 251 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: Cast that burden on the Lord. 252 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 6: As long as you hold on to it, it's going 253 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 6: to hold you down. You're holding on to what's holding 254 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 6: you back. And we wonder when God is going to 255 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 6: do something, But God's waiting for us to release it. 256 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 6: Releasing it is an act of faith. 257 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 4: God. 258 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 6: I don't see how it's going to work out, but 259 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 6: I know you have a way. 260 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 4: God. 261 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 6: My child is not making good decisions, but I know 262 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 6: he's in. 263 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: The palm of your hand. God. 264 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 6: My business is slow, but I thank you that you're 265 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 6: supplying all of my needs. During the pandemic, when many 266 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 6: things closed down. One Sunday morning, I went to breakfast 267 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 6: with my family at this small outdoor restaurant. This is 268 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 6: when there were no in person services, only online. We 269 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 6: would record the Sunday service on Friday, so I was 270 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 6: free on the weekends. I told my family I have 271 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 6: never been to breakfast on a Sunday morning in all 272 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 6: of my life. 273 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: We were always in church. If you were somewhere else 274 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: on Sunday morning, you were going to hell. 275 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 6: But with all this disruption and all the changes, like 276 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 6: a lot of people, I felt this uneasiness, this anxiety, 277 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 6: like something was wrong. Everything was great, in my life. 278 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 6: But deep down there was this gnawing something's not right. 279 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 6: Be going through the day out of nowhere, this sense 280 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 6: of gloom, and wake up in the middle of the night, 281 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 6: these worriesome thoughts, something I had never experienced. But when 282 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 6: anxiety attacks, you can't just be passive and hope that 283 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 6: it goes away. 284 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 4: There's something that we have to do. 285 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 6: Paul said it in Philippians for be anxious for nothing. 286 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 4: That's a bold statement. 287 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 6: Come on, Paul, you mean we can not be anxious 288 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 6: over the uncertainty in our future during a pandemic, not 289 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 6: be anxious over this medical report, this trouble at work 290 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 6: that seems too good to be true. 291 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 4: He goes on to tell us how it can happen. 292 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 6: He said, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, 293 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 6: let your request be known under God. Paul was saying, 294 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 6: when anxiety attacks, don't try to do it on your own. 295 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 6: Go to God in prayer, ask him for his health. 296 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: It says, to pray with supplication. That means to lower yourself, 297 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 6: to go in humility, admitting your dependence on him. 298 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 4: God. 299 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 6: I need you. I can't do this on my own. 300 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 6: I don't see how my child's going to get back 301 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,359 Speaker 6: on course. The medical reports not good. God By finances 302 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 6: are low. 303 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: I'm depending on. 304 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 6: Your goodness, your mercy, your favor. That's praying with supplication. 305 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 6: Then it says with thanksgiving. Once you pray, once you 306 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: cast it on God, you need to shift into a 307 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 6: different mind and. 308 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: Set no more God. I'm so worried. 309 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 6: I don't see how I'm gonna make it. No, don't 310 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 6: go to God from a place of anxiety. Go to 311 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 6: him from a place of faith, a place of thanksgiving. 312 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 6: That's showing God that you trust him. God, I thank 313 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: you that you are working in my life. I know 314 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 6: You're bigger than this trouble, bigger than this sickness, bigger 315 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 6: than this problem at work. You can stay in peace 316 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 6: knowing that God is fighting your battles. He's working out 317 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 6: his plan for your life. Paul goes on to say, 318 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,359 Speaker 6: if you go to God with prayer, supplication and thanksgiving, 319 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 6: then here's the promise. The peace of God, which passes 320 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 6: all understanding, will guard your heart and mind. 321 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 4: Notice it's the peace of God. It's not normal peace. 322 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 6: It's something you can't explain. It's peace in the midst 323 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 6: of the storm. It's peace when you're taking the treatment. 324 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 6: It's peace when you're going through a breakup. It's peace 325 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 6: when you lost your loved one. It's peace when that 326 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 6: person did you wrong. 327 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 4: People will look at you. Aren't you depressed, worried, anxious? 328 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 6: How could you be so happy, so grateful? Just tell 329 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 6: them the peace I have didn't come from this world. 330 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 4: It's not ordinary. It's peace from my heavenly Father. It's 331 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 4: peace that passes understanding. 332 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 6: It's the peace that three Hebrew teenagers felt. They wouldn't 333 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 6: bow down to the king's golden idol, and he was 334 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 6: going to have them thrown into a fiery furnace. They 335 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 6: had a great opportunity to be anxious. They were facing 336 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 6: an impossible situation. They understood this principle that God is 337 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 6: in control, that nothing can happen to you without his permission. 338 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 6: They made this decision to be anxious for nothing. I'm 339 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 6: sure they felt anxiety. They went to God. They asked 340 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 6: for his health, They prayed with supplication, they thanked him. 341 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 6: What happened, Peace that passes understanding showed up. They weren't worried, complaining, God, 342 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 6: where are you? They weren't fighting with the guards trying 343 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 6: to throw them into the furnace. They had peace when 344 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 6: they should have been panicked. They were calm in the 345 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 6: midst of chaos. When you learn to cast the worries 346 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 6: and cast the anxieties, you'll not only have supernatural peace, 347 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 6: but you'll see God. 348 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 4: Do supernatural things. 349 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 6: This king was so furious he told the officials to 350 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 6: turn up the fire seven times hotter than normal. These 351 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 6: teenagers said, in effect, King, you don't control our destiny. 352 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: God does. If it's not our time to go, this 353 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 4: fire is not going to harm us. 354 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 6: I can hear him laughing, Yeah, right, we'll see. They 355 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 6: bound their hands and feed threw them into the fire. 356 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 6: In a few minutes, the king came and looked through 357 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 6: the furnace window. He said, didn't we throw three men 358 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 6: in bound? I see four men loose, and one like 359 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 6: the son of God. They went into the furnace in peace, 360 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 6: and the God of Peace joined them, just to make 361 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 6: sure everything turned out right. If you'll stay in peace, 362 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 6: go into the fire the trouble, the sickness, not upset, anxious, 363 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 6: what's going to happen? Then the God of Peace will 364 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 6: join you in the fire like them. You'll come out 365 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 6: without the smell of smoke. God will fight for you. You 366 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 6: may be in that fire now and you're tempted to panic. 367 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 4: Live up tight. No, it's time to start casting. 368 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 6: Cast the care cast, the anxiety cast, the worry. 369 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: God has you in the palm of his hand. 370 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 6: He didn't bring you this far to leave you. He's 371 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 6: done it in the past, and he's going to do 372 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 6: it this time. But defeating anxiety requires trust. You may 373 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 6: not know all the answers, you don't see how it 374 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 6: can work out, but God has it all figured out. 375 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 6: His ways are not our ways. We think natural, but 376 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 6: God is supernatural. He's already planned out your days for good. 377 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 6: It may not be good right now because there are 378 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 6: pieces missing, but when God brings it all together, it 379 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 6: will be better than you've imagined. Trust him when you 380 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 6: don't understand. Sometimes we're anxious over the future, over. 381 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 4: What might happen. 382 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 6: Other times we're anxious over the past mistakes we've made, regrets, 383 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 6: things that could come back to haunt us. But I 384 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 6: love When God brought the Israelites through the Red Sea. 385 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 6: He didn't just make a way for them to escape, 386 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 6: but he drowned all of their enemies. 387 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: If he would have just brought them out. 388 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 6: They would have always lived with the threat that the 389 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 6: Pharaoh and those powerful warriors could confine them. The Israelites 390 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 6: would have lived in fear, always thinking in the back 391 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 6: of their mind that they could be coming looking over 392 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 6: their shoulder. There would have been this lingering, worry, lingering 393 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 6: anxiety they'd always be dealing with. But when God drowned 394 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 6: their enemies, he put an end to what could harm them. 395 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 4: In other words, he freed them from their past. 396 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 6: You may have that lingering anxiety, always trying to remind 397 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 6: you of what might happen, those mistakes catching up to you, 398 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 6: those regrets coming to light. Can I tell you the 399 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 6: threat has been taken care of. God has put an 400 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 6: end to what you're worried about. You don't have to 401 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 6: live worried, afraid, anxious. He didn't just part your red sea, 402 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 6: didn't just bring you through the difficulties. 403 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 4: But he's drowned those enemies. 404 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 6: He's drowned the guilt, the shame, the opposition. What was 405 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 6: trying to harm you has already been defeated. 406 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 4: But here's the whole key. 407 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 6: The enemy would love for you to live anxious over 408 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 6: a threat that's already taken care of. He'll make a 409 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 6: lot of noise in your thoughts. What if they come back, 410 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 6: What if they make you look bad? What if this 411 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 6: taints your future? David said the threats from his enemies 412 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 6: were tormenting him. The threats were causing him to have anxiety. 413 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 6: Threats can be powerful until you realize those enemies are 414 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 6: no longer here. 415 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 4: Those enemies have already been defeated. 416 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 6: Now you can live free, you can live happy. You 417 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 6: can move forward in faith knowing that your past has 418 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 6: been taken care of. 419 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: When those threats come back to your mind telling you to. 420 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 6: Worry, something's wrong, you feel that anxiety rising up. 421 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 4: Don't take the bait. Go get your fishing rod and 422 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 4: let out a big cast. No thanks. 423 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 6: Pharaoh is defeated, My past is forgiven, My enemies have 424 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 6: been taken care of. 425 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: I'm gonna live my life. 426 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 6: In Victory Act, chapter twelve, Peter was put in prison 427 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 6: for sharing his faith. King Agrippa had already had James, 428 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 6: one of the apostles, killed. When he saw how that 429 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 6: pleased the people, he had them arrest Peter. He was 430 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 6: in the deepest part of the dungeon, his hands and 431 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 6: feet and chains with sixteen soldiers guarding him. The next 432 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 6: day he was going to be brought to trial. Peter 433 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 6: knew his life could be just over in twenty four hours. 434 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 4: He knew what they had done to James. Now he 435 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 4: was next in line. 436 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 6: You would think he would be so worried, pacing the 437 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 6: floor complaining. 438 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: But in the middle of the night. 439 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 6: An angel came to rescue Peter. The scripture says something interesting. 440 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 6: The angel had to wake Peter up. How could he 441 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 6: be sleeping knowing the next day he could lose his life. 442 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: That's the peace that passes understanding. That's peace that doesn't 443 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: make sense. That's what happens when you learn to turn 444 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 4: it over to God. 445 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 6: I'd love to think that I have that much faith, 446 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 6: but I'd probably be calling the prayer line the floor. 447 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: Cause somebody prayed for me. God do something. But here's 448 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 4: the key. 449 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 6: When you rest, God goes to work. When you work, 450 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 6: you're uptight. Worry God, there's a deadline. This doesn't look good. 451 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 6: He killed James. Begging God doesn't necessarily get his attention. 452 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 4: But when you're in peace, that's a place of power. 453 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 6: When you cast those cares, not only do you get peace, 454 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 6: not only can you sleep in the storm. But the 455 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 6: creator of the universe goes to work, supernatural things will happen. 456 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 6: The chains fell off of Peter, the gates open of 457 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 6: their own accord. He was invisible to those sixteen soldiers 458 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 6: guarding him. 459 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: He walked out a free man. It's not a. 460 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 6: Coincidence that Peter was the one that wrote cast all 461 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 6: your anxieties on him. He was saying, I know what 462 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 6: it's like to face anxiety. I've been there to have 463 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 6: things come against you when you don't see a way out. 464 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 6: Lots of worry and fear bombard your mind. If Peter 465 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 6: were here today, he would tell you the antidote to 466 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 6: anxiety is to turn it over to God. Don't carry it, 467 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 6: cast it, don't go around dwelling on all the negative, 468 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 6: trying to figure it out, focused on to what ifs. 469 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 4: Put it all in God's hands. 470 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 6: That's when you'll have peace that passes understanding. Are you 471 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 6: carrying things you need to be casting? Are you holding 472 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 6: onto weights that you should be releasing. You can walk 473 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 6: out of here today, lighter, freer, with more joy. Don't 474 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 6: wait for things to change and then you're gonna quit worrying. 475 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 4: Joel, when my health turns around. 476 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 6: When my child straightens up, when this situation at work resolved. 477 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 4: Then I'll be able to sleep at night. 478 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 6: No, if you'll start casting those cares, you can have 479 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 6: peace while you're waiting for things to improve. 480 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 4: Peter was not just in prison. He was in peace. 481 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 4: He wasn't just locked in chains, he was locked in peace. 482 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 6: He wasn't just guarded by those soldiers, he was guarded 483 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 6: by peace. The outside circumstances don't determine your peace. It's 484 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 6: what's happening on the inside. When you're connected to your creator, 485 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 6: When you've learned to pray with supplication, admitting your dependence 486 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 6: on God, with thanksgiving instead of worrying, thanking him that 487 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 6: he's working, then when difficulties come, you can say, like Peter, 488 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 6: I'm not just in trouble. 489 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: I'm in peace. 490 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 6: I'm not just in the hospital. I'm in peace. I'm 491 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 6: not just in debt. Business is struggling, I'm in peace. 492 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 6: I know God is fighting this battle. I know he 493 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 6: has the final say. That's when you'll experience peace that 494 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 6: passes understanding. Peace where you can sleep in the storm, 495 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 6: peace when the battle is raging around you. Peace when 496 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 6: the medical report wasn't good. When you're in peace, you're 497 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 6: showing God that you trust him. 498 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 4: That's your faith at work. That's what activates his power. 499 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 6: You'll see him show out in your life. My prayer 500 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 6: for you is what Paul declared, is that you will 501 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 6: be anxious for nothing, that you'll learn to cast those cares. 502 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 4: Releasing the weight of them. 503 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 6: No more living worry, letting threats hold you back, that 504 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 6: underlying feeling that something is wrong.
