1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. Thanks for listening to our

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Friend, reappreciate you, and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: your line.

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: The other day, I got a phone call and the

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: voice on the other end of the phone said, Victoria,

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you something, but don't worry about what

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you. Well, automatically my worry was

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: kicked in. That was my first response. I thought, Oh

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: my gosh, what do I have to worry about? You See,

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: that's what happens. Sometimes our worry automatically kicks in without

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: us even knowing it. We just worry when a concern

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: or a care comes into our life. Now, this particular

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: problem was not huge, it wasn't monumental, but it was

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: a problem all the same. It was something that needed

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: to be resolved. So I had to push pause for

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: a moment and make a decision. Was I going to

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: let this concern overtake me, cause my mind to just

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: spin out of control, fret and worry until the problem

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: has resolved itself. Was I going to ruin my entire

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: day because of this concern. Or was I going to say, God,

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: you got to help me with this situation. God, I

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: got to present this to you. You know everything about me.

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: You said you'd fight my battles for me. Now, God,

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: I am giving this to you, and I'm going to

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: try to rest and hear everything you would want me

29
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: to hear from you. You see, we have to make

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: this choice. How are we going to handle this thing

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: called worry? Are we going to just work it in

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: our minds?

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: You know?

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes when I worry, it's like I'm really doing something.

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm just working it and working it, working it in

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: my mind. I heard worry was a lot like sitting

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: in a rocking chair. You're doing something, but it's getting

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: you nowhere. We're just working it and working it and

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: working it in our minds, and that's so unproductive. My

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: question today is how are you handling worry? Because how

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: we handle worry and stress it's going to make all

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: the difference in our life. There's two sisters in the

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: Bible named Mary and Martha. You can find their story

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: in Luke. Mary and Martha are two sisters. They had

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: a brother. They were obviously from what the scholars say,

46
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: well to do people. So they had a lot going

47
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: on in their life. They had money to manage, they

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: had a home to manage, they had a lot of

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: things happening. One day, Jesus came to their home. He

50
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: was going to stay with them, he was going to

51
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: fell ship with them. I'm sure they were so excited.

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure that everybody in the town knew, Hey, Jesus

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: is coming over to my house, because this was a

54
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: very important person. So I'm sure they were preparing. They

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: were getting everything just perfect for Jesus. Jesus came to

56
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: their home, and as they were fellowshipping and as they

57
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: were enjoying Jesus, Jesus noticed something about Martha. She was

58
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: buzzing around. She was working it, working it, working it.

59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: And he said to her, Martha, Martha, why are you

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: so anxious and troubled about so many things? You see,

61
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: he had observed Martha as they were in this home.

62
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: He saw how she was handling all that to do

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: that was going on. But in contrast, here's her sister Mary.

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Now Mary had as much responsibility as Martha did. But

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: Mary said, I'm going to take this opportunity when all

66
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: my busyness and all the concerns that I have to

67
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: just linger here with Jesus because he's at my house today.

68
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: I want to sit at his feet. I'm going to

69
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: pour out my heart to him so he can pour

70
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: in his thoughts to me. You see, Martha was so

71
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: disturbed that her sister would have the audacity to sit

72
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: at the feet of Jesus when there was so much

73
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: to do that she said, Jesus, you need to tell

74
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: my sister to come help me. She needs to get up,

75
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: and she needs to get in this kitchen. There's the

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: emails to answer, there's stuff on the stove, the kids

77
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: needed to be taken care of. There's a bunch of

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: stuff to do, and she needs to get up and

79
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: she needs to help me. Can you believe she would

80
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: even say that to her? Guest of honor, he said,

81
00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: to her, Mary has chosen the one important thing. He's

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: chosen that one thing. She's chosen the better way.

83
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Now.

84
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: Let me just tell you this right now, he said,

85
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: there's one important thing. There's a better way. Now. He

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: was very much aware of the legitimate concerns that these

87
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: women had. The Bible says that Jesus said, in this world,

88
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna have trouble, You're gonna have hardship, You're gonna

89
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: have some things that come against you. But be of

90
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: good cheer. I have already overcome the world. Be of

91
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: good cheer. I've already overcome the world. I guess when

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: you look at that scripture, you can say, easy for

93
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: you to say, Jesus, you are God. I still have

94
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: these troubles and these concerns. But this is what he

95
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: was saying. He wasn't saying that you shouldn't take your

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: responsibility seriously. He wasn't saying that there weren't legitimately things

97
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: to be done. He was saying, there's one important thing,

98
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: and it's the better way. What he was saying is

99
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: all these concerns, all these crisis, all these things that

100
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: are coming against you, you need to come hang around

101
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: at my feet, linger in my presence, because see, that's

102
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: the one important thing that's going to help you get through.

103
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: That's the better way to handle worry and stress. That's

104
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: the better way to handle worry and stress. You see,

105
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: I believe that Mary somehow figured out the better way,

106
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: and she did it. It wasn't that she was lazy.

107
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't that she didn't care. Mary said, Look, this

108
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: is my chance right now to empty out the concerns

109
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: and to put in all that God is. You See,

110
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: that's the better way. Have you ever planned a birthday

111
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: party or a holiday celebration at your house or some

112
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: gathering and you were so stressed out that you made

113
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: your own self miserable and maybe some of your friends

114
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: and family as well. There's a better way to handle

115
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: the stresses of life. The word worry comes from an

116
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: old English word in the fifteen hundreds that meant to strangle,

117
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: to strangle. I think that's an amazing interpretation of that word,

118
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: because worry and stress literally chokes the fun out of life.

119
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: It literally pressures us in every relationship that we have.

120
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: It steals our joy. Think about it. Jesus was at

121
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: Martha's house. She couldn't even enjoy the fact that Jesus

122
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: was there. She missed the whole beauty of the moment.

123
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: She couldn't calm down, relax and be peaceful. She allowed

124
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: the stress that was going on in her mind to

125
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: strain the relationship with their own sister. See, it was

126
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: an attitude that changed worry doesn't change anything but your personality.

127
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: It changes your disposition. It doesn't make the situation better.

128
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Actually it makes the situation worse. I worked with a

129
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: woman several years ago, and she had some legitimate concerns

130
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: in her life, and I could see how it was

131
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: affecting her entire life. Her son was in the military

132
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: and he had been deployed to another country. She was

133
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: extremely concerned about his well being and if he was

134
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: gonna make it, and how things were going. She was

135
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: so concerned and so worked up that I saw it

136
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: begin to change her disposition, change her personality. She could

137
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: hardly even function at work. And I said to her,

138
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: I said, look, there's got to be a better way

139
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: to handle the situation. I mean, he is there. There

140
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: is not a thing that you can do about it.

141
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: You've got to come to this place of peace and

142
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: rest in the Lord. So I begin to pray with her,

143
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: and then I began to make some suggestions. I said, look,

144
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: you need to get some scriptures. You need to have

145
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: them ready, just as your warfare. When these thoughts start

146
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: strangling your joy and your peace, you need to write

147
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: out some declarations. When you feel that tension coming against you,

148
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: you need to say, God, thank you that my son

149
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: is in the palm of your hand. Thank you Father,

150
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Father, thank you,

151
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: your angels have charge over him to keep him in

152
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: all of his ways. He won't even dash his foot

153
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: against the stone, but he'll tread upon the lion and

154
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: the cobra, the young lions shall he trample underfoot. Thank

155
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: you Father, you put a bloodline around him that the

156
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: enemy cannot cross. Father, I thank you Lord that my

157
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: son will come home safely. I begin to see her

158
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: put this into practice. Little by little, she began to

159
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: take control over that worry, and I could see the

160
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: strength come back. I could see her focus and her

161
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 2: resolve come back. She began to praise God in the

162
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: midst of her fear and her torment, and it made

163
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: all the difference in her life. You see, worry pulls

164
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: us away from God's power, but worship and praise draws

165
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: us to Him and it changes the situation. I have

166
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: a good news to report. Six years servant in the

167
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: military and her son came home safely. He came home

168
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: safely because he worries of weight. It weighs us down,

169
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: causes us to not be productive. In fact, the Bible says,

170
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: lay aside every weight that would so easily set us

171
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: come on us. So you have to lay it aside

172
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: because it says that you have to run with purpose

173
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: in every step. And when you are weighed down, you

174
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: can't run. My sweet friend was so rayed down she

175
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: couldn't hardly get to work, much less run. You see,

176
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: when she began to lay aside that weight, she was

177
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: able to run out her purpose. See her prayers. Her

178
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: innercession for her son was much more powerful than her worry.

179
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: When she talked to him on the phone, she could say, Son,

180
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: I want to tell you I'm praying for you. The

181
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: angels of the Lords have charge over you. You walk

182
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: out and you be bold with confidence. Know that God

183
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: Almighty is looking after you. She could encourage him to

184
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: pray for himself. You see, when she began to lay

185
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: aside the weight and run with purpose, she was way

186
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: more effective. There's a technique that I use, and I've

187
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: used it for years and it works for me. You

188
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: just gotta find something that works for you, right. So,

189
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: when I have these concerns, in these troubles, I imagine

190
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: a big helium balloon big beautiful balloon, red red balloon.

191
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: It's a power color. And I've begin to put those

192
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: troubles in that balloon. And I imagine myself holding that

193
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: balloon by this string, holding it out in front of me,

194
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: with those troubles. And I look at that balloon and

195
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: I let it go and I release it to God,

196
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: and I say, God, thank you that you're bigger than

197
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: all these troubles. Thank you that you love me, and

198
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: that you said you'd perfect those things that concern me.

199
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give them to you. These troubles are

200
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: just gonna go right at your feet, Jesus, You're gonna

201
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: take care of them. You see, sometimes I have to admit,

202
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: sometimes I have to let go of a whole bouquet

203
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: of balloons. Do what you gotta do, Do what you

204
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: gotta do to release the worry and the care, because

205
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: Jesus will sustain you when you release it to him. Listen,

206
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: if you feel the pressure, the stranglehold of worry coming

207
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: on you, even if it's automatic, push the pause button.

208
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: Let's be like Mary. Let's take a lesson from this woman,

209
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: and let's sit at his feet. Let's linger there for

210
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: a while. Let's empty out the concerns so that we'll

211
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: have room to receive His goodness, his thoughts towards us,

212
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: his wisdom, his joy. Listen, wait is only going to

213
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: weigh you down, but when you let it go to Him,

214
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: all things can be new again. Amen. Amen.
