MATTHEW 6:31 - 33
THESE VERSES ARE THE KEYS TO LIVING FREE OF STRESS.
IF WE WILL SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD - WHICH MEANS GOD’S MANNER, GOD’S ORDER, GOD’S METHOD; GOD’S SYSTEM; GOD’S WAY OF DOING THINGS - AND LIVE A UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIFE AND THE THINGS THAT WE NEED WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY FLOWING INTO OUR LIVES AND THAT IS THE PLACE WE ALL DESIRE TO BE - TO LIVE A LIFE STRESS FREE OF WORRY AND STRUGGLE.
OBJECTIVE OF MY MESSAGE TODAY:
GIVE ENOUGH INFORMATION SO YOU CAN SET YOUR HEART TO A LIVE STRESS FREE LIFESTYLE.
KEYS TO A STRESS FREE LIFE:
1. I HAVE TO PRAY.
2. I HAVE TO MEDITATE ON GOD’S WORD BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO CONTROL MY THOUGHT LIFE.
3. I HAVE TO AVOID PREOCCUPATION WITH STUFF - CONTENT WITH WHAT I HAVE.
4. I HAVE TO TRUST THAT GOD IS GOING TO GIVE ME A PLAN - GOD’S SYSTEM METHOD, WAY OF DOING THINGS.
GOD KNOWS THAT YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO WORRY:
1 COR. 10:13 - THERE HATH NO TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN: BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT SUFFER YOU TO BE TEMPTED ABOVE THAT YE RE ABLE; BUT WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT.
WHEN GOD GIVES YOU A PLAN, YOU MUST FOLLOW GOD’S PLAN. THE MAJOR HINDRANCE WILL BE YOUR FLESH.
HOW CAN I JUDGE THE PLAN TO MAKE SURE IT IS FROM GOD??
1. LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE MY HEART.
COL. 3:15a - AND LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN YOUR HEARTS.
2. THE PLAN MUST LINE UP WITH THE WORD.
THE VOICE OF FLESH WILL RISE AND YOU CHALLENGE IT WITH THE WORD.
II PETER 1:19-21 - WE ALSO HAVE A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; WHERE UNTO YE DO WELL THAT YE TAKE HEED, AS UNTO ALIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, UNTIL THE DAY DAWN, AND THE DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS: KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME BY THE WILL OF MAN: BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST.
DON’T BE FOOLED BY PROPHECY UNLESS IT LINES UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD. ANY WORD OR PLAN MUST LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD. IF IT DOESN’T THROW IT OUT. IF IT DOES, CAREFULLY CONSIDER IT. THE BIBLE IS OUR STANDARD. ANY REVEALED PLAN OR RHEMA PLAN MUST LINE UP WITH THE WORD.
