Why Worry?

     Worry? How many of us are guilty of this behavior that is completely opposite of having faith? Doubt and worry are two of the many ways the enemy uses to tear down what God has in store for you and deter you from your destiny. It's like you're banging your head into that same wall over and over again expecting not to get worn out, bruised, and turn out completely fine but in reality you end up with a brain injury because you tormented yourself half to death about things that you can't change, you have absolute no control over, and struggling over the fact that you can't see the breakthrough or beyond what's in front of you! SO TODAY I'M ENCOURAGING YOU AND MYSELF that we release the spirit of worry that usually ends up with doubt, unbelief, and so many other things that aren't of Christ. I felt the spirit of worry upon myself and others I pray this blog encourages and blesses you to move forward with the things God has in store for you!

      The enemy operates like this: "Ohhhh, He/she worried about  this, this, this, and that, that, and that! Alright cool! Person: Getting frustrated about everything, questioning God why? Enemy: Yo! Spirit of unbelief, depression, anger, all unclean spirits---" c'mon man, this person got their gates wide open, so we're free to run in here because  1. This person doesn't understand their Master's scriptures and how to fight with the s(Word). So then, spirit of unbelief and his whole crew of Legion (many demons) comes in like a thief to destroy everything God already set and prearranged for you, then you're sitting there mad at God, blaming Prophets, and doing everything else but getting to the root of it. In the words of a loved one: "Worrying shows a lack of faith." You're refusing to have faith in God in those areas where God told you to get close to Him, pour and cry out to Him! He loves you that much! He will help us, and He promised to do so!

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of worry is

a : to assail with rough or aggressive attack or treatment :torment

b : to subject to persistent or nagging attention or effort

c: to afflict with mental distress or agitation : make anxious

     So I ask you this, What is causing you mental distress, tormenting your thought-life, taking your attention off of God, what's causing you to be anxious? School, children, spouse or future spouse, unsaved relative(s)/spouse, home situation, bills and finances, walking in your calling, business, work-life, rumors/lies and gossip, your past,  etc? I can totally understand why all the above may seem like you should and have a right to be worried about it but you don't! Why? In the best motherly voice ever, Because, God said so! If the enemy keeps coming through the same door, it's time to send out the eviction notice and give him the

    Before I give you scriptures to fight the spirit of worry, I want to let you know that I thought I had a right to worry! I still haven't arrived but God's strength is perfect in my weakness and He's helping me daily. I thank God for the Holy Spirit for being a teacher, comforter, and guide in my life. I suggest you to welcome the Holy Spirit into every part of your life as well! :) Back to the worry part, So guess what, I get hit up with the same test over and over again until I pass. That's life. You cannot expect to get an A out of a class, if you keep failing the tests. God called us to be more than a conqueror and He said that we can do ALL things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.  Two years ago in 2012, God spoke to me about things He wanted me to do with clear instructions such as  transitioning into a new church home plus being involved in ministry training, doing Radio at my school with no broadcasting experience, all while I lost 4 loved ones within a five month time span, then around my birthday, I lost two relatives within two weeks apart. I had to read the obituary part for two close relatives which was very difficult, get some healing and restoration in my life which is a process, do what God told me to do if He showed me in a dream of a person name or face, or their event( I will talk about Dreams later) get ministered to myself---getting off milk and onto meat about growing in the faith, interceding like never before, deal with my emotions,  go to events and I didn't have the finances to really go, sow into some places and people, but God provided, plus getting lots of Word from the Lord and trying to conceive it all. Within all of this, God showed me how to stop thinking I had to figure out everything in my life, how in life, we--as people are stronger than we think because GOD is our source of strength. Fighting how you feel verses  standing on what God said to be true and what is to come ---all i can say is the battle is real. But GOD is with you!

 Let me tell you, when I'm worried, my sister in spirit, can text me like Sis, stop worrying! Stop worrying, stop worrying..! I would be like whew! Thank you sis, thank u Jesus, okay, amen! 10 minutes later... Me: You know God, this, this, this, . Get upset and be frustrated all over again. God looks at me like, Daughter, I will take care of you and everything concerning you. You are mine.

With all that being said, I  want to encourage you to rest in God. He has you in the palm of his hands. Meditate on this scripture

Philippians 4:6-7New King James Version (NKJV)

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 


God ridiculously cares about you,


Love
