Worry Not

@bwycbic

So many Christians ‘worry or are anxious ‘why? Do we not have enough food, drink, money or whatever it is. The Bible tells us in Philippines 4v5 not to worry or be anxious but to pray and God will easy and remove your worries or anxieties.

Worry is an anxious way of thinking and speaking about yourself. This causes a behaviour change such as stress or agitation. Our God wants us to be in faith and be at peace. If you haven’t gathered worry is bad for you and you want to break the habit read on.

The Bible is even more clearer in Matthew 6 v 25-34. These verses are from Jesus himself, He says don’t worry. Now I hear you say that’s easy for Him to say that but I can’t stop worrying its the situation I’m in.

As you are a person of faith and believe in our God read Matthew 6 v 25-34. Really focus in on verse 30 either in KJV, NLT, AMPC or ESV at the end of this verse it says, ‘You of little FAITH’!

Jesus is challenging you to increase your faith, cast aside worry or and anxiety and step into deeper faith and be at peace.

When I read these verses and verse 30 hit me it told me I had little faith. So what did I do about it? It wasn’t easy but I reframed worry and changed it to concerned. Everything Iused the word worry I changed it to concerned and asked for forgiveness.

Now that sounds easy but it took me almost a year to change my thinking, self-talk and spoken word. Now it’s established I automatically and very very rarely I do say worry, however if I do it is followed by concerned very quickly and I ask God for forgiveness.

It’s a challenge however if you have read this far why not challenge yourself and STOP saying WORRY. Amen

Jesus Heals a Man Let Down through the Roof of a House

Read these verses then read the think stop at the bottom.

Like 5 v 18-26

¹⁷On one of the days while Jesus was teaching, some proud religious law-keepers and teachers of the Law were sitting by Him. They had come from every town in the countries of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was there to heal them. ¹⁸Some men took a man who was not able to move his body to Jesus. He was carried on a bed. They looked for a way to take the man into the house where Jesus was.

The Test of Three

From time to time most of us get caught up with gossip and rumours that impact our wellbeing and mental state.

Why do people get involved in gossip and rumours?

People get involved in gossip and rumours for many reasons such as to feel superior, for attention, out of envy and out of anger or unhappiness.

Why? Some people like to feel superior or want to be noticed generally don’t feel good about themselves and feel better when they put others down. In other words their self-esteem is low and by getting involved in worthless conversations they feel they have a place or position with others. However they also do it for attention because they will for a short time be the centre of attention. Furthermore they may do it out of anger or because they are unhappy, they might feel a sense of power out of seeing others suffer. That is why people get involved in gossip, rumours and slander.

Empowerment ~ 1

A topic that is often mentioned is EMPOWERMENT and no doubt there are many people with differing views. However I would like to start a series of five blogs looking at this subject from a different angle and my hope is that you find this both thought provoking and interesting so ……

Empowerment refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social, or economic strength of individuals and communities. It often involves the empowered developing confidence in their own capacities.

This session I would like you to reflect on the word “Empowerment” what it means.
