TAKE NO THOUGHT OF TOMORROW

  

TAKE NO THOUGHT OF TOMORROW

 

What is worry? It is a troubled state of mind that causes anxiety, distress and uneasiness. It is something that causes mental distress.

If you are anxious or having anxiety, concerned or worried about an event. Maybe an uncertain future, a moment which disturbs the mind and keeps it in the state of painful uneasiness.

Matthew 6: 31-34     ³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Take no though here means don’t worry, the Greek text actually means that even one anxious though is forbidden because it shows a distrust in the Lord.

Verse 32 is telling us that the Heavenly Father knows what we have need of. All of the things that pertain to life and godliness.

Verse 33, is saying you must seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness for you to receive all of God’s provision for your life.

Take no thought of tomorrow is talking about there is no promise of tomorrow. When you worry about things you start getting over into the area of your soul, which is made up of your mind, will and emotions.

Your mind is what you think with, your will is what you want, and you act on your emotions.

Worry will cause your mind to go into a troubled state and leads you to doubting, doubting God’s word. At that point your WILL decides what you want and goes into an anxiety state of mind.

At this point your emotions cause to act on and react to and it puts you into a mental mess.

That is why the verse 6:34 says take no though for tomorrow. We are to keep trusting our Lord no matter what trial we face.

We are made up of body, soul and spirit.

Ephesians 1:13   ¹³ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Once you have heard the word and believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Even though your spirit is sealed, you still have to deal with your flesh and soul.

Your soul is not sealed. You may ask why? It is because when you were created God gave you a free will and your soul is responsible for keeping your soul righteous before God.

Our soul is what will be judge when we stand before Christ Jesus.

Stay focused on the word today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. If you have a mountain in your life speak to the mountain.

This mountain that I am referring to is the enemy attacking you and the only thing you have to defeat this mountain is faith.

Faith will move mountains. Use the power and authority that is in the name of Jesus. It will be all you need to break the chains and cast this mountain out of your life.

It is impossible to have peace in your life if worry is involved, worry will hinder your joy, which is your strength.

Without God’s peace and joy, you will wear down because you are using your own strength, and eventually you will end up with a big mess of stress.

This is when you need to make a decision to turn to God and tell Him, I need Your help Lord to get through this.

If you are sincere God will break the chains in your life and move you from the natural way of thinking to thinking in His supernatural way.

Stay in the Word and lean on His strength in all things. He is waiting to hear from you. He wants to help you with your daily walk.

You Are A Conquer

 

 You Are A Conquer

If you have made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you have been called to conquer.

There are a lot of people that go to church and have not been saved, however that is not what this lesson is focusing on.

Romans 10:13   For who so Ever shall call upon the name of the Lord Shall be saved.

Being saved means you won’t have to spend eternity in hell. It is just that simple.

Just being saved does not make you a conqueror. To be a conqueror you must…

First have the knowledge

Second you must have the wisdom to use the knowledge in an effective way…

Third your spiritual attitude must be dedicated to winning…

Then you must know the power you have through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Above all you must know who your enemy is.

Being saved is just not enough to be a conqueror. A newborn Christian is saved but they don’t have the wisdom of God to be a conqueror.

To begin with you need to know what the full armor is. A new or unlearned Christian doesn’t have that knowledge.

As a matter of fact, very few Christians have even been taught about the full armor of God.

So how do we become conquerors for Christ?

Number one you must not have the spirit of fear.

2 Timothy 1:7   ⁷ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 The spirit of fear is evil and from the devil. It will put you into bondage, that will lead you farther away from God than you want to go.

It will lead you into the spirit of confusion and cause stress in your life, that can lead to depression.

Then it becomes a situation of having no hope. That is Americas problem today, lost hope.

Second thing we must know that we have dominion over Satan.

Ephesians 6:12   ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Today even Christians do not want to admit that demonic and evil spirits are real.

So just being a Christian alone does not make you a conqueror. If God has called you to be a conquer then there must be a war going on.

Romans 8: 37   Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

We become more than conquerors through Him who loves us.

To conquer something, you must first have victory over the something or be victorious over a situation.

To be a victor is to have final and complete supremacy in battle or war.

If God has called you to be a conqueror then there must be a war going on.

1^st Corinthians 15:57   but thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

You have to be victorious in and through our Lord Jesus Christ; you can’t be victorious in a spiritual war fighting with carnal weapons.

2^nd Corinthians 10: 3-4   for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the Pulling down of strongholds.

Now what is a stronghold?

It is a place having strong defenses.

Satan has strong defenses, but thanks be to God,for he has covered that for us also.

1^st John 5: 4-5   ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1^st John 4: 4   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Meaning Gods spirit that is in you is greater than the spirits that roam the earth.


Romans 8: 28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

To be a conqueror we have to know who we are in Christ Jesus.

Then we need to know WHAT we can do through Christ.

And last, we have to know WHEN to conquer.

You can know who, where and what; but if you do not know when you are in a state of confusion.

We have to be objective like Jesus in his ministry, or like Daniel in Babylon, or even like Joseph in Egypt.

The things that are happening to us in our daily lives are likely to be our own fault

Hosea 4:6   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Sometimes people suffer because some preacher doesn’t agree with what the word says, rather he agrees with what doctrine says.

They will argue and say I can’t help what the word says; our association doesn’t believe that way.

Well do they think they know more than the word of God?

If you are going to believe some of Gods word, and not all of Gods word, you might be saved but you will never be a conqueror


Rev 3:21   To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Here is the way in; I am not going to leave you hanging… Jesus has invited us to share the throne with him…

Eph 2: 6   And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Paul is saying: God has brought us back to live together with Christ Jesus and has given us a position in heaven with him…

God saved us and through faith as an act of kindness, we had nothing to do with it, being saved is a gift from God.

The word says, your welcome to the throne room, but first you have to meet a few personal conditions…

Once these conditions are met, binding and loosening essentially will cover any situation that can come against you.

If evil or hindering forces are at work in your life you can bind them in Jesus name.

If resources or provisions of any kind are needed, or if people are in any form of bondage you can loose them in Jesus name

But you have to agree that touching anything that you ask, it shall be done.

John 14: 13-14   ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Stay in the Word
