Are You Walking Without Worry? In His Word 5-17-22

Are You WALKING WITHOUT Worry… In His Word-

Remix from  6-27-11

Have you ever walked through a valley and not worried? Not stressed and wondered just for a moment, should I be afraid? Then decided no it was not necessary because the Lord was with you?

I think it is a natural man sort of thing to get worried if a doctor says, “You need additional tests done.” Then the technician says, “Don’t worry it’s probably nothing…” and yet with God’s presence in your life you don’t have to worry.

You don’t have to worry because; if it’s nothing, then it’s nothing.

You don’t have to worry because:  if God is for you nothing can stand against you.

You don’t have to worry because:  He will never leave you nor forsake you, so he will walk through the valley with you!

 

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

 

Do not fear king of Babylon anymore,’ Says the Lord. ‘For I am with you and will save you and rescue you from his power. I will be merciful to you by making him kind, so he will let you stay here in your land.’ Jeremiah 42:10-12

 

But now thus says the Lord, who created you O Jacob, and HE who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God the Holy one of Israel, your Savior; … Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honored and I have loved you. Fear not for I am with you .Isaiah 43:1-5

 

It is amusing that we can get news, that could turn out to be good or bad and our human nature will worry, think things will be worse than they are. Even if it’s just for a moment; we tend to examine the worst thing that can happen before the best.

Then as we stop ourselves and pray for God to heal us, to make the car work, to give us the promotion or prosper us in the area we need it; we become double minded in our prayers. God heal me but don’t let me be sick too long.  We ask him “Lord fix the car but show me the mechanic so he can fix it.” “Stretch my money but give me more so I can get stuff”.

 

The Word of God calls that double minded. How do we expect God to heal, fix, and provide anything for us if we do not ask properly?

We need to think about what we are praying not just pray the words! We need to know what we want before we ask. God wants us to be straight with Him.

 

Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt you can do all things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘may you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Mathew 21:21-23

 

 

We need to have faith that God will do what we ask, but how can we do that? How can we know that He will do what we want? We get in His Word more and more.

 

We keep our hearts and minds renewed daily as often as we can; so that we will know the will of God. Then we pray according to His will. According to His Word we will receive if we ask believing, no doubt aloud! Trust Him to do what He has said. He told us He would do it, so believe it!

What is happening in your life this week?

Did God tell you that He answered a need, healing, or desire of your heart? Then believe it! It is a done deal! Walk in it; your part is to listen for the voice of God to show you where to go from here.

 

Sure, sometimes we are shown were to go to get the need met, and sometimes He fills the need supernaturally with a surprise healing. Thinks like, erasing of a torn ligament, or broken bone happen without us having to do more than ask sometimes!. Sometimes He speaks it into existence, and it is there. A job you prayed for suddenly appears on a list in your mailbox, or a check in the mail that provides you with groceries!

He can do anything; He can use anything; He wants that thing to be you!

 

Last night while attending a women’s gathering the speaker asked us what God spoke to us in what she said in her testimony; He told me “I showed you what too do, now do it.”

I received it, not really understanding which thing He showed me that I needed to do but having an idea. Now, I want to pass that on to you today. This week ask God if He has given you the answer to a prayer and what to do about it; then just do it.

 

Listen to His voice then heed His call, don’t look left or right just take one step at a time.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, help us this week to walk through the valleys and find our way back to the top of the mountain. Show us that you are with us in the valleys guiding us through. Help us to trust you to bring us through yet one more day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
