WORRY!Weve All Experienced It, But In Gods Word, It IsNotan Option!

WORRY! We’ve all experienced it, but in God’s Word, it is Not an option!

Worry in the original language here means 'to tear the remembrance of the mind apart,' and this is a classic practice of Satan whose primary goal in our lives is to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) When we follow Satan’s lead by worrying, It Is A Sin.

The positive response to worry instead is CONCERN which means “Having a healthy marked interest in a situation and being involved with a solution by responsibly taking charge for solving the problem by sifting through possible solutions.” Sometimes that is possible by being positively proactive, but other times that may NOT be possible and That’s Where PRAYER & FAITH Comes In!

1 Peter 5:7 says to “Cast ALL your cares upon him, for he careth for you” (!)

“All” doesn’t mean 50% or 70% or 90% of your cares, but ALL of them!

Friend, God cares for us more than we know, and He is fully aware of every crisis we are facing. Worry accomplishes NOTHING, so when you are in a situation that you are powerless to resolve, cast all your cares upon Him and hand the situation over to the Lord! because GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT YOU.

While many may not totally believe or embrace all parts of the Bible, there are many points on which many will agree. For example murder certainly is not good and neither is stealing, lying, and generally not following “The Golden Rule.” All these are clear to grasp and easy to understand, but as Mark Twain infamously said, it is parts like today’s Bible verse that are a real stumbling block for a lot of people.

Here’s the thing about “God’s Word”...it is NOT an easy path through life, but a Difficult One. To follow what God says requires discipline, dedication, and determination to look past the temptations and distractions of this world and aim for the high goal of your calling to live a peaceable, productive, and prudent life.

As Twain points out, some of these injunctions to living — while straightforward to read and comprehend — are seemingly impossible to follow. For example in today’s verse on forgiveness, this is unbearable for many people due to their hurt, anger, or the injustice they received from someone, but here is how this is possible and what Twain did not understand.

As long as you try do this in your human strength it will always be either extremely difficult or nearly impossible, but once you receive the Holy Spirit of God in your life and totally yield to His direction, the Bible promises us that “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Are you struggling with unforgiveness? As today’s scripture says, if you do not forgive you will not be forgiven. That is easy to understand but impossible to follow unless you let go of your pride, yield to the Holy Spirit and start simply by making a conscious, mental decision to forgive. (Don’t worry about emotionally “feeling” forgiving..that will come in time...)

Friend, if you 'GO WITH GOD', All Things then Are Indeed POSSIBLE. Unlike Twain’s dilemma, it is not a matter of understanding, but of faith, trust and obedience to the one that literally wrote the book. Then and only then will it be possible to have victory over all the difficult parts that you DO UNDERSTAND.

In U.S. courts at the conclusion of a trial, the verdict is either ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty.’ Note that it is not GUILTY or INNOCENT, but that does not mean that they are the same! Here’s why.

At the end of the famous O.J. Simpson trial, he was found Not Guilty, but was he Innocent? Personally (and this is NOT a political comment!) I agreed with the verdict because there were both no eye-witnesses to the crime, and from my perspective and the evidence presented he was (in my thought, right or wrong) not found to be guilty ‘beyond a shadow of doubt.’ Therefore, it is possible to be found “Not Guilty” but not wholly “Innocent.”

At the end of your life, you will stand before the Supreme Judge in the Heavenly Court, and because God is Holy and cannot have any sin in his presence, his eye-witness evidence of every one of your crimes (“secret sins”, Psalm 19:13) will be presented fully and your verdict will be beyond a shadow of doubt - ‘GUILTY!’ But here is the good news…there IS a way to be found INNOCENT!

“While we were still sinners Christ died for us, and we have been justified by his blood sacrifice and saved by that through him.” Romans 5:8-9 (paraphrased)

This scripture says that because what Christ did on the cross for you, all your sins have been completely exonerated and paid for. His blood wipes your record clean, and you will not just be 'not guilty,' but marked as INNOCENT.

Friend, if you have not accepted this pardon by the Eternal Judge, why would you not want to?? Do not delay – there is no guarantee you will have another chance before the judge puts down his gavel. Ask God to forgive you today and let the saving edict of his merciful judgement pay for the crime of all your sins and declare you INNOCENT.

Today’s scripture verse among many others proclaims that the Bible is God’s Word and is TRUE, but there are many that not only disagree with that but say it not only IS a lie, but that letters hidden in the very word itself spell when re-arranged show that it IS a lie!

In our technologically advanced, evolved, educated and 'enlightened' culture in particular, taking the Bible seriously has become more and more a joke along with those foolish enough to actually believe in it. That statement is 100% true! — …that is you’ve only glanced at a few passages here and there! However upon an honest inspection, there are thousands of curious “coincidences” that defy not only logical scrutiny but mathematical probability. Here are a few examples:

Noah: God’s instruction was to build the ark in the ration of 30:5:3 – the same ratio used by modern ship designers. How would someone like Noah know that having supposedly never even seen a boat?

Genesis Genealogy: The meanings of the names of the first ten men (from Adam to Methuselah) encode the Bible message! Together their name-meanings spell out the Gospel message of salvation!: “[Adam] Man (was) [Seth] appointed [Enosh] mortal [Kenan] sorrow (but) [Mahalalel] the Blessed God [Jared] shall come down (and) [Enoch] teaching [Methuselah] His Death (i.e. Christ) shall bring

Name of YAHWEH numerically encoded in Pentateuch: Skipping 49 (7x7) letters (in Hebrew) from Genesis forward to Leviticus spells God’ name and working backwards from Deuteronomy to Leviticus every 49th letter also spells His name.

There are literally hundreds of other examples like this too numerous for here! So before you assume the Bible is not true and just an ancient collection of stories and myths, find out for yourself instead — “Let God be TRUE, but every man a LIAR.” (Romans 3:4)

Will YOU give the Bible a chance to be TRUE?

There is so much uncertainty today that people want to know what’s going to happen. As a result, over the last few years, there has been a dramatic rise of Christian 'prophets' that in some cases are even claiming daily revelations from God. While God can and speak to and through people, it is vitally important to discern the 'voices' who proclaim themselves as “true” prophets of God, or if they are False Prophets.

Jeremiah was one of the great Old Testament prophets. He wrote extensively that his heart was broken because all of the many false prophets, calling them profane. Today 2,000 years later false prophets are continuing to lead people astray, and the question then like now is how and why?

In a world that seeks instant gratification and easy answers, false prophets give people what they want to hear as easily as many say 'Hey Siri (or) Alexa!' However the Bible warns us to be guarded and wise to test everything we hear, and the absolute best filter of discernment is knowing what The Bible says.

In addition to embellishing deep, once-hidden-now-revealed pseudo-truths, they can also be identified by stressing happiness, prosperity and minimizing sin or repentance. They often expound that 'God is Love' but avoid difficult truths like God’s righteousness and judgement. Some even go so far as to say there are multiple ways or faith-journeys to get to heaven while others discount verses or sections of the Bible as inaccurate, irrelevant, or mistranslated.

Friend, do not be mislead by things that sound good. Truth invites scrutiny, but error runs from it. Test these voices by evaluating if these people’s lives are bearing Good or BAD fruit, but most of all hold all teaching up to the true light of scripture and you will always be able to discern truth from error.
