War against Worry II


Text: Psa.30:1-12 
More Lessons: Jer.31:31-34

Worry is a deadly mindset but much more than just being a mindset, it is a spirit that transmits that evil mindset; a demonic force that can take hold of a person's mind and soul until it totally destroys the individual. The force of worry is very slow and subtle, devouring like a cancerous cell, as it tightens its grip by spreading quickly but quietly. It is usually found to operate in partnership with other deadly forces like sin, fear, guilt, unbelief, shame e.t.c. Only those who have risen to the realisation of their relationship with God can withstand and resist this force and its works.

The eyes and ears are the doorways to a man's mind, the devil knows this so he seeks to plant seeds of worry in your heart by the things you continuously see, hear and allow to dominate your mind. He releases evil suggestions into your mind to try to derail your trust and confidence in God. This was Job’s experience as captured in Job 3:25, For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Job had nursed hidden seeds of fear and anxiety in his heart that almost clouded his judgment of the situations that overtook him. This is the same strategy the kingdom of darkness deploys today. But in Christ is all the power to live above the devices of the devil, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you Jam.4:7. When you submit your mind and thoughts to God you instantly receive power to resist the devil and watch him take off in flight.

David says in Psa.23:1,The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. His confidence was in the Lord . He saturated his mind with thoughts of the Lord and he confessed it. Irrespective of the enemy’s suggestions of possible lack and poverty to him, he remained firm, grounded and rooted in the fact that his God was able to provide for his needs and wants. And it was evident in his life and rule that of a truth, God is a good shepherd to those who trust in Him. The worries of the past are history if you will trust God as your shepherd and provider always. I prophesy over your life today, on the audacity of God's Word that every seed, plant or tree of worry that my Father has not planted in your heart be uprooted and burnt in the consuming fire now, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
*Destroy every seed of Satan in your conscious and sub- conscious mind by the shed blood of Christ.
* Resist every hidden work of demons in your heart and mind, in Jesus’ name.
* Ask the Lord to fulfill all your good desires and set ablaze every negativity in your mind, in Jesus’ name.
