Have you ever experienced Anxiety?
If you have, you need to understand that anxiety is a spirit, and that spirit, is not of or from God.
There are two ways that anxiety is categorized. One being psychological and the other being spiritual. In this text, I’ll focus on the spiritual aspects of the disorder. For many people, the symptoms can be obvious and life altering. Other times it can be subtle and you’re unaware of what’s happening in your body. There’s several things that I want you to be mindful of as we Surrender How we Feel for How God Feels About it. First, take a deep breath, and know that God is with you, even in this moment. Secondly, I want you to take ahold of the truth and take it back to our Father for confirmation and healing. God is not the Author of confusion, so anxiety doesn’t belong to him as God would never make you feel anxious.
Did you know that?
God instructs us in, Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV, to “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
The Bible says to, “Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22 NKJV. Have you spoke to God recently about the things that you’re concerned with, dealing with or battling? I ask this question because, anxiety is a burden to those that experience it or that try to overcome it alone. That makes me wonder what you’re attempting to do without God? More importantly, what areas of your life does he need to take control over and intervene?
Anxiety is the result of a spiritual attack or demonic force trying to sow fear, doubt or confusion in your life and for a purpose thats counter productive to your destiny. It can be seen as form of oppression thats attempting to keep you from God and answering the call on your life. Thats why the Bible tells us “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16 KJV. The context of this verse is preparing you for the things that are to come. It doesn’t highlight each specific situation that you may find yourself in, however, it gives you vivid imagery of a sheep being in the presence of a powerful predator: whose natural instincts are to “prey” and feed on the vulnerable or innocent.
That physical imagery, is the spiritual illustration of a demonic spirit, whose role is to make you feel intimated, unstable and cause you turn away from God. This demonic spirit doesn’t stop there, it applies pressure on you to abandon the doors that God opened, torment you so that you won’t complete your assignment, and keeps you in bondage. It makes you believe the warfare doesn’t exist because it’s been passed down generationally and the agreement with this entity still has permission to plague you.
I need to ask you, whose words have you come into agreement with? The Holy Spirt, or that of the Defeated Foe, Satan?
Gods word is the living truth and it works. Its the only power in your life. It will help you. It’s designed to protect you and give you wisdom to see that God is doing things behind the scenes everyday in your life that your natural eyes will never able to comprehend, thats why we’re instructed to ““Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV.
Anxiety doesn’t belong to you, so release it to God. He will provide you with a way of escape and lead you to his peace in the ways thats needed for your specific situation. Although, his solution may look differently for what he did for someone else, God is not a respecter of persons. If he did it for them he can do it for you, too. You belong to the LORD, so you’ve already inherited access to all of whats of and from him. I want you to focus your mind on those things that are of him and from up above. Paul said it best, when he said ““Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 KJV. This doesn’t mean that you’ll go through life without feeling things. It means that you don’t come into agreement or take ownership of what God didn’t give you. I know you have the capacity, and that you’re more than capable, however God reminds us that, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 NKJV. Anxiety doesn’t produce anything good as it’s unproductive and we need God to help us, comfort us, and give us his peace, for our life belongs to him. That includes all that we are, what we’ll experience and what he’ll help us to overcome and complete. For the plans of our lives is his.
Today, I pray that peace replaces anxiety as it has no place in your life. I ask God to show you what life is supposed to be like when you’re reliant on him and completely trusting in him. I pray that God invites you to sit in his presence today so that he can intervene on your behalf, take back control, and heal you. Most importantly, I ask God to establish a new covenant with you and release you from the spirit of anxiety. In Jesus name, Amen
I decree and declare in the name of Jesus that you’re coming out of agreement with anxiety and entering into stability and peace.
Are we eye to eye about this truth my brothers and sisters?
