James 2:12 (AMP
So speak and so act as [people
should] who are to be judged under the law of liberty [the moral
instruction given by Christ, especially about love].
There
are specific things in the Word of God that are clearly forbidden by
God. Worry is one of those things. God has made it clear that we are not
to worry about anything or anybody. Worry is a sin. It is illegal to
worry in the Kingdom of God.
Forbidden defined:
• Not allowed by order of somebody or by law.
When
we practice worrying we are actually operating in another kingdom, an
inferior kingdom. Worry is a weapon that has its roots in the kingdom of
darkness. Worry always piggybacks selfishness and pride.Worry is a thief; it comes only to steal, kill and destroy.
It is a sister to unbelief and a brother to fear. Worry is an enemy of
love. It seeks to choke out loves power and drown its influence and
progress in your life. Worry is a deceptive, crafty, seducer, void of mercy. It will
eat away at your godly integrity and excellence and bring to halt fruitful divine
dreams, causing frustration and disappointment. Worry is a clear
indicator that a person is not trusting God like they should and living a carnal (natural and/or unspiritual) Christian life. The scriptures warn
us that to be carnal (natural and/or unspiritual) minded produces death, not the abundant life that Jesus died and rose from the grave for us to experience daily. You and I were not created to worry.
In today’s
society anxiety is very acceptable, often being pitied and nursed, cultivated and encouraged.
However, make no mistake about it; anxiety is not a friend but rather a
foe.
Jesus gave His life so that we could live the good
life and experience God’s abundant mercy and favor. It is not the will
of God that we be chained to a life of worry. You were not born to be a
worrier but rather to live a life of peace. Worry will seek to dominate
your life and infiltrate into your relationships and daily activities.
However, you can stop it, by developing trust in God.
Matthew 6:25-27 (AMP)
Therefore
I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about
your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your
body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food,
and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? Look at the
birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and
yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more
than they? And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one
unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?
God
forbids worry because He loves you. He has already made available to
you freedom through His perfect law of liberty (The Bible).
Meditate on the above scripture and close the door to the thief of worry, today!
