Last night was a great night! Preached a message with the help from a counselor in regards to Galatians 3 and anxiety. Here is a few excerpts from my notes:

Galatians 2:3-5 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

How will you be made perfect? What a powerful statement! Pastor Tom talked about success this past weekend, and stated that success is not defined by what you do, or even what you have achieved, GOD defines success, God defines Perfection! Stop worrying about becoming perfect, stop worrying about little stuff that God has already taken care of!

We KNOW the Bible and we KNOW about God but we really don’t BELIEVE!  If we really TRUSTED God we would then live a worry-free and anxiety free lifestyle! I am guilty of this as well!

Here is a powerful statement that the counselor said, “In therapy we can focus cognitively by examining thoughts that go with the anxiety and try to come up with corrective thoughts in place of the irrational ones.”WOW, It is all in the MIND. This is $200 by the hour advice your youth pastor is giving you! We can blame the devil all we want but we must first address the way we think!

In 2 Kings 7:3-20 is a powerful story about lepers, which really defines the life that we are called to live. As yourself this, “Why sit here till we die?” Why worry about everything? Why worry about death? Why worry and stress over things you cannot control or even the small things you think control YOU.
Bottom line: Train your mind: Memorize and recite the following regularly when they are anxious:

“God is who He says He is; God does what He says He will do; I am who God says that I am; I can do all things through Christ; God’s Word is alive and active in me.”(Joyce Meyer)
