Ps Sean begins a new series “What are you carrying”. He begins by asking us about what Jesus asks us to carry rather than all our natural junk we tend to carry around. Matthew 11:28 say “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. Jesus wants to give us rest, not religion and certainly not the anxieties of this world.
Matthew 16:24 tells us how we need to take up our cross and follow Jesus. Our identity is found in who we follow. Here, Jesus speaks of submission - we are not asked to carry our worries! When we take up our cross and follow Him life begins to make sense. A relationship with Jesus is rewarded with a lack of stress, no anxiety and no depression. There is only hope in Christ!
Scripture is a most powerful tool. (Proverbs 4:20-22). When the Word is inside us.. Revival breaks out.
Ps Sean continues to speak about replacing worry with faith, rejoicing over God rather than dwelling on negativity. Worry and overthinking are both able to dominate our lives easily if let them, but we need to take captive our thoughts (2 Corinthians 10:5) in order to transform our lives.
1 Peter 5:7 tells us rather to cast our anxieties on Him for He cares for us….a great rule for living. But, we also need to read the verse beforehand…..we are to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand that he may lift us up!
