00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.300
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.180
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:08.580
Hello friend.
4
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.680
My name is Denise Renner
5
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:14.130
and I am so glad that
you're with me today.
6
00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:17.880
I've been enjoying these programs so much.
7
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:22.880
We are talking about getting rid of worry,
8
00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:28.070
and this series is called Worry-Goodbye!.
9
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.930
It's possible, it's possible
10
00:00:30.930 --> 00:00:35.670
that we can get our minds
renewed to the word of God
11
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:39.210
so much that we understand
12
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:41.760
that we are not a slave to worry
13
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:44.040
and that we're not a victim to worry,
14
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:47.790
but we're a victor over worry.
15
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:50.700
Is that not good news?
16
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.850
And so today I wanna talk to you about
17
00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:56.970
what could be the harm
18
00:00:56.970 --> 00:01:01.050
and just keeping a little worry.
19
00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:03.210
And you're gonna see
20
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.450
what God says in his word about
21
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:09.720
how important it is that we keep
22
00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:15.870
grabbing a hold of the
victory, grabbing a hold
23
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:19.500
of a mind that's peaceful.
24
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.990
Oh friend, that's powerful.
25
00:01:21.990 --> 00:01:26.520
The world is searching all
over the place for peace
26
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:29.580
and for you and I as born again believers,
27
00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:33.390
it has been purchased by us for us,
28
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:35.520
by the blood of Jesus,
29
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:38.790
and that peace is in
our born again spirit.
30
00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:40.620
Well, I'm excited to get started,
31
00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:44.610
but I wanna offer you my 5-part video series
32
00:01:44.610 --> 00:01:45.930
and I want you to get it.
33
00:01:45.930 --> 00:01:49.110
Maybe there's somebody
you need to get this for
34
00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:52.110
that won't read anything, but
they might watch something
35
00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:53.490
and it'll help 'em.
36
00:01:53.490 --> 00:01:57.810
Or the companion study guide
if you wanna get this deeper
37
00:01:57.810 --> 00:01:59.880
down on the inside of you.
38
00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:02.400
And I have to offer you my book,
39
00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.550
Jesus Is Your Healer,
40
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:09.900
because a lot of people are worried about their bodies
41
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:11.670
and about sickness.
42
00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:13.950
And I want to offer this to you
43
00:02:13.950 --> 00:02:18.900
because you're gonna see that
Jesus paid not only the price
44
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:23.670
for our sins, our redemption for us to go to heaven forever,
45
00:02:23.670 --> 00:02:28.440
but he paid every bit as much
46
00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:29.790
for any sickness
47
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:33.210
or disease that would come against our body.
48
00:02:34.530 --> 00:02:36.360
So I want you to have it now.
49
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.600
I want you to stay with me
because I'm coming right back
50
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:44.130
and we're gonna talk about the fact about
51
00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:48.240
how we can have victory over every little
52
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.830
part of worry.
53
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:55.680
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
54
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.970
Join Denise Renner
55
00:02:56.970 --> 00:03:00.580
and dive into the study of God's word, which has great power
56
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:04.630
to strengthen faith, inspire change, heal physically
57
00:03:04.630 --> 00:03:07.180
and spiritually, and most importantly,
58
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:08.650
help you learn about the power
59
00:03:08.650 --> 00:03:10.360
of Christ Jesus living in you.
60
00:03:11.470 --> 00:03:13.540
It's time with Denise Renner.
61
00:03:15.730 --> 00:03:20.730
This lesson is called, What Could Be the Harm
62
00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:25.090
in Just Having Just a little bit of worry?
63
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.690
So I wanna answer that today.
64
00:03:28.690 --> 00:03:32.980
When we first started doing this series, we learned
65
00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:36.820
that worry is keeping things out
66
00:03:36.820 --> 00:03:38.650
of God's hands
67
00:03:38.650 --> 00:03:43.300
and keeping them in our hands saying, oh,
68
00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.100
I'm not gonna worry God about that.
69
00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:48.760
I'm gonna keep that. I'm
gonna worry about that myself.
70
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:51.070
And then we keep it in our hands.
71
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.290
But we found out in Isaiah 41,
72
00:03:56.290 --> 00:03:59.710
that he wants to hold us
73
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:01.630
and support us
74
00:04:01.630 --> 00:04:03.070
and help us
75
00:04:03.070 --> 00:04:06.910
with his righteous right hand.
76
00:04:07.810 --> 00:04:11.260
So if we are holding on
to any kind of worry,
77
00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:13.750
he's offering his hand.
78
00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:19.480
It stretched out to us saying,
79
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.310
oh my child, I don't want you to carry that worry.
80
00:04:24.310 --> 00:04:29.310
I want to carry it for you. Please give it to me right now.
81
00:04:29.710 --> 00:04:34.210
And then we learned secondly that
82
00:04:34.210 --> 00:04:37.540
what Jesus says about worry
83
00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:41.590
and Jesus in Matthew 6, compares
84
00:04:41.590 --> 00:04:46.090
how fruitless worry is
that if I just sat here
85
00:04:47.830 --> 00:04:50.050
for hours and hours and hours and hours
86
00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:54.460
and I just wished that I
could be this much taller
87
00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:56.650
and I went to bed thinking about, oh,
88
00:04:56.650 --> 00:04:59.260
I wish I could just be this much taller.
89
00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:02.830
Or I wrote out a strategy, oh, this is
90
00:05:02.830 --> 00:05:05.400
how I can be this much taller or,
91
00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:08.950
or I talked to my friends
about how I could be
92
00:05:08.950 --> 00:05:10.540
that much taller.
93
00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:14.980
That's how fruitless, Jesus was showing us in that chapter,
94
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:19.060
how fruitless worry is.
95
00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:22.510
It's like wishing you could be this
96
00:05:22.510 --> 00:05:24.820
much taller.
97
00:05:24.820 --> 00:05:27.340
It's which is impossible, you know that.
98
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:29.710
And thirdly, we learn
99
00:05:29.710 --> 00:05:34.090
that worry can be habitual.
100
00:05:36.790 --> 00:05:37.960
That's a really good one.
101
00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:40.330
I want you to go back to
the archives and watch that
102
00:05:40.330 --> 00:05:44.530
because a worry can say,
103
00:05:44.530 --> 00:05:46.720
I've been here a long time.
104
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.940
I have a right to be here.
105
00:05:48.940 --> 00:05:52.750
I have my own residence here in your heart
106
00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:54.160
and in your mind.
107
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.500
I have my carpet, I have my lamp,
108
00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:00.050
I have my furniture in here.
109
00:06:00.050 --> 00:06:04.430
And don't you touch
that part of your soul.
110
00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:07.730
I've got that. That's what the flesh says.
111
00:06:07.730 --> 00:06:10.790
But our spirit says, oh, I long for God.
112
00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:14.690
I long to trust him. I
long to know him more.
113
00:06:14.690 --> 00:06:16.820
I long to give him my care.
114
00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:23.060
And that spirit of God is greater than he
115
00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.500
that's in this world.
116
00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:30.340
And if we give that opportunity space to our spirit,
117
00:06:30.530 --> 00:06:34.130
we can pull down those strongholds.
118
00:06:34.130 --> 00:06:37.130
Because if it's a habit, it's a stronghold.
119
00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:40.520
We can pull down those strongholds
120
00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:45.350
with the mighty power of God
that's on the inside of us.
121
00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:49.730
And then today we're gonna talk about - What is the harm
122
00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:54.730
if I just keep just a little bit of my worry?
123
00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:57.830
Can you imagine Jesus doesn't want us
124
00:06:57.830 --> 00:06:59.630
to have a little bit of worry.
125
00:06:59.630 --> 00:07:02.120
He wants us to be completely free.
126
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.640
He wants us to have the peace of God,
127
00:07:04.640 --> 00:07:07.130
which passes all understanding.
128
00:07:09.260 --> 00:07:11.660
I wanna give you a
couple examples of people
129
00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.580
who held onto their worry.
130
00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:19.490
One woman, she told me herself, she worried
131
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:23.660
so much about her financial situation.
132
00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:28.310
I mean, she worried and
worried and worried.
133
00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:31.340
Now it worked out, it
absolutely worked out.
134
00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:35.120
But she developed cancer in her body.
135
00:07:36.110 --> 00:07:39.020
Now she's gotten all the
treatments and everything
136
00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:42.380
and she's, she's a hundred
percent cancer free right now.
137
00:07:42.380 --> 00:07:46.550
But she told me, she said, I know
138
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:51.020
that I opened the door to that cancer
139
00:07:51.020 --> 00:07:52.190
with my worry.
140
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.600
I knew another woman who worried so much about her child,
141
00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:00.080
worried and worried
142
00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:03.050
and worried it cost her
to have a heart attack.
143
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.340
That's not God's will. Friend,
144
00:08:07.340 --> 00:08:10.970
we can't hang on to a little bit of worry
145
00:08:10.970 --> 00:08:15.230
because a little bit is gonna wanna take over
146
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:16.460
and become more.
147
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:22.040
So I want you to go to 1 Peter 5:8
148
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.800
with me, and I'm gonna show you
149
00:08:27.710 --> 00:08:29.690
the dangers of worry.
150
00:08:29.690 --> 00:08:34.400
So we talked about being drunk with worry
151
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:39.080
and that the drunk, it
says in Proverbs, it says,
152
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.830
the drunk wakes up in the morning
153
00:08:42.830 --> 00:08:47.600
and says, where is my next drink?
154
00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:52.340
And that's so much
155
00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:55.110
like habitual worrying.
156
00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:58.320
It's - you can just get drunk.
157
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.340
It just can take over you that worry.
158
00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:05.670
And it's not God's will that it take over us -
159
00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:08.850
that we take over it.
160
00:09:10.020 --> 00:09:14.580
And the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:
161
00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.050
8,
162
00:09:16.050 --> 00:09:19.680
it says that we are
163
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:22.620
to, in verse 8, to be sober,
164
00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:25.650
to be vigilant.
165
00:09:25.650 --> 00:09:28.320
That means to be alert
166
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.470
because your adversary, the devil,
167
00:09:31.470 --> 00:09:36.030
walks about like a roaring
lion seeking whom he
168
00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:38.160
may devour.
169
00:09:39.150 --> 00:09:44.150
So the Bible's saying to us
to stay awake, to stay alert
170
00:09:44.310 --> 00:09:48.990
because the adversary is walking about
171
00:09:48.990 --> 00:09:53.730
like a roaring lion seeking whom
172
00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:54.900
he may devour.
173
00:09:54.900 --> 00:09:59.580
You see, he's seeking - whom. He can't devour everybody,
174
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:04.320
but he's seeking the one who's overcome with worry,
175
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.490
the one who's drunk on worry,
the one who is not sober,
176
00:10:08.490 --> 00:10:10.290
the one who is not vigilant
177
00:10:10.290 --> 00:10:14.820
or alert. The devil,
178
00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.400
just let me tell you what his name means.
179
00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:20.970
His name means slanderer.
180
00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:27.920
So at the beginning, the devil is going to slander.
181
00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:32.250
He's gonna tell you that you're not this or you are this,
182
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:36.600
or he's gonna slander somebody else in your
183
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.440
mind or he, he's just gonna lie.
184
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.040
He's just gonna slander and
he's just gonna put you down.
185
00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:48.150
He's never gonna lift
you up. Never, never.
186
00:10:48.150 --> 00:10:51.330
His lies never lift you up.
187
00:10:51.330 --> 00:10:52.470
They put you down
188
00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:57.055
because his name means slanderer.
189
00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:04.370
And then also the Bible compares him to a lion.
190
00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:08.100
Well, the lion is the most ferocious animal.
191
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.260
And picture the continual roaring
192
00:11:13.260 --> 00:11:17.880
of Satan as a lion walking about seeking
193
00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:19.680
his prey.
194
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:22.170
And when it says that he is
195
00:11:23.130 --> 00:11:25.560
seeking whom he may devour,
196
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.710
this is a pretty violent word
197
00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:33.480
and it means he wants to swallow up
198
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.380
to eat it up to devour.
199
00:11:37.380 --> 00:11:41.460
The word literally means to drink down.
200
00:11:43.410 --> 00:11:47.610
It can be an animal swallowing it's prey.
201
00:11:47.610 --> 00:11:51.360
And that's exactly what the enemy wants to do.
202
00:11:52.260 --> 00:11:55.390
We've looked at John 10:10 before,
203
00:11:55.390 --> 00:11:58.870
and you know that Jesus
came to give us life
204
00:11:58.870 --> 00:12:00.730
and life more abundantly.
205
00:12:00.730 --> 00:12:05.590
But it says that the devil, the thief, comes to only,
206
00:12:05.590 --> 00:12:10.590
only to steal, only to kill,
207
00:12:10.630 --> 00:12:13.150
and only to destroy.
208
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.810
And friend, when we, we worry
209
00:12:16.810 --> 00:12:19.960
or we say, I'm just gonna
worry about this a little bit.
210
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.860
We are opening the door to that devourer.
211
00:12:25.810 --> 00:12:26.815
To the slanderer.
212
00:12:29.405 --> 00:12:33.670
You know, many times, and it's sorry to say this,
213
00:12:33.670 --> 00:12:37.930
but people start believing the lies
214
00:12:37.930 --> 00:12:39.730
so much,
215
00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:42.910
they believe their worries,
they believe their complaints.
216
00:12:42.910 --> 00:12:46.090
They believe the case that
they have up in their mind
217
00:12:46.090 --> 00:12:47.830
and it's in their body
218
00:12:47.830 --> 00:12:51.370
and they have emotions surrounded about it
219
00:12:51.370 --> 00:12:53.740
that they become
220
00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.440
deceived and they believe it.
221
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.730
You might have somebody
in your life right now
222
00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:03.220
that's not acting in the right way.
223
00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:07.180
And you say, how could that
person who walks so close
224
00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:11.590
with God, how, how can they be this person
225
00:13:11.590 --> 00:13:14.140
now? I don't understand.
226
00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.230
Well, I believe it's a process.
227
00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:21.190
I believe it's a process
that happens slowly,
228
00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:24.460
but that we open the door; we open the door
229
00:13:24.460 --> 00:13:26.110
to the slanderer.
230
00:13:26.110 --> 00:13:28.000
Now, he may be slandering you
231
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.360
or he could slander somebody you know.
232
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.820
So let's say he's slandering
somebody, you know,
233
00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:37.630
accusing them day and night over and over again in your mind
234
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:43.000
and and you believe it and
you start to worry about it,
235
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.560
and you start to care about it.
236
00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:47.770
And now you believe you
have a right to all that.
237
00:13:47.770 --> 00:13:49.570
And now it's in your emotions.
238
00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:52.810
You have emotions about
it, and you listen to it
239
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:54.400
and it's habitual
240
00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:59.400
and it speaks to you
so much that you began
241
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.740
to absolutely believe it.
242
00:14:03.670 --> 00:14:06.700
And you start acting on that
243
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:10.450
and you become the deceived one.
244
00:14:10.450 --> 00:14:12.490
Why would I talk about that so much?
245
00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:15.550
Because the devil he wants
246
00:14:15.550 --> 00:14:19.720
to deceive. It says he's seeking whom
247
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.850
he may devour.
248
00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:26.230
So he's looking for that
one that's believing wrong.
249
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:30.010
He's looking for that one
that's listening to his lies
250
00:14:31.870 --> 00:14:34.210
and has opened the door.
251
00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:37.690
That's how dangerous that worry is
252
00:14:37.690 --> 00:14:40.330
because it opens the door to the devil.
253
00:14:40.330 --> 00:14:42.160
So what do we want to do?
254
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.220
And I'm sure many of
you doing this already.
255
00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:47.410
You are shutting the door to the devil.
256
00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:51.800
You are shutting the door to him
257
00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:56.800
because the Bible says you have authority.
258
00:14:56.810 --> 00:15:00.710
And when it says resist the devil, it is,
259
00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:02.330
and that's in the next verse,
260
00:15:02.330 --> 00:15:07.070
it is a disciplinary action.
261
00:15:07.070 --> 00:15:10.850
Okay? If you discipline your child,
262
00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:13.730
you are the one in authority, not the child.
263
00:15:13.730 --> 00:15:17.630
So you are the disciplinary
one, not the devil,
264
00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:21.110
not his lies, not for
him to run you around,
265
00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:26.110
but for you to come into
a disciplinary action
266
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.280
and resist him.
267
00:15:29.180 --> 00:15:33.440
Resist him, and he will
268
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.490
flee from you.
269
00:15:35.630 --> 00:15:37.910
I think friend, that's amazing
270
00:15:37.910 --> 00:15:42.380
because that verse confirms who it is
271
00:15:42.380 --> 00:15:43.670
that has the power.
272
00:15:43.670 --> 00:15:46.280
It's not the devil, it's you.
273
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.490
You are the one with the power.
274
00:15:49.490 --> 00:15:52.790
You are the one with the say-so, you are the one
275
00:15:52.790 --> 00:15:55.790
with the authority who can say,
276
00:15:55.790 --> 00:16:00.020
I discipline you right now, devil; you get out
277
00:16:00.020 --> 00:16:04.070
of my thoughts, you get out of my emotions.
278
00:16:04.070 --> 00:16:09.070
I take authority over you.
You have no right to me.
279
00:16:09.170 --> 00:16:11.630
That's shutting the door on the devil,
280
00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:17.630
and that's shutting the
door on his his accusations.
281
00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:23.240
Now, how can we turn to Jesus in this?
282
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.620
What is Jesus' attitude to us when we're having this battle?
283
00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:32.210
Oh, he's so tenderhearted towards us.
284
00:16:32.210 --> 00:16:37.210
He so cares about every
care that we are carrying.
285
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:41.330
And I want you to look at Matthew 11
286
00:16:43.310 --> 00:16:48.310
and it's verse 28, and these are the words of Jesus.
287
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:53.420
And it says, Come to me
288
00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:56.360
and all you who labor heavy laden
289
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.080
and I will give you rest.
290
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:05.080
Take my yoke upon you and
learn of me for I'm gentle
291
00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:07.880
and lowly in heart,
292
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.710
and you will find rest for your souls.
293
00:17:12.710 --> 00:17:14.990
For my yoke is easy
294
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.750
and my burden is light.
295
00:17:18.800 --> 00:17:22.400
Oh, I love this scripture.
There's so much here.
296
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.630
Here we have the invitation of Jesus.
297
00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:30.890
We already know from 1 Peter 5:7
298
00:17:30.890 --> 00:17:34.370
that he says, Cast your care on me
299
00:17:34.370 --> 00:17:36.620
for I care for you.
300
00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:40.880
And now here he's saying, come to me.
301
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.840
Come to me all you who
302
00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:48.560
labor and are heavy laden.
303
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.190
And what will he do? He'll give you rest.
304
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:56.820
It's like, it's the great exchange.
305
00:17:56.820 --> 00:18:00.120
It's like we we're heavy laden,
306
00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:02.520
we are burden,
307
00:18:02.520 --> 00:18:06.150
and we're carrying all that burden.
308
00:18:06.150 --> 00:18:10.950
And Jesus is standing there
and he says, come to me.
309
00:18:12.330 --> 00:18:14.610
Come to me. Come to me
310
00:18:16.170 --> 00:18:20.640
and I will give you rest.
311
00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:25.500
So we come to him with our heavy
312
00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:28.050
burden and labor,
313
00:18:29.850 --> 00:18:31.650
and we give him that
314
00:18:32.790 --> 00:18:35.850
and he gives us his rest.
315
00:18:37.260 --> 00:18:41.190
Is that not powerful? It's so powerful.
316
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:43.710
And honestly - it's simple.
317
00:18:43.710 --> 00:18:47.476
This isn't a complicated teaching of the Bible.
318
00:18:47.476 --> 00:18:48.734
This is simple.
319
00:18:48.734 --> 00:18:52.830
And Jesus said, as he goes on,
320
00:18:52.830 --> 00:18:55.410
Take my yoke upon you
321
00:18:55.410 --> 00:18:59.220
and learn of me, for I am gentle
322
00:19:00.870 --> 00:19:03.000
and lowly in heart,
323
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.710
and you will find rest for your souls.
324
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:10.380
You know, I love that
325
00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:13.650
because Jesus is saying, okay, come to me
326
00:19:13.650 --> 00:19:16.380
and I have my checklist.
327
00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:19.590
Oh no. Oh no, she's not doing
that. Oh no, he's not doing.
328
00:19:19.590 --> 00:19:22.440
Oh, oh, he did that. Oh, he did that?
329
00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:27.090
No, he says, he says - I'm gentle.
330
00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:31.410
I'm lowly in heart. I'm approachable.
331
00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:36.480
Have you ever known somebody
who's approachable and
332
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.130
and every time you come to 'em, you think,
333
00:19:41.130 --> 00:19:44.100
you know, I really like that person that's like,
334
00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:46.560
it's like I don't want anything from me,
335
00:19:46.560 --> 00:19:48.870
but I have an audience with them.
336
00:19:49.830 --> 00:19:53.360
Well, if you and I came to Jesus,
337
00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:56.970
if he just somehow appeared
in your living room right now
338
00:19:56.970 --> 00:19:58.950
or wherever you are watching this,
339
00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:03.060
you wouldn't find him austere.
340
00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:06.210
You wouldn't find him prideful.
341
00:20:06.210 --> 00:20:11.210
You would find him
powerful, yes, but gentle
342
00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:13.560
and lowly in heart.
343
00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:19.230
And when we would come to
him like that, oh, friend,
344
00:20:19.230 --> 00:20:23.520
you immediately, immediately
345
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:28.260
find rest just meditating on
346
00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:30.420
who he really is.
347
00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:33.510
You just find rest.
348
00:20:33.510 --> 00:20:38.310
You know, I love it in Revelation when John is in the Isle
349
00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:42.780
of Patmos and oh, he sees Jesus and,
350
00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:45.450
the Bible says he falls on the
351
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.510
falls down like a dead and,
352
00:20:51.190 --> 00:20:52.660
and Jesus - it -
353
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:57.280
you can go there and read it
in Revelation; it says He just
354
00:20:57.280 --> 00:21:00.910
touched him and he said, don't be afraid.
355
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:06.370
That's how he is right now.
356
00:21:06.370 --> 00:21:10.810
Whatever situation that you're
dealing with, he just wants
357
00:21:10.810 --> 00:21:14.830
to touch you and say,
don't worry about that.
358
00:21:15.790 --> 00:21:17.650
I've got that.
359
00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:21.520
Come to me and I'll give you
the rest that you're seeking.
360
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.730
Oh, isn't this fabulous?
361
00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:29.170
And then the next thing he
says is, for my yoke is easy
362
00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:31.480
and my burden is light.
363
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:36.430
Have you ever heard
someone say, oh, I've got
364
00:21:36.430 --> 00:21:38.680
so many heavy burdens.
365
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.130
Well, we shouldn't have
those heavy burdens
366
00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:45.970
because he said his yoke is easy
367
00:21:45.970 --> 00:21:47.440
and his burden is light.
368
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.080
So if we are carrying a heavy burden,
369
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:51.940
then we're carrying it by ourself.
370
00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:55.060
But if we're giving it to him,
371
00:21:55.060 --> 00:21:58.300
that burden becomes light.
372
00:21:58.300 --> 00:22:00.370
That's the will of God for us.
373
00:22:00.370 --> 00:22:04.570
Well friend, I've enjoyed so much sharing this amazing word
374
00:22:04.570 --> 00:22:09.130
of God with you and how we
have authority over worry
375
00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:14.080
and how God wants us to be completely delivered
376
00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:17.560
and have peace dominating
377
00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:20.980
and ruling in our hearts.
378
00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:24.730
Well stay with me and
I'm gonna be right back
379
00:22:24.730 --> 00:22:27.370
and we are gonna pray together.
380
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.310
Have you ever worried about something?
381
00:22:30.310 --> 00:22:32.350
Are you worried about it right now?
382
00:22:32.350 --> 00:22:34.900
Did you know you can fight
the temptation to give in
383
00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:36.700
to worry filled thoughts?
384
00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:38.710
Today's world thrives on worry
385
00:22:38.710 --> 00:22:41.980
and promotes fear,
complaining and scandals.
386
00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:44.410
But the good news is Jesus hasn't called
387
00:22:44.410 --> 00:22:45.730
you to live that way.
388
00:22:45.730 --> 00:22:47.410
He tells you not to worry.
389
00:22:47.410 --> 00:22:48.880
And Jesus never tells you
390
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.820
to do something without
giving you the power to do it.
391
00:22:51.820 --> 00:22:56.110
In a new series, Worry-Goodbye!, Denise Renner explains -
392
00:22:56.110 --> 00:23:00.400
What is worry? What Jesus says about worry: What we can do
393
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.440
to change our habits of worry:
394
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.320
The danger of keeping even a little bit of worry.

00:23:05.320 --> 00:23:08.890

Friend,
416
00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:03.740
I love that where we see
that Jesus doesn't want us
417
00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:06.620
to just have a little bit of worry
418
00:24:06.620 --> 00:24:09.500
and just open a little door to the devil.
419
00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:13.340
He wants us to have complete freedom
420
00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:16.850
and that our heart is dominated
421
00:24:17.810 --> 00:24:19.940
and controlled
422
00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:23.420
and empowered by peace.
423
00:24:24.710 --> 00:24:28.070
And as we finished our program, we talked about how he wants
424
00:24:28.070 --> 00:24:29.570
to give you
425
00:24:29.570 --> 00:24:33.890
and I rest for our souls.
426
00:24:33.890 --> 00:24:35.360
That's the will of God.
427
00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:38.840
And I wanna offer to you again
428
00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:42.380
because I really believe it's gonna help you friend,
429
00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:46.610
the 5-part video series to watch this, share it
430
00:24:46.610 --> 00:24:48.410
with somebody and
431
00:24:48.410 --> 00:24:53.410
and get in deeper to getting off that worry
432
00:24:53.810 --> 00:24:57.260
out of your heart, out of your mind, out of your emotions,
433
00:24:57.260 --> 00:24:59.060
and out of your body
434
00:24:59.060 --> 00:25:02.600
because he paid the price for us to have that.
435
00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:07.010
And then also the Companion Study Guide - I want you
436
00:25:07.010 --> 00:25:10.190
to have it and I want you to have my book
437
00:25:10.190 --> 00:25:12.530
because probably somebody right now,
438
00:25:13.670 --> 00:25:17.000
you're worried, you're worried.
439
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.480
You're worried because a diagnosis that the doctor gave you,
440
00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:25.370
you are worried that
you're not gonna make it.

00:25:25.370 --> 00:25:27.560

You are worried because of that diagnosis.
446
00:25:38.150 --> 00:25:41.150
And oh, friend, I just
want you to have this book.
447
00:25:41.150 --> 00:25:43.760
I want you to have this revelation
448
00:25:43.760 --> 00:25:47.720
that Jesus not only saved you
449
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:52.010
with his mighty blood, with
this powerful sacrifice
450
00:25:52.010 --> 00:25:54.830
for us, but that in every drop of
451
00:25:54.830 --> 00:25:58.340
that blood was your healing.
452
00:25:58.340 --> 00:26:00.830

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:17.573
Amen.
