Scripture look-up: Nehemiah chapter 3 and 4
We are walking in today: God Has Orchestrated It All!
Matthew 6:31-34 31 Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the
morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Therefore
do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself! Each
day has enough trouble of its own. God told us on Monday do not labor
for food that perishes! Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. I love this verse because no matter,
who you are or what you are going through you just need to nod your head
in agreement. It is that crystal clear. There is no point in
worrying, that will only make things worse! We must get to a point
where we realize we are not in control. When I took Matthew 6:34 and
paired it with Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. I
was freed from the shackles of worry. I has awoken to the fact that
God has got it under control. After all He orchestrated it all!
Everything we have been through and every thing we are going to go
through--God has got His hand on it. We need to let go and trust that
God has our back. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. He
is the bread of life--don't labor or food that perishes! Therefore do
not worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself. Worry is
empty and gets no where. We need to learn to trust God. He gave us our
life and He will sustain it. There are things we should never worry about 1) things that you can't change; 2) things that you can change. Faithless,
Jesus used the same penetrating word when He spoke to the disciples
after He had calmed the storm. Do you still have not faith?! Or His
other statement on their faith, o ye of little faith? Faith and worry
are on opposite ends of the spectrum. If you are overcome with worry
that is a sure indicator that you are not doing well in the faith
department. In Matthew 6:28-36, we see that faith is trusting God will
provide. God is so great! He is so loving and our lack of faith sends
the signal that we don't really believe. Worry is worldly as we see
walking through Matthew 6:31-32. The world spends all their energy
running after material needs. We can easily find ourselves acting like
the world. To confront worry and anxiety, we as believers seek God. We
put God first. We move away from worry to faith! This is how we live,
by faith! Instead of becoming overly worried about the future.
Matthew 6:33 lets us know that our basic needs for food and clothes are
covered. God knows what we have need of. He is sufficient to provide
that and much more. We must put out trust in Him! (Matthew 6:34)
So think about it this morning. God has orchestrated all things! So
why are we even worrying about tomorrow? God said don't worry about
tomorrow. All we have to do is cast our cares on Him, for He cares for
us! Our entire life has been orchestrated by God! All of it! If
He knew you before you were shaped in your mother's womb and He knows
the number of hairs on your head, you have got to know that all
things have been orchestrated by Him! The place that you are in right
now, God already knew you would be there. God has orchestrated what you
are going through right now. God has gone before you to make the
crooked places straight. He is our Way out of no way! No matter what
you are faced with--don't you worry about tomorrow! Tell God today, I
trust You! I Am standing on Your promises, Lord. We don't have time to
worry about tomorrow. I need to fight that devil today! I need to
bring things to the being of God! We lay those things at Your feet. We
are no longer worried about tomorrow. This is the day that the Lord
has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! He knows the plans that He
has for us! Trust Him! Walk it out! Ask for the impossible--expect
the unexpected! Why be worried?! He has already made provision, from
the very beginning! Tell Him, I trust You, Lord! Why are you worried?
Trust God! We serve notice: no devil in hell is gonna stop us! We are
ready for battle and in position on our knees! We are standing on 2
Chronicles 20:17. God is with us--that is why we don't have to worry!
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord lifts up a standard
against him! We are living in Revelation. We have got to stand with
God. Fiveamprayer, be still and know that He is God all my Himself!
Look to God, nobody but Him can fix it! Put on the whole armor of God!
The enemy is like a roaming lion, seeking who he may devour. No weapon
that is formed against us shall prosper! Be not worried about
tomorrow! We are gonna have to fight and pick up our weapons! We can't
worry about tomorrow! God gives us daily bread! The Lord supplies all
of our needs according to His riches in glory. There is nothing
lacking in the kingdom of God and we are children of the kingdom. We
can not be moved out of position or speaking out of turn based on what
we seen in this temporary kingdom of this world. Hold on to God's word,
the word that lasts forever! God has the final say! We have to suit
up for battle, this is combat time! We are fighting this devil! Take
your eyes off of the situation, look to God! Tell the sun and moon to
stand still we got to look at this with spiritual eyes! Get up and
fight today! Don't worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about
itself! Matthew 6:25, 27 (AMP) 25 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? 27 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? We are on the
battlefield for the Lord, we will serve Him until we die! The enemy
wants to take your mind off of your mission. He knows that you need
food and clothes. God crafted us wouldn't He also give us all that is
needful to us? Our God knows what we need even before we do. He even
prepares us in advance, we just have to pay attention and not to allow
distractions to divide our focus from Him! We are not to be anxious for
anything! Stand on His promises! Stand on His word! God You
said...take Him back His word, be a good student of the word! Pick up
your sword and keep on swing at those lies! His strength is made
perfect in our weakness. So even when we are weak, by God we have
strength! The joy of the Lord is our strength! We will not back down
nor turn around, we have come too far and prayed for too long! The
enemy can not take us off of our destiny track! There is no weapon that
is formed against us that shall prosper, fiveamprayer (a nice visual of
what no weapon prospering looks like)!
Every tongue that is spoken against us, shall be condemned, that is our
heritage as servants of the Lord! We know who we serve and honor, the
Lord God Almighty! Thank You God! For giving us Your righteousness,
that we are made in right standing with You by the blood of the Lamb
that was slain! We don't battle against flesh and blood, call the devil
out. I see you devil and your tricks won't work they have all fallen
to the ground, they have been made to no effect! My God knows the end
from the beginning and He works all things together for my good! Though
He slay me, yet will I trust Him! God comes to confirm His word and we
can stand on it! Don't look at the distractions! As Pastor Taffe
shared last night that we have to guard our heart, peace, joy and
energy. We are in this fight together. One can chase 1,000 but 2 can
chase 10,000! We have to have others to stand with us in prayer and
fight together! Constant in prayer, watching and fighting! We have to
stay under the word of God, that is what will strengthen us and keep us
in this battle. Our Rock is not like their rock! Fiveamprayer we have
the Rock of Ages, He is all knowing and all powerful! No one like Him!
Ever! God told us that we have to inspect, put on and keep on our
armor! We are in battle and can not be caught without our armor on! Nehemiah 4:20-23 (AMP) 20
In whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there.
Our God will fight for us. 21 So we labored at the work while half of
them held the spears from dawn until the stars came out. 22 At that time
also I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant lodge within
Jerusalem, that at night they may be a guard to us and a laborer during
the day. 23 So none of us—I, my kinsmen, my servants, nor the men of the
guard who followed me—took off our clothes; each kept his weapon [in
his hand for days]. God has given us the tools that we need
to be able to stand and fight! Don't worry about tomorrow. Thank You
Lord! He already knows what you have need of. Walk by faith and not by
sight. The devil thought that he had you afraid and fearful. That is
not even in our DNA! We were given power, love and a sound mind!
Fiveamprayer, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you!
Keep looking to God and not the situation! He is bigger than what you
are facing and He is in control. The position of power is always with
Him. What you are facing is not able to take out God! The Creator of
all things is certainly above what is staring at you. Trust and believe
that God is fully aware of what is going on and we have to be still and
see His hand move in our situation and give Him the glory and praise!
No one else but God can do it! So give honor where honor is due!
Praise Your name God, You have, are and have already brought us out of
what we are in and were in! Amen! The devil is still a liar! We are a
force to be reckoned with! Are you in your battlefield position, on
your knees? Don't worry about tomorrow, instead be planted in the word
of God. If you are worried about your marriage, your children, your
finances seek God first! He has the answers and give you peace that
surpasses all understanding! Don't worry about tomorrow, God told us on
Monday not to labor over food that will perish. Our God supplies all
of our needs! We have got to refocus and shake yourself. Get your
eyes back on God and see this thing in the spiritual. The devil is
still a liar! Look to God who orchestrated this all! He knows the end
from the very beginning, He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!
God can not be surprised! He has been preparing you and equipping you
before that battle, storm or fight got here. That is why He had us
standing on 2 Chronicles 20:17 and we are here still trying to fight and
worried about tomorrow?! God knew you would be here in this place at
this time. Trust God, His thoughts and ways are much higher than ours!
Stop being worried about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
Are you called by God? Then we know that He works all things for our
good! I am glad that God has the master plan, He orchestrated it all!
Stop leaning to your own understanding! Pick up your cross and follow
Him! Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Look to God He is the Alpha and Omega. He knows
the plans that He has for you! Our Rock is not like their rock! Our
Rock made us and they made their rock! Stand on His word, He gave us His word to stand on! Thank You Lord! 1 Peter 4:12-13 12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to
try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice,
inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be
glad in it! Don't change your position because of opposition.
Fiveamprayer think it not strange of the fiery trial that you are in. I
am standing on Your word God! We have to trust Him like never before!
You will get all of the glory God! Praise Him in advance! Don't worry
about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. God supplies all
of our needs, thank You Lord! Get your eyes back on God! The enemy
had us distracted for a second. Keep your eyes on the prize!
Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Who are we not to suffer, we are the ones who committed the crime? Yet
Jesus suffered and is without blame--paid our sin debt! This race is
not given to the swift. I stand on Your promises God! This is all
orchestrated by You God! Get you focus on God. Walk out on the water.
God is beckoning us to come out into the deep with Him. Cast your
cares, He is making us better, wiser and stronger. Come on
fiveamprayer, walk on water! God says, "keep your eyes on ME!
Otherwise, you will sink." We are walking towards You Lord on the
water! Thank You for hearing our prayers and having us to press. The
battle is not ours it it the Lord's! Even in our the darkest hour, it
is darkest just before the dawn. Hallelujah! We will suffer no
temptation that is not common to man, that God will not make a way of
escape for us. To hear this again click here
We
seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Therefore don't
worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself!
