You can choose not to worry

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?  Matthew 26: 27 AMPC

Do not fret, (worry) or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite request), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.  Philippians 4:6  AMPC
 
A lot of Christians are familiar with Jesus’ question, “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” But so many Christians do not let it get into their hearts and allow the love of God to free them from their habit of worrying.  

There is a powerful truth here that we absolutely have to see and understand. It is this: “NO AMOUNT OF WORRYING CAN LENGTHEN YOUR LIFE OR ADD ANYTHING TO YOUR PHYSICAL PERSON.” Instead, worrying robs you of sleep, health and many good years. The truth is, it is only when you are WORRY FREE that God’s anointing flows freely in you, strengthening, healing, restoring and adding to you.
 
In other words, there is zero amount of benefits to worrying. It can’t help you even in the smallest of ways. Some people think they can’t help but worry about certain things. There are also Christians who are deceived into thinking that if you truly love your children then you can’t help but worry about them. But according to the scriptures, this isn’t true at all. 
The Bible teaches us that, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth  out fear: because fear hath torment. HE THAT FEARETH IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE.” (1 John 4:18) So this verse makes it very clear that there is no benefit to being in fear in anyway and worrying is for sure a by product of fear.  

Fear wants to take a dominant role in our lives when we get a disturbing report from the doctor. But if we’re on a continual diet of God’s Word, there is faith available to choose not to fear and choose to respond in faith. If you receive a bad report from your doctor, you can choose to speak words of faith like, JESUS IS MY HEALER. I RECEIVE MY HEALING NOW. I AM HEALED BECAUSE I AM RESTING IN GOD COMPLETELY.  

Friends, when you worry, you are actually believing that the devil has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you from. But when you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in the devil’s ability to harm you. When you refuse to worry but choose to rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of your blessing. YOU WILL SEE YOUR MIRACLE. Thank you Jesus.
