Christ Our Power And Provision

Philippians 4:6-7Christ is our Purpose, Pattern, Prize, Power and Provision. When we demonstrate forgiveness and not hold grudges we magnify Christ through us - we show the world that we are children of God. Our purpose is to magnify God. Philippians 4:4 states that we must live in freedom and fullness. We live in a world full of uncertainties and anxiousness therefore it’s necessary to live a life of rejoicing and thanksgiving.Psalm 139David was not afraid to express his concerns and anxiety to the Lord. We can be rest assured that God sees, knows and is in everything. Our concerns can either launch us into faith and trust in God or can lead us a downward spiral into depression and defeat. Once we meditate too much on fear and anxiety then defeat becomes our reality and normal way of thinking. Our thoughts can easily become a stronghold- a highway for the enemy to use and get to us to bombard our minds with lies.How do we come out of it?Prayer will always lead into praise instead of worry. Out of prayer we get reminded of who we are and the power we hold. Lets take into consideration what we watch, what we listen to and the people that we spend our time with. What we focus on determines what you fill your mind with. The reason why we get anxious in our lives is not because of our circumstances, but because of what we allow ourselves to focus on. Let’s discipline ourselves to spent time with God and talk to Him about our issues.It’s crucial to gather all the facts when we are concerned. Lack of facts leads into confusion, indecisiveness and conflict. Look at all the facts concerning your situation so you can apply the Truth. Know the Truth and it will set you free. Faith does not deny the facts, but looks at a greater reality. Once you know the facts and truth, take it to God, hear Him with the right council around you and rejoice always- he is the one that enables and empowers us.
