Shalom,

Today's "Faith Food" devotional by Kenneth E. Hagin cotains one of his testimonies that I LOVE! 

Worry

. . . Take no thought for your life . . . . — MATTHEW 6:25

Shortly after I was born again, I promised God, “I’ll never doubt anything I read in Your Word. And I will put Your Word into practice.”

Everything in the Word was a light and a blessing to me until I came to Matthew 6:25. I learned from a footnote that the Greek reads, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow.” Cross-references pointed out that God says, “Do not worry.” But I was full of worry! Not only was I nearly dead with a heart condition; I was about to worry myself the rest of the way to the grave! “Lord,” I said, “if I have to live without worry, I can’t be a Christian!” Suddenly everything in the Word seemed dark and fuzzy; I couldn’t get any more light from the Word. My conscience smote me, because I was not practicing the Word.

Finally at 6:00 p.m. on July 4, 1933, I committed all my cares to the Lord. I said, “Lord, forgive me for worrying, for being full of anxieties, for fretting, for being discouraged, for having the blues, for feeling sorry for myself. I know You will forgive me because You said You would if I’d confess it. From this day on, because You have now forgiven me, I promise You the longest day I live, I will never worry again.”

Confession: I do not worry about tomorrow. I have no worries, no cares. I’ve committed them to God. I never have the blues. I am never discouraged!

AMEN! WORRY is simply UNBELIEF! God and His Word tell us the TRUTH! Then the enemy comes in with dooubt, fear and unbelief based on LIES! Refuse anything that is contrary to the promises of God! When you make that stance, the enemy will be put on the run! Here is Brandon Lake with "Tear Off The Roof":

Shalom in Him!
