I really love today's "Faith Food" devotionalby Kenneth E. Hagin that we read at Morning Prayer!
Doing Philippians 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every
circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests),
with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. — PHILIPPIANS
4:6 (Amplified)
A minister once came to me for advice. There were many
storms in his life, and I felt sorry for him. He couldn’t eat or sleep.
Just to sympathize with him wasn’t enough, so I had to read
Philippians 4:6. “But everyone doesn’t have the faith you have,” he told me.
“Yes, but they have the same Bible,” I replied, “and it’s a matter of
practicing the Word.”
Then I showed him how to practice the Word: I read a verse
aloud and then told the Lord, “Your Word is true, and I believe it.” When I
first started practicing this verse, I believed I could make my requests known
to God, but it was hard for me to believe I could keep from fretting. However,
God won’t ask us to do something we can’t do. So when God said not to fret,
this means we can keep from fretting.
So I say aloud, “I refuse to fret or have any anxiety about
anything.” Then I bring my requests to the Lord and thank Him for them. This
quiets the troubled spirit the devil tried to make me have. If the devil tries
to get me to worry again, I simply go back, reread this verse, and keep
claiming it.
Confession: I am a doer of Philippians 4:6!
AMEN! Be a DOER of the Word of God! Allow HIM something to work with to bless you abundantly! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Best Friends":
Shalom in Him!
