AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.37\00:00:14.48
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A COMMANDMENT
00:00:14.51\00:00:16.11
HERE FROM JESUS; HE'S SAYING,
'THOU SHALT NOT WORRY.' YOU
00:00:16.14\00:00:19.25
KNOW, JESUS SAID, 'YOU WILL
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.'
00:00:19.28\00:00:22.82
YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD BE A
REASON TO WORRY, WOULDN'T YOU?
00:00:22.85\00:00:25.25
CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE A PEOPLE OF FAITH.
00:00:25.29\00:00:28.76
NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE
ONLY ONE THAT HAS A TENDENCY TO
00:00:31.73\00:00:35.36
WORRY. ARE THERE
ANY WORRIERS OUT THERE?
00:00:35.40\00:00:40.27
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, I COULD PROBABLY
00:00:40.30\00:00:42.14
HELP YOU THINK OF SOMETHING.
(LAUGHTER) THERE'S A LOT OF
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.81
THINGS THAT, IF YOU WANT
TO, YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT.
00:00:44.84\00:00:49.48
YOU COULD WORRY
ABOUT YOUR SALVATION.
00:00:49.51\00:00:53.05
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT THE
SALVATION OF OTHERS YOU LOVE.
00:00:53.08\00:00:56.42
YOU COULD WORRY
ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
00:00:56.45\00:00:59.89
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT LIFE.
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT DEATH.
00:00:59.92\00:01:02.89
YOU COULD WORRY ABOUT JUST
THE BASICS FROM DAY TO DAY.
00:01:02.92\00:01:08.30
NO LIMIT TO THINGS
THAT YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT.
00:01:08.33\00:01:11.00
AND, YET, IN SPITE OF ALL THE
THINGS THAT CONCERN US, DO YOU
00:01:11.03\00:01:14.27
KNOW THAT WE ARE COMMANDED
TO NOT WORRY, IN THE BIBLE.
00:01:14.30\00:01:18.41
I'D LIKE YOU TO GO AHEAD AND
JOIN ME IN THE SAME PASSAGE THAT
00:01:18.44\00:01:21.21
WE HAD IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING.
00:01:21.24\00:01:23.21
TURN TO MATTHEW
CHAPTER 6, VERSE 24.
00:01:23.24\00:01:26.82
AND HERE, JESUS SAID, "NO
ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS; FOR
00:01:26.85\00:01:30.95
EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE AND
LOVE THE OTHER, OR ELSE HE WILL
00:01:30.99\00:01:34.72
BE LOYAL TO THE ONE
AND DESPISE THE OTHER.
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.76
YOU CANNOT
SERVE GOD AND MAMMON."
00:01:37.79\00:01:40.80
NOW, I'M READING FROM
THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION.
00:01:40.83\00:01:44.07
SOME OTHER VERSIONS
MIGHT SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:01:44.10\00:01:46.50
THAT WORD THERE 'MAMMON' IS
ACTUALLY THE WORD 'ABUNDANCE'.
00:01:46.53\00:01:51.91
IT MEANS 'ABUNDANCE OF THINGS'
OR 'ABUNDANCE OF RICHES'.
00:01:51.94\00:01:55.51
A TRANSLATION WOULD BE
'AN ABUNDANCE OF STUFF'.
00:01:55.54\00:01:59.45
YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD
AND AN ABUNDANCE OF STUFF.
00:01:59.48\00:02:05.99
WE TEND TO
WORRY ABOUT OUR STUFF.
00:02:06.02\00:02:09.52
ALL KINDS OF STUFF - STUFF CAN
BE THINGS, STUFF CAN BE OTHER
00:02:09.56\00:02:13.96
STUFF - SORT OF
A GENERAL PHRASE.
00:02:14.00\00:02:17.83
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON, IN CASE
YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, HE BEGINS
00:02:17.87\00:02:20.04
TO SPECIFY. HE
SAID, "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
00:02:20.07\00:02:23.94
YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR
WHAT YOU WILL DRINK; NOR ABOUT
00:02:23.97\00:02:29.04
YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL PUT ON.
IS NOT LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND
00:02:29.08\00:02:34.55
THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING?"
NOW, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF
00:02:34.58\00:02:37.75
COMMANDMENTS IN THE BIBLE -
YOU'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:02:37.79\00:02:40.32
- AND, EVERY NOW AND THEN, SOME
OF THE COMMANDMENTS SAY, 'THOU
00:02:40.36\00:02:42.09
SHALT' AND OTHERS
SAY, 'THOU SHALT NOT'.
00:02:42.12\00:02:44.36
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A COMMANDMENT
HERE FROM JESUS; HE'S SAYING,
00:02:44.39\00:02:46.76
'THOU SHALT NOT WORRY.' AND IT'S
EASIER WHEN YOU KNOW, 'WELL,
00:02:46.80\00:02:54.80
YOU'RE GOD. IT'S
EASY FOR YOU TO SAY THAT.
00:02:54.84\00:02:57.14
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING
00:02:57.17\00:02:59.87
TO HAPPEN, SO I'M WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.' BUT THE
00:02:59.91\00:03:03.11
QUESTION IS: DO YOU TRUST YOUR
LIFE TO SOMEONE THAT DOES KNOW?
00:03:03.14\00:03:08.88
HE SAYS, 'TRUST
ME. LIVE BY FAITH.
00:03:08.92\00:03:11.39
DON'T WORRY.' IT WRECKS
YOUR WITNESS, FOR ONE THING.
00:03:11.42\00:03:15.89
CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A
PEOPLE OF FAITH AND, IF WE SPEND
00:03:15.92\00:03:20.00
OUR LIVES WORRYING - FOLKS
DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW TO WORRY,
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.23
EVERYONE DOES THAT PRETTY WELL.
BUT IF WE MEET SOMEONE THAT
00:03:24.27\00:03:27.47
KNOWS HOW TO BELIEVE,
THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE INSPIRING.
00:03:27.50\00:03:31.11
I HEARD ABOUT TWO FRIENDS THAT
WERE TALKING ONE DAY AND ONE WAS
00:03:31.14\00:03:35.18
TELLING HIS BUDDY, HE
SAID, 'YEAH, MY HOUSE IS IN
00:03:35.21\00:03:40.15
FORECLOSURE, LOST MY JOB,
MEDICAL INSURANCE HAS BEEN
00:03:40.18\00:03:44.59
CANCELED, KIDS JUST DROPPED OUT
OF SCHOOL, AND' - HE SAID - 'YOU
00:03:44.62\00:03:49.76
KNOW, MY CREDIT CARDS ARE MAXED
OUT' - HE SAID - 'BUT I'M NOT
00:03:49.79\00:03:52.43
WORRIED.' - HE SAID - 'I'VE
ACTUALLY HIRED SOMEONE WHO IS A
00:03:52.46\00:03:56.00
PROFESSIONAL WORRIER TO WORRY
FOR ME.' (LAUGHTER) AND HIS
00:03:56.03\00:03:59.60
FRIEND SAID, 'WOW, THAT'S
AMAZING' - HE SAID - 'WHAT DOES
00:03:59.63\00:04:03.20
THAT COST YOU?' HE
SAID, 'IT'S $50,000.00 A
00:04:03.24\00:04:05.11
YEAR.' HE SAID, 'WHERE IN
THE WORLD ARE YOU GOING TO
00:04:05.14\00:04:06.98
GET $50,000.00 A YEAR?'
HE SAID, 'THAT'S HIS JOB, I
00:04:07.01\00:04:09.88
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.'
(LAUGHTER) WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
00:04:09.91\00:04:14.38
IF WE COULD HAVE SOMEONE
ELSE DO ALL OUR WORRYING FOR US?
00:04:14.42\00:04:17.72
DO WE HAVE SOMEBODY? YES.
00:04:17.75\00:04:21.42
DOESN'T THE BIBLE SAY THAT
WE CAN CAST OUR CARES UPON HIM?
00:04:21.46\00:04:26.16
WORRY IS NOT PART
OF GOD'S PLAN FOR US.
00:04:26.19\00:04:28.36
NOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO AND
START OFF WITH A DEFINITION.
00:04:28.40\00:04:32.77
TO WORRY, IT MEANS 'TO
FEEL ANXIOUS OR CONCERNED ABOUT
00:04:32.80\00:04:37.51
SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED
OR MAY HAPPEN; TO TORMENT
00:04:37.54\00:04:41.31
ONESELF OR TO SUFFER FROM
DISTURBING THOUGHT OR ANXIETIES;
00:04:41.34\00:04:45.85
TO FRET; TO BE TROUBLED; TO
AGONIZE; TO BE BOTHERED; FEAR;
00:04:45.88\00:04:51.55
UNEASE; SLEEPLESSNESS.' THE WORD
'WORRY' ACTUALLY COMES FROM AN
00:04:51.59\00:04:56.56
OLD ANGLO-SAXON WORD 'WYRGAN'
AND IT MEANS 'TO CHOKE OR TO
00:04:56.59\00:05:01.80
STRANGLE'. HAVE
YOU EVER SEEN A PERSON
00:05:01.83\00:05:06.37
THAT'S JUST - THEY'RE
CHOKED BY THEIR FEARS?
00:05:06.40\00:05:10.14
WE HAVE AN EXPRESSION WHEN YOU
PLAY POOL: CHOKING BEHIND THE
00:05:10.17\00:05:13.98
EIGHT BALL. YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:05:14.01\00:05:16.75
OR OTHER SPORTS THEY SAY,
YOU KNOW, HERE HE HAD THIS
00:05:16.78\00:05:19.15
FREE-THROW SHOT BUT ALL THE
ANXIETY - EVERYTHING DEPENDED ON
00:05:19.18\00:05:22.12
HIM AND HE CHOKED. YOU
EVER HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:05:22.15\00:05:26.09
YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE TO DRIVE
IN THE HOME RUN AND WIN THE GAME
00:05:26.12\00:05:28.42
AND TURN EVERYTHING - ALL THE
PRESSURE, HE STARTED TO WORRY -
00:05:28.46\00:05:32.73
HE CHOKED - COULDN'T PERFORM
BECAUSE OF THE WORRY - IS WHAT
00:05:32.76\00:05:36.20
THEY CALL THAT. JESUS TALKS
ABOUT HOW WORRY WILL CHOKE YOU.
00:05:36.23\00:05:40.14
MATTER OF FACT,
HE HAS A PARABLE.
00:05:40.17\00:05:42.07
SOME OF THE GOOD SEED "FELL
AMONG THE THORNS ARE THOSE WHO,
00:05:42.10\00:05:45.41
WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, GO OUT
AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES,..."
00:05:45.44\00:05:52.38
NOW JESUS DRAWS ON A FEW
DIFFERENT ILLUSTRATIONS TO HELP
00:05:52.41\00:05:55.98
US UNDERSTAND THAT AND HE SAYS,
IN MATTHEW 6:26, "LOOK AT THE
00:05:56.02\00:06:03.29
BIRDS OF THE AIR," - NOW I
REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST READ THAT,
00:06:03.32\00:06:07.23
I THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW, LORD, I'VE
GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND THESE
00:06:07.30\00:06:11.33
ARE BIG PROBLEMS AND
YOU'RE TELLING ME, 'LOOK AT THE
00:06:11.37\00:06:14.17
BIRDS.'' AND I'M GOING, 'I DON'T
WANT TO LOOK AT THE BIRDS, I
00:06:14.20\00:06:18.31
MEAN, BIRDS DON'T WORRY LIKE
ME. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.71
PROBLEMS I'VE GOT.' HE'S
SAYING, 'EXACTLY.' NOW JESUS
00:06:20.74\00:06:23.55
KNEW WHAT HE WAS
SAYING. HE SAID, 'LOOK AT THE
00:06:23.58\00:06:25.65
BIRDS...FOR THEY NEITHER SOW NOR
REAP NOR GATHER INTO BARNS;..."
00:06:25.68\00:06:32.35
NOW, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
GET THROUGH THE BAD SEASONS
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.86
BECAUSE WE THINK AHEAD, WE WORRY
ABOUT THE FUTURE AND SO, IN
00:06:34.89\00:06:37.46
WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU DO
HAVE TO PLAN, AND THAT'S OKAY.
00:06:37.49\00:06:40.10
AND SO, YOU FARM, YOU KNOW, YOU
SOW AND YOU WEED AND YOU PUT IN
00:06:40.13\00:06:44.53
A BARN AND YOU TRY TO
TAKE CARE OF THE NEXT YEAR.
00:06:44.57\00:06:46.87
HE SAID, 'BIRDS DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.' BIRDS JUST KIND OF
00:06:46.90\00:06:49.67
WAKE UP - YOU EVER SEE
A BIRD WITH A SUITCASE?
00:06:49.70\00:06:52.74
YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS SENT
OUT THE APOSTLES, HE PRETTY MUCH
00:06:52.77\00:06:55.51
TOLD THEM, 'YOU GO OUT - DON'T
TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU.' NOW, WE
00:06:55.54\00:07:02.72
USUALLY DON'T TELL
OUR AFCOE STUDENTS THAT.
00:07:02.75\00:07:05.15
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING
TO GO DO A MISSION PROJECT.
00:07:05.19\00:07:07.62
BUT JESUS, HE SAID, 'LOOK, I
WANT YOU TO LEARN TO TRUST ME.'
00:07:07.66\00:07:11.69
HE SAID, 'I DON'T
WANT YOU TO TAKE A PURSE.
00:07:11.73\00:07:13.43
I DON'T WANT YOU TO
TAKE AN EXTRA STAFF.
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.40
I WANT YOU TO GO OUT AND JUST
LIVE BY FAITH AND TRUST ME.'
00:07:16.43\00:07:21.50
AND DID HE TAKE
CARE OF THEM? YES.
00:07:21.54\00:07:24.04
SO LOOK AT THE BIRDS, LOOK
AT THE FLOWERS - "...WHY WORRY
00:07:24.07\00:07:29.28
ABOUT CLOTHING?...THEY
NEITHER TOIL NOR SPIN; AND
00:07:29.31\00:07:34.08
YET I SAY TO YOU THAT EVEN
SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT
00:07:34.12\00:07:38.45
ARRAYED LIKE ONE
OF THESE" - FLOWERS.
00:07:38.49\00:07:40.72
AND, LET'S FACE IT, THERE ARE
SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OUT THERE
00:07:40.76\00:07:43.02
NO HUMAN CAN DUPLICATE WITH
THEIR LOOMS - THE BEAUTY OF THE
00:07:43.06\00:07:47.23
FLOWERS. AND, THEN,
JESUS MAKES A POINT,
00:07:47.30\00:07:48.86
HE SAID, "IF GOD SO CLOTHES THE
GRASS OF THE FIELD," - FLOWERS -
00:07:48.90\00:07:53.70
"WHICH TODAY IS, AND TOMORROW
IS THROWN INTO THE OVEN, WILL HE
00:07:53.74\00:07:58.34
NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE
YOU, O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH?"
00:07:58.37\00:08:01.78
NOW, JESUS IS BASICALLY SAYING,
'LOOK, I SEE THE SPARROW WHEN
00:08:01.81\00:08:06.38
HE'S HUNGRY AND I FEED
IT' - ANOTHER VERSE SAYS THAT.
00:08:06.41\00:08:09.98
HE SAYS, A SPARROW DOES
NOT FALL TO THE GROUND WITHOUT
00:08:10.02\00:08:12.89
THE NOTICE OF
YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:08:12.92\00:08:15.96
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON - HE
TELLS US IN MATTHEW 10:31, "DO
00:08:15.99\00:08:19.09
NOT FEAR THEREFORE; YOU ARE OF
MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS."
00:08:19.13\00:08:22.86
IF GOD CARES ENOUGH TO FEED THE
SPARROWS, IF HE CARES ENOUGH TO
00:08:22.90\00:08:27.70
CLOTHE THE FLOWERS, HE
SAYS, 'WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?
00:08:27.74\00:08:32.17
I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.'
GO TO LUKE 10, VERSE 38.
00:08:32.21\00:08:36.85
NOW IT HAPPENED THAT THEY WENT
TO A CERTAIN VILLAGE - THAT WAS
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.98
BETHANY - "AND A CERTAIN WOMAN
NAMED MARTHA WELCOMED HIM INTO
00:08:39.01\00:08:42.52
HER HOUSE." - WE
KNOW THEY WERE FRIENDS -
00:08:42.55\00:08:45.05
"SHE HAD A SISTER NAMED MARY" -
ALSO HAD A BROTHER NAMED LAZARUS
00:08:45.09\00:08:49.22
- "WHO ALSO SAT AT
JESUS' FEET AND HEARD HIS WORD.
00:08:49.26\00:08:52.69
BUT MARTHA WAS DISTRACTED WITH
MUCH SERVING," - NOW THAT WORD
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.80
'DISTRACTED' - HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN WORRIED TO DISTRACTION?
00:08:56.83\00:09:00.24
YOU'RE GOING FROM ONE ROOM TO
THE NEXT AND YOU'RE THINKING OF
00:09:00.27\00:09:02.20
SOMETHING ELSE YOU FORGOT, YOU
KNOW, 'OH, I'VE GOT TO GET THIS'
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.74
AND 'OH, I'VE GOT TO WATCH THAT
ON THE OVEN.' 'THAT'S ABOUT TO
00:09:04.77\00:09:07.38
BOIL OVER, OVER HERE. AND
YOU'VE GOT THESE PEOPLE AND
00:09:07.41\00:09:09.38
THE PLACES SET - WE
GOT - OH THE DOORBELL RANG.
00:09:09.41\00:09:12.01
SOMEONE GET THE DOOR.' AND, YOU
KNOW, MARTHA'S JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:09:12.05\00:09:14.68
SHE'S LIKE COORDINATING
THIS DINNER THEY'RE HAVING.
00:09:14.72\00:09:18.12
LATER, IT TALKS ABOUT THAT
DINNER WHERE MARY WASHED THE
00:09:18.15\00:09:20.79
FEET OF JESUS, BUT
MAY BE THE SAME DINNER.
00:09:20.82\00:09:23.02
MARY, SITTING AT JESUS' FEET AND
JESUS IS TALKING, TEACHING WITH
00:09:23.06\00:09:26.39
THE APOSTLES AND MARTHA'S TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY.
00:09:26.43\00:09:28.93
SHE'S GOT A HOUSEFUL. I
MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU
00:09:28.96\00:09:31.43
HAVE TO FEED 13 MEN, YOU
WANT YOUR SISTER TO HELP.
00:09:31.47\00:09:36.34
AND THEN, THERE ARE
OTHER GUESTS COMING.
00:09:36.37\00:09:39.07
AND MARY'S JUST SITTING THERE
LISTENING TO THE WORD; SHE'S
00:09:39.11\00:09:41.58
JUST DRINKING IT IN
AND HER HEART IS WARMED.
00:09:41.61\00:09:44.28
AND MARTHA'S GLARING AT HER.
00:09:44.31\00:09:46.92
EVERY TIME SHE GOES RIP-SNORTING
BY TO GET ANOTHER CASSEROLE, SHE
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.95
LOOKS AT MARY AND KIND OF 'UGH'
- YOU KNOW, KIND OF GIVES HIM
00:09:49.98\00:09:52.42
THE EYE - OR HER THE EYE - AND
FINALLY SHE SAYS, 'LOOK, JESUS
00:09:52.45\00:09:56.32
IS BECOMING AN ACCESSORY
TO HER IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR.
00:09:56.36\00:10:01.13
LOOK AT ALL I'VE GOT TO DO.'
FINALLY, SHE STOPS AND TAPS HER
00:10:01.16\00:10:05.37
FOOT WITH HER ARMS
FOLDED. SHE SAYS, 'LORD,
00:10:05.40\00:10:08.87
CAN'T YOU HELP ME?
DON'T YOU CARE THAT MY SISTER
00:10:08.90\00:10:12.47
HAS LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?
LOOK, SHE'S JUST SITTING THERE.
00:10:12.51\00:10:15.71
TELL HER TO GET UP AND HELP ME.'
AND JESUS SAID TO HER, 'MARTHA,
00:10:15.74\00:10:21.25
MARTHA' - AS THOUGH
SAYING IT ONCE WAS NOT ENOUGH.
00:10:21.28\00:10:24.95
CAN YOU PICTURE
JESUS SHAKING HIS HEAD?
00:10:24.99\00:10:26.96
'MARTHA, MARTHA' - I MEAN, HE'S
TALKING TO HIS HOSTESS, YOU'VE
00:10:26.99\00:10:30.56
GOT TO BE NICE.
"MARTHA, MARTHA, YOU ARE WORRIED
00:10:30.59\00:10:35.80
AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY
THINGS." ANY MARTHAS OUT HERE?
00:10:35.83\00:10:39.77
COME ON, NOW, HOW MANY OF
YOU WORRY? AM I WASTING MY TIME
00:10:39.80\00:10:43.91
TODAY? (LAUGHTER) I THINK THE
QUESTION IS 'WHAT DO YOU WORRY
00:10:43.94\00:10:47.24
ABOUT?' I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS IS GOING TO BOTHER YOU -
00:10:47.28\00:10:53.25
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING
TO THINK LESS OF ME AS A PASTOR,
00:10:53.28\00:10:56.08
BUT I DON'T WORRY ABOUT
YOUR TROUBLES AS MUCH AS I WORRY
00:10:56.12\00:11:01.22
ABOUT MY TROUBLES. (LAUGHTER)
00:11:01.26\00:11:04.43
I - IT'S NOT THAT I
DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW,
00:11:04.46\00:11:06.43
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU AND I MIGHT
HAVE SOME GENUINE CONCERN AND
00:11:06.46\00:11:09.50
THE BETTER I KNOW YOU, THE MORE
I MIGHT THINK ABOUT IT AND BE
00:11:09.53\00:11:12.63
CONCERNED ABOUT YOU, BUT YOUR
TROUBLES USUALLY DON'T KEEP ME
00:11:12.67\00:11:15.87
UP AT NIGHT.
(LAUGHTER) WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?
00:11:15.90\00:11:20.81
I THINK YOU WILL, BECAUSE
MY TROUBLES DON'T KEEP YOU UP.
00:11:20.84\00:11:22.81
(LAUGHTER) I WAS TRYING TO TAKE
A NAP - I TRY TO TAKE A NAP,
00:11:22.84\00:11:27.65
BRIEFLY, ALMOST EVERY DAY,
BECAUSE I FIND I GET A LOT MORE
00:11:27.68\00:11:31.25
DONE - A LOT MORE WRITING -
AND I LAID DOWN AND I STARTED
00:11:31.29\00:11:33.86
THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING I
COULD DO AND MY HEART STARTED
00:11:33.89\00:11:36.16
RACING - IT WAS ALMOST
LIKE A MINI PANIC ATTACK.
00:11:36.19\00:11:39.29
I THOUGHT, 'OH MAN, I HAVE GOT
SO MANY MESSAGES TO PREPARE AND
00:11:39.33\00:11:42.60
ARTICLES TO WRITE AND LETTERS TO
WRITE AND I'M THINKING, 'OH MAN,
00:11:42.63\00:11:45.63
HOW AM I EVER
GOING TO GET IT DONE?
00:11:45.67\00:11:48.14
BUT THEN I REMEMBERED, YOU KNOW,
AFTER 20 YEARS WITH AMAZING
00:11:48.17\00:11:51.07
FACTS AND OVER 30 YEARS
PASTORING, I SAID, 'I'M STILL
00:11:51.11\00:11:56.18
ALIVE.' AND IT SEEMED LIKE
ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE
00:11:56.21\00:11:59.85
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS
SOMEHOW GOT DONE AND THE ONES
00:11:59.88\00:12:02.45
THAT DIDN'T GET DONE DIDN'T KILL
ME. I'LL PROBABLY BE ALRIGHT.
00:12:02.48\00:12:06.69
THE THINGS THAT YOU WORRY ABOUT,
SOMETIMES YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU
00:12:06.72\00:12:08.82
SAY, 'YOU KNOW,
GOD WORKED IT OUT.'
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.43
AMEN. AND I WASTED ALL THE JOY I
00:12:11.46\00:12:14.23
COULD HAVE HAD DURING THAT
TIME AND PEACE AND GOOD WITNESS
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.40
WORRYING ABOUT THINGS I DIDN'T
NEED TO WORRY ABOUT. GOD TOOK
00:12:17.43\00:12:21.27
CARE OF IT. BUT WE HAVE
OUR THINGS THAT WE WORRY ABOUT.
00:12:21.30\00:12:26.44
HE SAID, "MARTHA, MARTHA, YOU
ARE WORRIED AND TROUBLED ABOUT
00:12:26.47\00:12:28.54
MANY THINGS. BUT ONE
THING IS NEEDED, AND MARY
00:12:28.58\00:12:31.91
HAS CHOSEN THAT GOOD
PART," - WHAT DID MARY CHOOSE?
00:12:31.95\00:12:34.85
SHE SAT TO HEAR THE
WORD AND SHE WORSHIPED JESUS.
00:12:34.88\00:12:38.79
SO DO YOU WANT TO WORRY
OR DO YOU WANT TO WORSHIP?
00:12:38.82\00:12:41.26
MALE ANNOUNCER: DO YOU
FEEL AS THOUGH YOUR WORLD
00:12:41.29\00:12:43.22
IS SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL?
00:12:43.26\00:12:45.53
OR PERHAPS NEW LIFE
CHALLENGES ARE FRIGHTENING
00:12:45.56\00:12:47.36
YOU MORE THAN THEY SHOULD.
00:12:47.40\00:12:49.06
ARE YOU SINKING
WHILE YOU'RE THINKING?
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.33
EXCESSIVE WORRY CAN CONSUME YOU,
00:12:51.37\00:12:53.74
EATING YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
00:12:53.77\00:12:55.57
RESULTING IN SICKNESS,
INSOMNIA, AND PARALYZING FEAR.
00:12:55.60\00:12:59.41
IT CAN ALSO
DAMAGE RELATIONSHIPS,
00:12:59.44\00:13:00.94
RUIN OPPORTUNITIES,
00:13:00.98\00:13:02.38
AND YES, DIMINISH YOUR
WITNESS FOR THE GOSPEL.
00:13:02.41\00:13:06.08
WORRY AFFECTS
EVERYBODY DIFFERENTLY
00:13:06.11\00:13:08.58
BUT IT'S ALL DRIVEN BY FEAR
SO HOW CAN YOU OVERCOME A WORLD
00:13:08.62\00:13:12.72
FULL OF REASONS TO BE ANXIOUS?
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.16
I'D LIKE TO

FORTY-THREE PERCENT OF ALL
ADULTS SUFFER HEALTH EFFECTS DUE
00:13:43.12\00:13:46.99
TO WORRY AND STRESS. THAT'S
ALSO TRUE AMONG CHRISTIANS.
00:13:47.02\00:13:52.29
UP TO 75 OF ALL VISITS TO
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS ARE
00:13:52.33\00:13:56.16
STRESS-RELATED
COMPLAINTS OR DISORDERS.
00:13:56.20\00:13:59.57
WORRY, OR ANXIETY, CAN CAUSE
TWITCHING, TREMBLING, MUSCLE
00:13:59.60\00:14:04.41
TENSION, HEADACHES,
SWEATING, DRY MOUTH, DIFFICULTY
00:14:04.44\00:14:07.14

RAPID BREATHING, DIARRHEA
OR FREQUENT NEED TO URINATE,
00:14:15.15\00:14:18.35
FATIGUE, IRRITABILITY, INCLUDING
THE LOSS OF YOUR TEMPER,
00:14:18.39\00:14:21.79
SLEEPING DIFFICULTIES,
NIGHTMARES, DECREASED
00:14:21.82\00:14:24.19
CONCENTRATION, LOWER
GRADES, AND HAIR LOSS.
00:14:24.23\00:14:30.47
THAT'S JUST WHAT IT
SAID. I DON'T WORRY.
00:14:30.50\00:14:38.01
SOMEONE SAID, 'FOR EVERYONE THAT
DIES FROM A MAJOR MISFORTUNE,
00:14:38.04\00:14:41.41
TEN DIE FROM LITTLE WORRIES.
00:14:41.44\00:14:46.21
SOMEONE ELSE WROTE, 'WORMS EAT
YOU WHEN YOU'RE DEAD; WORRIES
00:14:46.25\00:14:49.52
EAT YOU WHEN YOU'RE ALIVE.' AND
SOMEONE ELSE, 'HAPPY IS THE MAN
00:14:49.55\00:14:54.72
THAT'S TOO BUSY TO WORRY BY
DAY AND TOO SLEEPY TO WORRY AT
00:14:54.76\00:14:57.29
NIGHT.' HELEN STEINER-RICE, A
POET, WROTE A POEM: "WORRY, WHY
00:14:57.33\00:15:03.67
WORRY? WHAT CAN WORRY DO?
00:15:03.70\00:15:06.03
IT NEVER KEEPS A
TROUBLE FROM OVERTAKING YOU.
00:15:06.07\00:15:09.10
IT GIVES YOU INDIGESTION AND
SLEEPLESS HOURS AT NIGHT, AND
00:15:09.14\00:15:12.37
FILLS WITH GLOOM THE
DAYS, HOWEVER FAIR AND BRIGHT."
00:15:12.41\00:15:17.35
SO WHAT DO PEOPLE
WORRY ABOUT? DO PEOPLE WORRY
00:15:17.38\00:15:20.18
ABOUT THEIR HEALTH?
THEIR FOOD, CLOTHES?
00:15:20.22\00:15:23.62
JESUS MENTIONED LONELINESS,
CHILDREN, THEY WORRY ABOUT
00:15:23.65\00:15:26.52
MONEY, GOSSIP, THEY
WORRY ABOUT RETIREMENT.
00:15:26.55\00:15:33.86
36 PERCENT OF PEOPLE INTERVIEWED
SAID ONE OF THE BIGGEST SOURCES
00:15:33.90\00:15:37.00
OF STRESS IS THEIR
JOB. 22 PERCENT - MONEY
00:15:37.03\00:15:42.10
- THAT'D BE RELATED.
10 PERCENT - CHILDREN.
00:15:42.14\00:15:44.64
7 PERCENT HEALTH.
5 PERCENT MARRIAGE.
00:15:44.67\00:15:48.31
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, 10 PERCENT
OF THE WOMEN WORRY ABOUT THE
00:15:48.34\00:15:52.01
MARRIAGE; 3 PERCENT OF THE MEN,
SO IT AVERAGES OUT TO 5 PERCENT.
00:15:52.05\00:15:56.42
THE MEN THINK, 'YEAH, IT'S
FINE, DINNER'S ON THE TABLE.
00:15:56.45\00:15:58.05
OUR MARRIAGE IS FINE.' THE
WOMAN DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY.
00:15:58.09\00:16:02.02
5 PERCENT ABOUT PARENTS.
5 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE SAY
00:16:02.06\00:16:05.96
THEY HAVE NO WORRIES AT
ALL. SO I WOULD THINK THAT
00:16:05.99\00:16:09.20
THIS WOULD BE
RELEVANT. DOES THE EVENING
00:16:09.23\00:16:12.23
NEWS FRIGHTEN YOU? YOU
KNOW, JESUS SAID, 'YOU WILL
00:16:12.27\00:16:16.04
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.'
YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD BE A
00:16:16.07\00:16:19.64
REASON TO WORRY, WOULDN'T YOU?
JESUS SAID, 'SEE THAT YOU ARE
00:16:19.67\00:16:23.08
NOT TROUBLED.' SO, IF YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO WORRY ABOUT A
00:16:23.11\00:16:26.82
NUCLEAR WAR, THEN YOU
TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED
00:16:26.85\00:16:30.05
TO WORRy ABOUT?
JESUS IS NOT WORRIED.
00:16:30.09\00:16:35.02
YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR THE NEWS AND
YOU SEE - EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO,
00:16:35.06\00:16:39.86
THREE HURRICANES - MAJOR
HURRICANES ON THE EAST COAST,
00:16:39.89\00:16:43.87
NORTH KOREAN DICTATOR KEEPS
LOBBING MISSILES OVER EVERYBODY
00:16:43.90\00:16:47.90
AND SAYING HE'S BUILDING A
NUCLEAR ONE - HE'S GOING TO TURN
00:16:47.94\00:16:50.74
US TO DUST, AND TROOPS ARE
AMASSING ON THE EUROPEAN BORDER
00:16:50.77\00:16:57.01
- RUSSIAN TROOPS - AND PROBLEMS
IN SYRIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST -
00:16:57.05\00:17:01.65
WARS IN AFRICA - AND YOU JUST -
YOU LISTEN TO ALL THIS STUFF AND
00:17:01.68\00:17:04.09
YOU THINK, 'BOY, IF YOU WANT
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, WE
00:17:04.12\00:17:06.86
OUGHT TO, YOU KNOW, WE OUGHT
TO WRITE IT ALL DOWN AND PASS IT
00:17:06.89\00:17:08.89
AROUND AND JUST
SHARE IT WITH EACH OTHER.
00:17:08.92\00:17:11.56
JUST SAY, 'LOOK, I'M NOT GOING
TO WORRY ABOUT THIS, YOU WORRY
00:17:11.59\00:17:13.13
ABOUT THAT.' JUST NO SHORTAGE
OF THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.
00:17:13.16\00:17:17.23
SO YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE UP
YOUR MIND, 'DO I TRUST GOD?'
00:17:17.27\00:17:22.27
AMEN. HERE'S THE QUESTION:
00:17:22.30\00:17:25.61
IS GOD WORRIED? NO.
00:17:25.64\00:17:27.61
IS GOD WORRIED
ABOUT NUCLEAR WAR?
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.31
'OH NO, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.'
I MEAN, IS GOD WORRIED ABOUT
00:17:30.35\00:17:35.62
ANYTHING? OR IS HE
COMPLETELY AT PEACE?
00:17:35.65\00:17:39.55
HE'S CRYING. OH,
HE MAY BE SAD, BECAUSE
00:17:39.59\00:17:42.96
GOD HAS EMOTIONS,
BUT HE'S NOT WORRIED.
00:17:42.99\00:17:46.73
SO - AND IT DOESN'T MEAN - NOW,
WHEN I TALK ABOUT NOT WORRYING,
00:17:46.76\00:17:48.90
IT DOESN'T MEAN
DON'T PLAN. SHOULD WE PLAN?
00:17:48.93\00:17:52.33
SHOULD WE THINK AHEAD?
YOU KNOW, JAMES TELLS US, 'IF
00:17:52.37\00:17:54.37
ANY OF YOU PLAN, YOU SAY, 'WE'RE
GOING TO GO TO THIS CITY, WE'RE
00:17:54.40\00:17:56.50
GOING TO DO BUSINESS, BUY AND
SELL' - HE SAYS, 'SAY, 'IF THE
00:17:56.54\00:17:58.47
LORD WILLS.'' HE EXPECTS US TO
MAKE PLANS, BUT YOU SUBMIT ALL
00:17:58.51\00:18:01.84
THOSE TO GOD BECAUSE GOD
REALLY HAS THE BIG PICTURE.
00:18:01.88\00:18:05.75
PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT ALL KINDS
OF THINGS - WORRY ABOUT WAR.
00:18:05.78\00:18:09.55
SOME PEOPLE WORRY
ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY.
00:18:09.58\00:18:12.72
A LOT OF FOLKS, OF ALL THE
THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, THEY'RE
00:18:12.75\00:18:14.49
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
OTHERS THINK OF THEM.
00:18:14.52\00:18:17.83
EVEN JESUS, HE TOLD YOU, 'PEOPLE
PRAY TO BE SEEN, THEY GIVE TO BE
00:18:17.86\00:18:22.33
SEEN, THEY FAST TO BE SEEN.'
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
00:18:22.36\00:18:25.67
PEOPLE THINK OF THEIR RELIGION.
OR MAYBE YOU KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:18:25.70\00:18:30.17
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEM -
00:18:30.21\00:18:32.61
WORRIED ABOUT
GOSSIP. HERE'S A LITTLE TIP
00:18:32.64\00:18:36.48
FROM ECCLESIASTES.
SOLOMON SAID - CHAPTER 7, VERSE
00:18:36.51\00:18:40.08
21, "DO NOT TAKE TO HEART
EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY, LEST YOU
00:18:40.12\00:18:45.35
HEAR YOUR SERVANT CURSING YOU.
FOR MANY TIMES, ALSO, YOUR OWN
00:18:45.39\00:18:49.32
HEART HAS KNOWN THAT
EVEN YOU HAVE CURSED OTHERS."
00:18:49.36\00:18:52.66
LET ME GIVE YOU A MORE MODERN
TRANSLATION: DON'T WORRY ABOUT
00:18:52.69\00:18:55.06
WHAT EVERYONE SAYS, YOU'RE
GOING TO HEAR, EVEN PEOPLE CLOSE
00:18:55.10\00:18:57.37
TO YOU, SAY NEGATIVE THINGS
ABOUT YOU AND YOU'VE PROBABLY
00:18:57.40\00:19:01.07
DONE THE SAME
THING.' PEOPLE TALK.
00:19:01.10\00:19:06.07
PEOPLE SAY A LOT OF DUMB
THINGS. IF YOU WORRY ABOUT WHAT
00:19:06.11\00:19:08.64
EVERYBODY SAYS - I HEARD THAT
THERE WAS A WEBSITE YOU COULD GO
00:19:08.68\00:19:11.61
TO AND IT WOULD DO A SEARCH
FOR YOU AND FIND OUT WHO'S
00:19:11.65\00:19:13.65
TALKING ABOUT YOU.
THAT WOULD DRIVE YOU
00:19:13.68\00:19:17.25
CRAZY, WOULDN'T IT?
WORRY ABOUT WHAT EVERYBODY'S
00:19:17.29\00:19:19.65
SAYING - OR IF YOU
COULD HEAR - WOULDN'T IT?
00:19:19.69\00:19:22.12
EVERY - ANYONE - YOU COULD HEAR
WHAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT YOU?
00:19:22.16\00:19:25.19
THAT'D PROBABLY BE
REALLY BAD FOR YOUR SELF-ESTEEM.
00:19:25.23\00:19:29.10
DON'T WORRY
ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
00:19:29.13\00:19:31.03
NOW, JESUS TELLS
US THE SAME THING.
00:19:31.07\00:19:33.97
HE SAYS, IN MATTHEW 5:11,
BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN THEY REVILE
00:19:34.00\00:19:38.01
YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SAY
ALL KINDS OF EVIL AGAINST YOU
00:19:38.04\00:19:41.68
FALSELY FOR MY SAKE."
WELL, MAKE SURE IT'S FALSELY.
00:19:41.71\00:19:45.91
BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING
THINGS ABOUT YOU AND THEY'RE
00:19:45.95\00:19:48.15
RIDICULING YOU, AND THEY'RE
GOSSIPING ABOUT YOU, JESUS NOT
00:19:48.18\00:19:50.62
ONLY SAYS YOU'RE
BLESSED, HE SAYS, 'REJOICE!'
00:19:50.65\00:19:53.92
NOW YOU'LL REJOICE WHEN YOU
HEAR PEOPLE ARE SAYING NEGATIVE
00:19:53.96\00:19:56.36
THINGS ABOUT
YOU? SOME PEOPLE WORRY
00:19:56.39\00:19:59.46
ABOUT PROVISION.
JESUS SAID TO THE DISCIPLES,
00:19:59.49\00:20:02.76
"THEREFORE...DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
YOUR LIFE," - THAT'S A COMMAND -
00:20:02.80\00:20:07.57
"WHAT YOU WILL EAT...NOR ABOUT
YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL PUT ON.
00:20:07.60\00:20:10.91
IS NOT LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND
THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING?"
00:20:10.94\00:20:14.34
HE DOESN'T MEAN DON'T TAKE
PRACTICAL THOUGHT FOR THE BASICS
00:20:14.38\00:20:18.18
OF LIFE, BUT DON'T BE
ANXIOUS ABOUT THOSE THINGS.
00:20:18.21\00:20:24.39
PSALM 37, KING DAVID SAID, "I
HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW AM OLD;
00:20:24.42\00:20:28.76
YET HAVE I NOT SEEN THE
RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS
00:20:28.79\00:20:31.19
DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD."
DAVID SAID, 'THROUGH MY WHOLE
00:20:31.23\00:20:34.10
LIFE I HAVE NOT SEEN GOD
FORSAKE HIS PEOPLE.' GOD'LL
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.63
TAKE CARE OF YOU.
ISAIAH 33, "HE WILL DWELL ON
00:20:37.67\00:20:42.20
HIGH; HIS PLACE OF DEFENSE WILL
BE THE FORTRESS OF ROCKS; BREAD
00:20:42.24\00:20:47.08
WILL BE GIVEN HIM,
HIS WATER WILL BE SURE."
00:20:47.11\00:20:49.74
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WERE LED BY THE LORD, OUT OF THE
00:20:49.78\00:20:52.51
WILDERNESS, DID
HE GIVE THEM FOOD?
00:20:52.55\00:20:56.28
YES. DID HE GIVE THEM WATER?
00:20:56.32\00:20:59.19
DID HE PRESERVE THEIR CLOTHES?
00:20:59.22\00:21:02.96
YOU KNOW, GOD ACTUALLY SAID,
AFTER 40 YEARS OF GOING THROUGH
00:21:02.99\00:21:05.66
THE WILDERNESS, HE SAID, 'I WANT
YOU TO REMEMBER, LOOK BACK, YOUR
00:21:05.69\00:21:09.30
SHOES DID NOT WEAR OUT AND YOUR
GARMENTS DID NOT WEAR OUT.' HE
00:21:09.33\00:21:14.00
SAID, 'I TOOK CARE OF YOU.' AND
SO, WHEN JESUS SAID, 'HE FEEDS
00:21:14.04\00:21:17.84
THE BIRDS, HE CLOTHES THE
FLOWER; DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT
00:21:17.87\00:21:20.81
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT OR DRINK OR
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR.' HE
00:21:20.84\00:21:23.81
REALLY DOES TAKE
CARE OF US. AMEN.
00:21:23.85\00:21:27.38
AND, OF COURSE, PHILIPPIANS
- WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT WORRY?
00:21:27.42\00:21:31.02
"BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN"
- THE WORD 'ANXIOUS' THERE MEANS
00:21:31.05\00:21:34.89
'ANXIETY' - IT MEANS 'WORRY' -
DON'T BE WORRIED ABOUT HOW MUCH?
00:21:34.92\00:21:38.76
PAUL SAID, 'DON'T BE
WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING.
00:21:38.79\00:21:40.93
IT DOESN'T MEAN
DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.
00:21:40.96\00:21:42.23
YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE?
BUT DON'T BE ANXIOUS.
00:21:42.26\00:21:45.77
DON'T HAVE THE STRESS.
DON'T LET IT CHOKE YOU.
00:21:45.80\00:21:48.70
DON'T BE ANXIOUS FOR ANYTHING,
"BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND
00:21:48.74\00:21:52.41
SUPPLICATION," - SO THERE'S ONE
ANSWER - "WITH THANKSGIVING," -
00:21:52.44\00:21:56.11
BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO
HAVE - LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE
00:21:56.14\00:21:59.58
KNOWN TO GOD. AND
THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH
00:21:59.61\00:22:02.08
SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING,
WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND
00:22:02.12\00:22:04.82
MINDS THROUGH CHRIST
JESUS." SO HERE ARE SOME THINGS
00:22:04.85\00:22:07.36
YOU CAN DO ABOUT WORRY.
PRAY, SING - YOU EVER WORRY AND
00:22:07.39\00:22:13.03
YOU START SINGING AND
IT JUST SEEMS TO EVAPORATE?
00:22:13.06\00:22:16.33
BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF GOD -
BELIEVE HE'S WITH YOU, BELIEVE
00:22:16.36\00:22:19.13
HE'S IN CONTROL. NO
MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM
00:22:19.17\00:22:21.24
IS, GOD HAS AN ANSWER. YOU
KNOW THAT PROMISE IN ROMANS
00:22:21.27\00:22:25.57
8:28, "ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD,
00:22:25.61\00:22:31.51
TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED
ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE."
00:22:31.55\00:22:34.95
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. EXERCISE.
00:22:34.98\00:22:38.15
SOME PEOPLE ARE WORRIED AND
THEY JUST NEED TO GET OUT AND,
00:22:38.19\00:22:41.96
SOMETIMES GETTING OUTSIDE
WILL BRING YOU RELIEF AND PEACE.
00:22:41.99\00:22:46.80
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY WRITE
DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'RE
00:22:46.83\00:22:48.60
WORRIED ABOUT AND
THEN GIVE IT TO GOD.
00:22:48.63\00:22:51.47
SAY, 'LORD, YOU'RE
MY PROFESSIONAL WORRIER.
00:22:51.50\00:22:54.17
I'M GIVING MY WORRIES TO
YOU.' JEREMIAH 29:11 - CLAIM THE
00:22:54.20\00:22:59.57
PROMISES OF GOD, "FOR I KNOW
THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD
00:22:59.61\00:23:02.88
YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF
PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE
00:23:02.91\00:23:06.85
YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE." YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN WE THINK,
00:23:06.88\00:23:10.12
'OH, GOD'S GOING TO DO ME IN.
I'VE GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS.'
00:23:10.15\00:23:12.59
AND GOD SAYS, 'NO, I'M
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:23:12.62\00:23:15.09
DON'T WORRY.' 1 PETER 5:7,
"THEREFORE HUMBLE YOURSELVES
00:23:15.12\00:23:20.76
UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD,
THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE
00:23:20.80\00:23:23.73
TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE"
- WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR CARE?
00:23:23.77\00:23:28.20
ALL. 25 PERCENT?
'LORD - I DON'T -
00:23:28.24\00:23:31.31
I'M WORRIED, LORD, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO WORRY ENOUGH, SO I NEED
00:23:31.34\00:23:33.07
TO WORRY ABOUT SOME OF IT.'
IF I DON'T WORRY, WHO'S GOING TO
00:23:33.11\00:23:36.68
WORRY? CASTING ALL OF
YOUR CARE UPON HIM - WHY?
00:23:36.71\00:23:40.28
BECAUSE HE CARES FOR
YOU. SO, WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?
00:23:40.32\00:23:43.12
JESUS GIVES US THE SOLUTION
RIGHT THERE IN THE SAME PASSAGE:
00:23:43.15\00:23:46.59
"BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS".
00:23:46.62\00:23:51.49
OUR PRIORITY SHOULD BE TO
DO THE WORK OF HIS KINGDOM.
00:23:51.53\00:23:54.66
RIGHT. TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:23:54.73\00:23:56.56
HIS KINGDOM IN US - HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS - HIS KINGDOM
00:23:56.60\00:23:59.77
AROUND US. IF WE
MAKE IT THE PRIORITY TO
00:23:59.80\00:24:02.00
BUILD UP HIS KINGDOM - AND
HE SAYS, 'ALL THESE THINGS' -
00:24:02.04\00:24:05.01
WHAT ARE THE 'THESE THINGS'?
THE THINGS THAT HE MENTIONED
00:24:05.04\00:24:08.01
THAT PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT.
NOW, FOR YOU, IT MAY NOT BE
00:24:08.04\00:24:10.58
FOOD, IT MAY NOT BE DRINK, IT
MAY NOT BE CLOTHES, BUT WHATEVER
00:24:10.61\00:24:14.45
IT IS, IT SAYS, 'CAST ALL YOUR
CARES UPON HIM.' ALL THESE OTHER
00:24:14.48\00:24:19.19
THINGS WILL BE ADDED -
'I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR BASICS.
00:24:19.22\00:24:21.52
I'LL TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU
NEED.' "THEREFORE DO NOT WORRY
00:24:21.56\00:24:24.99
ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW
WILL WORRY ABOUT ITS OWN
00:24:25.03\00:24:29.36
THINGS." WE ALL
REALLY HAVE THOSE TWO
00:24:29.40\00:24:31.73
CHOICES: ARE WE GOING TO WORRY
OR ARE WE GOING TO WORSHIP?
00:24:31.77\00:24:35.47
ARE WE GOING TO LIVE BY FAITH
LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE FLOWERS
00:24:35.50\00:24:40.74
AND JUST LIVE FOR THE GLORY OF
GOD, TRUSTING THAT EVEN THOUGH
00:24:40.78\00:24:43.24
YOU DON'T SEE HIM - WOULD
IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER IF GOD
00:24:43.28\00:24:48.15
SHOULD JUST WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
AND SAY, 'I KNOW ABOUT ALL THE
00:24:48.18\00:24:51.22
THINGS YOU'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT
NOW, DON'T WORRY, I'VE GOT IT
00:24:51.25\00:24:53.52
COVERED.' WOULD THAT - IF YOU -
WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
00:24:53.56\00:24:57.06
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT? HE'S DOING IT TODAY.
00:24:57.09\00:25:00.36
I MEAN, HE SAID
IT IN HIS WORD. AMEN.
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.66
IT'S NOT ME,
IT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
00:25:02.70\00:25:05.13
JESUS SAID, 'DON'T WORRY.'
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE.
00:25:05.17\00:25:09.40
AND YOU WATCH, ONE BY ONE,
JUST AS HE'S TAKEN CARE OF YOU
00:25:09.44\00:25:13.38
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE - THAT'S
WHY YOU'RE HERE - I'M PRETTY
00:25:13.41\00:25:15.88
SAFE IN SAYING THAT. HE
WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS.
00:25:15.91\00:25:20.05
PRAY FOR WISDOM, PRAY FOR GRACE,
PRAY FOR ENERGY - WHATEVER THE
00:25:20.08\00:25:23.82
THINGS YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR,
PRAY FOR THE PRACTICAL ANSWERS
00:25:23.85\00:25:26.05
THAT YOU NEED, BUT
THEN LEAVE IT WITH GOD.
00:25:26.09\00:25:30.03
HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE
GOING THROUGH LIFE CHOKED.
00:25:30.06\00:25:33.03
AMEN. AMEN?
00:25:33.06\00:25:34.46
AMEN. GOD'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.27
JESUS SAYS, 'COME UNTO
ME. CAST YOUR CARES UPON ME.
00:25:37.30\00:25:40.97
MY BURDEN IS
EASY. MY LOAD IS LIGHT.

MALE ANNOUNCER: DO YOU
FEEL AS THOUGH YOUR WORLD
00:25:47.78\00:25:49.38
IS SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL?
00:25:49.41\00:25:51.35
OR PERHAPS NEW LIFE
CHALLENGES ARE FRIGHTENING
00:25:51.38\00:25:53.42
YOU MORE THAN THEY SHOULD.
00:25:53.45\00:25:54.78
ARE YOU SINKING
WHILE YOU'RE THINKING?
00:25:54.82\00:25:57.19
EXCESSIVE WORRY CAN CONSUME YOU,
00:25:57.22\00:25:59.35
EATING YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
00:25:59.39\00:26:01.36
RESULTING IN SICKNESS,
INSOMNIA, AND PARALYZING FEAR.
00:26:01.39\00:26:05.16
IT CAN ALSO
DAMAGE RELATIONSHIPS,
00:26:05.19\00:26:07.13
RUIN OPPORTUNITIES,
00:26:07.20\00:26:08.46
AND YES, DIMINISH YOUR
WITNESS FOR THE GOSPEL.
00:26:08.50\00:26:11.60
WORRY AFFECTS
EVERYBODY DIFFERENTLY
00:26:11.63\00:26:14.14
BUT IT'S ALL DRIVEN BY FEAR
SO HOW CAN YOU OVERCOME A WORLD
00:26:14.17\00:26:18.44
FULL OF REASONS TO BE ANXIOUS?
00:26:18.47\00:26:21.04
