Give Your Problems to Jesus
Anxious? Worried? Stressed? Those are emotions based in the physical life you are experiencing. Jesus made it very clear that He wants you to shift from a physical focus to a spiritual focus, and when you do that He can help you. He actually wants you to Give your problems to Jesus! So how do we do that?
1) Awaken your spiritual body
Acknowledge God and His Key Roles – Creator, Provider, Protector, Father,
2) Humble Your Self
I am a sinner in a sinful world. I was born with the sinful nature I got from Adam. I have been selfish and self-centered. When I am being self-centered, I love myself more than I love God. When I am being self-centered, I love myself more than I love others. My ego has played a very strong role in my life: What people think of me, What they say about me, What kind of car I drive, What kind of house I live in, My work life/title/role and My education status. God asks us to love God with ALL my heart – I have not, God asks us to love our neighbors more than ourselves, I have not. I am a sinner. The wages of sin are death. Per God’s righteous Law I am destined for hell, I need a savior.
3) Acknowledge Jesus is The Christ.
The old testament makes at least 47 predictions about a savior coming, He would be born to a virgin woman in Bethlehem. He would come from the blood line of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, David, He would be exiled to Egypt, He would be called the son of God and the son of man. He would enter Jeruselem on a donkey. He would bear the burden of our sins on His body and be a sacrifice for our sins, He would be blameless, yet suffer and die via crucifixion with criminals, He would be resurrected and ascend to heave to be seated at God’s right hand. He would reign as king forever. Jesus did all of this and more. The odds of a single human accomplishing only 8 of the 47 predictions is 1 in 1 to the 1017.
4) Accept Him as Lord Of Your Life
Repent of your sins and your sinful nature, Turn from sinful ways. Reject self-centered agendas and self-conscious emotions, Deny yourself – This life is really not about me, it is about God and His kingdom. I am just a servant, a vessel for His use. Arms and legs to do His work. Invite Him to come and live in you. To teach you and guide you. To form in you. To help you put off the old you, and put on the new you. Submit yourself completely to Him.
5) See Things from God’s Perspective
Transform your mind to see things from God’s perspective. Focus on the spiritual dimension. What does God want to happen: We are all His children, He loves each of us, He put each of here with a purpose, That purpose is corrupted by sin, He sent His son to save us, His son wants to live inside us and help us become the person God intended when He made us. He will heal any damage inside us and empower us to thrive. We need to get ourselves (our selfish agendas) out of the way and trust in Him to do all that.
Talk to God daily; Read His word, Meditate on it, Seek to usnderstand Its message for your life
Talk to Him, Listen to Him. Become friends
Ask the why for your thoughts and actions. What is driving you. Is it Love of God and Love of neighbor?
Become love in action. His love is perfected when it flows through you to others.
6) Understand God’s will
He wants each of us to come to repentance and find Him.
He wants to come and form inside each of us to restore the original Image of God that was tarnished by Adam.
He wants each of us to live life in abundance with Him shining through us.
He wants each of us to become a bright shining light in a dark world. Examples for others to see the kingdom in aciton
When In Doubt of the details of Gods will in a situaiton, Humble yourself and Ask Him to guide your understanding.
7) Pray God’s will into place.
Speak Out loud. The power of death and life is in the tongue. God created the heavens and the earth by speaking. He SAID let there be light.. and there was.
Speak God’s will into place on earth. Grant your permission for God’s will to flow into place.
Pray fervently, boldly. Pray as if you were a field commander instructing an army of angels in front of you to come in and engage in a life or death battle to execute this assignment from God.
8) Believe what you pray and you will receive it.
When you understand God’s will and are aligned with it, You can pray with confidence.
You must believe In your heart, that what you are asking for IS God’s will. When you do this, you can put all of your trust in Jesus to make it happen.
It is His Will, You are aligned with God’s will, and you are asking in Jesus name. When you believe it will happen, you can put your trust in Jesus with expectations of success. This defeats anxiety, worry and all those other physical emotions.
