Do Not Be Anxious; Do Not Worry About Your Life, What You Will Eat Or What You Will Drink
Like Any Sin, Fear Lets The Devil In
Mathew 6:25
“”Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
”Matthew 6:25 NKJV

Worry is another word for anxiety which is fear; fear of lack of provision, fear of an outcome of a situation, and very often fear of something that is never going to happen.
Jesus tells us not to worry because it is damaging to our health; it disrupts productivity; it negatively affects the way one treats others; and reduces one’s ability to trust God.
Today, in the midst of the current economic turmoil, mortgages and rents have increased as has energy costs, while income hasn’t really increased at all; many people are worried about their jobs and businesses, how to meet their financial commitments and put food on the table for their families, and the anxiety/ depression including suicidal thoughts has become a real problem in many peoples lives. Indeed, since the days of lockdown, there has been a massive increase in suicides worldwide.
The bible tells us some 365 times, “do not fear.”
Fear is the opposite of faith, like hot is the opposite of cold-where their is faith, there is no fear, no anxiety, and depression cannot survive in you because fear is the very food of depression.
Fear, like any sin, opens the door to the demonic; and gives way to the demonic to enter in. These unclean spirits and demons will make your lives a misery; they come only to steal, kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10).
Once in, they will manipulate your decisions from your very soul, your mind, will, and emotions, and you will find yourself in total confusion doing and believing what is wrong and not doing what you ought (see ROMANS 7:13-25).
The Good News is, these demons are subject to all Spirit filled believers and we can cast them out (LUKE 10:17).
Maybe you are struggling with night mares, anxiety/ depression, suicidal thoughts, dependency, confusion, insomnia or are struggling with repetitive sin, and such things as these, if so, it’s likely you are demonised and are in need of deliverance.
These demons are very real and are happy to take up residence in your body. Like squatters, they will not leave until evicted and while self-deliverance is possible, you are likely to need help from a ministry operating in deliverance.
My beloved, prevention is always better than cure, though many people are born demonised through the sins of their ancestors.
But Jesus said, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:26-34 NKJV
My beloved, all sin lets the devil in, but fear is one of his major weapons. However, you don’t have to accept it, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
