Are you stressed? Believe!

Are you stressed? Believe!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 14:1
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

Are you disturbed? Are you troubled? Are you worried and upset? Look at this verse, Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

Jesus said, let not your heart be troubled. This means it's your choice. Proverbs 4. 23 says, 'Guard your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.' Guarding your heart is your responsibility. Be careful what you believe and receive into your heart. Whatever you choose to believe and receive, will determine how you respond and react, how you speak, behave and how you lead your life. If your heart is troubled, worried, upset and disturbed then the question is, what are you believing? Why are you not believing what the word of God says? This is why Jesus said, Believe in me and you won't be disturbed or troubled. Believe Gods word. Believe Gods love for you. Faith in Gods word and Gods love will bring rest to your souls and health to your bones. You won't be troubled when you trust Jesus and hold on to His word. You might be in the worst place on earth and still experience the peace of God by simply trusting Jesus. It is impossible for those who cling on to Gods word, rely on His love and follow Jesus, to ever stay disturbed, troubled or upset. The faith way is the stress free way. Romans 10.17 says, Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. So, keep hearing the word of God consistently and let the word of God dwell in you richly. Mediate on the word day and night and you won't be stressed another moment in your life. Speak the word of God consistently and let it be established as the only language you know.

Friend, being troubled, stressed and upset is an indication that your faith is in the wrong person or the wrong thing. Jesus said, Believe in me and you won't be troubled. Heaven and earth will pass way, but the word of God will never pass away. Refuse to hear anything that's against the word. Refuse to meditate on anything that's against the word. Refuse to speak anything that's against the word. Guard your heart and fix it on Jesus and His word. Be at peace, at rest and in the joy of the Holy Spirit. This is your time! Jesus is Lord!
