A Closer Look at Overcoming Fears and Anxiety – Part 2

  1. As long as we are deficient in faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and Charity found in Christ, living in fear and anxiety would remain inevitable. But as we purify ourselves with these things constituted in Christ, we become a fearless faith-breed; a new man in Christ. (2 Pet. 1:5-7, Jer. 23:2-4, 1 Pet. 1:22)
  2. One way to approach our needs unlike unbelievers and carnal believers do. Or of taming the anxiety that comes from cares of this present life, is to confidently whisper with an understanding that says, “My heavenly Father knows that I have need of these things—and has offered me much more in His Kingdom”. (Lk. 12:30-32/18:29-30, Phil. 4:6,11-13,18)
  3. God is raising a company of anxiety-free or stress-free believers on earth, even those who would be bothered by nothing but the issue of keeping the commandment that governs them relating with men and their devil. They would someday be able to sleep like babies do or like Jesus did in a rocky boat, because their souls would be kept in perfect peace. (EccI. 12.13. Mett. 6.25-34, Isa. 26.3)
  4. One of the things every believer would have to overcome while being empowered with God’s righteousness is an anxious state of mind. Anxiety is an unarmed robber! It ensures that the resources of our soul are wrongly consumed with a wrong or unhealthy meditation. (Phil. 3:8-9/4:6-8, Prov. 4:23/23:7)
  5. To knock off deposits of anxiety from a man’s soul or stop him from an unhealthy cycle of thoughts and meditation that drains the energy of his soul, simply help him see the hope of the gospel: the hope of an empowered lifestyle that is obtainable outside the hope of this world. (1 Cor. 15:19, Psa. 19:8/119:111, Col. 1:23)
  6. Anxiety is always born when we bear burdens that are meant to be laid at the Lord’s feet. Or try to mentally figure out things rather than employ the sense of faith, or when we are seeking answers to questions that the enemy has subtly suggested. (Gen. 3:1-7, 1Pet. 5:7, Heb. 11:8)
  7. The reason why most men live in anxiety about tomorrow, or can’t leave worldly thoughts about tomorrow alone, is because the spirits that promote or easily sell such thoughts to them haven’t been consistently uncovered by the preaching of the gospel of Christ. (Matt. 6:31-34, Col. 2:6-7, 15)
