look at the word anxiety look at how
it's spelled in English look at what is in the center of the word. Do you see it?
(Show them on the screen) At the center of your anxiety, if you really trace it, I'm not
talking about a medical condition. I'm not a pharmacist. I don't know about all
that. I'm not a neurologist. I'm saying spiritually speaking that the Lord told
me at the center of your anxiety is your pride the reason that you're so anxious
is because you've got you at the center and you can't sustain it because it's
not your throne. I mean even listen to your language the Lord said I don't know
if I have what it takes I don't know if I can do it I don't know if I can make
it if I, if I, if I.. if I, you can't spell anxiety without I
it's right in the middle and you know what other word I is in the middle of
pride and maybe the reason that you've been carrying anxiety that
you can't get rid of is because you've been bearing weight that you weren't
meant to bear you better humble yourself under the mighty hand of God because if
you stay weighed down with pride you're gonna be weighed down with anxiety and
God can't lift you up casting all your anxiety on him see it's not a command to
cast your anxiety on him it's a result the command is to humble yourself under
his mighty hand and when you do the anxiety goes with the pride if you would get
yourself out of the center and get God on the throne and lift your hands to
him and say I need you Lord. I'm a sinful man. Can't step without you. Can't
breathe without you. Can't eat without you. Can't pray without you. Can't parent
without you. Can't preach without you. can't work without you can't live
without you no peace without you no joy without you God said now I'm ready to
lift you up above the wind above the waves above your pride it's the reason
that you're so anxious because of your pride maybe the anxiety is the fruit and
the pride is the root if you would pluck it up by the root fruit couldn't grow
get yourself out the center get yourself out the center humble yourself under the
mighty hand of God well what if I look stupid some of you are about to try
something right now that you never tried before what if I look stupid I got good
news for you everybody else is thinking about themselves not you, so they won't
even notice but if i i i i i who better to teach us
about humility than peter and now peter writes decades later to a church under
attack humble yourself under the mighty hand of god for your enemy the devil
what's he like he's like a roaring lion he's looking for somebody to devour he's
looking for somebody who he can shred to pieces with doubt and fear and
selfishness he's looking for somebody that he can get to walk away and as a
pastor i'm just sick of having to make phone calls and visits with people every
week who are being devoured by the enemy so peter says this is a time for
resistance this is not a time for you to run this is a time for you to resist
yeah but he's a lion okay he is a lion and he might be licking his lips and his
fangs might be sharp and he might have you in his sight and you might have
failed and you might have done it and you might be going down but you need to
know one thing about this lion Peter says is that after you have suffered a
little while God himself will step in and restore you and make you strong he's
a lion but the lion is on the leash he can only go so far
he can only do much he can't keep you down forever
humble yourself under the hand of God and in due time come on this is somebody's due time this is it anxiety stops here depression stops here fear stops here
in due time he will lift you up and the enemies that we're afraid of
today will be our testimonies in our tomorrow I must say that again the
enemies that you fear today will be your testimony of triumph in your tomorrow
God said it's just a little while the God who has called you into his eternal
glory what lasts forever after you've suffered a little while he himself will
restore you Peter said I know about it cause I've been there I've had me at the
center I failed so bad I didn't know if I could ever bounce back I went back to
my fishing business cuz I figured God didn't have any more use for me but when
I was going down that's where I found his hand when I was going down that's
when he reached out to me just when it looked like the lion had me in his
sights that's when the God of all grace the God of all provision the God of all
power do I have a witness that immediately he reached down and picked you up

Fear, anxiousness ,anxiety depression ends today
God healed me from anxiety and terrible panic attacks
5:37 “the enemies that you fear today will be in your testimony tomorrow” ❤
What if cause of anxiety is because of another person who persecutes you daily ?
The enemies you face today will be your testimony tomorrow
“What if I look stupid?”
What if God makes you look like his?
I get anxiety to the point where my body will lock up and my body tingles and my chest hurts so badly like 20 pounds on it.
When he first said pride I was like “ what? Me? Pride?” Lol so true
Please pray for my grand daughter , Kelsee. She has bad anxiety she can’t drive alone she’s having bad panic attacks. She loves the lord but the devil seems to be winning. Please pray for her
Yeah, blame the victim. This is why I am DONE with church, pastors, and most Christians. Christianity is brutal on people who have mental illness. Don't listen to this jerk. Jesus has WAY more compassion than this guy ever will.
I am Muslim alhamdulilah. I love watching Christians speeches because we are brothers and worship same Lord Allah/God.
Please Pray For Me,,,,im having panic attacks and it has a grip on me and I'm losing it.🙏🏾
Watch you every Sunday. I struggle terrible with overthinking. This opened my eyes
I I I its just so humbling it's all my pride just shredded doubt fear wow
🙏
what i was anxious about was my school. i know it seems really dumb to be anxious from school, because so many people have real problems that they are experiencing. but this is not my life forever.
Your words truly touched my heart. Anxiety can feel so isolating, but this
video gives me hope
And My Another Disappointment Is That God Not Speaking To Us Directly Whenever We Need Help And Support If He Spoke To Us Directly Then We Will Get Courage And Happiness
I Don't Know Why God Allowing This Anxiety To Punish Us It's Really Hard To Face Anxiety And Panic Attacks As Punishment………….I Beg God For Destroying My Arm Instead Of Pulling Me Into Anxiety And Depression God Not Showing Mercy On Me I Know I am A Big Sinner I Agree That But I am Weak I Can't Be Holly Like Jesus Cuz I am A Human And I am Weak
This is so frickin good! Let’s do this jaunt for JC!
Im taking my state exam for nursing for the second time I had an anxiety attack the first time I’m watching this before my exam to help me thank you for this 💕
3:20 – Everybody else is thinking about themselves so they won’t notice. True?
A bit exaggerated if you ask me. Not sure sugar-coating it really helps anyone. People do actually notice, the goal is learning to care less about their opinions day by day.
I use to struggle with anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I had one yesterday but the Lord gave me peace thru while it left. It was amazing.
Please, pray all anxiety, depression and panic attacks are lifted from myself and Sandy. We healed, delivered and we just not stress out. We both also have had back issues. That Sandy and I healed from all spinal issues and nerve issues in our backs not cause us to be paralyzed ever. We just healed and always have great health. This all just be in Jesus name amen
That Anxiety try ' s to over take my life I don't call it mine cause it don't belong to me neither depression it stops right here today in Jesus name 🙌
I am so Grateful and thankful for this Powerful Word. I need God's help and forgiveness, for allowing fear, unbelief, and doubt in my life.

Pray for me jenny had stroke
AMEN!
Lord take the anxiety and bring healing to my body, mind and emotions.
After watching this video, I felt the warmth of God melting away my anxiety as the day continued. I’m going to continue to humble myself and get I out of the way. Thank you Pastor for amazing word, thank God for you.
I start a placement tomorrow, and it is my first time going to a placement ever. I feel so underprepared, and I was so nervous this whole week. I had to look up for sermons for people that was stressed because I could not take it anymore, and this came up. Thank you Pastor Furtick for an amazing sermon, it calmed me down a little bit. I pray God to help me throughout the placement and that I have a wonderful midwife as my buddy so I can learn as much as I could.
😢
I worry a lot about things that could happen. Or likely to happen. I fear the future.
I have anxiety when I wanna praise the Lord in Church because I feel everyone is staring at me. I hope one day I won’t care what other people are thinking. I want to praise the Lord so badly.
Let the devil out of my life God 😮
Am always anxious in my classes. Life feels so boring. I can't even eat 😮
this helps me
