How To Stop Worrying

 


How To Stop Worrying
1) Remember The Word Of God And Jesus' Promises To Remove Worrying

     The first way to stop worrying is to remember the Word of God and Jesus' promises to remove worrying. Jesus said at John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. (Remember God's retirement benefits with Jesus and you won't worry).  In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And whither I go ye know and the way ye know.

     Remember and receive the peace promised by Jesus to stop worrying. Jesus promised us at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rejoice and stop worrying because Jesus' peace passes all understanding according to Philippians 4:7 that says And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 


     The opposite of worry is faith. George Muller said that the beginning of worry is the end of faith and that the beginning of faith is the end of worry. In other words faith in the Lord Jesus stops worrying and gives peace to overcome the troubles of this world. Romans 5:1 promises Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Every day see your problems and fears disappear on the cross of Jesus by faith saying I am crucified with Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. Right now defeat worry, get saved by faith and receive peace from Jesus to overcome any problem in this world. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

A Blessed Poem Telling Us To Stop Worrying

Don't worry about what you eat; Don't worry about shoes on your feet
Don't worry about a place to stay; Let Jesus take your troubles away

Don't worry in the book of Matthew Chapter Six; Jesus preached our worries He'll fix
He said I care for the birds and the flowers too and I'll take care of you


Blessed Sayings To Help You Stop Worrying
Read Jane's Response Below To The Question What Do You Worry About?
Jane said I don't have a house; I don't have to worry about that
I don't have a car; I don't have to worry about that
I don't have any furniture; I don't have to worry about that
If I die I'll go home to be with Jesus so I don't have to worry about that
Therefore, I ain't got nothing to worry about
Remember there's nothing to worry about until there's something to worry about

     Stuff in this world makes people worry. Instead, follow Paul's advice at 1 Timothy 6:6-8 and rejoice with the peace of Jesus. But godliness with contentment is great gain; For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 



The Best Way To Stop Worrying Is To Start Praying

     The cure for worrying is to start praying. In other words to defeat worry, don't react to your problems without prayer; Instead pray and ask Jesus how to solve all your problems. Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing (don't worry); but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Jesus either answers Yes with Peace to your requests or No with no peace to your requests. 

According To Philippians 4:6
Bother God About Everything
Or
Everything Will Bother You
Let Go And Let God; Let God Handle All Your Problems




Worry Is Like A Rocking Chair
It Gives You Something To Do But It Doesn't Get You Anywhere

Instead Stop Worrying About What Can Go Wrong
And Get Excited About What Can Go Right

     1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus); for He careth for you. In other words don't hold onto your problems and worry handing each one slowly to Jesus; Instead quickly throw and cast by faith all your worries and problems as far as you can to the cross of Jesus and Jesus will catch them and fix them. And according to Psalm 34:8 you will taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.


     Remember we are in this world with Jesus but we are not of this world. According to Hebrews 11:13 with Jesus we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth traveling to our heavenly home with Jesus. Jesus told us at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. In other words you cannot keep birds from flying over your head (with the troubles of this world) but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair (where the blood of Jesus will overcome the devil and the worries of this world).

Don't Worry; Be Like The Birds; Birds Have Bills But They Keep On Singing
If Jesus Takes Care Of The Sparrows; Jesus Will Take Care Of You
Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows





How To Stop Worrying
2) Don't Worry About The Future Or Tomorrow
Instead Live For Today According To The Will Of God

     Most people worry about the future and tomorrow. To stop worrying take one day at a time rejoicing by faith that Jesus promised to fix all your problems and supply all your needs. James 4:13 tells us Go to now ye that say To day or To morrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain; Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live and do this or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings; all such rejoicing is evil.

Don't Ruin Today By Worrying About Tomorrow

     The bible tells us not to worry about the future and tomorrow. Proverbs 27:1 says Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Matthew 6:34 says Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself; sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Instead place Jesus first in your life witnessing daily about Jesus, going to church, and studying God's Word and Jesus will fix all your problems and remove all worries. Matthew 6:33 promises But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.




Don't Worry About The Future
Instead Rejoice About The Future
Where We Will Rejoice In Peace With Jesus In The Kingdom Forever

     Don't worry about the future. Rejoice because the future is looking pretty good for christians with Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God. And 2 Peter 1:4 promises Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

     Don't worry about the future. Rejoice about the future because today and billions of years from now saved saints will always be running and leaping for joy down the kingdom of God's street of gold that is transparent glass pictured above worshipping the Lord Jesus where there will be no night, no death, no sorrow, no crying, no pain, and no devil; There will always be joy, peace, and happiness forever. Revelation 21:4 promises And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. 

     Get your eyes off your troubles and worries in this world. By faith obey Colossians 3:2 and Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Remember 2 Corinthians 4:18 says While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. And according to 1 Peter 1:8 when you rejoice in the unseen eternal promises of heaven, note the following promise. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. 


Stop Worrying And Sing Saved By Grace By Fanny Crosby

     Fanny Crosby wrote the hymn Saved By Grace to help people stop worrying. Fanny Crosby was a blessed christian who was blind and wrote 9000 hymns (Blessed Assurance, To God Be The Glory, and Near The Cross are some of Fanny's blessed hymns); Fanny would visit Jerry McCauley's mission in New York City and comfort homeless people by singing her blessed hymns. While attending a DL Moody revival meeting, when they asked Fanny Crosby why she wrote Saved By Grace, Fanny gave the following testimony. Fanny said, One hymn I wrote called Saved By Grace has never been published; I call it my souls poem. Sometimes when I'm troubled to remove worry, I repeat it to myself for it brings comfort to my soul. I pray in Jesus name that anyone who sings the blessed words below of Saved By Grace will overcome all their worries and troubles in this world. Jesus bless you all.

Some day the silver cord will break; And I no more as now shall sing
But Oh the joy when I shall wake; Within the palace of the King

And I shall see Him face to face; And tell the story saved by grace
And I shall see Him face to face; And tell the story saved by grace

Some day my earthly house will fall; I cannot tell how soon twill be
But this I know my All in All; Has now a place in heaven for me

Some day when fades the golden sun; Beneath the rosy tinted west
My blessed Lord will say well done; And I shall enter into rest

Some day till then I watch and wait; My lamp all trimmed and burning bright
That when my Saviour opes the gate; My soul to Him may take its flight

     I pray this bible study in Jesus name removes worry from anyone who reads it. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068, (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

All About Heaven

 


It's Wrong To Say You're So Heavenly Minded
That You're No Earthly Good

We Should Say If You're So Heavenly Minded
You'll Be Earthly Good

Unfortunately Most People Are So Worldly Minded
That They Are No Heavenly Good

     This message is all about heaven. Whenever you hear anyone say you're so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good, reply I'm going to be more heavenly minded so I can be earthly good. I don't want to be so worldly minded where I am no heavenly good. A preacher once told Brother Bob that he talks too much about Jesus. I replied Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment while I leaped for joy at the nearest Walmart restroom. The bible tells us to be heavenly minded (not worldly minded) to become better people for our Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:2 says Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ.

     The bible tells us that saints are earnestly desiring to be in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:2 says For in this (body) we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. In fact all creation is earnestly desiring to enter heaven. Romans 8:22 says For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body. Be like Paul and desire heavenly joy who said at Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.



By Faith Rejoice About The Third Heaven That Can Not Be Seen

     The bible tells us that there are three heavens pictured above. The first heaven we can see by day where the birds fly in the sky. The second heaven we can see by night with the stars and planets in the milky way galaxy. But you need faith to see the third heaven where all the saved saints will live eternally in peace with Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 promises us by faith that after salvation we are sitting together with the saints in heavenly places. The blessed scripture says And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Right now choose to get saved and escape the troubles of this world with the promise of eternal peace in heaven. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     The picture above of a little boy flying a kite explains how to have faith that a third heaven exists. One day a little boy was flying a kite that disappeared above the clouds. His friend said I don't see a kite. How do you know that the kite is still up there? The little boy replied "Once in a while I feel a little tug and I know it's up there". Like this little boy, even though you can't see the third heaven, once in a while you'll feel a little tug by faith and know it's up there somewhere. 


And sing the lyrics below for In The Sweet By And By

To help you see the third heaven by faith
Remember There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar

There's a land that is fairer than day; And by faith we can see it afar
For the Father waits over the way; To prepare us a dwelling place there

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall sing on that beautiful shore; The melodious songs of the blest
And our spirits shall sorrow no more; Not a sigh for the blessing of rest

To our bountiful Father above; We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love; And the blessings that hallow our days. 



Instead of shouting and rejoicing when Johnny Olson 
Says Come On Down On The Price Is Right

Shout And Rejoice Always Because Soon 
Jesus is Going To Tell All Saved Saints Come Up Hither

     People on the game show the Price Is Right shout and go crazy when Johnny Olson says Come On Down. But saints should always shout and rejoice because soon Jesus is going to call all saints by name saying Come Up Hither. I'm not going down friend; I'm shouting, rejoicing, and leaping for joy because I'm going up soon to be with Jesus in peace forever. The outlooks bad, the downlooks worse, but the uplook is looking pretty good. And if you have the right outlook and witness and win souls to Jesus, you'll have the right uplook and rejoice about getting caught up to be with Jesus in peace forever. Remember Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. I'm not looking for the undertaker; I'm looking for the uppertaker. I'm not looking for a hole in the ground; I'm looking for a hole in the sky. And I'm not looking for a sign; I'm listening for a sound. 

     Some people get offended when saints shout for Jesus. These people say at our church we don't shout because we believe in being dignified. Tell these people correction you believe in being petrified. But these same people who get offended when you shout for Jesus will go to a ballgame and scream for hours. They'll act like commanche indians and scream at the ballpark but come to church and sit quietly like wooden indians. I tell people who shout praises to Jesus to shout louder. The bible tells us to shout and make a loud noise of praise for Jesus. Psalm 98:4 says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. In fact the bible says that we should for ever shout for joy about Jesus. Psalm 5:11 says But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous, with favour will thou compass him as with a shield. 



Saints Should Rejoice About Heaven
Because After Salvation Saints Are Citizens Of Heaven
We Are Just Strangers And Pilgrims On This Earth
Longing To Be In Heaven With Our Fellowcitizen Saints

     Saints should rejoice and talk about heaven. This world is not our home; We're just strangers and pilgrims passing through looking for our better heavenly home. Hebrews 11:13 tells us that saints in the past all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off and were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  But rejoice and say Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God.

Rejoice And Sing The Words Below For This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home; I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue

The angels beckon me from heavens open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heavens not my home then Lord what will I do

They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go

I know He'll take me through though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

I have a loving mother just up in Gloryland
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand

The angels beckon me from heavens open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory

Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore


Rejoice About The Praise Heard In Heaven Recorded At Revelation 19:1-6

     Rejoice about the praise heard in heaven recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Revelation 1:3 promises a blessing to all that read, say, or hear the praise recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Soon all the saints of heaven will join in this glorious praise to Jesus in heaven. The glorious praise reads And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying Alleluia, salvation, and glory, and honour, and power unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are His judgments for He hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne saying Amen Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne saying Praise our God all ye his servants and ye that fear Him both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many waters and as the voice of mighty thunderings saying Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 

     When we get to heaven how glorious it will be to hear millions upon millions of saints in the heavenly choir loudly praising our Lord Jesus with innumerable angels. Hebrews 12:22 describes heaven saying But ye are come unto Mount Sion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn which are written in heaven and to God the judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect. 

     And according to John 14:2 we should be rejoicing about the promised mansions according to the KJV bible (not dinky rooms stated by the false translated bibles) that we will receive in heaven. Jesus told us at John 14:2 In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you; I go to prepare a place for you. Friend if you are saved, you should rejoice about your mansion that you will receive soon on Glory Boulevard in heaven. We're going to move from poor houses on this earth to mansions in the sky that are going to be greater and more extravagant than the Taj Mahal or the White House. 

     Remember after anyone leaves this earth where our lives are just a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away (James 4:14), they'll spend eternity forever in either heaven or hell. Whatever anyone does with Jesus on this earth determines where they will spend eternity. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Deny Jesus and go to hell. There is no middle ground purgatory where prayers and money can get someone out of purgatory to enter heaven. Purgatory is a man made place created for self righteous people trying to pay for their own sins. Remember faith only in the blood of Jesus (the price paid by Jesus at the cross for our sins) can redeem us and free us from our sins. Therefore it's either heaven or hell, turn or burn, up or down, in or out. You make the choice and I pray in Jesus name that you choose heaven with Jesus and eternal life with peace. 


The Most Important Reason Saved Saints Want To Go To Heaven Is
To See Jesus

     The most important reason saved saints want to go to heaven is to see Jesus. Soon all the saints will rejoice like John and say John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Truly the best thing about heaven is seeing Jesus. Jesus who is the Way, Truth, Life, and Light will be our Tree of Life and Light that is seven times brighter than the sun with no dark night forever. 

     Fanny Crosby wrote a hymn telling us that Jesus should be first of all and the most important person to see in heaven. Fanny Crosby was a great woman of God who was blind and wrote 9000 blessed hymns. Fanny who lived 95 years from 1820-1915 would always help Jerry McCauley at a mission in New York City for homeless people and daily sung her hymns to everyone at the mission. I'm looking forward to meeting Peter, Paul, Moses, Matthew, Hosea, Obadiah, Bartholemew, Daniel, Solomon, David, DL Moody, George Whitfield, George Muller, and John Wesley in heaven. But as Fanny's song proclaims, Jesus is the best person I want to meet in heaven.

After Fanny Crosby Was Asked How She Would Recognize Jesus In Heaven
Fanny Wrote The Words Below For The Blessed Hymn My Savior First Of All
And Rejoice While You Sing The Blessed Words Below

When my life work is ended and I cross the swelling tide
When the bright and glorious morning I shall see

I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side
And His smile will be the first to welcome me

I shall know Him, I shall know Him
And redeemed by His side I shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the print of the nails in His hand

Oh the soul thrilling rapture when I see His blessed face
And the luster of His kindly beaming eye

How my heart will praise Him for the mercy love and grace
That prepared for me a mansion in the sky

Oh the dear ones in glory how they beckon me to come
And our parting at the river I recall

To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home
But I long to meet my Savior first of all

Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white
He will lead me where no tears will ever fall

In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight
But I long to meet my Savior first of all

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses people all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength.
