Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I feel stressed out."
Stress is a powerful mindset that we are going to dismantle. It is a collection of thoughts or fears that bear down on your mind until they penetrate you and control your emotions, your health, and your relationships.
The real enemy is thinking that you have to get rid of the enemy. Psalm 23:5 says that He prepares a table (celebration) in the presence of your enemies. Begin to celebrate and praise God in the midst of the pressure, problem, or bad news. That’s when the enemy loses its power.
(Colossians 1:27) Peace comes from the presence of God, not the absence of problems. Meditate on the fact that God’s presence is in you and with you. Jesus said "I am with you always."
In 2 Corinthians 4:6–8, Paul said, "We are troubled on every side, but not stressed." Why? Because he knew he had a treasure inside, the power to speak God’s Word, and the ability to change the situation.
BE CERTAIN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT
You are seated with Christ in heavenly places—Ephesians 2:1-6. Live life from above—from God’s perspective. You’re above ONLY and not underneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. Your fight is simply to believe that. That’s when stress leaves.
THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!
I am free from the power of stress. I don't have to get rid of all my problems to get rid of stress. I have a table in the presence of my enemies. They have NO power over me.
The Prince of Peace lives in me. I am certain I will make it. I am going to the other side. The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. My treasure is greater than my trouble, and I am above stress and not underneath it, in Jesus' Name!
