Worry and fear are sins and won’t help you handle adversity. "Do not be anxious for your life" (Matt 6:25). This is a mandate from God. Worry is self-centered emotionally driven fear. Faith is the absence of fear. “In God I will put my trust and I will not be afraid of what man can do to me” (Ps 56:11). Faith, is you claiming God’s promises. Without faith-rest, you will have stress in your life. If you orient to God’s will and plan for your life then you will focus on how God uses adversity in your life. Wake up and realize that without Christ you have no control over your existence. “Many are the plans in man’s heart but it is the Lord’s purpose that always prevails” (Prov 19:21).

Emotions are an enemy of the Christian. God gives you mentality. You don’t have to let your emotions control your life. Emotions react. Thinking responds. You have a choice. Controlling your emotions is a wonderful thing. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Humility is required to be successful in life. Arrogant people never have it. They are full of self-justification and this is very dangerous because it leads to self-deception. It is critical you understand the plan of God and it starts with “We have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor 2:16).

Many hear the Word of God but never apply it. “Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only” (James 1:22). Being a hearer only means you fail to metabolize what you hear. You’ll lose the blessing of God when you hear and don’t apply truth and you’ll never establish a FLOT line in your soul. The doer of the Word of God replaces human viewpoint with divine viewpoint thinking. The Word of God is streaming in his mentality like a river flowing through his soul and he can easily recall and apply it in his life. Being a doer of the Word starts with what you think. “A doer of the Word will be blessed in what he does” (James 1:25). Analyze yourself from the objectivity of the Word of God that you’ve heard, learned, metabolized and stored in your soul.

What think ye of Christ? To believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal Savior is the greatest decision you could ever make. You don’t have any guarantee you will be alive tomorrow so don’t delay another minute if you haven’t his most important decision on where you will spend eternity—heaven or the Lake of Fire. God has a process for living the Christian way of life and you need to learn the process. You will have shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ if you do right things in the wrong way and if you misrepresent Jesus Christ to the world. “So that when He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him” (1 John 2:28). The key is staying filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have unconfessed sin in your life you are producing human good. God can’t allow human good in heaven. Without the filling of the Holy Spirit, you can’t glorify God.

You cannot give to God what you do not have. You cannot worship God unless you come through the Lord Jesus Christ and are filled with the Holy Spirit. “For there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5). “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). True worship comes from what you have learned about Him as taught accurately from the truth of His Word, the Bible. Worship is based on thought, not emotion. This is a warning about not understanding God and His mandates. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6).

Satan wants to lead you away from God’s plan, distract you from the Word of God, and make you think you’re doing wonderful things for God because you’re busy at work in the energy of the flesh. If you are in carnality (unconfessed sins in your life) thinking with a human viewpoint instead of a divine one, you are vulnerable to Satan’s leading. How do you know if Satan is trying to lead you? You will be tempted to ignore divine precedents of the Christian life; compromise your core beliefs (found in the Bible); justify yourself; fulfill your lusts; or seek revenge. “Do not be unwise but understand what is the will of the Lord” (Eph 5:17).

Satan and his system of evil will tempt you to ignore the divine precedence of the Christian way of life which is learning and using God’s problem-solving devices. As our Lord Jesus Christ did, you need to counter the temptations by staying filled with the Holy Spirit and using the Word of God. As God-man, Christ didn’t do anything you can’t do. He used the unique divine resources God the Father gave him. There is a place God wants you to be (where you can grow and serve Him). There is something He wants you to think (with the mind of Christ). There is something He wants you to do (to glorify Him). When you grow in grace and knowledge you will glorify God to the maximum and be a weapon in the angelic conflict. Or you can do it your way, not God’s way, and be lion bait. “Satan goes around like a lion seeking who he can devour” (1 Pet 5:8).

With the filling of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God in your soul, you can defeat Satan. But without it, you’re powerless. The Holy Spirit is the engine and the Word of God is the fuel He uses to power the engine. The Lord may give you evidence testing before you get to heaven. God will call you to the witness stand and you will have to go it alone. As God-man our Lord depended on the Holy Spirit and the power of God’s Word exactly the same way we are to live the Christian life and prepare for Going It Alone. “It is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Deut 8:3). Keep your eyes on the Lord to withstand the lures of Satan’s world.

There will come a time when God asks you to go it alone, in evidence testing. To be prepared for this testing, you must “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior” (2 Pet 3:18). Jesus used the ministry of the Holy Spirit and Scripture to pass His testing, which you need to do also. Jesus Christ cut the template for us to be Christ-like. We can live as He lived in the devil’s world. The Holy Spirit prepared the Lord Jesus Christ for 30 years before He began His public ministry. The greater the impact, the more time is needed to prepare. God will bless you in time and in eternity when you honor Him and His plan. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away” (Matt 24:35).

We all have failures, frustrations, and flaws. Some flaws are inherited and some are acquired. The key is to deal with sin. Confess your sin to God, move on, and don’t look back. “Forgetting those things which are behind me, I reach forward to those things which are ahead” (Phil 3:13). Let go of the past—guilt is a sin. If you are a Christian, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, God will forgive you. If you fail to adhere to God’s protocol and procedures and go off down the My Way Highway it’s inevitable you’ll have problems in your life and you’ll miss the plan of God for your life. Failing spiritually means not advancing, not growing. Live the spiritual life and you can overcome the past. “Happiness belongs to those people who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:27-28).
