The Increase Life

What if you simply stopped carrying the weight?

The Bible doesn't tell you to manage your worries, carry them better, or learn how to live under the pressure.

It tells you to CAST THEM ON GOD.

In Day 3 of Worry Free Living, we're looking at Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 and learning what it actually means to release the weight of your worries, cares, anxieties, and burdens onto God.

IN THIS TEACHING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• What it actually means to cast your burden on the Lord • How to release the weight of worry • What God's promise to "sustain you" means • Why holding onto your worries can become self-dependence • How worry affects the decisions you make • The difference between playing to win and playing not to lose • How to recognize worry thoughts before they take root • A practical way to take your thoughts captive • How to replace fearful thoughts with God's Word

Psalm 55:22 says:

"Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved."

God never intended for you to carry everything yourself.

When you release the weight of your burdens onto Him, you can trust Him to sustain you, provide for you, guide you, and show you what to do next.

Think about this:

Where would you be today if you hadn't worried about anything for the last 365 days?

At the very least, you'd probably still be where you are right now, except you would have enjoyed the last year a whole lot more.

And what decisions might you have made differently if they had come from faith instead of fear?

Worry makes you play defense.

Faith allows you to move forward.

Worry thoughts may come, but you don't have to receive them. Take the thought captive. Stop the negative mental movie. Replace it with God's Word.

Release the weight of it.

Let God sustain you.

What do you do when a worried thought suddenly hits your mind?

"What are you going to do?"

"How are you going to pay for this?"

"What if this gets worse?"

That's where the battle starts.

In Day 2 of Worry Free Living, Travis shares what happened when a major leak appeared in his ceiling on the very first day of his 45-Day Worry Fast, and how he handled a real problem without allowing worry to take over his thought life.

IN THIS TEACHING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• How worry begins with a thought • How to recognize the enemy's pattern before worry takes over • Why you shouldn't let negative "mental movies" keep playing • How to take thoughts captive and make them obey Christ • How to replace worried thoughts with God's promises • What Isaiah 26:3 teaches about living in perfect and constant peace • Why keeping your mind fixed on God changes how you respond to problems • How to ask God for your part instead of trying to figure everything out yourself

The goal isn't to live a life where nothing ever goes wrong.

Things happen.

Bills show up. Things break. Bad reports come. Unexpected problems arise.

The question is: What are you going to do with the thoughts that come with them?

You don't have to entertain every thought that enters your mind.

When worry starts trying to play out the worst-case scenario, STOP THE MENTAL MOVIE.

Take the thought captive.

Refuse to worry.

Find the promise in God's Word that overrides the fear, speak it out loud, keep your mind fixed on Him, and ask the Lord:

"What's my part to play?"

Isaiah 26:3 says:

"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."

You can deal with real problems without allowing worry to control your mind.

Don't touch it in your mind.

• The difference between work and toil • Why working with worry doesn't increase the blessing on your life • What 1 Peter 5 really teaches about worry, humility, pride, and grace • Why casting your cares on God is an act of humility • How self-dependence can keep you trapped in worry • Why the enemy is ultimately fighting for your trust • How to work from faith, rest, and dependence on God • How to start living a worry-free life

You were created to work, but you weren't created to work with worry.

There's a better way.

Instead of carrying the pressure yourself, you can cast your cares on God, trust Him as your source, listen for His direction, and do what He tells you to do.

That's what we're practicing during this 45-Day Worry Fast.

In this Bible teaching, Travis Peters walks line by line through Psalm 37 and shows you how to stop worrying, trust God, and rest while expecting Him to answer.

The Bible doesn't just tell you, "Don't worry." It shows you what to do instead.

Psalm 37 tells us to trust in the Lord, feed on His faithfulness, delight ourselves in Him, commit our way to Him, rest in Him, and expect Him to answer.

One of the most practical things you can do when worry or anxiety starts is feed on God's faithfulness.

Remember the times God has already provided for you. Remember the prayers He's answered. Remember when He gave you wisdom, opened a door, met a financial need, brought healing, or showed you exactly what to do.

As you remember God's faithfulness, you're building your confidence that the same God who came through before will be faithful again.

You'll learn:

• What it actually means to trust God • Why worry reveals where your trust is • How to feed on God's faithfulness • How to stop playing worst-case scenarios in your mind • What it means to commit your way to the Lord • How to rest in God instead of trying to figure everything out yourself • How to expect God to give you an answer • Why Psalm 37 says worry only causes harm

One of the biggest keys in this teaching is simple:

You don't need to formulate the plan. You need to hear His plan.

Rest in the Lord. Expect Him to answer. Then follow the instructions He gives you.

If worry, fear, anxiety, financial pressure, or uncertainty has been controlling your thoughts, get your Bible and study Psalm 37:3-11 with us.

And if you want help putting this into practice, we're currently doing a 45-Day Worry Fast inside Increase Academy, with practical Bible teaching designed to show you what to do when worry comes.

In this Bible teaching, Travis Peters continues through 2 Peter 1 and breaks down the qualities Peter tells believers to actively develop as they grow spiritually.

One of those qualities is perseverance, or steadfast endurance.

Biblical perseverance isn't sitting around waiting for something to change. It's remaining steadfast under pressure. It's refusing to abandon your position just because things become difficult.

Sometimes Christians encounter an obstacle and immediately think, Maybe God is telling me to stop.

But difficulty by itself doesn't mean you missed God.

In this teaching, you'll learn how to develop spiritual grit, recognize thoughts that try to get you to quit, become stronger under pressure, and continue moving forward in what God has called you to do.

You'll also discover what Peter teaches about:

• Perseverance and steadfastness • Godliness and living a Christ-centered life • Brotherly kindness and genuinely caring for others • Agape love and putting the good of others before yourself • Becoming useful and productive in your knowledge of Christ • Developing spiritually so that you do not stumble

Peter doesn't simply tell believers to possess these qualities. He tells us to make every effort to develop in them.

And there's an incredible promise attached to that growth: as these qualities increase in you, you become useful and productive in your knowledge of Jesus Christ, and Peter says that actively developing these virtues will keep you from stumbling.

If you've been tempted to quit, wondering whether resistance means you missed God, or simply want to become a stronger and more mature Christian, get your Bible out and study through 2 Peter 1:2-11 with us.

Keep going. Keep growing. Keep helping people win.

In this Bible teaching, Travis Peters walks through 2 Peter 1 and shows you the specific qualities Peter says believers should actively develop in their lives.

God has already given you everything you need for life and godliness. He has also given you exceedingly great and precious promises so that you can partake of His divine nature. But Peter doesn't stop there. He tells believers to give all diligence to growing and developing spiritually.

You'll learn how to develop:

• Moral excellence • Knowledge and understanding • Self-control • Steadfastness and perseverance • Godliness • Brotherly affection • Agape love

These aren't qualities you simply ask God to magically develop for you. Peter tells us to make every effort to grow in them.

And the promise attached to this is powerful.

According to 2 Peter 1, as these qualities increase in you, they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in your knowledge of Jesus Christ. Peter then says that if you actively develop in these things, you will never stumble.

If you want to become stronger in your faith, understand God's Word at a deeper level, grow in spiritual maturity, and become more useful and productive for God's Kingdom, this Bible study will give you practical areas you can begin developing today.

Don't just listen to the Word. Take what you learn and put it into practice.

One of the biggest mistakes Christians can make is waiting for God to do something He has already instructed us to do.

Peter says to "give all diligence" and add these qualities to your faith. That means spiritual growth isn't passive. We have a responsibility to develop, grow, practice, and put God's Word to work in our lives.

In this teaching, you'll discover:

• What the Greek word for faith, pistis, actually means • What it means to add virtue and moral excellence to your faith • Why Christians should continually grow in knowledge and understanding • The biblical meaning of self-control and self-mastery • Why you should stop saying, "I can't help it" • How to develop discipline in practical, everyday situations • Why the world sometimes gets results from biblical principles while Christians only pray about them • How developing these qualities can make you useful and productive for God • The incredible promise Peter gives believers who consistently practice these things

Self-control means you don't have to be ruled by every feeling, appetite, distraction, temptation, or impulse that comes your way.

You can give yourself a command and follow it.

And according to 2 Peter 1, as these qualities are developed and increasing in your life, you become useful and productive, grow toward spiritual maturity, and position yourself to never stumble.

God has given you His Word, His Spirit, and His power. Now it's time to put His instructions into practice.

ABOUT THIS TEACHING

This teaching walks through James 1:5-8 in the Amplified Bible, along with Isaiah 55:11 and Psalm 107:20. The starting point is simple: God's word never comes back empty. It accomplishes the thing He sent it to do. It heals, it delivers, and it sets people free, including a man who carried guilt and shame for over twenty years and walked out from under it in a single class.

From there the call gets practical. James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom for a decision or a circumstance, ask God, and He gives generously, without rebuke or blame. No performance requirement. No thirty day clean streak. Trav walks through the time he asked God for a word over his daughter's medical testing and heard a phrase he had never used in his life, then went and found it sitting in Isaiah 61. The fear left the moment the word arrived.

Then comes verse six, the warning about doubt. A double minded man keeps one foot in the spiritual and one foot in his own reasoning, and Scripture says he should not expect to receive anything. That shows up most often in health and in finances, and it usually does not sound like unbelief. It sounds like "I know God is my healer, but." Taught live on the Increase Life Bible Study.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Why God's word always accomplishes what He sent it to do How to ask God for a word to stand on, and how to test it against Scripture Why fear and worry get disguised as love and concern What James 1:5 actually promises about wisdom and who qualifies for it What double mindedness looks like in real life, especially with health and money Why you never have to get yourself right before you ask God for help How to go to the doctor and keep your faith in God at the same time

ABOUT THIS TEACHING

Most believers never stop to think about what they are thinking about. That is exactly what the enemy is counting on. If he can dominate your thought life with fear, worry, and what if it doesn't work, he does not have to do anything else. Your beliefs follow your thoughts, your words follow your beliefs, and your actions follow your words. He gets the outcome he wanted without ever touching your circumstances.

In this teaching we walk through 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Romans 12:2 in the New Living Translation, then open Matthew 6:25-34, John 14:26-27, and John 16:33 in the Amplified. Jesus gave a direct instruction: stop being worried and anxious saying what will we eat, what will we drink, how are we going to make it. That is a command, which means you have the ability to carry it out. You have power, love, and a sound and well disciplined mind, and you can answer every fear thought the same way Jesus answered Satan. It is written.

Taught live on the morning call inside the Increase Academy, where we get in the Word together before the day starts.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

- Why your dominating thoughts set the direction of your life

- How one negative thought stair steps into a full spiral

- How to catch a thought and make it obey Christ

- The scriptures that shut down fear about money, health, and the future

- Why healing is always God's will, and what Mark 6 actually says

- What Jesus meant by take no thought saying

- How to answer what if it doesn't work with what if it does
