Influence what a person believes,
|
The power and influence of the educational system and the place of entertainment in our modern society are greatly underestimated. |
In this second example, we find the opposite true. Here we find Jesus affirming Peter Simon for his words. They showed that God had been speaking to Peter. Peter heard this from God and spoke it forth.
Principle
Our words and actions reveal what we believe. By examining our words and actions we can go back and with practice and help of the Holy Spirit detect our wrong beliefs. It is mandatory that we expose the lies that have been somehow planted in our minds.
Eve believed what the serpent told her even though it went against what God said. This is because it sounded better. God reproved her for eating the forbidden fruit. Our actions speaks volumes.
Worry reveals something has gone wrong in our belief about God. We have at some point devoured a set of lies. Some of these lies have been buried in our lives for many years but never detected. If you spot anxiety in your life, though, you can be sure you are missing out on seeing some wonderful way that God is caring for your life. You simply don't trust Him and therefore do not have His peace.
If you worry, you need to go back and examine what you really believe and what falsehood led you to that point. Influence what a person believes, and one can have control over that person.
Take a moment. Write down any wrong actions or anxieties that you need God to deal with. Don't be overly concerned with how to deal with them. At this point, just express your desire that God would deal with it.
