jesus name tonight give honor to pastor myers bishop myers thank you for the opportunity to preach to the people and i feel a word from the lord book of philippians chapter 4 verses 6 through 9 philippians chapter 4 verses 6 through 9 a popular text that most of you probably already know but i'll read it to you in case you don't the bible said philippians 4 verse 6 be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto god the peace of god which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through christ jesus finally brethren whatsoever things are true what sort of things are honest whatsoever things are just what sort of things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things are of good rapport if there be any virtue and if there be any praise think on these things those things which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me do and the god of peace shall be with you i want to preach to you tonight from the subject and antidote for anxiety and then to do it for anxiety lord jesus have your way tonight through this to this broadcast use me for your glory i pray you get me in every house every family every situation and preach through me god to them let no one hear me see me or feel me let them hear you see you and feel you tonight in jesus name i pray somebody's sitting man any time a lot of times that you say in the word of god when you see the word fear uh you can just take it to the bank that most of the time that word fear means anxiety i know that a lot of people think i don't struggle with fear i just have anxiety or i just have a lot of stress and unfortunately fear is anxiety and anxiety is fear and we know that god has not given us the spirit of fear but of power love and of a sound mind so we understand that but but anxiety is something that sometimes we take ownership of it that's just my anxiety acting up that's just that my stress that i deal with that's just the stuff i worry about that's just the stuff i panic about it's the plan of satan for you to constantly worry and to constantly be afraid and constantly see the negative in the situation or the possible outcome that could be bad is that it is the will of the enemy jesus said take no thought for the moral he said if the lilies aren't worried about how they spin if the birds aren't worried about where they're getting their food then you shouldn't worry about how you're going to eat or how you're going to be clothed the son of man is going to take care of that and i know that we we know those verses but yet sometimes we forget that when we're dealing with anxiety the reason why i'm saying all this is because the bible says in in philippians 4 be careful for nothing in the greek that is be anxious for nothing or for anyone in other words he's saying don't have anxiety about anything or about anybody now it's very difficult easier said than done because we all have time for we tend to worry when we're in the flesh rather than being in the spirit but but paul is saying it's not the will of god that you have anxiety about anything here's how you defeat anxiety i'm going to give you a formula uh how to defeat anxiety and then we're going to go into the word and go deep and see a lot of great things tonight in jesus name so first of all he said but in everything by prayer prayer is conversing with god you talking to god and god talking to you so what does that mean you cannot defeat anxiety silently that's what he's saying you cannot defeat anxiety thinking your way into victory he said be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer so as soon as the anxiety starts hitting you need to start talking to god i wish i could preach that to you all night long when as soon as the enemy or the fear or the worry starts coming that's the signal you need to start speaking to god that's what he said but in everything by prayer don't think you're foolish if you pray about everything if you say lord do i go left do i go right do i respond to this text do i ignore it this that's that's not crazy that is being led by the spirit and god and paul said do everything by prayer and then supplication and this is where it gets fun supplication is the aces in the greek which is needs and i've preached several messages about the voice of your supplications david talked about that in psalms a lot about the voice of the need and so a lot of times i think i have viewed supplication as you talking to god about the need and asking god for the answer but according to this there's another there's another time to let your request be known so supplication is not so much asking god for the answer as much as it is informing god of the need i hope i'm making sense right now so what he's saying is start by talking to god and then start talking to god about the problem he's not saying ask god for the direction ask god for help ask god for the money ask god for the peace ask god for the breakthrough he's saying talk to me and then talk to me about it tell me the severity of it i know he knows everything but he wants to hear from you the problem in your uh in your view of it how you see it and so your supplication is you informing god what he already knows but yet you're letting him know it's kind of like the disciples in the storm he would have passed them by had they knocked right out he saw the need but he wanted them to give their need a voice and so they started crying out hey we're in trouble we're in danger and so that's what he said here but everything by prayer and supplication now my human mind thinks pastor myers that after supplication it's time to request because you've prayed you talked to god now you're talking to god about the subject that you that you're worried about so now it's time to ask him what are you going to do about it are you going to come through what's the open door what's the answer what's the solution what do i do but yet that's not what paul said paul said do everything by prayer and supplication ready for this with thanksgiving in other words it's not prayer and supplication and thanksgiving it's prayer and supplication with thanksgiving because paul knew that supplication does not normally lead you into thanksgiving it leads you into requesting so paul said you're gonna have to add an ingredient to the formula that doesn't make sense well i feel my help coming it doesn't make sense at all why you would start thanking me when you're in the middle of a crisis because the crisis says start requesting help but paul said when you want to request help instead thank me for who i am and for what i've done is there anyone that can understand what i'm saying right now if you will thank him instead of beg him you will ask him later from a position of faith instead of a position of fear you see thanksgiving interrupts the pity party it interrupts the woe is me where are you god and says wait a second he is good he is so good to me yes i've got this need but wow you're amazing so when you start to think like that then you go request the need and when you request the help now you're speaking from a position understanding how great he is instead of how big your problem is why does he do this i'll show you why if you stay in supplication and then go to requesting you ask god from the position of the need you ask god from the position of the situation you look at the need and that's how you pray the circumstance determines the spirit of the prayer but when you tap into thanksgiving you ignore the circumstance and you're focused on him and with you when you're focused on him you speak with more faith because now you realize he's greater than what i was just whining about and so when i go to ask i'm not asking from oh god do you care oh god where are you but i think wow you are able to do exceeding abundantly above all that i can ask or even think so it doesn't make sense in the formula to thank you but remember his ways are above my ways and his thoughts are above your thoughts and so this doesn't make any sense but i'm gonna trust the process of getting the anxiety out somebody ought to start doing this in jesus name you want to let the devil know i'm going to talk to god i'm going to talk to god about it i'm going to thank god for it and i'm going to ask god to come into it that's a formula right there before i even get to the message tonight that's a formula that can help you talk to god prayer talk to god about it supplication thank god for it thanksgiving request god's entrance into it the prayers of the the petition in other words when you start this process of praying in this channel you will tap into a dimension where you see things differently than where you had previously saw them and the words said and the peace of god as soon as you tap into this type of thinking when you pray the peace of god in other words immediately whether you get the outcome that you want or not the peace of god enters into the situation is there anyone that needs peace tonight well let me tell you in the name of the lord jesus christ that there's a plan for you to get peace pray and then supplicate thank him and then requests and the peace of god which passes all understanding you know what that means is it's nonsense peace it's unexplainable it doesn't make sense the bills are due and there's no money in the account but there's peace in your home uh the situation's going crazy the doctors don't know what's going on in your body but there's peace in your spirit uh the marriage could be could go one way could go another way but there's a peace when you pray that it's unexplainable it doesn't look right you know the kid's lost but there's a word in your spirit that says the kid's gonna come back to god it's unexplainable but it's undeniable it's called the peace of god and passes all understanding now i want you to see this because there's a reason why the word understanding is there see the difference between peace and faith for instance faith doesn't need understanding faith is the is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen so faith doesn't understand faith is blind faith just steps out of the bones as i'm i believe god's gonna let me walk on this water that's faith but peace usually comes through understanding if you get enough information about something it can bring peace where you were troubled if you get enough understanding about the situation it can bring you a sense of peace and jesus knew that and paul knew that so he said there's a piece that can come to you that's beyond understanding what you normally need to give you peace is nowhere near what's coming to you in other words the information that you normally need to calm you down there's a piece of god that may not even give you that information but will take over the atmosphere that you live in and consume the atmosphere so that you don't even care to get the information or not i don't need to know what's going to happen i don't need to know how it's gonna happen i don't even know to need to know if it's gonna happen i just know that there's a piece in the room that's gonna take away everything i'm worried about in jesus you know it had the disciples prayed this when they were in the boat with jesus in the storm remember that when they said master we perished and they're talking to him and they're telling about the storm they're doing part of the formula but they stop right there and said help us help us and instead of thanking him they went straight to request him you know what he did he stopped the storm but he said oh yeah little faith he rebuked them what would have happened if they would have said master master it's it's bad we're sinking but you're able because you are bigger than the storm you made heaven and earth and you can stop this storm because you're god almighty would you please stop this storm i don't think they would have got rebuked in fact i would think i think he would have said that this is great faith because it's the process to getting the peace of god he had to rebuke them because they went outside the process to get the peace of god somebody needs to follow the process of peace and understand how it works in the spirit and the peace of god which passes all understanding shall keep uh that word those two words right there are very wrote it down here the peace of god shall keep and that hasn't this is what it means in the greek it means to guard to protect by a military guard to prevent hostile invasion so in other words when peace when the peace of god shows up in your situation it has an assignment it the assignment of the peace of god is to guard it's like a military guard it builds a hedge around you but there are two places the peace of god is assigned to i want you to write this down the peace of god is to keep your heart and your mind now when i read that i obviously thought of the heart and i thought of the brain but and i was right on one i was wrong on the other heart in the greek is cardio and obviously it's the center of the being it's it's the organ that pumps the blood but it's also the core of your being is where it's in the greek but but but minds which i thought would be like the brain is not that in fact the word mind is hymon in the greek and it literally means you and yours in other words the peace of god when it's assigned to you it's a sign to guard the center of your being and it's a sign to guard you and yours anything attached to you anything under your roof anything attached to your family anything attached to your prayer life the peace of god can get assigned to that's why when you have peace it will take over in your finances it will take over in your family your marriage your kids your job your health and you won't even worry about all this stuff because it's the peace of god and it's a sign to keep yours someone needs to receive that word in the name of the lord jesus christ he's here to protect more than just my head more than just my thought life he's here to protect my family in other words it's more than just what's going on in here it's my reality it's the reality of the situation that he is that the peace of god has been sent to cover and to guard but isn't it funny how paul knew how he knew how the human human worked and and he said now i already know and so he said what he starts naming all these virgins whatsoever things are true and honest and just and lovely and pure good rapport and it means all these these wonderful things and he said if there be any virtue if there'd be any praise on these things because the people that deal with anxiety tend to be tend to be thinkers and to always try to figure out what can go wrong and create the most negative outcome of any situation and paul said i know how you think and so i just gave you a formula to get temporary peace but here's how you get permanent peace if you can think of anything to praise him about if you can go back to that thanksgiving you think of anything good to think about do it think about anything that gives him praise why the next verse is so revelatory and the god of peace shall be with you before you ready for this east wind before it was the peace of god but now it's the god of peace there's a difference in the peace of god and the god of peace you see the peace of god is something that it's a product it shows up when you pray the formula when you pray when you supplicate when you thank him and then when you request the peace of god comes in there it's it's a product of the source but the god of peace is the source of the product and so the difference in the assignment is this the peace of god guards you but the god of peace guides you and the god of peace shall be with you in other words when you just pray to get temporary peace it will sure enough come if you do it that way and it will come for the moment but if you can transform your thinking paul said be not conformed this world would be transformed by the renewing of your mind you know what that word renewing is in the greek i'm trying to write this in the book that i'm writing it's literally renovation renovation the renovation of your mind is what causes the transformation what does that mean well usually when someone renovates a home or renovates a building the first phase of renovation is called demolition they have to tear down walls and obstacles that are in the way of the vision that they see oh i feel like preaching to you in other words there has to be something torn down so that their vision can manifest that's what the first step of renovation and it's bringing down you say strongholds that's why paul said to bring down pulling down the strongholds and casting down every wicked thought the imaginations not the things that are evil in your spirit these are the thought-like things and he said these are the things that are strongholds you have to renovate or renew your mind and so if you start to renew your mind and i'm going to think differently if i have to write it down just think this you'll think about peace you will think about goodness you'll think about virtue you'll think about things that are honest and you'll think about praising god he said you won't have the peace of god you'll have the god of peace that there are people that i know that have suffered so much it doesn't make sense when you meet them you would never know that they've been to hell and back you would never know that they've suffered so many things because they're not living a life of that looks like what they've been through but rather the god of peace is with them if you met my mother you would never think that she lost her mom at 19 years old and lost her brother when he was 26 and lost her sister when she was 34 and lost her dad when he was 55 my mom's mom was 47 when she died my mom was 19. so between the age of 19 and 29 my mom lost her mom dad brother sister you would never think that a ten year span someone could go through and they all died sudden deaths and terrible deaths they all died shockingly and suddenly but if you met my mother you would never think that she went through that because there's a joy about her i'll tell you what it is it's the god of peace that can guide you despite what you go through is there anyone that needs to hear that right now i said the god of peace will guide you despite what you go through that's why some of you you don't understand how you're even here you don't even know why you raise your hand how you could you've been through so much people would give you a pass that you should be bitter you should be upset you should be mad you've gone through so much but yet here you are and you're raising your hands right now as i'm preaching and your tears are rolling down your eyes and you've suffered like no one's suffering but you know what you're feeling right now you feel the god of peace in your home there's an atmosphere for the cashier where the god of peace guides it and controls it the peace of god guards it but the god of peace guides it and i want to have both right now in the name of the lord jesus i want to have the god of peace a friend of mine that i mentor in kansas city doesn't make any sense he's he's a young guy on fire and when you meet him you think man this dude's been in church all his life he's just a servant of servants he's a worshiper he's he goes to the altar and soaks the altar every time in tears names durrell darrell green you look at dorael and think man this guy has always been in church he's so hungry for god what you don't know is he had he's been through hell and back no one in his family goes to church except him and he's living for god everything he's got all alone giving it all to god everyone has been away everyone's suffering and gone through terrible things in his family but he's standing there holding on it doesn't make any sense you wouldn't even know it unless you you asked him to tell him his story and the only reason why you would even know that is because he'd have to let you into those details and i tell you something right now it's called the god of peace it's called the god of peace surrounding when you don't look like what you've been through there's been a god of peace somewhere near you i said there's a god of peace somewhere near you there are people that have had to bury children and you wouldn't even understand the people that had to deal with cancers in their body and lose things and suffer things and go through marriages and divorces and people that have lost all kind of money and lost all kind of homes and notoriety in their future and everything was destroyed with no explanation but yet they're there these twins they come to your church and they worship god they suffer along beside you while everything's cute in your life they're over here crying weeping and worshiping god because they know something about the god of peace i want to talk to somebody in the holy ghost in jesus name this morning it's time that the god of peace or tonight excuse the god of peace would come into your home and give you that atmosphere that only he can give you somebody pray with me right now lift up your hands wherever you are in your house get your family near because angels are going to come into your home tonight in the name of the lord jesus christ by the authority of the word of god and by the power of the name of jesus let there be atmospheres and homes right now across that church where angels can come in where the peace of god can take over situations and crisis and where the god of peace can guide these families continually out you know who's suffering you know who's going through what you know who's hurting and i speak by faith in the name of the lord jesus christ tonight that peace is coming and the antidote for anxiety is in the atmosphere and also god the god of peace is in the atmosphere and i speak it in the name of the lord jesus christ right now i speak faith i speak strange i speak answers in jesus name but if you don't give the answers give the peace somebody get a shadrach spirit if he doesn't answer me i'm still gonna trust him somebody get a joke mentality he he may not come through but he's still worthy he's still worthy of all the praise i can give him i may not get what i want but i'm gonna give him everything that i have because he is the god [Music]
