QUID ME ANXIUS SUM? (WHAT ME WORRY?)

QUID ME ANXIUS SUM? (WHAT ME WORRY?)

DOC LYNCH

Thank you Alfred E. Neuman. You were probably the first one who injected into the soft gray matter of an impressionable young boy, who spent way too much time reading comics and “Mad Magazine”, the concept of not being anxious or worried about the issues of life. Many a day in grade school, as I knelt in the cloak closet with my head between my knees waiting for the “all clear” siren, the vague notion of not worrying was superseded by the specter of the Russians nuking me into oblivion. Perhaps you knew Jesus? What, me worry?

I appreciate the sentiment Al. You might not have been worried, but I was.

I worried about everything. Mostly I worried about death. Next, as I got older, it was not having enough money. The pecking order proceeded from there, but there was never a shortage of things to worry about.

This year marked the 39th anniversary of me stopping worrying (along with being delivered from drugs and it’s plethora of associated anxieties). Woo-hoo!

It was the day I met Jesus. The most important part of that experience was knowing that I was forgiven and the assurance of heaven if I should die. Little did I realize back then just how much of Heaven I was getting.

Not worrying was just one of the many side benefits of knowing Jesus. My addictions were instantly healed. The guilt I was harboring from my 33 years of living terribly was assuaged. The runway really was cleared from any necessity to worry.

Matthew 6:31 (AMP) – “Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?”

May I extend that a bit, because the verse is surely designed to go past those examples.

Or … How the future gas prices will affect me? Am I going to be able to feed my family with the skyrocketing food prices? How will I meet the deducitible for our health insurance? Make my mortgage payment…light bill…internet …phone………………………..Is ISIS coming?

No doubt here friends, things are shaky in the world. The demon spirit of mass murder is here. Remind me someday to tell you of a deliverance session I was a part of many years ago which cast out a spirit of murder from a person. We need that on a grand scale today.

So…”What? Me worry?” No not me. I refuse. I intend to believe Jesus. I intend to live, instruct, teach, and preach to anyone who will listen exactly what Jesus taught me.

He told me not to live like the heathen and the sinner and the unbeliever, who are all twisted up in knots, and rather than looking toward heaven in praise and adoration to the One who has the answers, instead raise a cacophony of wailing and moaning about their own anxieties, fears, and desperation. A choir of death. You know about it if I am describing YOU today.

Instead He says to me, from verse 33 “But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.”

Let me tell you something. Here is what I believe. There WILL BE gas in my car. There WILL BE oil to heat my home. There WILL BE food in my cupboard. There WILL BE clothes on my back. There WILL BE water in my faucets. There WILL BE an Angelic Early Warning System on patrol.

Don’t roll your eyes unless you know EXACTLY what I speak. When you spend the time in the Word and have spoken to Jesus and have received from Angels and have seen the very face of Evil, then if you want to roll your eyes because of the false assumption that it “didn’t work for you”, have at it.

Why me? Why am I so special? Because I have the favor of living in the house of a King! My Father knows how to take care of His children. In my Father’s house there is no lack! Who’s house are you living in? You are special too. You just have to believe it.

Our life here on earth is and should be AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!

Oh Lord, in what is now desperate times for the world, calm the hearts of those who forget that in this world there will be tribulation and trials, but that You have OVERCOME the world, and we are OVERCOMERS with you! We are in the King’s Dominion!

I declare my space and my sphere of influence a “fear free zone”. I declare that those who come within my “space” will be immediately engulfed with peace and joy and praise and worship and healing and deliverance, and an unshakeable resistance to the gates of hell!

Yes indeed! On earth as it is in Heaven!

This is where REVIVAL begins!
