Kingdom People have defeated anxiety
Here are two major reasons, all Kingdom people defeat anxiety:
- Anxiety is mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Anxiety is just pretty sounding word for unbelief, and fearful. It is another way of making an ugly sin, sound acceptable.
- Anxiety is fear and the fearful, and unbelieving… along with all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death, Revelation 21:8. Every time you hear someone say, I’m filled with anxiety, what they are really saying is, I am filled with fear and unbelief.
Three million Israelis marched in circles for 40 years, in the wilderness, filled with anxiety. You could say they all died of anxiety. Smooth sounding words have taken the seriousness out of sin so there is nothing to be concerned about, that is until judgment time!
Go ahead, call a baby a fetus, and murder abortion! Call fear, worry and unbelief, anxiety, if these words make you sleep better. But you should know that in the Kingdom we use different words, like abomination, Luke 16:15, murderer, 1 John 3:15 and reprobate, Romans 1:28. Words that politically correct people hate, like fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, Romans 1:29-31.
In the Kingdom, we don’t play with or mince words.
No one will need a dictionary to find a root meaning of anything the Judge of all the earth says! On that day, everyone will clearly understand “the judgment of My Father, that they which commit such things are worthy of another bad word, DEATH, and not just the ones that do these things, but those that take pleasure in watching them that do them,” Romans 1:29-32.
So please don’t make the mistake of using the word anxiety and try to treat it with medicine!
Call it what it is, fear and unbelief! The only cure for fear is understanding My perfect love for you because, “there is no anxiety in love; but perfect love casts out anxiety: because anxiety has torment. He that suffers from anxiety is not made perfect in love,” 1 John 4:18.
Return to your first love and your anxiety will be defeated!

Setting one’s heart on earthly things instead of focusing on the eternal and heavenly things of God is the main cause of anxiety. Jesus said all those weary of trying to accomplish things themselves could come and receive rest from Him (Mat 11:28). “Apart from Him we can do nothing” should be a good reminder of how vain our self-effort can be. Troubles and persecution mold us into His image and likeness. They have a purpose. Trust in God to take you through them, die daily to the flesh and take up your cross and follow Him. He is awesome in power and glory and we are all being prepared to partake in Kingdom blessings forever more. Amen.
