WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE OVERWHELMED
Date Teaching Given: May 5, 2023
Isaiah 5:20
You have the choice to get overwhelmed or lean into and trust in the Lord in all situations.
People fail, but God doesn’t fail. His Word doesn’t fail.
God knows what’s going on. He sees your situation. God has already given you everything you need; He just needs you to receive it. He already sent His Son; you just need to receive what Jesus did and the price He paid.
Believe Him over your circumstances and situations.
Don’t be moved by what you see. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
Matthew 11:28
Go to the Father first, not last.
God sent His Son to die for you.
God doesn’t see you in your failure or defeat. He sees you through Jesus; He sees you through the Blood that Jesus shed.
The enemy tries to use condemnation, guilt, and shame to keep you from the Lord. Don't run away when you sin; instead, run to God.
Every time you turn to God and trust Him, He will show up and give you peace and rest. He will never let you down.
When you focus on God, you will know the difference between God’s truth and Satan's lies.
Go to God in prayer at all times.
The Creator of Heaven and Earth is asking you to go to Him and trust Him.
Matthew 11:29
What does it mean to take Christ’s yoke upon you?
It means to humbly do His Will and allow Him to guide and direct your life.
It means to enter into submission to His Will; to turn over control of your life to Him.
1 Peter 5:7
Give God your cares.
Humble yourself before the Lord.
Holding onto the cares in your life keeps you from doing the Will of God, from receiving victory, and from hearing God’s Words.
The feeling of being overwhelmed, fearful, or anxious comes from Satan.
God’s truth will completely set you free.
God will always help you. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Don’t believe the lies. Instead, lean on God.
God is always victorious.
Christ came from Heaven to live on Earth as a man. He suffered and was crucified for you. Christ took on every burden- all fear, stress, torment, and torture- all for you.
Ask the Lord for help. He doesn’t expect you to do it on your own.
Matthew 11:30
Enter into the submission of God’s Will. It’s not a burden. It’s not hard. It’s easy.
God makes it easy.
He’s asking you to believe in Him more than you believe in your problem. Believe that He is bigger. Believe that He has the answer. Believe that He is your everything.
Be honest with the Lord, because He already knows.
Philippians 4:13
God doesn’t expect you to do it on your own.
He has given us the ability to do everything He asks of us.
The enemy wants to overwhelm you so that you don’t enter into God’s rest.
Matthew 11:28
God says to go to Him.
How do you go to God? You say, “Heavenly Father in Jesus’ Name.” When you say this, you have Heaven’s attention and your Father’s ear.
Exodus 3:7-9
God hears the cries of His people, and He answers them.
Don’t walk by your five physical senses. How do you do this? You do this by getting in the Word of God and renewing your mind with the Word.
God is truth and His truth will always set you free.
Micah 7:8
When you are going through difficult situations it may feel like the enemy is winning.
When you have fallen down, you get back up by turning to God.
So go to your Father’s House. Choose to turn to God.
John 10:27-28
You have spiritual ears open to hear Him. Just listen.
God is the God of light. Don’t give up.
Philippians 4:6
Go to God.
Pray always and praise always in every situation.
Prayer
Prayer breaks chains. It will destroy every burden, weight, and care.
Go to Him in the Name of Jesus and get the freedom that has already been paid for.
Although your burdens, weights, and cares are bigger than you, they are not bigger than God.
Nothing the enemy does can overtake you because God has destroyed the enemy’s power for your sake.
With God nothing is impossible.
Thank You, God, that You are the Great I AM.
God will never leave you nor forsake you.
You, God, are my answer to everything.
