Evangelist PAUL ACQUAH,
Live on MZ Radio London, London UK.
For the supernatural The insidious grip of worry, a constant companion to many in our fast-paced world, often feels inescapable. It whispers doubts, amplifies fears, and steals the joy from our present moments. Yet, the biblical directive found in Philippians 4:6-7 offers a powerful counter-narrative. It’s not a suggestion, but a command, a call to actively dismantle the structures of anxiety within our lives. This isn’t a denial of life’s inevitable challenges, but a radical shift in our response to them.
God never intended for you to live in fear. You can choose to reject worry and embrace peace. Through prayer, thanksgiving, and trust in God’s Word, you can rise above anxiety and live with unshakable faith. In today’s message titled “Don’t tolerate worry in your life,” Evangelist Paul Acquah delves into the practical application of these principles, showing how we can silence the relentless chatter of fear and cultivate a life where worry no longer holds dominion. Be blessed as you listen!
The Bible says be anxious for nothing. That means don’t worry about anything. Don’t accept worry in yourlife. Reject worry in your life. 6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
There’s assurance of supernatural peace. Cast your worries onto the Lord and experience Supernatural peace. You need to be serious with any worry in your life, and say ‘you know what, I am not going to tolerate worry in mylife. I’m going to get it over onto the Lord and keep it there’. God has given you Free Will and sovereignty overwhat you think about and so the Lord is not going to make you change what you think about.
It’s up to you what you think about andso let me tell you something: If you have your problem, the Lord does not have it. If the Lord does not have your problem,you have the problem, or if you have the problem he does not have your problem. “God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1Peter 5:5-7)
He’s not into care sharing. He’s not going to take half of the care and you take half of the care. It’s either you cast the whole of your care or none ofyour care. If you’re worrying right now, the Lord doesn’t have your problem, he can’t do anythingwith it because He’s given you Authority on Earth and He’s not going to violate your free will. So, what do you needto do? You need to forcefully just throw it onto the Lord and leave it there. The devil is going to come back to try to remind you about the problem. If the Devil comes back to you, what should you tell devil? Tell him that if you want to talk about that problem you need to talk to Godbecause he’s the one that has it. and the last time the devil was up in the throne room, trouble happened, he’s not excited about going there again. He will be running from you. Tell the devil you don’t havethat problem, go and talk to God about it.
Fear involves torment and that’s the oppositeof faith. Worry is based on fear and fear always involves torment. We see that in first John 4:18 because it says that fear involves torment. “There’s no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment but he who fears has not been made perfect in the love of God”. When you are focusing on your problem, you’re not focusing on God’s love for you. You can’t focus on God’s love for you and focus on your problem at the same time because if you focused on the love of God it would cast out fear. “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”? (Romans 8:32).
Worry is based on fear so casting your care and experiencing Supernatural peace will actually lead you to be able to hear from the Holy Spirit about your problem because there’resome things that you need to physically do about your problem. It’s not like you just cast it over on God and he takes care of everything. Oftentimes there’s something he’s asking you to do but when you’re in fear and worry, you’re not open to get Divine wisdom. You’re not open for God to lead you but once you get into a place of Faith, or get in a place of Peace that’s when the Holy Spirit can show you what to do about your problem.
Maybe you are worried about your current situation, cast it onto the Lord and you can hear God clearly. This brings out a story. I remember when the Lord told me to leave my job and spend more time for the ministry that he has given me. When I told my family that I had handed in my resignation letter, I don’t think they were overly excited about me not working but going into full time ministry. Around the same time, I realised that I had lost about $10,000 through a business venture that didn’t work. So, I began to worry about my financial situation. I even thought I had made a mistake and that I didn’t hear the Lord properly because I thought it was a wrong time to leave my job.
I was so worried about it. I made a decision I was going to pull back on my giving to make sure I took care of myself. I was going to cut back on the resources the ministry sends overseas including gospel materials but that wasn’t the right thing to do. One day the Lord spoke to me, ‘I can’t provide for you if you’re worried. Cast it onto me. You need to give in other to receive in multiples’ (see Luke 6:38). So, I said I’m not going to cut back on my giving. I’m going to increase my giving; I’m going to cast all my burdens on him. And as I cast that over onto him, I experienced Supernatural peace and not only that, my finances took a different turn. God increased my finances in an extraordinary way. He met all my needs every single time.
I want to assure you that when you cast your worry to the Lord, you open yourself up to the actual wisdom and direction of God. Take your worries to the Lord in prayer. And a Supernatural peace will come over you. You will experience it because you gave your worries to the Lord. We need to turn our problems into prayers. We need to get them to the Lord.
