All of us deal with stress at some time or another. But God wants us to live a peaceful life–Jesus came to give us His peace. John 14:27 says, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
There are a lot of underlying causes of stress, things that need to be dealt with in the spirit realm. The world tries to deal with it from only the physical and mental side, but they leave out the spiritual side. And the only way that we can live in the peace that Jesus gives us is to live according to the Bible. Here are eight ways we can beat stress according to God’s plan.
1) Make the first move. Don’t wait for God to do it all; He already delivered you and set you free two thousand years ago when Jesus finished the job on the Cross. It’s up to you to move toward Him and receive what He’s done by faith.
2) Turn your problems over to God. Don’t turn your problems over to someone else—turn them over to God.
3) Plug into the power. God is our power source, and if we plug into Him, He can plug into us. If we plug into the wrong power source, we may become supercharged, but we’ll be supercharged with the wrong stuff!
4) Listen for a word from heaven. Sometimes we get the wrong information from people around us, and we just need to shut that off and let God speak to us. Go to Him first. He speaks to us through His Word, by His Spirit, and through His ministers.
5) Act on faith just like Richard Roberts. We can’t see or touch or taste faith, but it’s the only thing that’s going to get us through every situation we face. Hebrews 10:38 says, The just shall live by faith.
