054 How God Gives Us Power To Defeat Anxiety

Apr 23, 2020

Episode Summary:

  • We’ve been in the middle of a special series of podcasts about defeating anxiety during times of crisis. In this episode we talk in-depth about one of the weapons God gives us to defeat anxiety: Power.  There are many ways for Christ followers to appropriate God’s power.
  • Romans 8:11 tells us, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” We have been given the same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, yet too many believers are walking around powerless, not appropriating His power.
  • In this episode we discuss the many ways that we can access God’s power to defeat worry, fear, and anxiety in our lives.

Quotables from the episode:

  • The first of three key weapons that God has given us to defeat anxiety is His power. 
  • Too many Christ followers don’t appropriate the power that God has made available to them. 

Scripture References:

  • Revelation 12:10 “…now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser…has been thrown down.
  • Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”
