Freedom From Worries and Anxieties

Keeping our minds set on the Holy Spirit is so important. The Holy Spirit wants Jesus to be magnified and glorified in our thoughts. He wants our minds to be fixed on envisioning the hope and the future that He has in store for us so we can live in freedom, completely free from worries and anxieties. That’s His territory, and He’s rather jealous about it. Minds and hearts that are weighed down with concerns or criticisms are limited in what they can do. Minds and hearts that are free are able to demonstrate and receive His power.

Rest and freedom

One lady wrote me a lovely testimony recently after one of our services. She said as we were singing in the Spirit in tongues, I kept saying a phrase in Samoan: “Come rest in the bosom of the Father.” Over and over again, apparently, I was saying that in a language I don’t know. I was so excited to get that message, and I really do believe that’s what the Holy Spirit is saying to us: “Come rest in the bosom of the Father.” Fellowship with Him will always lead us to that place. Even if He has something specific for us to do, He wants us to do it from a place of resting in Him. We need to become like little children in our hearts and not trouble ourselves with weighty matters. We need to cease from worry and anxiety and simply trust.

One of my favorite psalms is Psalm 131:

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever.

—PSALM 131, NKJV
