I AM Joshua “No Anxiety in Purpose”
Good morning, everyone hope everyone is doing well. I'm Joshua and I have no idea what today is I've been gone. I don't think I've known what day it is for probably eight months outside of the Sundays. I know a day Sundays are now, I guess I know what day Fridays are, but it seems like I'm always forgetting what day it is. And I don't really even know if it matters anyway, but here's the thing. I do the same thing every single morning. I start my day, every single morning, I start with a quiet time and I heard something today that made me abruptly stop what I was doing, because I felt like I've never heard it framed this way before.

And I thought it was really, really powerful. And it's funny because we can here something over and over and over again. We could hear it until, you know, I mean, it, it just like, okay, well, I had enough of that, but then one day the light bulb goes off. So this morning I heard it was listening to Charles Stanley and he was like a contemplation of different preachers saying different messages. And I heard this, there was no reason to have anxiety, or if you were living in God's purpose for your life, meaning. And the way that I thought about that is this. Cause you always hear about be anxious and worried about nothing.

That is something that you hear. If you go to church or you'll hear people quote all the time, be anxious for nothing, be anxious for nothing. Well, there is some truth to that, but there's also kind of a, there is, it's a bit of a misnomer because you see if you're living God's purpose for your life, he's going to equip you for everything that you need. Everything you need, you will be equipped with. If you are living out God's purpose for your life. In fact, you already have everything you need inside of you are literally everything you need is inside of you. Good morning, Tiffany.

So, but if you're not living in God's purpose for your life and your trying to be something, you're not. If you're trying to do something that you are not created to do, you're going to be anxious. You're going to be worried because you weren't designed and you weren't created to do whatever that is. But if you are in line with God's purposes for your life, you will have every single thing you need. Even the extra stuff that needs to come into your life for you to fulfill the mission that you were created for will be provided for you.
Joshua T Berglan
00:02:47
But you already have everything you need to accomplish what you were created for. So there's no reason to have anxiety. There's no reason to worry. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. That was the best news I've heard in months. And the reason why is Because it's it's it's it's Sometimes I, I, I personally gets so focused on the bigger picture at Hi Hamy what's up in the cost. Are you going to see you for you to get to see you guys? I get so focused on the future. I think they call it future tripping where I'm looking years down the line.

How am I going to do this? How am I going to accomplish this blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Where's the money going to come from? Where's the building is going to come from blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm not qualified for this. Blah-blah-blah bull crap. If you are in line with God's purpose for your life, and you were walking that out, even if it's not perfect, but you're doing it. You have everything you need. There is no reason to have an anxiety it's ever, the more reason to say, I trust you. I surrender your will be done. It's it's it's so beautiful. And so peaceful. If you think about it, think about it like, well, here's one way to look at it.
Joshua T Berglan
00:04:09
I think I've used this analogy before, but a car there's a manufacturer for a car that car is designed to do set things that gives you an owner's manual to operate that vehicle. Now, if you try to take that vehicle and operate it underwater, or, or try to go take it and, and, and make it be a tank or something like that, odds are, it's not going to work the way you are. It's not going to work the way it was designed to work. Therefore you're, you're, you're, you're going against that cars. Purpose you're going to against the manufacturers Purpose for that vehicle.
Joshua T Berglan
00:04:50
So God is your manufacturer. He created you. And the Holy spirit is your operating manual. If you operate and you follow the Holy spirit, AKA the owner's name or the, or the owners manual, or if you follow Its guidance, you are going to operate exactly the way that you were created to operate. You are going to function exactly the way you were supposed to function. But when we Verve off and try to do our own thing and go up against it, we are at the right wrist. I'm a failure. So I have no reason to it. There's no reason to have Anxiety.
Joshua T Berglan
00:05:30
So yeah, this is one of the best reasons ever to surrender to God's purpose for your life, because he's got you. There is no reason to have Anxiety surrender your will for his, and everything's going to be all right. God bless you guys have an amazing day.
