Sermon Message by Dr Andre Roebert Title: Are you prepared to cast your cares unto the Lord? • As a believer, we cannot live without faith. // 1 Peter 5:5-7 "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." // • Are you trying to do things in your own strength or are you casting your care unto the Lord? • To be an effective parent, God requires you to surrender all unto Him. • A care is an issue plaguing your mind with uneasiness about a situation • You cannot surrender to God, and still try to fight in your own strength • "Fear not" appears 95 times in the Bible John 14:27 "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." • Thoughts of fear are referring to the cares of this world • Do not let your fear dominate you - it is not your portion! // Mark 4:18-19 "And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” // • Your anxiety over issues is choking the faith inside of you • Your greatest fear becomes you! • If your fear consumes you it will dominate you in your life. • Do not entertain thoughts fear, because as a man thinks, so is he. // 2 Corinthians 12:7-8 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me." // • You have to take authority over your mind and not let your mind control you. • We are to fight the good fight of faith! 1 Timothy 6:12 | 2 Corinthian 10:3-5 | Philippians 4:6-9 • It is time to take that step of faith and cast your cares unto the Lord. • It is time to be set free from the anxiety that has held you captive. Every care that has been plaguing your mind has been broken in Jesus Name! #FaithTv #RiverFamily #SermonMessage
