No Mental Strain
We have been dealing with the reasons behind the failures of Christian life in the last few weeks. When we analyze nuclear energy, we understand that it is when the smallest part of an atom is bombarded in a way that it has no identity of its own, that the greatest nuclear emission takes place to release immense power. God’s immense power is not seen in our lives many times because we don’t let ourselves/ our willpower/ ego/ pride etc. to be broken by Him.
There was a great display of God’s power in Jesus because he humbled Himself on His own and became a vessel for the Holy Spirit to work. If we do the same by giving up our identity to be used by Him, having the attitude: “I should decrease and He should increase in me”, Jesus will make it possible for His power to be revealed through us. This is the secret of the abundant life; the source being Jesus who is the spring of living water. We must stop digging broken cisterns on our own.
There is no strain if we let the Holy Spirit flow through us naturally. It will release us from all mental stress and help us to be free.
Matthew 6.26,27 “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
Many trust in their material wealth and people more than they do God.
Psalm 20.7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 118. 8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
Psalm 125.1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
By worrying, we cannot add a day to our lives. Jesus takes our attention to the flowers in the field whom He Himself has given life and takes care of it.
Matthew 6. 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
It is the life that God has given to the flowers which makes it grow. It is not their ability that makes it grow. They don’t have to labour or spin their own clothes. They rely on their God given life to live and grow. The same is true of God’s children. The principle behind this is seen in Romans 8.2 “ because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”
If we permit the Spirit of life to live through us, we don’t have to labour or stress or strive. Striving/ Struggling is not from God. God works through us while we sleep. The God who created a help mate for Adam by putting him into a deep sleep will also so the same for us. When we live aligned to God, he will do all things for us without we having to strive for us. But we can choose to live a sub standard life like any other person in the world. It doesn’t mean that we don’t have to work hard but the problem is about mental strain. God commands us not to be anxious. The Heavenly Father takes care of everyone.
Matthew 11.28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Jesus wants us to give all our burdens to Him and be free mentally without anxiety and stress. This is the life lived through the Spirit of life.
1 John 2.27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
