  • At the root of anxiety is one tiny word that has the power to suck joy and contentment out of saints and aints alike-fear. Specifically, fear of what we cannot control. We examine why Adam and Eve lacked anxiety in the Garden and what we can gain from them to lead less anxious lives.

Thanks guys for discussing and reminding us that GOD IS IN CONTROL! He promised to never leave nor forsake us…and when we look back, we SEE how He has always been faithful, even through the things we didn’t think would work for our good…WHOO! HALLELUJAH!! ☝🏽🙏🏽✝️

    Wooo! I can definitely relate to Preston on the fear of death. I lost my dad to heart failure at 18, literally watched him take his life breath, and then lost 4 more family members over the course of 5 months after that. I was in a constant state of fear and it got the point I had to go to the emergency room because I did not know what to do. I'm realizing that my fear is not dying but not finishing what I start. My dad had business ideas and plans that he made but never got a chance to start or finish. I saw him pray everyday for miracles and it didn't happen, so I stopped trusting God with my life. Now, I'm on this journey of trying to trust God again, but I still have worries of being disappointed. This video was right on time!

    Y'all gave a WORD... When Preston started talking about his fear of passing after having his family... Lord spoke to me because that is EXACTLY what I'd been struggling with. I'm a single parent and not that I didn't care about myself prior to having my kiddo, but after having him now I'm always anxious (I pray not to be) about anything happening to me for the sole purpose that I'm his one parent and the sole provider... The Lord has really, really given me grace and peace throughout it all, but thank you Preston for being so open in communicating your own concerns. It was refreshing to hear that I'm not alone in it, and I'm sure others out there feel the same way.

    I love that you both discussed the subject of death. I’m just like Preston in the sense that I have been hyper-conscious about death since I was saved at nine years old.
    I always fixated on how I was going to die and whether it would be painful or not. What I did not realize at the time was that I was not trusting my Lord with my life. The enemy had his way with me for a long time and used that fear to torment me. It is a such a profound statement that Jackie made about the disciples being in the boat with Jesus and then comparing that to us being frantic all the time. I had not even considered the fact that God Himself has created everything in and out of this earth. Everything that we tend to fear is linked with what has already been created. And if He truly has control over all of creation, including the waves of the sea; and if He is indeed the Lord of Hosts that fights for His people, WHICH HE IS AND HE ABSOLUTELY DOES-then we have NO reason to fear anything! In fact, we have dominion and victory over ALL OF OUR FEARS in Jesus. That even includes death. Wow.
    So much to think about after hearing this conversation! I pray that these truths would cause a stir of boldness to rise in every Christian. In Jesus’s mighty name, amen!
    Thank you both ❤️

    I cannot tell you how timely this episode came. Thank you, guys. I've been struggling with fears and uncertainty regarding engagement and marriage with my girlfriend. Because I can't control any of it and I tried to grasp any ounce of control I could have with it, it made things worse. It's so hard to submit something you want so much and are so anxious about not having to the Lord, but as I've been learning and feeling lately, it's so worth it. I'm slowly learning to relax in Christ and enjoy where He has brought me. Thank you, Perrys. God bless you and your family.

      Am I making the right decision. Marriage is a huge choice and this relationship doesn’t look like any I’ve ever been in. It’s Christ centered but the head over heels feeling isn’t there either. No butterflies. So I think that has me second guessing. Not sure. I’ve been praying and have heard people tell me he’s my husband but still struggling because of the anxiety.

    • @brendonkline596
      @brendonkline596 Před rokem +5

      @Sherese Glenn I understand what you mean. My girlfriend and I went through that same thing in the first half of our relationship. We realized we were chasing feelings and those sorts of highs. But even though the butterflies aren't fluttering or you guys aren't head over heels right now, the best thing to continue to do is pray for the Lord to lead you guys. One way you can discern if he is the right one or not is through your community. Are they uplifting you guys? Or are they revealing red flags to you? You can even pray asking God to reveal to you whether this man is part of His will for you or not. Until you say "I do", you're not committed to stay (I hope this isn't taken the wrong way). There will be seasons where the feelings of butterflies in the stomach and heart skipping beats won't be there. But as you both seek the Lord together, He will bless you and your fiance. But if you're not seeing these red flags (or even if you are) rest in Christ and He will lead you. It honestly took me a long time before I could surrender and just rest in Him. The whole season of fall was so much anxiety and the feeling of need for control.

    Thank you for this!! My anxiety began when Covid happened. It shattered my false perception of control. I've dealt with control issues because my childhood was so chaotic and I had no control over it so as I became an adult, I hyper focused on it. I deal with health anxiety and fear of death so bad, I have barricaded myself in my house. Afraid to drive, afraid to go to the store or do regular daily activities. I've become so afraid of death, that I'm not living. I pray to God and surrender to him, but am wondering if im really surrendering because I'm still afraid. I work to give it all to God and know that He is always with me. I don't wanna die before I fulfill my purpose, but don't know what my purpose really is so there's that.

    When I tell you this came at the exact right time in my life! I’ve had anxiety for a long time. It got to a paranoia state and became the WORST this year. Panic attacks, physical, pain, headaches, dizziness, etc. I have had a fear of death due to the unexpected happening in my life. It has taken over my mind. I had gotten stronger in trusting God, but slipped up and the fears came back. Tonight, I was recognizing how my fears were not factual and that I should rest in God.

I also had my 'come to Jesus' moment last night in the shower where I had to reassure myself of who I am in God. As long as you are HIS child, you have the power (through the Holy Spirit) to dispel those negative, anxious thoughts! They are not definitive. They are not who you are -- not who WE are. My prayer for you & I and for all other persons reading this is that God removes the veils of fear from our eyes, help us to walk in the newness of life and to exude 'GODFIDENCE' because if GOD can't do it, it CANNOT be done! Praying for you. Pray for me too.

    Jackie is me and I am Jackie! Lol! I do not like small talk, social settings make me very anxious, i don’t trust people, and I’m an over thinker😮‍💨. That combo has made life a living hell at times, but oddly enough people, especially strangers have always been drawn to me. I’ve had several people i don’t even know sit and tell me their life stories.
    I’ve been plagued with anxiety attacks for years. I do feel like it is the result of years of traumatic experiences, some which no one knows. Death is also a strong source of this. For many years I grieved the thought of losing loved ones because i started experiencing death when i was in the single digit of age. Namely my mom… I would literally burst into tears thinking about her dying. I lost her suddenly last year and that was an experience that words simply can not describe. My ultimate fear had come to pass, but sadly that same intense fear has transferred to my husband😫. I have an extreme fear of him dying😔.
    I’ve been praying for years for God to remove the fear because He did not give us that spirit. The anxiety can be crippling at times, and also frustrating. I’m introverted, but with the ability to socialize. I spent many years socializing a lot and depleting myself unknowingly. At that particulate time i didn’t even have the language for it. Now that I’m older, I carefully pick and choose who has access to me. I’m trying to work on dealing with my triggers and how to have a reasonable reaction instead of shutting down. It is a hard battle, but peace is my desire and the fight for that is worth it.

    "The fear of The Most High is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and discipline." (Proverbs 1:7)
    6:19 I absolutely agree with Jackie that fear is the missing key to life - we do not fear Him as we should. To me, it appears we first encountered the lack of fear (also lack of listening) between Adam and Eve in the Garden when they both decided to not listen to His Word, and they took counsel from the adversary instead. We then go on to see this over and over throughout scripture: Saul, David etc. Fear and listening go hand in hand, because without Fear you will not listen to His instructions.
    What helps me overcome my own fear is to remember the scriptures about "good fear"- that I shall not fear man or any situation I'm in. Instead, I need to fear The Most High and endure to the end by following His commands, statutes, percepts etc. His Word tells us He will take care of the rest. This helps me redirect my thoughts and to focus on what matters to Him (righteousness etc.).

    For someone that has been crippled by social anxiety for yrs… coming into the knowing of God, i have realized it’s a trauma response from childhood isolation, bullying and rejection. This ties closely with idolizing people over God Himself. As in, I can highly rate someone now but with that comes anticipating rejection as a response from my childhood dayss.. which triggers my anxiety in social settings. So like, overall it’s hard to be open because of how my anxieties manifest in my muddled speech n thoughts.
    Also what makes it extremely hard is that i tend to attract attention with my looks. I am beautiful so ppl associate that with extroversion and just… outpouring comfort n relentless joy… n that is HARD because I’m quite the opposite n deep down I’m just tryna survive ME. So when ppl get to know me… i tend to see the distaste alot because i am not what i look like or expect which makes me feel rejected… n then the loop of anxiety resurfaces over n over n over. I dont know. God is teaching me alot tho

    My anxiety is always about loss of family, when they're sick or travel!! I had the best daddy anyone could have and he past away and I thought I felt like I couldn't live through that loss!! Because I had to live through a seriously abusive marriage and that wasn't anything I'd ever even knew existed. Because, in our home my parents never argued or yelled at each other. No cussing, name calling, or any of that. Even us kids weren't allowed to name call each other. But, if we were noisy or misbehaved at church we would get a stern talking to and then dad would give us some swats on the butt. So my therapist explained it like I left " beaver clevers" house and ended up in " freddie krugers" And, thats what cause the deep fear, and anxiety!!! But, I seriously didn't know that families acted like his or like he was treating me!! I've been diagnosed with ptsd, anxiety & depression, & social anxiety. He always threatened to run off with my kids and i stayed in constant fear he would then abuse them!! I always feel I'm not good enough for God to let me into heaven. I became a cutter and I tried to stop on my own and thats an evil spirit so you need more. So i called daddy, because i was in a panic attack so I told daddy what was happening to and I felt like cutting!! So he prayed for about 2 hrs and when I finally released my faith and I felt that spirit leave my body and then I just broke down and cried and felt so released!! Daddy cried and was thanking God for my release, and we just cried together!! So when he passed away I lost my rock to go to for prayer and the one person to pray with. So keep me in your prayets. God Bless you all!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Imagine being the youngest and alone with little to no family interaction maybe one good reliable friend your siblings present and absent consistently your father and mother non communicative and you just right there getting bullied in school and desperate to express emotions you never felt before like without the resources.
    Skip to my present day, it’s hard to hold any relationship because communication and social anxiety are my weaknesses. Honestly, building a relationship with God ultimately helps restore my anxiousness with hopes to better days and learn myself while teaching my Autistic son the tools how to communicate and handle emotion. #ButGOD

    I think my anxiety stems from lack of trust that God is in control of whatever has me anxious and that He'll handle it in a way I can trust. Basically stems down to the fact that I don't know nor trust God enough, that I'm not in control, that I have to stop being my own God, that I trust my control more than God's control. Love how Preston said "If the God of the universe is on the boat with you resting, why aren't you resting? If He's with you, why are you concerned?" and "If God is here and He's resting, we should be resting just like Him." and "If God is with us, why are we afraid?". Great points and questions!

    I have been fearing death for the past few weeks, which is weird for me. I have been going to funerals since I was 3 years old and have lost so many people in the past 20 years, that I didn't fear death. As of late, that is not the case, so much so that I had a panic attack about 2 weeks ago, I had never experienced that in my life until that day. It was so bad I thought I was going to die in that moment which made me tweak even more. Since that day I have had trouble sleeping at night. I would close my eyes for maybe a hour or two and then I'd jump up in a panic. My heart would be racing and I'd feel like I'm going to faint- my first thought would be I'm going to die. I know the LORD is using you guys, I can't express to you how On Time this video is. I truly needed this video and I'm not even all the way through yet, I got a word in the first 15min.

      Christ is with you always, Christ centered is seeking to please Him in bravery. That is what He’s given us, the spirit of bravery.

    This Podcast literally got me screaming and crying.... And I started saying to myself "I don't know Him! I don't know Him!"..... It's funny how that we've had crazy and great experiences with the Lord but easily forget His personality at the face of issues or pressures. May we receive Grace to be aware of His person daily at the face of every situation 🙏
    Thank you Jackie and Preston, God bless you.

    Before I surrendered to Jesus I was in a constant state of fear. But the scriptures...so many scriptures that secure us in His love and letting us know there is no fear in love and perfect love casts out fear. Amen!

    This really blessed me. This was such a Rich conversation.
    I appreciate both of you and your vulnerability. I struggle with anxiety and I recently started having panic attacks because of fear of death. I know some indicators of why but I’m sure there’s more to it. it also happened to me after I got married. This really gave me something to think about. It also blessed me because it helps me know I’m not alone and experiencing these feelings. I’m excited for God to reveal to me and give me insight on the root of these causes of anxiety.
    Sorry I know I’m typing a lot lol. I also relate to you guys because my husband is more on the introverted side and I am more on the extrovert side. I love how you said that God does that on purpose, I never really viewed it like that. That definitely speaks to his sovereignty as well. God bless you both and your ministry for the Lord. Love and appreciate you guys.♥️♥️♥️

    I relate to both of your anxious points sadly. My anxiety disorder has recently given me panic attacks about death by suffocation (too little time to explain but basically anxiety makes me short of breath and my brain tells me I’m going to die lol) so I would randomly get panic attacks. But I also am very socially awkward because I’ve always been judged negatively for my hobbies and personality as a kid by family. But I’m making a practice of trusting God despite both of these annoyances 😂

    I love when Preston said “We are automatically called to be vulnerable” Lord that hit me hard 😢 This is something I’ve struggle with from a young age & even now. Showing my vulnerability as a child wasn’t received well so I learned how to not show it & life experiences taught me I was right to do so. Now it’s such a struggle to let ppl get close bc I’ve learned ppl will hurt you which makes me wrestle with God when he requires it of me 😢

    Whew! This was too good. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life and it really has made me unnecessarily self-centered in moments where I should be focused on others. It can feel very intense at times but this was such a great reminder that God is bigger than our fears. Thank you Perry family. ❤

    What Preston said about trusting God with not just his life, but his whole life....that made me want to break down. I related to him as a parent. I had to pause the video and pray about that.
    I love you guys, thank you for your videos. God Bless Y'all.

    We have to understand that we have power and our words are powerful. Society has normalized claiming anxiety. That’s a spiritual attack that’s meant to destroy, God comes so that we can have life, abundantly. Even claiming anxiety is the opposition of Gods word !!

  • @lizzys.7806
    @lizzys.7806 Před rokem +1

    I put off watching this because I thought you might say we shouldn't be anxious, if we trust God then there's nothing to fear. It's not as simple as that as I can't just tell my anxiety to go away. So I appreciate the vulnerability of discussing your own anxieties, the acknowledgement that there is logic behind it, and the encouragement to find rest in the truth that God is with us in it!

    Jackie's social anxiety reminds me of my daughter. So much of Jackie's story reminds me of my girl. I pray that one day she too will understand how much God loves her and I can't wait to see how God will use her too! I also pray she has a husband as loving and gentle as Preston is.

    @orezijohn4188 Před rokem +1

    I love Jackie. She made me think of myself growing up. As the last born, the only boy in the midst of 5 sisters with a father who was basically a bully and a mom, whom for all her loving and protectiveness never really knew how to communicate with me, I ended up growing up basically feeling alone and fearful with basically no one to communicate how I felt at that time. I'm in a better place now but it took me all 35years of my life to really understand how to beat it.

    I intentionally watched this episode several times and was blessed so much. I was never able to explain why I feel or respond the way I do to my own social anxiety. But once Jackie shared her own journey, I was able to get some clarity on not just the physical effects but spiritual as well. A lot can happen in 30 minutes! Thank you ❤

    This was GREAT! I ALWAYS enjoy hearing y'all talk openly about real things and wrap it with God being the center of it all.
    Jackie said something about People who can't be quiet - That annoys me as well yet I never thought of them being extroverts I think of them being afraid of the quiet which, after watching this, brings it right back to anxiety.
    Thanks again for being you!
