“Attacking Anxiety” Book Summary

INTRODUCTION
The solution is NOT to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and force your way through this in your own strength.  According to Ephesians 3:20, it is His power at work within us.  If you or a loved one are at the end of your rope today, take heart.  The key is letting the God of this universe do the heavy lifting as your life is transformed. 

You can’t come face-to-face with the Word of God and the truth
about mental illness and not begin to see a transformation in your life.

Chapter 1 – Live Free
Anxiety and depression go hand in hand.  You might struggle 99% of the time with one and 1% with the other, but they are both there. And let’s be honest, some days it feels like you’re struggling 100% with both. The Bible puts it like this: “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression” (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV).

Whether you feel like you are dealing primarily with one or are drowning in both, let’s just agree that we are in this together and that it is time for all of us to head in one direction: toward new levels of freedom!

When it comes to your anxiety, depression, and pending freedom, I want you to fully understand what God has promised you. The apostle Paul wrote in his letter to his friends in Galatia, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1).

God is very clear throughout Scripture that he wants us to experience freedom—and that it is actually attainable. Remember, I want you to know exactly what God promised you so that you can start to build up your faith. Freedom for you or your loved one is actually attainable!

God Wants You to Experience: Peace
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7).

God Wants You to Experience: Joy
“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand” (Psalm 16:11).

God Wants You to Experience: Purpose
“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time” (2 Timothy 1:9).

God Wants You to Experience: Confidence
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him” (Jeremiah 17:7).

God Wants You to Experience: Protection
“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

God Wants You to Experience: Victory
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Stand Firm
What did you notice about those verses?  Hopefully, you saw that they represent the exact opposite of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. 

Mental illness is not God’s plan for your life. He wants you to live free.

Jesus died for you—not just to let you out of prison but so you
could experience freedom – love, joy, peace and all the fruit of the spirit.

As we move forward, you have one job to do. There is a second half to Galatians 5:1. Let’s read it again: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

What did you notice? The verse says that if we want to walk in the freedom we’ve been given, it’s our job to stand firm. And this standing firm is where the fight begins. For too long I, and many people I know, have sat back on our heels and dealt with depression and been attacked by anxiety. We’ve just taken it and assumed it was our lot in life. No more! Anxiety and depression will attack, but now we’re going to learn how to attack back and fight for the freedom to which we’ve already been given access.

God was teaching the nation of Israel then, and us today, that often He will give us things in this life, equip us for battle, and then expect us to go fight and take possession of the very things he’s made possible for us to experience. Paul writes in Galatians 5 that God promised us Jesus has already bought our freedom. And now it’s up to you and me to fight and take hold of that freedom. That’s why, when anxiety and depression attack, we attack back!

We will use the God-given weapons at our disposal to take possession of the peace, joy, freedom, and confidence God wants you to experience—and I’m telling you this is possible for you today. 

We’ve been set free, but now it’s time to live free.

Chapter 2 – You Are Not Crazy
There are some moments in life where it feels like God is speaking right through you. This was one of those moments. Without thinking, I told him three things: “You are not crazy.  You are not alone.  And this will end.”

The starting point for dealing with anxiety and depression is knowing these three things are true.  Those are the words I needed to hear at my lowest moment. And those are the words you need to hear right now because they are true no matter what level of anxiety or depression you’re dealing with, no matter how long it has been or how hopeless you feel.

You are not crazy.  You are not alone.  This will end.

There are two types of anxiety:

• Facilitating anxiety (healthy fear)
• Debilitating anxiety (unhealthy fear)

Facilitating anxiety is God’s grace – it’s a healthy fear.  But it’s easy to let that fear go too far, isn’t it?  When facilitating anxiety turns into debilitating anxiety, it begins to prohibit us from living our normal lives, doing our daily activities and walking in God’s calling. Debilitating anxiety is an unhealthy fear that causes us to stop living and enjoying our lives.

Keep Going
That’s how anxiety and depression work.  They can come out of nowhere and hit harder than you ever imagined. It’s not just you. You are not crazy. Broken? Sure. A work in progress? Of course.

Just like everyone else in the world. Join the party.  You, me and every other living soul are in the same boat.

And here’s the fantastic news: your healing can begin right now, at this moment.  Remember my testimony is not just the part about being overwhelmed. It’s also about being set free from this stuff in ways I never dreamed possible. I’m not perfect, not even close. But I’m also not where I used to be.  I’m stronger, healthier and better than I was in ways I didn’t think I’d ever be. The same can be true for you. All you have to do is run to God.

You don’t have to be embarrassed about your brokenness or humiliated by your emotions.  God already knows all your thoughts and actions anyway, yet he still invites us to come to him, “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

You are a child of God.  He loves you just the way you are. He wants you to come to him in “your time of need.” When you’re at your lowest. When you hit bottom. When you feel wrong and messy and broken. 

The Bible says our “time of need” is the very moment God invites us to run to him to receive his mercy, grace and help.

For some, that moment is right now.  You don’t have to clean yourself up before you approach God; you can approach God with confidence right in the middle of your darkest time.

You haven’t shocked God. Your life may feel like it is unravelling but I promise you God can help put it back together.  Let’s run to Him.  Let’s go to the throne of grace boldly, and let’s watch God do some incredible things in our lives.

You are not crazy. You are not alone. This will end.

Chapter 3 – You Are Not Alone
We don’t need to experience solitary confinement to know how bad it is; there is something inside all of us that knows we were not created to live in isolation. Check out the first critique (observation) God had of creation at the beginning of the Bible: “It is not good for the man to be alone.” (Genesis 2:18)

Every single one of us was created to pursue the plans of God with the people of God.  Scripture tells us to “rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” (Romans 12:15) God built us to celebrate the highs and battle through the lows together.

 We Were Created for Community

One of the reasons mental illness is so dangerous is because it tends to isolate us. Anxiety and depression feed us the lie that we are the only ones struggling, and if you are anything like me, you start to believe it. We become convinced that not only are we crazy but also that no one will ever understand. And so, instead of talking about it, we check ourselves into our own self prescribed solitary confinement.

Whether you struggle with anxiety and depression or love someone who does, the second thing you have to know is that you are not alone. Seriously.  The thought that you were alone is a lie from the pit of hell.  If you deal with anxiety or depression, you’re not even in the minority.

Some of the greatest names in the Bible, heroes of the faith, fought the same battles and were courageous enough to admit it.  You are not alone!

The Bible
One of the many things I love about the Bible is its authenticity.  God could have painted a picture of the heroes of our faith as being perfect, always mentally and emotionally strong and confident, but he didn’t.  He showed us their strengths, their weaknesses, their victories, and their failures.  And most importantly for us in this context, we catch a glimpse of their very real inner struggles.

Some of the most influential individuals to walk the face of this earth dealt with anxiety, depression and mental and emotional anguish – just like we do.  It’s so freeing when we begin to truly understand that we, and those we love, are not alone in this.  It’s not just you; it’s not just your loved ones. You are not alone!

The Apostle Paul
Let’s start with Paul, one of the most influential Christians to ever live. The man who wrote nearly half the books in the New Testament and took the gospel further than anyone before him. The guy who planted churches all around the known world. Listen to what he said to some of his friends who lived in a city called Corinth: “We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia.  We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.”  (2 Corinthians 1:8)

Those are big words. Life’s pressures were more than he could handle. At some point he didn’t feel like he could keep going.

Paul was the guy everyone was looking to, and yet he was courageous enough to admit he was dealing with so much anxiety, depression, and hopelessness that he had moments where he “despaired of life itself.”  If he could say it, so can we!

The Apostle Paul dealt with anxiety and depression. Let that encourage you.  You don’t have to hide it or be embarrassed, and you certainly aren’t too weak to be used by God.  You are not alone!

King David
Remember David? The one who killed Goliath with a slingshot and later became the greatest king Israel ever had.  The one God called, “a man after my own heart.” (Acts 13:22)  Well, that mighty man of God also wrote this, “Why my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? (Psalm 42:5)

What a great way to describe anxiety and depression. Notice in one verse David described dealing with both at the same time.  His soul was both downcast and disturbed because the two go hand-in-hand. David had the courage to stand up and admit he wasn’t okay.

This wasn’t a mild case either; the next time you have your Bible open, read the rest of Psalm 42. David didn’t think he was going to make it. He wasn’t eating. He couldn’t stop crying and he couldn’t handle how disturbed he was on the inside. If you know anxiety and depression, these feelings are all-too-familiar. David wasn’t embarrassed by his emotional state, and we shouldn’t be either.

Jesus.
Not to beat a dead horse but if it makes you feel any better, Jesus knows how you feel. Listen to what he said in Matthew 26:36-38.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

This was Jesus – God in the form of a man.  And he understood what it was like to be so overwhelmed with sorrow that it felt like death.  It’s no wonder the writer of Hebrews told us, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are – yet he did not sin. (4:15)

Listen, you are not the only one. Do you believe me yet? The thing is, you can hear what the professionals say, listen to the cry of the masses at church, read about the heroes of the faith, even hear the truth from Jesus himself and still feel alone.

On paper, that makes absolutely no sense yet that’s been the experience for so many of us. What’s the problem?  How come, despite the overwhelming evidence, we still feel alone?

Whether you know it or not, there is a spiritual battle going on
right now for your soul, your freedom and your ability to live free.

The Thief
There is an enemy whispering lies into your ear, trying to drag you back down into isolation. Jesus said it best: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”  (John 10:10) 

Jesus came to this earth to go to the cross, pay for our sins, and make a way for us to live free. But Satan is very real, and he wants to steal, kill and destroy every good thing in your life. He wants to rob you of the very freedom Jesus died to provide you with, and Satan has one very predictable yet deceptive tactic.

Satan doesn’t just tell lies; he is a liar. The Bible calls him “the father of lies.” (John 8:44) If you’re keeping track at home, so far he’s been called a thief and the father of lies. How’s that for a rap sheet? Remember, his goal is to get in your head and steal away all your hope, and he does so by whispering lies to convince you you’re all by yourself. You’ve heard these lies before, haven’t you?

Satan’s lies always move us toward isolation.  He wants you to keep everything in the dark, so his tactic is to make you feel like you are alone.

I kept my pain in the dark hoping it would disappear wondering where all this anxiety and depression was coming from.  Believe me, I was trying to speak up. Before people knew how bad it was, I would start trying to talk, but Satan knew that would lead to freedom, so he’d jump in and tell me lies. 

The voices were just too loud and too persuasive, so I’d stuff my struggle down and keep it to myself for the rest of the day. But one day turned into one week, which turned into a month, which turned into several years. I blinked and before I knew it I was sobbing on the side of the highway spiraling out of control wondering if I could keep on living, and the people closest to me didn’t even know how bad it really was.

That’s solitary confinement. That’s torture. And I get it. It feels real. But it’s a lie.

Into the Light
Do you know what’s wild? Once it all came out; once my wife, friends and co-workers heard the struggle straight from my lips; once I told them how bad it was – they all respected me more, and they were able to love me even more authentically. It brought us all closer together because they knew how to help fight with me. Talking about your struggles is like shining a bright light on them, but Satan had sold me on the idea that I needed to keep my struggles to myself or else I would lose all my authority and respect as a Christian leader. Nothing could have been further from the truth. My honesty brought a brand-new level of freedom.

God meant what He said: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

The father of lies is trying to keep us in isolation. He’s lying to you. The thief has been stealing your peace, killing your joy and destroying your hope for too long. It’s time to put an end to it.  It’s time to attack back! And our offensive battle plan starts with real, honest conversation with people we love and trust.

Break the Silence
One of the biggest lies I bought into was that silence was a viable solution. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, the enemy convinced me that I should keep my mouth shut. But I was wrong.

I want to invite you to join me.  Fear kept me in the dark and I don’t want you to make the same mistake. If you struggle with anxiety or depression, have an honest conversation with someone you love and trust. Just admit that your struggle is there so you can begin processing it in some God-given ways.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you aren’t crazy; you’re just broken like the rest of us.

Welcome to the party! Talk about it with someone.  There is so much freedom in verbalizing it out loud.  If you keep it in the dark, it will grow, but as soon as you bring it to the light, it will lose so much of its power.

The God of Hope
We have a God of hope who plans to fill you with joy and peace.  Let this verse speak to you today.  Let the God of the universe breathe life and encouragement into you right now: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  (Romans 15:13)

This battle can feel hopeless at times. But despite how we may feel, the fact is God can completely replace that hopelessness with an overflowing hope. He’s going to do it. And it won’t be because you magically became strong enough to defeat the enemy on your own.   It will be because his power is at work within you.

You can do this! Your God is at work. Remember these three things as we begin the journey toward freedom:

You are not crazy. You are not alone. This will end.

Chapter 4 – This Will End
God is in the business of writing comebacks stories in and through our lives. Have you ever noticed that the word testimony (the story of what God has done in your life) begins with the word test?

Right now, you may feel like your situation is impossible. Your mental health may make you want to give up or throw in the towel. You may be so consumed in a season of anxiety and depression that you can’t possibly imagine a brighter future, but that’s a lie. You need to know that. What if all the obstacles you are facing are simply setting the scene for a fantastic story?

Put simply: the greater the test, the greater the testimony.

If that feels impossible to you, here’s the really good news: that’s okay. It’s better than okay. That’s the setup for the perfect comeback story.  Impossible is God’s specialty!

Impossible and the Possible
One day, Jesus looked at a group of people and said something so profound that Matthew decided to include it in his gospel. And thank God he did because it’s something I often need to hear. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26).

All things are possible with God. Picture your anxiety. Picture your depression. Picture the level of hopelessness you’ve felt at your lowest point. Got it?

Okay, now picture the God of the universe who knows you better than anyone on this planet, the God who knows exactly what you’ve been through and precisely what you are facing.

Hear God saying this to you: with me, nothing is impossible.

That’s what God is telling you today. This is not the end. This is not how your story is going to finish. I believe God wants you to begin to understand that right now. Today, as bad as things can look and feel, God’s just getting started in your life. With him, all things are possible!

Listen to what the Word of God has to say about your life: “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

God finishes what he starts. Believe it or not, God has begun a work in your life that he will bring to completion. God’s not going to just get you or your loved one through this season; he’s building a testimony that can change the world around you for the rest of your life. And remember, the greater the test, the greater the testimony.

Don’t you dare give up! If you look up all the great success stories, they all have one thing in common: the situation looked hopeless, and then something amazing happened. That’s how our God works. This is what God does. He picks us up at our lowest points and takes us to heights greater than anything we could think of or imagine.

And he is about to blow everyone away with the
amazing things he is going to do in and through your life.

This is the pattern throughout Scripture. Think about any of your favorite Bible heroes – the ones who did something amazing. They had a time in the wilderness before they started seeing victory in their lives.

Rock Bottom
I know how bad anxiety can hurt and depression can devastate. I know the lies that hopelessness tells us. But listen to me – those are lies from the pit of hell. I can see that now, but it felt so real in the moment. Please hear me: nobody in this world will be better off without you. If you decide to die by suicide because you think you’re at the end, every single person who cares about you will live with an unreal pain for the rest of their lives. You will do so much more harm than good.

Let me say that again in case you have been listening to the lies of Satan – nobody in this world will be better off without you.

And I promise you, you’re going to turn around one day and realize how far you’ve come since rock-bottom. Things will get better. You will find a level of peace, joy, confidence, security, and hopefulness that you never thought possible. And at that moment, you will be so thankful that you didn’t do anything stupid.

If you feel like your anxiety and depression will never end, I understand. If your loved ones feels like their depression, anxiety, and hopelessness will never end, I understand. But what I also understand is that those are lies. Nobody would have been better off without me. My wife helped me to see the truth when I couldn’t see it for myself.

Let me help you see it right now if you can’t see it for yourself: this is not the end of your story. God has a plan for your life, and that plan includes levels of freedom you can’t imagine. You can’t see it yet, but you will.

I am so thankful I never did anything stupid when my emotions were lying to me. God is working in your life right now, even if you can’t see it. You will get better.

Our God is a God of new mercies, new mornings,
new starts, new beginnings and new creations.

Our God restores our lives, and he uses the trials we’ve been through to bring us more purpose than we ever thought possible.

You need to know this is not the end. Your story and your life are not over. He has plans and a hope and a future in store for you that will absolutely blow you away.

Yes, you’re in the middle of a test. Yes, it feels impossible. But yes, your God is at work. Don’t you dare give up. God is just getting started!

And remember, the greater the test, the greater the testimony. You are going to win this battle, but first, you have to know:

YOU are not crazy. YOU are not alone. THIS will end.

Chapter 5 – Fighting
It’s time for you to stop being mad at yourself and start being mad at the Enemy. This anxiety is not about you. This depression is not about you; this hopelessness is not about you. There is a very real enemy, and he wants to kill, steal, and destroy your life. It’s time you got mad at him. It’s time you blamed him. And it’s time you started fighting.”

When he finished, I didn’t have any words. I didn’t need any words. Something new was stirring in the depths of my soul.

I want you to know right now that no matter how long you’ve dealt with anxiety or depression or no matter how long your loved one has struggled with it, this does not have to be the way the story ends. But it is time to start fighting.

You are in the middle of a fight. And it’s important to know who you
are fighting. You’re not fighting anxiety; you’re not fighting depression; and
you’re not fighting hopelessness. You are fighting Satan. The devil. The enemy.

Call him whatever you want, but he is very real, and he wants to steal, kill, and destroy the very real plans that God has for your life. Remember, those aren’t my words; they are Jesus words: “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10).

And the apostle Paul said it this way: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12).

Fighting Words
Satan doesn’t create anything on his own. All he ever does is try to twist the things that God has made into something negative.

Think about fear. Remember earlier when I mentioned that facilitating anxiety (healthy fear) is actually from God? In its original state, fear isn’t a bad thing. It’s a healthy emotion that keeps us safe and, on our toes, and at times, it helps us perform our best. The problem is, Satan loves to try to twist God’s gifts to make them feel like purses.

Sadness is another example. When you lose something or someone you love, it’s necessary to feel sad. That sadness is a sign that we actually care. That we actually love. But when the enemy twists sadness into depression, it feels like the sadness switch is broken and doom is inevitable.

That’s how Satan works. Every day he is on a horrible mission to twist God’s gifts into something he hopes will destroy you. He wants God–given emotions to become deep, debilitating, unhealthy anxiety and depression that steal our ability to walk in God’s calling on our lives.

This is not a shock to God and should not be a shock to us. 2000 years ago, Jesus told us this would happen. And he also told us not to worry because he would take care of things. He said it like this: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

We are broken people living in a broken world, and every now and then, we might
have to fight to experience the very freedom that Christ has already provided us with.

But the good news is we can fight back. We can be victorious. We can overcome. We can conquer things like anxiety and depression. We can experience freedom on levels that we may never have thought possible.

Why? Because greater is he who is within me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). The power and the presence of Jesus Christ working in and through our lives is greater than anything Satan can do. He may want to use anxiety and depression to steal from, kill, or destroy us, but when we stand up and fight – when we decide to attack back – he always loses.

He can’t take our peace. He can’t steal our joy. He can’t destroy our purpose.

Those things are rightfully ours. We just have to be willing to fight for them.

Remember the verse we started this journey with. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1).

Freedom is a gift. It is our God-given right that has been purchased for us. But in order to enjoy it and experience it, we have to take a stand. We have to work for it. Sometimes that freedom will come easily and naturally, but other times, we will need to fight. Whether you’re fighting for yourself or you’re fighting for a loved one, it’s time to fight.

We need to start praying. We need to start worshiping. We need to start fighting!”

I was walking into an all-out war, a dog fight for my freedom. And prayer and worship proved to be some of the very weapons I needed to relearn how to use.

If something is stirring deep in your soul right now, it’s because you are realizing (whether for the first time or the hundredth time) that you have the power to attack back.

Chapter 6 – Using Worship as a Weapon
“The rules are simple. Take this Bluetooth speaker into that room, blast some worship music, and start worshiping and praying out loud together.”

You’re both going to pray out loud for 30 straight minutes at the volume of the music. When he saw the deer-in-the-headlights look I gave him, he explained the method to his madness. He reminded us we were in a battle, and the first two weapons we needed to use were prayer and worship.

But then he said something that changed the trajectory of
my life: “Satan hates it when we pray like this. It destroys him.”

That’s what I needed to hear. His words instantly brought me back to something that had happened less than a year prior, an experience that changed my family’s lives forever. An event where I felt like God was telling me to stop seeing worship as singing songs in church and begin viewing it as a weapon to battle for my freedom.

In Joshua 6, as soon as they started worshiping, Jericoh’s walls, which were securely barred, miraculously fell, and the Israelites were able to overcome the city.

The Israelites didn’t have a chance on their own strength. However, right in the middle of their confusion, fear, anxiety, depression, and (I have to believe) feelings of hopelessness, God showed up in a spectacular way. They experienced freedom and a victory they never dreamed possible. And the whole thing was put in motion with a weapon called worship.

Sometimes we worship because we’ve had a victory. But sometimes we worship until we see one.

God demonstrated to Joshua that there would be times in life where worship would be the way to victory. Worship will be the way you defeat your enemy. Worship will be what brings you the very freedom you so badly desire.

The theme of the entire teaching series was that we don’t have to live afraid because we can stand on the promises of God’s word. And the key verse of the whole series was Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Through all the confusion, I realized the real question I was trying to ask. “What do I do when I’m standing on your promises that say I don’t have to be afraid, but I still feel afraid?”

I’ll never forget the response. I didn’t hear God’s audible voice. But a thought I never would’ve come up with on my own hit me so clearly that it must have been God.

When you’re standing on my Word that says you don’t have to be
afraid, but you still feel afraid, put your foot down, and put your hands up.

I knew exactly what God was saying to me. This is what I’ve been trying to articulate to our church for several weeks. God gives us promises in Scripture; our job is to put our foot down and stand on those promises while we lift our hands and worship.

Claim the promises and then praise God as if they have already come true.

Sometimes you will worship because of a victory, but other times you worship until you see one. So, put your foot down, and put your hands up because it’s time to use worship as a weapon!

God was telling me to do the very same thing he had told Joshua to do. And I believe that’s exactly what God wants you to do right now. I know that what you’re up against feels impossible. I know that what you’re up against scares you to death. I know the walls in front of you feel like a prison that will never come down.  So I’m telling you, starting right now, I want you to worship until the walls fall down.
