What if you simply stopped carrying the weight? The Bible doesn't tell you to manage your worries, carry them better, or learn how to live under the pressure. It tells you to CAST THEM ON GOD. In Day 3 of Worry Free Living, we're looking at Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 and learning what it actually means to release the weight of your worries, cares, anxieties, and burdens onto God. 🎓 Want to go deeper in the Word?

When you release the weight of your burdens onto Him, you can trust Him to sustain you, provide for you, guide you, and show you what to do next. Think about this: Where would you be today if you hadn't worried about anything for the last 365 days? At the very least, you'd probably still be where you are right now, except you would have enjoyed the last year a whole lot more. And what decisions might you have made differently if they had come from faith instead of fear? Worry makes you play defense. Faith allows you to move forward. Worry thoughts may come, but you don't have to receive them. Take the thought captive. Stop the negative mental movie. Replace it with God's Word. Release the weight of it. Let God sustain you. 📖 SCRIPTURES IN THIS TEACHING: Psalm 55:22 1 Peter 5:6-7 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Philippians 4:13 Mark 11:23-24 2 Timothy 1:7 1 John 4:4 📖 Get Free Daily Bible Teaching: https://increaseministries.com/start-here 📚 Books & Resources: https://increaseministries.com/books 🌐 Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com #WorryFreeLiving #StopWorrying #CastYourCares #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #BibleTeaching #ChristianLiving #IncreaseBibleAcademy

What do you do when a worried thought suddenly hits your mind? "What are you going to do?" "How are you going to pay for this?" "What if this gets worse?" That's where the battle starts.

The Bible doesn't just tell you, "Don't worry." It shows you what to do instead. Psalm 37 tells us to trust in the Lord, feed on His faithfulness, delight ourselves in Him, commit our way to Him, rest in Him, and expect Him to answer. One of the most practical things you can do when worry or anxiety starts is feed on God's faithfulness. Remember the times God has already provided for you. Remember the prayers He's answered. Remember when He gave you wisdom, opened a door, met a financial need, brought healing, or showed you exactly what to do. As you remember God's faithfulness, you're building your confidence that the same God who came through before will be faithful again. You'll learn: • What it actually means to trust God • Why worry reveals where your trust is • How to feed on God's faithfulness • How to stop playing worst-case scenarios in your mind • What it means to commit your way to the Lord • How to rest in God instead of trying to figure everything out yourself • How to expect God to give you an answer • Why Psalm 37 says worry only causes harm One of the biggest keys in this teaching is simple: You don't need to formulate the plan. You need to hear His plan. Rest in the Lord. Expect Him to answer. Then follow the instructions He gives you. If worry, fear, anxiety, financial pressure, or uncertainty has been controlling your thoughts, get your Bible and study Psalm 37:3-11 with us. And if you want help putting this into practice, we're currently doing a 45-Day Worry Fast inside Increase Academy, with practical Bible teaching designed to show you what to do when worry comes. ❤️ Give and Support The Work: https://increaseministries.com/give 🌐 Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com #BibleStudy #Worry #Anxiety #TrustGod #Psalm37 #Faith #ChristianLiving #BibleTeaching #WordOfGod #IncreaseAcademy

What should you do when you're following God and suddenly everything gets hard? Does opposition mean you missed God? Should you stop?

One of those qualities is perseverance, or steadfast endurance. Biblical perseverance isn't sitting around waiting for something to change. It's remaining steadfast under pressure. It's refusing to abandon your position just because things become difficult. Sometimes Christians encounter an obstacle and immediately think, Maybe God is telling me to stop. But difficulty by itself doesn't mean you missed God. In this teaching, you'll learn how to develop spiritual grit, recognize thoughts that try to get you to quit, become stronger under pressure, and continue moving forward in what God has called you to do. You'll also discover what Peter teaches about: • Perseverance and steadfastness • Godliness and living a Christ-centered life • Brotherly kindness and genuinely caring for others • Agape love and putting the good of others before yourself • Becoming useful and productive in your knowledge of Christ • Developing spiritually so that you do not stumble Peter doesn't simply tell believers to possess these qualities. He tells us to make every effort to develop in them. And there's an incredible promise attached to that growth: as these qualities increase in you, you become useful and productive in your knowledge of Jesus Christ, and Peter says that actively developing these virtues will keep you from stumbling. If you've been tempted to quit, wondering whether resistance means you missed God, or simply want to become a stronger and more mature Christian, get your Bible out and study through 2 Peter 1:2-11 with us.

God has already given you everything you need for life and godliness. He has also given you exceedingly great and precious promises so that you can partake of His divine nature. But Peter doesn't stop there. He tells believers to give all diligence to growing and developing spiritually. You'll learn how to develop: • Moral excellence • Knowledge and understanding • Self-control • Steadfastness and perseverance • Godliness • Brotherly affection • Agape love These aren't qualities you simply ask God to magically develop for you. Peter tells us to make every effort to grow in them. And the promise attached to this is powerful. According to 2 Peter 1, as these qualities increase in you, they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in your knowledge of Jesus Christ. Peter then says that if you actively develop in these things, you will never stumble. If you want to become stronger in your faith, understand God's Word at a deeper level, grow in spiritual maturity, and become more useful and productive for God's Kingdom, this Bible study will give you practical areas you can begin developing today.

What if you're asking God to give you something the Bible says you already have? In this Bible teaching, Travis Peters continues through 2 Peter 1 and breaks down the qualities every believer is instructed to actively develop, including faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. 🔥 Get Daily Increase Devos: https://increaseministries.com/start-here 🎓 Join Increase Academy: http://increaseacademy.com/ One of the biggest mistakes Christians can make is waiting for God to do something He has already instructed us to do. Peter says to "give all diligence" and add these qualities to your faith. That means spiritual growth isn't passive. We have a responsibility to develop, grow, practice, and put God's Word to work in our lives. In this teaching, you'll discover: • What the Greek word for faith, pistis, actually means • What it means to add virtue and moral excellence to your faith • Why Christians should continually grow in knowledge and understanding • The biblical meaning of self-control and self-mastery • Why you should stop saying, "I can't help it" • How to develop discipline in practical, everyday situations • Why the world sometimes gets results from biblical principles while Christians only pray about them • How developing these qualities can make you useful and productive for God • The incredible promise Peter gives believers who consistently practice these things Self-control means you don't have to be ruled by every feeling, appetite, distraction, temptation, or impulse that comes your way. You can give yourself a command and follow it. And according to 2 Peter 1, as these qualities are developed and increasing in your life, you become useful and productive, grow toward spiritual maturity, and position yourself to never stumble.

The starting point is simple: God's word never comes back empty. It accomplishes the thing He sent it to do. It heals, it delivers, and it sets people free, including a man who carried guilt and shame for over twenty years and walked out from under it in a single class. From there the call gets practical. James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom for a decision or a circumstance, ask God, and He gives generously, without rebuke or blame. No performance requirement. No thirty day clean streak. Trav walks through the time he asked God for a word over his daughter's medical testing and heard a phrase he had never used in his life, then went and found it sitting in Isaiah 61. The fear left the moment the word arrived. Then comes verse six, the warning about doubt. A double minded man keeps one foot in the spiritual and one foot in his own reasoning, and Scripture says he should not expect to receive anything. That shows up most often in health and in finances, and it usually does not sound like unbelief. It sounds like "I know God is my healer, but." Taught live on the Increase Life Bible Study. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Why God's word always accomplishes what He sent it to do How to ask God for a word to stand on, and how to test it against Scripture Why fear and worry get disguised as love and concern What James 1:5 actually promises about wisdom and who qualifies for it What double mindedness looks like in real life, especially with health and money Why you never have to get yourself right before you ask God for help How to go to the doctor and keep your faith in God at the same time CHAPTERS 0:00 The power of one word: a twenty year weight lifted 5:33 Isaiah 55:11 and Psalm 107:20: what God's word always does 7:19 How to ask God for a word to stand on 9:40 The doctor's report on my daughter 14:01 She will grow tall like the mighty oak 22:12 James 1:5: ask for wisdom and He gives it generously 26:25 James 1:6-8: the double minded man 32:44 When your actions say God might not come through 47:46 Doctors, medicine, and where your faith belongs 56:39 God's plan is a long and satisfying life SCRIPTURES REFERENCED Psalm 107:20 (Amplified) Isaiah 55:11 (Amplified) Isaiah 61:3 Romans 10:17 James 1:5-8 (Amplified) Hebrews 4:16 Hebrews 4:2 Romans 8:1 1 John 4:18 2 Timothy 1:7 John 10:10 Galatians 6:9 If this teaching helped you, like the video and leave a comment with what stood out to you.

Your beliefs follow your thoughts, your words follow your beliefs, and your actions follow your words. He gets the outcome he wanted without ever touching your circumstances. In this teaching we walk through 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Romans 12:2 in the New Living Translation, then open Matthew 6:25-34, John 14:26-27, and John 16:33 in the Amplified. Jesus gave a direct instruction: stop being worried and anxious saying what will we eat, what will we drink, how are we going to make it. That is a command, which means you have the ability to carry it out. You have power, love, and a sound and well disciplined mind, and you can answer every fear thought the same way Jesus answered Satan. It is written.

They are a perspective problem. We do not understand our relationship with the Father. In this teaching from Romans 5:1-2 in the Amplified Bible, we look at what it means to be justified, which the Amplified defines as acquitted of sin and declared blameless before God. Acquitted means every charge against you has been dropped. Then we walk into the remarkable state of grace you already stand in, firmly, safely and securely, and I give you the definition of grace I want you to write down. I also show you why you already know how to receive from God. You did it with salvation. You heard something, you prayed something, and you believed you received it with no proof at all. That is faith, and it is the same process for everything else. This is Part 17 of the Growing in God series, taught live on our morning call inside the Increase Academy. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN What justified actually means in Romans 5:1 (acquitted, all charges dropped) Why you already have faith, and how you proved it at salvation What the remarkable state of grace is and why you are already standing in it The definition of grace: full and free access to all the Father is and all He has Why God is not tolerating your access, He wants to give it to you How to approach the throne of grace boldly instead of timidly Why the fear of missing God's will is keeping good people frozen CHAPTERS 0:00 Why most of our struggles trace back to one misunderstanding 1:32 Romans 5:1 and what justified actually means 3:01 Acquitted: every charge against you has been dropped 3:37 You already used faith once, and here is how 7:54 Romans 5:2 and the remarkable state of grace you stand in 10:19 Grace defined: full and free access to all He is and all He has 10:54 The fridge and the pantry at my dad's house 14:12 Hebrews 4:16: come to the throne boldly 15:11 Stop being afraid of missing God's will 18:59 Prayer SCRIPTURES REFERENCED Romans 5:1-2 (Amplified, and the Passion Translation on permanent access) Romans 8:15 (the spirit of adoption, Abba Father) Romans 8:32 (He freely gave His Son, will He not freely give us all things) Romans 12:2 (renew your mind) Hebrews 4:16 (the throne of grace) 1 Peter 4:10 (stewarding the grace God gave you) If this teaching helped you, like the video and leave a comment with what stood out to you.

In this line-by-line Bible study of Galatians 5:1-26, Travis Peters breaks down Paul's teaching on grace, freedom in Christ, walking with the Holy Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5 reveals an important distinction between trying to earn right standing with God through your performance and living from the grace and freedom Jesus has already provided. Paul warns believers about slipping back into a works-based mindset and shows us a better way: living by faith and being led by the Holy Spirit. You'll also discover a practical key in Galatians 5:16: make it a habit to seek the Holy Spirit and respond to His guidance. Instead of responding impulsively to fear, pressure, anger, temptation, or circumstances, we can develop the habit of becoming aware of God's presence and following His direction. In this teaching, you'll learn: • What it really means to be free from the law and live under grace • Why you cannot earn righteousness through good works • What "fallen from grace" actually means in the context of Galatians 5 • How false teaching can slowly distort your understanding of faith • How to walk habitually with the Holy Spirit • How to become more responsive to the Holy Spirit's guidance • Why the fruit of the Spirit is the result of His presence within you • What to do when you're struggling with joy, peace, patience, or self-control • How awareness of God's presence can change the way you handle money, relationships, business decisions, pressure, and everyday life The fruit of the Spirit isn't something you have to manufacture through willpower. As you become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit living within you and learn to respond to His guidance, His presence produces fruit in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Make this your habit today: Seek the Holy Spirit first. Become aware of His presence. Listen for His guidance. Then respond when He leads. 📚 More resources from Increase Ministries: 🔥 Daily Increase Devos: https://increaseministries.com/start-here 🎓 Increase Academy: http://increaseacademy.com/ 📕 Books: https://increaseministries.com/books ❤️ Give: https://increaseministries.com/give 🌐 Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com #Galatians5 #WalkInTheSpirit #HolySpirit #FruitOfTheSpirit #GraceOfGod #BibleStudy #ChristianTeaching #GalatiansBibleStudy #LedByTheSpirit #Faith #IncreaseMinistries

In this teaching from Increase Academy, Travis Peters walks through Galatians 5 and reveals a powerful truth about walking in the Holy Spirit: the fruit of the Spirit is the result of His presence within us. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. These aren't things you have to manufacture through willpower. The Holy Spirit already lives within you. The key is learning to live aware of His presence, seek Him, and respond to His guidance. In this teaching, you'll discover: • What it really means to walk habitually in the Holy Spirit • Why the fruit of the Spirit is the result of His presence within you • How to respond to problems from the Spirit instead of reacting impulsively • Why awareness of God's presence changes how you handle fear and anxiety • How to experience peace even when your circumstances haven't changed • What biblical patience actually looks like while you're waiting • How to stop letting fear, worry, anger, and your circumstances control your reactions • Why the sinful nature doesn't have the authority over you that you may think it does • How to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in everyday decisions • How to walk in joy and peace regardless of what your bank account, business, or circumstances are saying Galatians 5:16 tells us to walk habitually in the Holy Spirit, seeking Him and responding to His guidance. That's the key. When unexpected news comes, when the money looks tight, when somebody makes you angry, or when fear tries to take over, don't simply react. Stop. Become aware of the Holy Spirit's presence. Seek Him. Listen for His guidance. Then respond. The Holy Spirit hasn't left you because you're frustrated, impatient, worried, or afraid. He is still with you. The question is whether you're living conscious of His presence. When you become aware of the One who lives within you, His presence begins producing fruit in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You don't need perfect circumstances to have peace. You have the Holy Spirit. 🔥 Get Daily Increase Devos: https://increaseministries.com/start-here 🎓 Join Increase Academy: http://increaseacademy.com/ 📕 Get Increase Principles on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00h4aNle 📚 Books & Resources: https://increaseministries.com/books ❤️ Partner With Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com/give 🌐 Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com Subscribe for more Bible teaching on the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, God's grace, faith, renewing your mind, spiritual growth, biblical prosperity, and living the Increase Life. #HolySpirit #FruitOfTheSpirit #Galatians5 #ChristianLiving #BibleTeaching #WalkInTheSpirit #FaithOverFear #IncreaseAcademy #TravisPeters #IncreaseMinistries

In this teaching, Travis Peters shares Increase Principle #10: Every Need You Will Ever Have Is Already Met from his book Increase Principles: 21 Ways to Break Free From the Poverty Mindset & Activate the Increase Life. Philippians 4:19 says that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. But when an unexpected bill shows up, your bank account looks low, or your business hits a difficult season, it's easy to believe what you see more than what God has promised. In this teaching, you'll discover how to: • Break free from fear and worry about money • Renew your mind to God's promises of provision • Believe Philippians 4:19 even when circumstances say otherwise • Replace financial fear with faith in God's Word • Speak God's promises over unexpected bills and financial needs • Build your faith by hearing and declaring the Word of God • Refuse to let your bank account determine what you believe • Walk in supernatural peace instead of financial anxiety • Develop an increase mindset based on God's promises The goal isn't to pretend the financial need doesn't exist. It's to decide that God's Word gets the final say. When financial pressure comes, go back to God's promises. Speak Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:33, and 2 Corinthians 9:8 over your situation. Cast the care of it onto God, refuse to fear, and keep moving forward in faith. Every need that arises is another opportunity to trust the God who promised to supply all your needs. 📕 Get Increase Principles on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00h4aNle 🔥 Get Daily Increase Devos: https://increaseministries.com/start-here 🎓 Join Increase Academy: http://increaseacademy.com/ 📚 More Books & Resources: https://increaseministries.com/books ❤️ Partner With Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com/give 🌐 Increase Ministries: https://increaseministries.com Subscribe for more Bible teaching on God's provision, biblical prosperity, faith, grace, healing, renewing your mind, breaking the poverty mindset, and living the Increase Life. #GodsProvision #Philippians419 #BiblicalProsperity #PovertyMindset #FinancialFreedom #FaithOverFear #ChristianFinances #IncreasePrinciples #TravisPeters #IncreaseMinistries
