Those who worry about what people think or say about them lack a prayer and Bible study lifestyle. 

What is praying and Bible meditation all about? It's getting to know who God is, why He chose you, and what He thinks and says about you. 

Why would you listen to anyone else when God says otherwise? 

There are consequences to listening to anyone else apart from God.

• Man gave into the opinion of Satan and became sinful in the Garden of Eden

• Elijah gave in to the threat of a wicked Jezebel and became suicidal

• Israel got scared when King Sennacherib shouted threats before a battle

• Israel believed faithless spies instead of faithful Joshua and Caleb

• Ananias and Sapphira listened to Satan and lost their lives immediately

Worries open up negative feelings that leave us fearful and depressed. We lose the peace and rest of God. When do we have peace and rest in our hearts? When we keep the words of God in us. When we abide in Him, His powerful presence keeps us from falling apart. 

Words can make or break us. Add some colour, sound and effects, and we get influenced. Today, it's no more about someone speaking directly to us, but we get targeted by ads and other technological innovations which try to convert us daily. 

Desire to be Spirit-led, seek to hear God's voice and let Him guide you through a fresh experience daily. Only the anointing will prepare us for His coming. 

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
