Worry, Prayer & Revival

In Philippians 4 Paul addresses the subject of worry. You know worry can actually be detrimental to your health and also can be a killer!

Author James Gray states; "It may surprise many people that a thing like worry can be a killer. It has been proved by all medical researches that worry is a major cause of heart ailments, raised blood pressure, rheumatism, ulcers, skin–problems, asthma and many other diseases. Worry is a slow poison… "

Pastor Adrian Rogers said: "Worry is a wound in the heart of God. Worry is an insult to God. Worry has you living like a Pagan, thinking like the world, not someone who has a Heavenly Father".

In the Book of Philippians Paul wants the Philippian Christians to live like Heavenly Citizens.
Citizens of Heaven don't have to live just like the Citizens of earth who have no god.

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you can take all your cares and all your worries to the Lord!

When Paul says be anxious for nothing it doesn't mean believers in Christ won't have concerns. God's people can have great concerns but it is wrong for God's people to turn their concerns into worry!

Paul wants the Philippians to be prayerful and thankful which will make them peaceful and useful in their church and in their community.
