Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff!

Life can sometimes get to the point where it seems as if it’s nothing but a bunch of burdens. Actually, if you follow the news or even just look around you, there’s plenty you could get upset about. I want to remind you this month that compared to God and what He can—and will—do in your life, everything else is small stuff! Now, I’m not trying to belittle what you’re facing. But when we begin to worry about the situa- tions around us, we magnify the possibility of failure and disappointment in our own minds. And eventually we can get to the point of not trusting God. We can forget how big our Lord really is. We must continually renew our minds to what the Word says to keep them from getting cluttered with the mess of the world. Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything” (NIV). First Peter 5:7 tells us, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (NIV). Get hold of these words and don’t turn loose of them! Begin to grasp the truth that God is greater than any problem you’ll ever face. Instead of fretting about circumstances, focus on the Lord’s faithfulness. Instead of pondering your problems, begin to press into His promises. Instead of wallowing in worry, begin to worship your wonderful Heavenly Father. Don’t sweat the small stuff . . . because God will deliver you every time! If you’re ready to lighten your load and cast all your cares on the Lord, be sure to check out my article on page 4. And you won’t want to miss our Rhema Bible Training College USA graduation report on page 11. We now have more than 60,000 graduates worldwide who are making an impact for the Kingdom of God!

8 THE WORD OF FAITH // August ‘13 Whenever sickness, temptation, financial trouble, or any other kind of at- tack comes against us, we can boldly declare, “My heart is fixed on the Word. And the Word says that God will be with me in trouble, and that He will deliver me (Ps. 91:14–15). He always causes me to triumph in Christ (2 Cor. 2:14)!” We need to make sure that our anchor is secure on God’s Word. Then when the waves of tribulation come, we can stay steady. Be Faithful Did you know that you are planting seeds today that will produce a harvest in your life tomorrow? But what kind of seeds are you planting? Are they seeds of faithfulness? Luke 16:10 says, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.” Verse 12 goes on to say, “If ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?” In other words, we must be Offer Special faithful in helping others fulfill their vision before God will help us fulfill our Also on eBook! vision. rhema.org/ebook Faithfulness is one of the fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22.

You can develop your faithfulness—along with the other fruit of the Spir- it—as you choose to give your whole heart in serving and obeying the Lord. Be Fruitful If you stay focused, fixed, and faithful, then you’re going to be fruitful. You’re going to fulfill the four F’s of success. You may not see the fruit immediately. But eventually, in the right season, you will produce fruit. Psalm 1:1–3 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the un- godly . . . but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, THAT BRINGS FORTH ITS FRUIT IN ITS SEASON, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper” (NKJV). Walk When harvest time comes, we’ll bear much fruit. Why? Because we’ve been rooted and grounded in the Word. We’ve been watered and fed. And we’ve been pruned and sprayed.

Upon gradua- tion, he returned to his home state of Ohio and helped his brother Joe establish a church. He eventually came back to Rhema as bass player—and ultimately, manager—for the Rhema Singers & Band. To the Nations In 1989, eight years after they met, Tony and Patsy married. Several years later, the Lord began dealing with them about moving to Sicily. Though Tony and Patsy always had missions on their hearts, they were still sur- prised. They had assumed they would live in Tulsa and travel to the nations. However, in 1993, just three months after the birth of their first daughter, Liliana, they moved to Altavilla Mi- licia. In this small mountain town outside Palermo, Sic- ily, their second daughter, Annalisa, was born 16 months later. Once overseas, the Camenetis spent two years setting up a Bible school to train church leaders. Realizing how easy it was to travel to other European countries, they also ministered in Bible schools, churches, and conferences in a number of other nations. From Sicily, Tony and Patsy moved to Rome where Tony & Patsy they again oversaw a Bible school. It was here that they Cameneti heard Rhema was beginning to open campuses around the world. And it immediately came into their hearts to help. They spent three years helping Rhema get started in Verona. “Our years in Italy were really valuable,” Patsy noted. “We learned a lot.” But in 2002, after nearly nine years in this nation, God opened yet another door.

But when our faith is just as strong in God’s mercy of healing verses, the words compassion and mercy are translated from the as it is in His mercy of forgiveness, we’ll be healed just as easily same Hebrew word. They mean the same thing. In other words, as we were forgiven. to be merciful means to be full of compassion. And that’s God’s Let’s look at a few passages of Scripture that show the compas- character. sion—the mercy—of the Lord in regard to healing. Now, there are quite a few people who think of God’s mercy MARK 1:40–41 only in relation to salvation for sinners. Thank God, His mercy 40 And there came a leper to him [Jesus], beseeching him, and kneeling is extended to sinners. But Second Corinthians 1:3 says God is down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me the Father of “mercies”—plural. We see this again in Psalm 106:7: clean. “They [the Israelites] remembered not the MULTITUDE of thy [God’s] 41 And Jesus, MOVED WITH COMPASSION [or mercy], put forth his mercies.” hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. What were the “multitude” of mercies God showed to the children of Israel? For one thing, God’s mercies were shown in According to dictionary definitions, to have compassion is the wonders and miracles He performed in delivering them out to love tenderly, to pity, to show mercy, and to be full of eager of Egypt where they had been held captive. The psalmist called yearning. That means that Jesus, full of tender love, pity, and an those wonders God’s mercies. And those mercies encompass all eager yearning to help and bless, laid His hands on this leper and the Lord’s provisions—including healing. healed him. Hallelujah!

rhema.org 25 We find this same compassion in Matthew chapter 20.

MATTHEW 20:30–34 30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, HAVE MERCY ON US, O Lord, thou son of David. 31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, HAVE MERCY ON US, O Lord, thou son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. Special Offer 34 So Jesus HAD COMPASSION ON THEM, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Notice that these two blind men asked the Lord for mercy. Then Jesus re- sponded, “What will ye that I shall do unto you?” The blind men replied, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” These men asked for the mercy of having their eyes opened, and Jesus granted them the mercy or compassion of healing. Healing is a mercy! Throughout the Gospels, we see again and again how Jesus was moved with compassion toward suffering humanity. Matthew 14:14 says, “Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION toward them, and he healed their sick.” In Mark chapter 5 we find the story of the madman of Gadara. Jesus cast 25% the demons out of him and the man was delivered. He later told the man, “Go OFF home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, AND HATH HAD COMPASSION on thee” (Mark 5:19). Jesus was plenteous in mercy—in compassion—to all who needed healing. That means God is the same way. Remember, Jesus said, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9). Struggling Is God’s Healing Mercy for You? How far does the Lord’s compassion and mercy reach? Only to the forgive- ness of sins? No! The Bible says, “The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies to receive are over all his works” (Ps. 145:9). If you are in Christ (Eph. 2:10), then you are one of God’s “works”!

“The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be Like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” - Isaiah 58:11 (NIV 1984)

A lady once approached evangelist D.L. Moody We must allow faith in and told him she had found a wonderful promise in the Bible God to replace fear. The that helped her overcome fear. Her verse was Psalm 56:3: “What Lord said many times in the time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Mr. Moody replied, “Why, Bible, “Fear Not.” In Mark I have a better promise than that!” And he quoted Isaiah 12:2: chapter 4 we read of a time “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.” when Jesus and His disciples It would be easy to be overcome with fear in our world got into a boat and He said to today. Violent crimes are escalating, and natural disasters are them, “Let us pass over unto the other side” (v. 35). Jesus went to occurring in many areas. Certainly we are living in the last days. sleep and suddenly a great storm arose. The wind and waves I am so thankful that in the midst of perilous times, the Word of began to beat on the ship. Afraid, the disciples woke Jesus up God gives us assurance that if we have made God the center of and said, “Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and our lives, we do not have to fear. I often heard my father-in-law rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind say, “Fear and faith cannot reside together. If you are in fear, you ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are are out of faith.” ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” (vv. 38–40). It is so important to conquer fear. Fear will paralyze and The secret to victory over fear is faith in God. He is there to enslave you. It will cause you constant worry and turmoil. solve any problem in your life. Psalm 46:1–2 says, “God is our God never intended for us to be enslaved by fear. In fact, when refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not writing to Timothy, Paul said, “God hath not given us the spirit of we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7). carried into the midst of the sea.” So often our fears are unfounded. My husband relates how From the time our children were young, my husband and I as a young boy he was trying to go to sleep when suddenly taught them the 91st Psalm. Let me share some verses with you. outside his window he saw a shadow resembling a man’s hand. PSALM 91:1–2; 14–16 (NLT) He immediately became frightened and thought someone 1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the was trying to break in. After several minutes of shaking from shadow of the Almighty. fright, he decided to conquer that fear by opening the door 2 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of and looking outside. When he did, he saw that the shadow was safety; he is my God, and I trust him. caused by a mimosa tree limb blowing in the wind. The enemy always brings the worst thoughts to your mind. This psalm continues with many great promises of protection. Then at the end, the Lord speaks.

14 . . . “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. 16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” I encourage you to find scriptures in the Word of God concerning fear. Read them every day. Make them such a part of your routine that when a fearful situation arises, your immediate response is the same as D.L. Moody’s: “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.”
