WHY WORRY WHEN YOU CAN PRAY?

By Pastor Gillian Prescod We live in a society where stress and worry appear to be a way of life. We worry about our jobs, marriages, finances, health, children; and the list goes on. The Dictionary of Bible Themes defines worry as, “A sense of uneasiness and anxiety about the future.” We lie awake at night worrying about what will happen next, replaying situations in our minds. Such anxiety is ultimately grounded in a lack of trust in God and his purposes.”

Worrying gets us nowhere. Living with worry can be overwhelming. It causes us to be fearful and anxious and affects our daily lives, causing problems at home, at work and in our relationships. Worry robs us of the ability to live in the present and to enjoy our lives.

Pastor Gillian Prescod

In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:25-34: Jesus makes it clear he doesn't want us to worry. He says, “Do not worry about your life” (v. 25). “Who of you by worrying can add one hour to his life?” (v.27). In Philippians 4:6-7 Paul tells us not to worry but to pray. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7: “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

NKJV. When we pray about our circumstances God will fill us with His peace. He cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, so how much more will He care for His people?

He promised to provide for us, to heal us, to take care of everything that concerns us.

All we have to do is to trust Him and take Him at His Word. He does not lie nor does He renege on His promises.

So let us stop wasting our time worrying and instead cast all our cares, all our anxieties, all our worries, and all our concerns, once and for all on God, for He cares about us with deepest affection, and watches over us very carefully.

TESTIMONY CORNER “I enjoyed everything about the service. Sometimes you visit churches and you don’t feel the Holy Spirit. But when you enter Zion you feel the Holy Spirit. That’s why I continue to come. I continue to praise and glorify His name; for without Him I cannot do anything. I was able to get answer to prayer as there is much improvement with my back. There is much less pain now and I praise God.” Marilyn.

“I visited on a Thursday morning for the Women’s Outreach Ministries and the experience was beautiful. There was an anointing of peace upon myself, my sister and another woman that I invited for many days after we were prayed for. I have labelled Zion Tabernacle as the peace church. If one desires peace in heart and mind; a peace that gives you the confidence that God is real, the Holy Spirit is true and that He loves you, I believe that this is part of the anointing the church carries and I was privileged to experience it.”

Tamara.

“I would like to testify to the goodness of the Lord. I love the Word of God and I love being in the house of the Lord. Most of all I love to worship and where I fellowshipped at the time, I felt unfulfilled.

The Lord told me to move but I did not understand and was questioning and wondering where to go.

Then Prophetess Claudia spoke to me and told me that the Lord said to move at that time.

I came to Zion with a prayer request for my brother who was sick. I believe I was drawn there by the Holy Spirit. The worship sounded like a choir of angels which blessed my heart. I did not realize that coming for prayer for my brother was God’s way for me to move to this ministry. I am now a new member of Zion Tabernacle Full Gospel Ministries.”

ZION’S WOMEN’S HOLISTIC OUTREACH MINISTRY Our Women’s Ministry continue to advance for the Kingdom of God. There have been many experiences of healing from injuries and pains throughout the bodies of those who came in faith. Attendees have been delivered from demonic attack.

Many persons were led in the sinner's prayer and gave their life to our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. There were those who also re- committed their lives to Christ.

Families have also been restored and regenerated. All praises to our Lord and Saviour. Hallelujah!

REACHING OUT

BY BROTHER LYNDON LAMBERT

What does it mean in its vague disposition?

I refer to interpersonal contact. As humans, we are stimulated by feelings of happiness and comfort when someone says, “Hello. How are you? Thank you. Bless you” and so on.

More so, when one is of low esteem or is troubled by issues and a brother or sister approaches and says, “Hey its going to be ok!” In amazement, you wonder, how so?

However, unknown to you, God placed that very person in your path to change your focus, and to highlight that they have been there, and done that! It’s ok to feel as you are but there is relief and his name is Jesus.

Confusion may grip you but Jesus releases you. He is the very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46). He is the one who leads beside the still waters (Psalm 23 vs 2). He is the one that walks through the valley of the shadow of death with you (Psalm 23 vs 4). He is your rock...a strong tower (Psalm 18 vs 2). He is your friend. As he laid his life down so that we could live (John 15 vs 13).

Brother, sister, new found friend; Jesus loves us all. He would like to know you a little better. Getting to know him is easy. Simply ask, “Lord Jesus, I want to know you. Dwell in my heart, change my life and direct my path.” Then have a good look and see changes happen in your life.

Shalom.

Dear Reader, Life is about choices. Our Heavenly Father has given us a choice in Deuteronomy 30:19. I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses….What is your choice? True life only begins when we invite Jesus into our lives. This is your opportunity if you have never done so. Say this prayer sincerely: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose from the dead. I repent of of my sins. Wash me in Your blood, cleanse me from all unrighteousness and forgive me of my sins. I invite You to come into my heart and life to be my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for the gift of salvation which I now receive by faith. I pray this prayer in Your Holy Name. Amen If you have prayed this prayer and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please feel free to contact us.
