One of the reasons many Christians struggle is because we don’t know how to manage chaos.
We will have trials.
John 16:33(NLT) “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
“Your chaos is not your identity.”
We must remember: Jesus already won.
Championing Chaos
1. Words
Proverbs 18:21(NLT) The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
Luke 6:45 (NLT) “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.”
“We must see things in the spirit and speak them into existence.” -Prophet Ron Campbell
Psalms 19:14 (NLT) “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
2. Prayers
“We should pray about our situation more than we talk about them.”
“Worrying isn’t praying. “
Philippians 4: 6-8(NLT) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
“There’s a difference between a prayer list and a prayer life.” -Pastor Gerald Brooks
3. Community
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12(NLT) Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up! Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
At Overflow, we follow Jesus together.
