Shalom and welcome to On Wings Of Truth
I'm your host William McDonald and I
want to tell you how pleased I am that
you're joining me for this telecast and
this program
being viewed on prime time TV we're
going to begin presenting to you a
series of teachings using the hebraic
perspective and this is the very first
of our programs that we are broadcasting
we're going to look at
subjects ranging from word themes all
the way into looking at various concepts
of the Bible based upon the Old
Testament we may do a teaching from The
Book of Genesis or we may do teachings
in the future dealing with single books
like the Book of Malachi but we're going
to have an exciting time what I want to
do today is invite you to going at your
Bibles and be prepared to follow along
with me in reading the text and also
have your pen and pencils available so
that you can take notes we're going to
begin to share with you a lot of
information on these programs today's
program is titled overcoming worry worry
is a very uh interesting subject that
tends to be downplayed in our society
too much and because of that too many of gods
gods
Believers God's people are being
affected in such ways that they are not
even aware that worry what worry is
doing in their lives and so we're going
to start off this series of teaching
we'll probably do four or maybe four so
teachings on this particular subject
until we get it completed
on the subject of worry we will be using
the Hebrew perspective that is using
Concepts and words I won't be reading
necessarily from the Hebrew Bible word
for word or
lecturing in Hebrew I will be using
Concepts and terms that are so familiar
with us today and uh most of the time we
think we understand what these words
mean but we really don't and we're going
to see just how that bear out in the the
program as we go on well if you've got
your Bibles available with you and your
pads and principle pencils are and ready
to take notes we're going to start out
teachings with the subject I want to
read a little uh statement concerning a
worry uh from this little book that we
have put together
on the subject of worry
and let's see if I can find exactly
says
today there is a subtle unseen Force
sweeping across this country and the world
world
enslaving countless numbers of people
from all walks of life this force is so subtle
subtle
that I have met individuals who believe
they were born
with it as part of their behavior pattern
pattern
still others are lured into his power
without knowing
that this force is about
to take control
over their lives
it is clear that once this Force has
gained acceptance into the victim's heart
heart
the force has now
became master
of that life
the force I am speaking of as I said is
called worry
now the Bible has a lot to say about
worry even though in some cases we don't
see the text referring to the subject of
worry but in many times in the
scriptures we have the word use
and sometimes our English translation
will fail to translate the correct
Hebrew word for worry for instance in
Matthew chapter
25 or excuse me Matthew chapter 6 verse
25 the text Begins by reading the King
James version says therefore I say unto
you take no thought for your life what
you shall eat or what you shall drink
nor for your body what you shall put on
is not life more than meat and the body
more than Remnant now in this verse in
the King James text it says therefore I
say unto you take no thought
and most of the time thought is not
really seen
with connection to the concept of worry
but if you have a NIV version
translation I have the parallel Bible
that I'm working with right here today
both to King James and the NIV the NIV
text says therefore I tell you do not
worry about your life so here's the word
worry being being mentioned in the text
and as I said worry in the opening of
the text is a subtle spiritual Force
worry has been
slipping up in our society or sneaking
up in our society over the last 30 years
and it has become a dominant part in the
way we speak
we can't use complete sentences without
somehow another telling someone not to
worry or to worry about something
and we don't realize we as Believers in
the Lord Jesus our lord and savior
we should be guiding ourselves from
worry completely and we're going to go
into a lot of material talking about
opens the door
to anxiety
which opens the door
to fear which ultimately begins to
produce depression
and as we go along in this teaching on
the subject overcoming worry we're going
to establish a lot of those points as
well but let me go back to the text that
we were reading in Matthew chapter 6.
uh verse 25 I'll start from the
beginning again therefore King James
version therefore
I say unto you take no thought for your life
life
what you shall eat nor what you shall drink
drink
uh what
what
you shall put on is not
life more than meat and the body more
than Remnant behold the fowls of the air
for they so not neither do they reap nor
gather into bonds yet your heavenly
father feeds them
are you not much better
than they
which of You by taking thought or worrying
worrying
can add one cubit unto his statues
and why take ye thought of why worry for
Remnant consider the lilies of the field
how they grow they tall not neither do
they spin
and yet I say unto you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these verse 30. wherefore God if
God so clothed the grass of the field
which today Hills and tomorrow is cast
into the oven shall he not much more
clothe you
O ye of little faith
therefore take no thought or therefore
do not worry seeing what shall we eat or
what shall we drink or where shall we be
closed verse 32 for after all these
things do the Gentiles seek
for your heavenly father
knoweth that you have need of all these things
things
but seek ye first the kingdom of God and
its or his righteousness and all these
things shall be added unto you these are
some very powerful verses
and what we're going to do in the uh
series of teachings on overcoming worry
is go back and begin to break down these
texts and and establish some principles
for understanding uh not just the
operation of worry but how you can begin
to move away from this element of worry
and take complete control over it in
your own life and not have it to be uh
maneuvered by its spiritual forces when
it begins to uh rear its ugly head in
your in your life now we said this that
worry is a spiritual Force
uh turn in your Bibles with me
to the book of uh Colossians
the book of Colossians is a uh very
interesting text and it has some
interesting information in here regarding
regarding
the concept of
worry and its operation
Colossians chapter 1
and I want to begin reading with uh
let's see verse
9. verse 9 of Colossians chapter one
King James version again says for this
cause we also since
the day we heard it do not cease to pray
for you
and to desire that you might be filled
with knowledge
of of his will in all spiritual
uh in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
understanding
that you might walk worthy of the Lord
unto all patience being fruitful in
every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God strengthen
strengthen
with all might according to his glorious
power unto all patience and
long-suffering with joyfulness giving
thanks unto the father
which have made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the Saints in light
light
verse 13. who have delivered us from the
power of Darkness very important verses
who have delivered us from the power of
darkness and have translated us into the
kingdom of his dear son in whom we have
Redemption through his blood even the forgiveness
forgiveness
of sins verse 15. who is the image of
the invisible God note this
who is the image of the invisible God
the firstborn of every creature verse 16
it says for by him who is him God for by
God were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in Earth
visible and invisible whether they be
Thrones or dominions or principalities
or Powers all things were created
by him and for him
and he is he is before all things and by
him all things consist now you hear that
the word in verse 18 or excuse me in
verse 16 it says for by God were all
things created
that are in heaven and that are in Earth
now the reason I come back came to these
scriptures because
when we think about this concept worry
where does it come from
if it's just a a word that we Loosely
say in reference to I don't worry and
you don't worry or don't worry about
this if it's just an insignificant word then
then
how does it begin to
appear in our lives and begin to show
some type of power that is controlling
us in in our Behavior patterns of what
we do
but here the scripture says that all
things were created by God note that all
things were created by God I'm saying
that's that worry is a spiritual Force
a spiritual force and it was created
oddly enough by God
now that's going to be a little bit hard
for some of you to take
I want to also clarify and say to you
I'm going to be saying some things to
you in the programs that you've probably
never heard before
and that's because of my background in
my area of studies I'm looking at the
Bible from a Jewish perspective I'm
trying to understand what does the
rabbis and the sages of old how did they
understand this biblical text and then
how would they have understood these
principles as they were being given in
the early centuries so long ago and in
learning that information I spent many
years going back and studying with
Jewish Scholars to understand their
methodology to understand their mindset
and to extract from them principles that
I can begin to as a believer in Yeshua
hamashiach Jesus the Messiah
as I can learn how to begin
to live this life and walk in a more uh
Victorious stage you see I believe that
all of us want to begin to see the
Dynamics of God's kingdom manifest in
our lives and to the most part
we don't see that happening
and the reason we don't see it happening
is simple we're not doing Bible things
Bible ways and I believe that uh when we
get back to doing Bible things Bible
ways you're going to begin to see the
simple principles of Kingdom work in
your life you're being spoken to and
taught so many different concepts and so
many different uh versions of what the
text is saying so I'm going to begin to
present to you some things that's going
to be new to you some of you if you're
if you know Hebrew may be familiar with
some of the concept if you do not you
may not so I asked you to follow along
with me because what I'm going to do is
tie knots and bring things into a whole
Jewish concepts are like uh weaving
cloth together one concept is woven to
another concept that is woven to another
concept and when we get through weaving
all of these Concepts together we have a
beautiful hole that begins to formulate
the picture of who God is and the
picture to who you should be as well so hope
hope
the first thing that I said was God
created worry
and according to the scripture here in
Colossians chapter 1 verse 16 for by him
were all things created note that again
for by God were all things created that
are in heaven and that are in Earth visible
visible
and invisible whether they be Dominion
or powers or principalities or powers
all things were created by Him and for
him now I want you to see something in
this scripture because you see I didn't
make this up I didn't determine and put
these verses in here I'm only giving you
what the text is saying and now what
we're going to do is put together the
concepts that that thread together
understandings in a Jewish mentality
that these individuals have known for
hundreds of years that we Christians are
just beginning to walk over into and get
the light in their understanding of
because they understand the concepts of
worry or the concepts of
in how it relates to them in their lives
as well so where do we begin
this teaching act in order to understand
the concept of worry and its operation
we just established that it is a unseen
spiritual Force just as uh we read in
colossian that it is an invisible force
because you can't see worry
it's just somehow another it begins to
attach itself to your life in some form
or another or how in the world does it
begin to gain access within your being
so when we get through with this program
these series of teaching you're going to
have a complete understanding of its
operation and how it gained access into
your spirit into your mind into your
thinking process so before the program
in we're going to share a little bit
more with you and build upon this
principle by going to the Book of Genesis
Genesis
Book of Genesis and I want to look at
chapter four in Genesis Genesis chapter
4 we have a beautiful story here the
Cain and Abel
and in verse
6 the text says then the Lord said to
Cain why are you angry why is your face downcast
downcast
if you do what is right will you not be accepted
accepted
but if you do not do what is right
the text says sin crouches at your door
it's desire
to have you
but you must Master it
now these versions have always been
there and I read from the NIV
but we don't know what to do with them
and we really don't know how to
interpret it let's look at the story a
Little Closer
we have
two individuals who were born
from the birth or born sons of Adam and
Kava and Eve
Network Kane and then Abel
and then they were to bring offerings
unto the Lord Abel
Abel
offering was accepted Cain's offering
was not
and we don't have any indication why
Kane's offering was not
accepted or what type of offering it was
supposed to have been I've heard a lot
of theories about what offering it was
it was the meat of the ground or all
types of we don't have any evidence of
that but we do know
is God spoke to Cain God spoke to Abel
just as he spoke to Adam
and when he told Adam in the garden the
things that he spoken to him he spoke to
Cain and he spoke to Abel and he gave
them instructions as to what was desired
of them Abel
Abel
did what God asked of him
Cain did not
how do we know that well in this
scripture it says why are you angry why
is your face downcast if you do what is
right the implications here is something
has been told to him that was supposed
to have been done he did not do it and
because he did not do it
here God is instructing him that he
needed to do what was right so
so
I can remember many years ago in my own
life as I was raising my children who we
have my wife and I have four my youngest
son uh
came into my study one uh one afternoon
and as he was approaching he
was standing I turned and looked and he
was standing at the entrance of the door
and when I saw his face he had what is
called here a downcast face
the King James version says his
continence Has Fallen
and immediately because I had been
studying these texts I knew something
was wrong
he approached me and handed me a sheet
of paper that on the paper as I read it
it had information that he was failing
several of his classes and they were
trying to get us to get him into study
so that he didn't ultimately get a
report card that was bad
my son knew
that he had done wrong because his
mother and I had told him countless
numbers of time what he was supposed to
have been doing in so far as studying
but instead of studying and doing what
was right he did what he desired to do
and in the process of doing that now he
had to come and present this paper to me
with a downcast face
now something much more Dynamic is going
on here
because you see I understood the
operation of what was happening in my
son's life only because I began to study
this concept of worry many years ago to
understand how does worry gain access
Into the Heart of an individual
and when I began to realize he gains
access through words spoken to our
hearts into our minds or to our spirits
and you see just as God told Cain what
was required of him
the minute that God wasn't around the
ugly one
came and spoke to Cain and said to him
you don't have to give an offering of
that sort got to be happy if you give
unto him an offering of this sword
in other words Cain took fault Jesus
says don't take thought do not worry
Cain took the thought of the ugly one
speaking to his mind and when he took
the thought Disobedience entered in and
now Cain is outside of the will of God
and you see no doubt the same situation
was playing its way through in this in
in the life of my son
because my son had been told what he
needed to do and no doubt the enemy the
ugly one or we could say worry came and
spoke to his mind and told him well you
know you can go out and throw the
football a little longer you can play a
little a little bit longer you can play
the games of Nintendo you can do you can
and when it came time to study he put
little effort into it and the result of
that was he didn't get the approval that
he desired or that we desired him to get
well you see in the texts here in
Genesis it's interesting my son had me
to contend with Cain on the other hand
he had God
let's look at this text a little bit a
little bit as we conclude the program it says
says
if you do what is right
will you not be accepted now I want to
set as a principle
for overcoming worry right now the first
principle that I want you to jot down
and to keep in your heart
is you always have to do what is right
now why is that important because God is
setting a principle that will live out
through the lives of his creators of his
Creations throughout all of eternity and
that principle is simple always do what
is right
if you do what is right the text says
you're going to be accepted but if you
don't do what is right
the text says sin crouches at your door
now When sin crouches at your door its
desire is to have you but you must
Master it now that that gets kind of
technical because because there are some
things being stated in there that can be
very difficult to understand and as we
get ready to go over into our next
program we're going to begin to talk
with you a little bit more about how can
sin Crouch at your door because I want
you to think about this you see sin is a
result of an action taken
not something that that can just be
there you have to actually do something
in order for sin to be produced in your
life well
I hope you've gotten a lot out of this
teaching as we've said just simply a
foundation for what we're going to be
talking about in reference to overcoming
worry uh be prepared to come back with
us next week as we present the second
part to this teaching and begin to look
at the principles for overcoming worry
and I believe that once you understand
these things you will be able to push
worry out of your life as well shalom
