Do you often feel like an Alien? In fact, have you recently inquired if you were really still on Planet Earth? Do things of this World just seem more and more foreign to you?

Well, Dear Friend, you are in good company! Our Apostolic Brother Paul felt same way and said same things. Perhaps in a different language, but it is still relative for today. In fact, Paul went one step further. He said you were suppose to feel and speak same way. In fact, if you didn't, Paul again took it one step further! Paul questioned your so called "born again" experience.

It is quite apparent within our global society today that ANYTHING GOES. We are living in day and age of pure lasciviousness. Modesty, integrity, morals, discipline, and accountability are rejected values. Our so called human rights and personal ethics have degenerated on an over all scale leaving common sense to fly coop. Both, rarely to be seen anymore like an extinct species. All while our acute intelligence in academia is at its highest peak within our quantum race toward prideful superiority. Leaving dysfunctional disorders to coagulate into heart attacks and obesity. If it takes a "village to raise a child" nowadays, that village has seemingly been swept away by a deluge of universal disrespect and idolatrous arrogance.

The pitiful end to this scenario is - most Christians blend so well into all of that! The major congregations of Christianity has unfortunately become just another organization, and a vast one at that. Especially in promoted church world of today, which has become homogenized to point of dilution, polluted to point of stagnation, assimilated to point of derision. All multiplying into a not so innocent ignorance full of mindless delusion.

ANXIETY IS A TOXIN. It is a poison that comes to paralyze you by saturating your thoughts and emotions. It does not lead you into purpose of God, but keeps you from fulfilling wonderful destiny He has for you.

Anxiety is a toxin--but God has an antidote. The writer of Psalm 94 called on this when he found himself in a difficult and oppressive situation. When he felt his foot slipping beneath him, he cried out to Lord and pressed into His mercy.

HESED is Hebrew word for “mercy” here. Some translations render it as “love.” It is counterpart to Greek word AGAPE, God-kind of love we find in New Testament. Hesed is a covenant word that speaks of love and mercy by which God has committed Himself to us. It is assurance of God’s faithfulness toward us, for God keeps His promises. When circumstances of our life start to slip and slide, covenant love and mercy of God comes to stabilize us, to strengthen us and keep us from falling.

Anxiety tries to overwhelm us with a multitude of worrisome thoughts and fill us with doubts. Someone has defined worry, very accurately, I think, as meditating on lies of devil. The enemy comes and whispers things into our ears to consume our thoughts and get us into fear. If we let ourselves meditate on them, we give life to them.

My wife calls these whispers “what if” voices: What if our car breaks down? What if we can’t pay for it? What if we get sick? What if something happens to our children? We used to pay quite a bit of attention to these what if voices-—and it held us back from trusting God more and knowing Him better.

The devil has a lot of what ifs, but why should we even listen to them? “For God has not given us spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1.7). The devil brings us a multitude of anxious thoughts, but God brings us His comforts: power, love and a sound mind.
