How to Manage Your Stress

Please watch: "The ONE Thing Every Christian Should Be Doing But Most Are NOT!"
• The ONE Thing Every Ch... -~-
We live in a time that everyone is overwhelmed, burned-out, and STRESSED OUT! So how do you manage stress……That’s our topic today on the Beat!
Hey Everybody, My name is Allen, Today I’VE GOT 4 PRACTICAL TIPS ON HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE STRESS. AND THE FIRST IS……..
1. Master the power of NO or Not Now - (it’s not a sin to say NO…some of us need to get that revelation quick!) (JUST SAY NO).
A major reason why we often feel overwhelmed and stressed is because we struggle saying NO to people. In John 11 - A woman named Mary comes to Jesus and says, “Jesus, my brother, your boy Lazarus is about to die! We need you RIGHT NOW!” To which the Scripture says, “So when He heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.”
Notice that what was an emergency for Mary did not have to become an emergency for Jesus. (EVERYONE’S EMERGENCIES DON’T NEED TO BE YOURS). Often times we allow other people’s deadlines to dictate our schedules and we struggle to say NO or NOT now because we are often driven by our intense desire to gain the approval of people.
2. Be clear on your Purpose and Priorities - Mk. 1:35-39
When you’re not clear on your purpose, what ends up happening is that you get pulled in 100 different directions, none of which are related to your purpose or your priorities.
In Mark 1, Jesus is healing people and casting out demons left and right. And one morning he sneaks away to pray and his disciples find Him and say, “Everyone is looking for you” (in other words, they wanted Jesus to heal them). To which Jesus essentially said, “I’m not here just to heal people I’m here to preach the word of God” and they went to another town. (Jesus performed miracles often times to get people to pay attention to His message)
Jesus was clear that His primary purpose was to preach. The more you know your specific purpose the more your life can be focused in one direction.
ACTION STEP: Make a list of your top 3 priorities and then assess how much of your life is spent accomplishing your top 3. If it’s not much then you will quickly experience burnout, you’ll feel out of control, which naturally creates stress.
3. Identify your help - Mt. 14:13-21
One of the MAJOR reasons why many of us are so stressed out/burned out is because we don’t tap into the help that we have around us. In Matthew 14 the disciples are like, “There’s too many to feed we need to send them away.” And Instead of Jesus trying to feed over 5000 people Himself (even though we know He could have) Jesus says, “(Don’t send them away…YOU all feed them.”)
Our natural instinct at times is to start feeding 5000 instead of looking at ways other people can help us feed 5000. (because we don’t trust people to do it as well as us) And as a result we end up not doing much of it very well.
ACTION STEP: Identify the people God has placed around you that can lighten your load; educate them, equip them and then empower them. Train them and then trust them to do it.
4.Schedule your REST - Mark 6:3
(have you ever been so busy you’ve not even had enough time to eat?) Jesus and His disciples were so busy that at times they didn’t even have time to EAT! And so Jesus’ solution for this is not to grab a red bull, man up and keep it moving. Instead He says to come away WITH ME and rest. You need to be INTENTIONAL about setting aside specific times each week designed for you to rest, relax and recharge. When we consistently fail to have these times we feel depleted, overwhelmed and burned out. Put them on your calendar because if not these times will get replaced with other conflicting activities. If you don’t you will always be giving out and not experiencing a recharge which leaves you feeling depleted, overwhelmed and stressed.
I want to encourage you to apply the 30-day principle - If it’s not going to matter 30 days from now then it’s not worth stressing about today.

[@ernestmariri5943]

Amen God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@loryanninchrist6415]

@Reality Check soooo true!! The darkness must be exposed! The truth hurts! But it is above our feelings. People think they’re in church and safe yet their pastors are leading them astray!! Christians in America do not read their bibles. And we have already had a rude awakening and more to come!!

[@1992yanks]

This is such an underrated video that you made reminding us that Jesus wants us to rest. Life balance is so important and God want's us fully re-charged to handle each and every day optimally.

[@takumi7891]

[@julienvansapp5628]

stress is something me and my family deal with thank you

[@lakingdriagrandison6746]

Thank you this is definitely needed, and enlightening because I didn't realize that so many of my frustrations were because of the amount of stress I'm under and I never rest.

THE BEAT by Allen Parr I think she's being sarcastic.

[@bam2431]

Love the way u break things down and simplify it. Thank you.

[@fireworks1876]

Praise Jeus

[@markweswhit869]

Hi Alan saw your note about the rude comments. Just wanted to drop you a note of encouragement, this video was an blessing to me last year and I’ve just listened to it again, I need to reapply it lessons. Greetings from Ireland, God Bless. Mark

[@batman66ism]

Bless you Allen We will be opening up a new church soon and we would love to have you speak there. I will go on your site for details.

[@Whatyouwantmetodo]

I’m stressed about judgement day, the rapture, going to hell, also being left behind

[@alphamegaradio]

I forgot about this ole jem, brother. Excellent word and advice. God Bless!

[@JesusLove-et5wn]

Bless your spirit for the tips! Please pray for me to,have spiritual discernment on when I have the Lord's blessing to say "no" to someone or something, and how I can go about it but not sound mean. I'm return, I pray what you ask of me. I think a lot of Christ followers struggle to say know because Christ follwers are to put others above themselves, and they feel they have to keep burning themselves out and sacrifice rest time or maybe time with family and friends to please the Lord by meeting major needs of others. I was wondering if one day you might do a video on how to manage stress level if you are a caregiver without a single person's help, and the Lord's view on nursing homes or hiring a nurse or professional caregiver. Also, why we should resist looking down on people who have loved ones in nursing homes as long as they go check in and visit them frequently.

[@Godlovesyouunconditionally]

That helped me so much thank you love you and God bless you ❤️

[@elizabethd5264]

100% agree with everything said here. I have learnt the power of the word "No." I realized saying yes all the time is because we want to please people. And I have realized that the only thing I need to please in life is Jesus. Men are all equal. We just place importance on all the wrong things mentally. It's a mental game to just shut the anxiety and saying kindly to others, NO. Not with contempt, but with a soft, but affirmative No. All the things we place importance on, our jobs, relationships, friendships, our own expectations, are all worldly problems which transcend the unconditional love of God. God loves you. Thats all that matters. Remember that.

[@frederickgillette3432]

Hi Allen Lazarus might not be such a good example. In Bible study we learned that Jesus waited until the body started to decay so that no one could say that Lazarus was unconscious. Also another relevant scripture is Philippians 4:4-9. Thank you for making these videos. I look forward to them every Tuesday. You are a great teacher. God bless you and Jennifer

[@frederickgillette3432]

I think this video is about me. Lol

[@thebeatagp]

Me too Fred!

[@bam2431]

[@Lazarusrizing]

[@missfavoured]

This video speaks volume!

[@setapart2serveministries]

Thanks

[@angelink43]

It,s really great stuff you have here. Love it! One suggestion, is to take time to pause more when you finish one point. Let us digest the point a little bit before moving on to the next one. You will gain more followers in that way! keep doing this, you are going somewhere amazing!

[@nougat1020]

I love your teaching :)

[@christianlife7777]

[@НатанаилСталев-ф2р]

I am full of debts and i can't find my rest in the LORD Jesus Christ, i want REST now... Help me Lord God JESUS, Quickly...

[@dilipv.p5097]

Thank you.. Video is little fast and the background music isn't helping Stressed person won't get cheered with this BGM Yet Whatever the points made are perfect Singing cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart is like taking someone’s coat in cold weather or pouring vinegar in a wound. Proverbs 25:20 NLT.

Breaking Off Adhesions By Robert Winkler Burke Book #4 of In That Day Teachings Copyright 1/27/09 www.inthatdayteachings.com Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Breaking off adhesions, By all rights, Strange requires bruising, Tender fights. You need, in fact, A friend, In temp as enemy, To rend. To break adhesions, Off ego, Then perchance, per spec, We grow. Thank friend enemy, Who the cycle ends, Parting soul from ego, Stopping selfish sins. Breaking off adhesions, Isn’t nice to do, Eagles pick off our flesh, An ugly task true. Only a friend you fight, Can likely do it right, Excising selfish blight, To spark godly light. Usually you break his wing, His beak or talon, It’s the onerous job due, He who was carrion… Who is now eagle, No more cannibalic, Picks sin sinew from bone, Ending ties satanic. Some day you might be eagle, Breaking off sticky, bad adhesions, From a friend you sadly fight, Destroying popular delusions. Don’t fear the fight, the friend, Or all what you will see, Better to see the ugly truth now, Than in eternity. We think we are so good when so bad, And evil the friend who proves us wrong, But only a friend as kind eagle, Without mercy beats our weakness strong. Breaking off adhesions, By restoration right, Requires that we lose, Ego’s last breath fight.

Get people out of your life that's causing the stress. If you can't cut it off with that person yet, then atleat limit the time you spent with that person.
