SO JUST – CALM DOWN AND TAKE IT EASY!

WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE IT EASY!

1. WHEN YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK OR HAVE LOSSES– CALM DOWN AND TAKE IT EASY!

IT CAN BE COSTLY IF YOU DON’T TAKE IT EASY WHEN YOU ARE WRONGED OR MESSED UP
ESTHER CALMED DOWN AND ASKED FOR THREE DAYS! TAKE IT EASY! USE TIME! USE IT WELL!

Est 4:15 Then Esther replied to Mordecai,
Est 4:16 “Go and gather all the Jewish people who are in Susa and fast for me. DON’T EAT OR DRINK FOR THREE DAYS, NIGHT OR DAY. Both I and my young women will also fast in the same way, and then I’ll go in to the king, even though it’s against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

YOU NEED TO TAKE IT EASY BECAUSE EVEN WHEN YOU HURRY – YOUR ENEMIES MAY NOT EVEN LEAVE YOU ALONE AND NOT ACCEPT YOUR OFFER!

PEOPLE OF JABESH GILEAD HAD TO CALM DOWN AND ASK FOR TIME!

1Sa 11:1 So after a month, Nahash the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead. All the men of Jabesh told Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
1Sa 11:2 Nahash the Ammonite told them, “I’ll make a covenant with you on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.”
1Sa 11:3 The elders of Jabesh told him, “LEAVE US ALONE FOR SEVEN DAYS SO THAT WE MAY SEND MESSENGERS THROUGH ALL THE TERRITORY OF ISRAEL. Then if no one delivers us, we will come out to you and surrender.”

WHEN YOU TAKE IT EASY AFTER A LOSS – IT IS EASIER TO RE- STRATEGIZE

THE SHUNNAMITE WOMAN JUST LOST HER SON – SHE CALMED DOWN FIRST, TOOK IT EASY!

2Ki 4:20 So the servant carried him over to his mother, where he rested on her lap until mid-day, and then he died.
2Ki 4:21 THE WOMAN WENT UPSTAIRS, LAID HIM ON THE BED BELONGING TO THE MAN OF GOD, AND SHUT THE DOOR, LEAVING HIM BEHIND AS SHE LEFT.
2Ki 4:25 So out she went and eventually she arrived at Mount Carmel to visit the man of God. When the man of God noticed her from a distance, he told his attendant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the woman from Shunem!

SHE GOT HER BOY BACK! IT STARTED WITH CALMING DOWN!

2Ki 4:33 So he entered, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the LORD.
2Ki 4:34 Then he approached the child and lay down with his mouth near the child’s, with his eyes near those of the child, and taking the child’s hands in his. As Elisha stretched himself on the child, the child’s flesh began to grow warm.
2Ki 4:35 Then he went downstairs, walked around back and forth inside the house once, went back up to his upper chamber, and stretched himself over the child again. The young man sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.
2Ki 4:36 He called out to Gehazi, “Go get the Shunammite woman!” So he called her. When she came in to see Elisha, he told her, “Take back your son!”

Est 4:16 “Go and gather all the Jewish people who are in Susa and fast for me. DON’T EAT OR DRINK FOR THREE DAYS, NIGHT OR DAY. Both I and my young women will also fast in the same way, and then I’ll go in to the king, even though it’s against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
1. No matter how terrible and vicious the attack is – I will be intentional to chill, wait and find out what next.

1Sa 11:3 The elders of Jabesh told him, “LEAVE US ALONE FOR SEVEN DAYS SO THAT WE MAY SEND MESSENGERS THROUGH ALL THE TERRITORY OF ISRAEL. Then if no one delivers us, we will come out to you and surrender.”

2. Father, while waiting and calming down – send me help! Send me help urgently!
3. As the Lord lives, I will not surrender to my enemies. I will be delivered from them. I will be delivered urgently!

2Ki 4:21 THE WOMAN WENT UPSTAIRS, LAID HIM ON THE BED BELONGING TO THE MAN OF GOD, AND SHUT THE DOOR, LEAVING HIM BEHIND AS SHE LEFT.

4. When life hits and stuffs happen, let me not lose my head, let me not lose my heart. Help me to calm down!
5. Father, let me never get to a spot in my life where I will not know what next to do! I will always have direction.

2Ki 4:36 He called out to Gehazi, “Go get the Shunammite woman!” So he called her. When she came in to see Elisha, he told her, “Take back your son!”

6. Lord Jesus, please reward my confidence in you with answered prayers! Please reward it with supernatural interventions!
7. As the Lord lives, I receive the announcement to receive all that I have lost back! They will call me! They will inform me. I will receive it back. In the name of Jesus.

2. WHEN YOU JUST HAD A VICTORY OR EXCITED – CALM DOWN!

TAKE IT EASY WITH YOUR MOUTH TO AVOID RASH VOWS AND PROMISES!
Ecc 5:2 Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
Ecc 5:3 For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s voice with many words.
Ecc 5:4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.
Ecc 5:5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. Irrational promises?

BE CAREFUL ABOUT MAKING PREMATURE AND IRRATIONAL PROMISES.

CEV – Pro 18:13 It’s stupid and embarrassing to give an answer before you listen.

ISV – Pro 18:13 Whoever answers before listening is both foolish and shameful.

WHEN YOU ARE EXCITED, BE CAREFUL!

2Sa 6:5 And David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals.
2Sa 6:6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.
2Sa 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God.
2Sa 6:8 And David was angry because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.
2Sa 6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and he said, “How can the ark of the LORD come to me?”

CALM DOWN – GET ALL THE FACTS – WAIT IF YOU HAVE TO!

TAKE IT EASY! PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

ISV – Pro 29:20 Do you see a man who speaks hastily? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Ecc 5:2 Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

8. Ni Oruko Jesu, mi o ni so isokuso! I will not misspeak! I will not talk gibberish! I will calm down!
9. From now on, I will not be impulsive, I will think it through before I do it!

ISV – Pro 18:13 Whoever answers before listening is both foolish and shameful.

10. I, (Insert name) will not be a fool. I will listen carefully before opening my mouth.
11. I will not open my mouth prematurely and be a disgrace!

2Sa 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God.
12. Even when I am happy and celebrating, Lord, help me to be careful. Help me to be focused and not make mistakes.
13. At the peak of my breakthroughs, I will not be careless. I will not be stupid. I will not take it for granted.
14. In the name of Jesus, “ayo o ni pa mi” Excessive joy will not kill me! Joy will not destroy me!
