Fear is exhausting. I think we can all
agree on that, whether werealize it or not. It affects so
much more than how we feel. Itaffects us in so many areas of
our lives. Just think of it likemaybe if you've seen those
demonstrations, where peopleshow how liquid can get in
(00:58):
between different spaces, likerocks and sand. Fear is very
similar, it's fluid. It movesthrough our thought life through
our emotions, through ourspirituality, just like that,
that fluid moves so fast it canbe get in between all kinds of
(01:19):
rocks and crevices and in placesof your heart and your mind and
your soul that you didn't evenknow were there. That fear can
infiltrate your entire thoughtlife, all of your emotions.
And today, I'm pretty sure ifyou're listening to this, you've
had enough, and so have I. Sotoday we're going to start this
(01:44):
campaign. God is calling us tolevel up, he is holding out his
hand helping us to rise up sothat we can level up. God is
showing us what's going onbehind the scenes of the enemy's
battle that he is waging againstus. I want to empower you today
(02:10):
and equip you. And I want toshare with you today what God
has shown me. And I think it canhelp you where you are if you
are sick and tired of fear,getting in the way of you,
living your life, and livingyour life to the full potential
(02:30):
for your God. Then this is ashow for you.
We are starting this campaign.
We're going to win back our joy.

friends and our communities. Somy friend today is the day grab

some coffee, tea, whatever it isyou're drinking, we're going to
get down into this. It's gotime. Let's do it.
Worth It! Intro (03:03):
Welcome to worth it. The podcast where we
answer anxiety, deflate fear andshut down shame because ain't no
woman got time for that you weremade to thrive. My mission is to
help you get deeply rooted withGod and reclaim your weapon that
the enemy of God has been usingagainst you. After going to
battle for my own mind. Threeyears ago, I realized that there
(03:26):
is a war going on for our minds.
A battle that begins with how wethink says you have much more
control than you realize. Witheach episode, you'll learn how
to fight back and become moreconfident and the truth that God
already knows you are worth it.
I'm Michelle Remington,Christian mindset coach, thought
(03:47):
strategist and warrior Mama.
Grab your sword data of theking. It's time to unleash your
inner warrior princess.
Michelle Remington (04:03):
Welcome back. Warrior. Yes, this is like
warrior training today. And youhave shown up so you got some
victory that's about to happenright here. Congratulations. I'm
so so blessed to be goingthrough this victory with you.
So let's get to it. I've want tostart by giving you a little
backstory into how I got startedon this particular subject. So
(04:28):
for the last few days, I've justreally been struggling and
getting frustrated with myselfabout not being able to get what
I needed done. So the not so oldfriend started back up in my
mind like, you're so worthless.
Why do you even try? You're justa failure. And I was like, Oh,
(04:48):
great. Here we go. Again, whichis a common thought as we're
going through this journey ofretraining. In our mind, and
sometimes we forget to havegrace and mercy with ourselves.
So there I was thinking, Oh,great, here we go again, with
But in that moment, a lot ofthings happened. So in that
(05:12):
these thoughts. And then thatprompted me to get even more
frustrated with myself, becauseI'm like, haven't I been working
moment, I kicked out the fear,yes. But also in that moment, I
on myself with this? Why is thishappening? I am such a failure.
And I was going through all thisgetting ready to go. And then
the last thought, as I walkedout the door, was I am just a
was able to see that. All ofthat work, that I was boohoo and
(05:33):
failure. And as I'm getting inthe car, I'm thinking, Okay,
great. Now I have the whole carride, to sit there and think
about that wasn't working, allof a sudden kicked into action.
about how much of a failure Iam. I'm a horrible mother. I'm a
horrible wife. I'm a horriblehuman being. Why do people even
deal with me? Everybody musthate me. Any of this sound
And all of that work that I'vebeen doing on myself to tell
familiar? I mean, yeah, yeah.
It's, it's the same old game.
(05:56):
And so I'm driving down theroad. And all of a sudden, I
myself the truth about who Godsays I am. All of a sudden it
like go into mama bear mode. AndI'm like, on now You ain't know,
this is stopping now. I am sickand tired of giving in to this
kicked into gear. And I waslike, Okay, this is it. I'm not
fear. Because what this fearprompts is then for me to break
myself down. It's just thisvicious cycle, I am sick and
(06:19):
tired of it. And I spoke to thatfear. And I'm like, you know
what, get out, shut up, stoptalking. I don't want to hear
backing down. Nope, you're done,you're done. I praise God for
from you anymore. Get out, packyour stuff. I never want to see
again. Now, I had never donethat before. I had never just,
that moment, because God hasgiven me an understanding of how
you know, literally talked tothat fear, and kicked it out.
(06:45):
the brain works. And that I havedifferent patterns and behaviors
that my brain has been playingand relying upon, and been on
(07:09):
autopilot with for years. And Ijust need to remember to have
grace and mercy with myself,because it's gonna take time.
(07:30):
And that's gonna take grace andmercy to overcome. But as you go
through, and each victory youhave is you seeing the fruits of
(07:54):
your labor is beautiful thing ispretty awesome, actually.
So I praise God, for showing meall of that and for helping me
to get stronger and stronger ashe shows me the truth of who he
(08:16):
is, and who he says I am. That'show fast this can work. It can
literally be within a splitsecond, because I was beating
myself down, calling myself afailure, and actually affirming
all these horrible lies that Iwas believing about myself. And
then the next minute mama bearsteps and be like, Oh, no, no, I
(08:37):
know the truth. You're not gonnalie to me anymore. Hmm. Same
thing can happen to you. Samething can happen to you. Maybe
you've even had some momentslike that before. Every time
that you are able to overcome anegative thought, a lie about
(08:59):
yourself that you've beenbelieving. Every time that
you're able to regain control isa victory, and you need to
celebrate it like that. It is avictory. You are victorious
girl. You are victory us. I'msure there's a song. There's all
kinds of songs about victory,but I won't sing to you right
(09:20):
now.
But this is where I was. And itwas just so, so frustrating to
see myself going back to that,but then so exhilarating. That's
how fast you can see thevictory. And this is where my
thrive framework comes in. Soyou want to start with seven
steps. Sounds like a lot, butthis goes in a quick succession
(09:43):
here. So the first thing is,whenever you have that negative
emotion, that negative thoughtor that fear or that worry or
anxiety that comes into yourmind, ask yourself, Is it true?
And the answer is going to beno. And the reason why I know
that is because Fear is usuallyabout something that hasn't
(10:04):
happened yet. Okay? So when webegin to have that anxiety or
have that fear, we're actuallygiving power to something that
hasn't actually happened yet andmay never happen. So it's
wasted. Thought space. It's,it's wasted emotions. So ask
yourself, Is it true?
(10:26):
Number two, what is God's wordsay, you can do a quick search
with your computer Bible app orsomething like that. Or maybe
God just pops a verse into yourmind. And you can just find a
verse that correlates with thatfear, that anxiety, that
negative thought, whatever itis, what does God's word say
(10:50):
about it?
And number three, rebuke, andreverse. Okay. So basically, you
are rebuking that thought,because you've already
established that that's not thetruth. So you can rebuke that
that thought. So for instance,when I was thinking, I am a
failure, okay. So I can easilysay, I am not a failure, I
(11:13):
rebuke that thought in the nameof Jesus, because through God, I
have succeeded in many, manythings in my life, and I will
continue to succeed in my life.
So you see what I did there, Irebuked and I reversed, it's
that simple. And if you want totake a step further, you can
(11:34):
even write that down on a card,or put it in your phone or write
it in your journal, wherever youwant to put it. So you are
writing it down, you are readingit, you are saying it, and you
are hearing it, quadrupleWhammy, there is power in that
(11:54):
because you are then making adeclaration. And that's
something that you want to letthat become a habit in your life
to rebuke and reverse falsebeliefs or false thoughts that
you are having, we've become soused to being controlled by our
(12:16):
minds, but God really created usto control our minds not be can
be controlled by the mind.
Number four, check your gates,super important. So my pastor
always says check your gates,your gates, just like in
scriptures is your eyes, yourears, your mouth, your nose, and
(12:42):
your feelers, your fingers. Soall of your senses, your senses
are your gates, and you want toreally take more control over
what you allow to influence youbecause everything that you take
in, you are being influenced by,but because God created us to
(13:08):
control our mind, you have theability, and you are equipped to
control what it is you allow toinfluence you. So whether it be
controlling what you watch,controlling what you listen to,
maybe you need to do some kindof fast there, to really give
(13:32):
yourself some time to gatheryour thoughts and just kind of
reset. That's always a greatidea.
Number five, trust check. So oneever you have that negative
thought, emotion, or youranxiety or fear or something
like that, examine withinyourself, if that there is a
(13:55):
trust issue with God, in that,that might be something that you
need to work on. And that'sanother way to turn that fear on
its head. Because the enemy maybe trying to mess with you, or
because of the things that youhave let in your gates may be
coming back to try to mess withyou. But then if you take that,
(14:17):
turn it on its head and use thatto help yourself draw closer to
God. It's a win.
Number six, remember where Godhas brought you from? Because
usually those fears when you'reanswering that first question,
you may already have answeredthis question of where God has
(14:40):
brought you from. It'sremembering how God has been
faithful in your life. Thesituation's he's brought you
through the places that he'sbrought you from, how much
you've grown spiritually. Takeall of that into account.
And number seven In, immerse andfeast in God's word, you have
(15:07):
the ability to create yourenvironment of everything that
influences you, in your life,around your house, your office,
in your car, all of your livingspaces, you can put God's Word
Up to encourage you, just likeyou can check your gates just
(15:29):
make that decision of whatyou're going to let in what
you're going to let influenceyou.
And you can also cater yoursocial media feeds to a healthy
mindset to a healthy heart. Idid this a while ago, and it
really turned my social mediainto a tool for myself, because
(15:50):
there's all kinds of people thatare living for God that are
putting out godly, encouragingcontent. And rather than opening
up your social media and seeinga picture of somebody that has
altered themselves with somekind of filter, or seeing
something vulgar, or somethingthat you normally wouldn't
(16:12):
willingly put in front ofyourself, you're able to
actually cater your social mediato be a tool for your growth.
If you don't cater your socialmedia, to your lifestyle and who
you are, then you're lettingthat social media influence you,
(16:33):
when you can be using it as atool. And as you use it. In that
way, you're able to be more ofan encouragement to others,
And as you practice this thriveframework, I am praying, and I'm
because you're gonna start tosee a difference in the rest of
hoping that you will begin tosee that God created you with
your life. It's just it's one ofyour gates, it's one way that
you can positively influenceyour eye gates in your ear
(16:54):
something to give, and thatsomething can help build up his
gates.
people and his kingdom. Now, ofcourse, that can complete his
Lord, Jesus, you are so amazing.
And I am just completely flooredvictory on his own. Yet, as the
bride of Christ, we can stepinto the role of a helpmeet.
After all, we are the bride ofChrist. So as we step into that
role of helpmeet, we get to helpGod with the gifts that He has
(17:17):
given us to see a greater returnby the revelation that you
provided for us today. And INevertheless, they have endured,
they haven't been overcome, butin His Kingdom.
(17:50):
pray God, that you would helpeach person hearing this, to
open their eyes, their ears,their hearts, their mind, help
them to see your vision, helpthem to see it through your
eyes. And I pray God, that youwould shield them, put a hedge
of protection around them, asthey come to you in earnest
(18:13):
prayer, Lord, you know howbruised they are, you know, the
wear and the tear that they'veexperienced, and you know how
much they have adored.
by your grace and your mercy,they have overcome God. And I
(18:34):
praise you for that. I thankyou, God for that victory. I
think it's amazing that we canbe walking in victory and not
even realize it because our mindis being distracted by the
strategy of the enemy. So Ipray, Lord, that You would open
our eyes, our minds or hearts.
Help us to see the victory thatwe have right now. Help us to
(18:56):
see this journey, this battlethrough your eyes God, I pray,
Lord, that You would surroundeach person with your people.
And I pray, Lord, that those whowould try to dissuade them from
following you, and changingtheir life in order to get
closer to you and influencingtheir families and their
(19:16):
communities. I pray, Lord, thatyou just set them aside. We
don't know the plans that youhave for them, but you do.
Help each person hearing thiswith that hedge of protection
around them and shield theirheart and their mind. equip them
and anoint them, Lord, witheverything that they need to
continue on this journey. to notonly be your help me, but also
(19:38):
be your worker your witness, totheir families, to their
churches, to their communities.
God right now you are openingthe door wider for us to see
everything that's going on. It'stime to get to work on
ourselves, in our families andas we work on ourselves, and not
in a selfish way. But as we workon ourselves, to prepare
(20:01):
ourselves, to be better used byyou in your kingdom, that with
that preparation, Lord, we willbe able to see the fruits of our
labor, in ourselves, but also inour families in our communities.
I thank you, Lord, for openingour hearts, our eyes, our minds,
to hear you and to understandyou. And I pray, Lord, that You
(20:26):
would help each person hearingthis make the time that you
would help them to have thattime when they make it help them
to have that time they need toreally connect with you, and to
make the declarations that theyneed to make income, take that
first step with you. Every day,Lord, we have a new opportunity
(20:48):
to take a first step with you,because each day you are
developing us, you're peelingoff another layer. And I pray,
Lord, that You would help eachperson hearing this, to just lay
themselves open completely toyour Lord, everything that they
can see, and that they can't seethat they know and that they
don't know about themselves.
(21:09):
I pray, Lord, that You wouldhelp them to submit every single
part of themselves to you.
Because as we give ourselves toyou, and submit to you, every
part of us that we know and thatwe don't know, we may not
realize it, but because we havegiven you, every part of us,
you're working in thebackground. And I thank you for
that, God, you're working forsuch a time as this. And the
(21:30):
beautiful thing is that there'smany moments like that in our
lifetime. If we can truly seeit. There's so many moments that
we can have such a time as this.
I praise Your holy name Jesus,and I thank you for this
victory. It's in your preciousand Your holy name, Jesus we
(21:53):
pray, Amen. Amen.

you've even had some momentslike that before. Every time
that you are able to overcome anegative thought, a lie about
(08:59):
yourself that you've beenbelieving. Every time that
you're able to regain control isa victory, and you need to
celebrate it like that. It is avictory. You are victorious
girl. You are victory us. I'msure there's a song. There's all
kinds of songs about victory,but I won't sing to you right
(09:20):
now.
But this is where I was. And itwas just so, so frustrating to
see myself going back to that,but then so exhilarating. That's
how fast you can see thevictory. And this is where my
thrive framework comes in. Soyou want to start with seven
steps. Sounds like a lot, butthis goes in a quick succession
(09:43):
here. So the first thing is,whenever you have that negative
emotion, that negative thoughtor that fear or that worry or
anxiety that comes into yourmind, ask yourself, Is it true?
And the answer is going to beno. And the reason why I know
that is because Fear is usuallyabout something that hasn't
(10:04):
happened yet. Okay? So when webegin to have that anxiety or
have that fear, we're actuallygiving power to something that
hasn't actually happened yet andmay never happen. So it's
wasted. Thought space. It's,it's wasted emotions. So ask
yourself, Is it true?
(10:26):
Number two, what is God's wordsay, you can do a quick search
with your computer Bible app orsomething like that. Or maybe
God just pops a verse into yourmind. And you can just find a
verse that correlates with thatfear, that anxiety, that
negative thought, whatever itis, what does God's word say
(10:50):
about it?
And number three, rebuke, andreverse. Okay. So basically, you
are rebuking that thought,because you've already
established that that's not thetruth. So you can rebuke that
that thought. So for instance,when I was thinking, I am a
failure, okay. So I can easilysay, I am not a failure, I
(11:13):
rebuke that thought in the nameof Jesus, because through God, I
have succeeded in many, manythings in my life, and I will
continue to succeed in my life.
So you see what I did there, Irebuked and I reversed, it's
that simple. And if you want totake a step further, you can
(11:34):
even write that down on a card,or put it in your phone or write
it in your journal, wherever youwant to put it. So you are
writing it down, you are readingit, you are saying it, and you
are hearing it, quadrupleWhammy, there is power in that
(11:54):
because you are then making adeclaration. And that's
something that you want to letthat become a habit in your life
to rebuke and reverse falsebeliefs or false thoughts that
you are having, we've become soused to being controlled by our
(12:16):
minds, but God really created usto control our minds not be can
be controlled by the mind.
Number four, check your gates,super important. So my pastor
always says check your gates,your gates, just like in
scriptures is your eyes, yourears, your mouth, your nose, and
(12:42):
your feelers, your fingers. Soall of your senses, your senses
are your gates, and you want toreally take more control over
what you allow to influence youbecause everything that you take
in, you are being influenced by,but because God created us to
(13:08):
control our mind, you have theability, and you are equipped to
control what it is you allow toinfluence you. So whether it be
controlling what you watch,controlling what you listen to,
maybe you need to do some kindof fast there, to really give
(13:32):
yourself some time to gatheryour thoughts and just kind of
reset. That's always a greatidea.
Number five, trust check. So oneever you have that negative
thought, emotion, or youranxiety or fear or something
like that, examine withinyourself, if that there is a
(13:55):
trust issue with God, in that,that might be something that you
need to work on. And that'sanother way to turn that fear on
its head. Because the enemy maybe trying to mess with you, or
because of the things that youhave let in your gates may be
coming back to try to mess withyou. But then if you take that,
(14:17):
turn it on its head and use thatto help yourself draw closer to
God. It's a win.
Number six, remember where Godhas brought you from? Because
usually those fears when you'reanswering that first question,
you may already have answeredthis question of where God has
(14:40):
brought you from. It'sremembering how God has been
faithful in your life. Thesituation's he's brought you
through the places that he'sbrought you from, how much
you've grown spiritually. Takeall of that into account.
And number seven In, immerse andfeast in God's word, you have
(15:07):
the ability to create yourenvironment of everything that
influences you, in your life,around your house, your office,
in your car, all of your livingspaces, you can put God's Word
Up to encourage you, just likeyou can check your gates just
(15:29):
make that decision of whatyou're going to let in what
you're going to let influenceyou.
And you can also cater yoursocial media feeds to a healthy
mindset to a healthy heart. Idid this a while ago, and it
really turned my social mediainto a tool for myself, because
(15:50):
there's all kinds of people thatare living for God that are
putting out godly, encouragingcontent. And rather than opening
up your social media and seeinga picture of somebody that has
altered themselves with somekind of filter, or seeing
something vulgar, or somethingthat you normally wouldn't
(16:12):
willingly put in front ofyourself, you're able to
actually cater your social mediato be a tool for your growth.
If you don't cater your socialmedia, to your lifestyle and who
you are, then you're lettingthat social media influence you,
(16:33):
when you can be using it as atool. And as you use it. In that
way, you're able to be more ofan encouragement to others,
And as you practice this thriveframework, I am praying, and I'm
because you're gonna start tosee a difference in the rest of
hoping that you will begin tosee that God created you with
your life. It's just it's one ofyour gates, it's one way that
you can positively influenceyour eye gates in your ear
(16:54):
something to give, and thatsomething can help build up his
gates.
people and his kingdom. Now, ofcourse, that can complete his
Lord, Jesus, you are so amazing.
And I am just completely flooredvictory on his own. Yet, as the
bride of Christ, we can stepinto the role of a helpmeet.
After all, we are the bride ofChrist. So as we step into that
role of helpmeet, we get to helpGod with the gifts that He has
(17:17):
given us to see a greater returnby the revelation that you
provided for us today. And INevertheless, they have endured,
they haven't been overcome, butin His Kingdom.
(17:50):
pray God, that you would helpeach person hearing this, to
open their eyes, their ears,their hearts, their mind, help
them to see your vision, helpthem to see it through your
eyes. And I pray God, that youwould shield them, put a hedge
of protection around them, asthey come to you in earnest
(18:13):
prayer, Lord, you know howbruised they are, you know, the
wear and the tear that they'veexperienced, and you know how
much they have adored.
by your grace and your mercy,they have overcome God. And I
(18:34):
praise you for that. I thankyou, God for that victory. I
think it's amazing that we canbe walking in victory and not
even realize it because our mindis being distracted by the
strategy of the enemy. So Ipray, Lord, that You would open
our eyes, our minds or hearts.
Help us to see the victory thatwe have right now. Help us to
(18:56):
see this journey, this battlethrough your eyes God, I pray,
Lord, that You would surroundeach person with your people.
And I pray, Lord, that those whowould try to dissuade them from
following you, and changingtheir life in order to get
closer to you and influencingtheir families and their
(19:16):
communities. I pray, Lord, thatyou just set them aside. We
don't know the plans that youhave for them, but you do.
Help each person hearing thiswith that hedge of protection
around them and shield theirheart and their mind. equip them
and anoint them, Lord, witheverything that they need to
continue on this journey. to notonly be your help me, but also
(19:38):
be your worker your witness, totheir families, to their
churches, to their communities.
God right now you are openingthe door wider for us to see
everything that's going on. It'stime to get to work on
ourselves, in our families andas we work on ourselves, and not
in a selfish way. But as we workon ourselves, to prepare
(20:01):
ourselves, to be better used byyou in your kingdom, that with
that preparation, Lord, we willbe able to see the fruits of our
labor, in ourselves, but also inour families in our communities.
I thank you, Lord, for openingour hearts, our eyes, our minds,
to hear you and to understandyou. And I pray, Lord, that You
(20:26):
would help each person hearingthis make the time that you
would help them to have thattime when they make it help them
to have that time they need toreally connect with you, and to
make the declarations that theyneed to make income, take that
first step with you. Every day,Lord, we have a new opportunity
(20:48):
to take a first step with you,because each day you are
developing us, you're peelingoff another layer. And I pray,
Lord, that You would help eachperson hearing this, to just lay
themselves open completely toyour Lord, everything that they
can see, and that they can't seethat they know and that they
don't know about themselves.
(21:09):
I pray, Lord, that You wouldhelp them to submit every single
part of themselves to you.
Because as we give ourselves toyou, and submit to you, every
part of us that we know and thatwe don't know, we may not
realize it, but because we havegiven you, every part of us,
you're working in thebackground. And I thank you for
that, God, you're working forsuch a time as this. And the
(21:30):
beautiful thing is that there'smany moments like that in our
lifetime. If we can truly seeit. There's so many moments that
we can have such a time as this.
I praise Your holy name Jesus,and I thank you for this
victory. It's in your preciousand Your holy name, Jesus we
(21:53):
pray, Amen. Amen.
