Hi, welcome to Dr. Colbert's Divine Health YouTube channel and podcast. I'm Mary Colbert. And I'm Dr. Colbert. Of course. And I have to tell you, this is going to be a powerful, powerful teaching today. We're very excited. This is an area in which so many people are absolutely battling with today. And Don, that is depression, anxiety. It's fatigue, Mary. Fatigue, fatigue, fatigue. This is the most common complaint I hear almost every day in my practice. I have no energy. I'm exhausted.
Again, years ago, we used to go to Benny Hinn Crusades and we helped in Benny Hinn Crusades. And so many that were traveling with him were exhausted. So when he was singing the hymn, you know, I exalt thee. Mary would be so tired, she'd be singing, I'm exhausted. Remember those days? I remember those days. We were exhausted back then. But then we learned what to do and what not to do. We were burning all ends.
I'm telling you, and I know so many people relate to that, that especially right now in the time in which we are all living, you know, we're hearing about wars and rumors of worse wars. So it's pooling on a lot of our energy. It is. The news of what's going on right now. And you wonder what's going to happen next. This is a tough time to be living in. Sure it is. So I know, I understand why people's energy is low and they just, you know, to fight the battle.
But the enemy does this so you don't have the energy to fight him and stand off with him. So he wants to keep you tired. He wants to keep you worn out because when you are done, that's when you're the most vulnerable. Exactly. But there's a few key principles people need to understand. And this is what I've learned because I've suffered from these. I've overcome these. And most fatigue is due to three main things. That's what I found. Number one, the most common is anxiety.
Anxiety is an energy stealer. This is spending $10 worth of energy usually for a two cent problem. Exactly. And again, I suffered from anxiety for years. And so I got a revelation. I got a revelation of God's word of casting all of my cares on him because he cares for me. I was casting a few on him, but I had to learn to cast all my cares on him. The what ifers. Yeah. What ifs. What ifs. What ifs. The catastrophizers. What if this happens? I had to stop that thinking, that way of thinking.
We're going to teach you how to do this. The second main reason for fatigue is insomnia. And I was a what ifer and I was an insomniac, Mary. I'd just lay in bed thinking, worst case scenario, especially in the late 90s when my son was a teenager. And teens will age you if you don't learn to cast your cares on him.
And what happened, he was in rebellion and he would sneak out and he would cut the alarm wire so that he could sneak out of his window on the second floor and shimmy down a tree and get out and then go raise hell. Okay. And I would worry, would he be drunk or would he be in an accident or what would happen? And we had to learn again, I had to learn, Mary had it. You had that reassurance, but I had to learn to cast all my care.
So insomnia, I had to learn to sleep and trust God because he gives his beloved sleep according to Psalms one twenty seven two. And you are his beloved. It says in Ephesians one six, we are accepted in the beloved. Jesus is a beloved, but we're in him. So we're the beloved, which is amazing. So he gives his beloved sleep. Yeah. And the other thing I had to do is I had to learn how to manage and overcome stress. Those are the three main things I had to learn to literally overcome stress.
I wrote a book about 20 years ago on stress less. It's impossible to get out of the stress, but we can learn to live and overcome stress because Jesus told us, he says, in the world, you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. I have learned to activate joy and laughter because when you activate joy and laughter, stress literally melts away. And that's why every day I'm making a point. You get 10 belly laughs a day. We're going to show you how to do that.
But those are the key three reasons why most people are fatigued. You got overcome anxiety. You got overcome insomnia. And you got to learn how to manage stress. We'll teach how to do that today. I hope you're hearing what he's saying because this is going to be a very important teaching today on your energy. You want to have more energy. We're going to give you the major keys how to increase your energy. It's like, you know what?
It's amazing, Don. We are, I like to use the automobiles that we are similar to automobiles. We're all running lives with our foot to the pedal. And then you hit the brake. And you hit the gas. And you hit the brake. That's running on adrenaline. And adrenaline is a very expensive fuel. You're spending $10 worth of energy for a two-set prop. And everybody knows that when you hit that pedal, you just wasted a whole lot of gas. Well, guess what? God has designed our bodies with similar patterns.
Our accelerator is our adrenaline that's pumped out from our adrenal glands. And so many people are exhausted and have adrenal fatigue because they have squandered all of their adrenaline on meaningless issues. Exactly. And so- Learning $10 worth of energy for a two-set prop. And when you really do need your energy, either at work or your job or taking care of the kids and doing the things, you hit the gas. Well, that's like burning out your passing gear.
I used to have this little car and it was just a little six-cylinder, but it had a passing gear. And I would stop the accelerator and that passing gear would kick in and I could pass most cars. But then I used it so much, it eventually burned out. And that's pretty much what we're doing because our adrenals are like our passing gear. And the adrenals are two little glands the size of your thumbs.
Those are your thumbs that sit right above your kidneys and they pump out these powerful adrenal hormones that literally give us the energy in cases of emergency that enable people to do superhuman feats of strength. That's why you hear stories of little grannies that are 70 or 80 that are able to lift a car off someone when the jack has slipped and has pinned their son or something underneath.
A little granny is there are stories that's been told of this superhuman feats because adrenaline kicks in or how people are able to break a car window and get out of the car when it's submerged in the water. There's this incredible strength that shoots through you when this adrenaline goes off. But what happens with continual use of this, we burn our adrenals out and we develop adrenal fatigue.
But before we get into this, I want to paint the picture of what the Word of God says because the Word of God is the key to everything, to everything in life. And I love this in Mark 4 verse 18. And Jesus has given a parable of a seed and the sower who goes out and sows seed. And the sower sows seed, some falls on the wayside soil and some falls on the stony soil and some falls on the thorny soil. Now what's interesting, there's three soils and these soils bring no fruit.
And then there's three good soils that bring 30, 60, and 100 full return when sown. So we've got three bad soils. Wayside and wayside is when he sowed it on the soil and the birds came and they divided the seed. So literally immediately the enemy comes and seals the seed. And then the stony soil is the seed grows or plants but then there's no depth of soil. So it just spurts up a little plant but then when the sun comes out it literally dies because it has no root.
But then the other soil is and the soil that he really paints the picture is the soil among the thorns. And what he says in verse Mark 4 verse 18, and these seeds are they which are sown among thorns such as hear the word and the cares of this world, cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things enter in and choke the word and it becomes unfruitful.
Now the cares of the world are the stresses of the world and then the deceitfulness of riches, working, working, working day and night to make more money and it drains your adrenals and so many people turn out to be. The sin of more. Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life is what comes in and it chokes the word because they end up spending all their energy on chasing riches and not going after the word of God which is the key.
And then literally the most important thing is leading people to the Lord. That's the most important thing we can do. And then the desire, the lusts or desires of other things, we become thing, things, wanting things. They say they're exercising their faith for a bigger car, a bigger house and they end up spending so much energy and stress.
And many times marriages fail and their health fails and they spend all this money trying to get their health back and yet if they had just gotten into God's rhythm. Well see and a lot of it, you know, Don, we can relate because back early in your medical school you were writing books. Oh yes, way too much. I was a human doing. Human doing, people were asking us, you know, to speak and you're traveling with pastor all over the world doing crusades and stuff.
And we were so caught up in doing more and more that we weren't able to give the attention to our son. Not even that but our son. And my son. We couldn't give the attention to him that he rightfully deserves. So what does he do? He acts out to get our attention. And he did. And then in doing that it caused us stress and draining where it's not going to go. Draining where it's, you see how it works? So we look back now and I love my son and what he's doing today.
He learned from mom and dad's mistakes. He did. He's there all the time for his three sons. I mean he is the best dad in the world. His kids have his full attention. And what incredible kids they are. What incredible kids they are. And that's what happened to us though. But we learn and then you learn from your parents and then you pass on and then hopefully they will learn the balance as they do their kids. But we got caught into that trap of more. Exactly. We know firsthand we're guilty.
But the key is this. When you have the cares of the world, deceitfulness of riches, chasing after riches and things and the lust of other things, they enter in and they choke the word. They do. And then when I realize anxiety, stress will choke the word and will not yield any fruit. These are the soils that brought no fruit. No 30, no 60, no 100 full return. And again you don't want to get to heaven and then you have no fruit. There's been no fruit to your efforts.
You've certainly you've you've sought after riches and fame and cares of the world and bigger homes and bigger nicer autos and airplanes. Again, we need to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. That is the key. And that way we'll stay in God's rhythm. The key to overcoming stress is so simple, Mary. Stay in his rhythm. I love that Don. God gave you that revelation years ago about Don you're out of my rhythm. And I was I mean I remember the day you were sharing with me about it.
And I was like that is so true. God has a rhythm and it's. He doesn't get in a hurry. Jesus never got in a hurry even when Lazarus was sick. Remember that is him. That's where he lives. I where he wants you to live and joy and activating joy. The best thing for preventing stress is staying in his rhythm. Don't get ahead. Don't seek after riches and more things. Forget about the things. The only thing you need to focus on is bearing fruit. Remember the fruit is the key. And what's the best fruit?
Well, the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. According to Galatians five verse twenty two, twenty three. But also the fruit of souls saving people, leading them to the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Salvation. That's the fruit that is going to be wanting to see in your life. And most Christians can't even lead someone to the Lord. Well, the important thing is your light. You've got to let your light shine before men.
Well, that's joy. They see joy, smile, joy in your face, a light, bright light. I see I can tell in the eyes. I look in the eyes. I see the light. The light comes from having energy. Yes. Absolutely. So many preachers. Once a preacher gets to 70, they're burnt crisp. I'm telling all the cares of their people in the church, all the burials people. So many churches aren't having many marriages. They're having medley burials and people are getting older.
And so many pastors are burnt out because they're saying, I have no joy. I'm sick of doing burials. I'm sick of it. All I do is spend time going to the hospital, doing sick visits. Right. So number one, you've got to learn to be led by the Spirit. Yes. And not by need and not by greed. Amen. You have got to be led by Him. Led by the Spirit and getting in His rhythm. That's it. I had to learn to get in His rhythm. Slow down. Listen to the voice of God. Get in His word.
First thing I do is I listen to the words. And learn to say no. Amen. You have to learn to say no. That was one of the hardest things for me to do because I wanted to please people. I wanted to help them. But again, one of the hardest things to do is to say no and people will push you to say yes. And you've got to be assertive and say, no, I'm getting into God's rhythm. I'm unable to do that. I can't help you. I used to help people move and I started having back pain.
And I said, you know, I can't be helping everyone move. I want to help people. But this was when I was younger, of course. But then what happens, their burden becomes your burden. And then all of a sudden, we're going to talk about back pain later. But back pain is so common because people are lifting. Over 50, you shouldn't be doing lifting or moving. Let someone else do that for you. Younger, but built. Yes, absolutely. Strong back. Don't you be doing that stuff?
And most people don't know how to lift properly. Won't teach them how to do that. Probably one of the most powerful things that we have had to learn is to say no. Yeah, absolutely. Once you learn your limits of what you can do, what you can't do. And one thing we had to learn was about turning off this phone. Absolutely right. Literally turn it off because we know so many people all over the world, you can imagine, with Doncy and his patients and stuff.
So we have a huge number of people who know us. Right. And they need your advice. They need it right away. And they call and they ring. It's nonstop. And I have to tell you, during COVID, I remember a couple of years ago, during COVID, when I tell you my personal phone did not stop, it rang continually from people. In the hospital. I need Dr. Colbert's help. Tell us what to do. I need your advice. I need your advice. We need a prescription called in now. Called in right now.
So during that period of time, I remember I said, that's it, I'm done. I can't, it was burning me out. I remember I could feel my energy just pulling out of me. Because he turns his phone off and everybody's calling mine. So I remember just remember one day getting up going, that's it, I'm done. Everybody has to go through the office. That if they want him, I don't care who they are, they have to call the office. And we have to figure out if we have time to talk to them. Because we were burnt.
Oh, we were burnt out. We were burnt crisp. And you can't be everything to everybody. You just can't. You want to, but you can't. Or you will suffer. Right, or you'll suffer. And those that are really the most important to you, like your children, your grandchildren, your spouse. You neglect. You neglect them because you're spent and that's a mistake. That's what happened. That's what happened to me.
But probably the most important thing after getting into God's rhythm and learning to hear the voice of God is learning to cast all your cares on him. Now, Mary, this became a revelation to me. I didn't have this in my younger years. I wish I had had this. And I know very few preachers or teachers even teach this. But 1 Peter 5, 7, Peter said, casting all your care upon him for he care for you. That's all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns once and for all on him.
Once and for all. And leave them there. Now, again, what we first have to do is repent for caring these cares. Because he told us to cast them on to him. And we have to ask God to forgive us for caring these cares because these cares will cause anxiety, it'll drain your adrenals, and it'll leave you with adrenal fatigue and exhaustion and disease. So we have to literally leave them there and then forgive ourselves and ask God to forgive us.
And then realize that worry drains us of all our energy. It's one of the greatest energy thieves, energy stealers there is, is anxiety. That's so good, Don. And anxiety is literally a sin because he says to don't worry or be anxious about anything. And this is in Philippians, it actually says, don't be anxious or be worried about anything. That's Philippians 4, 6. And he says, but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.
And then we're supposed to leave them there. And then he says, the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind on Christ Jesus. So we've got to just leave them there and then just, that's it, give them to God. So here also, we have to promise to never worry again and commit to casting all our cares, all your cares on the Lord every single day. We have to make that commitment. And I had to learn to do that. It's not just a one-time deal. You have to do it every day.
And don't refuse to care and say, nope, I've given those to the Lord. I'm not going to carry those again. And you've got to practice it until it becomes a habit. And I had to learn how to practice that. I said, I'm not going to carry that care anymore. Now there's a very important key here that we all have to learn to practice. And the word says having done all, having done all stand.
Now we understand there are people that are going to watch this YouTube that have children that have terrible diagnosis, spouses who have terrible, you may be facing a health crisis yourself. We're not downplaying the seriousness of things that people are dealing with in their life. You could be facing foreclosures. You could be facing a divorce. We know all of these life challenges that we all get hit with at one point or another in our life.
So we're not downplaying the life of bad things happening because we know they are happening all around us. But see, God came, his word says, I have come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. Now you hang on to his promise. So what you do is you get the word of God and his promise and you hold on to that promise that he's given you as you go through the storms of life. The promises he wants you to have joy. The promises he wants you to have peace.
He wants you to have these things. So first just get the revelation that this is his desire no matter what you're going through. Like he used the perfect example of the disciples getting in the boat and they had life threatening issues going on. The waves were crashing in over the boat. They literally thought they were going to sink. And my only thought is the only reason that was so fearful is probably most of them didn't know how to swim.
So they are in a life threatening situation and Jesus is sound asleep. Sound asleep. He wants you to be at peace. Whatever you're going through, receive the peace of God. Receive his peace. It's here. It's for you. And he wants you to receive it. The same peace that laid in the bottom of the boat. Sound asleep is the peace God wants you to have no matter what you're walking through. No matter what you're walking through. Now I love the translation too.
You know where he says don't be anxious or worried about anything but by everything. By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God and then we're supposed to leave them there. And then it says in this translation his peace will come in like a garrison of soldiers into a turbulent country to quieten us. Isn't that amazing? Like a garrison of soldiers will come in. I love that. In a turbulent country. I love that.
And also we're supposed to take Colossians 3.15. I love this scripture because this literally paints the picture. Let the peace of God, the peace of God rule in your hearts. We need to. Most people that in the cares of the world and anxiety. Rule their hearts. Rule their hearts. We're to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. And how do we do that? By casting every one of our cares on him. And then James 4.7 says submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he'll flee from you.
We are to resist worry and anxiety and stress. Literally because that invites the devil in. Also Ephesians 4.27 says neither give place to the devil. You see anxiety and worry gives place to the devil. And sin. Oh absolutely. Disobedience. Sure. Because you're not trusting God. What happens when a person's worried and anxious? Without faith it's impossible to please God according to Hebrews 11.6. When we're in fear and anxiety and worry we are out of faith and we can't please God.
And we can't get our prayers answered. Absolutely and when you're living a lie and you know what the sin is. Nobody has to tell you because God's given you a conscience toward it. And no matter what people say around you is like oh it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. You know in the depths of your heart it's not okay. Whatever that sin is. And you know we don't have to point out the sin because you already know what the sin is. Because you're battling against that conscience of whatever it is.
Now when you stay in that state you can forget having peace. You can forget having peace. You can forget having energy. Any energy you get is fake energy. What we want to talk about is real energy. Caffeine. Yes real energy. Caffeine. I'm talking about real energy. Energy to live. Energy to be able. Overcoming energy. Overcoming energy. Being able to hear his voice. And to know that that's what he is leading you to do. Not demonic voices. Not demonic voices.
Too many Christians are hearing the wrong voice Mary. Wrong voices. The voice of the enemy. We want to hear that soft voice of the Holy Spirit. To lead you. Our comforter. Amen. Listen we're in turbulent times right now folks. We're in some tough, tough times. More though Don than you and I in our entire life. Oh absolutely. We're in right now. We've never seen the time. Never, ever. That we're walking in right now ever before. You see haters of Israel? Oh my goodness.
If you side with anyone who hates Israel you're siding against God. Again we've got to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That is the first. Critical. It's lack of knowing what the word says. Now God loves the Palestinians. God loves the Muslims. He loves the atheists. He loves them all. God loves them all. He does. He wants them all to live. But our job as believers of the light, the true light is to be a light to those that are in darkness.
And if your heart is dark, if you're battling darkness you can't be that bright light to show people. So before we go any further I just really felt a few minutes ago I want to lead you right now. I want you to pray with me. If you're struggling in this area go Mary I am tormented. I am tormented with fear. I can't sleep at night. My mind is completely consumed with worry. If that's you I want to pray with you right now.
I'm going to pray that the peace of God that passes your natural understanding will be imparted unto you so that you feel his peace and you walk in his peace. I want to do that right now. Before you do it 2 Timothy 1.7 says for God has not given you a spirit of fear but a power and love and a sound mind which means no anxiety, no depression, no stress. So you've got to receive that now. You've not been given a spirit of fear or anxiety but power and love and a sound mind.
Praise God. And also 1 John 4, 4 you are of God little children and have overcome them Satan and all his demons because greater is he that is in you than he which is the Holy Spirit and Jesus and God all in you than he that's in the world. So we're overcomers. You've got to know who you are in Christ. Go ahead. I agree. I agree. I agree.
I pray with you the most important thing is if you're watching me right now and you want the peace of God that passes your understanding beyond human understanding you have to know the Prince of Peace first. You have to invite him in and submit your life unto him fully unconditionally. No strings attached. You have to just ask him to come into your heart right now. Submit your life unto him right now and say Lord I don't know you the way this woman is talking about you but I want to know you.
I invite you into my heart right now. I ask you to flood my soul, flood my mind, flood my body right now. Come into me. I submit to you unconditionally. Take my life Lord. It is yours. Now if you've prayed that prayer you have every right to receive what I'm about to pray for you now. So Father I ask you that the peace of God that passes any human understanding to those that are watching me that are in desperate need to be at peace.
I speak to their troubled waters right now in the name of Jesus. I command you in the name of Jesus be at peace right now. Help them oh God to cast as they would a fish line that they would take a fish line and cast it into the sea. That they will take that care, that worry, that anxiety, that trouble, the problems, the voices they're hearing that in the name of Jesus they cast it right now in the name of Jesus into the sea and receive it. Say I receive it.
I receive this peace of God that passes right now I receive it in Jesus name. Now you're going to have to learn to cast every one of your cares. God's not going to do it. You've got to practice this and commit to it and forgive yourself for not doing it. Start practicing it. It's like a muscle. When you go to the gym I see little scrawny guys that come in and I see them there every day and their muscles get bigger and bigger. Within a year they've got big bulging muscles.
You'll have powerful faith muscles if you start learning how to cast all your cares and get into God's rhythm. Now we're out of time. You know what Don? I believe that there were people watching and I believe something happened. I believe the Spirit and God honored my prayer. I believe they received it and we want to hear from you. You say man I felt the prayer. I prayed with Mary. I want you to call our office. Call our office.
Tell our staff who you are and what happened because we've got some things we want to send to you to encourage you and strengthen you. We have tons of information we can support you with. What we're doing with anxiety, well again this is overcoming fatigue. We have a few things to help you. Number one is our brain's on focus. You want energy? This along with glutathione and our new adrenal booster are the three most important. Our brain's on focus. One scoop.
Now this is the most amazing supplement for focus and energy I've ever seen when combined with the glutathione four pumps a day or twice a day. And then with our adrenal booster one to two in the morning, one to two at noon. And these are the key things. We had our manufacturer, that was so funny, we just came back from a meeting with him. He said Mary I keep this on my desk. And he goes when I need that extra energy and that extra focus this is what I take.
He says it's like Limitless, the show Limitless. He says my brain is so sharp and focused. You can't believe it. He says it's like Adderall. He says it's like Adderall. This is her drug. It's all natural. It's all natural. It doesn't interfere with meds in any way so it's totally safe. It's all natural ingredients. But boy you talk about your young people needing energy and focus in school. Not only once a day, just do it once a day.
I like to do it especially in early afternoon because it gets me through my patients and my brain is really sharp and focused. Powerful, powerful. Our glutathione folks we're having a tough time keeping this in. It is so powerful with inflammation. And the flavor is getting better. We just improved the taste so if you've had it and you go well I wish you'd do something with that taste. We did. It's getting better and better. It's got to pass my palate.
