No Problem

God is not moved by your problem. He’s moved by your faith. Have you ever wondered why there is turmoil and trouble all around the world... and then wonder why God doesn’t stop it or fix it? Actually, He’s waiting for you! In fact, He put us in charge of this earth (He started with Adam) and He’s waiting for you to bring hope and healing to your world; the world that you live in... where you live, work and play. Problems are only opportunities in which we can bring God on the scene to fix them. He wants to use us to be His hands and feet to bring hope, help and healing to the world around us; our sphere of influence. If each of us would take responsibility for those in our sphere, we would change the whole world over! Truly, we would. The power of multiplication would go to work quickly. If we touch one person and that person touches one person and that person touches one person, we would very quickly touch many.

There has been a certain situation in my life that I’ve been burdened with for some time; it just didn’t seem to be improving or changing and I had become pretty discouraged about it. Just a few nights ago, I woke up with a phrase ringing through my mind...” You don’t have a problem. All you need is faith in God.” As I went back to sleep, I pondered that thought; a phrase I’d heard in the past few years. So, of course, I “googled” it and realized it was spoken by R.W. Shambach, an American televangelist, pastor, Word of Faith minister of the Word and author (born April 3, 1926 and passed away January 17, 2012), who had spoken those words. I knew this phrase was a word from God that I could stand on. As I’ve meditated on it and rested in faith over this situation, I’ve seen God working behind the scenes to cause it to come into line. Praise the Lord! Problems are not our problem. Our problem is that we don’t have eyes of faith to see the solution. We are looking through our natural eyes instead of seeing the situation through God’s eyes. God has the solution. God is the solution. He has every resource we need to solve the problem, yet we try to do things in our own natural, flesh which may work for a season but will end up burning us out and eventually failing.

We need to go to a new level. Our problems aren’t our problem. All we need is faith in God. If we can’t see that God has a solution, then we aren’t filled up with enough of His Word nor have we tuned our spiritual eyes and ears into His. In fact, when we try to “fix” our problems on our own, we actually are elevating our abilities above God’s abilities and saying we are God and not him! That is called idolatry... anything that is exalted over God is setting that as a “god” in our life. He says we should have no other gods before Him! The next time we have a problem, we can use our faith to move that mountain in our life! Faith is the substance or “title deed” of things hoped for. (Hebrews 11:1) We can take every promise to the bank, trusting that God will fulfill those promises! That’s faith! Turn the tables on your problems and see a solution every time! Have a very blessed week, dear readers.
