But God...

Exerpt from Pst Phil's article in the magazine. I can just picture him saying every word with awe and conviction!! Hahaha...medicine has been tasted before. But open wide, another booster dose cometh!

When problems get big, God can seem small. When things go bad, we often wonder why God let them happen. Bad things sometimes just happen in life. BUT GOD is able to reverse them and bring good out of bad.

When our problems seem impossible, panic and torment us. We can forget that God can do the impossible.

Jeremiah 2:32 says: "My people forget me" (MSG)

When problems hijack your faith, it's easy to believe they are more powerful than your God.

When you come to the end of yourself and have nothing left, you might think: "God has forgetten me and has left me."

The sheer weight of a problem can overwhelm our faith. If we focus on the problem anxiety and fear come, and faith disappears. But if we make the right choices, we make the opposite take place. We collapse our problems with faith.

Faith is a feeling. It's a minsdet, a spiritual emotion. That feeling changes our personal world and when we hold on to that feeling, refusing to lose it, we position ourselves in the world of miracles.

Nehemiah 4:14 says "Don't be afraid of the enemy! REMEMBER the Lord who is great and glorious and fight for your friends, your families and your homes! (NLT with emphasis)

We lose faith when whe focus on the problem rather than God. What are you think about? -- God's answers and promises , or the problems itself?

Negative situations shout for our attention ,but we choose to think on the answers rather than on the problems. It's a decision we make --- the decision to have faith in God and to believe that the problem will work out.

"Haeve Faith in God!"- Mark 11;22

The time to remember God is not when it's easy but when it's hard and we're facing and impossible problem.

"Thanks be to God, which always causeth us to triumph." 2 Cor 2:14 KJV.
