About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WE, AS CHRISTIANS, HAVE A JOB TO DO AND WE CAN'T DO IT IF WE ARE WRAPPED UP IN OUR OWN PROBLEMS. WE THINK THEY ARE SO BAD THAT WE CAN'T GET OUT FROM UNDER THEM. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THIS SITUATION? WELL, I HAVE AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT TRUSTING IN JESUS IS YOUR WAY OUT. THIS IS HOW WE CAN GET OUR PROBLEMS SOLVED. HE SAYS TO ASK AND TO CAST OUR CARES ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR US. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 16:24 "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." IS THIS YOU? HAVE YOU NOT ASKED? HE EVEN SAYS HE WANTS OUR JOY TO BE FULL. THAT JOY COMES WHEN OUR PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. HE LOVES US AND WHEN WE HURT, HE HURTS, AND DON'T THINK IT DOESN'T HURT HAVING YOUR HOUSE FORECLOSED ON OR WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR FOOD FOR THE MONTH. HE KNOWS ALL OF THIS AND ALL HE WANTS US TO DO IS TRUST HIM AND THAT TAKES FAITH IN BELIEVING THAT WHAT HE SAYS, HE WILL DO, WHEN WE ASK.
HE SAYS MANY TIMES TO ASK AND HE WILL DO IT. JUST LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS IN THE VERSES BELOW.
MATTHEW 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. YOU CAN SEE THAT HE DIDN'T SAY "IT MIGHT BE GIVEN YOU" OR "YOU MIGHT FIND" OR "KNOCK AND IT MIGHT BE OPENED".
MATTHEW 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. HAVE YOU TRIED AGREEING WITH SOMEONE THAT YOUR PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED? HE EVEN SAYS THAT GOD, HIS FATHER, WILL DO IT FOR US.
MATTHEW 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU.
JOHN 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. FATHER GOD, HIMSELF, WILL BE GLORIFIED WHEN JESUS DOES IT. THAT IS POWERFUL.
JOHN 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. AGAIN, HE DOESN'T SAY "HE MIGHT" DO IT, HE SAYS HE WILL DO IT.
JOHN 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. WE JUST CAN'T PLAY AT BEING A CHRISTIAN, WE MUST ABIDE IN HIM AND STAY IN HIS WORD.
SATAN LOVES TO SEE US WITH PROBLEMS AND WILL CREATE THEM FOR US IF WE LET HIM. HE KNOWS OUR PROBLEMS ARE DISTRACTIONS AND SOMETIMES KEEPS US FROM THINKING ON THE WORD OF GOD. DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. THE BIBLE SAYS IN JAMES 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." TELL HIM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE. BIND HIM. JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 18:18 "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." WE HAVE THE POWER AND WE ALL SHOULD DO IT.
SO, IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, DON'T KEEP WORRYING ABOUT THEM, TURN EVERYTHING OVER TO JESUS. GET WITH HIM IN PRAYER AND ASK. HE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF YOU IF YOU WILL JUST LET HIM. AND REMEMBER, HIS TIMING IS PERFECT. DON'T GET CONCERNED IF IT IS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF IN YOUR TIMELINE. HE SEES THE BIG PICTURE. WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST HIM.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
