Topic: The Problem

What problem exists today God cannot fix? Cancer, AIDS, money, family strife? Satan has only negative power for us. Tragically, by the way we negatively think, we mistakenly and tragically think Satan is the one who has a warehouse full of positive power and great things for us. Problems come when we experience the love of God and we are still left suffering or wanting because of what we selfishly want. Is grace sufficient or do we need more than grace? The biggest problem for many people today is they don't want grace, they want the latest techno-gadget, they want liquor, they want drugs, they want sensual pleasure, or all of the above.

Do we need more than the love of God? No. However, many people today won't admit they only need the love of God. Do we need God to eliminate our problems or can we live with them? Well, yes we need to have our problems gone. However, we can, with God's love and grace, use our problems for God's glory as we also defeat the influence our problems have over us.

Do we have to put up with our problems or is the love of God a problem eliminator? Sometimes the love of God is a problem eliminator but as long as we have the problem then we need God's power to gain victory by first using the problem for God's glory. Subsequently, as we gain victory over our problem, we can live a great life in spite of the problem. Think about this…if the love of God through Christ is a problem eliminator then why was not Paul delivered? Paul was not delivered because sometimes in this life God does not solve the problems we want solved. We all need to grow up and get used to the idea the love of God is not always a problem eliminator in this life but the love of God IS a problem eliminator when we move to our new mansion in the sky.
