LOOK TO JESUS ​​AND NOT TO THE PROBLEM #2/4
EXAMPLE OF ABRAHAM

1. INTRODUCTION

The correct attitude of faith, in the act of faith, is to look to Jesus and not to the problem.

We should not look at:

-the problem;

-the size of the target/challenge;

-social and/or financial capacity;

-threats.

We should look to Jesus.

Faith is not ignoring the problem. Faith is, in the midst of adversity and/or challenge, looking to the Word of God/what Jesus says.

2. WHAT TO DO IN THE FACE OF A PROBLEM/CHALLENGE

Faced with a problem? Faced with a challenge? Faced with a target? Faced with stagnation? – Look to Jesus and not to the problem.

We should not be moved by feelings, emotions, pain, etc. – 2 Corinthians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:7

3. EXAMPLE OF ABRAHAM

Romans 4:18-22

Abraham knew he was old and his wife was barren.

Humanly speaking, I couldn’t have children. But Abraham didn’t pretend the problem didn’t exist or pay attention to it.

Abraham looked to God, to what He was telling him, and was able to have children.

If or when we have:

– a problem;

– an illness;

– a financial crisis;

– a threat.

We should not talk or think about the problem. We should look to Jesus!

4. HOW CAN I LOOK TO JESUS?

The problem exists, but let’s look at what God promises:

– God solves all problems;

– God heals all illnesses;

– God provides for all needs; Jesus is not on Earth in human/physical form.

To look at Jesus, I have to open the Bible and see the “photographs”/stories in which Jesus healed, multiplied, performed miracles, etc.

Looking at Jesus = looking at Bible verses.
