LOOK TO JESUS AND NOT TO THE PROBLEM #4
EXAMPLE OF ELISEUS

1.INTRODUCTION
The right attitude of faith, in the act of faith, is to look at Jesus and not to the problem.

We must not look at:
– problem;
– size of the target / challenge;
– social and/or financial capacity;
– threats.

We must 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
In the face of a problem ? Faced with a challenge? Faced with a target? Faced with stagnation? – Look to Jesus and not to the problem.
We must not be driven by feelings, emotions, pain, etc. – 2 Corinthians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:7

3.EXAMPLE OF ELISHA
2 Kings 6:8-23
The prophet Elisha was surrounded by enemy troops. Today we can be surrounded by debts, problems, illnesses, etc.
Humanly speaking, there was no chance, no solution. They were 2 against a huge army with weapons.

But he did not pay attention to all this, nor did he pretend that the problem did not exist.
The prophet looked at God’s side and that is why he won – Romans 8:31-33

4.HOW CAN I LOOK AT JESUS
When the believer annoys hell, the devil will show up. He has no time for the shameless believer who doesn’t do God’s will.

If or when we have a problem:

– illness;
– financial crisis;
– threat;

We can not talk and/or think about the problem. We have to look the other way, to God.

Jesus is not on earth in human/physical form. To look at Jesus, I have to open the Bible and see the “pictures” / stories in which Jesus healed, multiplied, performed miracles, etc.

Looking at Jesus = looking at Bible verses.

Next Sunday, come to a Maná Church near you!
