Have you ever had a problem? Something that seemed impossible to get out of, get rid of or see the solution to?
I have, and it's not fun. Problems tend to overtake us at every corner if we don't know what to do with them.
Today I want to tell you how you can get rid of your problems. It's not an easy fix, but it's the best fix, and something that works every time.
Yesterday I watched Sid Roth's program It's supernatural on God TV. And his guest said something that made me rejoice and shout. He said:

In order to minimize the problem,
you need to magnify the solution!
I was literally jumping in my seat, because that's exactly what I have learnt during my more than fifty years with the Lord. However, I have never heard anyone say it with such simplicity.
What did he mean, and is it biblically correct?
He meant that focusing on the problem makes it bigger. The more you focus on it (i.e. thinking on it), the bigger it becomes. Satan always comes into our lives through our thought life. Like he did with Eve in the Garden: "Did God really say ...?" He planted a thought of doubt, and Eve received that thought and let it grow in her mind. And we know the tragic result, that started with that one, tiny, little thought in Eve's mind.
However, if Eve immediately had told Satan: "No, God didn't say that, He said that ..." and refused to accept Satan's words, we might still have been in the Garden today.
Is it biblically correct that maximizing the solution makes the problem go away?
Yes, absolutely. Let's look at 2 Chorintians 10:3-5: "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (My emphasis).
There's a war going on, and the war is first and foremost going on i our minds. And this verse says that we do not war as "the world" does. "The world" is people who are not saved, who live according to their carnal minds. Our weapons (the weapons of people who are saved) are from God, and they are mighty to demolish strongholds. What is a stronghold? It's a thought that won't go away, it's an imagination that is so strong you believe it.
Example. Your thought is: "My family has always been poor, therefore I will always be poor". That's a stronghold, that's an evil imagination. But in Christ Jesus you are free from hereditary strongholds. In Christ you can take that thought captive and replace it with His thoughts, which in this situation could be: And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).
If you focus your attention on that Scripture in stead of your old negative thoughts, you're on your way to a new life, a life in freedom from bondage and you can overcome every problem that comes in your way.
Start today and declare your freedom in Christ!
