P-R-A-I-S-E YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY!

By Rev. Dr. William T. Kidd

P-RAY ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS.

A. IF YOU WANT TO OVERCOME YOUR PROBLEM AND YOU’VE DONE ALL YOU CAN TO STAND.

B. PRAY TO GOD FOR STRENGTH, PRAY TO GOD FOR PEACE OF MIND, PRAY TO GOD FOR YOUR HEALING, PRAY TO GOD FOR SOUL SAVING SALVATION.

C. 1^ST PETER 3:12 " FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE OVER THE RIGHTOUSE, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN UNTO THEIR PRAYERS: BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THEM THAT DO EVIL".

D. HE WATCHES OVER US, AND HEARS OUR PRAYERS. HE IS READY TO COME AND DELIVER US FROM ANY PROBLEM OR ADVERSARY THAT COMES OUR WAY. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PRAY!

R-EJOICE IN THE LORD!

A. WE NEED TO LIFT UP OUR VOICES UNTO GOD AND THANK HIM FOR THE BLESSING HE’S GIVEN, SOMETIMES EVEN BEFORE WE RECEIVE THE BLESSING.

B. THIS IS CALLED WITH FAITH BELIEVING. IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN/WILL HANDLE YOUR PROBLEM. THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRAISE HIM BEFORE THE BLESSING IS RECEIVED.

C. PHILIPPIANS 4:4"REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS; AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE." WE SHOULD ALWAYS REJOICE IN GOD, RATHER TIMES ARE GOOD OR BAD. GOD IS ALWAYS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE.

A-BIDE IN GOD!

A. SOME THINK THAT IT IS HARD TO ABIDE IN GOD. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT ABIDING IN GOD IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK.

B. ST. JOHN 15:10 " IF YE KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, YE SHALL ABIDE IN MY LOVE;" NOTICE THE BIBLE SAID "IF YE KEEP……." THERE IS A STIPULATION UPON THE PROMISE. WE NEED TO OBEY THE WORD OF GOD, AND THEN THE BLESSINGS CAN FLOW FREELY.

C. ST. 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."

D. WE NEED TO KEEP GODS COMMANDMENTS! THEN WE WILL ABIDE IN HIS LOVE, AND WHEN WE ABIDE IN HIS LOVE WE WILL ABIDE IN HIM, AND WHEN WE ABIDE IN HIM, HIS WORDS ARE GOING TO ABIDE IN US. THEN WE CAN ASK WHAT WE WILL, AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO US.

I-NSTRUCTOIN IN GODS WORD!

A. PROVERBS 4:13 "TAKE FAST HOLD OF INSTRUCTION; LET HER NOT GO: KEEP HER; FOR SHE IS THY LIFE.’

B. HEARING AND BEING INSTRUCTED IN GODS WORD. IS BENEFICIAL TO CHRISTIANS. THE BIBLE SAYS "FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF THE LORD." LEARNING THE WORD OF GOD CAN MAKE YOU AN OVER COMER, AND INCREASE YOUR FAITH.

C. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT DO NOT REALIZE THAT THIS IS A TWO FOLD PROMISE OF SCRIPTURE. 1. BEING INSTRUCTED IN GOD’S WORD CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL. 2. BEING INSTRUCTED IN GOD’S WORD CAN SAVE THIS LIFE FROM DANGER. "FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER AND THE RIGHTEOUS RUNNETH INTO IT AND ARE SAFE.’

S-HOUT OUT WITH VICTORY!

A. PSALM 47:1 "O CLAP YOUR HANDS, ALL YE PEOPLE; SHOUT UNTO GOD WITH THE VOICE OF TRIUMPH."

B. WHEN THE PROBLEMS COME AND THEY OVERWHELM YOU. THAT’S WHEN YOU NEED TO STEP OUT AND SHOUT THE SALVATION OF GOD, AND CLAP YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF OUR LORD. THEN HE WILL GO OUT AND FIGHT THAT BATTLE FOR YOU JUST AS HE DID FOR JEHOSHAPHAT.

C. WHEN I USED TO TEACH MARTIAL ARTS I USED TO ENCOURAGE MY STUDENTS TO SHOUT AT THERE OPPONENTS, BECAUSE IT STUNS THE ENEMY. THE ENEMY EXPECTS YOU TO TURN AND RUN, NOT STAND AND SHOUT.

D. BUT WHEN YOU SHOUT OUT IN TRIUMPH FOR THE LORD; AND YOU PRAISE AND WORSHIP HIM WITH YOUR VOICE AND THE CLAPPING OF YOUR HANDS. GOD BEGINS TO MOVE ON YOUR BEHALF, AND MIRACLES BEGIN TO HAPPEN.

E-XALT THE NAME OF THE LORD!

A. PSALM 34:3 "O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME, AND LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER."

B. THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE VICTORY IN YOUR LIFE IS TO LIFT JESUS WHERE HE BELONGS, AND TO ALLOW HIM TO HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE.

C. HE IS THE ONE THAT DESERVES TO BE EXALTED. WE ONLY DESERVE TO PRAISE HIS WONDERFUL NAME. "NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THEIR IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. (ACTS 4:12)

D. FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST WILL NOT DO IT, BECAUSE THESE ARE TITLES NOT NAMES. I AM A FATHER, I AM A SON, IM EVEN A HUSBAND, BUT THESE ARE NOT MY NAMES. NOR IS FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST THE NAME OF JESUS.

NOW IF YOUR PROBLEMS HAVE YOU DOWN AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR LOOSING THE BATTLE, TRY PRAISE INSTEAD OF RUNNING.
