The prevailing Word of GOD reduces the size of the problem!
Where does your confidence lie, in The Word of GOD or the problem before you? Our confidence is a firm trust and relying on GOD’S Word rather than a soulish solution or alternative.
It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Numbers 13:
26 Now the twelve spies departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the ten men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”
32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
All twelve spies had seen the visible manifestation of miracles and the Glory of GOD daily. They saw the Egyptian army get wiped out. They saw and heard the plagues in Egypt, yet ten spies failed to trust in GOD’S deliverance. What short memories! They saw big people instead of a BIGGER GOD.
Miracles and breakthroughs occur when we are no longer impressed by the size of our problem. Many people define themselves by the size of their problem rather than the size of OUR GOD.
Being a worshipper of GOD will direct our focus to HIM rather than the problems we face. We have been given the privilege of dwelling in the House of THE LORD.
David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 27:
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the House of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His Temple.
And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
4 But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His Great Love with which He Loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
We were preordained for good works that we should walk in them now! Those good works are intended to overcome any problem we encounter no matter how big. If it were not possible, The Holy Spirit would not have declared it through Paul to us.
