Handling the Big Problems--Sermon Recap

This past Sunday, I suggested steps to take when it feels like your problem is a mountain you just can't move. Here are the steps:

1. STOP and remind yourself that God (Perfection) is the only Presence and Power. Because Perfection is the reality, it is possible for you to experience and evidence Perfection right where the problem or imperfection seems to be.
2. ELIMINATE THE FEAR. Your seeming problem has no power. God (Love) is the only Power. It does not even have genuine Substance, because God is the only Substance. All the spooking power your problem seems to have is your own fear of it. Get rid of the fear of the problem and the VICTORY is yours.
3. The PRAYER CLOSET is the way to nip the fear at its root. Pray as often as necessary for a clear, unmistakeable realization of God's Presence. Before you actually sense, feel and know that GOD IS HERE, it may (or may not) take many prayer periods.
4. Align yourself with a PRAYER POSSE. Don't try to go it alone. See (Prayer Resources). Call like-minded friends to pray with and "for" you. If necessary call a licensed Practitioner.
5. Keep your Consciousness soaked and saturated with God's Truth, and with inspirational stories of folk who have been in a similar situation and prayed their way to wholeness. See the sidebar (Healing Stories) for inspiration. Read the Bible and other literature. Most of all keep your mind "stayed on Thee." You cannot think about your problem and the Truth of God's Presence at the same time. Which one would you like to see evidenced as your life? Then, think about that.
