Done Deal!


“Don’t talk to others about your problem, speak to the problem about your God!” – Carl Gustaf Severin

When we have a problem or a need, the first order of business, is to boldly take it to the Father in Jesus name. You see, Jesus already over-paid the price and purchased our salvation, our complete redemption and all that redemption entails, on the cross over 2000 years ago. It is already a “done deal”. Everything has already been taken care of—forever! 

The second thing is to tell your problem that Jesus has already done it! Don’t let the devil lie to you and make you think that God won’t take care of you when He has already taken care of it all.

Too many Christians take the “Jerry Springer” approach to problem solving.  They want to talk it over; hash it over; fight about it a little bit, and then get audience reaction to it.  That my friends, is wallowing!  It is an insult to God, and it makes us look foolish.

Some of life’s problems may require counseling to help you get past them; but a good Christian counselor will point you to Christ and help you seek Him for the answer to the problem. If he/she doesn’t do that, then he/she is not a good Christian counselor. Find one!

Unresolved situations and problems in our lives do not reflect the power and majesty of Jesus Christ. I want to reflect the power and glory of Jesus. I want to be an overcomer, a victorious witness to show forth the glory of God in my life. I want the world to see what placing faith in Jesus can do.  Don’t you?

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” – 1 John 5:4 KJV

Have a great day; and remember who and Whose you are.
