31 WEEKS - 31 KEYS
[PART 4]
For the past three weeks we have been delivering ourselves from wrong thinking. This week we are continuing our 31-week journey of serious deliverance from wrong thinking. We will continue to talk about “deliverance from failure to success; from mediocrity to greatness etc. We will eliminate mentalities of failure and adopt mentalities of success. Real deliverance from wrong thinking begins with the belief that: As a man thinks, so is he. -Proverbs 23:7. If you want to achieve your dreams in life, then begin to THINK God’s way and experience His success in every area of your life.
WEEK 4
This week we are claiming our deliverance from the ‘problem focused’ mentality.
Last week there was so much I wanted to share that I decided to split it up and share the rest today. You can look at life through a ‘problem’ lens or a ‘solution’ lens. If you’re looking for problems, you will find them. And if you’re looking for solutions, you will find them. Decide where to place your focus. Let's shift our focus onto solutions. As we change our thinking, we will change our world!

Last week there was so much I wanted to share that I decided to split it up and share the rest today. You can look at life through a ‘problem’ lens or a ‘solution’ lens. If you’re looking for problems, you will find them. And if you’re looking for solutions, you will find them. Decide where to place your focus. Let's shift our focus onto solutions. As we change our thinking, we will change our world!
DARE TO CHANGE IT NOW:
STRATEGY:
1. STOP FIGHTING SHADOWS. Shadows (of fear and worry, sickness and doubt, etc.) leave when light comes. God saw darkness (Genesis 1:2) BUT said “Light.” It was the light that cast out the darkness. Psalm 119:130 says, ‘the entrance of His word brings light’. As you shine the light of God’s Word on the ‘shadow’ or your problem, it will leave.
2. ASK GOD FOR WISDOM. James 1:5 says, “If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men generously...” God is filled with solutions for any and every situation we face.
3. EXPECT SOLUTIONS. The stream of wisdom that is available to you is unleashed when you EXPECT answers and expect wisdom. Be solution-oriented in everything.
4. SEE YOUR CRISIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY: In the Chinese alphabet, the character for “CRISIS” is exactly the same character for “OPPORTUNITY.” You can see a challenge as a crisis that produces fear and worry, OR as an opportunity that produces energy, imagination, and faith.
5. TRAIN YOUR MIND TO LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS AND YOU WILL STOP COMPLAINING. Instead of just trying to stop complaining by being “holy” enough, let's change what we’re thinking. As you LOOK for solutions in every situation, you WILL stop complaining.
6. SEE THE PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING, AS A PATHWAY TO YOUR PROMOTION. Once you solve it, you’ll be one step closer to God’s greatness for your life. You’ll have proven to yourself that you can’t be beat. You’ll inspire your faith and discover that God equipped you to face any challenge. And you will win
SAY THIS ALOUD:
I am a problem solver.
I ask for and receive wisdom today to overcome the problems I face.
I have the light of God’s Word bringing light to every situation.
Shadows of death, darkness, fear and lack, LEAVE my life today.
I embrace the opportunity to overcome what is right in front of me, and step into God’s promotion for my life.
I look for and expect solutions today, in Jesus’ Name.
Next week we will focus on “scarcity mentality.”
May God bless us all.
