Through Prayer
Fred Lowery
2 Chronicles 20
RIGHT NOW:
You have a problem, you live with a problem or you are a problem.
UNFORTUNATELY
We tend to lie and cover our problems. We think we are expected to always be "fine" or that people will think less of us.
TWO MYTHS:
1.If I go to church, sing or teach and give my money then God will protect me fromproblems.
e.g.Like police protection or insurance - for 10% God provides a protective covering over my family.
2.If I trust God and obey Him, then he will remove the problem.
GOD'S WORD SAYS:
1.Do not fret
2.Do not fear
3.Do not worry
"Worry about nothing, pray about everything and that will get you through anything."
4.Do let your heavenly Father help you with your problems
NORMAL QUESTIONS:
1.Why doesn't God answer?
2.Why is God silent?
3.Why do bad things happen to good people?
4.Why hasn't God given me a solution?
VALID QUESTIONS:
1.Am I focusing on God?
2.Am I willing to abide by God's solution no matter what it is?
3.Am I seeking God - intimate relationship?
Usually we have a preconceived idea of what God needs to do and when and how he needs to do it.

31So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on him. 34and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
e.g.Also worst disease - The disease of Sin.
MARK 2:5
5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
2.DECISION
MARK 1:37-38
37and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!" 38Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else - to the nearby villages - so I can preach there also. That is w ...
