When Trouble Comes Knocking at Your Door

Saying we trust God is as easy as saying thank you.  But have you ever had to really trust Him?  Let's say that you are about to lose your home, lose your job, or facing a serious illness. With these types of scenarios staring you in the face, how do you trust God?  How can you really trust God when you are hurt, in pain, confused, have no direction,  or just a total mess?  The purpose of this blog is to help you learn how to trust God when trouble comes knocking at your door.

First, I am under the assumption that you are a born again. (if not, go to John 3:16 and get in God's family).  Being apart of God's family gives us all of the promises in the Bible.   However, the key is to know what is promised. You must spend time in God's Word, listen to faith preachers, tapes and read books.  Time is of essence, so the more God's Word that you can get into your spirit, the better.  You have to redeem the time lost (word time).  After all, you are being attacked, so this is a must.  SPEND TIME IN GOD'S WORD!  Do this with haste, fervency, and expectation. 

Second, you must begin to say with your mouth what you have read or learned in the Word of God.  For example, if you are going through a physical challenge or sick, then you need to say out loud that according to Isaiah 53:5 , "By his stripes I am healed".  The wounds of Jesus endured on the cross provide healing for you and you must believe this.   If your need is financial in nature, study Proverbs Chapter 3.  In this chapter,  you will learn about prosperity, health, long life, favor with God and the benefits of tithing.- which are all promises of God.  But to have these promises, you will have to keep His commands, bind faithfulness and love around your neck, seek God's wisdom and understanding by spending time in the word.  Your desire to blessed by God will be determined  by your obedience to his Word and keeping his commands.

When trouble comes knocking at your door, you have a part in how to handle the trouble. Your part is to go the Word of God and locate in His Word that provides instruction, directions, and guidance on how to handle the trouble. Once you've identified God's Word that relates to your situation, put you faith into action by declaring his Word day and night, and praise God for answered pray. Do this until you see the results of your faith declarations. Stand firm each day.  Thank God for answered prayers and whatever you do, do not speak against your declarations of faith as it knocks out trouble in your life.  Continue to do this no matter what.

Be blessed in all that you do.
