Ps 145: how to focus on God instead of problems

God does not want his children to be poor because he is rich. He provides for all of our needs according to his riches in glory. Jesus said in my fathers house there are many mansions. God is a mansion builder. Only rich people build mansions. Learn to think and act like your father and you will see his will manifested in your life in the abundance of physical and spiritual blessing. This is the shalom life the blessing of Abraham.

While we celebrate the manger and the cradle during this advent season, we need to remember that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. (I John 3:8) And the works of the devil are sin and sickness. God has given authority to his church over sin and over sickness. This does not mean that we will never sin or that we will never be sick, but it does mean that he has given us extraordinary authority to triumph over both sin and sickness.

Today’s teaching focuses on the fact that wiseguys or wise people don’t hang around with fools. And also wise people know how to control their anger. So they know how to control their temper and they know how to avoid foolish people.

In this episode, I will be teaching about the 25 ways of the wise person as they are delineated explicitly for us in the book of Proverbs. The book of Proverbs makes a distinction between the wise person who fears and reveres God and the fool who has no reverence for God. There are specific ways that wise people live and specific ways that fools live. And it is imperative that we teach this to each other and to our children so that we can recognize when we are being wise and also recognize when we are playing the fool.

Perhaps the most destructive element in any relationship is anger. The book of Proverbs teaches us that a fool is the person who is angry quickly. If you are angry at the drop of a hat, you need to stop playing the fool and bring this to God so that you can learn to overcome this emotion before it overcomes you.

In this episode of What Would Solomon Say? we examine the biblical command for children to honor and obey their parents. The culture tells children that their peers are more important than their parents, but in this letter from Solomon we will learn that that is not true. God wants children to honor and obey their parents no matter how young those children are or how old they become.

God commands us to teach our children about him and to teach them the ways of wisdom and righteousness. Perhaps the finest book in the Bible for parenting is the book of Proverbs, for it shows young people how to get wisdom and how to live skillful, effective, and righteous lives in a wicked world. In my new book, What Would Solomon Say?, I create innovative ways for parents to teach their children the great themes and topics of wisdom. I organized the book of Proverbs in topics that are relevant to parenting so that parents can have the wisdom of God at their fingertips and be able to sow it into the hearts of their children as their children interact with them.

This episode is the first in a series about wisdom from the book of Proverbs. In this particular episode we begin dealing with the topic of self-control speech words and anger.

Today’s program is about our need to become preoccupied with the Word of God. Our focus is on the word meditation in Joshua chapter 1 verse eight. You will see that we are either preoccupied with our occupations or we are preoccupied with God’s word. You will learn how to meditate properly on the Word of God and to fill your mind with his Word so that the world does not fill your mind with its thoughts, and anxiety doesn’t destroy you.

This message is taken from David’s incredible prayer in first Chronicles chapter 29. The focus of this message is for us to take the focus off of ourselves and to see God in his glory and greatness so that we are not ruled by life in the tyranny of the urgent or in the pursuit of daily necessities. David teaches us how to bless God with all of our hearts.

Jesus spoke with authority. He has given us the same authority to speak like kings and priests to every aspect of our lives.

God is our healer. He heals because his name is Jehova Rapha--God our healer. He has never stopped healing because he always acts according to his Name. But we no longer expect healing because we have lost faith in the fact that God heals. We need more than ever today to recover what the Bible says about God's healing heart and word towards his people. We cannot receive what we do not believe and faith comes by hearing.

The Bible tells us to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Got a minute for your marriage? Learn how to sow the seed of Faith to grow your marriage daily.

Jesus is God because God says He is God, because the Spirit testifies through the Scriptures that He is God, and in this episode you will see that He is God because He says He is God.

Jesus is God. The Scriptures prove this in a variety of ways.
