UNLEASH THE POWER OF GOD BY MAGNIFYING HIM INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON PROBLEMS AND ILLNESS
Too often, we let evil get the best of us. We allow negativity to prevail. We give it force. We feed it. That's because -- as a preacher recently pointed out -- we magnify darkness -- illness, bad luck, accidents, family difficulties -- instead of magnifying God.
Thus, a question: what do we place more faith in, the disease or the Person Who created the body -- and, hence, can cure any illness?
It is important to recognize, isolate, and quash evil, but really, do we always have to obsess on the "bad"? Should we ever concede defeat? Might it even be wise at times to ignore an issue once we have done what we can (leaving it now to faith)?
"Obsession" has the hiss of the snake, and when we become too immersed in a dilemma, it's like using a magnifying glass; the details grow out of proportion; we're consumed.
Magnify, magnify, magnify God instead. Praise Him. Praise is your great defense. See God as larger than the Empire State Building (while the devil is smaller than a grain of sand, which is the way, in comparison, it really is).
Don't "entertain" the negative or it will perform like a broken record and eat away at you. There will be no end. Instead of magnifying glass, instead of a microscope, instead of dwelling on every dark detail, use a telescope -- and looking at your problem through the wide end of it, so your problem appears small and distant. Soon, that will be the reality.
