How to let God solve your Problems
How to let God solve your Problems. | Charles Stanley
Can Good Come Out of This Situation?
In times of great difficulty, people often wonder how they will be able to continue. The pain may seem too great for them to handle or the sorrow too deep. They often ask, “Will anything good come out of this tragedy?” When God is involved, the answer is always yes!
However, it may take time—in some cases, years—before you realize God’s providential hand is always at work in your life. When you do, you also will come to know that you were never alone, forgotten, or abandoned. At every turn, Jesus was beside you.

How to let God solve your Problems. Book by Charles Stanley
David writes, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me” (Ps. 23:4). There is only one way to face adversity, and that is by faith in Jesus Christ. Either you can struggle against life’s difficulties, or you can turn them over to the Lord and ask Him to give you the wisdom and strength you need to handle each one.
When you commit your life to Him, He will take care of all that concerns you. That is His promise. David writes, “The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lov-ingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; do not forsake the works of Your hands” (Ps. 138:8).
In Philippians, the apostle Paul reminds us that there is no limitation to the accomplishments we can achieve if our hearts are set on Christ. He writes, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (4:13). With these words, Paul reveals the secret to dealing with life’s hard-to-handle challenges. It is dependency—dependency on a sovereign, omnipotent God, who loves us with an everlasting love.
Over his lifetime, the problems and trials Paul faced were anything but light. In fact, he tells us in 2 Corinthians, Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. [Forty lashes was a sentence of sure death.] Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.
I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.
Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weak-x ness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (11:24–31)
From a human perspective, Paul should have been dead, but he was alive to do the will of God. He writes, “For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within. But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us” (2 Cor. 7:5–6).
When you face sorrow, heartbreak, and disappointment of any kind, He will do the same for you. He will comfort you so that you will not grow weary (Isa. 40:31). He will teach you how to trust Him to a greater degree, and He also will show you how to comfort others who are hurting and facing tremendous trials (2 Cor. 1:4–7).
The problem that you are struggling with today may be one that has lingered for a long time—so long, in fact, you may wonder if it will ever be resolved and if life will return to being normal.
But adversity, like nothing else, has the ability to bring about solid, constructive change in your life. When you allow God to bear your burdens, this change will result in a closer fellowship with Him.
As you read through this book, I want to challenge you to alter the way you view life’s problems and trials. Instead of cowering in fear when difficulties come, step out in faith and trust God to deal with your circumstances.
Without a doubt, He will teach you to face life’s problems the way Joseph, Elijah, Moses, Paul, and Peter did—by staying the course, fighting the good fight of faith, and developing a new attitude toward the problems of life. In fact, when it comes to adversity, God always has a greater plan in mind.
It is my prayer that you will come to know the love of the Savior in a much deeper way. Then when life does become dark and stormy, you will immediately know to turn to God in prayer, trusting Him to care for you.
You will watch in amazement as He works on your behalf. Therefore, believe, pray, and know that if adversity touches your life, God is at work, and He will bring you through this season of difficulty victoriously!

Possibility of Little Beginnings
When the air balloon was first invented, a matter of fact gentleman contemptuously asked Dr. Franklin what was the use of it. The doctor answered this question by asking another:—“What is the use of a new-born infant?” It may become a man. This anticipation of great things springing from small beginnings should induce us to put into practice those holy promptings which at certain seasons move our souls. What if we ourselves and our work should be little in Zion; cannot the Lord cause the grandest issues to proceed from insignificant beginnings?—SPURGEON.

365 Days of Faith
Understanding and practicing the processes of faith can have a greater impact on your life than any endeavor you choose to undertake. That impact is significant, so you must know what faith is.
The average dictionary would give us a relatively simple answer to describe faith, but the way the Bible defines it is quite different. Look at what Hebrews 11:1 says: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you quote that to a true seeker of knowledge, or a deep-thinking critic, they might respond with something like, “Okay, so it is a substance, and an evidence, but what is it made of?” That’s all we know from this verse—faith is substance and evidence—but, we still don’t know what faith’s ingredients are.
A dictionary definition might say that faith is basically belief, but is that truly what Bible faith is? The apostle James warns us that even the devil believes. (James 2:19.) Does that mean that the devil has faith?
If belief and faith are synonymous, then is it the same thing to believe in God and to have faith in God? Consider this: if someone came to you and said, “I believe in God,” would they think diff erently if you replied with, “Yes, but do you have faith in God?” The fact is, if we tell someone that faith is belief, or even trust, we are only expressing a half-truth.
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13 NIV
The apostle Paul says here that Bible faith is speaking what you believe. That is true, but the Word also says that to establish something, two or three credible witnesses are needed. (2 Corinthians 13:1.)
Living by these principles has changed life immensely. I know that no matter what I face, faith is our victory. Instead of getting up and worrying about my day, I now make my declaration, “Get ready world. I’m about to show you something extraordinary!” That’s the attitude I want this book to birth in you.
Know that you are a believer, a faith warrior, a partner with God, and the devil’s worst nightmare.You are built for faith. Honor God by being the person you are created to be. It

The Power Of Prayer
In true Spurgeon style, each aspect dealt with in these pages will challenge, enlighten, and grow you into what he called, “the art of prayer.” Rarely do readers come away from one of Spurgeon’s books without some new form of knowledge.
The Power Of Prayer Chriatian book of Charles Spurgeon
Prayer was one of Charles Spurgeon’s favorite topics.
Even among his top-rated books, the topic of prayer was dealt with from several angles. This volume, however, was never intended as a book but is rather a collection of some of his best sermons on the subject.

The Power Of Prayer
Known for his direct, no-nonsense approach behind the pulpit, the essence of his fiery but simple rhetoric makes for the perfect guide or handbook. A simple, direct voice grabs hold of you from the opening statement, and then never lets go until the end.
Along the way there will always be something to learn; rarely do readers come away from one of Spurgeon’s books without some new form of knowledge.
As classics go, anything with the name ‘Spurgeon’ attached to it is regarded as a ‘must-have’ in any well-versed Christian’s library. He ranks among the top names in church literature because of his unique style of approaching topics.
Whether it’s doctrinal issues surrounding baptism, the Holy Spirit, and salvation, or more straightforward subjects like prayer and devotion, you always feel that he is speaking personally to you.
He avoided high, lofty, and academic tones, and instead favored a more conversational attitude, which can be found in the sermons in this book. “The Lord Jesus did not say, ‘Feed my giraffes,’ but ‘Feed my sheep.’” And so, this collection is easy to understand, but not always as easy to digest, because it demands a real, passionate, and devoted response—the same way that he lived his life!
To assist you, you will find the same heart and the same challenge that Spurgeon brought his congregants over 100 years ago but in English you can relate to.
Not only that, but a study guide has been designed to guide you to think even further and deeper on his words.
“I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”

Nelson’s Annual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4
This sourcebook is designed to lie alongside all your other tools of word studies, exegesis, commentaries, analytical thought, and prayer that goes into the fully developed, prayed-over, and well-crafted sermon.
Nelson’s Anual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4 By O.S. Hawkins
I have always loved and honored those who are possessed and obsessed with a special and supernatural calling to preach the gospel.
Forever seared in my memory is my own personal call to ministry and the first sermon I ever preached. It was a hot and sultry summer evening, June 24, 1968, when I opened the Bible to Luke and preached on the subject of the cross to a group of rather rough-looking characters at the Union Gospel Mission.

Nelson’s Annual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4
My own preaching journey took me from those street corners and rescue missions of Fort Worth to the little town of Hobart on the Oklahoma plains, then to Ada, Oklahoma, and on to the Gold Coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and finally to the concrete canyons of downtown Dallas at the First Baptist Church.
Even today, in the midst of all of our technological sophistication, it is “still by the foolishness of preaching” that men and women are called to repentance.
The volume you now hold in your hands comes from the hearts and pens of some of the most God-blessed and able Bible expositors alive today. They are young like Jason Allen and a bit more mature like Erwin Lutzer.
Included are some of the most able theologians and culture warriors like Albert Mohler and Russell Moore as well as the most effective mass evangelists like Greg Laurie.
Among our contributors are college and seminary presidents, ethicists, pastors of all types and sizes of churches. All of them have a common thread woven throughout the fabric of their being—a rock-solid belief in the absolute trustworthiness of God’s infallible Word.
As a pastor/preacher myself for over four decades I know the constant cloud of pressure that hovers above the necessity of preparing multiple sermons every week. It never leaves us—ever! Thus, I want to raise high a red warning flag.
This volume is not designed to be a “Saturday night special” to whip out, load up, and fire on a Sunday morning. Volumes such as this should never be used as the only tool on the workbench of your personal study.
This sourcebook is designed to lie alongside all your other tools of word studies, exegesis, commentaries, analytical thought, and prayer that goes into the fully developed, prayed-over, and well-crafted sermon.
It is this editor’s prayer that your own messages will then exhort, encourage, and edify your hearers as these ideas are filtered through your own personality and accompanied by your own personal life illustrations. With that—let’s begin the journey.
