Solving problems 3

 “A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any.” Proverbs 30:30KJV

When addressing problems, we are called to embody the spirit of the lion, the mightiest of beasts, as described in Proverbs 30:30, which “turneth not away for any.” This verse encourages us to face our challenges with the same fearless resolve. As believers, we are reminded that Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), lives within us, giving us the strength and boldness to confront any obstacle. This divine assurance empowers us to tackle problems head-on, knowing that with Christ in us, victory is not just possible but guaranteed. We stand firm, not in our strength alone, but in the power and authority given to us through our faith.

Just as David, empowered by his faith in God, ran toward Goliath and overcame him, we too must confront the giants in our lives with unwavering courage (1 Samuel 17:48). The early disciples demonstrated this boldness when, despite threats and opposition, they proclaimed the gospel with great courage, astonishing those who saw them (Acts 4:13). We are called to do the same—approach every problem with the confidence that comes from knowing that the Lord fights our battles. Rather than fleeing in fear, we face our challenges with the assurance that, like David, we will emerge victorious in the strength of the Lord.

Prophetic word: I declare that the spirit of boldness and courage is rising within you, like the lion that turns not away for any. The Lord is infusing you with divine strength to confront every challenge that stands before you. Just as David triumphed over Goliath, you will overcome the giants in your life. Fear will not paralyze you, for the Lord, your God, goes before you, making a way where there seems to be no way. You are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work within you, enabling you to face your battles and emerge victorious. This season, you will move forward with boldness, breaking through every barrier and stepping into the fullness of God’s promises for your life.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the boldness and courage You have placed within us through Your Holy Spirit. I pray for a fresh outpouring of Your strength upon everyone receiving this word today. Lord, empower them to stand firm in the face of adversity, knowing that You are with them, guiding and protecting them. Just as You gave David the victory over Goliath, I pray that You will grant them victory over every challenge they face. Let fear be replaced with faith, and let hesitation be replaced with holy boldness. May they walk in the confidence that comes from knowing that You are their shield, their defender, and their ever-present help in times of trouble. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
