ATTACK YOUR LACK By: Jorge Villavicencio Do you know which the main Christian problem is? To reach heaven? To avoid hell? The problems of the fiscal deficit? NO! The most urgent thing that you and we all have to confront is how to have all our spiritual, physical, financial necessities supplied while we walk our way to heaven. Necessities or deficient are always changing in life. When a necessity is replaced, another one presents. You will never be without necessities. These are as storm clouds that hide the face of the sun from our eyes. This deficient trieys to hide God from our view, they fill us with fears and anxieties. The recurrent presence of these lacks causes frustrations, and when anxiety arrives to that point, the king of debts appears in scene: Satan begins to whisper that being born again is not so good, that to walk with the Lord doesn't pay… that our prayers are not being listened and that all these problems have the sign "No exit". Discease hits, unemployment, taxes and bills increase, medical reports that say cancer, AIDS, chronic fatigue, problems in the factory, at work, terrible vacations, there are no vacations, another sick son, another addicted son, one of the single daughters gets pregnant, another divorce, will I be the next one? WE SHOULD ATTACK OUR LACK: ATTACK YOUR LACK | www.mcmcolombia.org

We should discipline ourselves to expel the negativism. We should have self control ourselves and to order our interior being to believe in the word of God, to attack the lack. This is the key: When you have a lack, attack it!. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong”. Which is the weapon with which you should attack? You should attack your lack with the weapon of faith. Let us look at some things about deficient that can be defeated: 1. God has ordered you not to suffer deficient 1 Thessalonians 4: 12 "That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing”. Philippians 4: 19"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”.

God is by your side, he doesn't want you to suffer deficient. 2. God has put into operation the power to replace your deficient Philippians 2: 30 "Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me”. The previous verse speaks to us of Epaphroditus who was correspondent for heaven's sake to provide Paul's deficient. God can also enter into action the powers of heaven and of earth to replace your deficient. He can use men or women sent for that task. Philippians 4:19"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. Psalms 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want”. Psalms 34:9 "O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him”. 3. There are in the Bible examples that demonstrate that those who used their faith lacked nothing. Deuteronomy 2: 7 "For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing”. Jews had to exercise their faith to venture to advance for the desert, God honored that faith providing for their deficient.

1 Timothy 6: 12 "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses”. One of the biggest brave in World War II was Wiston Churchill, famous in his speech that was diffused radially to the whole world: "My friends, we are fighting a battle with our backs against the wall. Here in England we will never surrender, we will fight in the beaches, in the mountains and in the valleys. Never, never, we will never surrender, there will always be an England. I don't have anything to offer but blood, perspiration and tears and to the rest of the world I say: Give us the tools and we will make the work. We will never surrender." Do you know what the tool number one is? ACTIVE FAITH! The deficient is now attacking you, but God is speaking today to you, you have already received the tools. Now you should make the work! Attack with faith, attack, attack, attack your lack!
