Today we're fasting from what I call the '''"problem-focused"''' mentality. The problem-focused mentality just sees and reports the problem.

'''1. Never''' '''be satisfied with just recognizing a problem.''' There are enough critics and complainers in the world. The world needs solution-minded people, not just those who can report a problem.

'''2. We are compensated in life for the problems we solve, not the problems we merely recognise.''' In [[Genesis 41]], Joseph not only recognised the famine coming, but he offered a solution for the famine. As a result, he became the most powerful man in the world. Even Pharaoh bowed his heart to Joseph and recognised his power.

'''3. Love''' '''math!''' What do I mean? Mathematics is a great discipline because it proves there is a solution to every problem. Whether you liked math in school, we need to get this: There is a solution to ''everything''. Look for it.'''4. You have the mind of Christ.''' With His mind, you will find His solutions. With every problem man created, God had a solution. And you have His mind!

'''5. Lean on the Holy Spirit.''' As we are led by the Holy Spirit and pray in the Holy Spirit, we bring His solutions into our situation. [[Romans 8:26]]–[[Romans 8:27|27]] says, “the Spirit helps our weaknesses. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us . . . according to the will [solutions] of God.”
