How to See Past the Problem

Pastor Ben Diaz
 

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NLT

 

Over and over in Scripture, God commands us to “fear not,” giving us this powerful reason not to fear: “for the LORD is with you!”

 

Pastor Ben explained that our fears are directly linked to what we choose to see. Are you seeing the situation alone, void of power, or WITH GOD and His supernatural power? How we perceive our circumstances can lead us to either fear and discouragement or faith and courage.

 

In Numbers 13, when the spies scouted out the Promised Land, we see two vastly different perspectives. Ten spies saw the giants and felt like grasshoppers in comparison. But Joshua and Caleb focused on God’s promise and saw the land’s goodness. They knew that with God by their side, those giants were no match for the Lord’s power and faithfulness.

 

Seeing our situation without God brings fear, hopelessness, and despair. But seeing our challenges with God involved changes everything! The enemy often tries to paint the most fearful picture possible, but now that we know his tactics, we can change our perspective and imagine a different outcome—one where God’s power is at work for us.

 

When we create a clear mental picture of God in our situation, it becomes an anchor to hold us in faith and hope for supernatural results. Pastor encouraged us to consider a challenging situation in our lives and invite God into it. Ask Him to replace your fearful image with a new picture of His presence and victory, and then steward that vision by continually thanking God for being with you.

 

Pastor shared how he personally applied this lesson after his accident, replacing the image of lifelong limitations with a vision of full restoration, running, and jumping again. 

Quien Está Enfermo No Puede Sanar A Otros

"Hija, tu fe te ha sanado; ve en paz y queda sana de tu aflicción." Mark 5:34 En Mark 5 conocemos a una mujer que vivió con flujo de sangre durante 12 años. Su condición afectaba más que su cuerpo. Tocaba sus relaciones, sus finanzas, su lugar en la comunidad y la manera en que tal vez veía su futuro. Después de años de decepción, ella todavía se acercó a Jesús. Ken Ward nos recordó que Jesús no solo trata con lo que las personas pueden ver por fuera. Él es el Redentor de toda la persona. Sana, restaura, arranca raíces profundas y nos hace completos.

Nuestro Dios Padre: Viviendo Desde la Aceptación, No Desde el Esfuerzo

By Benjamin Diaz • June 22, 2026
Una de las verdades más profundas de las Escrituras es que Dios se revela a Sí mismo como Padre. Muchas personas conocen a Dios como Creador, Salvador, Sanador o Rey. Sin embargo, una de las misiones principales de Jesús fue revelar al Padre e invitarnos a vivir en una relación cercana con Él.

Our God The Father

By Benjamin Diaz • June 22, 2026
One of the most profound truths in Scripture is that God reveals Himself to us as Father. Many people know God as Creator. Others know Him as Savior, Provider, Healer, or King. Yet one of Jesus' primary missions on earth was to reveal the Father and invite us into a relationship with Him.

Los Nombres de Mi Dios

By Benjamin Diaz • June 15, 2026
Una de las mayores bendiciones que Dios nos da en cada temporada de la vida es la oportunidad de conocerlo más profundamente. El Pastor Ben nos recordó que cada nueva situación que enfrentamos es una invitación para descubrir un aspecto más de la naturaleza de Dios. Cuando surgen desafíos, podemos hacer esta pregunta: "Señor, ¿qué aspecto de Tu naturaleza necesito que intervenga en mi vida en este momento?"  La Biblia revela más de 200 nombres y títulos para Dios, Jesús y el Espíritu Santo. Esta semana exploramos cuatro de ellos y descubrimos cómo apuntan a Jesús, cómo encuentran su cumplimiento en Él y cómo ahora nosotros estamos llamados a reflejar Su naturaleza al mundo que nos rodea.

The Names Of My God

By Benjamin Diaz • June 15, 2026
One of the greatest gifts God gives us in every season is the opportunity to know Him more deeply. Pastor Ben reminded us that every new situation we face is an invitation to discover another aspect of God's nature. When challenges arise, we can ask: "Lord, what part of Your nature do I need to come intervene in my life right now?"  Scripture reveals more than 200 names and titles for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This week we explored four of those names and discovered how they point us to Jesus, how they are fulfilled in Him, and how we are now called to carry His nature into the world around us.

¿Cómo Puedo Conocer Plenamente a Dios?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 8, 2026
Una de las invitaciones más hermosas de las Escrituras no es simplemente creer en Dios, sino conocerlo. Este domingo, el Pastor Ben nos recordó que la confianza no es algo que producimos por esfuerzo propio. La confianza crece naturalmente a través de la relación. Mientras más conocemos a Dios, más aprendemos a confiar en Él.

Why Hasn't The Truth Set You Free?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 1, 2026
Do you know God personally? It's a question worth slowing down to consider. In a culture where information is abundant, it's possible to know a lot about God without actually knowing Him. We can quote Scriptures, attend church, listen to sermons, and participate in ministry activities, yet still miss the relationship God has always desired.

¿Lo Conoces? ¿Y Lo Estás Dando A Conocer?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 1, 2026
El cristianismo no se trata simplemente de conocer datos acerca de Dios, sino de tener una relación con Él. Las palabras de Jesús en Mateo 7 nos recuerdan que la actividad religiosa por sí sola no es la meta. Dios desea que realmente lo conozcamos y que ayudemos a otros a conocerlo también.
