In Overcoming Every Problem, Joyce Meyer teaches readers how they can also overcome every problem that they may face in life. The book covered 40 promises that is meant to help strength us in our walk with God. She shared how the Bible has changed her life and she has studied it for over 40 years. She explained how critical it is to study and apply what we are reading to our daily lives. Jesus died where we can have the abundant life and He will can give us blessings. She opened up about how she had dysfunctional behaviors that stemmed from being sexually abused from her father. Her mother knew about the abuse and chose to ignore it and not rock the boat. Joyce explained how she found healing and was able to even provide them with forgiveness. She begins the book by stating how Jesus is the truth and satan has come to deceive us. When we know what the Word says, then we aren’t as easily fooled by untruths.
One of my favorite promises was on how we are all born again because of what Christ did for us. We are a new creature in Christ and old things have passed away and we will become brand new. She shared a testimony that she heard of a woman who lost her mother when she was born. Her father thought it would be good for her to connect with other women so he sent her to a convent school for girls. There she was abused by religious figures. She was kept in dark places, beaten, sexually abused, was made to go hungry. If she did get food, she was given laxatives and then beaten if she had to go to the bathroom. She hated Christians and God. She was an alcoholic and became addicted to heroin. She felt empty inside and married a man where she would feel that someone loved her. She finally cried out to God and was saved and they are both pastors now. This was an excellent example of restoration and being born again. We tend to try to fill the empty void by looking for fame, money, possessions, love in the wrong places, and anything else. Many times, we have to hit rock bottom before we turn to God. We can find peace and comfort in Jesus and receive His mercy.
I would recommend this prevailing book to anyone who is needing an outstanding resource to assist them in overcoming every promise that they may encounter in life. I also loved how she discussed the power of praying for our enemies especially when they mistreat us. This provides an open door for God to work in their lives. This can give us incredible peace and help us to release the problem to Him and let Him work on them. Our essential part is to pray and let God take control. It was very inspiring to read about how Joyce did this for her dad for years and years until when he was 80 years old. He asked her for her forgiveness and they helped lead him into salvation. I greatly enjoyed how she broke down 40 promises that will change reader’s lives if they choose to read and follow the truths found in the Word of God. Each day contained a main verse, a short teaching, and a special highlight that we can focus on. I believe this book would be a wonderful resource to use daily for 40 days or even weeks where readers can dig deeper until the promises and live them out daily. This book is one to be reread again and again.
