Standing On Top Of Your Problem
Tuesday, September 29, 2026
Most homes today have slanted roofs. They’re not made to stand on. But in Biblical times, most roofs were flat. It was easy to get on the roof and pray as Peter did. People often view their problems as roofs over their heads, overwhelming, and blocking everything else. But the problem is not there to overshadow you or limit you. For in God, your problem isn’t meant to be a ceiling – It’s a roof that you can stand on top of. So stop praying on the wrong side of your problem. Get on the roof of your problem, stand on top of it, and lift your eyes to heaven. In other words, make your problem your floor, the place that is the beginning of prayer. God doesn’t want you overwhelmed by your problem. He wants you to use it to get closer to Him. Stop looking at your problem as a ceiling and start looking at it as a floor. Be Biblical. Learn to take what was once a ceiling in your life, and make it a floor. Let the roof over your head be only the heavens in God’s glory.
From Message #817 The Jehoshaphat Guide to Victory I
Scripture: Ephesians 2:6
TODAY’S MISSION – Today, stop living under your problem. And start living over it. Get your feet on the problem and your eyes on heaven.

Commentary for Ephesians 2, from “The Apologetics Study Bible”:
“2: 1-6 Being “dead” in sins does not imply that unbelievers can do no good or that they cannot respond to the message of salvation through God’s initiating grace. This describes their hopeless condition as separated from God (vv. 11-12). Salvation removes that separation (v. 13) and locates believers “in Christ Jesus.”
“2: 10 While good works cannot merit right standing with God, good works are the fruit borne in the lives of those whom God has saved. Good works are neither an afterthought nor optional in the lives of believers. God created and saved them for the very purpose of doing good works.”
