Trusting God's promises, backed by His faithfulness and His word.

 Have you studied all the promises of God?

Of course not. Since there are said to be over 7000 through out the bible. Someone did a study years ago and said there were over 7000.  

I have not found near that many, but will take the brothers word that there are.

2 Corinthians 1:20

For ALL the promises of God in Christ are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

What is the definition of the word promise?

Its a gift graciously bestowed to us by God for those who have received Jesus and believe His word.

A promise is a legally binding declaration that we have a right to expect the performance of, followed by a specific action.

It is a declaration or assurance that someone will do a particular thing.

Beloved, when God's word says ALL  the promises of God are yes, believe Him.

Because of God's great love for us, we have been given those promises.

Romans 8:37-39

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present not things to come, not height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sometimes it seems that God is silent, but that does not mean that He is absent. He is always here with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you.  Be not dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


Psalm 16:11

You will show me the path of life;  In Your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.


God promises to give us rest and take care of all our needs.

Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,  for He who promised is faithful.

Joshua 21:44-45

The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He swore to their fathers.  And not a man of all their enemies stood against them;  the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.  Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel.  All came to pass.


We use to sing a song in church.

Every promise in the book is mine, every chapter, every verse every line.  Do we believe that?  Or was it just head knowledge and not heart experience.

Romans 8:28

For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Since God's word is settled in heaven, we can count on what He has said and promised.

Psalm 119:89

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.


God promises us, salvation in Christ Jesus if we will believe, He promises rest, hope, provision, health, good things to eat. (Psalm 103:5)

This not only applies to our food, but our words of encouragement and hope. Speaking the positive words of  life to bless others. 

(Hebrews 4:12)

Speaking God's word carries great power.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.

He promised strength, healing, and wisdom.  He promised us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He promised that the Holy Spirit will teach us and show us the better way of life. God's way.

He is the Holy Spirit of promise.

Beloved, learn what God's promises are to you, and for you.  Apply by faith those things God says are yours.  Every promise belongs to you!

We miss out on so many blessings by not knowing they are there for us for the asking.

Study the promises of God, know what belongs to you today under the New Covenant.  

Because of the sacrifice of Jesus we have so much more than they had in the old Covenant.  Yet there are many promises that are ours in the Old Covenant as well. 

All of God's word is God breathed.  Inspired, anointed and full of wisdom and life.

All the promises in both the old and new belong to us in Christ. 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Beloved, remember who you belong to, that you are no longer your own, but bought with the precious blood of Jesus.  We belong to Him. And all God's promises are ours.


God Bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

He upholds us with His righteous right hand. He will never let us go! Let us hold onto Him in return and strengthen that bond. When I read that verse, I picture lifting up my hand and Jesus reaching out, grasping my hand and pulling me out of the muck and negativity. I am so thankful for His promises of love!

As usual Joy, thanks for this reminder. I learned (from you!!) that when "God is silent, he is very busy." Those words have comforted me many times

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
