Good morning my friends
I was prompted by our Abbah Father to encourage you once again today. To remind you that God keeps his promises.
As l started to do the research I discovered that there are 8,810 promises in the bible. God spent so much time detailing and documenting his answer to many many troubling situations.
He knew we would face trouble, he knew we would need encouragement - he gave his answers to all these outlined in his word through his promises.
The word Promise is actually used 214 times.
Here is the link I found with the figures quoted above it is amazing this testimony given as someone who needed healing, compiled the correct listing of the promises while waiting on God to heal him.
I will share you the song written about the promises just a few lines down. Many of you may be familiar with this song....standing on the promises:
So what are the promises of God and what does God say about his promises for you?
2 Corinthians 1:20, we can take heart because “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”
The promises are God's pledge to us concerning a given problematic situation. We are assured of his faithfulness and his loving tender care. Most of all we know he will never lie or lead us down a "rabbit hole".
We have proved him so many times before.
I have also concluded that if God gave us promises (answers to negative situations) then it must mean, no matter how long that situation lasts, he will turn our situations around to be something beautiful in his time. He always does.
If you're "stuck" in a cycle of defeat, then begin to search God's word to get you out of that rut. Ask God to give you your own Promise. When God speaks to you that word comes alive and stirs faith and hope.
Just recently I heard God's voice about something I have been waiting on for quite some time. God spoke to me quietly saying, there is no good thing that he would withhold from me because I walk uprightly. I tell you I knew it was God's voice because instantly my inner turmoil turned to peace and new faith was stirred.
There is a promise for you my friend in fact many promises for you. Find them, speak them aloud and declare them to be your portion each day. God will never disappoint you. Amen.
Stand on his promises my friends, stand on his promises
"Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God."
I am praying you will receive your promise in Jesus name
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
Pastor J
