There I was being asked, “What do you believe in?” My
answer was, “I believe in the promises of God.” Then the question
immediately came back to me, “I hear that response a lot, do you really know
what the promises of God are?”
I may not know every single one that is in the Bible, but I know
the promises that I have posted to my prayer wall that I remind God each
morning. I also have posted the promises that were sent to me
personally.
There are days that I have to stand on these promises just to make
it through to the next. Not only do I remind God about them, I
remind myself of them. If God said it, I believe it and that settles
it.
As I was meditating with God this morning I felt compelled to list
as many as I could before the sun came up…this is not the exhaustive list, just
the tip of the iceberg.
For
you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians
3:26
You
are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
being
confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will
complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Philippians 1:6
I
can do all things through Christ who has strengthen me Philippians
4:13
Be
strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for
the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not
leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
Peace
I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John
14:27
Call
upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify
Me. Psalm 50:15
Therefore
if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36
Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things
have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2
Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore
do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What
shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For
your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added
to you. Matthew 6:31-33
There
is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the
Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made
me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2
Bring
all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try
Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you
the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive
it. Malachi 3:10
And
my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus. Philippians 4:19
But
those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They
shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They
shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Heal
me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For
You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14
This
is as far as I got until the sun came up. However I didn’t even
scratch the surface of the promises that God has given to us. Know
that these promises weren’t just for the folks in the Bible 2000 plus years
ago. Once God says something it happens for
eternity. Isaiah 55:11 tells us that God’s word does not come back
void.
In
Numbers 29:13 the Bible tells us that God is not human so He cannot
lie. If God cannot lie, then I am going to stand on His promises
that He will fulfill them.
What
promises do you need for Him to fulfill? What word from God to you
need to get through the day or even this next year?
God
likes to be reminded of His word. Not that He forgets but that you
are letting Him (and satan) know that you believe Him to keep it. Satan
doesn’t want you even knowing the promises exist much less believing that God
will stand by them.
Think
about that for a moment…if you don’t think that God’s word is for you and that
it will bring you out of what ever circumstances you happen to be in, satan
wins. He wants you to doubt God, he wants you to think that God
doesn’t care about you and he wants you to think that your problems are bigger
than God.
I
want you to get mad at him, you tell him, “Not today satan, NOT
TODAY! I believe in my God, I believe in His promises and I believe
He will fulfill them for ME!”
Know
Who God Is. Know who you are in Him. Stand on His
promises, He won’t let you down.
Hold on to all the promises with everything that you have. They are priceless treasures worth holding onto.
Until
Next Time, God Bless!
