Stand on the Promises of God

What are the promises of God? 

When I think about the promises of God, it reminds me of his word.  Everything that God says in his words is true.  

God is not like us. He is perfect and keeps his promises. If he said it, then it shall come to pass, no matter how long it takes.  

We can make  promises and  turn around and break them, not always intentional, but that just let us  and other’s know we are not perfect!  We shouldn’t intentionally make promises that we know we’re not going to keep! 

We serve a perfect God that always keeps his promises, and he’s able to help us each and every day.  

The Bible says we walk by faith, not by sight. 

 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 

Yes, what we see and face is real, but God always keeps his promises. 

God is Powerful and he tells us to put our trust in him. He tells us that without faith, it’s impossible to please him.  

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Stand On The Promises Of God

We have to trust God during the process and have faith in him. We are living in perilous times. In spite of the many distractions from the enemy around us, we can’t lose focus on the promises of God in his word. God’s Word is powerful, gives us hope, and is true.   

 We might be going through life issues, but God is able to keep us in the midst of our circumstances.  

Focus on the promises and not the problems. 

 If we focus more on the problems than JESUS..the problems (storms of life) will overtake us and then fear and doubt sets in and there’s no faith in God, because we took our eyes off of  Jesus and his promises and focused more on the problems, the storms of life. 

We must stand on the promises of God! 

 Yes, we can see the facts, but facts are not faith. It’s a fact that we are going through on every side, satan is trying  to make God’s people look bad with lies and character   assassination, but Faith says God can and will deliver us at the right time and in the right season.  

Stand on the Promises of God 

 Hebrews 11:1

  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

The Lord’s Prayer: 

 Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Be Encouraged! 

All praises and glory go to God!
