God has given you thousands of promises!
"And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.” (2 Peter 2:4 NLT)
We need to be aware of what God has already provided so we don’t repeatedly ask Him for what He has already given. Over the last few days I have been sharing some of them with you. Here is another one.
Promises
Promise: a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen. assurance, pledge, vow, guarantee, oath, bond, undertaking, agreement, commitment, contract, covenant.
There are thousands of them for you!
There are thousands of them scattered throughout the Bible and they cover every need! (Phil. 4:19).
They are all "Yes" in Christ!
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.” (2 Cor. 1:20 NIV)
They MUST be mixed with faith!
Even though God has provided all these wonderful promises for you, they won't profit you unless you mix them with faith (believe them with your whole heart and stand on them without wavering). See the verses below
"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." (Heb 4:2 KJV)
"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." (James 1:6 NIV)
