STANDING ON THE PROMISES

” 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 1:4

Our God in heaven is such a gracious God. He has provided us with many promises concerning healings, protection, salvation and forgiveness. If you are not completely familiar with any of these promises you need to start digging into them. As we continue to face the issues of this world we can always depend upon Jesus to move forward before God and defend us, and we can depend upon the Holy Spirit to guide us in the proper direction. We must, however, be familiar with the goodness of God. We must be able to go to God in the name of Jesus and remind him of his promises. We must have the faith and belief to stand upon each and every promise. We must be able to stand up and declare his promises with the strength, belief and surety that they will be and are being fulfilled. If we allow our faith to be stolen from us and allow it to waiver, we are giving into the devil and the world. Without faith God’s promises will not be able to manifest themselves in our lives. God does not force them upon us. He has given us a free will to choose what direction we wish to go. The Lord has taken his stance. He has sacrificed his only son for you and me. He has promised to take care of us in all situations. He has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us. However, we must show him our faith and belief in his great word and the promises he has so graciously given us. We must actively profess his word, and the promises contained within his word, to the world. We can no longer set back and put our faith on hold. If we do, defeat is guaranteed in our future. With Jesus we already have the victory! As born again believers we should live and declare the life of righteousness we have been given. BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE BECAUSE GOD IS YOUR SOURCE! PRAISE THE LORD!
