Blessings, was going to do one of those long bible studies, but where do you start?
2Co 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
I got to thinking about it, and came to the conclusion that I could not list them, because I don't know all them. Pretty sad for someone that teaches others how to believe and trust God. We are where we are though, best to not think of ourselves more than we are.
I do know a few things though.
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
(Gal 3:21-22)
Every promise given under the law is ours today. That means going back and finding them all, which I concluded I was somewhat clueless on.
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Every single blessing given to Abraham is ours, by Faith. God made a blood covenant with Abraham, that He will never break and it will never be changed.
To get what Abraham got, we have to do what Abraham did. It's not according to works of the law anymore but the law of faith.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
(Rom 4:20-21)
Supernatural deliverance from all things come from the Word. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word (Rom 10:17)
To lay hold these promises, it will take faith and growing stronger in the Word to a place where we are not moved anymore by circumstances.
Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
God does not just zap us with miracles after some prayer we throw together. No, we have to let our eyes rest on those scriptures with the promise. It be thy will prayers are deadly to the believe, we have to come to God knowing his Will and convinced.
This is why when believers ask for help, I tell them. Find out what God said about it, and meditate on it. Push out the junk in your heart and fill you heart with the Word.
I will admit, most believers don't see a value in doing that, but those that do get miracles.
Psa 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Your miracle is resting in your Bible, ready for you to agree with. Jesus is the High Priest of our profession, Confession. (Heb 4:14) Profession means to basically confess the same thing He would. Our Words need to be something He can work with. Something already in the Word.
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Stay away from those who are double minded, and full of doubt. A Pastor that says God is mysterious is like taking your car to a Mechanic who tells you that cars are just so hard to understand. Who knows if it can be fixed.
Ah, just some thoughts. When someone says promises of God.... Aside from being saved and forgiven (Which should already be known to all believers) What other promises do we see?
It took faith to give your life over to the Lord Jesus, what other things that faith can obtain though Grace and the blessings of Abraham that are ours?
Good night.
