The promises of God is a euphemism for the things written in the Holy Bible, which were disbursed over a specific time period from about 1500 years before the first coming of Jesus Christ and up to about 95 years afterwards, a period of about 1600 years, by 40 human authors who were led by God the Holy Spirit, to give to the world everything it needs to have proper fellowship with the Almighty God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Numbers 23:19 – 21 (KJV)
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Num 23:20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Num 23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
New Testament Scripture Reading: John 8:30 – 36 (KJV)
Joh 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
The Truth Will Set You Free
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) The Word that has “proceeded out of the mouth of God” {The Bible} is the MOST durable thing in existence because Almighty God will never be made out to be “wrong” on anything He has said, therefore, believers in His Word can be for sure that what God has said is surely 100% TRUE!
2) It is essential for all believers to understand the urgency of learning God’s Word {The Bible} and through prayer to apply the Word to ourselves individually and as a group, so that we live in a constant state of upward spiritual development toward Christ likeness, which pleases God His Father!
3) Reliance on the power in God’s promises must become the force that continues bearing fruit, both personally, corporately, and evangelistically, and casts out fear, anxieties, sin of every stripe, and all other human impurities, while allowing believers to multiply and obey God’s Holy WORD!
