God's Promise Of Truth

 

For God's word is something to sing about!  He is true to his promises, his word can be trusted, and everything he does is reliable and right. 
Psalm 33:4  (TPT)

Moses gave us the law, but Jesus, the Anointed One, unveils truth wrapped in tender mercy. 

John 1:17 (TPT)

Lord convict us and let us know when we are wrong.  So that we may come to you to seek forgiveness and mercy and an opportunity to make a correction.  Thank you for the truth of your word and the power of it.  Even though sometimes the truth hurts, we trust you with our lives.

~ Randy and Joan

God's Promise Of Power

Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this.  He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!  He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power continually energizes you. 

Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)

For thee kingdom realm of God comes with power, not simply impressive words. 

1Corinthians 4:20 (TPT)

We don't have to be subject to sickness, poverty, lack, insufficiency, bad relationships, fear, worry, stress, or anything else that is evil.  His authority is real and when we are saved and born again, it's available to us by faith.  If we don't like the way we are living we can use his power to turn our lives around.

Father, it often seems that might makes right and I stand no chance, but I know your power can overcome any issues that I face. When I am in despair, fill me with faith in your power.

The Promise of God's Guidance

 

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17
Every Scripture has been inspired by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God .  It will empower you by it's instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you into the path of godliness. Then you will be God's servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you. (TPT)

Psalm 119:105

Truth's shinning light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your word makes my pathway clear. (TPT). 

 

Father without you I would wonder aimlessly.  I would be out of focus and distracted.  So I turn to you for guidance and direction.  Here I am Lord, show me the way.  Clear the clutter out of my life and my mind and fill me with your spirit of truth.  Bring me to the path of my salvation and to the footsteps of Christ.  Fill me with peace as I move forward.
Amen
~ Randy and Joan

God's Promise Of Courage

So cheer up! Take courage all you who love him.  Wait for him to break through for you, all who trust in him!

Psalm 32:24
(TPT)

 

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 
Isaiah 41:10
(NKJV)

We will probably never be face to face with live lions like Daniel. Or have to do physical battle with a giant like David.  But we will face fears and adversity that will require the same courage that Daniel and David had. 

Lord I have often found myself fearful and in need of courage.  It is then that I remember that my strengthen and salvation come form you.  You have authorized those who belong to you to use your word.  Whom shall I fear? 

Amen

God's Promise Of Provision

Promise of God's Provision

 

2 Corinthians 9:8
Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything - every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.
(TPT)

Philippians 4:19

I am convinced that my God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ!
(TPT)

 

During a recent prayer time Randy envisioned a banquet table full of good things.  And people were filling their plates, taking a small spoon of this and a small helping of something else, sampling the items available. Then there was a loud voice that said "take a full measure."  It was then that Randy realized that the table was full of the provision of God.  He doesn't want us to just sample and come back hungry.  He wants to satisfy our needs.

Thank you Father for meeting every need we have in life.  For you are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides.  For we know that you hold everything in your hands and will provide for your children.  Thank you for your abundance of blessings and goodness.

Righteousness

 

 

Promise of righteousness

2 Corinthians 5:21

For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with him. 
(TPT)

In the middle of yesterday's prayer time God gave Randy a type of vision.  Now these are rare but have happened before.  He saw a man driving up to the cross of Jesus in a very old, dilapidated, broken down,  rusted out pickup truck.  In the bed of the truck was what appeared to be used tin cans.  There was a foul, rotting stench coming from these cans.  The driver stopped at the left side of the cross and got out.  He was in tattered clothes and appeared to be in as broken down a state as the truck he was driving.  He walked to the back side of the cross and then reappeared on the right side of the cross.  He was totally cleaned up wearing fresh new clothes and driving a gleaming new vehicle.  This vision brought Randy to the point of tears.  There was a revelation of God's goodness.  The broken man exiting the vehicle represented us in need of our Savior.  The tin cans and the rotting stench represented our sins.  Getting out of the truck and walking around that cross was symbolic of leaving our sins at the foot of the cross.  Driving away  in the new clothes and the gleaming vehicle represented being forgiven and wrapped up in God's righteousness. Only God can take our sin and exchange it for glory. 

Father there are days we fill unworthy.  But you have promised to cleanse us from all sin and unrighteousness.  You have wiped away our sin and our guilt and made us new.  Your word tells us that as a righteousness person our prayers are powerful and effective.  We seek the truth of your word and the direction of the Holy Spirit.

~ Randy and Joan

 

Salvation

God's Word contains literally thousands of Bible promises waiting to be claimed in faith.  God's promises are available to believers not doubters.  Believing and obeying God are keys to unlocking his promises. God rewards faith not unbelief.  Faith pulls God's promises from the spirit realm to the physical realm.

It's our prayer that your faith and trust in the Lord will be increased as you seek Him to supply your needs. In the following weeks we will be sharing some of God's promises. This is where you start with God's promises.

The promise of salvation

Titus 3:5-6
He came to save us.  Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy.  He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth.  We are made completely new by the Holy Spirit, whom he splashed over us richly by Jesus, the Messiah, our life giver. 
(TPT)

John 3:16

For this is how much God loved the world He gave his one and only, unique son as a gift.  So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.
(TPT)

Salvation Prayer

Father I confess that I have not lived my life for you.  I have been living it for myself.  I need you in my life and I want you in my life.  I acknowledge that your Son Jesus Christ gave his life for me on the cross at Calvary.  I want to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice.  Come into my life now Lord and be my King and my Savior from this day forward.  I want to follow you for the rest of the days of my life.  I ask this in Jesus' name.  Amen

It's not merely the repeating of these words, but it's the commitment in faith that brings salvation.
