God's Promises: Monday
Belief; Faith; Mercy; Worship; Prayer; Guidance; Fruitfulness; Holy Spirit; Salvation; and Peace. CBS Version.
Belief: Romans 9:33: "As it is written: Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over, and a rock to trip over, yet the one who believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Faith: James 1:5-6: "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be give to him. 6 But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind."
The ones who do not believe are given plenty to deal with. This is the Lords way of trying to shake them up and bring them to Him. But if they do not heed, they will receive more and more disruption in their lives. This comes from experience in my own life.
Mercy: Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him."
He is a compassionate Father without a doubt. He has such great love for us all.
Worship: Psalm 99:9: "Exalt in the Lord our God; bow in worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy."
He is Holy, He is Holy, He is Holy, our God!
Prayer: Isaiah 30:19: "For you people will live on Zion in Jerusalem and will never cry again. He will show favor to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He will answer you."
Yes, the Lord answers our prayers faithfully. Maybe not in the way we want, but He does answer them. We just need to be patient and wait on Him, as it's by His timing.
Guidance: Proverbs 16:9: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps."
This is true. Without the Lord's guidance, we set ourselves up for stumbling often. We can't go it alone. With the Lord, life is much, much better. Without Him, there is much, much sadness and frustration.
Fruitfulness: Jeremiah 31:12: "They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant with joy because of the Lord's goodness, because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil, and because of the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer grow weak [from hunger].
Isn't this great!
Holy Spirit: John 7:38-39: "The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.' 39 He said this about the Spirit, whom those who do believe in Him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been received, because Jesus had not yet been glorified."
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is a beautiful thing when we listen to Him.
Salvation: 2 Corinthians 5:21: "He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
What a sacrifice God and Jesus made. All to save us from our sins. If that isn't a profession of love, I don't know what is. This morning, I was woken at 3, and finally gave in and got up at 3:30 am. I was sitting praying by my computer after I turned it on. The screensaver came up and He spoke and said, "look at your screen." There was Jesus in the clouds with His arms outstretched and it said, "How much do I love you? And He spread His arms and died on the cross for us." Hmmm, that is a lot of love.
Peace: Psalm 85:8: "I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to His people, His godly ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways."
When we follow the Lord, we do not have to worry about being foolish. When we let ourselves slip away from Him, we set ourselves up for embarrassment.
Belief: Romans 9:33: "As it is written: Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over, and a rock to trip over, yet the one who believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Faith: James 1:5-6: "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be give to him. 6 But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind."

God's Promises: Monday
Belief; Faith; Mercy; Worship; Prayer; Guidance; Fruitfulness; Holy Spirit; Salvation; Peace. (NKJV)
Belief: Acts 10:43: "All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins."
What more could one ask for? It's that simple.
Faith: Hebrews 11:6: "But they now aspire to a better land--a heavenly one. Therefore Gos is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them."
The Father has a beautiful home waiting for us. When we believe and follow, we have a lot to look forward to.
Mercy: Exodus: 34: 6-7 : "And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children tothe third and the fourth generation."
Jesus showed much mercy to the people. Our Father is a merciful God. We should be thankful for all that they do for us.
Worship: Psalm 95:6-7: "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand."
We have more strength when we are on our knees!
Prayer: Matthew 21:22: "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
When praying, we must do so in faith if we wish to have our prayers answered. On the same token, we must be patient and remember that it's all on His time and according to His plans for us.
Guidance: Psalm 48:14: "For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death."
God will never desert us. He's always there through the good and the bad.
Fruitfulness: Psalm 1:3: "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."
When we live in faith, we will be fruitful.
Holy Spirit: John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
To be filled with the Holy Spirit, to have the helper with us is the most wonderful beautiful experience. We should ask daily to be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to walk in the way of the Lord.
Salvation: 2 Corinthian's 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
Amen! Letting go of the past is so important in order to hav the closeness with the Lord.
Peace: Colosians 3:15: "And let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hynms and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
Yes, take in the word, let is fill you, worship Him and listen to the words of the songs, taking in every word sung/spoken. Fill yourself with His teachings.
May the Lord fill you with His blessings and walk with you daily. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Belief: Acts 10:43: "All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins."

Gods Promises: Monday
I was going to start this yesterday and make it a daily thing, but will start it today and make it a double take. Each day is going to be Bible verses on seven different subjects. Hopefully this will help us all know where to turn in special times, and help others with anything you may be struggling with. The ideas came from: "The Bible Promise Book, The King James Version by Barbour Publishing, 1990.
So yesterday's touches on Belief; Faith; Mercy; Worship; Prayer; Guidance; Fruitfulness; Holy Spirit; Salvation; Peace.
Belief: John 3:16. I had just done a post on this very scripture. It is a good reminder though. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This one is also a promise of Salvation through Christ; as well as a promise of Christ for Salvation.
Faith: Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Walking in faith, believing that God will do as He has stated through His word, that He will take care of us; all we have to do is believe. The two walk hand in hand!
Mercy: Isaiah 30:18: "Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He wil be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him." This is a promise God makes to us when we are waiting on mercy. God is a merciful God.
Worship: Psalm 66:4: "All the earth will worship You and sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name." This is something we should be doing daily to our Father. He deserves our thanks always. Worshipping opens up your soul to the Lord and creates an aliveness with inside you.
Prayer: Matthew 7:7-8: "7Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
Guidance: Isaiah 30:21: "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left." God doesn't play games with us. He wants us to follow Him. When we agree to genuinely follow, He will make sure we understand what it is He wants us to do. So, walk in faith and believe, then He will guide you.
Fruitfulness: John 15:1-5: "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruite He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches. he who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." Without allowing Jesus to live in us and us in Him, we are nothing, we're lost sheep wandering the land. When we allow Him in, we are able to do anything He asks of us.
This reminds me of part of what we learned the past weekend, we must be willing to takes risks. For He is not going to put us in danger. He asks us to do things that we may not be comfortable doing, but must work in faith and belief! Amazing how this all ties together huh?
Holy Spirit: Proverbs 1:23: "Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you." Ahh, being filled with the Holy Spirit, there is nothing like it. How about sharing some testimonies of being filled and led. Just leave me a message in my comment box letting me know you have written one or more. If you would, link back to this message so others can see what it is all about. Thanks.
Salvation: John 3:3-7: "3Jesus answered and said to him, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' 4Nicodemus said to Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' 5Jesus answered, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again."
Peace: Isaiah 57:19: "I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,' Says the Lord, 'And I will heal him." This is a promise for peace and healing. Also a promise to preserve with healing.
All the verses I have posted are from the NKJV. Next M onday I will post more verses on the same subjects until I have exhausted scriptures on these very subjects. Hope to see you back here. Each day will be a set of seven different subjects.
