GOD'S PROMISES
GOD COMMISSIONED ME AS AN APOSTLE & MESSENGER, TO WRITE HIS WORD:
My mandate in the Kingdom Of God In Christ Jesus, an assignment from the Lord is to write His global social media gospel biblical truth to His national, nations Kingdom sons and daughters worldwide:
Apostle James R Winfree, Sr.
God's Promises,
Yes, Yeshua, who sat on His throne said, “Behold, He makes all things New.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:5
God's Kingdom sons and daughters in the faith, There are hundreds of God’s promises in the Bible. How can we know which promises apply to us, and which promises we can claim? To frame this question another way, how can one tell the difference between general promises and specific promises? A general promise is given by the Holy Spirit to every believer at every age. When the author penned the promise, he set no limitations on the period or recipient.
An example of a biblical promise is 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This promise is based on the forgiving nature of God and is available to all of Jesus Christ's Believers everywhere. Another example of a biblical promise is Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This promise is made to all Yeshua Believers who, refusing to worry, bring their requests to God. Other examples of biblical promises include Psalm 1:3; 27:10; 31:24; John 4:13-14 (note the word “Whoever”); and Revelation 3:20.
A specific God promise is made to specific individuals on specific occasions. The context of the promise will usually make clear who the recipient is. For example, the promise of 1 King 9:5 is very specific: “I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever.” The preceding and following verses make it clear that God is speaking only to King Solomon.
Luke 2:35 contains another specific God promise: “And a sword will pierce your soul too.” This prophecy/promise was directed to Mary and was fulfilled in her lifetime. While a specific God promise is not made to all believers generally, the Holy Spirit can still use a specific biblical promise to guide or encourage any of His children. For example, the promise of Isaiah 54:10 was written with Israel in mind, but the Holy Spirit has used these words to comfort many Christians today: “my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed. Yes we now can claim these promises in Christ”.
As Apostle Paul was commanded to take the gospel to the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul also claimed the promise of Isaiah: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47). Isaiah’s promise was originally meant for the Messiah YAH YESHUA, but in it, Apostle Paul found guidance from the Lord for his own life. When claiming one of God’s promises from Scripture, we should keep the following principles in mind my brothers and sisters and fellow ministers:
God’s promises are sometimes conditional. Look for the word “if” in the context.
God gives us promises to help us better submit to His will and trust Him. A promise does not make God bend to our will.
We cannot presume to know precisely when, where, or how God’s promises will be fulfilled in our lives.
Our Heavenly Father Can't Lie!!!
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, Titus 1:2. Amen.
