Promises of God’s Provision and Guidance
🌟 “Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him.”
🙏 The reason why the promises of God are so cherishable, magnificent, and precious is because they come from Almighty God Himself.
📝 To claim a promise, we must first believe in it and then understand how to claim it.
💎 The promise of forgiveness and cleansing from God allows us to stay spiritually clean in a corrupt world.
💡 The work of the Holy Spirit is essential in delivering a powerful message, as our own eloquence and education are insufficient without His influence.
🙏 “Your heavenly Father knows that you need all of these things.”
🙏 “This is the confidence which we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”
🙏 “Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.”
🙏 “Whatever burden you’re dealing with, He’s the burden bearer. You bring it before Him, you lay it before Him.”
💡 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all people generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” – God promises to grant wisdom to those who seek it, providing guidance in times of uncertainty.
Recognizing and Claiming God’s Abundance
🙏 It’s important to recognize and claim the abundance that God has provided for us, rather than living as if we are paupers and constantly complaining about not having enough.
🙏 Many believers focus on what they don’t have and unanswered prayers, but fail to recognize the wealth and value they possess through their relationship with God.
💰 How wealthy you are as a child of God by the gift of His magnificent and precious promises, they are yours, but you must cash in on them.
🙏 “Deposited within these bodies of ours and these minds of ours is every single solitary thing we need, given to us as a promise from Almighty God.” – God has already given us everything we need, and He is there to provide for us in every situation.
The Value and Power of Jesus’ Presence
🙏 Having Jesus Christ living inside us is the most valuable thing we can possess, as His presence brings hope, glory, and the power to overcome.
🙏 The promise of God’s continued presence in our lives is a unique and comforting assurance that no one else can offer.
🙏 “I possess Jesus as my intimate Friend, who lives on the inside of me and who promised that no matter what goes on in my life, He will never leave me.”
