Rehearse, Repeat, and Memorize the Promises of God

 Happy Sunday!

"I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart, so I won’t sin myself bankrupt." (Psalm 119:11 Message Translation).

It is so beneficial to Rehearse, Repeat, and Memorize the Promises of God. 

So often we can be blinded by our personal needs, our personal problems, and the trials of our life.  All the while there are others in the world who would love to have the blessings and opportunities that we enjoy. There are others that could use what we have been given to excel and succeed. Luke 12:48 says, "The servant who knows what his master wants and ignores it, or insolently does whatever he pleases, will be thoroughly thrashed. But if he does a poor job through IGNORANCE, he’ll get off with a slap on the hand. Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!" (Message Translation).  Don't miss this!  The KJV version says it this way, "For unto whomsoever much is GIVEN, of him shall be much REQUIRED: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

The Apostle Peter wrote, "His divine power has given us EVERYTHING we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature." 2 Peter 1:3-4 (Voice Translation). God has given us GREAT and VALUABLE PROMISES! 

Romans 8:16-17 says, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ." (King James Version).  When we accepted Jesus as our Personal Savior we became the children of God, and joint heirs with Christ. All of the PROMISES and blessings given to Christ are now available to us. We accept all of this by Faith. SEARCH the Word for yourself, FIND those promises and STAND on them by Faith. Remember, "God is not a man—He doesn’t lie. God isn’t the son of a man to want to take back what He’s said, or say something and not follow through, or speak and not act on it." Numbers 23:19 (Voice Translation).
