"God has given us His very great and precious promises so that through them we can participate in His divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. There are over 7,000 promises in the bible, one for every problem in our lives. There is one for that very problem you are having right now. He gave them to us to save us from the agony of defeat, so take them, meditate on them, and have faith them.
Do not expect answers to your prayers if you do not know what God has promised you. If we do not know His promises, how then can we have faith in them? If His promises have slipped by you Go Here.
Claim those promises as your own, like God is talking to you. Take them, the ones that say He will prosper you, the promises that say you are healed by the blood of Jesus, and the ones that proclaim He has come to heal your broken heart.
You want to know what He has promised you. You need to know what He has written in His letter to you, the guarantee of your sweet success. Those promises will help you understand exactly what the writing below is trying to say to you.
"Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah)".
You are a child of God, Christ's heir, which means those promises are handed down to you too...Yes you! Therefore it is important that you read those promises, take them into your heart, and register them into your mind. Accept them like a child does their parents words.
When a parent tells their child they are going to take them to get an ice cream cone, they do exactly that. They take them to the ice cream parlor and let them get whatever flavor their little heart desires. When God says, "the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever." God is talking to you. He is telling you that Ultimate success is yours for the taking...because you love and honor Him.
God said there isn't anything He wouldn't do for those who love Him! Thus He gives you His promise, His written guarantee, that He will take care of you and protect you from anything that is harmful. Yes, poverty is harmful, and sickness, yes indeed. A broken heart can be disasterous, even loneliness cannot hurt you. But we have to be wealthy on the inside before we can be truly successful in the world.
Do you believe God when He tells you "Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place". God will bring you into your wealthy place when you turn your face back to Him and give Him your heart.
What are you saying about God's promises that's keeping you from a life of Success? What are you telling your friends and relatives that block prosperity and abundance from coming into your life? Remember, there is power in the tongue, and Solomon said in Proverbs 6:2 "We are snared by the words of our mouth".
Our words will trip us up and trick us every time if we let them, then we have exactly what we said. So start saying aloud, "I am blessed, I am prosperous, I am abundantly supplied." Bring that buried treasure that is stored in your heart out into the open, because if you don't you will draw bad things to you and be taken under.
Watch what you say, think before you speak, and ask God to help you. If things are the way you want them to be, then begin thanking God and they will stay that way. If they're not however, start calling things the way you want them to be and they shall be.
If you will take a good look at your life right now, you will see what you have been calling to yourself. You will be able to see what you have taken into your heart and believe is true. You will find, if you take a real close look, that you have accepted those defeats and they are stuck to you like glue, and you have faith in that.
Faith doesn't accept defeat, faith takes control, and it takes the Word of God. Faith doesn't see problems, it only sees God and does what He says. Faith enables us to see into the truths of the supernatural where we are able to see through God's telescopic lenses. That's where all things happen...our prosperity, healing, peace and joy. Through the eyes of faith is where God's rescue mission is. It is in the supernatural realm of the Spirit, and we can only see through those lenses when God gives His Word to faith through us. We can't see into God's world with our own eyes because God is spirit, we can only see it when we have faith.
"We, having the same Spirit of faith," and it is written, "I believe therefore have I spoken." And we also believe and we have spoken, and when we believe and say what we believe, it comes to pass. Believing in ourselves and in the spirit within, we are able to see, in our minds eye, how it should be. Then we will interact with it, feel it, and believe it because we saw it.
Say aloud, "I have it, its mine" (whatever the need) and let it be so. If its money you need say, "I have (say the amount) in my checking account and it's mine. Its my blessing from God and I have it because Jesus said according to my faith it will be done. Glory be to God". Now its yours, so repeat this throughout the day for reinforcement.
God saw, God said, and it was good. We saw, we say, and it is good. Whatever it is you need, see it in your imagination, say it aloud, and you will have it. "Faith is being sure of what we hoped for, and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1.
It's faith that extends out into the Kingdom of Heaven and grabs hold of the promises and brings your blessings to you. That's how you get your new car, healing for your body, or that wonderful new relationship. Faith makes action happen here on earth. When you need something in your life, believe you already have it and you will see it coming alive.
Tell God what you want Him to do for you. Let Him know you cannot do it on your own. Tell Him exactly what you want in detail and don't leave anything out. He will then begin moving and making the necessary changes to make it happen. It is vitally important at this point that you stand firm in faith.
Faith works in two places, in your heart and in your mouth. It works in your heart by how you really feel and what you say about how you feel. Your words will tell on you if you they are not faith filled words.
Faith gives God an opening so He can move from the supernatural into the natural and into your situation. Faith gives Him the "O.K I'm ready" sign so He can start working on your situation. Faith equals love and trust, and that's what He needs so the guarantee of His promise can be fulfilled.
Find the promises that pertain to your particular problem. Write them down and affirm them in your heart and repeat them until your faith rises up within you and your body begins to line up with the Word. It is the power of faith that gives miracles reality.
"Without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and He rewards those who earnestly seek Him". Hebrews 11:6
If you do not believe in God, you do not have faith, and without faith God cannot do anything for you. But His gifts are gracious to those who seriously seek Him, and His arms will reach out to you when you begin searching.
Whatever you receive will be by the grace of God. God's grace is spectacular and He will give it to you in every area of your life. Faith is the doorway into God's grace, which gives us the right to enter into the supernatural. We can't get there any other way.
"The works of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent" John 6:29.
God has given us simply requirements to enter the heavenly realm. All you have to do is believe in the one He sent to give you life. Then faith will say, "I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. I am rich. I am emotionally stable" .
God is an extraordinary God! He can take a normal, ordinary person and make them do extraordinary things. His words will bring you into the life He created you for.
God has announced explicitly what He is going to do, and faith says, "I have been granted the desires of my heart. I believe this is true and I receive my victory, because my faith has overcome". If you believe this is true, God will deliver you the power to receive what He has promised.
Your future is stored in your heart, and when you store up the good Words of God, good things will overflow and come out of you. God's Words will come out of your mouth. It will be Him saying "Let there be prosperity, let there be health". It will be God saying that. God speaks for you, when you take His Words in.
God wants us to ask for what we need so He can fulfill our greatest dreams. So ask, then be patient! Sometimes it takes awhile to fix everything we messed up. God will not allow you to go through more than you can endure. Don't listen to your emotions, they will lie to you. Focus on God and talk to Him, memorize His promises, read His word, and think about Him continually. Include Him in everything you do. If you're in pain, don't just sit there and let it roll over on you, ask Jesus to take your pain away. When your faith is firmly grounded, it will go, guaranteed. He will literally take it from you.
Faith and patience is the key to your success because scriptures says "through faith and patience we inherit the promises".
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Nothing gives us more pleasure. He is your source of great satisfaction, comfort, amusement, solace, relief, recreation, entertainment and fun. The more you spend time in the word, the more you'll learn to trust Him, then you will learn to delight in Him and receive everything He promised.
You need the Word of God everyday to keep you in faith. The demands of daily life can keep you busy. Meeting the obligations of your family life and your career can leave you feeling drained, especially when you're trying to make the right choices. You want to make the right decisions that will keep God's best flowing in your family, finances, and home.
When you spend time with God, you'll discover He can fill you to overflowing. You can face your day with the strength, vitality and faith necessary to meet every situation. You'll get wisdom, insight and understanding that you can put you on the road to your Ulimate success and keep you there. And because you're putting God first in your life, you'll find solutions to the challenges that come your way.
I hope you learn to receive everything God has promised you. Your access to the desires of your heart is through faith. So desire a deeper faith daily and along with your faith scripture says, "Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love".
Hebrews 11:1
I pray that God's abundant grace, mercy and love will be evident in and throughout your life, my friend, and I wholeheartedly seek the fulfillment of His purpose for you - to His glory and your eternal joy. If there is anything I can do to assist in your faith walk, please let me know.
