Standing on his Promises


Did you know that God has made many promises in the Word for his people?

In my life all that has happened has been covered by the Blood of Jesus. We have an inheritance to all that God has promised us. When he gave to Abraham the New Covenant. Many are listed in Deuteronomy; He lists all of the benefits for those who walk in obedience to Him.

Did you know that there are things that no doctor or person could help us with ? When we receive our miracle, we know the Lord continues to bless us. God has already provided us with promises for every need we will ever need, so that we could not only look to Him for them, but so that we could put our faith in him and know without a doubt God has the answer.

Standing on His Word for His Promises

We need to understand how to, or the importance of standing on, God's word for His promises. When we believe for the Lord to move in our lives, we must find two or three scriptures that agree with us. In His Word, He states that where two or more agree, it shall be done. For this reason, when we pray His word, we are praying the results, rather than on the problem. We are believing Him for the answer by relying on God.

Don't Take his Word Out of Context!

Never take his word out of context... never twist the true meaning of scriptures into what you want it to mean, because that is clearly false. In this area, that is what the enemy uses to confuse us. If you do not know whether a certain scripture is for the purpose you would like to use it for, then ask God to reveal it to you.

Be Careful What You Say:
"Bless" and do not "Curse"

The words that we speak are powerful. The Lord warned us that we will be responsible for every idle word that comes out of our mouth. If you speak doubtful words, you can literally block answers to your own prayers! His angels could be on their way with the answer, and you could speak doubt from being tired of waiting, and bind them from your lack of faith.

God's Will is His Word .


When you pray the Word, you pray the will of God, and the answer rather than focusing on the problem. If we are instructed to do what Jesus did, we need to learn how to speak the "end from the beginning". When you pray the promises, you pray the answers.God's word declares that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (the more we hear it, the more we believe and understand it) which is why we need to meditate on it day and night, and speak God's truth in our lives until we do it while we sleep. In other words, to stand on God's Word is to believe that He is not a man that He should lie, and that His word is truth. It is and always has been God's will for us to prosper in all things.

When Jesus said "it is my wish above everything else", that means that He is fervently stating what He wants for your life... more than anything. He loves you so much that He wants you to prosper in "all" things and to be in health, just as He wants your soul to prosper.

He came to give us an abundance of all good things, so thank Him for every good thing that He has done in your life. As you stand on His promises.
