GOD’S PROMISE TO US

The Bible is the word of God, and it is powerful and life changing.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 is God first promise to us.  “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching for reproof, correction, and training in holiness.  So that the man of God may be fully competent, and equipped for every good work."  God’s Word shares His divine authority, and that authority is exercised through those who are ministers of the Word.  Now if they preach the truth of God’s Word, it makes us realize what is wrong in our lives.  It will correct us and teach us to do what is right.  God’s Word also enables us to share in His divine nature and escape our sinful nature caused by our worldly desires.  God’s promise us in “Jeremiah 29:11-12 He has a plan for us, says the Lord, a plan for our welfare, not for woe! Plans to give us a future full of hope.  And when we call Him, when we go to pray to Him, He will listen to us."  The Word tells us "If we look for God wholeheartedly, we will find Him."

God promise us that His Word has the power to change our lives; we just need a real desire to change.  The Word will deliver us from whatever sin, addiction, or problem we face; I know because He delivered me.  Once He delivers us He will give us guidance to the plans He has for us, a plan for good and not a disaster.

Father, right now there’s someone who needs to hear You, Lord in their minds they want to change, but the devil has a toe hold on them.  Lord, give them the desire to seek You wholeheartedly so they will find You.  Lord, use us as a vessel to draw them to Your Word, so Your divine power can change their hearts and lives right now in the name of Jesus.  Father release them from drugs and alcohol addictions, release them from prostitution, release them from whatever chains that have them bound and equip them for every good work.  Lord, show them Your plan for their lives, a plan to give them a future full of hope.  Father, You said, if we call You when we pray you will listen to us.  Please hear us now in Jesus name Amen.
