The Promises of God:

"Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16).

This is a sort of backhanded promise :-) If we are struggling with our old nature - lusting after earthly things instead of spiritual and heavenly things - it tells us to "WALK IN THE SPIRIT" - Another benefit of living AFTER the cross! The Holy Spirit was outpoured into the hearts of believers to empower them to walk in a God-like manner! It's like a secret diet pill that promises to make you thinner - only this is way better - and it REALLY WORKS! BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT of God and it is like the "secret ingredient" that makes life flow - or like the gasoline in your car - no gas - you're grounded!  No Holy Spirit - You're STUCK! Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you today to overflowing!

The Promises of God:

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:6, 14).

Sin does NOT have DOMINION over us! Do you get that?! We are so blessed to live after the CROSS - before the CROSS - SIN had dominion! Jesus death and resurrection gave US the dominion over sin and the devil! Are you being attacked and tempted today? RISE UP O man or woman of God and RESIST that evil one - he will FLEE! YOU have been given dominion! NO weapon formed against you can prosper! IN HIS NAME go forth conquering and to conquer!

The Promises of God:

"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).

What a promise! No need for 100's or 1000's of believers before God shows up! Some speakers won't come unless a certain size audience is guaranteed - not so with God - 2 or 3 is enough for HIM!! HALLELUJAH! What a Saviour!

The Promises of God:

"With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:3).

Here we have a promise of JOY in drawing water from the well of salvation - It gives us the idea that salvation is an ongoing experience that keeps our joy level overflowing - Peter refers to it as - "joy unspeakable and full of glory" - Are you feeling DRY - or maybe even questioning your salvation? Go take a drink at the well of full salvation that NEVER runs dry!

The Promises of God:

"Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. The LORD will give grace and glory" (Psalm 84:4, 11).

The Psalmist here sees the value and blessing of remaining close to the house of the Lord - Our world has changed so much that the value of staying close to God's house is no longer viewed as desirable - The blessings we reap from keeping connected to HIS house are immeasurable! Let's now allow the "world's" view to influence our behavior! The Psalm ends with the promise that God will give us "grace and glory" as we walk uprightly! It takes grace and glory to stay connected - but it is promised! :-)

The Promises of God:

"Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted" (Psalm 89:15, 16).

There are actually promises attached to making a "JOYFUL SOUND" :-) Joy will fill our own hearts and lives and HIS righteousness will be exalted! Sounds like what we are aiming for! Don't wait until you take music lessons to make that JOYFUL SOUND! :-)

The Promises of God:

"Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God" (Psalm 92:13).

Here is incentive to keep ourselves planted in the house of the LORD! We live in a world that draws and pulls us AWAY from the house of the LORD - David had a passion for being in the place where God's presence was - let it be true of us as well - when we are in love with HIM - a team of wild horses cannot keep us from the house of the Lord!
