Promises of the bible

A lot is going on in this world.

From covid happening, mass shootings, wildfires, hurricanes, and more 

Many people have died in the last few years

But if you are reading this 

That means you are still here, Alive 

And as long as you are alive, as long as you have breath in your lungs

Something good can happen for you

This world is crazy but through it all, 

God has kept you

You made it through different trials and tribulations

God has you in his hand

Caring for you, providing for you, and keeping you

There is a song that I like called live by JJ Hairston

The song says you are going to live to see it happen

What is "it" that you are going to see?

You are going to live to see every promise that God has for you

There are many promises in the Bible

Here are just a few promises 

- God will never leave us or forsake us 

(Hebrews 13:5)

The word forsake means to abandon 

God will never leave you or abandon you

Know there is nothing you can do to have God leave 

-When you seek the Lord, You will find Him 

Seek the Lord, your God, and you will find him

(Deuteronomy 4:29)

- God Loves You 

For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,

(John 3:16)

For I have loved you with an everlasting love, with loving kindness I have drawn, you says the Lord

(Jeremiah 31:3)

There are so many bible verses that talk about how we are loved, and if you want some, you can click here for some great bible verses 

- Nothing can separate us from God's love

(Romans 8:38-39)

There is nothing that you or anyone can do that can make God stop loving you. God loves you

- Jesus came that we can have and enjoy life in abundance

(John 10:10) 

The amplified translation says that Jesus came so we can have and enjoy life in abundance to the full until it overflows. God wants us, his children, happy, whole, and healed from sickness, pain, and strife. Can you be sick and enjoy life? 

No! that is why...

- God wants you healed

There are many bible verses on healing. Why? Because it is God's will for you to be healed

In the bible days, Jesus went around proclaiming the good news and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

(Matthew 4:23)

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever 

(Hebrews 13:8)

That means that it was God's will to heal then, and it is his will now

There is a song by elevation worship called Same God, and when I think of that bible verse, I think of the song. I will have the song Live and same God at the end of this post.

- God will give you strength 

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak

(Isaiah 40:29)

- God is on your side and wants you not to fear

So do not fear; I am with you

Do not be dismayed, for I am your God

I will strengthen you and help you

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

(Isaiah 41:10)

For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind.

(2 Timothy 1:7) 

- Nothing is impossible with God

(Luke 1:37)

-The Lord cares for you

(1 Peter 5:7)

Know that He cares and that you can tell Him anything

You are here for a reason; you do not know how many people you could have blessed already. 

God knows your heart, and God loves you.

God has a purpose and a plan for you. 

A plan for your happiness

I don't know what you have been through or anything about your past

But know that your future is bright and You can achieve your dreams

You Will Live To See It Happen

Below is the song I talked about Live 

May I  pray for you?

Father God,

I thank you for being a loving Father

I pray for the person reading this

I pray that you will bless them and their love ones

Let them see all you have for them, Lord

I pray that every good promise in the Bible will come to pass

That the pain and hardship of the past will be nothing compared to

all the greatness in their future

I pray that nothing will stop them 

Let them be all you called them to be

Let blessing flow, and they will be in the overflow

There are a lot of things going on

But I pray that they will not fear 

Lord, continue to protect and provide for them.

I pray that they will more than just be a survivor, they will thrive

And great and marvelous things  will come to pass

That they will eat the fruits of their labor 

That every closed door will be open to them

Favor will be on them

I pray that You, oh Lord, will strengthen their vision 

Their capacity to receive will be endless

So the blessing will keep flowing 

I pray Ephesians 3:20 over their life

That what you have for them, Lord, is bigger than anything

they have ever imagined in their life

I pray that they will receive all You have for them, Lord

May all the good promises of the Bible 

Come alive in their lives, and they see all the amazing things life has to offer

I pray that they feel your love, Lord

Wrap your loving arms around them

Keep protecting and providing for them

Open their eyes so they can see

All you have for them and how much you love them, Lord

Amen

You Are Powerful

 I want to tell you something that you may not know. You are powerful. You are strong and have power in you.

The Holy Spirit lives in you; Christ lives in you and gives you power and strength.

Isaiah 41:10 says, " So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

It says it right there in the bible God will give you strength. 

there is also Philippians 4:13 that says, " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

You are strong and have power through our Lord. 

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind."

I am trying to tell you that we all have power; I know it is hard to believe it at times because life can be challenging. 

You may have been put down, you may have been counted out, and you may find it hard to believe it, but you are strong and powerful because of Christ. 

I saw this message on youtube by Tony Evans about elephants in the circus 

In the circus, the elephants have one leg chained by a little peg in the ground, but the elephants don't move or run.

Why? The elephants can rip that small peg out of the ground at any moment,  

All the elephant has to do is pull the chained leg, and the little peg would come out of the ground, freeing the elephant, but the elephant doesn't move.

The reason the elephants don't move is very simple the elephants are unaware of their power.

When the elephants are little babies, the chain would be able to hold them, keeping them from moving.

But as an adult elephant, that chain won't keep them from moving; their mindset keeps them from being free.

The elephants have the power, but since the elephant was young, it was taught that when the chain is on, it has no power and can't move.

I heard that elephants are afraid of ants. 

An elephant is bigger and stronger than ants, but elephants are afraid of ants.

Imagine that the things that are holding you back, the things that you are afraid of, are afraid of you, are more powerful than those things.

Like the elephants, you are powerful because God gave you strength and power.

Don't let problems hold you back; pull your leg, exert your power, and be free from the chained peg.

Don't fear anything because you have the Lord on your side. God loves you and wants you to live a happy, wonderful, fulfilled life; God wants you to enjoy life in abundance to the full, in overflow.

John 10:10 amplified version says The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

Don't let anything stop you from your dreams 

You are powerful

Don't give up on yourself, your life, your dream, hopes, or desires

You have the power to do anything you put your mind to

I heard this story about a farmer and a donkey; one day, the farmer and donkey were walking, and the donkey fell into a hole,

the farmer didn't know how to get the donkey out of the hole, so the farmer thought to bury the donkey alive

The farmer got his friends, and they started to bury the donkey alive

The donkey at first cried and felt sorry for himself, but the donkey did something remarkable every time the dirt fell down on the donkey's back, he would shake the dirt off and step up

As the farmer's friends continued to shovel dirt on the donkey, he would shake it off and step up

Soon the donkey was at the top of the hole and free to run off

what did the donkey do?

The donkey could have thought that is it,

there is nothing I can do now

NO! The donkey didn't give up

He knew he still had the power to be free 

Don't let your past or a wrong mindset destroy your future or keep you stuck, fearful of things that should fear you.

That is what the elephants did. 

You have power, so be like the donkey and know you can break free of the hole, break free of the peg chained to the ground. 

Nothing too hard for God 

With God, all things are possible 

You can do anything with his help

Let me pray for you

Father God,

I pray for the person reading this blog post

I pray that they see their power

For they have power through you

I pray that you give them the strength they need

the strength to go after their dreams 

fight for their lives

fight to be happy

Father God, I pray that they know you in a special way

bless them, be with them and let them come to you

I pray that the person reading this will feel your love, Lord 

Amen

Below I put two Videos of which this blog post is about:

It Can't Be Done

 It Can't Be Done  

Man who misses all the fun, 

Is he who says, " It can't be done. "  

In solemn pride, he stands aloof  

And greets each venture with reproof.  

Had he the power he'd efface  

The history of the human race;  

We'd have no radio or motor cars,  

No streets lit by electric stars;  

No telegraph nor telephone,  

We'd linger in the age of stone.  

The world would sleep if things were run  

By men who say " It can't be done. "  

(This is a great poem I heard that was not written by me, but below are my thoughts)

This poem says a lot, and it is very true. The truth is, don't let anyone tell you "It Can't Be Done." Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. 

The sky is the limit, and you can do anything. God is on your side and can help you achieve far more than you can imagine. 

Think about all the greatest inventions ever made, they seem impossible, and some people were definitely saying it can't be done. 

The airplane is an excellent example before the Wright Brothers built, invented, and flew the first successful motor-operated airplane. I believe many thought it couldn't be done. 

Before many people climbed Mount Everest, it seemed impossible for some people to climb. Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain, but 4,000 people have climbed it.

The truth is there is nothing that can't be done; if someone did, if just one person did it, so can you. If no one did it, that doesn't mean it can't be done; it just means you will be the first. With God, all things are possible; keep trying, keep dreaming, and keep going after your goals because it can be done.
