2 Corinthians 1:20 NKJVFor all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
The promises of God are given for our benefit and provide to us healing, protection, promotion, and prosperity
THESE PRECIOUS PROMISES OF GOD ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH, EMPOWERING OUR FAITH TO PREVAIL
PREVAIL- to prove more powerful than opposing forces; be victorious.
To overcome; to gain the victory or superiority; to gain the advantage.
Your faith in God is a powerful force that ensures victory and superiority
God has declared that your faith can move mountains. (Mark 11:22-24)
God has declared that your faith in him makes all things possible
Your faith will….prove more powerful than opposing forces
Your faith is victorious, it will gain the victory Your faith will overcome , Your faith is superior, Your faith will gain the advantage
God has declared that your faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4)
1 John 5:4 NKJVFor whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Your faith is the victory!· Your Faith is from God
Mark 11:22 NKJVSo Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
Your faith in God is the key that unlocks the door to the promises of God being seen in your life
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Your faith in God establishes you in a place of victory even in the day of adversity
What do we do in the day of adversity?
The Day of adversity will come but God has given us instructions for that day
The day of adversity is created by the enemy to drain your strength, and make you question your faith and abandon your joyful confidence in God
[For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be.
He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s [deadened] womb.
No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,
Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.
2. Created by the enemy to make you turn your attention and focus
Hebrews 12:2 NKJVlooking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
If we are looking at anything other than Jesus we will fail to receive the promise
Abraham considered not the impossibility
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
Do not consider the impossibility instead turn your eyes upon Jesus the author and finisher of your faithJesus has finished the work
The purchase was completed on the cross He has sit down at the right hand of the throne of God
The place of supreme authority and power
Hebrews 4:14–16 NKJVSeeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
There is grace to help in your time of need
you are not alone or helpless jesus is making petition to God on your behalf and he is praying for you
In Christ you have victory over every adversity There is no need to fear There is no need to worry
You have no need to worry there is a word from heaven concerning you
I will hear what God the Lord will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
You will not be denied instead you will be filled with peace from heaven
The hope of God will fill you
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I the Lord have spoken I have declared your outcome
I am he who declares the beginning from the end So think not of those things that appear to large for you to overcome Do not even consider the impossibilities But rest in me Rest in and relax in my love that I have for you says the Lord and let that holy Joy of the Holy Ghost fill your heart and mind Be Quick to praise Be quick to praise. and you will bide in a glorious place of my love quickening you my power filling you and my glory uplifting you says the Lord

Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.
Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me.

Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.
