God's Promises Will Prove True

Psalm 18:29-30
In Your Strength I CAN crush an army; with my God I CAN scale any wall. As for God, his Way is Perfect. ALL The Lord's PROMISES Prove True!

Read Hebrews 6:9-15

Focus Verse: Hebrews 6:12

"We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised."

1. Don’t Slow Down
   

   LAZY - sluggish, slow, tired

2. Follow the Leader
   

   IMITATE - to mimic or to mime

FAITH has a two-fold meaning:

1. Faith is an attitude - It is trusting God. 
   'Faith is the confident expectation that God can and will act according to His word.'
2. Faith is an action - faith is faithfulness.

God will sometimes wait until it looks absolutely impossible and then release the promise.  As an example, read about Abraham & his only son Isaac, the fulfillment of God's promise in Genesis 22:1-13.

Attitude & Action will bring the promise!  Trust & Obey (there is still no other way!)  Galatians 6:9 encourages us that '...in due time you will reap if you faint not'.

PATIENCE - 'a state of emotional calm in the face of provocation or unfavourable circumstances.'

Practical Tip: When experiencing frustration, instead of breathing out in fury, breathe in deeply and relax.

'In the year of Acceleration, we won't give in to frustration'

- Pastor Pam Begley

Faith & Patience work together:

• FAITH'S ATTITUDE - Focusing on God’s Character - He will do what He has promised.
• PATIENCE - Focusing on Our Character - Remain calm while we are waiting for God to do what he has said

CHALLENGE: If the enemy is causing you to doubt by saying, "its 25 years; Give Up...", reply with confidence, "God said it and He will do it!"  In this series we learned that "promises" means 'the word of God'.  His promises are His word and His word IS written!
