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!
Focus Verse: 2 Peter 1:3-4
"For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature."
Precious means 'of exceptional value'. Great means 'many'. Did you know that there are almost 8000 promises in God's Word for your life? WOW!! Here are a few, just from Psalms:

Why is it Important for Us to Know God’s Promises?
You can't pursue what you don't know! Being a Christian is all about promises. It's not just about getting to heaven. It's not even just about being forgiven. It's about knowing and walking in the manifest promises of God for every area of your life. His promises are given by grace and received by faith. If you are experiencing God's promises, you will be the Light the bible talks about and you will win many to the Lord because anyone living in the promises of God is attractive and the world will want what you have.
Rewards & Recognition Program
God has a great Rewards program! His promises motivate us. There are many Loyalty programs out their but none that match God's rewards when you are loyal and faithful to Him! Don't forfeit the promises of God for temporal gain!
The word Escape means 'to slip away from pursuit, to avoid being captured'. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Ghost. Dip in the oil of the Spirit of God and the devil won't ever be able to get a grip on you! You can always 'slip away' from his hold.
LOOK forward to God's promises and MOVE forward in God's purposes because ALL God's promises are TRUE and they are for YOU!
CHALLENGE: Read the Word of God every day this week and discover and record in your journal at least one promise from His Word for each day! Then be loyal and faithful to God and watch how quickly you see His promises manifest in your life!

WOW! When I think on how many promises God has actually given us, it's overwhelming. We're so unworthy of them all, but by the grace and mercy of God and the precious blood of Jesus. Thank you God. You are too good to us. Where would we be without you in our lives. Thanks to our Pastors for reminding us of our hope in Christ.
