STAND
ON THE
PROMISES OF GOD
Jesus
said: “Come unto Me all ye that labour and
are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
(Matthew I 1: 28)
Yes,
my friend, God is still in the business of
setting men and women free from their sins,
sorrows, heartbreaks, fears and troubles. In
this age of frustrations, nervous tensions and
mental collapses, Jesus Christ is still granting
peace to the troubled, joy to the discouraged,
strength to the weary and healing to the sick!
Very
definitely, Jesus Christ is still in the DIVINE
HEALING
business. He is the healer of our spirits, minds
and bodies, since He alone is the
Great Physician, and the Deliverer of lost
humanity.
In
this cold, selfish and heartless world, where
else could you receive such wonderful promises
and such a warm welcome and
such an invitation, as from our Blessed Lord?
With arms outstretched He is saying: “Come,
come, come unto Me!” His call goes out to
all those who are heavy laden and weary.
Thank
God for the rest we receive through Jesus
Christ, the Prince of Peace! We receive rest
from the heavy burden of sin, rest from guilt
and condemnation, rest from superstitions,
fears, anxieties and stress!
Jesus
has promised us salvation, peace, rest and
healing. God gives us rest from sickness, disease and pain.
As God has promised us, we can receive the ultimate rest,
from our Lord when
we turn our lives completely over to Him in
total trust and faith! God promises to freely gives us
eternal life and baptizes us with the Holy Ghost
and fire! God gives us a little bit of Heaven - the
earnest of our expectation - to go to heaven
in. Praise the Lord!
GOD
HAS THE POWER & GOD WILL FULFILL HIS
PROMISES TO US
Not
only does God give us a personal invitation to
come to Him and receive (Matthew 7:7-8; James 1:5;
Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 45:22), but He has the power
and ability to do what He said He would do. He
is able to forgive, save, heal and bless those
who call upon His name!
There
is no doubt about it, God is able to answer
every prayer, meet every need and do the
impossible! Jesus said: “All things are
possible to him that believeth” (Mark
9:23) and He declared, “With men this is
impossible but not with God, for with God all
things are possible,” (Mark 10:27)
God
is able to heal and deliver you because He has
the power. Our Lord said: “All power is
given unto Me in Heaven and on earth. And lo I
am with you always, even unto the end of the
world.” (Matthew 28: 18-20); “I beheld
Satan as lightening fall from Heaven. Behold, I
give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you.” (Luke 10: 18,19); “But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto
Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the
earth.” (Acts 1:8)
GOD
IS WILLING TO HEAL
A
leper came to Jesus and said: “If thou wilt
thou canst make me clean.” (Matthew 8:2)
Jesus answered the question of whether it is
God’s will to heal the sick or not, when He
stretched forth His hand and touched the leper
saying: “I will, be thou clean.”
When
the Roman Centurion came to Jesus seeking divine
healing for his servant, Jesus answered: “I
will come and heal him.” The Roman officer
interrupted Him by saying: “Lord, I am not
worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof:
but speak the Word only and my servant shall be
healed.” (Matthew 8: 8,9)
The
Scriptures declare: “Bless the Lord, O my
soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who
forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all
thy diseases.” (Psalms 103:2-3); “But He
was wounded for our transgressions, He was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of
our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we
are healed.” (Isaiah 53: 4,5)
It
is God's will to save, heal, deliver and bless
all who come to Him in faith, believing! He is
willing to deliver you right now, my dear
friend!
GOD
IS READY
The
big question is, “Are you willing and
ready”? Are you ready to accept the promises
of God. God is more willing to give than we
are to ask. Even before we call He will answer.
This shows His willingness to bless. God stands
ready to answer your prayers! You must be
willing to stand on the promises of God.
Here is a beautiful hymn that we love to sing:
STANDING
ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
Standing
on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain
Standing,
standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing
on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear
assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain
Standing,
standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing
on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain
Standing,
standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing
on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing,
standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.Refrain
Standing
on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing,
standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Refrain
The
Bible says: “Come now, and let us reason
together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though
they be red like crimson, they shall be as
wool.” (Is. I-18). Jesus said: “Ask, and
it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. If ye
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children, how much more shall
your Father which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask Him”? (Matthew 7: 7,8,11)
YOU
MUST CALL UPON GOD
The
Bible says: “If My people, which are called
by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked
ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.
(2 Chron. 7:14); “Whosoever shall call on
the name of the Lord shall be delivered.” (Joel
2:32; Acts 2:21).
By
faith and in humble obedience to God’s Word, I
say to you, my friend, receive the blessing of
God upon your life today, in Jesus Name! Write
for your free prayer cloth today! As God healed
the sick through the prayers of St. Paul and the
handkerchiefs and aprons that he sent to the
sick and suffering, so God is healing the sick
today! He has not changed, but is “the same
yesterday, today and forever.” (Heb. 13:8)
