Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord, As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(2 Peter 1:2-4)
God has provided many promises in His Word that you can believe and receive, or stand on, in your own life. To partake of these promises is to partake of the life of God.

God’s Word is unshakeable, unchangeable, unstoppable, and unending. Living by the Word is two-sided: 1) obeying God’s commands; and 2) believing His promises. When we meet God’s conditions, His promises are released into our lives.

Hebrews 6:12 says that we inherit the promises of God through faith and patience.

Years ago, a young man in our youth group, a great runner at Hale High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, developed cancer in his leg. The medical diagnosis was that his leg would have to be amputated. The scriptural promise from Proverbs 3:26 KJV was shared with him: “For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” This young man caught a hold of the Word and believed God’s promise. The following day, prior to surgery, he and his family asked his doctor to reexamine his leg. When the doctor checked his leg again, he couldn’t find any cancer. Today, the young man still has his leg.

You must know the promises of God, believe them, and apply them to have victory in your life.

DECLARATION OF FAITH
I am a promise hunter. God has given me everything that pertains to life and godliness. Through faith and patience, I possess the promises of God.
