John 3:34 (WEB) For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. Promise #14: I give My Spirit in unlimited measure. In John 3:34, John the Baptist is referring to Jesus when He makes this statement… For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. (NIV) If we are united with Christ and co-heirs with Him, then everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to us, right? The Bible says that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). It...

Psalm 23:2 (WEB) He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. Promise #13: I will give you rest in green pastures and lead you to still waters. Psalm 23 is one of my most favorite psalms. In this one chapter, King David draws from his experience of being a shepherd boy to build an analogy of the Lord’s shepherding heart towards us. In John 10:11, Jesus clearly makes the connection to Psalm 23 by telling us that He is the Great Shepherd who wholeheartedly gives His life for His sheep… I am the good...

Philippians 2:13 (WEB) For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. Promise #12: I am at work in your life through the desires of your heart.

(AMP) The Christian life is a life of learning how to live from...

Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Promise #11: My plan for your future is filled with hope. When you think of your own future, how do you feel? Are you excited to think of what is ahead or does the thought of the future cause you to be anxious? With an uncertain economy, wars and rumors of wars, etc., it is easy to feel anxious and uncertain about what lies ahead. Yet in today’s promise, God says...

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (WEB) 26 I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them. Promise #10: I have given you a new heart and put My own Spirit in you. This passage of Scripture is pointing to the day when people would no longer have to live...
