Can you see the now in that verse?
However, the key word is promises. No
one can believe beyond their
knowledge. Romans 10:17 says faith
comes by hearing, and hearing by The
WORD of God. So one could say that
faith comes by hearing what God has
promised about your situation.
Spending time meditating on that
promise will cause your heart dream to
begin taking upon itself faith. Your faith
will then make its connection with the
Master's power, and like the woman
who had the issue of blood, you'll be
made whole. Remember, she was not
only healed of that plague, but Jesus
said, "Daughter, thy faith hath made
thee whole" (Mark 5:34). Verse 26 says
she had suffered many things of many
physicians and HAD SPENT ALL that
she had. She was made whole
financially as well as in her body.
Let's look at another verse that says the
same thing. First John 5:14-15 says:
20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN
HIM ARE YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN,UNTO
THE GLORY OF GOD BY US.
14 AND THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT
WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT, IF WE ASK ANY
THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE
HEARETH US:
17 THEREFORE, IF ANY MAN IS IN CHRIST,
HE IS A NEW CREATURE. OLD THINGS
HAVE PASSED AWAY. LOOK, ALL THINGS
HAVE BECOME NEW.
Now let's look at both these scriptures
together. Second Corinthians 1:20 talks
about the promises of God, and 1 John
5:14-15 talks about the will of God.
Both are talking about The WORD of
God. Can God lie? No. How then could
He ever promise you something that's
not His will for you to have? He can't.
Something very important of which to
take note is in 2 Corinthians 1:20. It says
the promises of God in Him, in Jesus,
are yes and amen. Who is Jesus? He is
The WORD! God does nothing apart
from His WORD. He does nothing apart
from faith. He does it because He loves
you. Also, in Him, you are a new
creature. He did not make any unworthy
new creatures. You and I were
unworthy, but He didn't leave us in that
unworthy, unrighteous state.
Now, let's read 2 Corinthians 5:17-21,
Modern English Version, together,
slowly and carefully:
15 AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEAR
US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW
THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT
WE DESIRED OF HIM.
