God Promises???

Hi All,

Yesterday Billy and I were watching Jessie Duplantis and he said something that really struck me as a "wow" word. Jessie stated that people say "God promises" when it he has found that when these things come out of God's mouth it is a prophetic word. When we add our faith to it then it becomes a promise. I thought that was a really deep message and I have been pondering it ever since. Was wondering what others might have to say in regards to this.

God bless,
Joan

Just a quick observation, however I do want to ponder this more...anyway


Do you mean that when something is spoken as a prophecy and then we place our faith in that thing coming to be by His hand, then it becomes a promise to us? OR Do you mean that when we hear a word of the Lord spoken through a teaching or from our own study and then we put our faith in Him who spoke/revealed it, God, then it becomes a promise?

I know that God spoke to Abraham and told him things concerning his children, He spoke to David about one of his descendents being on the throne and He spoke to the people concerning the coming of Jesus. These all became promises that God fulfilled. Did they become promises becuase of the faith of those who heard or simply because "God said" it?

I will ponder this a while and see what the Lord reveals to me....I really never thought of it before but it sounds exciting as a concept that we may have been seriously overlooking in our spiritual lives!

Love you
Barb

Hi Barb,

What I am understanding this to mean is that when God speaks His Word/words they are prophesy and they become a "promise" when we make them our own by faith. Look at all the prophetic words that are being given in this hour. Some might not be from God but many are. Many people become down-heartened because they do not see their promises come to pass. But the thing is, God gives us a word and then He wants us to believe it. Where have I heard "believing equals receiving". This has been declared many times. God's Word says "by His stripes we were healed." Why do not all people become healed? Could it be because they have not made it their own, taking God's propehtic word and taking it by faith. Look at Hebrews, it was by faith all these great people of God were obedient or trusting God's Word to come to pass. God's Word/prophecy taken in faith equals the promise coming into being. Glory! Praise God for He is allowing us to see how we can beat the enemy at this game, attempting to tear down our faith in our most High God through fear. Well, demons, in the name of Jesus we bind you and will draw closer to the Living Word that we might build up our faith. Hallelujah!

Praising the Lord,
Joan

I heard that same message by Jesse Duplantis at Kenneth Copelands overflow convention, and I had never heard it put that way before. But, I have for years heard you can prophesy God's word into your own life by saying what God has already said. Then you are prophsying Gods' word to come to pass in your own personal life. Same as taking it for yourself. The way Jesse said it makes it make much more sense, now to me.
