If you and I lived in the same area, I could phone you and promise to meet you for lunch at Denny's tomorrow noon. But would you believe me? Of course you would! Even though I'm becoming more and more forgetful the older I get! Now, if you can believe me, a forgetful senior citizen who might forget to show up tomorrow noon, why can't you believe God Who NEVER forgets?
Numbers 23:19 says, "God is not a man that he should lie, or the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will not make it good?"
The American Revision of Jeremiah 1:12 further says, "I watch over my Word to perform it."
God neither lies nor forgets.
Let's put a promise we talked about yesterday into the equation coupled with these two verses. "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he shall give it you." John 16:23. (Of course, I'm talking about asking for things in God's will. Don't get carried away and start asking for a new limousine to come into your possession or for a private airplane to be delivered to your front door free and clear!)
Now, what do we have? A never-failing formula for believing God!
Meditate on these Scriptures until they become firmly embedded in your heart and mind and spirit. Then stand back and watch God answer prayer!
Remember, if you can believe my word, HOW MUCH MORE you can dare to believe God's Word!
