God's Promise to Answer our Prayers (7)
Series: The Promises of God
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Luke 11:5-13
We're learning these days about STANDING ON THE PROMISES knowing that God's promises never fail! We can say along with Joshua in Joshua 23.14, ESV, ''.... Not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.''
Remember that no matter how many promises God has made, they are all ''Yes'' in Christ! We read in 2 Corinthians 1.20, ''For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.''
Without Jesus, we would have no promises for He is not only the gate of the promises; He is the guarantee of the promises! And once God makes a promise, He never backs out!
One day an ambitious young man told his pastor that he'd promised God a tithe of his income. They prayed for God to bless his career. At the time he was making $500.00 a week and tithing $50.00.
Well, God did indeed bless his career and in a few years his income increased and so that he was tithing $500.00 per week.
He called the pastor to see if he could be released from his tithing promise, it was too costly now. The Pastor said, ''I don't see how you can be released from your promise, but we can ask God to reduce your income back to $500.00 a week, then you'd have no problem tithing $50.00.''
Aren't you glad that our promise making God never wants to be released from His promises; in fact, just the opposite! Rather than being released from His promises, He stands ready to release His promises as we claim them by faith!
Now if there was ever a promise we need God to release into our lives and receive by faith it's the prayer promise found in Luke 11. So turn with me to Luke 11 as Jesus speaks to us on the subject of prayer and in doing so, gives us a timeless promise. Is there anybody here who could use a prayer promise? Well, Jesus has just what ...
