Standing on God's Promises
David Ireland
Genesis 32:9-12
1.0 What are Promises-God's Promises?
1.1 God's promises have power!
A) They extend God's lifeline of hope.
1. He offers them before you'll ever need them.
2. They buoy you up when things look bleak.
B) They are answers your life needs.
1. God's promises are solutions to your problems-current and future ones.
Jacob's Backstory
(1) He'd been victimized for the past 20 years by Laban, his father-in-law.
(2) Jacob worked for 14 years tending Laban's flock and his compensation was the hand of Rachel and Leah in marriage, Laban's two daughters.
(3) The last six years Laban changed his compensation many times in order to find a good way to take advantage of him.
(4) God speaks to Jacob to return home-the land of promise-and he along with his household and flock take-off without telling Laban.
(5) Laban discovers it; but in a dream God tells Laban to not try to harm Jacob.
(6) Jacob and his family began the 400-mile journey to Canaan only to learn that his brother Esau and 400 men were riding to meet him.
(7) Esau wants to kill Jacob for what he did 20 years ago.
(8) Jacob retreats into a private space to pray armed with God's promise.
