God's promise guestion

- Start date
I trust in Jesus every day....from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same. I do not have to worry about anything because I know "He cares for me" I do not worry, or question "His eye is on the sparrow....so I know He watches me"
So it is with you also. You are secure in Jesus.....
Go about your business, give of your best, trusting in Him....you will prosper.

There are times, seasons and places in life where a promise will specifically fit. Brother Stephen had it right, we live by faith in Christ and we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is He who tells us when, where and how to move.
all you gotta do is obey. Rom_4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Hi Jari,
James 2:17-26
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Hope this helps!
Hello Jari.
You are a spiritual creation in Christ.
If you talk the talk, you must walk the walk.
The talk is the confession of Jesus Christ.
The walk is the works that God has designed
into humanity for us to do.
Because you are a spiritual creation in Christ
it means by necessity that you have already died.
Now that you are alive in Christ how do you talk
and how do you walk.
This spiritual creation is justified and created by
God, it cannot commit works relating to salvation
that would be a paradox.

i believe that most of God His promises are conditional, we must act on His promise by faith just like we need to repent of our sins to receive His forgiveness that is an action from us.
Take care,
And another thing...
we are saved unto good works and not saved by our good works.

Hi Jari
Yes it was conditional upon her believing in God..
Hebrews 11:11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

yes but God said it will happen. So she had to believe after initial disbelief.
(Gen 18:12) Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
(Gen 18:13) And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
(Gen 18:14) Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
(Gen 18:15) Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

I have found brother jari, there are 2 different kinds of conditions. One made by us.An example coming,and the other made by the Lord.Yes sometimes both can be involved in this as well.First lets look for us for a moment.
I had lost my job due to preaching Jesus to people on the job. I got fired for doing this.Now I need a job!!Since the condition is already made for us.If no man work neither shall he eat.I knew God knew I needed a job!( 2 Thess 3:10) So as I left skipping out the door!LOL I knew God was going to give me a better job!
I was walking to and from work at the time,about 2 miles each way,I had already thanked the Lord for the car I needed,so now I am only adding a new job to it! I got home to my apartment and the brother in the Lord I was living with at the time, told me I had got a phone call from a man owning a hotel, he wanted me to come to work for him tomorrow if I could, it was a night audit job,balancing the books.
He said he had heard of me from the other work place,and that I did a great job while I was there.LOL The pay was 3 dollars more then I made a hour at the other job!! LOL I took it of course,thanking The Lord all the way.
But now this was even further from my home!! another 2 miles farther!!Oh dear! Ok well I thought I will just have more time to thank the Lord for the car I knew I needed as well! After a week of this,a brother came to our church,he had a broken arm.He wanted prayer for it,he said I believe if the Church will pray for me I will be able to use this arm again!
So the Body prayed and the Pastor said mark will you lay hands on him,I believe the Lord is working through you right now. I did not question,I went over to the man, and said,as he was falling forward,be it done according to your faith.He was caught by two other brothers.He got up, and said I must break this cast off of me with you help me do this?? LOL SURE!!! We did, his arm was perfect,and he said I feel led by the Lord to give you a car mark. He did.
I thanked the Lord, in front of him, as he was thanking the Lord as well for what he did to his arm,then the Church was thanking Jesus as well for both of us!! LOL
Condition 2.As you know God knows us,he knows where we will be and at what time. Someone comes up to you jari and says,The Lord has told me you will go some place in the near future,he or she may even name the place,if it were the Lord I would think this person would name it myself.
It looks for now as if they missed the boat to you! You first may not have the money,nor perhaps the time to fullfil this. But as we all know, if this is the Lord, he sure will make a way! Later on, you end up going, maybe a year later,and you have forgotton all about the words made to you so long ago.Until you get to the place!! then you remember!! hey wait!! I remember I was told I would go here??How is that possible?? And now, you have learned how!!( luke 1:37) has more of an understanding to you,then when you first believed!
I cannot tell you how many times Jesus has proved his Word to me!!And to others who love him! Each case my be different,I sure cannot speak for all people,but the result is always the same! The Glory of God cannot be measured by us,nor by words spoken to us, only by deeds preformed! When we see true miracles in our life,this reminds us just how great and wonderful our Lord truly is!! amen!
