    How to Make These Promises Work in Your Life

    When you gave your heart to Christ and became a Jesus person, you inherited a great wealth—all the hundreds of promises God gave you in His Word.

    These promises rightfully belong to you as a child of God. You must claim them, believe them, and act upon them. Here’s how:

    Take each promise to mean just exactly what it says. Don’t try to interpret it, add to it, or read between the lines. Accept it literally.

    Get your mind and heart in condition to believe the promises. God’s Word says, If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me (Psalm 66:18 NKJV). Be sure there is no sin in your life. If there is some sin (hatred, bitterness, jealousy, lust, for example), ask the Lord for His forgiveness. Pray to have your mind renewed in the Holy Ghost.

    If there is a part of the promise that depends upon your action, you must be willing to do it—follow through. If it says pray, then pray. If it next says believe, then you must believe in order to expect God to act. God is ready to do His part. You must be ready also to do yours.

    Now, after you have done these first three things, you must be willing to wait on the Lord’s time in answering. The promised answer may come immediately. Then again—it may not. Just don’t get uptight! God will keep His promise. If the answer is long in coming, you can remember that He has a perfect time and a perfect plan for your life. Meanwhile, you might read the promise section on Patience.

    Follow these four steps to claiming all the promises God has given you to use. Take time to read some of them in your Bible in the context of the whole chapter where it appears. If you find one verse especially helpful, memorize it. Then you’ll have it at your fingertips. Always remember that whatever God said—He will do!

    Carry this book with you at all times. Think of it as a Bible promise dictionary and refer to it for answers to all your questions and needs. Memorize all the key verses and use them daily to open God’s storehouse of benefits. God cannot and will not break one of these promises. Every promise in this book is yours! Trust them. Stand on them. Believe them. Then you can say, God said it. I believe it. That settles it.

    God’s Promises for Your Spiritual Needs

    A. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from sin.

    KEY VERSE

    1. The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
