399.0. "Precious promises" by WROS01::SHALLOW_RO (Amazing Grace!) Fri Feb 11 1994 11:48

    After doing a dir/title of promises, and only coming up with the note
    on Promise Keepers, I thought it strange there isn't a note on the
    promises of God. So, with that, and an A.M. AM radio teaching on the 
    promises of God for the salvation of our loved ones, within our physical 
    family, I submit these for your believing.
    
    Acts 16:31
    
    And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
    saved, and thy house.
    
    House here being from the original Greek of oikos (oy'-kos) meaning;
    
    house, household, home
    
    1) a house
     1a) an inhabited house, home
     1b) any building whatever
      1b1) of a palace
      1b2) the house of God, the tabernacle
     1c) any dwelling place
      1c1) of the human body as the abode of demons that posses it
      1c2) of tents, and huts, and later, of the nests, stalls, lairs of
           animals
      1c3) the place where one has fixed his residence, one's settled
           abode, domicile
    
    2) the inmates of a house, all the persons forming one family, a
       household
     2a) the family of God, of the Christian Church, of the church of the
         Old and New Testaments
    3) stock, race, decendants of one
    
    For your children:
    
    Jeremiah 31:16-17
    
    Thus saith the Lord; Restrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from
    tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall
    come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thy end,
    saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
    
    And finally, God the Father's own promise to His beloved Son, Jesus in
    prophetic utterance through King David, in Psalms 2:7-8
    
    I will declare the decree, the Lord hath said to me, Thou art my
    Son;this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
    nations for thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for
    thy possessions.
    
    2 Corinthians 1:20
    
    For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the
    glory of God by us.
    
    More entries on God's wonderful promises are encouraged...

    2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
        promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
        nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
        lust.

      God to Abraham:
        "Walk before Me and be thou perfect."
    
      Jesus to Mary Magdelene
        "Sin no more."
    
      There is one that speaks of God who is able to do _exceedingly
      abundantly more than we can even think or ask.

    That one is Ephesians 3:20;
    
    Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we
    ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us
    
    Romans 4:21 
    
    And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he
    was able also to perform.
    
    1Timothy 1:14 
    
    And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love
    which is in Christ Jesus.
    
    Ephesians 1:19
    
    And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe,
    according to the working of his mighty power.
    
    And so many more...
    
    Praise God for his wonderful promises!!!
