UNDERSTAND HIS PROVISIONS- HIS PROMISES- THE WORD
Just like we believed to become God’s Children, we need to believe to receive from God.

Romans 10:9-10 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

With the heart we believe unto a new nature and with the mouth we confess unto all our salvation offers.

2 Peter 1:2-4
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
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.

All God has done for others in the Bible become our basis for expecting Him to do similar things for us. His Word is His bond. Whatever He said or did becomes our solid ground for believing and receiving. Our responsibility involves connecting our need with His provisions. His provisions are conveyed to us through His promises. We take portions of His nature and ability through these promises.

Hebrews 6:13-19
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Romans 4:16
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all.

Galatians 3:22 - But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

God’s Promises For Healing:
Isaiah 53:3-5
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

God’s Promises For Protection:

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Psalm 91:10-11
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Psalm 27:5
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Psalm 23: 3
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

God’s Promises For Strength:
Psalm 27: 1
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Joshua 1: 9
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
