LET GOD’S PROMISES BECOME FLESH IN YOUR LIFE
“And the Word became flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth.”—John 1:14
Jesus is the promised seed of
Eve that came in the flesh to crush
Satan’s head, “So the Lord God said to
the serpent: ‘Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle,
and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you
shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and
the woman. And between your seed and her Seed; He [Jesus] shall bruise your
head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 2:14 – 16).
God has given promises to
every person and His desire is to see the fulfillment of every promise that He has made to you that is
for his
promises to take flesh. “For
all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen; to the glory of God
through us” (1 Corinthians 1:20).
It is God’s will for you and your household to be saved, “The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
The promises of God include: healing, deliverance, safety, peace,
access, provision and promotion, to name just a few. Whatever you have need of God has made
provision for you through His Word.
Study the Scriptures His promise to you that meets the need in your
life, or the life of someone else and then mediate upon that Word. It will become life to you and then you will
be able to appropriate His promise
through faith. Then you are able to ask
Him and believe that you will receive whatsoever things that you desire (Mark 11:24).
The promised seed, Jesus came
to earth in the flesh and was victorious over sin and death, “…‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for
He will save His people from their sins.’ So all of this was done that it
might b fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying:
‘Behold the virgin shall be with child and bear a Son, and they shall call His
name Immanuel,’ which is translated, ‘God with us’” (Matthew 1:20). Because of Jesus’ death, burial and
resurrection, He then is, “…the High
Priest of a better covenant which was established on better promises” (Hebrews
8:6).
Today, too many Christians pray without really expecting an answer. We can expect the answer to God’s promises once our heart is convinced
that God means what He said, and that He
said what he meant.
Prayer—Father I thank you that all of
Your promises for me are yes and amen.
Today, with Your help I purpose in my heart to study your Word and to
appropriate Your promises into my life, or into the life of others, in Jesus
Name. Amen.
