2 Cor 1:20 "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."
God keeps every promise He makes. When we walk in inmate fellowship with Christ, we have the assurance that every promise God has made in Scripture is available to us. This truth should motivate us to search the Scripture for each promise in order to mediate upon its potential for our life.
Jesus promised that when we ask for something in His will, He will give us what we ask (John 16:23b). This promise is available to every Christian. If you ask God if this promise applies to your life. His answer is yes. If you are not experiencing this promise, it does not change the fact that God has said it. You may need to ask God's answer for why His promise has not yet reached maturity in you.
Paul claimed he had tested each of these promises in his own life and found them all to be abundantly true. That's why he could speak of the "exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Eph 2:7b) and the "unsearchable riches of Christ" (Eph 3:8b). Paul had found a wealth of God's promises and enjoyed them all in abundance.
Do not become discouraged or impatient if you are not experiencing to the fullest all of God's promises in your life. God may want to prepare you to recieve some of the great truths He has made available to you. Walk closely with your Lord and in time, you will see Him bring His promises to fruition in your life.
What a wonderful thought and sense of encouragement for each of us. There is always hope and something to look forward to.
May God bless you and your families. Have a blessed week and year of 2012.
Your Brother in Christ
