OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

Romans 8:38-39

“Neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

Isaiah 49:16 

“See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;  Your walls are continually before Me.”

Romans 6:19

“I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness”

Psalm 32:8

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;  I will guide you with My eye.”

Psalm 59:16

“But I will sing of Your power;  Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;

For You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.”

Matthew 24:24

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

This month we will read choices from Charles Spurgeon’s (known affectionately as the “prince of preachers”)  devotional, “Beside Still Waters.”   It’s no secret that this world system is getting more evil by the day.  We have to stand strong in the Lord and look to Him more than ever to get through, and to be guided through, what is in the future……..known and allowed  by Him alone…..as well as whatever personal things we are experiencing in our lives.

PASTOR SPURGEON:

John 10:28-29

“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”

Our position is guaranteed, and it is a place of honor; for we are in Christ’s hands.  It is a place of property, for Christ holds His people, and all the saints are in His hand.  It is a place of love, for He has inscribed us on His hands. 

It is a place of discretion, for we present our members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.  It is a place of guidance and protection.  We will never perish.  No one will snatch us out of His hand (John 10:28).  As arrows are to be used by a mighty warrior, as jewels are to be used by a bride, so are we in the hand of Christ, for we are the ring on His finger.

John 10:18 reminds us that there are some who want to snatch us out of our Savior’s hand.  Some will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  Roaring persecutors want to frighten God’s saints and make them turn back.”

Scheming tempters, jackals of the lion of the pit – desire to drag us to destruction.  Even our own heart tries to snatch us from His hand.  But Jesus says, “Neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”

No person, devil, or conceivable thing is able to snatch us from His hand.  Under no circumstances can anyone, by any scheme, remove us from being His favorites, His property, and His protected children.  What a blessed promise!

(Have you made the decision to be one of His own?  If not, now is the time to do it.  Turn away from sin, and look to Him alone for your eternal life, knowing that He paid the price for your sins.   Only those who have made this decision to live for Him have these promises.)
