God Will Keep His Promises!!

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

God will keep His promises He made to us - no matter how long it takes; His Word does NOT go out void!!! I came across a promise God gave me on June 28, 2006 and He did as He promised; this is what He told me He would do:

He would strengthen me and settle me; trust in Him, He is going to bring me through this!

 

What God was referring to at that time was the abusive marriage I was in and He truly kept His Word and brought me out 4 months later with my mind in tack; that last abusive marriage almost cost me my sanity and my life but God did not let me die in my situation. Although the enemy used the guy many, many, many times to try and kill me; he did not succeed – God said “NOT SO!!” I know God has a plan for my life!! God has since delivered, healed, and restored me from that and all other abusive marriages and relationships I have suffered throughout my life and I will NEVER get into another abusive marriage or relationship of ANY kind!! I am free because Jesus has set me free and I will NEVER be entangled with the yoke of bondage again!!

 

I take that promise God gave me years ago and apply it now to EVERY situation and circumstance that is trying to come against me – God’s Word stands forever – it NEVER loses its power to deliver so the Word still has power to deliver me today!!

 

What has God promised you? Go back and get the promises God promised you and begin to declare and decree them over your life and watch God move!!!

 

Remember, sometimes God takes you through “it” and sometimes He takes you out of “it,” either way, God is with you!! As David said in Psalm 23:

¹The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. ² He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.³ He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.⁴ Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. ⁵ You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. ⁶ Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

 

God is ALWAYS with you! Cling to God and He will give you strength and courage until He brings you through or out of whatever you are going through!!! Wait on the Lord; don’t get ahead of Him or lag behind – when God says “Move” go ahead and MOVE THEN!!

 

May God bless you and keep you and your family!!!
