WHAT A GLORIOUS PROMISE

By John Ollis

Do you remember this golden oldie ?
EVERY PROMISE IN THE BOOK IS MINE!
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Every chapter, every verse and every line
All are blessings, of His love, divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Every chapter, every verse and every line
All are blessings, of His love, divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
By His stripes; the book says I’m healed
Until the day of redemption, the book says I’ve been sealed
(According to the same book)
To prosper, and be in health, is right in line
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
From Genesis to Revelation
Every chapter, every verse and every line
They all are blessings, of his love, divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
The book say’s
Delight yourself in the Lord; You can have what’s in your heart
It also say’s
Therefore if any man be in Christ, He’s got A brand new start
And it also say’s
Knock and the door shall be opened, Seek and you shall find
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
From The very first chapter
Every chapter, every verse and every line
Everything in between, all the way down to the end, Every line
They all are blessings, of his love, divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
On resurrection morning, When that last trumpet sounds
And all that have died in Christ, They begin to rise up from the ground
Think about this
Then we that remain, And we that still alive, will then find out that
Every promise, in the book, is mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
Yes it’s mine
OhYes it’s mine
They all are blessings, Of his love divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
They all are blessings, Of his love divine
Every promise, in the book, is mine
I can’t remember the last time I sang that but it was a long time ago.
Let me also say when we look at the promises of God found in the Old Testament we need to pass them through the Cross and apply New Covenant Principles to the verse/s.
Let us look at Deuteronomy 28:1-13. and I am going to let you personally meditate on this awesome promise of God to His people. As an additional confirmation that we can claim this promise is found in the words of the Apostle Paul  in Galatians 3:13-14.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written), cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree, that the BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
So let us meditate on this awesome promise verse by verse and you will be blown away.
All promises of God to His people  have OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. verse 1 says.
DILIGENTLY OBEY. not just obey, but do it diligently (be watchful, do it heartily)
OBSERVE CAREFULLY.
The town we live in is very close to our national highway, and if we want to get to any of the main towns and into the City of Melbourne we need to use it. It is a 4 lane dual highway, and the speed limit is 110 kms, an hour. As it is a major artery many very large trucks use it to transport goods and machinery, and some trucks exceed the limit so they can OVERTAKE other drivers. God says in verse 2 “These blessings shall come upon you and OVERTAKE you, because you obey  the voice of the Lord your God. God concludes this awesome promise with “The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only and not beneath , IF  you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you TODAY, and are careful to observe them.
I could write at length on these thirteen verses, but I want to encourage you to mead and MEDITATE  on every aspect of this promise, ask the Holy Spirit to apply it to your personal situation, look at the verses in different translations and let the Holy Spirit “turn the light on” and it will become a Rhema word, a personal revelation to you, and shall bless you beyond your wildest dreams.
Can I ask you to let me know what the Lord says to you, I sincerely pray the truth will take you to a new level of blessing and victory in your life.
May this weekend as you meet in Father’s House, you also meet the Lord between the wings of the Cherubim.
