In Christ

There are many scriptures that tell you who you are in Christ, and what He has done for you. All the scriptures that I use in this article are from the Amplified Bible, which does an excellent job explaining the meaning of each verse.

Denise of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org

Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ wants to encourage you to quote these scripture out loud every day of your life. Say the scripture reference with the scripture. One of the greatest things that Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ and Mike and Denise Hartmann-Echterling has learned living the Christian life for over thirty years is who they are in Christ. These scriptures will ignite great faith in you. They will show you that Jesus paid a great price when He shed His blood on the Cross not just for your salvation but also for you to have a place in Him right now. That place in Him is a place of peace, a place of joy, a place of health, a place of victory, a place of prosperity, a place! That place is in Him!

As you see in the depths of your heart what Jesus has done for you through the shedding of His blood on the Cross, His death, His burial, His resurrection and His assertion into heaven. You will find that you will start agreeing with what God says in His Word about you. You will start thinking like He thinks, you will start talking about yourself like He talks about you. You will start acting differently and most importantly, you will start seeing your circumstances change!

You don’t need to quote all these scriptures every day. Maybe only take three or four of them every day and say them out loud. Then, thank God for what He gave you through His Son, Jesus Christ. Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ has found that as we thank God for what He has done we see things happen more often and faster than we could ever imagine. Here are just a few of the scriptures that tell you who you are in Christ:

Romans 3:24
All are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:11
Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1
Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

Galatians 3:28
There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:6
For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.

Galatians 6:15
For neither is circumcision [now] of any importance, nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [the result of a new birth and a new nature in Christ Jesus, the Messiah].

But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near.

Ephesians 3:6
[It is this:] that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel).

Philippians 3:14
I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

Philippians 4:7
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:13
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

2 Timothy 1:13
Hold fast and follow the pattern of wholesome and sound teaching which you have heard from me, in [all] the faith and love which are [for us] in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:1
So you, my son, be strong (strengthened inwardly) in the grace (spiritual blessing) that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:10
Therefore I [am ready to] persevere and stand my ground with patience and endure everything for the sake of the elect [God's chosen], so that they too may obtain [the] salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with [the reward of] eternal glory.

2 Timothy 3:15
And how from your childhood you have had a knowledge of and been acquainted with the sacred Writings, which are able to instruct you and give you the understanding for salvation which comes through faith in Christ Jesus [through the leaning of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness].

Philemon 1:6
[And I pray] that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce and promote full recognition and appreciation and understanding and precise knowledge of every good [thing] that is ours in [our identification with] Christ Jesus [and unto His glory].

Mike and Denise Hartmann-Echterling want to encourage you to look for scriptures like these as you read through the Bible. Mark them in your Bible, add them to this list. Most importantly, say them until they are part of your heart, mind and soul. You will find that your whole life will be greatly transformed by the power of God’s Word.

Prosperity in God’s Word

The Word of God is full of promises from the heart and mind of God about prosperity for His people. I want to encourage you to read these scriptures time and again and meditate on them. Let these words flood your soul until they roll off your tongue.

There are numerous scriptures throughout the Word of God on prosperity. The following are from Deuteronomy. I will post more scriptures about prosperity in the months to come as well as my heart on the subject.

Denise of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org.

A Determined Heart

A determined heart is what Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ has found that it takes for Christians to walk with the victory that is promised in the Word of God. Christians must be determined to set their hearts to seek God with all their strength, heart and soul. Christians must be determined to set time aside every day and read and meditate on the Word of God.

Denise of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org

These two things alone when done with the whole heart and all the attention of your mind and soul will produce an abuntant harvest of victory in your life. God told Joshua this in Joshua 1:6-9, “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” When Joshua did this he saw what God told him he would have, victory in every area of life.

Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ & Mike Echterling

We at Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ have learned that victory doesn’t always come when things are easy. Notice that Joshua needed this Word from God because God had just given Joshua and the people the land. Yet, Joshua and the people had to go in and posses the land that God had given them. Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ has learned over the years that God has given great promises that He wants us to posses. There is just one way for us to do so. It is by following the instructions that God gave to Joshua.

You must choose to have a “A Determined Heart” to be:
1. “Strong and very courageous”, this means you choose not to be moved by the impossibilities you may face, you stay focused on God’s Word for victory.

2. “Careful to obey all the law”, that means you do things God’s way as it is written in the Word of God.

3. “Obey God’s law by, not turn from it to the right or to the left”, this is reinforced because it is only by obeying God’s Word that success and victory will come.

4. “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth”, only say what God’s Word says. When you meditate on it day and night on the Word of God it will be so easy to only say what the Word of God says. The Word of God will be in your heart in such abundance that out of your heart you will speak the Word of God.

5. “Meditate on the Word of God day and night.” Replace worry with thinking on the Word of God, God’s promises, God’s love for you.

6. “Careful to do everything written in it”, again we are told the importance of obedience to the Word of God! This is the third time it is mentioned in this passage of scripture.

7. “Prosperous and successful.” Yes! You must have “A Determined Heart” to be prosperous and successful in your life. You must set your hand to do something for God to bless all the your hand touches. You must expect to be made prosperous and successful by the power of God’s Word at work in your life.

8. “Strong and courageous”, this is the second time God is telling you not to be terrified; do not be discouraged by what you see. Do Not Walk By Sight, rather walk by faith. Look at what God said to you. Have a Determined Heart” to agree with it and receive what God has said about you!

9. “Not to be terrified or discouraged”, these are major tools of the devil. As soon as he can convince you to be terrified or discouraged he has won. The power of God’s Word to work in your life will be snuffed out. This is because your faith will fly out the door if you are terrified or discouraged.

10. “In remembrance that the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go”. When you know that God is for you, who can be against you? If God is with you then you have an ever present Help in the time of need.

This is the key to victory and success, you must have “A Determined Heart.”

The Glory of God – Hart To Heart Ministries ℠

We read in Exodus 34:29, “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the Testimony in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face shone and sent forth beams by reason of his speaking with the Lord.”

Denise Hartmann-Echterling of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org

Ministering with Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ in every setting imaginable I have learned over time that I can experience the glory of God if I will do like Moses and ask to see God’s glory. I will never forget the first time this thought came to my mind. I was in a place where I had to have the manifested presence of God with me. I simply got on my knees and with all my heart and soul I focused on God and asked Him to show me His glory.

Jesus told us that He would do anything that we ask Him in John 14:13 we read, “And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.” Jesus is telling us here that if we ask to see His glory that He will show it to us.

The glory of God is closer that what one may think. In 1 Corinthians 6:19 we find that our bodies are the very containers of the Holy Spirit Himself. “Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,”

In the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles chapter 6 we see Solomon dedicating the temple and when he had finished we see in 2 Chronicles chapter 7 the Holy Spirit or the glory of God entered the temple. “When Solomon finished praying, fire flashed down from heaven and burned up the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple. The priests could not enter the Temple of the Lord because the glorious presence of the Lord filled it. When all the people of Israel saw the fire coming down and the glorious presence of the Lord filling the Temple, they fell face down on the ground and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying, “He is good! His faithful love endures forever!” When you and I make a sacrifice to God, when you and I give God something to burn up, we too will see the Holy Spirit, the fire of God or the glory of God decend in our midst and within us. We are the temple of God!”

In the New Testament we find a similar thing happen. Jesus had told His disciples to go to Jerusalem and to stay there. In Acts 1:3-5 (New Living Translation) we read, “During the forty days after his crucifixion, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God. Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

The disciples obeyed Jesus’ command. They went to Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit fill them, the glory of God came upon them, and the fire of God sat upon their heads. Acts 2:1-4 (Amplified Bible), “AND WHEN the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place, When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words].”

You were made by God to be the dwelling place of His glory. His glory within and upon you should be increasing in degree and manifestation on a daily basis like Moses, like Solomon’s temple or like the early church in Acts chapter two.

In 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 (AMP) we read, “Now if the dispensation of death engraved in letters on stone [the ministration of the Law], was inaugurated with such glory and splendor that the Israelites were not able to look steadily at the face of Moses because of its brilliance, [a glory] that was to fade and pass away, Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual [b]ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory? For if the service that condemns [the ministration of doom] had glory, how infinitely more abounding in splendor and glory must be the service that makes righteous [the ministry that produces and fosters righteous living and right standing with God]! Indeed, in view of this fact, what once had splendor [[c]the glory of the Law in the face of Moses] has come to have no splendor at all, because of the overwhelming glory that exceeds and excels it the glory of the Gospel in the face of Jesus Christ]. For if that which was but passing and fading away came with splendor, how much more must that which remains and is permanent abide in glory and splendor! Since we have such [glorious] hope (such joyful and confident expectation), we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly. Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which had been upon it]. In fact, their minds were grown hard and calloused [they had become dull and had lost the power of understanding]; for until this present day, when the Old Testament (the old covenant) is being read, that same veil still lies [on their hearts], not being lifted [to reveal] that in Christ it is made void and done away. Yes, down to this [very] day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their minds and hearts. But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.”

Climb the mount and see God face to face, ask God to show you His Glory. Fellowship with the Living God through Jesus Christ His Son until you are transformed into His image.

God Has Spoken

My wife, Denise Hartmann-Echterling and I have ministered with Hart To Heart Ministries℠ for 30 years. In three decades of praying and walking with God we have learned that when God will perform what He speaks.

Denise Hartmann-Echterling www.h2hm.org

In Ezekiel 37:14 you read, “And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.” Notice the words, “I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.”

There are a number of times when God says the same thing in the Word of God. For example, in 1 Samuel 3:12 God says, “In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.” As you read 1 Samuel you will see that God fulfilled this word just as He said He would.

In another place, 2 Chronicles 6:10 we find God again saying that He will perform what He has spoken, “The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.”

This is a very important lesson for all Christians to keep in mind. It will build your faith to know that whatever God has spoken in His Word He will perform in your life. You must take those words that He speaks in the Word of God with a living faith and stand firm believing that they will come to pass in your life.

Remember that God said in Isaiah 55:11, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

Trust God to fulfill His Word in your life. The same God that spoke in the Word of God is speaking now. He is speaking to you from The Bible, The Word of God. He is also speaking from His throne in Heaven to your heart right now, listen, get still, and you will hear Him.

You see, in Hebrews 12:25 we are told, “Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!” (AMP) God yet speaks! He will perform what He is saying.

This is a great truth. It is reasuring, refreshing, beautiful, and it brings great hope to the soul. Seek God, you will find Him. Get still and listen, You will hear Him.

Jesus Your Strength – Hart To Heart Ministries

“The Lord is the Strength of my Life” (Psalm 27:1). How strong is the Lord? The Lord is ALL Powerful, one of His names is Almighty. That means that He is All Powerful! He doesn’t lack the power to perform any miracle.

Denise Hartmann-Echterling of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ worshipping Jesus www.h2hm.org

Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing will be impossible.”

All things are possible because He is:

1. He is all powerful to preform all miracles.

2. He is all knowing, He knows how to make happen what mankind could never figure out.

3. He is all present. Where ever He is needed for a miracle to happen. He is there to perform the miracle.

I have some very good news.

For with God nothing will be impossible to heal.
For with God nothing will be impossible to prosper.
For with God nothing will be impossible in your life.
For with God nothing will be impossible in 2009.

For with God nothing will be impossible. He is not a respecter of persons. If He said it to one He says it to you. Only believe. He is powerful to perform miracles for you.

Think of this, if the devil can cause great distress, poverty and sickness then how much more can Jesus who is All Powerful do for you! However, Jesus will only do good. He will only give Peace because He is the Prince of Peace. He will only give prosperity because He came to give life and life more abundantly. He will only come to heal because by His stripes we are healed!

This All Powerful One is in you!

When you accepted the sacrifice of Jesus (His death on the cross, His burial, His ascent into heaven on the fortieth day after the Resurrection) when you made Him Lord of your life and when you were born again, He came into your heart. Now you cannot fail again because your Savior Who is All Powerful, lives in you.

Because of His presence in you it is impossible for you not to be more than a conqueror, abounding in victory and fearless in the face of any challenge. You cannot be defeated because Jesus your Strength lives in you.

I Jn. 4:4 “Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world.”

Jesus in you is greater than the devil.
Jesus in you is greater than anything the devil can throw at you.
Jesus in you is greater than any sickness, disease or infirmity you may face.
Jesus in you is greater than any financial lack.
Jesus in you is greater!
Jesus lives in you. Jesus is the same in you as He was 2,000 years ago.

He overcame everything that was in opposition to Him 2,000 years ago and He has not changed. He is the same today. Inside you and through you, He desires to overcome every the devil is coming against you with today that you are facing.

He is your strength. Call on Him. Give Him permission to move in power in your life, your body, your finances and your relationships. Thank Him for working quickly, thank Him for being so faithful, thank Him for His goodness and mercy to you. Rejoice that He is moving on your behalf. This is faith, calling those things that are not as though they were.

“The Lord is the Strength of my Life” (Psalm 27:1). What is your life? The part of your life you have allowed Him to be Lord of is the part He can be the Strength of. Trust Him with you whole life and watch His Strength empower and infuse it with His life.

Victory In Jesus – Hart To Heart Ministries

My wife, Denise and my daughter Michelle and I have traveled throughout North America preaching and singing in churches, seminars, and conferences. Often we are asked why we are not burnt out after years of ministering. The answer is obvious, if the lamp is full of oil it will never burn out!

We stay in the Word of God and we stay in fellowship with the Spirit of the living God and our lamps stay full of the oil of the Holy Spirit. When there is plenty of oil the flame for God will always burn and there will never be any burn out!

Things happen that would cause anyone to step out of the victory found in the Word of God. But just like Paul made a choice so do we.

Romans 8: 37 “Who shall separate us “from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

No one wants to face these things. Yet, Paul tells us, even while in the midst of these things, “I am more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” vs. 38 Paul goes on to say, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us “from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Paul’s heart soared in victory while in the midst of the most horrendous circumstances. His heart, soul & mind were firmly fixed on God.

2 Cor. 4:8″10 says, “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed…”

Paul then says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”

2 Cor. 4:17 Paul calls this a “light affliction which is but for a moment.” How?

1 Cor. 4:18 continues, “While we look (not at the things which are seen, but at the “things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Look to the Invisible One’s love for you! Our Invisible God created the visible world. He still intervenes in this created world for you. Look to Him & consider all, “light afflictions for a moment.”

Heartfelt Bible Reading by Mike Echterling

Daily Denise, Michelle and I read the Bible with our hearts open to receive from the Holy Spirit the spiritual food that a person can only receive from the Word of God found in the Holy Bible.

Hart To Heart Ministries has found what countless others throughout history have discovered, just like food is needed to make the physical body strong, the Word of God is needed to make our hearts, spirits and souls strong.

Mike, Denise & Michelle Hartmann-Echterling and Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org

Strong to stand in faith to believe the great and precious promises found in the Word of God. Strong to be unmovable, steadfast, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Strong to know Him so well that mighty exploits are done continually for God and His Kingdom.

We are told in Psalms 19:10 that the Word of God is to be, “more desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

David went on to say in Psalms 119:103, “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

The sweet, meaningful, rewarding, fulfilling spiritual nourishment that comes from the Word of God is free to all that will ask the Holy Spirit to open their spiritual eyes and hearts to the nourishment found in the Word of God.

Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. It is free! Simply ask the Holy Spirit to feed you as you open your heart to Him and read the Word of God.

Paul tells us in the New Testament that the Word of God is like milk to a baby and that Word will make a person grow spiritually just as milk would make a baby grow. 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

This supernatural food, the Word of God is to taken in great abundance. A hungry heart for God will not be satisfied with just a little food.

Solomon wrote, in the Song of Solomon 5:1, “I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.”

As you feast on the Word of God you will find your soul set on fire with a passion for what pleases God. You will find a new anointing filling your life, your mind, your heart, your soul.

You will experience new glorious manifestations of the supernatural move of God, family, friends, coworkers, neighbors and acquaintances will receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior as you share with love the most simple and yet profound truths with them.

So, drink abundantly! Drink the new wine, drink the milk, drink the honey of God’s word! This spiritual food will fill your heart with the supernatural spiritual nourishment that will enable you to be a blessing to countless lives.

Christian Communion With Jesus

The depths of the communion that is possible for Christians to enter into can be as close as what the disciples had that walked with Him two thousand years ago.

This type of relationship takes a heart that is open to hear the voice of Jesus. A heart that is obedient to what Jesus says. A heart that puts Jesus first. A heart that honors the words of Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind and body. A heart that will desire to abide in the words of Jesus. This person will have a relationship like the early disciples had.

Mike Echterling and Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ at: www.h2hm.org

Open you heart to Jesus today. Tell Him you want to know Him like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John knew Him. Tell Him to make Himself real to you in your everyday life. Then listen for Him to speak, watch for Him to move in your life. You will find that He will bless you time and again as you enter this wonderful relationship with Him.

Nothing Is Impossible

Always remember “Nothing with God is impossible.”

When you pray know that God is the fulfiller and performer of His Word! As you pray ask for what God promises in the Bible. God has obligated Himself to watch over His Word to fulfill it. Jeremiah 1:12 (NIV) says, “…You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my Word is fulfilled.”

Denise Hartmann-Echterling of Hart To Heart Ministries ℠ www.h2hm.org

As you are praying be mindful of, Luke 1:37 (Amplified), “For with God nothing is EVER impossible, and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” The Word that God is watching over to fulfill is full of power and it is impossible for that Word not to be fulfilled.

This is a theme that is repeated time and again throughout the Word of God. In 1 Kings 8:56 we read, “Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.” Notice the words, “there hath not failed one word.” Of all the words in the great and precious promises of God, not one has ever failed. I have great news. If you believe and don’t doubt, not one of God’s words will ever fail for you!

Ezekiel repeats this same powerful truth in Ezekiel 12:25 “For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.” When you pray stir your faith up with these great promises! Believe God that the promise you are holding up to Him will be fulfilled just like He has fulfilled that same promise for millions of other believers throughout the ages.
