Sunday Morning Series - Having Faith in Your Prayers - God's Word, God's Promises, and God's Will

Text: 2 Peter 1:2-4 & Various

There are things God will do just because He wants to bless His children. Sometimes I do something special for the grandchildren simply out of love. It doesn't have to be a special occasion. Seeing their delight makes me happy.

Three types of Promises - 2 Peter 1:2-4

Where do the promises of God fit into our prayers?

1.  Knowing God's Word - What promises has God actually made in His Word? Sometimes we pray for things we think God should promise rather than what He's promised in the Word.

2.  Believing His promises - There isn't a single promise that doesn't require faith. 2 Corinth. 1:19-20 tells us that God's promises are Yes. Many people say God answers with a Yes, a No, a Maybe, or a Wait. Yet, here we're told if God promised it, the answer is a resounding, "YES."

What God will do if we obey

1.  God will supply - Philippians 4:18-19

2.  Forgiveness - I John 1:9

3.  Good things - Psalm 84:11

4.  Good results - Romans 8:28

     This verse has gotten twisted. Don't blame God for the bad things that happen. He promises to turn those things to your advantage as you trust and obey Him.

5.  Peace - John 14.27

6.  Desires of your heart - Psalm 37:4 - As you delight yourself in the Lord, He'll give you the desires of your heart.

7.  Wisdom - James 1:5
