Conversation Corner: Episode 7 - How Do I Know the Promises of God are For Me Individually? [21:02]

How do I know the promises in the Bible are actually for me individually?

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

What makes you feel/believe a promise isn't for you? What causes you to question that?

What would be some ways you could know a promise IS for you?

TAKEAWAYS:

Two kinds of promises: Immutable & If/then

God confirms His promises

God never promises what He can't or won't keep. Hebrew 10:16,23

“Hearing God's voice, sensing the quickening of the Holy Ghost and learning how to lean in and embrace the promises God speaks to you only happens and only grows with a consistent building of relationship with God through the word.”

~Erin Patton
