God’s promises are mighty weapons for you to use, weapons that can save your soul, baptize you in the Holy Ghost, put the enemy to flight, bring healing to you, deliver your body from diseases and afflictions. Learn how to use one promise of the Lord, and you will know how to use them all. But you must learn to use God’s promises His way; the promises are His. Go God’s way with anything that belongs to Him. It’s marvelous what each promise of God contains!

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). How can you have faith to let the Lord do abundantly above all that you ask or think, faith to use a promise? First of all you must settle in your mind that He is able and He will do all in His promise for you. What He can do for you is so great that it is beyond your mind; it’s “exceeding abundance.” However, what He can do for you is also according to the power that worketh within you. His power holds all for you, but you must have that power working within if His promises are to work for you.

Know the Promise Giver

You first must know the One who gives the promise. You are not going to use the promise unless you know the One who made the promise; you have no foundation for that promise to be fulfilled unless you know the ability, the love, the care of the One who made the promise, and have complete living reality in Him.

Most people in the Christian world do not know God to any great extent. They walk around weak from a lack of His power working within. Only very few promises has God been able to fulfill for them. The Christian world, living on such a tiny bit of God, hasn’t magnified the great I-Am, hasn’t made His name great among the nations. But in this last hour, the Bride will make His name great to all peoples throughout the whole earth. His power will work within the Bride as the beam of God’s heavenly light shines forth from her. People will take note of that beam of light; they will be drawn to that light coming from human beings like themselves.

Man Ruined His Relationship with God

In the Garden of Eden, man had no sin, no weakness within, no disease. He was yielded completely to God because God’s divine nature lived on the inside. After man sinned, however, fellowship with God was cut off completely. Man’s relationship with God was destroyed; he was totally helpless in the hands of the enemy, a shell of his former self. No flowing spiritual life dominated man, nothing but death, death, death. Man, woman stripped of the privilege of Eden, were driven into a world of death because they chose sin rather than God. God could no longer walk with man the way He did in the beginning, for He cannot look on sin, can have no part of it. Now God had to find a way to redeem man’s soul from the devil, to make him pure once again so He could live on the inside and work with man in a miraculous way. Man would have to be made new, for God could move only into a sinless being.

Only through His Son Jesus could this be done, only by Jesus bearing the guilt of sin for man, standing in the place of man and redeeming man from his sin nature. All who want to be redeemed can take advantage of this great salvation. The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7).

The Book of Genesis opens with life everywhere in the Garden, and closes with a man in a coffin from which he could never get out on his own. Man would have no resurrection to look forward to had Christ not been crucified and raised from the dead. The power of Christ, the power of God, brings the hope of eternal life in Heaven to all who love the Lord.

Life Is in the Power of God

In the power of God is life. When you reject the power of God—and many have rejected it—you reject the life of God. The Bible says that in the last days, men will have a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof (II Timothy 3:5). God’s power will not work for anyone who has only a form of godliness. In this final hour, many have denied the power of God; therefore, they are without God’s wisdom, knowledge, strength, miracles, and healing. In denying His power they have rejected God.

Struggling through the night, those who have rejected God, and yet profess to know Him, have nothing but empty claims. His power is not working within because the Lord does not live within. You must be born again, made clean through the blood of the Lamb. Confess your sins to God; ask Jesus to forgive you and come into your heart, and in flows divine blood, making you alive unto God. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

Have You Received the Promise of the Holy Ghost?

Everyone who has been born again, redeemed through the blood of the Lamb, is eligible to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. With that baptism, the person of the Holy Ghost sets up His workshop in the heart and uses the powers in the blood to serve all things for soul, mind and body. The Lord said, Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you (Acts 1:8). Power isn’t something to shake you physically—although you may shake when the power of God moves in a great way. In the power of God is all the wisdom, knowledge, strength of God needed. Everything is waiting in that one promise of the Holy Ghost to work for you.

The Lord told the disciples that they would receive power from On High. Look at the understanding they suddenly acquired on the Day of Pentecost, the wisdom and knowledge that came when they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. In a moment of time they had received more and believed more than they received all the time Christ walked with them on earth. In just a few moments the power was within.

The Power of the Holy Ghost Must Work Within

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15:7). You can ask what you will if you abide in Him, but you can’t abide in the Lord the way you should unless you really know Him through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The power of the Holy Spirit destroys doubt. When His power is working within you, God is at work on the inside. He moves and has His being through you.

When Jesus walked the earth, almost all the power was with Him, outside His followers. The power of the Holy Ghost must be within for it to operate for you and through you. Remember, He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly according to the power that worketh in you. A lack of the fulfillment of God’s promises has been due to the lack of His power working on the inside. You need the promise of the Holy Ghost to be fulfilled, the Holy Ghost dwelling within, power from On High.

Remember, it isn’t enough to receive power from On High, you have to let it work—according to the power that worketh within. Every word in the English language that ends with the letters “eth” means “to continue.” The power of the Holy Ghost working within must continue to work in you daily. You can’t simply claim a promise in your mind and expect that promise to work for you. It’s as you yield to the power of the Holy Ghost working within you that God can fulfill His promises in your life.

We have missed God’s system, missed the way the Spirit works, missed the way the Holy Ghost seeks to dwell within us and set up His office work to perform in perfection, and we have come up lacking.

We are fully equipped—complete the Bible tells us—and yet we wonder at the lack in our lives. All the promises in the Bible—why haven’t they worked? It’s the lack of power within.

Things will be different in this last hour just before the coming of Jesus. All the promises will work for the Bride because she will have power working within; she will please the Lord completely like Enoch of old. In pleasing God, she has been saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit and has the power of the Holy Ghost working within. Yielding to the Holy Spirit in every way, she will daily stay yielded to Him, walking hand in hand with her Lord.

God Works His Will in You

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). God performs His will through you by working in you. His power on the outside convicts, calls you to be delivered, urges you to go to Calvary. But I say again, it cannot really work for you until it’s within and you yield to it daily.

The devil possessed come to my services for deliverance; when I pray for them, I inject the power of Jesus of Nazareth into them, and they are set free; the devils flee. It doesn’t matter how many devils possess the person; they come out in a wad, fleeing before the power of God when even one faint cry for deliverance is in a person’s soul.

Devils Fear God

You haven’t seen fear until you see how the power of God frightens the devil and his demons, shaking his kingdom. It is amazing to see them flee, to know their fear. A jubilant feeling comes in knowing how they fear the power of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. They know that if God decides to use His power against them, it will send them straight to the pit at a moment’s notice, and they won’t be able to do any more work for Lucifer.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble (James 2:19). Lucifer may bluff you into thinking you needn’t fear the judgments of God, and yet he fears them.

The Power of the Resurrection

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection (Philippians 3:10). Jesus will never be your ark night and day unless you know Him through the power of His resurrection. Unless you know that great accomplishment, that great work of resurrecting power wrought for you—not for Himself—you don’t know Him. When you know Him in the power of His resurrection, you behold Him as conqueror of all. He walked out of the tomb, defeating death, hell and the grave. The power of the Resurrection is in every one of His promises. What strength! What power! What greatness! Why should you ever doubt?

Knowing the power of the Resurrection is the secret of the Apostle Paul’s life for the Lord. What a fantastic life he lived for God after he learned who Jesus was!

Paul Stayed with the Lord

Paul never met Jesus in the flesh, but he knew more about Jesus than the other apostles knew. Where did he get his information? From the Holy Ghost. Paul went into the wilderness, to the school of the Holy Ghost for over three years. Paul wrote: But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:15-18).

Paul didn’t run to the other apostles to be taught; in fact, one time he stayed on the mission field away from Jerusalem fourteen years. Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem…by revelation (Galatians 2:1,2). Paul depended on the Lord.

Is God a Stranger to You?

If you would be with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, you must know them better than you know any human being. Is God still a stranger to you? The Holy Spirit may be dwelling within you, but do you treat Him like a stranger? If so, He isn’t close to you the way He wants to be, and He cannot direct you freely.

A child must be close to its parents in order for those parents to have great influence. If no closeness exists, if that child doesn’t really lean on the parents one hundred percent; it won’t take one hundred percent direction.

The truth follows you everywhere if you have a mother and father who lived in the truth. You may run from it, but when you stop, the truth is still there. When you lie down at night, trying to shut it out, it’s there with loud voice. In the morning it’s there. Why? Because you saw what was in your mother and dad; you witnessed the power of God within them. If you were reared by godly parents, you learned about Jesus; and a Spirit-filled Mother and Dad taught you about the actions of the Holy Spirit. I was blessed with such parents as well as two older sisters who received the Holy Ghost baptism when I was just a youngster. They were such shining lights that I learned much about the Holy Spirit through their lives, how the Holy Spirit operates and how people must yield to Him. They yielded to the Holy Spirit in a beautiful way, influencing my life forever.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower (Psalm 18:2). Learn what God is to you. Because the Psalmist learned the faithfulness of God, God was able to use him in a great way. He had confidence that God would never fail him.

Use a Promise by Trusting

First learn the integrity of your God; look at His never-failing faithfulness, and then decide whether or not you can trust Him. Don’t trust Him for only an hour, a day or even a year, but trust Him all the time. Never, never fail to trust Him.

Whenever you fail to trust the One who made the promise, you will not use His promise. The devil can rob you of God’s promise if you do not absolutely, without a doubt, know that God will never fail you. He robs people of promises more valuable than all the gold and silver in the world because he is able to place a thought that “maybe God doesn’t hear me,” or “maybe God doesn’t care.” God’s promises have all the life, all the greatness, all the miraculous supply that man needs, and those promises belong to the children of God. His promises are not for the angels in Heaven; the promises of God are for people on planet Earth.

Why don’t people use God’s promises? Because they have not been taught right about the promises of God; they have not let the Lord become living reality to them all the time. Doubting God lets fear take over, and throws many into spasms of unclaimed promises.

God Willed Man to Have Knowledge

The Bride won’t be like those in the past who failed to claim God’s promises. She will have the greatness of God, that knowledge, that intelligence, that fairness the Lord willed mankind to have in Him. Why? Because she will trust His promises completely.

Man was robbed, robbed of the knowledge of God when he sinned in Eden. Adam and Eve’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were robbed of that knowledge. They didn’t know what God’s love and faith really meant. Why do you think Cain killed Abel? Cain never would have committed that murder had he the knowledge of the greatness of God.

The devil is still robbing after all these thousands of years. But it can’t be done to the Bride in this last hour, saith the Lord. She must not be robbed by the enemy.

Fair as the Moon

Angelic beings will minister to the Bride as she walks in the divine greatness of God, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners (Song of Solomon 6:10). It’s the look of the Lord Jesus Himself. The Bride will look like Him, act like Him, talk like Him, wear His shoes and spiritual garment. Nothing will stop her. That’s the reason the devil is so fearful of her. She won’t move out of his way; he will move out of hers. The devil cannot trample the Bride underfoot; the Bride will trample him.

Some of you have tiptoed around the devil, been so careful with him—no more in this last hour. The power of God calls: This way, and you’ll go straight through. Straight through, bulldozing the devil is the shortest distance to our destination.

Chariots of Fire and Horses

We won’t try to by-pass the devil; we will meet him head-on in any valley, declaring it to be a place of victory. Completely ignoring the devil, the Bride will fix her eyes on the hills filled with chariots of fire and horses, the greatness of God. Surrounded by the enemy, the prophet Elisha saw the deliverance provided by a miracle host. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha (II Kings 6:15-17).

Like Elisha of old, we will know God, the armor of God, the Spirit of God, the greatness of the great I-Am and His protecting power. As He protected Elisha and his servant in the midst of the enemy, He is able to protect us. I-Am will have control.

I-Am will be in the driver’s seat. I-Am is our strength, our love, our faith, our victory, and nothing can stop us. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Hallelujahs in Heaven

We will take the Gospel to the whole world in this final hour, deliver the devil possessed, set the captives free. There will be hallelujahs in Heaven as never before while the harvest is being brought in.

Help bring it; be what God wants you to be. Use the promises of God in your life; be strong in the might of His Spirit as you rise up with Jesus-victory every day. We won’t be objects of pity in this last hour, but beaming lights of victory, leaping from victory to victory. Glory to God forevermore!

Jesus Victories

The same power that Jesus used when He spoke, we as members of the bridal company will use because His power, remember, will work within us, not outside. All the Jesus power, all the Jesus victories will be ours. He is our faith, our knowledge, our understanding, our peace of mind, our health. He is our healer, our great Physician. Like the Psalmist, we will trust God, the horn of our salvation and our High Tower. In the valleys as we look beyond the next mountain to our High Tower, we will know we’re almost home. The sunshine of eternity is rising, a new day dawning.

Whom Shall I Fear?

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid (Psalm 27:1). Why should you doubt? Doubt is darkness, but the Lord is your light. Why should you be afraid, carry oppression? Those things are not the light—unload them and take that which is light, the Lord.

Is there anyone you should fear? Faith in God says there is no one. Have faith in God (Mark 11:22). Don’t settle for another kind of faith, but claim all the faith in God and of God.

The Lord Who Healeth All Thy Diseases

Why talk weakness when the Lord is the strength of your life? Of whom shall you be afraid? Shall you fear sickness, disease? Some of you are afraid of almost everything. Do you believe sickness comes from God? The Bible says that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17).

He is the Lord who healeth all your diseases. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:2,3). You have learned to trust the promise of forgiveness of sin if you are born again. You know you have been delivered from your sins, free, not one sin remains. Why not believe His promise of healing just as completely? He healeth all thy diseases! You don’t have to wonder if the Lord will heal your disease; there is no disease He cannot heal. Through His faith He heals; through your faith He can’t. Human faith won’t let the flow of God through. Because human faith falls short, God provides His faith for you to use. Trust it completely, and you will see God’s promises fulfilled in your life. It takes the faith of God for the flow of God. Without that faith-flow of His, you won’t get the healing you may need. The hour is late. With us or without us, the Lord is going through, saith the Lord. Whether or not we see God’s promises alive and in action for us and others all depends on how we yield to the Spirit and yield to God. This is not the time to have discord among God’s people, or to talk about things that are not edifying. We need every bit of strength available to us from God we can get, and we need the knowledge of how to use God’s promises.

The Promise of Angel Help

Every time you can slip a hand securely into the Lord’s nail-riven hand and use a promise, you are blessed. Every time you can walk in the will of God so the angel of the Lord can reach out and touch you to help you and give you strength, you can use the promise of angel help.

Know where your help comes from; the Lord delivers much through His angels. Few Christians believe in the reality of angels that have come to help, to minister, to strengthen, to provide spiritual manna from On High. They don’t use the promise of angel help. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them (Psalm 34:7). Whatever God has done in the past He will do again. Believe His promises and use them. He said angels minister to those who are heirs of salvation: And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire (Hebrews 1:7). Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14)?

In walking the divine will of God you get extra help. Every hill, every mountain you climb in the will of God, you have that extra angel touch. Every valley that is the divine will of God for you to travel, you have the help of angelic beings. God promised. Use His promises.

The Lord has promised to supply your needs, but you must look to the Lord and use His promise of supply. You didn’t receive salvation until you looked to the Lord. You had to feel the need of God before you invited Him into your heart. In the same way, you must feel the need of His help daily, each hour of the day before you use His promises of help. Realize that you can’t be safe without Him, the journey is too treacherous. You must have every bit of Him that you possibly can.

Led by His Spirit

While other people, lukewarm Christians are loading up with the things of the world, we must load up with the things of God. There is much God wants us to have, much strength. We can be strong in the might of Him, in the gracious power of Him. Not by our own spirit, not by our own power, but by His Spirit we are led; by His Spirit we are fed. By His Spirit we are delivered and made glad. By His Spirit we are lifted up above the night as His light shines upon our pathways. By His Spirit comes our wisdom and knowledge. Our help cometh from On High. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). The Psalmist realized that his help was from God, and he looked for that help. He looked to God and let Him know he was depending on Him.

Dine with the Lord

A great banquet table is spread for the children of God daily, for the Bride in this final hour, spread with the very best Heaven has to offer. Separated from the world, the Bride will dine with the Lord. She is a called-out people from a called-out people. The Holy Spirit is working night and day with those who will yield to Him, those who will not be stubborn and rebel against Him, those who use His promises completely. They will be the ones ready to get out of here when Jesus comes.

Surround Yourself with God’s Promises

It’s time to move, to give over, to yield to the Holy Spirit. Have you given everything to the Lord? If you’ve given your whole self to God, you don’t own anything. You have no right to your opinions unless they are in harmony with the Lord’s opinions. Take your words to God before you speak. If what you say has God’s strength in it, edification, you will have the fragrance of Jesus. Surround yourself with the promises and the fragrance of the Lord and you will grow stronger and stronger in Him, overcoming all with the Jesus overcoming power. As you use His promises you will be free to do all the work of the Lord.

Faith Comes through Hearing the Word

Many say they don’t feel the anointing of God the way they think they should. It’s not a matter of how one feels, but of what is working within. He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). You cannot believe God without having the Word.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength (Isaiah 40:29). God gives power to the faint, makes them strong, helps them to receive the fulfillment of the promises they need. The Lord doesn’t strengthen people for only a moment; He gives power to the faint so they can become strong and stay strong. He gives power to overcome, but many have failed to receive because they did not understand how to use a promise. The anointing of God enables you to use His promises. Study the anointing and how it works.

Yea, saith the Spirit of God: I am bringing you my truths for this endtime hour. I am proclaiming my greatness toward you through my mighty promises. Trust my promises. My greatness is in every promise. All of my strength is indeed in every promise, and all of my love and faith is in each promise.

I will supply your needs; and I will walk with you all the way, but I can only walk with you through my promises. You must have understanding of my promises so that you can receive the great pouring out of my greatness that is now being poured out, saith the Lord.

I will serve you all things needed. I will give you all the power to win over your enemy and mine. I will give you my greatness to trample the powers of darkness underfoot, and no power will be able to defeat you. You will walk in all the strength of your Lord, in all the power of your Lord because you will know all the benefits of each promise that I have made to you, my children.

Lift up your heads and know that I am the Lord thy God, and I speak, and it’s done. Is there anything too hard for me? Trust in my promises and you will see the multitudes delivered.

Trust in my promises and you will see the multitudes baptized in my power from On High.

Trust in my promises and you will prepare many for my coming.

Trust in my promises and live in my greatness, saith the Lord.
