Do the promises in God’s word come true?

II Cor. 1:20 "For all the promises of God in Him are “yea”; and in Him “amen” unto the glory of God by us." Yes, the promises can come true. Some are based on conditions, one of those in many situations, our faith. I mean do we really believe God? Not just for salvation but for other benefits throughout life? We should because it is by faith and our confession (The words we are speaking) that God often will react. We all should know that God is able. But is He willing? One man asked Jesus directly if he was willing. Jesus said yes. Another asked Jesus to help his unbelief. He did.

The disciples were rebuked for their lack of faith, the centurion commended.
So where does this faith come from? "faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.? It is not enough to rebuke a storm, one would need to actually hear from God about his will in the matter. So there really are Christians rebuking storms, most to no avail because they have not really heard from God on the matter.
When the disciples failed to rebuke the storm, they should have known that Jesus was not going to let them perish. He was sleeping and things were not going to go wrong that day but again, they failed to step out and even try. Just Jesus being there should have been enough.
There are things that can occur all around us if we will turn to God and be serious in prayer and listen to His will for various circumstances. Such christian activity too need not be self-centered, that hopefully we can help assist others in reconciling them to God and helping them get the breakthroughs that they need.
So please do be encouraged. That you can dig into God's word and hear His voice and achieve faith for things you previous thought were not possible. Don't leave out love either, especially for others. Listen to God's perspective on a matter. Doing this will give you compassion and desire to try for more and more.
of course no one has it all, but keep the focus on God, love and God's willingness to answer our prayers.

Yes, all Gods promises have come true, they always have, and will. But you have to understand… who are the promises made to?

We expect our timing concerning His promises.

Yes his promises are true, if you have faith everything is possible it says,
one of those is 'God is not going to test you more than you can handle' if you are alright with God walking with Him, he will sustain you,
i have seen again and again, how things seemed horrible, and maybe out of control, and when i couldn't hold any longer, here comes God with some help or relief. We just need to not give up, and keep praying and fighting and resisting when things are going bad.

Yes and I have been the prodigal son and so better know the difference lol. In other words learnt the hard way. But I think most of us do to varying degrees. We keep trying to do it our way.

But as you develop a relationship with God, because thats what it is. Like all relationships you get to know the other person better. I think thats the same with God. You begin to see how God works in your life and you relate this to the scriptures and its almost like it comes true. Which I think everyone has but they may forget the scriptures or be too caught up with whats going on.

So I think when that happens the answers are always in Gods word.

Also I think we sometimes assume what Gods promises mean. It may not be like the picture we imagined. So in some sense we are always trusting God that He knows best and we may not see the fullfillment of that promise when or how we expect. But when we do we are so much more wiser and stronger.

Praise be to God that He knows best and we can trust Him with that.
