Which of the following Biblical promises have you personally experienced in your own life?

[TruthSeek3r]

1. The promise of faith, to those who pray and fast. And the promise of miracles, to those who have (enough) faith.

20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” 21 But this kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting [Matthew 17:20-21, ESV]

2. The promise of different kinds of signs, to those who believe.

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [Mark 16:17-18, ESV]

3. The promise of the Holy Spirit, to those who ask.

9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” [Luke 11:9-12, ESV]

4. The promise of power, to those who receive the Holy Spirit.

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” [Acts 1:8, ESV]

5. The promise of some sort of ecstatic experience, through the Holy Spirit, as "rivers of living water", to those who believe in Jesus and are spiritually thirsty.

37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. [John 7:37-39, ESV]

6. The promise of being visited by Jesus and the Father, to those who love and obey Jesus. (Although there is an air of mystery around the exact meaning of this "visitation", since no further details are provided in the text.)

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him [John 14:23, ESV]

7. The promise of prolonged life, to those who honor their parents.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” [Ephesians 6:1-3, ESV]

8. The promise of wisdom, to those who ask for it in faith.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. [James 1:5-8, ESV]

9. The promise of divine direction, to those who do not lean on their own understanding and acknowledge the Lord in everything.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
[Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV]

10. The promise of finding God, to those who seek Him with all their heart, through prayer.

11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. [Jeremiah 29:11-14, ESV]

11. The promise to do works similar and even greater than those that Jesus did, to those who believe in Him. Also, in the next verse, the promise of answers to prayers, to those who ask in the name of Jesus.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. [John 14:12-14, ESV]

12. The promise of perfect peace, to those who focus their minds on the Lord and trust in Him.

3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock
[Isaiah 26:3-4, ESV]

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:4-7, ESV]

13. The promise of (1) being approached by God, (2) freedom from the influence of the devil and (3) exaltation, to those who draw near to God, resist the devil, purify their hearts and humble themselves before the Lord (with mourning and weeping, in repentance).

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. [James 4:7-10, ESV]

May God Bless you. I am blessed to say that i have received all those promises within three years of accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour and forgiving everyone who's hurt me in my life. I cannot begin to express the happiness and peace i feel within me. Nothing compares to it. It was not an easy journey to get to that point because you have to go through trials and tribulations and overcome them before you can receive the promises. I have to add that all of those things you receive them spiritually.

 

[GirdYourLoins]

1. Yes but not for a while now
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes, particularlly in prayer
5. Yes
6. Yes by a sense of their presence
7. This is very difficult for me, I didnt have good parents so to honour particularly my dad is a lie.
8. I have been told by people I am very wise so I will say yes
9. No despite lots of asking and seeking God.
10. I will have to say no as the scripture given of plans for welfare and not for evil is anything but my experience. I am attacked from every angle constantly.
11. No
12. No, see 10
13. No, see 10

#7 for sure, #11 sometimes.

 

[pescador]

I've not been bitten by a snake or drunk poison. Apart from that, I've been blessed to experience all that you've posted.

The long ending of Mark -- Mark 16:9-20 -- was added by a zealous scribe, but it is not part of the gospel. It makes no sense and is dangerous to those who believe it..

 

[.Jeremiah.]

‘Move from here to there,’

yes. Thank you Lord
Yet I have a few more mountains to move
I just need to ask the Lord, and I have no doubt they will be.
But, I must be ready

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [Mark 16:17-18, ESV]

yes, a daily event. Thank you Lord.

9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

yes
This should be up at the top.
Because the others cannot be achieved, unless and until you find the Lord. And you will not find him unless you seek.

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” [Acts 1:8, ESV]

yes
Plenty of incredible power. Plenty of witnessing in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Thank you Lord
Pretty much daily.

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

I have had an enormous thirst, but the Lord provides an endless quenching.
Pretty much daily
Thank you Lord.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him

oh my goodness
The Lord definitely gives generously. That’s an understatement.
Pretty much daily
Thank you Lord

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

This is an important one.
Sometimes I may stray a bit and lean on my own understanding.
This is NOT a good place to be.
But as time progresses, I find it more and more easy to rely only on the Lord’s wisdom.
Thank you Lord

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart

this sounds similar to another above
But, seeking “with all your heart” is the key.

2 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

The verses here tell quite a story.
“whoever believes in me” WILL DO THE WORKS “that I do”
Yes. But be careful. You should ask the Lord to explain the meaning of the words “believes in me”
And the “greater works”
Yes. This it quite true. Obviously.
But may be hard to understand.
Thank you Lord

3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock

Yes. An incredible peace.
Regardless of circumstances.
And that peace grows. Forever.
Thank you Lord

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you

Yes. This is another key to the entire mystery.
Maybe it should be at the top as well.
Thank you Lord

1. The promise of faith, to those who pray and fast. And the promise of miracles, to those who have (enough) faith.

20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” 21 But this kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting [Matthew 17:20-21, ESV]

2. The promise of different kinds of signs, to those who believe.

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [Mark 16:17-18, ESV]

3. The promise of the Holy Spirit, to those who ask.

9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” [Luke 11:9-12, ESV]

4. The promise of power, to those who receive the Holy Spirit.

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” [Acts 1:8, ESV]

5. The promise of some sort of ecstatic experience, through the Holy Spirit, as "rivers of living water", to those who believe in Jesus and are spiritually thirsty.

37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. [John 7:37-39, ESV]

6. The promise of being visited by Jesus and the Father, to those who love and obey Jesus. (Although there is an air of mystery around the exact meaning of this "visitation", since no further details are provided in the text.)

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him [John 14:23, ESV]

7. The promise of prolonged life, to those who honor their parents.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” [Ephesians 6:1-3, ESV]

8. The promise of wisdom, to those who ask for it in faith.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. [James 1:5-8, ESV]

9. The promise of divine direction, to those who do not lean on their own understanding and acknowledge the Lord in everything.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
[Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV]

10. The promise of finding God, to those who seek Him with all their heart, through prayer.

11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. [Jeremiah 29:11-14, ESV]

11. The promise to do works similar and even greater than those that Jesus did, to those who believe in Him. Also, in the next verse, the promise of answers to prayers, to those who ask in the name of Jesus.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. [John 14:12-14, ESV]

12. The promise of perfect peace, to those who focus their minds on the Lord and trust in Him.

3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock
[Isaiah 26:3-4, ESV]

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:4-7, ESV]

13. The promise of (1) being approached by God, (2) freedom from the influence of the devil and (3) exaltation, to those who draw near to God, resist the devil, purify their hearts and humble themselves before the Lord (with mourning and weeping, in repentance).

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. [James 4:7-10, ESV]

Promise #'s 3,4,5,8,9,10 have I received thru the gracious gifts of God.

 

[pescador]

I've not been bitten by a snake or drunk poison. Apart from that, I've been blessed to experience all that you've posted.

That's great! Being bitten by a snake or drinking poison are not part of Scripture. Theye were added later, probably by an overzealous. misguided scribe.

All but 11a.

 

[Aussie Pete]

That's great! Being bitten by a snake or drinking poison are not part of Scripture. Theye were added later, probably by an overzealous. misguided scribe.

I don't know about that. Paul was bitten by a snake and survived.

 

[Gottservant]

There are signs and wonders (in the faith), but I have always wondered "when will all these things come to serve the faith?".

It seems God is happy to entertain those who believe in Him, just because they believe Him.

 

[pescador]

I don't know about that. Paul was bitten by a snake and survived.

But he wasn't tempting God, as the snake bite he received was unintentional.

 

[Aussie Pete]

But he wasn't tempting God, as the snake bite he received was unintentional.

Is it tempting God to speak in other tongues? I don't understand why you would conclude that God expects us to deliberately drink poison.

I use this verse at times when people tell me that you must speak in tongues to be saved. I tell them I have some weedkiller they can drink to prove that they are saved. So far, no one has taken up my offer. We need to know the whole counsel of God. Paul asked the rhetorical question, do all speak in tongues? In context the answer is obviously no.

Lord Jesus also said that His followers would be persecuted, imprisoned and some executed. I've never been imprisoned for preaching the gospel. I've had the occasional run in with an aggressive unbeliever. I've never experienced any physical harm. Some would say that it proves I'm not saved. But that is not what the Bible says.

What are you talking about? I never said that God expects us to deliberately drink poison. The idea, of course, is absurd and dangerous. The idea comes from "the longer ending of Mark", which is a later addition by some scribe. Anybody who drinks poison, handles deadly snakes, etc. is putting their lives in danger.

Anyone who tells you that you must speak in tongues to be saved doesn't know what they're talking about. "Tongues" is one of the several spiritual gifts given to believers as God wills. Do all speak in tongues? No. Do some speak in tongues? Yes.

If you haven't experienced any physical harm from preaching the gospel, great! I haven't either. So what?

You seem very confused and defensive to me. Why not let God give the the peace that passes all understanding?
