Standing on the Promises of God





In a world filled with uncertainty, standing on the promises of God is one of the greatest assurances a believer can hold on to. These promises are more than just words; they are a firm foundation for those who trust in Jesus. 

God's promises give us hope, strength, and peace as we navigate life’s challenges. The Word of God reassures us of His faithfulness and power.

The Foundation of God’s Promises

The Word of God is unchanging

In Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV), it says, 
“The grass withers, the flower fades, 
but the word of our God stands forever.” 

This verse highlights the eternal nature of God’s promises. They remain steadfast through all generations and circumstances. When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, we inherit these promises, becoming co-heirs with Him (Romans 8:17).


In 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV), Paul writes, 
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes,
and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” 


This reminds us that God’s promises are fulfilled in Jesus. As believers, standing on these promises means believing in their fulfillment through Christ.

The Power of Jesus' Name

One of the key aspects of standing on God's promises is understanding the authority given to us in the name of Jesus. (Hallelujah and Amen!)

In John 14:13-14 (NKJV), Jesus said, 
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, 
that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask 
anything in My name, I will do it.” 

There is POWER in the name of Jesus to unlock the promises of God and bring them into reality in our lives.

The name of Jesus is not merely a phrase we say in prayer—it is the key to accessing God’s promises and divine power. Through His name, we can have confidence that God hears us and will act according to His perfect will.




Living with Confidence in God’s Promises

When we live in faith, believing in God’s promises, we walk in victory. 

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) encourages us: 
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope 
without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” 

No matter what trials or tribulations we face, we can rest assured that God is faithful and His promises will never fail. (Hallelujah and Amen!)

One of the greatest examples of this is found in Philippians 4:19 (NKJV), where Paul writes, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 

This verse reminds us that God is our provider, and He will meet all our needs in abundance as we trust Him.


Standing Firm in Times of Difficulty

The storms of life may come, but standing on God’s promises gives us the strength to persevere. 


Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) provides reassurance: 
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, 
for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, 
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” 


We can stand confidently, knowing that God’s promises will hold us up even when things seem difficult.





To stand on the promises of God in the name of Jesus is to embrace the fullness of His grace, love, and power. When we declare His promises over our lives, we are declaring that His Word is true, and His power is real. Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of our faith, assures us that every promise of God is “Yes and Amen” in Him.




May we continue to trust in God’s promises, knowing that they are a sure foundation in every season of life. Amen.
