Prayer and Promises
Insight from Ellen G. White
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ!
—2 CORINTHIANS 1:20
Keep the mind filled with the precious promises found in the Bible, and when Satan comes in like a flood to overwhelm you, meet him with the weapon which the word of God has provided, “It is written.” This will break his power and give you the victory. — Historical Sketches of the Foreign Missions of the Seventh-day Adventists, 1886, p.130
These short devotions begin with a promise and finish with a prayerful response from the message. Experience more thoughtful prayers and a deeper appreciation of the power of God’s word.
The lessons of Christ were illustrated so clearly that the lowest and most simple-minded could readily comprehend them. Jesus did not employ long and difficult words in His discourses, but used plain language, adapted to the minds of the common people. — Testimonies for the Church Volume 4, p.260
PRAY IN FAITH. “THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH.” PREVAILING PRAYER IS THE PRAYER OF LIVING FAITH; IT TAKES GOD AT HIS WORD, AND CLAIMS HIS PROMISES.
