Saturday Review
Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises we learned during the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts.
Monday – Five Things For Taking Every Thought Captive
We began the week seeing how we can take every thought captive. Our mind is a spiritual battlefield, but God has given us the mind of Christ.
Because you have the mind of Christ, you have power over your thoughts.
Here’s the promise.
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. – 2 Corinthians 10:5
Make these confessions.
- I have the mind of Christ in me.
- I am taking every thought captive.
- I am capturing every wrong thought early.
- I am transforming my mind by dwelling on God’s Word.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Every thought that takes you away from walking in obedience to Christ must be captured and restrained, just like a prison of war.
Tuesday – God Trains Those He Loves
On Tuesday, we learned that because God loves us, He brings discipline and training into our lives.
God allows various trials in your life to build your faith and trust in Him. As your faith is tested, it grows and develops.
Here’s the promise.
My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. – Proverbs 3:11-12
Make these confessions.
- God’s discipline is always for my good.
- Because He loves me, He tests and stretches my faith.
- I don’t always enjoy discipline, but it makes me spiritually mature.
- I welcome His discipline because it makes me more like Him.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Because God loves you, He sometimes has to correct you. He does that to make you stronger and to bring you back to Himself. He always does it out of love.
Wednesday – I Have I Have the Peace of Christ
Midway through the week, we claimed the peace Christ promised us.
Peace is the confident understanding that your loving Heavenly Father is watching over you no matter what situation you may be facing.
Here’s the promise.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. – John 16:33
Make these confessions.
- Today, I have the peace of Christ.
- Because He overcame the world, He offers me peace
- In the midst of my storm, Jesus gives me peace.
- As I face problems and difficulties, I know the peace of Christ rests on me.
In Jesus Name.
Amen
You can have peace because true peace is only found in your relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus gives you His peace that overflows and never runs dry.
Thursday – I Am a Citizen of the Kingdom of Christ
On Thursday, we saw that through faith in Christ, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to become citizens in the kingdom of Christ.
Here’s the promise.
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. – Colossians 1:13
Make these confessions.
- I am no longer a member of the kingdom of darkness.
- I am now a citizen of the Kingdom of Christ.
- Jesus is my Lord and King.
- I live in victory today because Christ has made me part of His kingdom.
In Jesus name,
Amen
The power of sin has been broken, and Satan has no claim on you. Through your faith in Christ, you are now a citizen of heaven.
Friday – The Lord is Patient With Me
We concluded the week with the promise that God is patient with us.
We all want our walk with God to move from one glorious moment to the next, but unfortunately, it’s often two steps forward and one step back.
The good news is that God knows our weaknesses and frailties. He knows what we are made of. Therefore, like a loving father, He is patiently guiding you in the way you should go.
Here’s the promise.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9
Make these confessions.
- God is never slow in fulfilling His promises.
- God is patient with me and knows my frailty.
- He is working to make me more like Jesus.
- He patiently draws me back to Him when I stray.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
God is patiently working in your life. He knows your weakness and your failures but is committed to bringing you into a closer relationship with Him.
That’s it for this week. I hope these promises have been a blessing to you. Go back through these promises and allow God to renew your mind with these truths from His Word.
