I saw a scripture recently and on meditating on this powerful verse in the word of God it amazes me that we do have an amazing God. Who truly cares for us all and loves us with an everlasting love. This scripture will help us to trust in the promises of God in our lives and to know that indeed what God as spoken in our lives will surely come to pass and when He as spoken, it is settled and to trust that what He says is what will be in our lives.
In the book of Hebrews 6:18 this is what I saw that got me into a position of resting in the promise that God gave me.
Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we [b]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Easy to read version
These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he says something, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath.
So these two things are a great help to us who have come to God for safety. They encourage us to hold on to the hope that is ours.
Amplified version
So that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge would have strong encouragement and indwelling strength to hold tightly to the hope set before us.
New living translation
So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
Contemporary English version
God cannot tell lies! And so his promises and vows are two things that can never be changed.
We have run to God for safety. Now his promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.
God is not a man that should lie, nor a son of man that should repent has He said and would He not do - Numbers 23:19. I am so glad that our God is not like men that would always tell lies. We has humans we have a tendency to lie and I am not in anyway saying that everybody lies, but there is something in us that causes us to tell lies once in a while or often and we all know that a lie is a lie, there is no difference in a small lie or a big lie.
But we do have a God that is not a man. What God says is what will be in our lives. He as given us some promises and His word as well is the only truth that is true. Remember that He said to us in His word that the truth we know, will set us free - John 8: 31 - 32.
Whatever God says will surely come to be, this is the truth that has set me free this week and I do believe that in all our lives, that promise or that vow will come to manifestation in our life time.
Looking at the promises of God and all He said in His word from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, what He spoke came to be. He said in the book of Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
This simply means that He cannot fail and that promise He gave to us will become true in our lives. Now, remember that He said in 2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
And in Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
Therefore, how we see the times in our lives is different from how our heavenly Father sees the times in His own eyes. We might be looking at things differently but to Him, that holds the world in his hands it is so entirely different. I have been waiting on the promise He gave me for quite sometime now, but in my time of waiting, I believe and trust that He is building me up for that promise to come to manifestation in my life. And this is what is happening to a lot of people now.
What I now know from this scripture is that He as spoken and it will be in His own time. As long as i hold on to the promise then it will become a reality in His own time. The word says that I shall not die but I shall live to declare the works of the Lord - Psalm 119:17.
Whatever is going on in our lives right now does not stop God who does not lie from showing up. Nothing can stop God's promises from coming to be in our lives, except we give up on God's promises ourselves. And will see surely see the goodness of God in our lives - Psalm 27:13.
God does not see us but He sees His promises in our lives and because He is a God that cannot lie. His promises will be true in our lives no matter the circumstances or the things that is going on all over the world.
Isaiah 45:23
I have sworn by my own name;
I have spoken the truth,
and I will never go back on my word:
Every knee will bend to me,
and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.
1 Samuel 3:19
As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable.
Joshua 21:45
Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.
Psalm 119: 89
Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven.
It's impossible for God to lie.
God is God and He created the universe and if this is the case how can He lie? I trust in God so much that I know without a doubt that what He said will definitely come to be.
God is a faithful God and He is true to His word. God will always show up in our lives, There is no one that can tell us the truth our God who Himself is the WORD.
John 1 1 - 2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God
If God says that by Himself He has sworn by His name then we need to trust in what He as said to us in our lives.
There is a lot of promises in His word that we need to hold on to and start saying it back to Him and as we say it by reminding Him of His promises it will be as we say to His glory.
It is therefore, impossible for God to lie.
An angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and gave her a message from God. Mary said to the angel that it will be to her according to God's word.
Luke 1: 26 - 38
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; [a]blessed are you among women!”
But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
God is not a man that should lie. It is impossible for Him to lie.
Jeremiah 33:19 - 21
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.
Remain blessed in the promises of God and trust that what He as said will be in our lives to His glory.
