It’s essential for every follower of Jesus Christ to know without a doubt that God fulfills His Word. The Bible states this truth in many different ways, and in many different passages of Scripture. Let’s just look at a few.Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass. (Josh 21:45 NKJV)Notice that the above Bible verse states, “ALL came to pass.” This is significant—don’t undervalue it.The Lord then said, “You are right, for I’m watching over my word until it is fulfilled.” (Jer 1:12 CEB)This Scripture describes God as “watching over His Word” to make sure that it occurs exactly as He said that it would. It gives us a picture of God not allowing anything to escape His notice or His attention. He is guaranteeing that His own Word comes to pass.The Lord has done what He determined; He has accomplished His word . . . (Lam 2:17a NASB)I like this Scripture in the New American Standard Bible. It is very clear and cannot be misunderstood! God accomplished His Word. End of story. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (Lk 2:20 NIV, underscoring added)Note that everything that the shepherds heard and saw happened JUST AS THEY HAD BEEN TOLD! This fulfills another Bible verse:. . . in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began . . . (Tit 1:2 NKJV, emphasis added)We are simply called as BELIEVERS, to accept God’s Word as true, reliable, and trustworthy. The Bible clearly says that God cannot lie. Meditate upon this and stir up your faith, and your life, by radically believing God’s Word! God bless you.

Someone once said: "God votes for you. The devil votes against you. YOURS is the Deciding Vote!" Think about the truth of this statement, and how important your own thoughts, words, and decisions are in your life!
Family; music; reading; writing articles; and doing Bible research are some of my favorite things. I believe that God is good and that He loves mankind all of the time. He's never in a bad mood! He is our Savior, Deliverer, Healer, Reconciler, Provider and Protector. He desires a loving relationship with each and every human being. Praise God!
I've served the Lord for 49 years in various ways--mostly in the background and in church clerical and administrative functions. Eventually, I was promoted and given more responsibility. I was asked to teach and to co-lead the Healing Ministry with my husband. Ultimately, the Lord blessed me by calling me as an Associate Pastor for nearly 8 years before I retired. I love serving the Lord and His people!
