God Promises for 2017.

God Promises for 2017. God promises us an abundant life, but we can’t have abundance unless we position ourselves in the greatness of God. The Bible “says that without a vision the people perish (Proverbs 29:18).” We must have a vision of the greatness of God and pray to be God-focused rather than self-focused. If we are God-focused we can walk in true freedom. Then we can walk every day with a greater vision of what God is like, what He is saying, and what He can do.
•
• God wants to position you in the greatness of God. He wants to give you a new belief and expression of the power of prayer in your own life. He wants to give you a new freedom in your walk with Him. God is preparing you. He wants to impart to you new life. His training is supernatural training. You and I are in the process of becoming. We are changed from glory to glory as we grow into a Christ-like person.
•
• Are you desperate today in some area of your life? Do you have questions where there are no answers but God? He uses ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances to show His mighty power. When you are desperate, you are in the prime place to shift into the greatness of God. Your impossibility opens the way for the possibilities of God –
• You may have lost your hope and think that there is no one who understands your situation. God understands.

• Positioning Yourself in God's Greatness
• "God is big enough to take care of your smallest need."
• How are you looking at life? Do you see the greatness of God in the midst of it all? Open your heart to the great God who is with you and can take care of your smallest need. May these practical steps help unlock the treasure chest of God inside of you. Apply these tools wholeheartedly and with all diligence in your life:



Romans 15:13 - “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

God our Father is the One who has blessed us through the year of 2016. He is the One who will be with us in the year before us—2017. “Every good thing given and every perfect gift” given during the past year has come “from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17). The psalmist says it well: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits” (Psalm 103:1-2). Although each of us has faced sorrow and perhaps even tremendous tragedy during the year behind us, still we can remember God’s blessings and benefits that come to us in abundance. We can also depend on the Lord God to be the same gracious and faithful God He has always been.
As we arrive at the beginning of another year, let us be grateful to God for new opportunities and amazing blessings. We have the opportunity .
• to begin a brand new year with amazing possibilities
• to leave the failures of last year behind
• to correct past faults of character, word and action
• to seek forgiveness from others and from God
• to learn from past mistakes
• to begin to love God and others more fully
• to be more active in our prayers to the Father
• to repair broken relationships

• to be a responsible father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, and friend
• to clear our conscience and maintain a good one
• to read and study God sword with greater fervency
