There are many promises of God in the bible. By some counts, God has issued more than 40,000 promises. That’s a lot of promises! A promise is a declaration or expression of assurance that something will or will not be done. And I want to share with you just a few of those promises from the bible.
HOW CAN YOU TRUST IN GOD’S PROMISES?
First, God is not a man. He is not human. He has never sinned and never lied.
God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23: 19)
Second, God never changes.
I am the Lord, and I do not change….(Malachi 3: 6)
Unlike you and I, who change our minds constantly. When God decides to do something he will see that it gets done. If he has spoken it, he will fulfill it. For these reasons, you should trust God’s promises and heed his warnings.
WHAT CAN GOD’S PROMISES DO?
God’s promises can free you from addictions, deliver you from evil, help you through financial problems, help you to overcome depression, give you healing and strength, and break you free from fear and anxiety just to name a few.
GOD’S PROMISES

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11: 28)
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my temple. If you do, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies, I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! (Malachi 3: 10)
