With this podcast we are beginning with the prophetic books of the Bible. These Prophetic Books contain the mighty promises of God.

So, what is your definition of a promise?

When a man and a woman stand at the wedding altar and promise each other, what are they doing?

They are committing themselves to give of themselves to each other. A promise then, basically, is a commitment to share yourself. If you give a promise to someone, you are committing or sharing something of your time, your energy, or your resources with that person.

That is what a promise is. It is a sharing of self.

The great promises of the Bible are the assurances of God to share Himself with us. When we understand God’s promises, we will begin to understand something more of the nature and the character of our God. Every promise is a commitment, on God's part, to give of Himself.
