Welcome to the section of promises:
When I was a
teenager, I discovered that there is a promise for just about every need I had
or others had. A pastor, Elder Glen Coon, shared how to do this. I listened and
my parents bought his books. I discovered that if I repeated back to Jesus His
words of promise in the Bible and believed He could answer this promise for me,
that as I thanked Him for the answer, He gave what I asked for if it was in His
will for me. Sometimes He waited to answer but He always answered. He helped me
this way as I asked big questions like who to marry, what to do with my life and
many other things teens worry about.
I took the promise, put my finger on it in the Bible, got down on my knees and told Jesus I loved Him and wanted Him to forgive me of my sins. I believed since He made me, He wanted the best for me.
Then I pointed to the promise and told Him since He said this, I believed He meant it and asked Him to keep His promise to me. Jesus likes that. He also adds His prayer to it and the answer comes. I have written out many of the stories of my prayer answers. Some things I cannot tell for the story involves other people who could get very embarrassed over their personal sins.
Do you have a problem you want promises for? Pray, open your Bible and read. Jesus will help you find just what you need. Maybe I can help you find a promise that fits. Send your request to Dr. Rose at tetracha@aol.com
Look through the ones I have collected during some trials and challenges in my life.
From Steps to Christ p 100  Take
to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to
bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the
universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him
to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read;
there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. No calamity can
befall the least of His children, no anxiety harass the soul, no joy
cheer, no sincere prayer escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is
unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest. He healeth the
broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3. The
relations between God and each soul are as distinct and full as though
there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watchcare, not
another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son". |
 Now
I take everything to Jesus. I ask His counsel on things that seem too
small. I am over 50 years old now and I have seen Jesus do some amazing
things. I wanted a daughter for 19 years and finally in answer to my
prayers He gave her to me. I prayed like Hannah prayed for Samuel. Finally
after 13 years He sent me four sons.
Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. To be "righteous" does not mean perfect. A saint is a sinner headed in the right direction. My relationship as best friends with My Forever Friend Jesus is just so special. It is as if I was the only one on this earth to get all His attention and love. God can do that for everyone because He is God. He can do that for you. Jesus has proved to me He can bring food for my children when we were out of work. Jesus proved He can protect the children He gave to us. Jesus always provides for ALL our needs. (Philippians 4:19) He is so generous, He provides more abundantly than we ever ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20). Because we return the tithe as a symbol of partnership with Him, and give freewill offerings, He gives more than we have room for and He rebukes Satan who wants to devour us. (Malachi 3:9,10) During trials, I trust Him like Job who was being tested. I want Jesus to be able to say, "Have you considered My servant Dr. Rose, she loves Me even if she does not have wealth, honor, or material things. She even loves me while she is sick and when she is discouraged." |
I believe that when I am praying, Jesus adds His prayer to mine. His
prayer is as strong and powerful as the mighty Amazon River. Jesus knows
my needs and I ask Him to pray for the things I really need. As soon as I
wake up in the morning early around 3 or 4AM, I tell Jesus thank you for
the good night of rest. I tell Him how much I love Him. I ask for Him to
place His guard on my lips and prompt me to better actions if I am in
danger of bringing dishonor to His name. I ask for wisdom (James 1:5). I
ask for forgiveness of my sins. I tell Him I want to be a laborer for Him.
I want to work with Him helping others see His love and justice and mercy.

  I
have been tested sorely. Finishing medical school and family practice
residency I purchased a retiring doctor's family practice on time
payments. I was immediately tormented by the remaining elderly doctor
partner. Over 6 months time, I was physically  shaken
by the shoulders, threatened to have my nose smashed, and then threatened
to be shot with his gun. I lost terribly in my business as I had to move
and practice elsewhere. He was found to have a brain tumor and was
happy that I would pray for him. That doctor died in an accident on his
own farm when his tractor upturned on him. This doctor hated religion and
said there would be no religious materials brought into the office for
patients to read. I dropped the law suit on him and prayed for his
salvation and forgiveness.

| I want to pass the great test soon to come on all living
on this earth. Jesus says that if I pass this test of obedience over His
commandments, keeping His 7th day Sabbath, I can be sealed with His name
imprinted in my mind. I want to be sealed by God.
"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." {Mar 164.2} |
| God has a promise and a remedy for
every problem anybody has. Look at these examples:
|
| Jesus takes me in his human arm, while his divine arm
grabs onto the throne of God. There is power and comfort in His arms.

Then
in a short time, I gave birth to a young boy born before his time and
deformed. We had a house fire, and the family pet was run over. Loss after
loss came to us. Through it all, like Job, I said that even if God should
see fit to let me lose everything and die, I would still trust and love
Him. At the end of my rope, I hung onto Him. He gave me comfort and
courage for each trial. Daily I began my day with Jesus and kept track of
the promises he comforted me with so I could comfort others. Jesus gently
wiped my tears away.
"Ask in my name," Christ says. . . . Christ is the connecting link between God and man. He has promised His personal intercession. He places the whole virtue of His righteousness on the side of the suppliant. He pleads for man, and man, in need of divine help, pleads for himself in the presence of God, using the influence of the One who gave His life for the life of the world. As we acknowledge before God our appreciation of Christ's merits, fragrance is given to our intercessions. As we approach God through the virtue of the Redeemer's merits, Christ places us close by His side,
