IS GOD’S PROMISE FOR ME?
…giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
– Colossians 1:12 (NKJV)
When we read a promise in God’s Word, we tend to ask ourselves, “Is this the Father’s promise for me?” Satan will try to plant doubt in you by causing you to think you are disqulified for the inheritance. It’s one of his oldest tricks.
When you read Old Testament promises, you will find that many of them have conditions. For example, when you read Psalm 84:11 (NKJV), no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly, the first question that may pop into your mind is “Am I blameless?”
Instantly your mind turns to all the things you’ve done wrong. You remember that Jesus said even thinking about committing sin or knowing something is right and not doing it is sin! There’s just no way you could qualify for this promise…right?
Wrong. If you follow Jesus, He qualifies you for EVERY promise. There is no point in focusing on all you’ve done wrong. You cannot disqualify yourself from God’s promises because you didn’t qualify yourself in the first place!
Stop thinking you are not good enough! According to Colossians 1:12, you qualify for it all when you put your trust in Jesus. Never take your eyes off Jesus and become focused on what you do and fail to do.
If there is a condition attached to the promise, ask yourself, “Did Jesus fulfill that condition?” If He did (and He fulfilled every one), then you qualify to receive the promise.
(Faith Series By Leon Fontaine)
In other words God says "Yes" to all of His promises, and we need to respond back with "Amen" to claim the promise. They are there for us, but we have to believe it, and agree with it to make it manifest in our lives.

The first letters spell out BIBLE. (No, I didn't think you, or anyone else, is ignorant.. I just thought I would help those who are not familiar with anagrams)
The scripture is full of promises given us. And we need to accept them. Gifts God has given us. And, you don't turn down a gift given to you...freely and without strings.
Thank you, Lynette, for this reminder.
