Last Night at our FLAP Bible Study, Participants were asked to present THEIR PERSONAL and ABSOLUTE PROVEN Promises that they have tried and God has proven faithful.  THese are NOT just scriptures out of ‘The Book,’ but rather time tested promises that THEY have grabbed onto, tested and found to be 100% faithful and true.  All promises came with personal stories of difficulty, struggle and trial.  I think it only proper to share them.  Thank you participants for your input, and thank you Heather for writing them down.  ‘The List’ is NOT comprehensive of EVERY blessing GOd has for His People. Perhaps YOU may want to share YOUR personal experience and ‘God Promise’ to add to the list. Simply send it to me.  If you are lacking in any of these areas, God has a PROVEN PROMISE for YOU.
