There are real, unshakable promises that God has made to those who are willing to follow Him.  They stand in contrast to the crafty lies of the devil & those lies are designed to cause us to doubt the wonderful assurances that come from God.

I.  Promise #1:  I am the God most high, there is none greater (Gen. 1:1, Exodus 3:14; Isa. 46:9-11; John 14:6; Heb. 11:6)

     Lie #1:  "You are the center of your own universe, you need to get what you can in this life"  (Matt. 4:1-11; Rom. 1:24-25; 1 Tim. 5:8; James 3:16; Phil. 2:1-5; Acts 4:12)

II.  Promise #2:  I will never leave you or forsake you  (He. 13:5-6; Josh. 1:5; 1 Chron. 28:20; Ps. 118:6; Matt. 28:20)

      Lie #2:  You are on your own, sometimes, to take care of things  (1 Kings 19:1-4, 9-10; Job 2:7-10; Num. 14:1-5; Matt. 17:1-5)

III.  Promise #3:  All who are righteous will persecuted  (2 Tim. 3:10-12; Matt. 10:22; John 16:33)

        Lie #3:  If God is in control and He's allowing you to suffer, then He cares more about his own glory than he does about you."  (1 Pet. 1:3_9; Matt. 5:10-12; 2 Tim. 2:8-12; Job 1:10-12. 16, 20-21)

IV.  Promise #4:  No one can take away your salvation (John 10:28-29; Rom. 8:38-39; John 5:24)

      Lie #4:  "You will not surely die"  (Gen. 3:4-5' Heb. 10:26-28; 2 Tim. 2:24-26; Eph. 2:1-6)
