Many times we as humans will do things which we have to repent from. We say things to people that will hurt their feelings and sometimes we do things that hurt people. Sometimes we make promises and we do not keep them and that can even hurt someone. But we as Christians, we must repent and God will forgive us.
What do you think? What about God, do you think he has to repent? I believe that God knows everything and he alone decides what happens in our life, he knows what we need, and when he makes us a promise he will not take it back.
Numbers 23:19 says God is not a man that he will lie; or is he the son of man, that he should repent: Have he said, and shall he not do it? Or have he spoken, and shall he not make it good.
God is not a man and he does not have to repent because he can not make a mistake. God does not lie. Why would he need to? His word confirms everything he promises us he will do. Remember though the promises are meant for those who believe and submit their lives to God.
Holding God to the word and not being obedient is not the answer. The bible says Obedience is better than sacrifice.
God will not promise us anything and then take it back. Sometimes though a person may give there life to God, be promised something and then they may backslide. Do you think that this person will receive that promise? I think not, but God knows our heart and he alone can answer that question. When God promises us something as an obedient Christian, we will receive it and all we must do is to believe he will do it.
Matthew 7:7 says "Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you. If we exercise our faith ask, seek and knock, we will receive.
Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This is the faith we must have to receive every promise, blessing, healing and deliverance that God has promised he would do for us.
