FROM THE AU T H O R One of the wonders of God’sWord is how much depth can be found in a single Scripture.One verse can speak volumes of information to us.Consider Hebrews 4:16. This verse alone contains promises ofgrace,mercy,forgiveness, boldness,closeness with God,answered prayer,spiritual power,and more.I’ve probably read it a thousand times,and yet each time I read it I am overwhelmed by the fullness ofit. There aren’t enough days in our lifetime for us to experience all there is to know about the Word.The Talmud,a collection ofancient rabbinic writings on Jewish law and tradition (the Mishna and the Gemara) that constitute the reli- gious authority in Orthodox Judaism, tells us that someday God is going to interpret for us even the spaces between the letters. Ironically, this incredible depth is what made writing this book so difficult. When I was asked to separate the Complete Personalized Promise Bible into topics,my first thought was,“You’ve got to be kidding!”I suddenly had a pic- ture in my mind of a thirty-volume set.Hebrews 4:16 alone could be classified into about a dozen topics.I knew that the only way to do this was to simply take each passage and choose a single topic for it instead of duplicating that Scripture into all ofthe topics that it covers. Well,it worked for the most part,but for some Scriptures,eeny meeny miny mo just didn’t seem to cut it. So here and there I have repeated a few of the promises.However,I only did this where I felt it was necessary,and there are so few that it barely affects the size of the volume.The beauty of this is that God has placed such an abundance ofpromises in His Word that once I divided them all up,there were plenty for each topic. The other difficulty I enc ou n t ered was cho osing the topi c s . The re are hun - dr eds to cho ose from; but ifI used them all, it would have been nearly impos s i b le to cho ose what passage would go whe re. What I rea l ly wanted to do was narrow it down to just a few dozen topi c s . As you can proba b ly guess,Go d has placed a lot more than a few dozen categories ofpromises in His Word. So after hours of cond ensing and sub cla s s i f y in g ,I finally end ed up with an even sevent y topi c s . But le t me tell you , th e y are absolutely awes o me! Just rea ding the topics alone can ma k e you weep with joy.You are abou t to be ble s s e d rig ht out ofyour socks! My personal favorite is the section on how God has promised to be your Friend and closest Companion.Did you know that God thoroughly enjoys your company? Nothing blesses my life more than knowing that God is truly my very best Friend.As a matter offact,I could probably classify every other topic under that one truth. It is my sincere prayer that your life wil l be cha n g ed as you decla r e each of these promi s e s . Ifsi c kness has taken hold ofyour body,th r ou g h these pages I stand in agreeme nt for your healing.Ifthe spirit ofpoverty has you under its crue l hand ofoppres s i o n, I stand in agreeme nt that you are set free .P l e a s e ,child ofGo d, don’t be dup ed into thinking that your hardships are God’ s wil l. He wants you to live a li f e full ofjo y,fr eedom, and pea ce. Rea d His promi s e s . Th e yar e His wil l for you . Second Corinthians 1:20 decr ees that every one ofth e m is you r s. Claim them toda y and ent er into the abundant life that Jes us paid for you to enj o y! u VI u YOU ARE HIS DAUGHTER AND A MEMBER OF DIVINE ROYA LT Y Being a man,I can approach this work from a unique persp ective. I have a se nse ofho w a father res p onds to the daught er he loves . Every step she takes , every smile that graces her face, and every new accomp l i s h m e nt in her life is pre- cious in his sight . You , my sister,ar e God’ s precious daught er.Even now Dadd y is holding you close to His heart. He is with you every mome nt . He decla r es you r name with prid e and sings song s ofyou in the pres e nc e ofthe angels . You have no idea how much God’s love is pouring through me towards you at this very moment.He loves you dearly.As you read these words,He is look- ing upon you with such pride it defies description.All ofthose things you think He is ashamed ofare nonexistent in His eyes.He nailed them all to the cross of Jesus,and all He can see now is the perfection of the daughter He loves. These are the promises that have made you a member ofthe royal family of God.Meditate on them and speak them in the spirit of faith.Know with cer- tainty that you are a daughter ofthe King! JOSHUA22:3 NKJV “You have not left your brethren these many days,up to this day,but have kept the charge ofthe commandment ofthe Lord your God.” @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH I do not desert my brothers and sisters in the Lord. I am true to my calling and my place in the family. (Hebrews 10:25;Numbers 32:33;2 Thessalonians 1:11;Romans 11:29) RUTH1:16 NKJV But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, u 1 u THE COMPLETE PERSONALIZED PROMISE BIBLE FOR WO M E N Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go,I will go; And wherever you lodge,I will lodge; Your people shall bemy people, And your God,my God.” @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH I will not turn back to my old ways ofliving.I take my place in the family of God.They are my people and my dwelling is in their midst. (2 Kings 2:2-6;Romans 8:12-17,29;2 Corinthians 6:14) 1 CHRONICLES28:6 AMP And He said to me,Solomon your son shall build My house and My courts,for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his father. @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH God is my Father.He chose me to be His own child.I will not forget this great honor. (Romans 8:29;John 6:37-39;2 Thessalonians 2:13;Ephesians 1:4,5) PSALM2:1-9 KJV Why do the heathen rage,and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings ofthe earth set themselves,and the rulers take counsel together,against the Lord,and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill ofZion.I will declare the decree:the Lord hath said unto me,Thou art my Son;this day have I begotten thee.Ask ofme,and I shall givetheethe heathenforthine inher- itance,and the uttermost parts ofthe earth forthy possession.Thou shalt break them with a rod ofiron;thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH My Father laughs when my enemies conspire against me to break loose from the chains by which I have bound them.When they take their stand against me and plan my destruction,the Lord mocks them. u 2 u YOU ARE HIS DAUGHTER AND A MEMBER OF DIVINE ROYA LTY Then He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in the wake ofHis wrath.He makes His decree before them that Jesus is Lord and King over my life and that I am not to be harmed. I have been reborn and recreated as Jesus’own sister.Every member of Satan’s army is subject to my authority. (Numbers 24:9;Mark 3:27;Psalm 18:1-19;37:13;Acts 17:28;Deuteronomy 2:25;11:25; John 3:3-8;Luke 10:19;Hebrews 2:11;James 4:7;Revelation 2:26,27) PSALM68:5,6 NKJV A father ofthe fatherless,a defender ofwidows,is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into pros- perity;but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH My God is a Father to the fatherless,a defender ofthe widow,and a com- panion to the lonely.He leads forth prisoners from their bondage with singing, and as His daughter,I do the same. (Job 29:11-17;Psalm 10:14;146:9;James 1:27;Acts 12:6-8;16:22-26) PSALM82:1,6 NKJV God stands in the congregation of the mighty;He judges among the gods. I said,“You are gods,and all ofyou are children ofthe Most High.” @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH I am created to be like a god in this earth — a very member ofthe great assembly.I am indeed a daughter ofthe Most High! (Genesis 1:26-28;2 Chronicles 19:6;Psalm 8:4-6;John 10:34;Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 2:6-10) SONGOFSOLOMON8:1-3 NKJV Oh,that you were like my brother, Who nursed at my mother’s breasts! IfI should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised. I would lead you andbring you u 3 u THE COMPLETE PERSONALIZED PROMISE BIBLE FOR WO M E N Into the house ofmy mother, She whoused to instruct me. I would cause you to drink ofspiced wine, Ofthe juice ofmy pomegranate. (To the Daughters ofJerusalem) His left hand isunder my head, And his right hand embraces me. @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH The Lord Jesus is my elder brother.He is just as much a brother to me as if we had the same mother.I stand in His presence free ofall guilt and inferiority.It is my pleasure to give Him all ofthe best ofwhat I have. (Romans 8:1;28,29;Hebrews 2:11;Malachi 3:6-12;John 10:28,29;Deuteronomy 33:12) ISAIAH62:5 AMP For as a young man marries a virgin [O Jerusalem],so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH The Lord rejoices over me as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride. He has committed Himselfto me in an everlasting covenant sealed in His own blood. (Hebrews 8:6;Acts 20:28;John 3:29;Revelation 18:23) JEREMIAH24:5-7 KJV Thus saith the Lord ,the God of Is rael ; L i ke these good figs ,so wi ll I ack n owl- ed ge them that are carri ed aw ay captive ofJu d a h ,wh om I have sent out of t h i s p l ace into the land of the Ch a l deans for t h ei r good .

And I wi ll give them an heart to know me,that I a m the Lord :and they shall be my peop l e ,and I wi ll be their God :for they shall retu rn unto me with thei r whole heart . @ 2 DECLARATION OF FAITH The Lord looks upon me as a good person.He watches over me meticulously and does nothing but good by me.He is committed to building me up and never tearing me down.He has planted me and will never uproot me.He has given me u 4 u
