“We serve bread and bread—physical bread for the body and spiritual bread for the soul.”  — Willie Jordan

 

I’ve heard it said that there are two types of people: “Numbers people” and “Words people.”

I personally consider myself a “Numbers Person.” I look at data and hard facts and communicate them straightforwardly. So when I think of God’s promises, I’d like you to take a look at some numbers with me.

Consider the number 31,102.

This figure is the number of Bible verses contained within the 66 books of Scripture—23,145 passages in the Old Testament and 7,957 in the New Testament.

Thousands of these passages are God’s promises to you and me, which I find fascinating and encouraging. This vast number is not fabricated but factual, and in our world of uncertainty, fear, doubt, and worry, we can be assured that God is with us in our time of need.

Here’s a list of my top seven promises God gives to believers that I want you to grasp:

  • God promised to provide for our needs as we seek Him first (Matthew 6:33).

  • God promised to answer our prayers when we pursue His will (John 15:14-15).

  • God promised to work everything together for our good (Romans 8:28).

  • God promised to be with us and never leave us (Hebrews 13:5).

  • God promised to protect us from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

  • God promised to give us rest (Matthew 11:28).

For my friends on Skid Row, we share that God can free them from their addictions and deliver them from sin and evil. We also tell them Jesus can help with their financial burdens and bring hope to those hurting, overcoming depression, or recovering from broken marriages.

We appeal daily to the souls of men and women we love and care for to know God is there for them—and this is true for you as well, my friends.

My prayer for you today is to trust in God’s promises to meet you and your every need, and I ask that you stand and pray for Fred Jordan Missions and me in return.

My mother, Willie Jordan, often said,

“We serve bread and bread—physical bread for the body and spiritual bread for the soul.” 

Will you support Fred Jordan Missions as we continue to serve bread, chicken, vegetables, salad, and soup to those coming through our doors looking for shelter, a hot meal, and hope? Remember, we never let them leave without sharing God’s promises with them and hope you will cling to them as well.

         DONATE TODAY       

God Bless You, 

JOE JORDAN 

President/Senior Pastor
