955B: The Whole Counsel of God
Our study on promises continues with two additional types of promises. They are restricted promises and reverse promises. A restricted promise depends on another's free will, whereas a reverse promise guarantees us things we do not want that God knows we need. We do need to claim the promises of God, but we need to claim them correctly. Learn to examine the whole counsel of God, for God has not given us license to make the Scripture say what we want. Examine the promises carefully to see which type of promise it is, and whether it is for you.
