I’ll never forget the day Gloria and
I settled forever that our children were
not going to hell, but were going to live
for God. Sitting in the middle of our bed
with Bibles and concordances and lists
of scriptures all around us, we agreed together
in prayer that our children and every
member of our family would be saved
and serve God. We stood on God’s promise
in Matthew 18:19 that “if two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any thing
that they shall ask, it shall be done for
them of my Father which is in heaven.” We
settled forever that we were a family without
tragedy.

Well, that was many years ago, but we
have never once backed off our stand of
faith. And today, not only are our children
saved and serving God, but all three of
them and their families are working with
us in the ministry.

How did we do it? By learning what
rights and promises are given to us in the
Word of God. Every time the devil came
to kill, steal and destroy our children and
our family, we looked for the scriptures we
could use to combat the forces of the evil
one. We stood on the promises of God in
faith, and the power of God’s Word got the
job done!

It will get the job done for you and for
your family too, if you’ll take God’s promises
to heart and act on them. That’s why
we’ve put together this book of Family
Promises. We want to help you get the
truth of God’s Word concerning your family
fixed and established in your heart, and
help you keep the Word of God before you
at all times.

Read Family Promises over and over.
Meditate on God’s promises for your family.
Confess them aloud daily. Stand on them
in faith and act on them. Get your family
together around the Communion table and
settle forever that no member of your family
will perish. Then when the devil comes
around to try to destroy your marriage or
steal your children, you can resist him with
the Word—“As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).
