Every individual ever created since the beginning of time will receive at least one promise in his or her lifetime. Not necessarily a person's destiny, but a simple promise. Whether it is a promise of marriage, children, career, inheritance, business opportunity, car, money, travel, or any other imaginable desire you can conjure. In the King James Version of the Bible, the word promise is found 13 times. However, theologians say there are more than 3,500 promises delineated in the Holy Scriptures for mankind. This book, The Promise, illustrates the ability to achieve a promise from God by understanding the definition of a promise, the prepared state that one must be in and the position of patience that one must display. Through this book the reader will be able to identify the point in their life where they are close to achieving a specific promise from God. After identification, one can achieve and receive the promise from God.
