‘Be Convinced.’
a) Romans 14:5. Of our conscience and Faith.
b) Luke 16:31; Acts 28:24. In the reality of the Gospel only by hearing the Word of God.
c) Luke 20:6. That real men of God are men of God.
d) Acts 26:9. In the right way and not the wrong way.
e) Romans 4:21; 2 Timothy 1:12. That God is able to do what He has promised.
f) Philippians 1:25. Of the Will of God.

‘Mephibosheth.’
a) 2 Samuel 4:4. Had a serious childhood accident that crippled him for life.
b) 2 Samuel 9:1-7 & 10-11. Was shown great kindness by King David.
c) 2 Samuel 9:12. He had his own family.
d) 2 Samuel 16:1-4. Was betrayed by Ziba and misunderstood by King David.
e) 2 Samuel 19:24-30. Sought reconciliation with King David after Ziba broke their relationship. (Sometimes a manipulative third party can break our relationship with another person, especially if we are some distance away from that person)
f) 2 Samuel 21:7. Was spared by King David because of the Lord’s Word.

Chris.
God is able to do what He has promised. We need to trust the Promises God gives to us rather than the prophecies God gives to us. God’s Promises are found in His infallible Word. Prophecies are given by fallible human beings and are open to judgment. We are Biblically exhorted to test and judge prophecies.
