The most complete collection of Bible promises built around who we are in Christ.
2,039 promises from the King James Bible, gathered not by your problems but around the Person of Christ.
Lloyd Krein has bought them in Christian bookstores, received them as gifts, kept them on his nightstand, and handed them out at the rescue mission. He has watched worn-out, broken, hopeful people open them looking for a word from God for a day too hard to face without one.
Nearly every one of those books is built the same way. The promises are sorted by topic. Fear has its chapter. Money has its chapter. Healing has its chapter. Grief has its chapter. You come with a problem, the book hands you a promise, you claim it, and you wait.
Every promise in those books is true. What was wrong was what the whole approach was training us to do with them.
It was training us to come to God as customers.
Here’s what I need. Here’s the promise I’ll claim for it. Here’s what I expect God to deliver. The promises became transactions, and the Bible became a catalog.
And when a promise didn’t come through on our timetable, when the healing didn’t come or the child didn’t come home, something worse than disappointment set in. We stopped expecting. We put the promises in a drawer marked “someday” and quietly stopped believing God’s Word was meant to work in our actual days.
The promises of God were never meant to be claimed like lottery tickets. They were meant to form Christ in you.
The promises of God don’t float in the air waiting for the right believer to grab them. They are all bound up in Jesus. Inside of Him, they belong to everyone who is in Him. The promises follow the Person.
That’s why this collection isn’t sorted by topic. It’s sorted by who Christ is to you: Christ my Righteousness. Christ my Peace. Christ my Strength. Christ my Healer. Christ my Shepherd. Christ the Covenant Keeper.
The purpose isn’t that you claim a promise. The purpose is the one Paul prayed for when he said he was in labor “until Christ be formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). The promises are the material. Christ formed in you is the result. And because every promise is in Him, as He is formed in you, He brings the whole inheritance with Him.
It happens the way Paul describes:
The promises are the mirror. When you read one, not to claim it, but to see Christ in it, you’re changed.
Most of us have been taught that the Christian life is like farming. You plant the Word in your heart. You water it with prayer. You wait on the seasons, and one day, God willing, the harvest comes.
None of that is wrong. Much of it is Scripture. But it has become the only way we know how to live with the promises. So when the doctor’s report comes, or the marriage strains, or the bank account empties, the believer doesn’t lift a sword. He goes back to the field and tries to plant the same seed a little deeper.
The prophet Isaiah foresaw a day when swords would be beaten into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4). But the prophet Joel said something that turns that picture around:
For the believer, the plowshare and the sword are the same thing: the Word of God. Jesus called it seed in the parable of the sower (Mark 4:14). Paul called it “the sword of the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:17). And when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He didn’t claim a promise. He wielded one. “It is written.” Three times, and the enemy left.
So here is the question this book asks you:
You have cultivated the Word for years. Have you ever wielded what you cultivated?
The moment a believer opens his mouth to say something his feelings deny, he’s standing on a knife’s edge. On one side is the faith of Abraham. On the other is a lie. They can look almost the same.
When Abraham was about a hundred years old, God promised him a son. The Bible says Abraham “considered not his own body now dead… neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb” (Romans 4:19). He didn’t pretend his body was young. He looked at the facts. And then he was “fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform” (Romans 4:21).
Abraham didn’t create his son by speaking. He agreed with what God had already spoken. His mouth was the echo. God’s mouth was the voice.
That’s the difference between this book and “name it and claim it” teaching:
The proclamations in this book won’t ask you to pretend, or to deny what you feel, or to lie about your body, your bank account, or your family. They’ll ask you to do something harder and holier: to open your mouth and agree with what God has already said about you in His Son.
A full teaching Introduction that lays the foundation before you ever reach the promises: the problem with promise books, Joel 3:10, how Abraham believed God, and how to live with the promises from the finished side.
23 sections, each built the same way:
The 2,039 promises have been checked so the same promise doesn’t appear twice.
Where everything begins: your standing with God.
Who you are in Him.
What He is to you in your inner life.
What He supplies.
Who He is to you, forever.
“They still wake up in the morning with the low hum of unworthiness running underneath their prayers. They still approach God with the posture of someone hoping to be tolerated rather than someone who knows he is delighted in… If that is you, these fifty-three promises are about to change the way you breathe.”
“They are theologically redeemed and experientially still in the cell. These twenty-seven promises are the sound of the lock turning.”
If you use these proclamations like magic words, reciting them over your circumstances and expecting everything to bend, the book won’t work for you. The proclamations are not levers. They are mirrors. They don’t move God. They form Christ in the one who speaks them, and Christ brings the promises with Him.
So come slowly. Read a section. Sit with the teaching that opens it. Read the promises aloud, and read them again tomorrow and next week. Formation isn’t fast. It’s “from glory to glory.” Some of what you read will seem to do nothing, and then one day you’ll realize it has done everything.
And hold your expectations with open hands. Some promises will show up soon and visibly. Some in ways you didn’t expect. Paul prayed three times for his thorn to be removed, and it wasn’t. The grace that met him there was the promise all along.

In Ezekiel’s day, the people had a saying: “The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth.” God’s answer wasn’t an apology for the wait. It was to silence the saying.
Trust the One who is forming you. Speak what He has already spoken. Behold Him in the mirror of His Word.
And let the weak one in you, at long last, open his mouth and say what is true of him in Christ:
“I am strong.”
