An anchor for the soul

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Heb. 6 ... And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

13For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by himself, 14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15And so, after he (Abraham) had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 

16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath:  18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

God told Abraham what HE was going to do ... and then again God "swore" by HIMSELF that what HE has said HE would do.

Thus God gave two "immutable" promises ...

Immutable means:
- unchanging over time
- unable to be changed 

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,

That which God says to us is sure and is an anchor for our soul as we live in faith.
