Hope that abounds
Hope enables you to reach out to claim, bring to fulfilment the promises of God for your life.
Expectations are developed by your thoughts, your emotions, what you see and what you hear.
God does not want us to base our expectations on what we think and feel.
God wants our expectations to be lifted by the Hope of the Gospel. Based on the promises in the living word of God. Faith and hope are combined in the heart of the believer, bring forth a unity that builds the expectation of hope to bloom in their lives. To believe God for all things, with God nothing shall be impossible. For with our God we can do all things. Nothing shall be able to stand before us. If God be for us who can stand against us. Our expectations build a platform for trust in the living God, I learn to depend upon His word to meet my every need, according to his riches and glory through Christ Jesus, my Hope of Glory.
We are certain that what we hope for is already waiting for us. God has already prepared for us to receive what He has promised. Hope is not limited to what you see as your present situation or what you see for your future. Hope enables you to focus, enables you to see with a greater level of expectation. I see with the eyes of faith that the promises of God are true. That God is no respecter of persons, but all that humble themselves and seek His face will be rewarded and He will hear our prayers and bring to pass the promises and blessings He has in store for us.
Hope is more than wishing. Hope is a powerful force God has placed within us.
Greek word for Hope is ‘elps’ means happy expectation of good...
Expectations means reaching out in readiness to receive something.
Hope is a happy reaching out in readiness to receive something good. This Hope is not based upon or limited to what you see or hear. Hope is based on the living faith that abides in you, the gift of live that God gave you when you called upon him to be your Lord and saviour. This gift of faith enables your to see with eyes of expectation to believe for all things to come to pass. That our God is faithful to watch over his word, to perform his good will for our lives. He who shed his life for us, shall he not also give good things to those that call out upon Him, in their time of need.
Hope that is alive is fortified by the power of God, by His Spirit that dwells withing us. This hope that lives within us gives us the full assurance that we are going to be receiving the good things from God our heavenly Father wants to give us good things. Just like our earthly Father would give his child good things when asked. If you ask for bread he will not give you a stone. So also your Heavenly Father will give good things to those that ask of him.
Hope - Living Hope is given to us from God. This hope keeps us stead fast, is an anchor for the soul, is based, strengthened by the word of God.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
Now the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost. Rom 15:13
Let God manifest His glory and presence in your life as you believe Him to bring the promises of God into your life. This living hope gives us access beyond the veil into the very presence of God We have the assurance of His promises, through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Our hope and expectations must be centered on Christ the living Word, and on his completed work on Calvary.
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom 5:5
Its Christ in us the Hope of Glory, we have the indwelling Spirit and power of God residing with us in our lives and will teach us how to apprehend the things of God. Teach us to believe for all things. God want to restore a rewarding relationship with you and the true living God. God want you to experience his deep love and commitment to you. That by his Spirit he will give you and I access unto himself. Let us call upon the Lord and He will hear us and show us great and mighty things.
