Hope is the expectation of good in our lives. Without revelation, hope would not exist for the revealing sets the expectation of a positive result. When FATHER speaks, HE initiates hope first then faith continues to rest on the expectation of what hope established. Love assures us of the intent which initiated hope in the first place. FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love provides us a firm foundation of hope and faith.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
When FATHER has spoken to me in the past, HE initiated hope in my expectation of the future. Three different times I was faced with death and HE assured me that I would live and not die. Immediately, peace came over me and there was no fear to be found. My faith rose up and I rested in HIS Word. This is why it is so important to spend time with FATHER and study HIS Word, especially the Words of Jesus, for in them is hope to deal with every situation we face.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 5:
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
FATHER did not promise a life without trials and challenges but HE did provide a means of overcoming those challenges. If we never read and study HIS Word, our hope diminishes because we forget those promises given specifically to us. We must not allow ourselves to become void of HIS Word of promise but let us keep His Word before us day and night. Many people wake up in the morning and run to their computer to check the latest social media output. Why not run to HIS Word and allow hope to be refreshed in our minds? Let not the work of The Holy Spirit remain dormant for we will surely be facing trials and challenges as the day wears on.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 1:
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,
25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,
26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.
Christ is in each of us so we should walk according to this revelation. We should protect our vessels with this in mind. As we remain conscious of this mystery being revealed in us, our faith will bring us to full fruition of the manifestation of His nature being expressed in us toward others. It is truly and honor and a privilege to have this mystery revealed so that we can walk accordingly. Let this hope guide us into the fullness of His Glory coming forth in our lives.
