I was speaking in our 10am Service last Sunday about fresh hope. Hope is one of those things we can’t do without , it so easily ebbs away or is some how diminished through day to day life. Some one once described hope as “a confident expectation in the future”
The challenge is to draw our hope from the right place, lets be honest you probably won’t draw fresh hope for each day from the 6 o’clock news. The Bible talks about hope in 1 Corinthians 13:13 there are three things that are not going to pass away – Faith Hope and Love. Don’t let hope be robbed from your life by the circumstances you are facing right now. Know that God is with you, He hears your prayers and some of those prayers will be answered this week.
We had a lady come forward for prayer in one of our services several week ago she had been diagnosed with an enlarged heart, we prayed and that following week after more scans and tests the cardiologist told her her heart was now normal size again. The point is if she didn’t have fresh hope that God could heal her that day would she have even come forward for prayer, – fresh hope opens the door in your life for miracles.
The Apostle Peter quoted David in the Old Testament when he says in Acts 2 (The Message)
25 David said it all: I saw God before me for all time. Nothing can shake me; he’s right by my side. 26 I’m glad from the inside out, estatic; I’ve pitched my tent in the land of HOPE
So pitch your tent in the land of hope this week
