Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Have you ever been in the middle of a faith stand, when suddenly it seemed like your faith just quit working? Maybe you were believing God for healing, or financial deliverance, or the salvation of your family. Spiritually, everything was in place. You found the scriptures that promised you what you need and you started firing off confessions of faith like a machine gun. But as time went by, the power you had when you first took your stand began to fade away, and you developed a suspicion that nothing would happen. In desperation, you tried to shove those doubts away by confessing louder and longer and you still ended up sick, broke and surrounded by unsaved relatives, wondering what went wrong. In the end, you probably just chalked it up as a faith failure. But Im about to tell you something that will change your life if youll pay attention. It certainly changed mine. What you experienced was not the failure of your faith...it was a breakdown of your hope. Hope - Supernatural Expectancy. Before you can understand how important hope is, you have to realize that Bible hope is not wishing. Hope is based on your covenant with God and the anointing God has provided to carry out that covenant in your life. It literally means to anticipate, usually with pleasure. In fact, Ephesians 2:12 says before you knew Jesus, you were ...without Christ [or without the anointing], being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. Hope comes when you take those promises and keep them before your eyes and in your ears until they begin to build an image inside you. Hope comes when you begin to see yourself with what God has promised you instead of seeing yourself without it. When you have hope, you have a supernatural expectancy that what God has promised will come to pass in your life. Don’t give up Hope ................... Pastor I
