Hope against Hope

Lord, I like many reading carry a deep hope for my prayers and petitions. Let that which we desire come to past according to your Holy will. Your word declares that hope maketh not ashamed. Let not our hopes bring us to shame in JESUS' name (Romans 5:5)

The bible carries the greatest definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1. It says that, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Just because we may not physically see our hope does in no way discount our faith. It actually gives us something to hold on to, until that hope is fully realized.

Awaiting the manifestation of a promise or prayer is not for the faint of heart. The bible even goes on to say that hope deferred makes the heart sick. (Proverbs 13:12) But praise God, the same verse also states that when the desire comes it is a tree of life.

Our Brother Abraham can confirm that standing in hope for something is not a small feat. The bible states that Abraham against hope believed in hope. Meaning he had hope when there was no reason to have hope! He was 90 years old and had no children, yet he was told that he would be the Father of many nations!

Even in the saving of our souls. We believe that we shall receive the glory promised to us because we hope in Jesus! Christ is our Hope of Glory! (Colossians 1:27) We are saved by HOPE: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees why doth he yet hope for? (Romans 8:24-25)

You get it? I hope I'm making sense here. (pun intended) =D

We hope for these things because He said it. And we believe that God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19)

HE THAT PROMISED IS FAITHFUL! (Hebrews 10:23)

Scriptures to build up your HOPE!

  1. (Romans 15:13) 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. 
  2. (Psalms 31:24) Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
  3. (Romans 4:18) Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 
  4. (Psalms 119:114) Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy Word.
  5. (Psalms 33:22) Let thy mercy, Oh Lord. be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
  6. (1 Peter 3:15) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

Psalms 97 ⚔️🕊️

  97  The   Lord   reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2  Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3  A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4  His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the  Lord , at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6  The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7  Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8  Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O  Lord . 9  For thou,  Lord , art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10  Ye that love the  Lord , hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth t...

Psalms 98 🕊️⚔️

1  O sing unto the   Lord   a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2 The   Lord   hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 3  He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4  Make a joyful noise unto the   Lord , all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 5  Sing unto the   Lord   with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the   Lord , the King. 7  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8  Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together. 9  Before the   Lord ; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the w...

Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥

The Lord blessed me to read in the book of Jeremiah today. It was so sweet! He first showed me Jeremiah 31:16 on 12/19/22. Verse 16 really comforted me, but I didn't really get the surrounding verses until today. I pray I can glean more from these scriptures. You don't need to seek a prophet, when you can get it straight from the Source: The Word of God. Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥 15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. My understanding: I found that Ramah, is a HILL in Benjamin on the border of Ephraim. According to Psalms 24:3, a hill signifies the ch...
