Hope

It means to expect with confidence; to anticipate knowing; to look and long for with surety; to desire with assurance; to rely on with certainty; to trust with the guarantee; to believe with the knowledge. Eagerly look forward to; assured expectation, confident knowledge, inward possession, spiritual surety, hope.
Psalm 119:49-50 Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.
Because you have The Word of God, in you, and The Holy Spirit in you, God has caused you to have hope; therefore, in any affliction, in any trial, in any circumstance, you have what you need to live!
I will live and not die, blessed be the name of The Lord!
Because when I know His Word has shown up for me so many times, He has accomplished so much for me, and I know that God’s Instructions are true, then I realize that He is my portion, and His Word has caused me to be awakened to Greater!

Perspectives

We talk about this all the time, because your perspective matters, your perspective determines how far you are willing to go. . .
Psalm 119:59 (NKJV) 59  I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
You will walk in the direction your perception takes you; this is why it is so imperative that you remove all other precepts and perspectives, outside of God’s Word, and allow The Holy Spirit to be your guide, your defense, your voice!
Because when adversity hits, your hope will not be disappointed, because you keep His Word, therefore I have hope that things will get better! As a matter of fact, the Hope I have gives me confidence that things are already better!
Hebrews 10 tells us that the law, only had a shadow of the “Good Things” to come and not the very image!
Psalms 40:6-8 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”
Jesus came and took away the first, to establish the second; the old way cannot do what The New Life can; He said; “Sacrifice and offering You would not, but a body have You prepared Me.”
God sent His Word (Only Begotten Son) into the earth in the likeness of sinful flesh!
His Word caused us to have Hope, and to see clearer, thus changing our perspective concerning things to come!
This is why we must leave those old things behind, and press forward, because your perspective is skewed in the old way because there remains a remembrance of those things that caused you to believe you are still in an enmity state!
But because of His Blood, and the knowledge of Him in me, my outlook is always in my favor, because I have His Word, and I will keep His Word; Psalm 119:58 (NKJV) 58  I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word.
And I know that my natural sight is not the reason I live, it is because I know His Word, because He has written it in my heart; therefore I don’t need to see, because God’s Word gives me an outlook, that causes my heart to rejoice always due to the Hope He has given me thru His Word!
Romans 8:24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
I know His Word, that is why I don’t need to see naturally, to believe that He can do it! His Word has awakened me to know who I am! I AM HOPE!

I Know Who I Am

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Because I know who I am, in Him, and realize that His Eye is on me, I realize that I am no longer in the image of that old way, I am now in The New and Living Way!
That old way could not allow me to be in The Way! I will be as He is, for He has called us unto His Glory, to be vessels in the earth that will reveal His Glory!
Therefore I realize that I do not study to show myself approve to man, but to realize that God approved me through sending His Son for me, to die as me!
His Word, The Blood of Jesus, has sanctified me; set you and me apart, so we have a right to greater expectations in Him!
Our Hope is in His ability not ours; He has written His Precepts, His Word in our hearts; we must do His Will and set our Hearts apart for His Word! 1 Peter 3:15-16 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
I don’t have to fight with any enemy because His Word has given me Hope that He has already won the fight! So I rejoice and be glad, because God has prepared that table right there so that my enemies can see me come up!
And because of His Word that has sanctified my heart, has set me apart, I have boldness to enter into The Holiest of Holies, in Jesus The Christ Name!
The Anointed One! Who gave us The Way to have greater Hope! Because of His Word, that was with Him in the beginning, but chose to come to the earth and be the image of God in us!
Therefore, we have Hope to continue on, even when it does not look promising naturally, I have hope to keep moving forward!
Jesus Christ came. . .
