I have loved you the same way the Father has loved me. So live in my love.If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father’s commandments, and in that way I live in his love.
John 15:9-10
We live and remain in God’s love by following the commands that Jesus gives us. All of God’s commands have to do with loving God and loving others.
This week I want to encourage and establish some things in your life that would move you in a positive direction and make a huge difference in the way you see life’s challenges and situations as you hold onto your hope.
Children of God If you’ve been feeling a little hopeless and you know you’ve been looking only at the natural circumstances and negative things in your life, its’ time to switch your focus and hold on to your hope.
6 Reasonsit’s important to cling to your anchor of hope
1. Hope brings eternal value – Proverbs 23:18 (NKJV) for surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.
This verse is telling us there is surely a future hope for us, and our hope will not be cut off. No matter what is going on around us—there is a future hope in Christ.
Eternal, as in having no beginning and no end in time; lasting forever.
2. Hope brings God’s plan for us, forward – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11(NKJV)
This verse is saying that God knows the plans He has in mind for us, they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.
3. Hope brings with it, faith! Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
We don’t have to see Him to believe that He exists. The Spirit gives witness to our spirit that hope in God is a sure foundation that we can build our lives on.
4. Hope releases love. 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. Romans 5:5 (NKJV)
This verse is saying Hope reveals the love of God that is within every believer. We are moved by the Spirit of God to show love to others in the hope that they will come to know Christ. Hope is the filter in which love is expressed in action and not just words.
5. Hope brings security. And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety. Job 11:18 (NKJV)
This verse is telling us having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will rest in safety. Hope in Christ means that you’re completely secure in God’s hand in this world. When the storms of life are raging, your anchor is the hope that God is in control.
6. Hope brings confidence. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech. 2 Corinthians 3:12 (NKJV)
This verse is sayingsince we have such a hope, we can act with great confidence. We can come boldly to the throne of grace and seek God’s help because of hope.
I encourage you to take a few minutes to make this declaration over your life. When you are in the middle of challenges and fear tries to still your peace. Always speak positive words over your life. Psalms 23:4 says, “I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”
Declare this over yourself and live it everyday until it comes alive in your heart.
I will fear no evil! God is with me! Not only is He with me; but He is for me. His perfect love drives out all fear in my life. I seek the Lord, and He hears me, and delivers me from all of my fears.
He makes me brave. He makes me courageous. He sets my heart at ease. I will not be like the world. I will not respond like the world. My confidence is in my God to heal, to save, to deliver, to provide, and to protect me.
I will walk in divine protection and I will live in God’s divine peace.
I choose today to cast all of my cares, worries and anxieties on Him. He cares about my life. I am always on His mind. I choose today to put God on my mind and hide His word in my heart. I choose to seek the Lord and I will find His purpose, His direction and His wisdom for me. I will fear no evil, God is with me. In Jesus name, amen.
Child of the Most High God, you are too blessed to be stressed. So, just keep resting in God’s loving arms. In Him, you always win and overcome!
The purpose today is to encourage you to have faith in God and begin to build upon your faith daily.
What is Faith? Faith involves you placing confidence in God’s spoken word and responding to it. Faith isnt something we exercise just once. Our Faith needs daily guidance.
Faith Definitions:
(1) Knowing what to do to release the power of God in your life.
(2) Acting on the word of God
Mark 11:22-24 Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you.”
In James 1:6 NKJV) Ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
Jesus is telling us to, Have faith in God. The book of James tells us to Ask in faith be sure that your faith is in God alone.
We must pray, ask, believe, receive and keep the faith.
Definition Secure : providing protection from danger or harm: guarded so that no one can enter or leave without approval :easy in mind: confident : assured in opinion or expectation: having no doubt: free from danger
God Word Will Always Keep Us Secure.
Psalm 112:6-8(GW)He will never fail. A righteous person will always be remembered. He is not afraid of bad news. His heart remains secure, full of confidence in the Lord. His heart is steady, and he is not afraid. In the end he will look triumphantly at his enemies.
Our safety and security is rooted deeply in the Lord’s presence. With him we can face life with great courage.
Proverbs 1:33 (CEB) “Those who obey me will dwell securely, untroubled by the dread of harm.”
Proverbs 1:33(GW)But whoever listens to me will live without worry and will be free from the dread of disaster.”
