Hope that abounds

Hope enables you to reach out to claim, bring to fulfilment the promises of God for your life.
Expectations are developed by your thoughts, your emotions, what you see and what you hear.
God does not want us to base our expectations on what we think and feel.

God wants our expectations to be lifted by the Hope of the Gospel. Based on the promises in the living word of God. Faith and hope are combined in the heart of the believer, bring forth a unity that builds the expectation of hope to bloom in their lives. To believe God for all things, with God nothing shall be impossible. For with our God we can do all things. Nothing shall be able to stand before us. If God be for us who can stand against us. Our expectations build a platform for trust in the living God, I learn to depend upon His word to meet my every need, according to his riches and glory through Christ Jesus, my Hope of Glory.

We are certain that what we hope for is already waiting for us. God has already prepared for us to receive what He has promised. Hope is not limited to what you see as your present situation or what you see for your future. Hope enables you to focus, enables you to see with a greater level of expectation. I see with the eyes of faith that the promises of God are true. That God is no respecter of persons, but all that humble themselves and seek His face will be rewarded and He will hear our prayers and bring to pass the promises and blessings He has in store for us.

Hope is more than wishing. Hope is a powerful force God has placed within us.
Greek word for Hope is ‘elps’ means happy expectation of good…
Expectations means reaching out in readiness to receive something.

Hope is a happy reaching out in readiness to receive something good. This Hope is not based upon or limited to what you see or hear. Hope is based on the living faith that abides in you, the gift of live that God gave you when you called upon him to be your Lord and saviour. This gift of faith enables your to see with eyes of expectation to believe for all things to come to pass. That our God is faithful to watch over his word, to perform his good will for our lives. He who shed his life for us, shall he not also give good things to those that call out upon Him, in their time of need.

Hope that is alive is fortified by the power of God, by His Spirit that dwells withing us. This hope that lives within us gives us the full assurance that we are going to be receiving the good things from God our heavenly Father wants to give us good things. Just like our earthly Father would give his child good things when asked. If you ask for bread he will not give you a stone. So also your Heavenly Father will give good things to those that ask of him.

Hope – Living Hope is given to us from God. This hope keeps us stead fast, is an anchor for the soul, is based, strengthened by the word of God.

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

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. Rom 15:13

Let God manifest His glory and presence in your life as you believe Him to bring the promises of God into your life. This living hope gives us access beyond the veil into the very presence of God We have the assurance of His promises, through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Our hope and expectations must be centered on Christ the living Word, and on his completed work on Calvary.

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom 5:5

Its Christ in us the Hope of Glory, we have the indwelling Spirit and power of God residing with us in our lives and will teach us how to apprehend the things of God. Teach us to believe for all things. God want to restore a rewarding relationship with you and the true living God. God want you to experience his deep love and commitment to you. That by his Spirit he will give you and I access unto himself. Let us call upon the Lord and He will hear us and show us great and mighty things.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38-39 

There is no power in heaven or on earth that can separate us from Fathers love.

He reached down from heaven to save us from our sins, and bring us into the family of God. He is a loving Father, that gives life to his creation. It is the devil that came to kill and destroy. God sent Jesus to give us life and that life more abundantly. If we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, ye shall be saved. God gives you a new life, by the power of His Holy Spirit he unites us with himself. He says I will never leave you nor forsake you.

The enemy of our soul, the worldly influence will try to blind us from the love of God. You can not always rely on your feelings and whatever thoughts are passing through your mind. We need to put our Trust in the Word of God. We may endure suffer and apparent times of loneliness, but joy comes in the morning. When the light of God and His  understanding renews our faith and confidence, then we know that He has never left us, we were just not aware of his presence.

Learn to pray and seek his face and he will reveal himself to you and you shall begin to sense the warmth of his presence and joy in your life. The presence of God in our live bring joy, peace and righteousness. His presence comes by abiding in His Word, by magnifying his Name. By giving praises to God, this will enable us to be free from the cares of this world and open our eyes to the beauty and love that God has for you and I. May his peace keep you and his grace will strengthen and empower you to live your life with the joy of the Lord richly seated in your heart.

 Have a blessed weekend,

Peter Kelleher

Romans 8:26-39. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3:4-6

And now the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. John answered and said unto them all I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.

This baptism which is from above is the work of the Spirit that the Lord Jesus is releasing upon the chosen people of God. That they may be born from above, that they may indeed escape from the corruption that is in the world and be set free from the power of sin. For I have redeemed you from the curse of the law. You are no longer slaves to sin, but I make you Sons; you are no longer servants of sin but sons of the most High God. You are now free in Christ Jesus, you have been released from the life of a servant, a slave to sin and death.

I have raised you up from this corrupt life that you may be Sons, free to walk in the liberty of my Spirit, to walk in the light and walk in the knowledge of God. Sin shall no longer have dominion over you to rule your life.

But you are free and I enable you to rule in life by the power of my Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives you the power and authority to become Son’s of God.

But as many as received Him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. John 1:12

We have been purchase with a price that we may be adopted sons. Now that ye have been born from above you have access to the heavenly authority, to dwell with Christ to learn of Him. We are now able to hear the Father’s voice, the same voice that guided Jesus during his walk on the earth. He said that His Spirit, God’s Holy Spirit will teach you all things and reveal to you your rights and freedoms of being and heir, a son of the living God.

It is no longer your life that you live, you have a new identity, ye are a new creation in Christ Jesus.  Born conceived by the Holy Spirit to dwell in this flesh and to server the living God. To come to the knowledge that God is now our heavenly Father and we are joint heirs with Christ who loved us and gave His life that we might live. He has brought us and planted us to be a part of the family of God. God our Father wants to reveal the ways of the Kingdom and we must learn to serve and obey him. To learn of Him we must be born from above that we may have our eyes and ears open to hear from above. No man know the Father except His Son and to those to whom he reveals him. We do not have access to God on our own merits. It is the work of God, by His grace are you saved it is the gift of God. Let us yield our members as servants of God to do the works of righteousness, to love the Lord with all our hearts. Let our one desire be that we may know Him and power of His resurrection. That we might live to please our Heavenly Father.
