HOPE (AND FAITH)

Hope.
Define hope.
1. To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment.
2. To have confidence; trust.

Hope, a confident expectation of good. But does the world see it that way?

"Oh no, I'm gonna fail my chinese test, I hope I do pass."
"I hope that idiot gets into a mishap."
"I'm praying and hoping."

The world sees hope as something that's impossible to happen but by the "grace" of luck, it would happen. I would like to touch on "I'm praying and hoping."

Yes. You need a miracle.
You've prayed. You tried to have faith. You tried to have a confident expectation of good. But you still don't see your miracle.
You know what? Stop. Stop trying.
Just stop. Believe.
How?
Do you believe Jesus died for you because he loves you?
Do you believe those scars were for you?
Do you believe His health and wealth is yours and your illness and poverty were punished at the cross?
Do you?
It's hard to believe. After a dry spell, it's hard to aqaulify your heart with faith. No, don't ask Daddy for more faith or "give me faith", because he has already given you a measure of faith. You might ask, why is it some people find it so easy to believe God and some people don't? Why are their faith so huge?
How do you expand that measure of faith Daddy has already given you? By believing. Wait, doesn't that brings us back to square one on how to believe? Just like that. In times of trouble, just tell Daddy, "I need you, Daddy. Help me." . Oh, and believing isn't just saying those words I've said. It's really trusting and giving all those yucky moments to Daddy. You knw what? Believing doesn't have to be, "Daddy, I give you my Chinese exams and I pray that you'll help me scored an A1, or A2. ". (Nothing wrong with that; as Jesus scores A1, so do I, AMEN!)
Believing could just be a "Help me, Daddy." and trusing he would rescue you.
Try it. Give Daddy your troubles. Go on. I promise you they're in great hands. I promise you'll feel better. Much better. :)

Anyway, back to hope. I used to think faith was more important thean hope. (Of course the Grace of Daddy is the most important, if not you can hope and hope, have faith but it'll still be useless without grace.)
I used to think like that because my hope was "I'm praying and hoping." kind of hope. Not a confident expectation of good, kinda hope. But thank God for Pastor Prince. My blessing. =)

Hope comes before faith.
Having a confident expectation of good. And believing that confident expectation of good will come true.

In the past, sometimes I'll mull over this problem in that period of time in life, and when I've decided to trust, this voice would say, "God is a God of hold backs. He's probably relief that you've decided not to pursue your desire so he can relax and not worry about giving you your miracle. " In Jesus name, I bind that voice and all those who have those thoughts in you, I bind those thoughts! It's satan. Pathetic satan. The gossiper. Now my friend, the best thing you could do when satan decided to whisper is to pray in tounges "skhsjfkhawkejrse", or give it to Daddy. Yes. "Daddy, i believe you even though there's this irritating voice in my head. As Jesus is, so am I! Abba, you're the truth! I believe you. "

God is NOT a God of hold backs. He wants to give you your miracle. Yes. He does! He's more then estatic to give you your miracle. So why? Why isn't that miracle happening yet?

Isaiah 40: 31 states it all.
"But they that wait upon [believe and expect]
the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES they shall run,
and not be weary;and they shall walk, and not faint. "

Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.

What are you waiting for? Believe and expect! No, this isn't a step to step guide on how to get your miracle. The miracle is yours already. Believe and expect. AND RECEIVE. Amen? Wouldn't you want that? Believe and expect and receive. You have a storng God. You have a good God. You have a God that will never never ever ever fail you. You have a God who loves you. He knows all your needs. And he's here to fufill them. Believe and expect dear. And receive. He loves you. Daddy loves you. Have faith. You're in good hands.




Okaaay. This wasn't what I'd intended to blog on initially but thanks for the spirit, I'm here. I'll blog on hope in another post. =)) Praise Daddy. He's really good eh? I love you Daddy. You're my everything. =)) *sighs.* Jesus makes my heart melt. =)
