The Ministry of Hope Ps 62:5 My soul, wait only upon God {and} silently submit to Him; for my hope {and} expectation are from Him. Ps 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me {and} be disquieted within me? Hope in God {and} wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God. Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the godless {and} polluted, even though he has gained [in this world], when God cuts him off {and} takes away his life? Ps 38:15 For in You, O Lord, do I hope; You will answer, O Lord my God. Ps 39:7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for {and} expect? My hope {and} expectation are in You. Ps 27:14 Wait {and} hope for {and} expect the Lord; be brave {and} of good courage and let your heart be stout {and} enduring. Yes, wait for {and} hope for {and} expect the Lord. Ps 125:1 THOSE WHO trust in, lean on, {and} confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides {and} stands fast forever. Ps 130:5 I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope. Rom 5:2 Through Him [Jesus Christ] also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice {and} exult in our hope of experiencing {and} enjoying the glory of God. Rom 5:5 Such hope never disappoints {or} deludes {or} shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. Rom 8:24 For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees? Rom 8:25 But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience {and} composure. Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts {and} plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts {and} plans for welfare {and} peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Rom 15:13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound {and} be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

ON THREE QUESTIONS ANYONE WANTS AN ANSWER, SOMETIME IN HIS OR HER LIFE

WHY I'M HERE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE IF MY EXISTENCE
WHERE DO I COME FROM, WHO OR WHAT GAVE ME LIFE
WHERE I'M GOING, WHAT WILL BE THE END OF MY EXISTENCE

FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS DIRECT US TO OUR DESTINY

Dear Friend, maybe the foregoing passage about faith and the Word of God is new to you, let me explain a couple of things before we go on:

Feelings and thoughts are the things that direct us to our destiny.
As you know there is Good and Evil in this World and we are part of it, all the good and the evil exists through people like you and me.

It is up to us, what is going to happen, we are responsible.
But both are present in us, and both desire to have the best of us.
I mean this;
I like to be loved by others, I like to do good to others, I want other people to talk well of me, I like to make them smile and to love them.

On the other hand I don't take the blame, I defend myself, I protect myself, I sacrifice others that I may gain and get back to those that hurt me,or talk bad of me, take from me, I seek revenge for al the wrong men shall do to me, in order to stay on top and to make it in this World .

All people try to survive, protect themselves, this causes the struggles we are in.

THE QUESTION IS CAN I WIN !

The question is can I win?, and if I win what have I gained.

The Apostle Paul wrote this predicament about himself and I may say, that this situation is relevant for all of us.
Rom 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]
Rom 7:19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.
Rom 7:21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right {and} good, evil is ever present with me {and} I am subject to its insistent demands.

Paul says here that he is not in control to do good, but that evil puts its demands on him.
Though he wants to good, it is the evil he eventually has to do to.

Other powers are at work in us.
We think that our struggle is against people, but the Bible shows clearly that, it is not true.
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual {forces} of wickedness in the heavenly {places.}

So what is the solution, Paul again writes this;
Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind amserving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Through Jesus I am able to do good, to serve the Lord, why?, because evil will lead me to eternal death, I may gain the whole world, but I will lose my soul.
In Jesus I will find eternal life and the power over evil.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

I CANNOT SAVE MYSELF

This is the reason that I cannot do it on my own, God cannot save me because the good in me is insufficient.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Evil is called sin in the Bible and robs us from all the good we try to do, WE DO ALL HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE AND THE WAGES ARE DEATH;
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is the reason for my story to you.

We all need someone stronger than darkness, and that person is Jesus, He is the one that defeated evil, never sinned and took all the blame and punnishment that was due to us, so we might get free and live a good life with good deeds and receive eternal life.

If the foregoing passage has touched your heart, And you've got the desire to have a relationship with God, to know Him as your best friend and Savior, and you are not sure how to take the next step? Then I'd like to invite you, to take that next step with me, by praying the following words to God.

Please pray with me aloud!

Dear Lord, I desire to have a relationship with You, I understand that You have died on the Cross for my sins, I ask You to forgive my sins and to become my Lord, Savior and Friend. Lord I'll turn from the way I've been living and turn from my sins, it is my desire to follow You from now on. I confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that God raised Him from the dead. Because I confess this with my mouth and I belief it in my heart, I now have become, a child of God!

The bible declares in;
Rom 10:9 Because if you acknowledge {and} confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) {and} confirms [his] salvation.

If you prayed this prayer, and you were honest and sincere, then you may say
"I have become a child of the living GOD ! !"

Be sure to tell someone and to go to church next Sunday.!

Do You know, that everybody needs somebody, someone he can trust with his life, someone who will put his arm around you, someone who will be there for you, always. Such a person doesn't exist here on earth, we all have to let go of people at some point, either for our own protection, or because we are not capable in spite of our efforts. But with God it isn't like that, He is, and will be there for you always. The Bible contains many, beautiful promises and when you became a child of God by receiving Him as your Lord and Savior, you also have gotten the right to stand on these promises for yourself. When Jesus became our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit came to live with us the Bible calls Him also "the Comforter", He is the Spirit of God and lives within us, He encourages, comforts and strengthens.

JESUS INVITES EVERYONE TO COME TO HIM,
HE SAID THAT IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME HE IN NO WAY WILL CAST HIM OUT.
