“There is a divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!”
Christ is the hope and glory. It is easy to be distracted from that hope into a cycle of feeling hopeless.
We are bid to look up and not to the right and left, to keep our focus on Christ.
The culture in the Kingdom is that He is the solution. There is power in His name. Everything that He has purposed shall go forth.
Christ is our treasure chest of hope. There is nothing in the world at this moment that is of surprise to Christ. He is not shocked. He has the answer.
Therefore there is no distraction of despair in us. The world is looking for that sign and reassurance.
“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
Therefore we partner with He who is already within us to release hope in both substance and action. Anticipation is a priority in our expectations.
Faith without action is empty. Faith is the vehicle that moves the atmosphere and the outcome. Hope is the fuel that propels it.
“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.”
God is no respecter of person. If one can do it we all can. The barrage of the lack of hope must be broken off.
The role model was all identified in the first few lines of His word. God reveals Himself as creator.
God ( who is Spirit ) brooded and hovered until the word is spoken to bring creation into being. Light, enlightenment, dispels the darkness and He manifests or cancels all other decrees.
So it is in heaven so let it be on earth.
“So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples. And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].”
We have to know God’s word. The truth enlightens and sets us free.
Hopelessness immobilises us.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”
There is the power of life and death in our tongue.
The Holy Spirit is not earned it is a gift for us all. God will prevail and His glory also.
“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
The illustration shows what is seen and heard in the spirit being spoken out and the power of the tongue bringing hope, expectation and light emanating to push back the darkness.
