introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we
stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying
the glory of God. Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] Let us exult and
triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure
and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And
endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried
integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and

shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy

#37 For whatever things were written before were

#58 Hope is desire, but notice that the desire is
accompanied by expectation. It means I am expecting something to happen.
#59 Often things never arrive because you have no
expectation of it showing up.
#60 You must have anticipation that what you are
hoping for, that hope will bring it to the door.
#61 Hope is defined in the Webster’s Dictionary as
“a feeling that what is wanted is likely to happen”.
#62 Hope brings security. If you are looking for
security, you will not find it in manmade things. It is found in trust in God.
#63 Hope in God never deceives us or misleads us.
Hope in God never tricks us. Hope in God and His Word never frustrates us.
#64 If you are frustrated it’s because you have put
your hope in something other than God. Hope in God never disappoints.
#65 When we are in pain, we tend to let go of the
anchor of hope, but you must hold on to it.

#68 The world will fool you, mislead you and
disappoint you. But the kingdom of God won’t do that because it can only
operate in truth.
#69 God gave Abraham a promise—I have made you a
father of many nations. God quickens the dead. God made a promise pertaining to
something that was dead and He called those things that be not as though they
were. Abraham hoped in something in which there was no hope in the natural. It
was beyond natural laws. What you’re dealing with may seem impossible and you
can’t see how it’s going to happen. You can start calling those things which be
not as though it were. As long as there is a residue of hope, the thing or
situation can live again.
#70 What has God promised you that seems hopeless?
God’s Word for you is that He can turn everything around. You must believe.
#71 Abraham was hoping in the unseen realm like it
was the seen. Our hope in the unseen will bring what we are hoping for into the
seen realm.
#72 Often hope is deferred because we are wavering,
doubting and questioning if God can do it and we stop waiting on God and try to
help God.
#73 God does not need our help. Our role is to
praise Him. This displays confidence and firm relying trust with expectation.
#74 You have a right to your harvest. The enemy
uses your past to discourage you and condemn you, but God is not looking at
that. God is looking at your hope and faith. If you are hoping for something,
you have a Blood-bought right to expect it to manifest.
#75 God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
Him. The moment you come to Him in faith and hope, you are pleasing God.
#76 In your waiting season you cannot become
anxious and move ahead of God. It takes time to get what you’re hoping for into
the earthly realm.
#77 While we are waiting, God is working. Wait in
hope, confidence and expectation.
#78 Genuine hope is not wishful thinking, but
affirmed assurance about things that are unseen and still in the future.
#79 Hope does not arise from the individual’s
desires or wishes, but from God, who is Himself the believer’s hope.
#80 Hope sets the goal. Faith obtains it.
#81 God’s hope is in you waiting, that when He
shows up, you are where you are supposed to be. A lot of our hope has been
deferred because we moved out of the place where we were supposed to be.
#82 Hope brings with it all joy and peace. When the
manifestation of what we’re hoping for comes, it is a tree of life.
#83 Romans 5:13, in the Amplified version, talks
about overflowing and bubbling over with hope.
#84 Expectation must accompany hope. Expectation is
looking forward to something. It is anticipation.
#85 Expectation is looking for what is due, proper
or necessary. It is prospect of the future, of advancement and blessing.
#86 You must always release your faith with hope
accompanied by expectation.
#87 When you operate in faith you have to hope for
whatever you’re believing for. Believing is not enough. When you believe, you
have to hope for what you believe. On the other end of your hope, there has to
be great expectation that will bring you to some good.
#88 How do you release God’s faith, have hope and
expectation so you can get the advancement and receive the good for your life?
By speaking and declaring the Word of God. You are to say what God said and
wait to see what God said, with expectation.
#89 In the Law of First Mention, we see God first
speaking, releasing His faith with hope accompanied with expectation in
Genesis.
#90 The fact that you spoke the promise with faith,
hope, accompanied with expectation, surely it’s going to come to pass.
#91 We have an anchor (hope) for our soul that
gives us constant cheerful, confident, expectation that God’s goodness is ours.
#92 The anchor of the soul (hope) holds us steady
while we wait on God’s provision to show up in our lives.
#93 The storms of life come to all of us but God
has given us an anchor (hope) that reaches into the very presence of God.
#94 Hope is as supernatural as faith and love are.
#95 Hope is a force that keeps you holding on until
the answer comes. Hope and patience work together.
#96 Hope and faith differ, in that faith changes
things. Hope’s job is to keep you moving forward until the manifestation comes.
#97 Hope
is focused on the future, whereas faith is right now.
#98 Faith in the Word of God will always give you
hope for the future.
#99 Grace will never show up without hope.
#100 Romans 12:12 in the Message Bible says that
hope is “cheerfully expectant.” The KJV says “rejoicing in hope”. The Amplified
says “rejoice and exult in hope.” The Living Bible says “Be glad for all God is
planning for you.” The NLT says “rejoice in our confident hope.” The NIV says
“joyful in hope.”
#101 Hope is more than desiring for something to
happen, or knowing that what you would like to receive is a possibility.
According to the Greek definition of hope, hope is confident expectation that
what you would like to see happen will come to pass, and while you are waiting,
to be joyful knowing that you will receive from God what you have asked for.
#102 The spirit of faith never says “it is coming.”
It always says “it’s here and I have it now.” If it is here, I begin to make
preparation for what’s here like it is here.
#103 It will take more than just hope alone for a
promise from God to come to pass. Hope is just a part of it. It’s going to take
faith and confident expectation working together to see the manifestation of
what you are believing for. It’s also going to involve “speaking” the promise.
#104 Hebrews 6:19 says that hope is an anchor to
the soul. When the storms come and the winds blow, hope will keep us firmly
secured so that we are not tossed to and fro.
#105 The expression “Valley of Achor” became
proverbial for that which caused trouble. That which has been a source of
calamity will become a source of blessing. The Valley of Achor (trouble) will
be for a door of hope.
#106 Hope sees the future as better and brighter.
When you have hope you believe things will change, renew and improve. Casey
Treat
#107 You can’t have faith unless you first have
hope.
#108 God wants us to be so full of hope, so full of
expectancy, that we just can’t help believing for the best. Joel Osteen
#109 Hope is a trusting expectation that God is
going to keep His Word.
#110 Hope is another stream in the fountain of joy.
It is a product of the Word of God, which is revealed by the Holy Spirit. It
stabilizes the heart and imparts joy in the inner man. David Oyedepo
#111 You can’t be hopeful without being joyful. You
are only downcast when you become hopeless. David Oyedepo
#112 Hope is the mother of faith. If there is no
hope, then there is nothing faith can substantiate, because faith is the
substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). David Oyedepo
#113 You are born into a kingdom of hope, you can’t
afford to live a hopeless life. God has guaranteed you a colorful future, but
He has left you with the responsibility of dancing your way into it. David
Oyedepo
#114 Most believers don't pay much attention to
hope. They don't think of it as very important. They certainly don't consider
it to be as important as faith. But the fact is, faith won't function without
hope. That's because “faith is the substance of things hoped for” (Hebrews
11:1). Sometimes I say it this way, “Hope is the blueprint of faith.” Kenneth
Copeland
#115 When hope is lost, faith loses its aim. It no
longer has a mission to accomplish. It just scatters uselessly in every
direction. Kenneth Copeland
#116 Hope is a vital link to workable faith. I mix
faith with hope. If you have no hope, faith alone will not produce results.
Faith gives substance to hope. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Hope
is the climate in which faith works. John Osteen
#117 Faith is the substance of things hoped for...
You hope for that promise to be true for you. We all hope for the
promises of the Word of God to become true in our personal life, such as
healing, financial prosperity and spiritual gifts. But hope will not bring the
promise into manifestation. Yet hope is needful. For without hope you won't
have anything for faith to give substance to. Charles Capps
#118 People come to be prayed for hoping to
be healed. But hope will not heal them, because there is no substance of
healing in hope. Yet, if they didn't have hope, they wouldn't come. Many lose
hope, then they have nothing for faith to give substance to. They give up too
quickly. Charles Capps
#119 Faith is substance. Hope is a goal setter.

#136 Where there is no hope, there is no vision.
Where there is no vision, the people perish. Bishop Christopher C. Smith
#137 Hope has the power to anchor your soul. It’s
through the mind (soul) that men lose hope, focus and aim, and then quit. The
mind is the battlefield. The heart believes what the soul perceives. Bishop
Christopher C. Smith

One who made the promise. Bishop Christopher C. Smith
#161 When God spoke, Abraham believed God. And it
was accounted to him as righteousness. Against all hope, Abraham in hope
believed. He held onto his confession. Abraham didn’t deny the facts. Real
Bible faith never denies the facts. But the truth says that by His stripes I am
healed, and that the Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not lack. Bishop
Christopher C. Smith
#162 Abraham considered not the facts. Hope only
considers the Word. Romans 4:19 says that his faith was so strong, it could not
be undermined by the facts. Hope needs faith and faith needs hope. Your hope
and faith will trump the facts. God will bring the very thing He promised you
into your life. Bishop Christopher C. Smith

possession. Bishop Christopher C. Smith

It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
