A Hope that doesn't Disappoint

"And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. He gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us." Romans 5:5

Life will throw many curve balls but we still have a hope in God that will enable us to overcome. Our testing and trials will only draw us closer and make us stronger in the Lord. There is power in hoping in God, he holds our tomorrows and give us strength to endure. Nothing can prepare us for loss, tragedy or trauma that occurs suddenly in our lives, but God is faithful in providing his Holy Spirit to help us get through our most difficult times. So, when you feel like you can't make it another day, remember the LOVE God has for you and the friend, comforter and counsel of the Holy Spirit.

The scripture tells us that God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. Some hearts might be broken and shattered due to disappointments but he comes to mend, heal and fill our hearts with his love. You are not alone, God is with you. You are not forgotten, he knows your name. Though the storm clouds may hover, the blessing of the Lord is still upon your life. Hope in God! God doesn't change, if he delivered you before he will do it again. If he healed you before he will do it again. Your deliverance and healing might not be the way you imagined but know that his will is perfect.

When we hope in God, we are reminding him how much we depend on his word and trust his direction for our lives. So when you can't see your way, ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you in the way that you should go.

Bruised

Scripture Reflection: Isaiah 53:10-12

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Our Father in heaven had a great and flawless plan to redeem humanity by offering his only Son. The perfect Lamb of God. His bruising was for our healing, deliverance and victory over death, hell and the grave. Most of all, it allowed for us to enter into a intimate relationship with our Father. There is no greater love, than the love of God. He saw our need for salvation and sent Jesus to fulfill his plan. Despite what he had to endure, it pleased God to allow the bruising and the grief. His plan was to save his creation and only Jesus could have redeemed us; no one was worthy to fulfill this assignment.

Jesus willingness to bear our iniquities, sin and shame shows his passion of pursuit to save all that were lost in their trespasses and sins. He alone could break the chains of bondage and set the captives free. The scripture says that he poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with transgressors, but it was all to establish a bridge of intercession and reconnect us to our heavenly Father.

As you reflect on Jesus and his sacrifice may you be reminded of his great love for you today.

Who can reverse the Word of the Lord?

"Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of my hand; I work, and who will reverse it? Isaiah 43:13

Today's scripture speaks of God's powerful word and work. We are reminded that our heavenly Father is sovereign and mighty to save. He is the great I AM who is upholding and keeping us according to His word and ability. With that in mind, we can rest in knowing that he will do what he promised.

His promises are not empty. He is never slack concerning his word and he always show up on time. We are his witnesses, we can survey our own lives and can pinpoint the acts of God. Even history shows us his mighty acts and his words coming to pass. He consistently works things out for our good and nothing can stand in his way. When God begins to work, no devil in hell dare oppose or can hinder his plans considering our life, family, businesses, churches or communities. We might experience the diverse testing of our faith in those areas but it is only to produce perseverance. Our process is meant to build us and prepare us to withstand any wiles of the enemy.

Imagine with me for a minute, God in all of his might and glory. Who can reverse his work? Who can contend with his power? Who is able to supered his plans? Absoultely no one or nothing! So, think about it, can your heart comprehend the awesome God that fights for us? Have you considered the God that is always in your corner? Did it hit your spirit to fathom that if God has decree and declare a thing, it shall come to pass in your life?

The reality is this, we serve a God that still speaks to us everyday through his word, servants, prophets, leaders and even the enemy reminds us that he is still God. At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. The knees of our enemy must bow to God. So, if they can recognize that God is sovereign and nothing is above him, how much more the redeemed?

When God speaks everything must come into alignment. There is nothing that the enemy can do to reverse his spoken word over your life. Take sixty seconds to soak that in! God's word can not be challenged by the enemy, he will always lose. We are not wrestling with a victor but a defeated foe. Do not let the enemy fool you or talk you out of your promise; whatever promise you are holding on to and believing God for. He is the father of lies and the master of deception. Nothing that he offers is real but death through sin.

The Spirit of the living God wants to encourage you today, cling to every prophetic word that the Lord has rested upon your life. Trust God. Hope in God and pull on his word by faith. God has already made a way for you before the foundations of the world, trust that he has already paved a path that you can walk on. A path of breakthrough, victory, and new life.

God's hand is upon his people! Take rest in knowing that his purpose can not be disannulled or overturned. He is all powerful and nothing can reverse the power of his word.

The beautiful thing about all of this is... our fate is sealed. Our God made spiritual provision through Jesus Christ so we can experience his love and faithfulness. We worship him

because there is nobody like him. We love him because he first loved us and we honor him because he honor his word above his name. Step out of doubt and into your faith today. Let the word and the promises of God uphold you and pull you up in your time of weariness.
