GOD'S WORD GAVE HOPE TO ABRAHAM !

GOD'S WORD GAVE HOPE TO ABRAHAM ! Look at what Abraham did when there was no hope. "As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quicketh the dead, and call those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be." (Romans 4:17-18). Where there was no hope for a 99-year-old man to produce a child, Abraham believed in hope. There are people today who have no hope medically. Doctors have done all they can do. When the doctor says there is no hope, do what Abraham did: go to the word of God and get supernatural hope. He decided to agree with God. That's what I am doing; and many others. When we make a decision to confess the Word of God, over our bodies, over our finances, over our families, over our home's. We are coming over to God's point of view by saying what God declared about us. Some might say, "There is no hope, so you might as well give up." You can always go to the Word of God and get some hope. I don't care if it's physical, financial or spiritual. When your situation seems to be hopeless, Go to the Word of God. God's Word is hope for you as well as me. Hope is a goal setter. You must have a goal. If you don't set any goals, or if you don't know where you are going, then how will you know when you get there ? How long will it take you to get there ? You don't know where you are going, and you don't know how to get there, but a goal gives directions. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. There must be some directions of faith. Some have said, "Well, I'm just waiting on God. I'm believing God." Some of those people have been waiting for years, and they haven't done anything to move God on their behalf. They are not waiting on God --- God has been waiting on them. They have made a decision by doing nothing. When there was no hope, Abraham decided to believe in hope. He Made a Decision to Believe God's Word. That is where his hope came from -- The Word of God. Don't try to use faith where hope should be, and don't try to use hope where faith should be. Hope has no substance. Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for. So there must be faith and hope. They are partners. They go together. Faith is the divine energy of God. Let me see it this way, Now faith is the divine power of God ! It comes by hearing God's Word. It (The Word) is the substance of things desired. You must learn to sow the seed of God's Word with your mouth. Words are seeds. We speak the Word of God --- the promises of God --- into our hearts, and it springs forth and grow up: . . . First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. In (Mark 4:28), it was established by Jesus that the heart was and is the production center. Jesus called it the soil.
