HOPE --- A PARTNER TO YOUR FAITH !

HOPE --- A PARTNER TO YOUR FAITH ! 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 hold where faith should be. Hope has no substance. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So there must be faith and hope. Not hope and then faith, for our text; says Now faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). They are partners. They go together. Faith is the divine energy of God. In other words, God's word is the power of those things you hope for. It comes by hearing God's Word. It is the substance of things desired. We must learn to sow The Seed of God's Word. Words are seeds. If you do not like what you are producing in your life, check up on this seed that you are sowing. We speak the Word of God --- or we speak the words of the devil and the world. Remember, "Be not deceived; that God is not morked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7-9). The promise of God --- into your hearts, or the seeds of the world and the devil into your hearts, and it springs forth and grow up: . . . First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (Mark 4:28), it was established by Jesus that the heart was the production center. Jesus called it the soil. REVELATION COMES BY THE SPIRIT ! We talk about the heart being the production center, and Paul the apostle adds some light to this subject in his first letter to the Corinthian church. "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Eye hath not seen, it had not heard. How many times have you heard people quote the Scripture and say, "you never know what God is going to do." But you will know, if you read verse 10, But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. . . He is telling us that these things won't enter into the heart of man through the natural five senses realm. You cannot get revelation knowledge into your spirit through the five physical senses. But God reveals things to us by His Spirit. God's Spirit bear witness with our spirit and reveals by revelation knowledge that we can't get any other way. God will do everything He said He will do. God will do everything He promised. He will do everything you believe Him to do based upon his Word, if your faith is based on His Word. But these things have not entered into the heart of man through the natural eye or the natural ear. The enter into the heart of man by revelation. God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. God did reveal them, but not through the five physical senses. God has an avenue through which he That reveals things and sometimes it bypasses the carnal mind. God reveals things to our spirit by the Holy Spirit. He is our teacher and guide.
