KEY SCRIPTURE: Rom 15:4 AMP “…whatever. Was written in former days was, written for our instruction that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to cherish hope”
There is no hopeless situation with God. Christians deny the word of God if we believe that any situation is hopeless. There is no place in the word of God where we are told that anything is hopeless. God never looks at anything as hopeless. His power and might are far beyond the limitation of our human comprehension. If we think something is hopeless, we are identifying more with the seemingly hopeless circumstances we face. Since we are with the tremendous power of the Almighty God, there is nothing called hopeless.
God knows that we would need hope in these last days before Jesus returns. Thousands of years ago He anointed forty human authors to write sixty-six books of the Bible. …. “…Whatever was written in former days were written for our instruction and that by our (steadfast and patient) endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope (Rom 15:4 AMP) .
This passage tells us that God has given us His anointed Holy Bible for our instruction.
Our Father wants us to learn continually from His supernatural word so that we would have steadfast and patient endurance so that we can hold fast to cherish hope. Our Father wants us to receive encouragement drawn from the Scriptures.
Our Scripture above explains the relationship between hope and receiving continual encouragement from the word of God.
We must renew our minds in the word of God each day, so that we would not give up hope. We are instructed to hold fast to hope. Our heavenly father has given us….. Mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold the hope appointed for us and set before us (Hebrews 6:18 AMP).
Our hope is Jesus. Our father has provided all of the strength within us that we will need to face whatever crisis may bring. (Phil 4:13, 2nd Corinth 12:9-10) Once again we are told that our father has given us strong encouragement so that we can hold fast to hope. We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul (it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whenever steps out upon it) – a hope that reaches further and enters into the very certainty of the presence within the veil (Hebrews 6:19 AMP) .
Jesus in the presence of the Father is the anchor of our soul.
CONFESSION
There is no hopeless situation with my father, there is therefore no hopeless situation with me. I renew my mind daily with the scriptures and I am strengthened to face the future with hope.
THOUGHT: KEEP YOUR MIND RENEWED BY THE WORD, TO KEEP YOUR HOPE CONSTANTLY REFRESHED
