KEY SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 6:19 “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil”;
The songwriter asked, “Will your anchor hold in the storms of life”. Please answer yes, my anchor will hold because my hope remains in the Lord Jesus! Scriptural hope is a supernatural anchor. An Anchor is something that holds a boat in place. Hope can and will hold our souls in place when we are in the midst of the storms of life. We must not give up hope no matter what we face. We can keep our hopes up by renewing our minds in the word of God.
Hopeless people do not protect their minds. They allow circumstances and the thoughts that Satan’s demons attempt to put into their minds to dominate their thinking. Hope cannot prevail if our minds are filled with negative thoughts based on the circumstances we face and the continual Satan’s demonic’ suggestions.
We must protect our minds when we face difficult problems. (REMEMBER THERE IS AN EVIL DAY FOR EVERYONE, Eph. 6:13). Our minds will be filled with the word of God if we faithfully obey our Father’s instruction to renew our minds in the word every day. When you feed your mind with the supernatural word of God, those seemingly hopeless situations won’t dominate you.
We must learn how to renew our minds in the word of God so we can get the promises of scripture out from the printed pages into our minds. We must also learn how to move the word from our minds into our hearts.
NB: We think with our minds, we believe with our hearts (Rom 10:10).
Both hope and faith are essential to trusting God. We will fail if we attempt to trust God only with the hope that is in our minds. We would also fail if we attempt to trust God only with the faith in our hearts. Hope and faith work together. Hope in our minds sets the goal and faith in our hearts gets something to bring into manifestation.
CONFESSION
I am transformed by renewing my mind. I overcome every seemingly dangerous situation because my hope in the Lord is ever alive. The lies of the devil have no place in me. This keeps me winning with a very strong faith. Faith is strong when hope is strong p
THOUGHT: HOPE SAYS IT IS POSSIBLE, WHILE FAITH SAYS I HAVE TAKEN A HOLD OF IT.
