- The goal of your enemy, Satan, is to steal your hope.
- If He can steal your hope, then you lose your purpose and you lose your joy.
- without hope, you don’t live.
- Your enemy will place feelings and thoughts of doubt, fear, emptiness and hopelessness in your mind.
- He will tell you all the reasons why you need to quit living this Christian life.
- He will condemn you and accuse you.
- He will point out all of your failures and mistakes.
- But, one word from the Lord can change everything!
- The psalmist is saying that “your word is my source of Hope”
- Remember this, Never Get To Far From The Source!
- If I get to far from the source of light, then I am in darkness.
- If I get to far from the source of water, then I am thirsty.
- If you get to far removed from the source of His Word, you will begin to doubt and feel hopeless.
- But the moment you return to His Word, hope will begin to spring up in your life!
- in Gen. 1:3 "God said, 'Let there be light,'and there was light."
- He can create something out of nothing.
- The Source brought about Hope!
- Light appeared in darkness…That’s Hope!
- in Gen.1: 1 "God created"
- The word "Created" is a Hebrew word, "bara". It is used exclusively as an activity that only God can do.
- At a specific moment God called into existence matter and substance that had no prior existence.
- The method God used in creation was the power of His Word!
- over and over again it says "and God said..." in Genesis.
- God spoke and it happened.
- And over and over again bringing something into existence that had no prior existence!
- Nothing is impossible with God.
- Do you have a problem in your life that only God can fix?
- Do you have a relationship problem that needs restoration?
- Do you have a physical or emotional problem?
- Get into God’s Word this morning.
- And, as you get into His Word, ask Him to give you a “Word” from His “Word"
- He wants to speak Hope to what you think is hopeless.
- He wants to speak life to the dead areas of your life.
- His Word can silence the voice of the enemy.
- Voices of doubt, discouragement and lack will be replaced with Faith, Hope and abundance.
- Read His Word, rely on His word and trust in His word.
- Let Him be your source this morning!
- Have a great Weekend!
