Hello hope-filled ones!

God has put promises in every one of our hearts, but so often, because it is taking so long, or because we have tried and failed, we end up not pursuing what God has put in our hearts.

I want to encourage you today to get your fire back ~ You have to STAY FILLED WITH HOPE AND EXPECTATION. It may be taking a long time, but God is a faithful God. So, no matter how long it has been and no matter how impossible the situation looks, if you will STAY FILLED WITH HOPE, your time is coming!

Remember this: God has put every promise in your heart and it is His intention to bring them to pass.

Our hope in Him and His Word means that we continue to believe that the promise God has put in our hearts WILL come to pass. Romans 11:29 says,

God’s gifts and His call can never be withdrawn.

Another great Scripture you can have hope in is from Job 42:2. It says,

I know that You can do all things; no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. 

I love what Acts 2:26 from the New Living Translation says,

I have pitched my tent in the land of hope.

Let me ask you, “Where have you pitched your tent?” “What are you expecting each day?” “What kind of attitude do you have?” I exhort you to move into a land of HOPE, a land of faith, and a land where anything is possible!

God knows exactly where you are ~ He knows even the “hidden dreams” He has put in you.  The Scripture calls them, “The secret petitions of our heart” (Psalm 37:4). Those are the things you have not told anybody about. Maybe you thought they would never work out, or you buried them because they did not happen on your time-table, but God still has a way to bring them to pass.

You need to draw the line in the sand and say, “That’s it! I am done being complacent. I am done settling for mediocrity. I am going to believe that every dream, every promise, even the secret petitions of my heart are going to come to fulfillment.

When you have this attitude, all the forces of darkness cannot stop God from bringing them to pass.

So, I encourage you to stay in an attitude of faith, an attitude of expectancy, and an attitude of HOPE. Galatians 6:9 declares, 

Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

God will bring justice into your life.

Staying filled with hope,

Lisa Gordon🙌🏻
