Contrary to hope, in hope -- believe!

I saw this on the Elijah List and thought it was so good. Enjoy!!

Joni Ames:
"Contrary to Hope, IN HOPE--BELIEVE! God is on Your Side and He WILL See You Through"


joni ames"(Abraham) contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, 'So shall your descendants be.'" Romans 4:18

The enemy has launched a new version of an old "terrorist attack" on the Body of Christ in recent time, which contains a spirit of hopelessness for the future. This attack is to try and cause us to believe we don't even have a future. Well, the enemy is a liar. Contrary to whatever the enemy is trying to show you to hope for, believe in the God of all hope, for He is on your side! Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God knows the plans He has for us, to give us hope and a future!

If you are going through a crisis in your life or are just at a crossroads in your faith, you are not alone. Every human being goes through times of anxiety, fear and concern. But don't give up or give in to a spirit of depression or hopelessness. Like Abraham did, "CONTRARY to hope, in hope BELIEVE!"

The Lord is into miracles. Jesus ruined every funeral He came across! So even if you have received a "death sentence" of some sort, know that your hope is in the Lord--the God of all hope! "Now may the God of hope FILL you with all JOY and PEACE in BELIEVING, that you may abound in HOPE, by the power of the Holy Spirit!" (Romans 15:13)
