Power to Succeed Pt.6

Faith makes the impossible possible. But without hope, you won’t have faith. We began this series with the reminder that every challenge is an opportunity. God backs up His promise with the confirmation that this hope (faith) will not let you down or embarrass you. We found in Romans 8:31, 32 that God is on our side. With that declaration, we know that God has already given us His best when we were born again. At day one of salvation, we started out with the highest gift of all! The first thing we established in hope is that you can see the promise of God. You have a different set of vision receptors that operate through the spirit. Spiritually, you can do all sorts of things that your body can’t do. The second thing we found out about is hope is that it gives us the endurance to make it. Failure is not an option. The enemy can’t defeat you; he just seduces you to throw in the towel. Hope manifests itself as zeal. Nothing by any means can stop you. Everything meant to take you out will work for you.

For the first part of this series we talked about the premise of hope. Now we’ll switch gears to learn how this hope will allow you to succeed, hear, obey, pray, give, and praise like you’ve never done before!

Our new foundation Scriptures:
Psalm 146:5 –“Happy” is not an emotional state in this text. The “God of Jacob” term calls upon God’s character, a covenant term defining God as helper and our expectation.
Hebrews 10:23 – grab on and don’t let go! You do not receive back what you sow. Expect a bountiful return.

1. Hope in God allows you to hear the Word like never before. The reason this is so important is because everything God has ever done started with hearing the Word. We live by every single Word of God. Too many Christians live by their favorite words of God. The worst case is that people have some of the Word and go without the rest of it. It’s better that to have heard all or none of the Word.

Romans 10:17 – Everything you believe you first heard. Faith in God won’t come by reading, praying, fasting, or by someone laying hands on you. Faith comes by hearing. You feed your face on the daily; feed your faith!
1 John 5:4 – Faith can only bring to pass what you hope (expect) for.

2. Now you know why you must treasure (prize) hearing God’s Word.
Luke 10:38-42

You must exert energy to hear the Word. You’ve got to tune out all the distractions around you. You’d arrange your whole life around getting the Word. Luke 5:5.

You must protect God’s Word you hear. Mark 4:15.

You must honor the one who delivers the Word to you.
