Take the ROPE...

-

 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13


Have you ever felt despair and at the end of your rope? I have been there, more often times than I care to admit.  But we do not serve a god of despondency.  Life does not go from one pity party after another....holding onto hopelessness is clutching onto ones self and not letting go of that rope.  For that is holding on to insecurities that make us feel sorry for ourselves

No one wants to be around someone who continually feels sorry for themselves and their sore soul life, In fact a heart full of pity will drain another person dry of all energy. Its no wonder in the past people felt repelled to be around me, plus I was a negative Norman to top it off. What are you allowing to fill you up? I would hope that you would be full of the HOLY SPIRIT!!!

Saying all this I want to say that we  do not serve a GOD who feels sorry for our situations that we get ourselves in. He is not a harsh GOD, but I sense that HE sends people our way who do not take no slack. Do not get me wrong, He is a GOD of all hope. But He wants  us to wake up from that pity feast and get on fire for him!!! Do not gieve the HOLY SPIRIT!!!

God is throwing you a rope of hope this day. He wants to get you out of that despair. He wants to see that He is that light at the end of the tunnel. We have got to hold on to that hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.

GOD has more than enough hope for us all...We have got to believe that.

 There is power in believing that GOD can...When we give up hope we are saying that GOD is not able to help us, and any time we feel sorry for ourselves we are playing into the hand of the devil. For satan wants us to be negative and to not give GOD the glory by humbly counting our many blessings.

Father God, please give me hope to believe in YOU, and believe that you have abundant life for me by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Please help me to stop feeling sorry for myself, and to get my eyes totally upon your saving grace to make Jesus not only my Savior but my Lord as well...Forgive my for walking in selfishness. Help me to minister that hope to those around me in Jesus mighty name, AMEN!!!

It’s Already Been Done!!

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

BE SET FREE from NEGATIVITY!!!

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni
