Working out our salvation isn't about God changing us, it is God restoring us to the original model. It is Him lavishing on our lives all the benefits of 'zoe zoe' life (Hebrew word for salvation). It is working in relationship with God to obtain these benefits that Jesus purchased for us at the cross.

God's mind is big and behaviour never lies. We all carry our own tent. The tent of our own thinking, which is far smaller than God's view of things. He wants us to step out of the tent and look to the heavens and begin to live the rich full life He intended for all of us.

God made you to be you. He wants you to be yourself for God love who you are. You do not need to try and be like any other.

What motivates people to do the things they do? A God given Holy Discontent! The deep in God crys out to the deep in you.

We are living in the last moments of the last days so our hope in God needs to be established and absolutley made sure. People are going to be looking to us for hope, strength and guidance. The very peace we walk in will be a strong witness to the victory of Jesus.

God needs to be the centre of our hope. What sort of benefits do you get out of having hope in God? What should you get out of having hope in God? What is our hope in God and how does that maintain our course and stop us from drifting, being sand banked or bashed up on the rocks.

God uses your gift, your tithe, your offering as a prophetic measure, prophetic sign that God's plans to bless you will stand. Invest in the kingdom, buy into reaching the lost - buy up opportunity!

The hope that we have as Christians is for an optimistic outcome. Our hope in God is a sure anchor against the various trials life has to offer.

The helmet of salvation is hope. Hope in our mighty God causes us to look forward and look up. It goes above every circumstance so we can see God.

Trust is a relative of hope. Put your hope and trust in the creator. His unfailing love is sufficient for and superior to death and famine. As you place your hope in God he wil be your help and shield.
