Hope Through the Holy Spirit

Romans 5:5

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.

Expectations and desires are not the issue, it is:

  • What are we desiring and      Expecting?
  • Why do you want it?
  • How did you come by the      expectation and desire?
  • When do you want to have it?

    • Expectation and Desire don't just happen.

    It is either motivated internally or externally.

    Internal: Experience, feelings, emotion, pain, knowledge, pattern and status.

    External: People, events, materials, environment and Physical presence.

    The most variable beyond is world is hope that is either planted by God or the enemy.

    God will plant a hope through the help of the Holy Spirit.

    The enemy will plant hope through lust (eyes, flesh & pride of life).

    The question is which one is life and which one is death?

    Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT

    “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!

    I will choose life because it is will give us abundance on this earth and eternal.

    Holy Spirit will only fulfil hopes that will

    1. Draw you to God.
    2. Love your neighbour.
    3. Fulfil God's purpose.

      4. 2 Corinthians 10:15 NLT

      Nor do we boast and claim credit for the work someone else has done. Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended.
