When God does a building program; whether it's a temple, whether it's a church, whether it's a family, whether it's an individual life, these are the the principles that are at play. There's a prophetic word, there's the providence of God and there's the provision of God's people!

What word are you trusting in for what God's doing in your marriage? What word are you claiming and praying through for God's work in your kids lives?

What is God laying on heart for your life? What is God laying on your heart for your marriage? What is God laying on your heart for your family? Are you willing to take a risk and step out in faith and trust God?

And for the first time, I found myself not just thinking about what I wanted to do with my life or what my parents wanted to do with my life. Or even how I should fit my new faith in Jesus Christ into what I wanted to do with my life!

Because I know how much God loves me, that energizes me to face whatever I'm facing triumphantly!

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

God wants to fill us with hope! Hope that is certain and sure! An anchor to our soul! A hope that's fixed on Jesus Christ!

The message of the gospel is a message of hope! It's a message that we get to give away to people to add hope to their lives. It's a message we get to emberace ourselves to have hope!

1 John 1: 7-9. "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ, His son, cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!

The spiritual person experiences the ministry of the Holy Spirit guiding him in truth! Jesus said in John 16:13-15, "But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth!"
