My children, today I want you to see how important it is that you are reflecting hope of Me and that you believe and walk in what you are proclaiming for My kingdom. There is much destruction already taking place and there is much more to come. But My children, you are already complaining where you are at right now and have not stepped into knowing that I am in complete control and that for all situations that there is hope for it to turn out for everyone’s good.

You still lean to your own understanding. If you cannot walk in knowing that there is hope now, how are you going to be able to walk in knowing that there is hope when the tragedies occur and much destruction is happening all around? How are you going to show that in Me there is hope in the gross darkness that is covering the land?

You must begin to walk in the hope that i have given to you and that I have for you. You need to study it, live it, and understand it. It is something that you are going to have to know all about and believe in it to be able to offer it to those who are looking for it. They are going to have to know that without a shadow of doubt that you believe that I am the hope that they seek. That I can and will do all that I said I will do and so much more.

The lost and dying are looking for hope. They are looking for hope that their lives can be more than they are right now. They are looking for hope in the roughest conditions in their lives. They are looking for hope that there is love. They are looking for hope that there is still good. They are looking for hope that there is something better out there. They are looking for Me. They are looking for hope that they will be able to return to me for eternity.

They have this void that they are trying to fill and they are only going to be able to fill it with Me, for it is the separation from me that they are feeling. But they are not going to want Me if you are not showing what I am really all about. They are not going to believe you when you tell them they will find what they are looking for in Me if you cannot believe in what you are saying for yourself.

You must apply your beliefs to your own lives and live them out daily. You must allow the goodness to be shown in your lives. You need to quit walking around in doubt and unbelief. You need to quit walking around defeated. You need to start shining the hope of your maker. You need to show the world what I am about and the things that I can do. Allow me to be number one in your lives again. Show the world who I am. Show them that I am the god who brings you joy. Show them that I am the God of love, compassion, and that there is hope in all things.

As you allow this to truly become a part of your life, how great of a testimony your life becomes for me. This is something you really need to grasp now – for once the fullness of destruction hits it will be too late. If you cannot begin to fully walk into who I am and what i am about now, you will end up in the same boat of those who are hopeless and swallowed in the destruction of souls.

You need to find out exactly who you are in Me and allow me to fully rule and reign in your life. Either you believe what I have told you and what I am about, or you don’t. Your life needs to shine for Me. This is critical for your life in Me. Get your hope back in Me and your confidence in Me that I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I am your Father. You need to get your confidence back in Me knowing that I will not turn my back on you and that I am supplying all your needs as you allow Me to.

Shine for Me today. Shine to the world a reflection of who I am and what I am about. Let the world see what you really believe and let it become a part of your life that you walk in. Shine to the world that I am the hope that they seek. Shine to the world that I have all that they are looking for and that I am all they need. Let this become rooted and grounded in you this day and allow it to change your life. Let me become the reality of hope in your life and no longer allow the situations and circumstances rule your life and cause you to walk in fear, doubt, unbelief, and defeat. Walk in freedom of this today. Allow this hope to spring back up in you and fully walk in it today.
Psalm 39:7 (NIV)

7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

1 Peter 1:3 (NIV)

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Romans 5:2-5 (NIV)

2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV)

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Romans 8:24-25 (NIV)

24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Luke 8:39 (NIV)

39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

Psalm 71:15-18 (NIV)

15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.

Titus 3:3-7 (NIV)

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
