What Is Your Hope Level

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

Romans 15:13, The Amplified Bible

 

Would you like to be…running over with hope?  I Hope so! I want to dare you to throw your whole life and everything you have into building a dream that comes from the heart of God. I want you to get out there so far that without God’s help, you can’t get back.

Many people don’t think that way though because they’re afraid to fail. Fear of failure is dangerous. If you let it dominate you, it will cause you to do the one thing that inevitably guarantees failure and that’s not attempting at all.

How do you counteract the fear of failure?

You increase your hope level. You get alone with God and listen to Him. You meditate on His promises until the picture is so clear on the inside of you that nothing can jar it out of you.

If you’re lying on a sickbed and the doctor has given you a bad report, instead of wallowing around in that bad report, you start dreaming. You start building a dream of your healing.

If you are struggling with financial lack, take action by visualizing your coming abundance.

Go to the Word that promises that those who wait upon the Lord shall run and walk and not faint or be weary. Look at it until you see nothing else. Picture yourself walking for miles and running from one place to the next, telling everyone that Jesus has raised you up and made you whole and supplied all your needs.

That’s what hope is all about. It’s a divine dream. It’s an inner image that’s bigger than you are because it’s built on the promises of God.

If you’re a Christian, you ought to be a dreamer. Take the Word of God and build some dreams today.
