Have Hope

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1

Our opening scripture reveals faith is dependent on hope because faith is the substance of things hoped for.

What is hope? Hope is a clear and compelling picture of the future. It is a positive mental image of a preferable future. So your faith will not work until you have hope. 

Do you have a clear expectation of the future? Without a clear and compelling picture and expectation concerning your future, you will be a drifter in life.

When you study the Bible in Genesis chapter 15, you will see how God gave Abraham hope that birthed faith which led to the fulfilment of God's Word in his life. Your faith will not work until you see a positive future. Faith requires a clear mental image of what you want out of life.

What are you seeing concerning your future? Do you see a positive future? If you don't, your faith will not work. In Genesis 15:2-6, Abram as he was known before God changed his name could not see himself having a child until God gave him hope through his Word and also changed his inner picture, “Then he took him outside and said, "Look at the sky. Count the stars. Can you do it? Count your descendants! You're going to have a big family, Abram!" And he believed! Believed God! God declared him "Set-Right-with-God."
Genesis 15:5-6 (MSG).

Notice that Abram found it easier to believe God and have faith when he could see within himself the future God had for him. What is the imagination you are carrying in your heart? Have you imagined what your future will be like? Have you imagined what your marriage and business will be like? Until you change the inner picture of your future and have hope, faith has nothing to give substance to.

Confession.
