Did you know to affect a miraculous change in your life, you start out hoping against a hopeless situation ? Hmmm, that sounds like a paradox yet it’s a soberingly truth. God says to go, and you haven’t been able to move for years. God says to speak forth, but you have been plagued with stuttering, or slurred speech. I think about how the Lord spoke to the priests in Joshua’s day to go over the Jordan river, and the river at that time was at flood stage. They were to step forward because their mission was on the other side. As they stepped forward the waters of the Jordan stood up in a heap and they walked across on dry land. I think even before that time, of the children of Israel whom God lead out of Egypt from slavery. They seemingly were hemmed in by the Red Sea. Then Moses cried unto the Lord and the Lord said, “why are you crying out to me, go forward,” in so many words. What appeared to be a simple statement of the Lord, became a hopping against hope situation where their faith was tested by Movement.
Hoping against hope is rarely seen, when the task at hand is in your means. However, take all natural solutions out, then it’s hoping against hope or fear and doubt. Many people are in similar situations today, but just as God kept you in the past, his track record is your hope, just go forward in faith, and the testimony that you receive will set you in a greater place.
Speaking of Abraham:
Romans 4:18-22
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness
