Perfecting our faith: cultivating biblical hope

Text:Hebrews 6:19 ,2 Peter 2:19, Romans 8:24 , Hebrews 11:1 Bible hope is not a wish which we expect to pass. It is a spiritual seed, a dream, an inner image conceived in the soul of man by the word of God.It is what faith requires to bring the blessings of God into manifestation in the believers life. Meditation by constantly speaking God's word as it relates to the circumstance or situation to yourself, to others and in every situation-calling those things which are not as though they were is one of the ways of cultivating biblical hope. When the word of God enters into your heart, it brings light to the circumstance(2 Peter 1:19)because it enters as light.And As we continue to speak the word of God to ourselves, to others and in every situation, the light gets brighter and brighter. It grows and develops on our inside ultimately giving birth to an inner image of what we are believing to receive from God. First we have a more sure word of prophecy(2 Peter 2:19) and then a more sure and steady hope, the anchor of the soul.( Hebrews 6:19) This was what Abraham, Joshua and Peter did to manifest their destiny in God.Whereas in the past we may have seen ourselves childless like Abraham, lacking money or sick or with one challenge or the other, but once we hear the word of God concerning the situation and receive the seed of the word of God into our hearts by hearing and speaking it continuously to ourselves, to others and in every situation, we begin to see the word inside us as a bright inner image or picture or dream, and then as we declare what we see, we turn our faith loose to produce fruit. Alleluia, glory to God in the highest.
