Begin to have Hope

Begin to have Hope


Where do we begin when we have a problem that persists for years? The problem could be a habit, which interferes with our daily lives, it becomes a way of life. The problem may not be something you are doing but a situation that you have a challenge to deal with regularly. The important factor is there is no one to help. You feel trapped and have no HOPE for your future.

Once you feel trapped, where do you go? What is your next step? When we feel trapped, we usually do not see the whole picture and we see only what we want to see. You might feel like you have done nothing wrong, but one the best steps to moving forward, no matter if you have a belief system or association with a religion is prayer. Silent prayer or verbal prayer you have to take the first step.

You need to believe that God’s forgiveness is the greatest GIFT you will ever receive if you will ask for forgiveness. This gift is a gracious offer and we should not neglect it. God is prepared to work in your life the moment once you ask for help.

No matter where you are, how intelligent or educated you are, have an open mind.

     • Do you desire personal change?

     • Do you have a fear of the unknown?

     • Do you feel threatened by others if you obey God?

     • Ask and pray that God will provide the answers for require?



Understanding God First

God provides the light, the ability to see. We live in a society where we have obstacles and people who either lead us in the wrong direction or provide us wrong information. The light provides you the ability to bypass those obstacles and begin to build trust with people all walking the same direction in life. The important factor is to understand God first, by reading the bible with an open mind. God reveals his wisdom through the bible. Know that God offers a salvation and he gives that right to everyone. The same right that everyone can become a child of God. This offer is available to all, no matter what your race, social position, or past.

God desires you to have spiritual rebirth.

         1. Our bodies (Physical)

              • Physical food and water


         2. Our Souls (Spiritual)

            • Spiritual food and water (our scriptures)

Likewise, our soul is seeking spiritual growth. We need to feed both our physical and spiritual needs; we never deprive our physical needs for food so why do we deprive our spiritual needs. God described as the fountain of life and the spring of living water. Thirsting after God is the same as one thirst for water. The Bible will satisfy your hunger and thirsty souls
