Side Note: I only chose that title to draw people in. Stay with me and you will see. :)
Are you that person who has been through so much in your life that you don't see how you can ever be happy?
Do you feel like there is so much going on in your life right now that God seems so far away from your cries?
Before you read any further please grab ahold of this sentence right here.
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.
It doesn't always feel like it especially when you are in the darkness of the pit. Sometimes you even feel all "cried out," so you just quietly go with the defeat of hopelessness.
There is nothing more the enemy likes to steal more than your inner joy and your mind. But JESUS came here and died to show you and me that the enemy has been defeated-NOT you! You are more than a conqueror! You just can't see it right now because your faith light is barely flickering...and rightly so.
Let not your heart be troubled...even if it is. Give it over to HIM.
Let's see how much of a conqueror you really are even if you feel so week and distraught right now...
POWERFUL. I don't know about yall but I'm getting excited writing this! Do you see in the Word where every circumstance and situation is covered.
Nothing shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Soooo powerful. Every circumstance, every past, every shame, every healing, every mountain, every fire..none of it is a match for the love GOD has for YOU!
No matter how quiet GOD is in your situation, HE is working it out for your good. No matter how much you messed up...it's never going to separate HIS love for you. You have strength though JESUS Christ. When you are weak, HE is strong. When you fear, GOD constantly tells us all throughout Scriptures to Fear Not-(365 Times). If it doesn't look like it's going to work out, GOD has a plan for your life.
Don't LOSE HOPE. I'm going to show you now how to grab on to some hope in the Action Steps tonight.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Ask.God to show you when HE's speaking Hope to you. HE is always surrounding you with some, but we just can't see it sometimes. Whenever you are flipping through the stations and you "happen" to see an interview, song, or station full of hope...that's for you. Whenever you turn on the radio in the car, and the very first song makes you smile or sing...that's for you. Whenever someone calls and offers to take you and pay for your meal, that's for you. The sun shining brightly on your face-resting on you when the other areas you are standing/sitting in is cloudy. When you see stuff like this, quietly tell the LORD I see you. There are continuous strings of hope showing up everywhere for YOU. :) This blog post you are reading right now is one of those smiles of hope for your life. :)
2. Surround yourself and I mean Submerge lol into what inspires your heart and soul. If I am dealing with a broken heart, I turn to TBN or Daystar or some station that I know I will get some hope from. If I need some inspiration I also watch youtube videos because there is so much hope on there too. It's available to us everywhere, on all types of devices. Don't feed your soul with mess and keep expecting a harvest of Hope. Awww snap that was a tight word right there! :)
3. Praise opens the windows of HEAVEN. Praise. I heard T.D. Jakes say the other day that "praise is God's weakness." That messed me up..in a good way! Now let me say this right now for those who are reading this who may not be super holy. Everyone praises God in a different way. Some run around the church. Some dance. Some shout praises to the Heavens constantly. My personality is so quiet at times. I'm not that type, but I still raise my hands and give God praise. I don't shout it out most of the time, but honor and praises are coming out out of mouth. Sometimes it's a wave to let the LORD know I'm thankful. Sometimes it's the quietness of my heart that I speak to God. There is no perfect way. God wants your heart.
4. Hold on. If today is rough, tomorrow is right around the corner. Hold on. Joy comes in the morning. Hold on, help is on the way!
INSPIRED BY:
"Dr. Phil's" show on OWN talked about suicides in teens today. Spoke to my heart. We have to do more to give people we meet hope. Just show people you care.
"Life Today with James and Betty Roberson" had a young woman on there from Africa. She gave her testimony of how she lost both parents to contaminated water, was captured for sex trafficking, and how she fears her baby will die from the same drinking water. That tore me up. God spoke to my heart to write you all tonight and speak life to myself too.
Did this blog bless your soul? I surely hope it gave you hope! If so, share it with a friend. You can leave a comment below to let me know what steps are you going to take to strengthen your hope. I look forward to meeting you!
Until the next bloggie blog...In GOD's love,

Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Romans 8:34 NIVDo you see that in the Word? Christ Jesus is interceding for us! I looked up the word "intercede" online and it means "to intervene on behalf of another." I am here to bring you the good news tonight that no matter what you are facing every single day in your heart, mind, or spirit and soul, JESUS Christ is intervening on your behalf! No matter the circumstances, God will not fail you...EVER. No matter how it looks. If you sent up thousands of prayers and thousands of tears behind it, JESUS is STILL walking with you...or carrying you.
Let not your heart be troubled...even if it is. Give it over to HIM.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 NIV
