Is your hope a fragile thing, easily shattered by life's ups and downs?

Most people are trying to have hope, but getting beat up by the troubles and stresses of life. God wants to lift you above your circumstances and give you hope that can’t be shaken. This video will show you how to do that.

God wants to lift us above the circumstances of our lives and brings us to a place of unshakable hope and peace.

What is Biblical Hope?

In our culture, we use the word “hope” to mean a wish – like crossing our fingers for something we want to come true but don’t know if it will or not.

That is not Biblical hope!

God has many names in the Bible. One of them is “the God of hope.”

Romans 15:13 NIV

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit

God wants us to live “overflow(ing) with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” He wants us to live as He lives – supernaturally filled with hope that doesn’t fade or fail. And He makes it possible by “the power of the Holy Spirit” and the Word of God.

Hope is Getting Pregnant

God promised Abram that his barren wife, Sarah, would bear him a son. God said Abram would be the father of many nations. God said his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. (See Genesis 18, 21)

God didn't fulfill that promise for 25 years. Then Isaac was born to 90-year-old Sarah. Abraham was 100 years old when he held his son for the first time.

Romans 4:18-21

18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.

20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed.” Even when there was no reason for hope, and many reasons to lose hope, Abraham kept hoping and believing that he would have a son and become the father of many nations. Why? God promised it! And he was (v 21) “fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised.”

What God promises, He does. He is utterly incapable of not fulfilling his promises to those who believe.

Expecting

When a woman is going to have a baby we say she is “expecting.”

Now compare that to how most of us try to have hope when we’re going through a tough time. We fret, we worry, we doubt, our hope goes up and down like a yo-yo.

Biblical hope is getting pregnant with the promises of God.. God’s Word (his seeds) also take time to grow and mature before they come to life in us.

1 Peter 1:23

23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (See Matthew 13.)

All God’s promises are true. And all God’s promises are ours, through Jesus. Numbers 23:19 NLT, 1 Corinthians 1:20

Biblical hope, is “a confident expectation“ of a future outcome. We don’t have it yet, but we will. Romans 5:5

God’s Hope is Our Anchor – It Holds Us Fast as the Storms of Life Rage Around Us

Hebrews 6:19, Romans 15:13 NIV
