Create and cultivate an environment for hope to thrive

Thought of the day: fasting hopelessness 

Create and cultivate an environment for hope to thrive. 

The battle being fought over our hope begins in our mind, listen to your thoughts. 

Truth is that the enemy is more attracted by what you think than what you do. Your first line of defense is knowing who you are in Christ, this will determine how you think. The only way to know who you are in Christ... is to know what He thinks about you. If you know what God has to say about you then the lies of the enemy seem silly. 

If we begin each morning asking God for hope then we are creating an environment where God can thrive, work in our lives. Our petition for hope ushers is a confident expectation for Gods supernatural help. Cast out the lies of the enemy that produce distress , an environment that cultivates opportunity for the enemy's accusations which cause us not to trust. 

Remember, you were chosen by Him, while you were in your sin, to be someone He would die for. He loves us more than we can ever imagine... Begin to imagine, how He loves:)

Meditate on this truth today. Allow it to cultivate hope!

"So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.

We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us" -Romans 31-39 MSG
