The Dangers of Losing Hope/Expectation

This message continues the teaching "The Dangers of Losing Hope/Expectation," focusing on 1 Cor. 13:13, 1 Cor. 14:33, Ezekiel 37:1-11, Matt. 22:29, and other scriptures. Today's discussion was more free-flowing, as we addressed how to maintain hope when things around you seem to be screaming, "All hope is lost!" Hope is one of the three spiritual imperatives, along with faith and love, that must abide, according to 1 Cor. 13:13. You must maintain all three -- faith, hope, and love -- to operate effectively and triumphantly in this world. Hopelessness begets spiritual dryness, which begets weakness, leaving you vulnerable and susceptible to defeat. Therefore, you cannot lose hope. Do not allow what is going on in the 5-sense realm to undermine the power of God's promise! The valley of dry bones is a picture of lost hope, lost expectation, and spiritual dryness. It is a vivid picture of loss. . But the good news is dry bones and dry places can be revived! You must understand and know this. Jesus said, "You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." Matt. 22:29. You need to know these truths and apply them! Find out how to live in the joyous expectation of God's best! Find out how lost hopes can be resurrected. Find out how to come out of dry places! This message will explain just how! Those present were truly blessed and helped by the message. I believe you will be, too! So listen for on-time instruction and a word in season that will enable you to exit places of persistent suffering and experience the delivering power of God!
