Hope Plus Faith Equals Manifestation

Proverbs 13:12 (NKJV)

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life."


1. Deferred: Withheld until a future date, Postponed or delayed.


Proverbs 13:12 (TPT)

"When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul."


1. If there is no promise one has no grounds for hope his hope is in vain. All hope is base on a promise.


HOPE THAT IS SEEN IS NOT HOPE:

Romans 8:24-25 (NKJV)

"For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance."


Romans 8:24-25 (MSG)

"That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. 25 But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy."


HOPES PROCESS OF MANIFESTATION:

Romans 5:2-5 (AMP)

"Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]. 3 And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; 4 and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."


Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV)

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."


Hebrews 10:23 (MSG)

"Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word."
