Maintain hope in times of loss and disappointment, as biblical hope is the joyful anticipation of good. By living with hope, you prevent unbelief from taking hold and allow God to comfort and strengthen you.
God desires to set us free from legalism and empower us to understand the freedom we have in Jesus. He paid a high price for our freedom and wants us to pursue Him without being burdened by man-made rules and regulations.
When we surrender control to the Holy Spirit and do what He tells us to do, we will succeed in ministry and life. Total surrender means allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our actions and decisions, trusting that He knows what is best.
Being alive to God means keeping our mind on Him and the new person we are in Jesus. We don't need to worry about losing our true life because it is hidden with Christ in God.
As we abide in God's presence and embrace His words, our desires become aligned with His will and our strength is renewed. It is in this place of connection and relationship with Him that we experience the fullness of His provision and the manifestation of His nature.
