The Key To Unlock Faith

Many of us have embraced the phrase “Don’t get your hopes up,” allowing it to steal the abundant life God has promised. Too often, we settle for less than God’s best because our expectations are too low. In this message, Pastor DaVon encourages you to raise your hope again, giving your faith something powerful to work with and unlocking the fullness of God’s promises.

Notes

Romans 15:13 NKJV

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit 

  • Some people say, "Don't get your hopes up" 

  • Many of us haven't even come to a place where we really expect something from God.

  • Our low expectations often rob us.

  • We are often ready to settle for much less than God wants to give us

  • God is the source of all expectation

  • Expectations should fill you with joy and peace

  • Abound - More and more hope, Overflow, Bubbling over, Abundance

  • I prophesy that You shall abound with hope, More and more hope, Overflow, Bubbling over, Abundance of hope 

  • The Holy Spirit enables you to hope

  • What are you excited about? 

  • What are you looking forward to? 

  • The word hope in English often conveys doubt.

  • Biblical hope says, “There is no doubt about it!”

Hebrews 6:19

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast...

  • Biblical hope is not a feeling. 

  • Biblical hope carries no doubt.

  • Biblical hope believes that God always keeps His promises.

Hebrews 11:1 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1 AMPC

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

  • Hope is future tense; Faith is present tense

  • Faith is taking hold of the unseen realm of hope and bringing it into the realm of reality.

  • Faith will eventually bring into reality what you have hoped for

  • Hope is confident expectation based upon a sure foundation for which we wait with joy and peace 

Proverbs 10:24 NLT

The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.
