Romans 15:13 - "May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing -- through the experience of your faith--that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope."

Hope is a devine dream. It's an inner image that's bigger than you are because it's built on the promises of God.

Example:
If the doctor told you that you will never walk then you see yourself climbing mountains and bringing the word of God to hurting people. You find in scripture (Isaiah 40:31) where it says those who wait on the Lord shall run and walk and not faint or be weary. You look at it until you see nothing else. Picture yourself walking for miles and running from one place to the next, telling everyone -- Jesus as raised you up and made you whole.

Affirmations:
Today I am becoming a dreamer.
I take the word of God and build some dreams.....NOW!

Psalm 37:4 - "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart."

Matthew 24:45 - "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household?"

The word tells us that God shows Himself strong in behalf of those whos hearts are "perfect" toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). "Perfect" doesn't men that we have to do everything just right and live without making a mistake. It means "devoted" -- a heart consecrated, dedicated, loyal and faithful to God.
Who is faithful? The one who spends his time doing what God as called him to do -- or as Jesus put it, the one who takes up his cross and follows him. The one who denies his fleshly desires and spends his life on the things God desires him to do.

AFFIRMATIONS:
Today I decide to be a faithful and wise servant.
I find out what is stealing my time from the Lord.
I take up Jesus' thoughts today.
I take up His purposes and plans.
Now is the time to be faithful!
