Hope, Faith & Belief (These Three Are Vital But Often Mis-Understood)

Hope is a seed of Faith; Belief is the Process In Between. Ok let me say it in another way. Hope is a goal setter, Faith is a Goal Getter and Believing is the Instrument you use from Goal Setting (Hope) to Goal Getting (Faith). To bring more clarity in all this we are to look at these three words individually...Let's start with Hope which is the Goal setter.

HOPE: Hope is when you expect something positive, with great expectation; Hope is not always guaranteed to come to pass since its the seed level of that which is expected. Like I said earlier Hope is a goal setter, you might have set a goal before in your life you know how exciting it is to set a goal. But that doesn't guarantee that the expected goal set will come to pass.(It very important to know that Hope is not faith and faith isn't hope). Once we get it right from here, we will never go wrong. One thing is similar between Faith and Hope is that both are positives future but they are explained different. In other words they are common in this sense that they are both don't need to be perceived by our five senses. Now that we have got this out of the way let's look at a scriptural view of Hope. (Romans 8:24-25) " For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees? 25  But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure". From this scripture we understand that once Hope is perceived by our senses it ceases to be hope else how can you Hope for what you can see? Hope is Positive thinking in other words about something, Positive thinking is good but it doesn't guarantee the results anticipated or hoped for. Hope is a goal setter of anticipated future or object.

FAITH: Faith though is the proof or evidence of the thing you are hoping for. This places Faith in a unique role from hope, because Hope is an expected outcome and faith claims that, the verything thing you are hoping for is there even without physical manifestation. Faith does need to perceive it with his senses just like Hope but Faith differs from Hope in this way that Hope sets and Faith Gets what Hope has set. This Makes very important that without faith you can't please God according to Hebrew 11:6. It didn't say without Hope you can't please God...but without Faith you can't please God. Its possible to have hope without Faith...but you can't have Faith without Hope...because Faith is evidence of the unseen hope. Let's look at a scripture about faith. (Hebrew 11:1) "  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]". This makes it all clear that faith is the proof of the hoped object even without a sensual evident but spiritual unseen evident. This Makes faith different from Hope...or else this scripture will be read Faith is The evidence of this things faithed for but no it says Hoped for...Faith is Not hope and Hope isn't Faith.


BELIEVE: A Belief is a strong thought whether for positive or negative, this strong hold of a thought makes happen the goals set by your HOPE and It Gets them by Faith. This Knows No boundary whether positive or negative. Un belief is a form of a belief but in a negative way. Believing is belief in a positive way this alone makes it clear and shows how belief is different from Hope and Faith. Believing is vital but doesn't guarantee you the results Hoped for or believed for ONLY FAITH CAN GET WHAT YOU HAVE HOPED AND BELIEVED. (James 2:17) says " You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as make a man’s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]!" Even devils believes by they are not saved the same way you believed in your heart and confessed it with your mouth. Now let's look at scriptures about believing (2 Corinthians 4:13) says " Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak," This is also a clear picture of the spirit of faith...you Believe Then Speak. Just like how you receive salvation you believed in your heart and confess with your mouth. (Romans 10:9-10) says "Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is
Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10  For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation".


So we hope for something, then Believe it deeply within us and then Confess it Then that is faith.

This works to receive anything from God from salvation to anything that we need or want in this life. This is how we live as Believers...we confess our belief and as a result we always get results. Remember Hope is a a Goal stter, Faith a Goal Getter. And belief when vocalised is How we get what we haved believed and hoped for. Hope is just positive thinking about something this alone won't guarantee you will get what you Hoped for...Postive Thinking Plus Positive Confession That's Hope, Faith & Belief Together and this three working and combined together they will make you live a God-Kind of life. Just above not beneath. Till then brothers and sisters stay in the Word. Your mini-star Tatenda. Believe the word, confess what you have believed and enjoy the fruits of your Hope, Belief and Faith.

Welcome to The Ever-Living-Hope For Everyday!

It is my intention to bring the divine inspired Ever-Living-Hope For Everyday. Heaven and Earth Will pass away only the WORD OF GOD is Ever-Living-Hope. If there is anything more needed today is not miracles in our Hopeless situations But The Word Of God Which is The Ever-Living-Hope For Everyday To Every
body. When you get the Word of God in your spirit it will produce a miracle to that Hopeless situation in your life.this might be If you have been following current affairs lately wherever you are in the whole world you would agree with me
that there is NO Hope in this our present world. There is No Hope for the future, No Hope for peace, No Hope For the Youth & No Hope For a lot of things that if we may go through all of this world's Hopelessness this blog can not even contain. In the midst of this all the last thing you want to be robbed of is your everyday Hope or daily hope; its always vital know that you Hope again once you came into Christ. The scriptures says, 'The mystery of which was hidden for ages and generations [from angels and men], but is now revealed to His holy people (the saints), To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realising the] glory' (colissians 1:26-27).

This Ever-Living-Hope is not an out force but A FORCE WITHIN Triggered by a Christ Consciousness by making intentionally making decision to live a hope filled days everyday of our lives. The scripture says Christ In You The Hope of glory; this is awesome, just knowing that this Hope is in us, this can contribute to live that stress-free and Hope-full life in the spirit everyday.
