Faith is the substance of things hoped for, Amen? Sure, so in order to walk by faith, hope must be in its proper place. Making eye-contact, if your too shy to look into the face of another, how shall you ever gain the courage to walk with them. God is saying, you’re looking at me face to face when my word you do embrace. Come on stare it down and don’t turn away, not a casual glance, but a magnified gaze. Now hold that position and you will be amazed, how hope will just come cascading down, for your faith needs hope, to tie around, it.” (The simple gift of prophecy found in 1 Cor. 12)
Romans 15:13
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
