  • Sharing Hope Episode 10 - Hang on to Hope
    Aug 1 2021
    Do you ever feel like you are hanging on to life by a thread?  If so, you are not alone.  Life is full of obstacles to overcome, especially when you face tough odds.Recently my daughter and I watched a Disney movie where the hero was faced with insurmountable odds which could no way imaginable be overcome.  As the move progressed, the character developed, grew, and discovered an energy force they could tap into for power.  By the time the credits rolled, the problem was solved, the distress ended, and the world was rescued.  This was a story of hope.  The character used hope to power through the impossible.What was a movie you've probably seen and would watch again.  I've learned, but you might disagree, but its these tales or triumph that make life worth living.  In the struggle we find  strength. The trials test us to develop power we didn't know was available.  This is the story of your life a fascinating story of hope.The truth is that no one would watch a movie or read a book where the main character grows up easily in the mid-west, never faces a bully or problem in school, graduates with honors and a super-high GPA, excel in college, get s dream job, marries, has children, and eventually retires to travel the world and then dies  peacefully in his sleep at a ripe old age.  That story is boring!  We are attracted to tales of hope where light wins over darkness.  We dream of victory over adversity.  This story fuels the energy of hope.  The better days ahead are tikvah!Super Bowl champions hope they can repeat their wins. Army generals hope their battle plans bring victory.  Kids hope that school lets out early.  We must have hope today as well. In Hebrew one of the words translated as hope is “tikvah.”  This hidden Hebrew gem is much more than just a political catchphrase telling you that things will get better one day.  Tikvah is hope super-sized.  Tikvah is hope magnified. Tikvah is hope on steroids.  It is power for your life and an amazing message from years gone by. Now, it's important to know that each Hebrew word is built upon and based upon a smaller root word. This is similar to how the word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” is rooted and based upon the simple word “super.”  The Hebrew word "tikvah" is rooted and based from the word "qawa" which means to "twist, stretch, wait, or collect."  The word picture here is clear that Tikvah is a twisting a stretching from heaven as we wait on our Maker.  In fact, the words “hope” and “wait” are often used interchangeably by Bible translators. The root word for Tikvah is also found in Genesis 49:18.  This is a prophetic verse that can only be understood in the holy Hebrew language.  In English it reads, “for your salvation I hope O Lord.”   In Hebrew this verse says, “Qawa yeshua Yahweh.” The root word for “tikvah” is found in this prayer by Jacob.  It's also in this passage that the patriarch Jacob says the name of our Messiah. Thousands of years before he would be born to a virgin, Jacob says “I have tikvah in Jesus” or “I wait upon Jesus Salvation of the Lord.”  It is absolutely amazing that Jacob knew the Messiah’s name and he recognized that Jesus would bring hope to the entire world. It should not surprise us but the national anthem of the nation of Israel is called “Ha Tikvah” or “The Hope.”  The number one message given to soldiers and citizens in the Promised Land is that of hope.The lyrics to the song explain the hope of the Hebrews.  Just read how the lyrics of this song express the prophetic desire of God…“As long as the Hebrew spirit is yearning deep in the heart, With eyes turned towards the East, looking toward Zion, Then our hope – the two thousand-year-old hope – will not be lost To be a free people in our land, the land of Zion and Jerusalem."There is a national hope and there is individual hope in this song and in our lives.  And just as the Almighty restored the nation of Israel, the Lord can and will restore your life from the brink of destruction.  Jeremiah 29 verse 11 promises us a good hope in the end. Indeed, the message of the Bible is that the Lord Yahweh first created things wonderful and perfect until sin entered the world.  Messiah came to restore all things and we await a redemption that is soon upon us.  In this we should take hope that things will be better in the end.   Things will work out for us.  We can have hope that all things will blend together for our good in the end.Therefore if things are not good now, then it's not the end!  If your situation is dire; if you are in pain; if your heart aches; then it's not the end. The Almighty promises you a good hope in the end.  Don’t give up!  In English, Hope is also in acronym that says, “Hold On Pain Ends.”  Have hope like the boy in the baseball game.  The story is told of a man who approached a little league baseball game one afternoon. He asked a ...

  • Is there Really Life After Death?
    Apr 3 2021

    "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead," Philippians 3:7-11.

  • You Can Have Perfect Peace
    Feb 1 2021

    You will keep him in perfect peace,
    Whose mind is stayed on You,
    Because he trusts in You.

    Isaiah 26:3

     

    Samuch yetzer tizor shalom shalom ki batuach

     

    Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened

    Romans 1:21

     

    Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 

    2 Corinthians 10:5

     

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

    Hebrews 11:1

     

    But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

    1 Corinthians 2:14-16

     

    1) Does this thought bring stress or calm?

    2)Who would I be without this thought?

    3)How do I imagine God’s best in this situation?

     

    God is always at perfect peace and we can experience this peace when our imagination overlaps His.

    Isaiah 26:3
