Well, I just want
to thank my sisters.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Jill, thank you so
much for your input.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.13
And, Molly,
behave yourself, Molly.
00:00:04.17\00:00:08.27
And for, Dee, we
thank you so much.
00:00:08.30\00:00:11.34
And my closing thought is this,
00:00:11.37\00:00:13.91
"No matter how bad
your circumstances are,
00:00:13.94\00:00:16.98
don't be tempted to blame God,
00:00:17.01\00:00:19.35
don't be tempted
to doubt His love,
00:00:19.38\00:00:21.72
or to doubt His promises."
00:00:21.75\00:00:25.02
Romans 15:13,
00:00:25.05\00:00:27.52
I'm gonna read this to you
from the Amplified Version.
00:00:27.56\00:00:30.53
It says, "May
the God of your hope
00:00:30.56\00:00:34.83
so fill you with all
joy and peace in believing."
00:00:34.86\00:00:40.47
It persisting in your faith.
00:00:40.50\00:00:42.87
"That by the power
of the Holy Spirit,
00:00:42.90\00:00:46.17
you may abound and be
overflowing with hope."
00:00:46.21\00:00:50.91
Bubbling over with hope.
00:00:50.95\00:00:53.82
And hope in the creek
is not some ethereal thing,
00:00:53.85\00:00:59.55
it's not some mist.
00:00:59.59\00:01:02.16
Hope is tangible.
00:01:02.19\00:01:03.53
Hope means earnest
expectation in the creek.
00:01:03.56\00:01:07.33
So what we want
to encourage you,
00:01:07.36\00:01:09.40
and I know my
sisters join me in this.
00:01:09.43\00:01:11.57
We encourage you to get
into the Word of God, pray,
00:01:11.60\00:01:16.17
ask God to help you understand
00:01:16.20\00:01:19.27
how much He loves you
00:01:19.31\00:01:21.68
because until
you understand that,
00:01:21.71\00:01:24.21
you won't
understand what He has for you.
00:01:24.25\00:01:28.72
Did you know...
00:01:28.75\00:01:30.59
The Lord is showing me recently
is that it is our unbelief,
00:01:30.62\00:01:35.99
our spiritual blindness,
00:01:36.02\00:01:37.63
and our
ignorance is what keeps us
00:01:37.66\00:01:40.56
from walking in the
provisions that God has for us.
00:01:40.60\00:01:44.20
So look to the Lord and believe,
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.57
hold on to Him, cry out to Him,
00:01:47.60\00:01:51.51
and our prayer is
that the grace of our Lord
00:01:51.54\00:01:54.01
and Saviour, Jesus
Christ, the love of the Father,
00:01:54.04\00:01:56.88
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.95
will be with you always.
00:01:58.98\00:02:01.32
Amen.
00:02:01.35\00:02:02.68
