MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU

Romans 15:1-13

We who are Strong

Ought to bear with the Failings of the Weak

And not to please ourselves.

Each of us should please his neighbor for his good,

To build him up.

For even Christ did not please Himself but, as it is Written:

'The Insults of those who Insult you have fallen on Me.'

For Everything that was Written in the Past

WAS WRITTEN TO TEACH US,

So that through Endurance

And Encouragement of the Scriptures

We might have Hope.

May the God Who gives Endurance and Encouragement

Give you a spirit of Unity among yourselves

As you Follow Christ Jesus,

SO THAT WITH ONE HEART AND MOUTH

You may Glorify the God and Father

Of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you,

In order to Bring Praise to God.

For I tell you that Christ has become a Servant of the Jews

On behalf of God's Truth,

To Confirm the Promises made to the Patriarchs

So that the Gentiles may Glorify God

For His Mercy, as it is Written:

'Therefore I will Praise You among the Gentiles;

I will sing hymns to your Name.'

Again, it says, 'Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His People.'

And again, 'Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,

And sing Praises to Him, all you Peoples.'

And again, Isaiah says,

'The Root of Jesse will spring up,

One Who will arise to Rule over the Nations;

THE GENTILES WILL HOPE IN HIM.'

MAY THE GOD OF HOPE

FILL YOU WILL ALL JOY AND PEACE

As you Trust in Him,

SO THAT YOU MAY OVERFLOW WITH HOPE

BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

(Romans 15: 1-13)

The Entire Old Testament was Written to Teach us

On whom the End of TIME would come.

The OT Saints had Hope

Based on what God had revealed to them

Through the Scriptures of that time;

Namely, the Promises of God to the Patriarchs.

And they ENDURED this Wicked World

And Satan who Rules it,

And Prevailed, because of that Hope.

We, today, rely on the same Promises as the Patriarchs.

Christ's First Coming

And His Second Coming are based on them.

We Gentiles, are waiting until the Full Number of us

Has been brought IN TO God's Kingdom,

As God Determined before TIME began.

When Christ Jesus Returns,

He will Rule over the Nations

And Satan will be No More.

Today, we Rejoice in what God has Promised,

And we Praise God for His Magnificent Plan.

WE PLACE ALL OUR HOPE IN HIM.

Today, we are Filled

With Overflowing Hope and Joy and Peace

As we Trust in Him,

ALL MADE POSSIBLE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT;

By Christ living IN and THROUGH us,

OUR HOPE OF GLORY. [Colossians 1:27)

We understand that there is No Other Hope in this World.

Outside of this Hope ALL is PRETENSE;

Outside of this Hope ALL is Make Believe.

WHY?

Because the “god” of this Age

Has Blinded the minds of Unbelievers

So that they Cannot SEE

The LIGHT of the Gospel of Christ,

Who is the Image of God.

(2 Corinthians 4:4)

Christ Jesus told us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape

All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND

Before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging Against God,

Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away.

(1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder

Because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

(Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be!

Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,

On Earth as in Heaven!
