Hopeful Influence

Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! Romans 15:13

 

Hopeful Influence


"The person in the room with the most hope has the most influence." Unknown


I have seen this play out numerous times throughout my life.


A great analogy is the contrast between a thermostat and a thermometer.


A thermostat sets the temperature of the room.


A thermometer will report the temperature of the room.


When the Holy Spirit fills us, then we are flowing with hope.


Hope is not just a "wish" of positive thoughts but the intimate expectation of good from our good Father!


If you listen with the Father's heart, you will hear a desperate cry of hopelessness in most nonbelievers and many followers of Jesus.


We are the bringers of hope since we are a temple of the Holy Spirit, and in every room we walk into, so does He.


When you have hope, you control the thermostat!


In what ways is God calling you to step into the fullness of His inheritance of hope as His sons and daughters?


Have you asked for the fullness of experiencing the Holy Spirit until you radiate with hope?


Lord, may we hear the cry of the hearts of your children. Lead us to hear, see, and know how to set the temperature in a room to the warmth of Your love. Amen
