Hope

Brothers and sisters our Lord Jesus gave this to me when my heart was deep in despair and the dark circumstances of life were pulling me under their waves full of hopelessness, and defeat. I am here to tell you that God will walk through the valley of the shadow with you, for our great Shepherd knows your pain, your hurt (Hebrew 13:20). God promises in His Word to never leave or forsake His children, and I boldly state I am a living testimony that Christ will answer you for He has answered me time after time when I could not go on, and all I could do was cry, Abba, I trust You (Hebrews 13:5). The God of miracles who has provided for His people over and over again will supply your needs for He is EL Shaddai (Philippians 4:19). You only have to call upon Him. Call to Him when you are sitting alone in the dark crying for what might have been. Cry out to Him for you are so precious to Him He holds your every tear a bottle (Psalm 56:8). When you face that unsurpassable mountain of grief too big for you to climb, cry out Jesus always listens. It will not be easy, but He will make things bearable for you, and the joy that passes all earthly comprehension will fill your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). There is Hope, and I am here to tell you that His name is Jesus Christ (Romans 8:24).


Psalm 43:1-5

“ 1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”


Prophetic Word

Oh Lord, I need You so much

My heart is breaking

I call out to You

I need my Redeemer, my Rock

Hide me in the cleft of the Rock

Cover me with Your wings of Peace


Shadow me with Your protection

Sorrow rises to drag me down in its wave

I call to the Lord in my distress

Lord lift me from this despair

My hope is in the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth

I am drowning; I cannot breath


I call out to You Oh Tower of Strength

Life’s cruel circumstances seek to pull me under

Save me Jesus, be my Cornerstone

Let me stand on You though all else is crumbling

Fill me with Your joy

Look upon me with Your favor


I seek Your face while life swirls around me like a tempest

Savior rescue me; I need You

When all I have clung to slips through my fingers like sand

And there is nothing left in me

I relinquish my will to You

To You alone will I cling


Lord, draw me close in the tempest

I call to You my Deliverer

I will praise Your name

I will dance for joy to You in the storm

I will sing praises to Your name

Do not leave me alone, my Beloved


I call to You Oh Holy One

To You, alone I give my allegiance

Lamb of God, I cling to You

I lift up my eyes to You, my Savior

My soul is peaceful in You; Who is Peace

My heart is full of adoration for Your presence


Jesus, accept my love song

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, I love You

I adore You; fill me with You

My Hope, my Peace, my steadfastness,  my life

Living water fill my life

For without You life is an empty shell


I need You; All-Sufficient One

I cannot live without You

Give me beautiful joy for the ashes I have made

Fix my eyes on Your wonders

Even in this, I trust You Lord

Hope, Who is Christ; rises in my heart, my soul


Oh blessed Hope, I love You

Lamb of God, my perfect sacrifice

Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation

Surround me as a strong tower

I praise thee for thou has lifted me from the miry clay

I am secure on the foundation that is God


I love You oh Lord, my King

Wash me with thy cleansing blood

Cloth me in Thy righteousness

I throw myself to You; I am safe in Your arms

Nothing will separate You from me

My redeemer, I love You


Psalm 18:1-16

“1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.”


My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. God hears you when you cry out to Him (I John 5:13-14). The Alpha and Omega Who walks through time and space cares for you; His beloved child (Revelation 21:6). Will you not cry out to Him for He is listening (1 Peter 3:12). Have hope my friend, for He that is Hope, cares for you (Psalm 130:5).

May the God of wonders bless you,

Armour Bearer
