"Hope in Love"
-- Victoria Boyson
Speaking Life Ministries
www.boyson.org
God's passion is seeing you walk in all
that He has for you.
"His pleasure
is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the
Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love."
--Psalm 147:10-11 (NIV)
I know that sometimes it is very difficult
to trust in God while waiting for the development of your destiny. But we hope
not in hope itself; we put our hope in God's unfailing love for us. And His love
for us is strong enough to sink our hope into, because in the vast creation of
the whole universe, His delight . . . is in you.
Our Father's Pleasure
I love the way David expresses himself in Psalm 147. He says our Father's
pleasure is not in the great strength of a horse or the strength in the legs of
a man. Of course, He made these things and is pleased with them, but they are
not what He delights in. Yes, God has the stars, the moon, and the sun that He
could delight in, but they do not hold any great pleasure for Him. What God is
passionate about is not the world He has created. They were only gifts He made
for the one He loves to enjoy. What He delights in, my friend, is YOU.
You are the apple of God's eye. You are what He is passionate about. Not the
great white whale, the Hawaiian Islands, or the Rocky Mountains--but you. And
when you turn your gaze toward Him, His heart skips a beat. You are what He
loves--the great passion He delights in. And those who hope in His love for
them, He will not deny.
Hoping in His Goodness
Your hope in God is the greatest honor and praise that you could give Him; it
delights Him. You could not show your love for God any greater than by hoping in
His goodness and trusting in His love. God wants for you to really know that He
is good. And when you do, He will stop at nothing to bless you.
Unfailing Love
It is difficult to wait and hope. But let's think about what we are hoping in .
. . His unfailing love. God's love is not fickle like man's love. No, Psalm
145:8 says, "The Lord is gracious and
compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." His love is
unconditional. We think we understand His love, but really we do not. If we did,
we would not treat others the way that we do.
God does not stop loving us when we fail. He does not want us to fail because He
knows it will hurt us, but He definitely does not stop loving us. His red-hot
love for us does not cool either. He loves us as much today as He will ever love
us in our lifetime. He knew exactly what He could expect from us before He first
chose us, and He chose us anyway.
Seasons Change
Flowers do not bloom year round, but do we lose faith in them because they stop
blooming for a time? No we don't, because we understand the different seasons
they go through. And God understands that we go through different seasons and
changes. Sometimes we bloom, and sometimes we don't.
God loves us and appreciates us just as much as when we are not in bloom because
He knows all and sees all. You may be going through a difficult time right now,
but God looks ten years into your future and smiles. He never panics when we
make mistakes; He just uses our mistakes for His glory. That is the love we hope
in.
There is a time when every pot is a lump of clay, but God looks at that lump of
clay and sees a beautiful pot!
"'For I know
the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.'" --Jeremiah 29:11
(NIV)
No matter what you are going through right
now, God's plans for you remain the same. When a little child is just learning
to walk and happens to fall down, his parents do not become angry with him. They
do not get upset with him because he falls. Instead, they rejoice in the fact
that he is trying to walk. They do not regard it as a failure, but enjoy
watching him learn. And your Father in Heaven sees you exactly the same way.
God never gives up. No matter how many times we fail, His plans for us never
change. We may have to endure a time of chastisement or setback, but His plans
for us never change. He will never give up on us, either, because He sees the
finished product.
The Least of the Least
In Judges 6, the Israelites were crying out to God to save them from the
Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern countries who raided their land and
left no living thing for Israel to survive on. They were desperate and prayed to
God for help. The help God sent was Gideon. God had great plans for Gideon, but
Gideon did not see it in himself. There was greatness in him, but he felt
inadequate for the job and even argued with God about choosing him to lead
Israel (v 15).
God spoke to Gideon and told him to "go in the strength you have." When Gideon
argued and asked, "How can I save Israel?" God's answer was simple. He said, "I
will be with you" (Judges 6:16). The answer to all of Gideon's
inadequacies was the same, "I will be with you." Gideon was left with only one
answer and that was to hope in God's unfailing love for him; that was enough.
Even though Gideon was the least of the least of the tribes of Israel (see
Judges 6:15), God used him to change a nation. And He will use you in the
same way because He delights in those who put their hope in His unfailing love
(see Psalm 147:11). You may feel like nothing special right now, but God
sees greatness in you. He sees a mighty warrior!
There is Greatness in You
As with Gideon, God sees greatness in you. For much of your life, that greatness
may be kept a secret, but it is still in you. God is faithfully preparing you
for your destiny. He is molding you into the person He desires you to be: the
kind of person who is bold enough to know that there is greatness inside of
himself, but humble enough to know where that greatness comes from.
It can be very troubling for you to believe in your destiny when you feel
inadequate, but let me assure you, there is greatness in you. And
you will, like Gideon, fulfill your destiny in God. He will have His way with
you, if you place your hope in His unfailing love. Put your hope in the fact
that you know He loves you and that He desperately wants what is best for you.
He wants to make your dreams come true. He wants to bless you more than you want
to be blessed.
Hope in God. Hope in love. Let go of fear, for your destiny is in good hands. He
is able to do above and beyond all that you could ask or hope or dream (see
Ephesians 3:20). He is driven by love. His passion is you and seeing you
walk in all that He has for you, and He will do whatever it takes to get you
there. After all, it was His idea to call you in the first place, and He will
finish what He began in you.
You are on the adventure of your life, so remember to enjoy the process. Enjoy
every aspect of your journey with your heavenly Father who loves you. And praise
God with your smile. At a time like this, the best thing to do is smile because
you are in God's hands.
"The Lord will
fulfill his purpose for me; your love O Lord, endures forever--do not abandon
the works of your hands." -- Psalm 138:8
Pray this with me:
Dear Father,
Help me to see Your love for me and help me to hold on to Your love. I want to
see myself the way that You see me. Help me to trust, believe, and hope.
My prayer for you:
Dear Father,
I ask You to bless this dear saint with everything they will need to see the
birth of their destiny come to pass. Anoint them for Your purposes and help them
to succeed. Help them to know of Your great love for them and help them to trust
in that love. Please send people to them who will represent Your heart toward
them.

"Bringing God's Destiny for You Into Today"
The Best of Graham Cooke
by Graham Cooke
$59.00
9 Audio CDs
|
|

| |
| |
Dear Elijah List Readers,
Our most-popular-ever prophetic teacher is, bar none -- Graham Cooke.
We decided to put together this 9 CD set, all recorded at a recent Prophetic
Conference . . . all by Graham Cooke.
We're calling THE SET by the same name of one of the CD's:
 "Bringing
God's Future Destiny for YOU into Today - Not Years from Now"
 I
don't need to go on and on about Graham. Just know that you will not go away
from this encounter with a man of God unchanged. I sure didn't.
I never do.
Even when I sit down and have coffee with him . . . oh, he calls it "St. Arbucks!"
You'll love his wit, his wisdom, his hard-hitting yet completely grace-filled
messages.
 And
his very last one is a Question and Answer Session with Denny Cline on the
prophetic ministry today.
Get them now, while our supply lasts.
This is one set of tapes we WANT you to copy and give away to as many friends as
you can find.
Deal?
In his GRACE,
Steve Shultz

This CD set includes the
2 titles below PLUS 3 MORE Sessions (2 Audio CDs each) from our Prophetic
Training School held at Canby Grove (2004)!
"Bringing
God's Future Destiny for YOU into Today - Not Years from Now" (2 Audio CDs)
 We
have each been given a sure and certain future destiny from the Father, and our
training and "molding" process has been underway since our birth! Do you want to
speed up the process? You're not alone!
In this revealing teaching set, Graham Cooke explains how the Father sees us in
light of the very destiny HE has placed within us. With God, it's "OK" to make
mistakes and "push the envelope." God even likes it when we push the envelope.
Graham calls that "walking off our map."
Among other things you'll learn from this 2-CD or 2-Cassette set:
- Why are "settlers" and "pioneers" both needed in the Body of Christ?
- How does God get us to trust completely in Him, even while everything is
falling apart around us?
- What is wrong with "forgetting about yourself" when you worship God?
- What is the highest form of worship that exists?
- What does your image of God have to do with your destiny - and how can an
improvement of your image of Him speed up the fulfillment of your destiny?
- Why is it GOOD to make mistakes? In fact, why is it preferable to make
mistakes?
You don't want to miss the information on this teaching!
 "Prophecy
Questions and Answers"
with Graham Cooke and Denny Cline
 "Sometimes,
the 'meatiest' prophetic teaching, training, and growth happens when we feature
a prophet in a question-and-answer period. In this very recent special message,
the audience was encouraged to write their prophetic questions down. Denny Cline
then interviews Graham Cooke to ask him these questions, live, to tape. This is
one of those messages where you discover that either you're not crazy after all
or, in some cases, you may be encouraged to discover that you were taking too
 much
responsibility on yourself with the prophetic gift God is working into you.
Either way, you will be triple-blessed with this one message. In my opinion,
it's worth getting the whole 9-pack of all these CDs just to get this one by
Graham Cooke!" -- Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST /Prophetic.TV |

"The Birth of Your Destiny"
by Victoria Boyson
$12.95
Book
|
|
|
 |
|
|
God wants to give you a dream for your
future and implant the seeds of destiny in your heart. Just like a baby hidden
in the womb, so are the promises God has given to us. He speaks to us of our
future to conceive within us His will and purpose for our lives.
Giving birth to your destiny is a difficult
and exhausting process, but inevitably your misery will turn into joy and you
will produce the product of grace that you have always dreamed of. You are much
too close to the end to give up now. How do I know this? You have this book in
your hands. Experience an impartation of God's grace and faith to fulfill all
that He has for you.
"The Birth Of Your
Destiny not only instructs you about theological facts pertaining to
destiny, but the fact that this book is in your hands tells me that you are well
on your way to the fulfillment of your destiny. It will provide important keys
to unlocking the fullness of God's plan for your life."
