OUR CONFIDENT HOPE When the Church prays

Romans 12:12  (NLT VERSION) “Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.”

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? 1.  REJOICE IN OUR CONFIDENT HOPE. (V.12A)

Rejoice- (verb) The Two Greek words used -- chairein and chaironton -- are both forms of the same Greek word: chairo. It means 'to rejoice, be glad, full of joy.' This word is related to charis which means 'grace.' In its broader meaning it is a form of greeting, such as 'be well' or 'thrive.'

Merriam Webster- to feel or show that you are very happy about something. Confidence- (n.) The state of mind characterized by one's reliance on himself, or his circumstances; a feeling of self- sufficiency; such assurance as leads to a feeling of security; self-reliance; -- often with self-prefixed.

ROMANS 8:23 23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children,[a] including the new bodies he has promised us. ROMANS 5:2 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward TO SHARING GOD’S GLORY.

REJOICE! HINDI KA NAWALAN NG PAG-ASA! ACTUALLY, DAHIL NASA’YO SI KRISTO, NASA’YO ANG PAG-ASA.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

YOUR GOD IS A RECORD-BREAKING GOD. WALA PO SIYANG PANGAKONG PINALYA!

It’s not a command to be happy, but to rejoice by having the right perspective in any situation. OUR HOPE IS WORTH REJOICING!

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? 2. BE PATIENT IN TROUBLE. (V.12B)

ROMANS 5:3-5 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Revelation 21:4 (NIV)  ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[a] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelations 14;13  And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

JUST BE PATIENT. BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, YOU ARE BLESSED!
