Corner 1 | Hope Unseen

His Hope is not distant or blurry, Hope is near and clear and it comes into focus.

The 3 Main Points of “Hope Unseen”

1. We are blessed with “Hope Unseen”. This is where we see down the supernatural “Hallway of Heaven” and we believe “what will come to be”, even though we have not YET seen it!  The First New Hope that He spoke of was that of “HOPE UNSEEN”, which is where we see down the supernatural hallway of heaven and believe what will come to be though we have not YET seen it. When we have a fissure of hopelessness where we must naturally see in order to trust God, then this Hope for the Unseen is a solution from Heaven for us.

"…but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance." - Romans 8:24-25

2. I had “Basement Dreams” in this corner where we learn how to hope in the dark. Jesus gives us gift-boxes and when we open them , they is a wonderful “Well of Hope” that  springs up in them, over Who God created them to be!

3. We discover New Knowledge of God and His Greatness in the midst of challenges when it is really hard to hope!

​These were the questions the Angel of Hope asked me. He said that everyone believes they are ‘hopeful and loving people’. This was not a negative reality, but we have to see where you are really at and fight with hope. Send a questionnaire out to people who have grown in hope over the years (10, 20, 30 year journey’s). Ask them how they maintained this hope. Many think they are just ‘hopeful people’. Hope must be focused on, worked on and developed.

Corner 2 | Childlike Hope

Here, we encounter and adore the face of God, our "Burden-bearing God."  He is the one who takes the world off our shoulders and gives us a new operating system based in rest, rather than striving.

“Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” - Psalm 55:22

In Luke 15, where the Prodigal Son and the older brother are both relating to their Father, we see that the Father really gave Carefree, Childlike Hope to both his sons.  He told his prodigal son, he was accepted and restored.  He told his older son that he could rest and enjoy his inheritance both today and in the days to come.  Neither were to carry the burdens but were to rest in their Father's love and care for them.

In Matthew 8:23-25, Jesus has the same Carefree, Childlike Hope when He sleeps in the midst of the storm on the boat. He says the disciples were to have that too.

In the Carefree, Childlike Hope Corner, we learn to let Jesus really carry the heavy burdens for us, and not take it on ourselves to save the world.  We realize to a greater degree that "His Yoke is easy and His burden is light."  He wants to teach us how to live a lifestyle of hoping in Him, in all circumstances, and to remain carefree.

As we partner with Jesus, Carefree, Childlike Hope heals the fissure of hopelessness in unwittingly trying to save the world.  Our hope grows as we trust the Lord to do the saving.

Then we engage in the wonder, simplicity, and playfulness of the moment in Childlike Joy. We are full of Wonder, Trust, Awe, Playfulness, Joy, Simplicity, Peace, & Forgiveness.

Childlike Hope is focused on the qualities of openness, simplicity, relational sensitivity and vulnerability that children naturally exhibit. When I took the journey through the Yellow House, I saw this happen when a snake wrap itself around the waist and bite the liver.  This was the challenge of Childlike Hope, that bitterness and cynicism can take over the human heart and mind.  Jesus wants us to tread on that snake.

Jesus cried out once in great celebration and joy that our Father has “hidden these things from the wise and intelligent” but has “revealed them to babes.”  We are not ashamed to have Carefree, Childlike Hope in our God.  Jesus was referring to our grasping the deep mystery of enjoying a true union with God as our Papa.

Corner 3 | Hope Against Hope

Jesus shows how to have Hope against hope. Hope in the midst of challenges. When the promises of God seem like they fail to come to pass, our hope is challenged. Hope against hope is the force that allows us to not lose heart and hope in God and His promises. Jesus gives us hope to confirm the new promises that always supersede and trump the original ones.

"As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Romans 4:17-18

‍
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret —it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land." - Psalm 37:7-9

"There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off." Proverbs 23:18

‍
Hope against hope is where in the midst of challenges, pain and uncertainties we believe and proclaim the hopeful plan and promises of our Promise Keeper Father. When our fissures and fractures bark and howl at us relentlessly our hopes become deferred, yet in the midst of the storm we know that we have this hope that is an anchor for our soul.

Corner 4 | Crazy Hope

Here, we enter the realm of "Crazy Hope!" This is the Crazy Hope Corner of Hopeful Praise and Crazy Adoration that lifts us above the clouds of doubt and despair. Jesus stated that our time of warfare has ended.

"Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God. “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed, her iniquity has been pardoned; for she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.” - Isaiah 40:1-2​

"The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." - 2 Cor. 10:4

Divine power is the realm we wage war in.  This is where we receive a greater level of Kingdom Hearing that enables us to enter what the Lord is birthing and releasing on the earth.  We are to enter the sunlit fields of life with Him with Crazy Hope.

“God, you did everything you promised, and I’m thanking you with all my heart. You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff-edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life.” - Psalm 56:12-13 MSG

HOPE CENTERS ESTABLISHED IN RIDICULOUS HOPE

On January 28, 2016, I had a vision of the brightest colored angels being sent to earth by God on assignment. The Ridiculous Hope Angel helped people establish different types of Hope Centers.

The vision showed this angel going from bed to bed, representing an intimate relationship with the King of Kings as one truly who entered into the “Rest of the Lord” and trusted God (the very highest form of Hope).

In a challenging world filled with chaos and turmoil, it really takes a heart of innocence and childlike hope plus Crazy, Ridiculous Hope to do everything from a position of hope in God’s new revolutionary operating system. The Ridiculous Hope Angel was sent so that Hope Reformers would believe and launch the Hope Reformation.  This will change the entire world for GOOD and His Goodness' sake!
