In the last days, hope will be one of Earth’s most precious commodities! If you have it, people will come to you seeking it like gold.
They will want to know where you found it and how they can have some. The darker the world around us gets, the brighter our hope will shine. People will need hope more than they need food. As the Word says, “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?” (Prov. 18:14).
You carry the power of the Holy Spirit to open people’s spiritually blind eyes to see the truth of their situation and to receive the hope of deliverance and salvation. Paul wrote that we have the authority to “open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith” (Acts 26:18).
Sometimes that blindness is literal.
Ruby was legally blind from an aggressively advancing eye disease. She lived a hundred miles from our church but heard that we believed in miracles, so she and her boyfriend, who later became her husband, made the trek to Mount Hope Church. I called people forward for prayer during the service, and Ruby was among those who responded. Someone in our church, a normal hope distributor, laid hands on Ruby as we prayed.
When the service was over, Ruby walked up to me and said softly, “Pastor, I was blind, but now I see.” I did not know Ruby and thought she was having a spiritual experience. But she insisted, “No, Pastor, I came in here blind today, and now I can see perfectly.” I asked her to go to her doctor for confirmation.
Later that week, I received a handwritten letter from a doctor, who told me that Ruby had authorized him to write to me about her condition. He explained that Ruby had an irreversible eye condition that would eventually leave her completely blind. He then told me that he examined Ruby, and the condition was gone. The last line of his letter was this: “Pastor Williams, this is nothing short of a miracle.” Ruby’s healing started with hope and the obedience of a hope distributor from that mystery nation known as the church.
What a wonderful source of hope? It is a transforming message.
Yes it is. I cant go on without it.

I believe The Lord has a very divine plan for me! Every day I wake up EXCITED because this is the day the Lord hath made and he chose ME! To rise, encourage, for the simple reason of HOPE, the anchor of the soul! Hebrews 6:19. I just started working at Walmart (Asst Mgr) 6 months ago, divinely orchestrated by the Lord. On March 25, the air was heavy so in the store meeting we have EVERY morning, I announced, “I’m not sure what’s going on but, if anyone needs A listening ear, someone to talk to, I’m available to walk and talk with them.” This was at 9am. At the time, no one knew… However, at 10:30am, we found our accountant who was supposed to arrive at 6am, shot herself in the parking lot. I was one of the first ones on the scene. This was a VERY HARD thing because she would always talk about the Lord. Even went to church with our store manager.
I love to encourage, make people smile and feel welcomed! This is a major gift from the Lord that I’m SO HAPPY he gave to me! Loving others is easy! Many have spoken over me Isaiah 54! I’m learning a lot and have only been strongly in the word 3-4 years! Went through a huge spiritual awakening 2 years ago, where doctors tried to diagnose me extremely Bi-polar and severely depressed – I literally heard the voice of God, “Follow Me” it was pitch black and the ONLY thing I could see was Jesus’ white coat in my hand. I was crying for him to slow down I couldn’t see, then about 2 months passed, I broke FREE and had to learn to walk again like a NEW BORN BABY DEER! The coolest but scariest time of my life!
