How To Receive God's Wisdom and Power

To keep your hope alive, it has to be fueled by God's wisdom and power. You can do this by connecting spiritually with God to allow his Holy Spirit to indwell your soul, thus creating a link between you and God for divine wisdom and power to flow into your mind and body.

With God's wisdom, you can discern the difference between truth and falsehood, and be encouraged to choose the truth. The power of God, on the other hand, gives you the ability to put the truth into action in your life.

Upon receiving God's wisdom and power, you can use them to give physical form to the things you hope for by your thought and action.

By thinking you are allowing God's wisdom to flow into your thought to produce a plan of action. By acting you are allowing God's power to flow into your arms and legs to move you into action to give physical form to the things you hope for.

Faith without action is dead. It will not have the animating force to transform your hope into the material things you need for peace and comfort in your life.

As the physical person's belief in God is at its strongest when he receives from God what is hoped for, its important to know that the materialization of hope is made possible by the faith process. A process by which we connect with God in spirit, using God's wisdom to gather all the relevant information pertaining to the object of hope, and using God's power to act upon that information to give physical form to what we hope for.

Still, we should guide against becoming disappointed when we do not immediately receive what we hope for, because in his infinite wisdom, God knows when it is right to give us what we hope for, while at the same time, removing from our path those events that may cause us pain or tragedy.

Furthermore, when our hopes are materialized in God's time, we receive results that exceed our expectations, because they are those which our souls see, which far exceed what the human mind can imagine.

However, be mindful that hope can produce either negative or positive result. How you can discern the source of hope is by examining the effects of its product.

If the product of hope produces enhancement in the quality of human lives, and refines our character toward the truth then hope is positive, but when it corrupts and debases our character toward evil, we can be sure it is negative, and should be avoided.
