Devo Messages of hope and a future Part 5
Revelation 21:1-7 King James Version (KJV) 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. The word is the deposit or earnest on receiving this. Enough said. Praise God almighty! Pastor Jeff Lane

Devo Messages of hope and a future Part 4
2 Timothy 1:14 New International Version (NIV) 14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Hide the word in your heart and let nothing steal it. It is a deposit that brings forth the promise of better things to come. When Peter got his eyes on the storm and off the word of Jesus he sank like a rock. We must stand firm in our faith or not stand at all. Even so remembered when Peter cried out to the Lord he saved Him in his lack of faith.

The Holy Spirit gives us that peace that passes all understanding as we know that God is able, and willing and does bless us beyond anything that we could ask or think. We may groan and feel burdened by this life we have, but then He gives us a glimpse into glory of what is to come by fulfilling a promise on this side. We are all going to die, but He heals us, so we know He has not forsaken us. It is a deposit of better things to come. Pastor Jeff Lane Devo Messages of hope and a future Part 2
Jeremiah 29:11-13 New International Version (NIV) 11 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 hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I think most all of us have those times when we feel the future is bleak at best. We feel we will never get out of debt, always be sick, never marry, when will God use us, and so many other things we may stop hoping for. Can you image Abraham and Sarah waiting for a baby at 99 and 89? Babies are the future. Get pregnant with God’s word. Mary did and look at how the future of that is still bringing hope. She didn’t doubt God’s word but believed in her heart and the future became reality. Promises made became substance in her life. God has a future for you if you will seek Him and then you’ll find Him. He comes not to condemn but to save. Call on Jesus for whatever you need Him for and don’t let go till you get it.
