Good morning. Welcome to Victoria’s faith. I’m cherry Campbell. This morning, I’m going to begin sharing with you a short teaching that I gave in one of our victorious faith services called Faith, Hope and Joy. So join me now in our live service for Part 1 of this message, faith, hope and joy. So we’re going to talk about.
00:00:21 Cherri Campbell
Hope and expecting tonight. So we give in faith now. If you’ve been joining us, you know that before we receive the offering, we always share the word. Because how does faith come?
00:00:34 Cherri Campbell
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So before we give, we hear the word so that we’re ready to give in faith because it’s when you give in faith that you can expect the harvest and the reward and and God working for you and through you and your finances in your life.
00:00:55 Cherri Campbell
And for your family and everything you need, Hallelujah. Glory to God.
00:01:00 Cherri Campbell
So we’re looking at the word tonight. So we’re gonna give in faith, but we also receive in faith, and we’re gonna talk about receiving Hebrews 11/1 says now, faith is the substance that word is actually an old English word in the King James. But we can actually see it.
00:01:21 Cherri Campbell
Sub.
00:01:22 Cherri Campbell
Stance stance is standing sub is below or underneath and the literal meaning of that word in the Greek New Testament, the New Testament was written in Greek. It is actually foundation. It is that which something stands on.
00:01:42 Cherri Campbell
It’s a foundation, and so substance is the foundation.
00:01:47 Cherri Campbell
The substance, the foundation faith, is the foundation of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen now. What is hope? It’s the Greek word El Pizzo, and it means to wait with joy.
00:02:07 Cherri Campbell
And full confidence to wait with joy and full confidence.
00:02:13 Cherri Campbell
Are you waiting?
00:02:15 Cherri Campbell
For your answer with joy, or are you getting impatient and impatience produces grumpiness and grouchiness? I don’t want to wait.
00:02:24 Cherri Campbell
More well, if you’re grumpy and grouchy, you’re not in faith or in hope because in hope you wait in joy, happy and dance and.
00:02:34 Cherri Campbell
Praise the Lord.
00:02:35 Cherri Campbell
It’s coming and full confidence, confident expectation you are fully confident that what you are believing for is?
00:02:45 Cherri Campbell
Coming it’s on its way. Hallelujah. Confident expectation.
00:02:51 Cherri Campbell
And happy anticipation. All right, let’s think of something to be happy. Anticipation. Christmas dinner. Thanksgiving dinner. Especially when you start smelling all the wonderful aromas of the Turkey. The dressing, the pies, maybe chocolate chip cookies.
00:03:11 Cherri Campbell
Or something like that, and then your mouth starts watering and the children are looking forward to opening the presents with. What are they sad? Are they depressed? Are they scared? No.
00:03:22 Cherri Campbell
Happy anticipation, because they know something good is coming. Why else would you have happy anticipation? Unless you know that something good is coming now that points out, let me point out to you that what is the opposite of hope? Hope is expecting.
00:03:42 Cherri Campbell
Good.
00:03:43 Cherri Campbell
Dread is expecting bad dread and fear. Dread and fear are expecting bad things. You’re dreading it. Ohh no, this is going to be bad. Well, we don’t have dread. We have hope because we expect it to be good.
00:04:03 Cherri Campbell
All that God has for us, every good and perfect gift is from the father. He daily loads us with benefits. Amen. And so he is always doing good. So we have happy anticipation which is hope and we’re happy about it because we know what’s coming is what good.
00:04:22 Cherri Campbell
And then and then it’s a strange expectancy. So think of those children and they expect Grandma and Grandpa to come driving up in the driveway, and they keep running. Look out the window and stretching their head. Is that damn. Ohh, I just heard a car. They heard a car they run out. Is that them?
00:04:36 Cherri Campbell
Let them strained expectancy looking. I think it’s coming. Ohh, they’re just coming right over the hill. There. That’s Jane expectancy because they know someone is coming or, you know, something is coming. So you’re looking with an outstretched neck. I know it’s coming. It must be right around the corner.
00:04:57 Cherri Campbell
There there I can.
00:04:58 Cherri Campbell
See it that strained expectancy is hope and then watching with that stretched head. What was I doing? I’m looking when you’re straining, expecting you’re stretching out your neck, looking, watching without stretched head and another definition of hope is the vision. It’s the picture.
00:05:19 Cherri Campbell
It’s the image, it’s the dream.
00:05:24 Cherri Campbell
Of what you are expecting, you’re seeing it or you’re smelling it. I mean, the aroma of the cookies. And yeah, they’re in the oven. You can’t see them or taste them, but in your mind, you can see them in in your mouth. You can almost taste them. They’re not there yet. Right now, it’s just.
00:05:42 Cherri Campbell
A figment of your imagination, but it’s so real because you are so expectant of that coming. Those delicious chocolate chip cookies. Or apple pie or whatever your cinnamon rolls. Whatever you like to smell.
00:05:58 Cherri Campbell
That you can smell it, and while it’s in the oven, you can’t see it. It’s baking, you know it’s coming. You know, it’s getting ready. You can’t see it. You can’t touch it, you can’t taste it. But you know it’s coming. It’s almost there. And so in your mind, you can see it in in your mouth. You can almost taste it. Well, that’s the vision.
00:06:18 Cherri Campbell
The the picture, the image or the dream of what God has promised you. I mean, if it’s a new home, you, you actually, you do need to.
00:06:28 Cherri Campbell
Do put up pictures of what you’re dreaming for. If you’re dreaming for a new home, then put a picture up on your refrigerator. I’ve done it and it worked. I’ve done it and it worked. And a car. I did it and it worked. I got it within a year. Just a few years ago.
00:06:48 Cherri Campbell
No, I was living in one place and I wanted to upgrade and I put a picture on my refrigerator of something similar to what I wanted to upgrade to and within a year I got it and at the same time I put a picture of a car, a nicer car than I had on the refrigerator.
00:07:08 Cherri Campbell
And at that, at the same time, I put them up with the fridge and about at the same time, about 11 months later.
00:07:14 Cherri Campbell
11 and 12 months later, I got both of those, but all year I was laying my hand on it and saying thank you, Lord, this is my vision. This is what I believe I receive. And you know in Habaka too, we talked about this many times that in January, especially the beginning of the year to write the vision and make it plain on tablets so that those can run.
00:07:35 Cherri Campbell
With it, who read it? Well, that’s going to be you. And you need to be able to run with it, but you need to have it written and have a picture of it. And so I’ve heard of people having vision boards, and that’s a perfectly good thing to do. And I’ve made my refrigerator door into a vision.
00:07:52 Cherri Campbell
Forward and put things on there that I’m believing for and so that I can lay my hand on and say thank you, Lord, I believe I receive, but I claim that I have it now in Jesus name in the picture of it puts a picture, an image in my mind of what I’m laying hold of with my face. And so you need a picture.
00:08:14 Cherri Campbell
So words are good, but if you can get a picture, it’ll even. Well, they even say a picture is.
00:08:20 Cherri Campbell
Worth 1000 words.
00:08:22 Cherri Campbell
So maybe you.
00:08:22 Cherri Campbell
Need a healing?
00:08:23 Cherri Campbell
Well, maybe get a picture of you in perfect health. Maybe it was 10 years ago. Before you know when, when you were younger, it might have been 10 years ago, but sometime when you were in perfect health, put a picture of you in front of your eyes.
00:08:41 Cherri Campbell
To see yourself that way again.
00:08:45 Cherri Campbell
That you don’t see yourself with the problem you have now. The weakness, the illness, the pain or the injury that you have now. Now you see yourself and you keep that picture of you in excellent condition in front of your eyes. Maybe you were even doing something physically active.
00:09:04 Cherri Campbell
And you were showing your strength, maybe it a park playing or running a race or playing a sport or something. Get a picture of you.
00:09:14 Cherri Campbell
You being perfectly healthy and doing something active and then put it on your refrigerator on your bathroom near where you will see it all the time and let that picture get burned into your mind so you don’t see what you are. Now you see that and that. That is what your faith is building, I believe I received that.
00:09:38 Cherri Campbell
And, you know, face says I’m not looking at what I see.
00:09:40 Cherri Campbell
Now that’s what Abraham did. Romans 4 says he’d considered not his body now dead, or Sarah and her dead womb. But he expected and believed those promises that God had said to him that he would be the father of many nations. And he changed his name to the father of many nations. So if you have to change your name, I’ve heard of people doing that.
00:10:02 Cherri Campbell
Too I’ve heard of people changing their names. I mean, one man, he was called Jerry Newhart because he needed a new heart, and he called himself Jerry Newhart. The doctor said your, your heart’s just worn out. It’s it’s just worn out. You need a new heart. And guess what? He got it.
00:10:21 Cherri Campbell
He got it.
00:10:23 Cherri Campbell
It manifested he got a new heart after he stood in faith and his family stood with him and they believed God, and some months later he went back to the doctor and the doctor took the test. Said. Your heart is like it’s brand new.
00:10:36 Cherri Campbell
And the medical records showed that he had a new heart. So call yourself what you desire to be healed. Prosperous. A successful business person, maybe a CEO or a manager or some promotion that you desire.
00:10:53 Cherri Campbell
Higher. Owning your own business, whatever you want to be or do or have, call yourself that and call yourself. Having that and that is the picture, the image of what your faith begins to work to build. So when you have hope.
00:11:13 Cherri Campbell
Your faith has a project, see. Faith is the force that builds what you are dreaming and visioning. Faith goes to work, but if there’s no dream, no, no vision, how can your faith build anything?
00:11:32 Cherri Campbell
You know, with no blueprint, a builder cannot build a building. Faith cannot build anything without a vision of what to build. So when you have hope, a vision, a picture, an image of what you want to be do and have be.
00:11:52 Cherri Campbell
Do have write them down, put a picture of them up on your refrigerator and let your faith go to work. I believe I received that. I claim that I have that it.
00:12:04 Cherri Campbell
Mine in Jesus name and then pull out scriptures. Go through the word of God scriptures that promise you what you are believing for that are many many many many specific promises for healing, finances, family, children, marriage, homes, jobs, vehicles, everything. And then there are many just general.
00:12:24 Cherri Campbell
Promises like whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it and it shall be yours is whatever. Whatever. Yes.
00:12:36 Cherri Campbell
And Jesus said if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you ask, whatever does whatever mean what?
00:12:43 Cherri Campbell
Sure, whatever you wish. And it would be done. Now that says it has to be started in the word. The word paints the picture. The word gives the promises.
00:12:54 Cherri Campbell
What you just heard was Part 1 of a short teaching that I gave in one of our victorious faith services called Faith, Hope and Joy, and we will continue and conclude this message again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
