I have been thinking about hope lately.  It makes you want to live for that happiness, you get from that thing.  So I just keep adding on to the list, of the things I still hope for…..

Hope is a wonderful thing.  It encourages you, it inspires you, it motivates you, to even get up, and just live your life.  Without hope, life can be hard.  It can be very discouraging, to even try.

When I first started in my ministry, and I began writing.  I began writing Prayers of Hope.  Or a Message of Hope.  I just wanted to inspire someone, because I know God.  And so I would write poems, and different messages, with a prayer, but always with the foundation of scripture to give that true hope.  Because to be honest, Gods word, always has given me hope.  These are seeds I have planted.  

I have always hoped in God.  And as I continue even writing here, I pray you have hope.  And more then anything in God.  

I have hoped to fulfill many things in my life, and I find even at this place in my life.  I have had hope in doing things, but they did not always bear fruit.  

When I was a young woman, I loved to sing.  And in fact, I pursued that for a while.  I even made a 45 record, with my own money, and hired my friends who were musicians, and a recording studio to make the tape.  Then I paid for the records to be manufactured.  I have quite a few left.  But, I had pursued this because I wanted a dream to come true, I had “hope” in it.  

Well, long story short, that never worked out.  And to be honest, I did not like the lifestyle of being in bars, to be heard.  So there went that hope.  No one discovered me, and no one cared, if I sang or not.  So I gave up my hope.

For many years, I worked in the business corporate world.  I learned computers, I learned business, and it gave me an opportunity, to develop skills.  Skills I later applied to my writing, and learning of computers.  But I never had hope in working in the corporate world.

When I got married, I worked for a while.  But it was such a hardship, on our son, who needed me, to take care of him.  So I quit working.  No one can take better care of your child then you.  But I still had hope.  

It has been tough, I have not worked for over 26 years about.  But I began pursuing my writing for the Lord.  I felt, like it was my calling.  To bring truth, to inspire others, with Gods word, to have hope.  In writing. In being an author.  But an author, who has not seen a profit.  

Sometimes, when I look back, I see the progress in my own life.  How I have grown in Gods word, how it ministers to me, and it gives me hope.  In many ways, nothing has changed.  I have written two books, in paper, as books to hold, and one electronically.  But no one has seen my potential.  No one, has tried to help me.  No one has used their knowledge, to help me.  So my hope in people has dwindled, in many ways.  

I still have hope that God will open a door for me, but if he does not, I just try to be grateful for what I have.  And I believe I have a lot.

Family is so important.  Love, unity, and just understanding of who God is, always gives me hope.

Not everybody, understands my mission, or my desire, and for those that do, I so appreciate any kind of help, or referrals I get in my ministry.

But as I conclude here, I just want you to see, and be careful that if you need hope, you can find it in God.  Be careful, of people who may even be well intending people, but who may not see your vision, or see your hope in accomplishing something.  

They can steal that from you…..  Don’t let them!  Don’t let the devil interfere with your hope.  When people steal others hopes, by discouraging someone, the devil is in that.  

Sometimes, all a person has, is hope.  Hope to do something great, or hope to build something, or accomplish a task.  And when people do not support one another, it is sad, that it makes one feel worthless.  

I have fought those feelings, and stayed on course, but my hope is in God not in people.

I have always tried to instill that in my son.  To have hope.  To see his potential.  To be careful not to dash his hopes and dreams.  To remind him, he can do anything through Christ.  You see, I did not have that growing up, that encouragement.  But I try to give it to my son.  Even now.

So, I want to emphasize to you how important it is to have hope.  And to hold onto that dream.  To go for it, even if you feel old.  Even if you have no money.  Even if doors do not open.  Even if everyone says, it won’t happen.  I think of the Man of La Mancha, his story so inspired me.  To dream the impossible dream……

Sometimes, my hopes and dreams help me live.  As I live for God.  I pray, my dreams still come true.  They may or may not.  But I will not let go of dreaming, that some day, I will be a success in the sight of God and others.  That my hard work, paid off, maybe I will see it on earth, but I pray I see it in heaven.

But I will not let anyone steal my hope.  I hold onto it with all my might.  And draw strength from God in prayer, in His holy promises.  In my own ability and gift and callings.  I hold onto my hopes.  There are so many.  I pray they bear fruit.  To give God glory.  As long as God gives me breath, I will hope in the Lord.  

Here is a key, of hope, I share with you.  I wrote it a few days ago.  But when I did, I felt Gods sweet inspiration, and that just did something to my own hope.  

The key to hope? Inspiration.
Give it, and receive it, you see the beauty of it. It will stimulate you, prompt you, motivate you, and give you a desire.
If that desire is to give God glory, you have also inspired God.

AND NOW LORD, WHAT WAIT I FOR? MY HOPE IS IN THEE….
PSALM 39:7

I HAVE FAITH I CAN HAVE MIRACLES ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

The first time, I remember God answering a prayer, was when I said a prayer, and it was raining. But the sun was shining. Well I am saying a prayer now, as it snows, and the sun is shining. Miracles can happen. But it requires faith. I know some secret principles, to how to have faith, that just may help you get your miracles. Order my book today. http://howtohavefaith.wordpress.com

I woke up different today.  I woke up, with a new hope, for miracles.  I thought to myself, I wrote a book about “HOW TO HAVE FAITH MY SECRET PRINCIPLES OF FAITH WITH A TRUE AND LIVING GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

To be honest, I have to give glory to God in this, because He spoke it to my heart.

So I have faith, but whats next?

Miracles!

They can happen!  Oh I know, that I know the key is in my faith.  To having miracles.  I know that I know, miracles, are not just an illusion, of some sort.  No they are real.  Its my inspiration, to get me on another road….maybe for you too.  As we walk through life.  We need inspiration to know, it can happen!

Miracles, happen every day!  Sometimes, we don’t hear of them, and sometimes, we just take them for granted.  But they are meant to give glory to God.

That’s my goal in life that I know, that I know it.  I am meant to give glory to God.  Things are not always easy for me.  But that is in my heart, to give God glory, and that makes it easy.  For miracles….

You see, knowing who I am, from my conception, I am a miracle!  I was not supposed to be born. Long story short, my mother took measures to not have any children.  Not just precautions, she had an operation!  But my dad prayed for me. And I was conceived, and born.  The doctors were in shock! So I am here, and thats a miracle.  God made that easy….

Miracles, can happen.  And this is what I want you to see.  Knowing, sometimes, we can get in a funk, and get depressed, get distracted, to think this is it, it cannot change!  But it can!

Oh dear friends, I know, what it is like to get like that.  I know what its like to feel trapped, and think, it will never be different.  Whatever it is.  Sometimes, we get a report, that seems so final.  Something from a doctor, or even our own negative thinking. So we limit ourselves, by what reality is.  NO!  We have to change that kind of “stinking thinking.”

We have to see if we believe, in Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, that He told us, we would do great things…..He is our savior!  And as our savior, He taught us, and showed us miracles!  Think of all the miracles He did!  The Bible says, He did so many, that they are not even numbered, or recorded!

All I know right now, more then ever!  I am holding onto the hope of miracles.  I am holding onto the dear Lord.  I am holding onto His promises!  God does not lie.  Man does, people do!  That is why, I am so adamant to have a pure holy word, to claim, as that promise, from the King James Bible.

I want my miracles in tact!  I don’t want anything blocking that miracle.  And if it means I use a pure holy word, that is anointed, that may even sound archaic in sound.  I am using it!  I love my King James Bible. I don’t want anything to change my miracle, that I can have.  I know the scriptures and I know, that if I don’t know something in the scriptures, the Holy Spirit can reveal it to me.  Interpret it for me.  I don’t know how many times, I just opened my Holy Bible, God spoke to me.  But I had my part.  I remember when He showed me discrepancies from other Bibles, and I saw, how the devil lies!

Wow!  You know, I am just going to keep this short and sweet for now.  But I want to close with this thought!  Rewire your heart, your mind, you thoughts, by believing in miracles!  Like a computer you can be reprogrammed.

Miracles can happen!  I have Faith, I wrote my book about Faith….knowing, I had it.  But you know, God leads us, step by step.  And He led me to today, to say…..

Miracles can happen! I am focusing on that.  If your interested in getting my book, to find maybe even one thing, in there that will activate your miracles, please check out this link.

http://howtohavefaith.wordpress.com and order my book.

Be encouraged my friends!  Be encouraged and don’t give up hope.  No matter what you have done, and you think you have blown it, or missed a chance.  God can turn it around.  God can make a way, where there was no way!  HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND LIFE!  John 14:6.

All we have to do is come to our Lord!  Humble ourselves, repent….Ask for wisdom, ask for guidance.  Ask Him for that miracle!  Tell Him, you know He can do it.  Tell Him you align yourself to His truth, and denounce the enemy, in any part of your life!  Submit to God! Resist that devil, and he will flee.

God will give it to you, to show you that miracle!  Or to prove Himself Mighty!  He is almighty God, and I praise Him!  Glory to His holy name!

Don’t let the world, or the devil, or the reality of something tell you it cannot change.  It can!  Have faith!  Have hope….Stir yourself up.  Get in your King James Bible read His promises!  Claim them!  Get my book.  Give hope to someone else, let it be an epidemic.

What you do for others, can be returned to you.  Tell someone, miracles can happen.  Tell them you have faith for them.  Tell them, love.  Love never fails!

It is a principle….there are many secret principles.  And love is one of them…I know a few of them.  And I know, with new hope today….that I have hope I can have miracles!  So can you!

The following scriptures, are the first recorded mention of “miracles” that I want you to see.  From my concordance.  But in giving glory to God, I want you to see His heart, and what He said about it, and what offended Him.  These kind of things can stop our miracles.  For it is sin, it is iniquity in His eyes.  Let us strive to please our Lord, for miracles.  Be blessed, as you read these scriptures.  I pray for the body of Christ to see  their miracles.  To give God glory…..

Numbers 14:18-24

The Lord is long suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and four generation.  Pardon I beseech Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy mercy, and as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.  And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:  But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.  Because all those men which have seen My glory, and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice; Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it.  But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into this land whereinto he went and his seed shall possess it.

Friends, as I close, hearken to the voice of our Lord.  Pray your spirit, is right before Him. Follow Him completely.  He is the way…Yes and always give Him glory!

Love you all in Christ, Just my thoughts today,
