Hope works in the mind. Hope will not produce the thing desired, but it is very important. Many that are sick come to be prayed for because they hope to be healed.
Hope will not heal them, but it will cause them to come for prayer. Hope is really a goal-setter.
Many people have hope in their heart, where faith should be, and faith in their head where hope should be. Hope works through the intellect. Even though a person is born again, he must renew his mind to the Word of God in order to keep his goals in line with God’s goals.
Faith, the substance of things, works out of the heart (the inner man, the spirit man). The heart, which Jesus called the soil, will produce the very thing that is planted in it.
Paul wrote, Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Rom. 12:2). He wrote these words to the Roman church, who were born-again. If they needed to renew their minds, so do we.
Hope works out of the head; faith out of the heart.
Hope has no substance; it is only a goal-setter! There is some power in the mental realm, but it is only a goal-setter! It is the spiritual man-the heart of the unit that will produce the thing you dial (plant) in it.
Sometimes in the spiritual realm, we try to get faith to work out of the head, when all the head can do is set the goal.
The Bible says faith works in the heart. With the goal-setter in your head, begin to renew your mind to what God said: “Blessed be God! I’m redeemed from the curse of the Law, delivered from the powers of darkness, translated into the Kingdom of the dear Son of God. Because I have given, it is given unto me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.”
Dial your goal-setter to prosperity and keep it there. It will send an impulse to your heart, the production center.
