There is hope for you, therefore don’t panic. Don’t quit and don’t give up.

Humanly speaking, some situations are considered hopeful, some are considered doubtful and some are considered hopeless.

Whether your situation is considered doubtful or hopeless, there’s still hope for you.

ANY PROOF? YES

-          There is hope for you because you’re still alive

-          There is hope for you because the God we serve is a God of possibility – Luke 1:37, Luke 18:37, Jeremiah 32:27.

-          There is hope for you because you have confessed it : Sometimes confession provokes possession – Proverbs 18:21, Numbers 14:28^b

-          Visitation 3: Jesus visited them on their way to the cemetery; he touched the coffin and the content arose.
