Hope That Anchors Your Soul (Full Sermon) | Joseph Prince

Something about our our flesh. You know, can believe in a God who judges, we cannot believe in a God who blesses. Of all, our faith is not so strong. We tend to believe the negative side than the positive side. Amen. Christians sometimes come to me and you know, down through the years, I counseled people before who said that, but pastor, when I pray, right, I don't feel like God hear my prayer. I said that, please don't misunderstand me, yeah, when I say this. If right now I tell you to say something bad about God, blaspheme God, will you do it? Why? Oh, hear me. So something about the flesh is that we we are more inclined towards the negative. [00:14:28] (61 seconds)  #TrustGodsGoodness

So regardless of what happened in 2026, have a positive expectation of good in your future. We are more inclined towards the negative. The nature of the flesh is your thoughts become dark, depressive, worst case scenario. You see all the burdens and the heaviness and the worries and cares. The world will say, don't raise your hopes. The Bible says hope is an anchor of the soul. The anchor holds. It seems God loves people who have hope. They're like a rock. They stand against all the storm. Instead of seeing ourselves as being consumed by this trouble, just know it's bread for you. It's gonna make you strong. (50 seconds)  #HopeIsAnAnchor

And so after he had patiently endured, that means there's a process. He didn't get it immediately the next night. Of course, like, it's a son, you cannot get immediately the next night. You all know. Right? After he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Now I love this. Men indeed swear by the greater and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. So if you and I are arguing about something, especially involving money, okay, we can argue until the cows come home, you know. But one of the ways that we can stop the argument, and it's a win win situation, is that we have a binding agreement. It's an oath. Alright? So for for men, an oath is the end of all dispute.

You know who did that? It's not always the devil. Yeah, he has a part to play as well, but usually it's the flesh. You need to know the nature of your flesh. I got good news for you. The Bible says, however, Romans eight, you are not in the flesh, but you are in the Spirit if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But most Christians don't think of themselves as being in the in the Spirit. They think of themselves as being in the flesh. Amen. So God is telling you, now you must know. Once you're a child of God, you are in the Spirit. Now, does not mean that you have lost the flesh. The flesh is still there. It will still suggest you things. Amen. But learn to live in the spirit.
