The Bible Doctrine of Hope, Part 1

Hope is such a positive word, and yet in English, it is often used anemically — more like a wish: "I hope my package comes today." This is far beneath the New Testament definition of hope, which is comprised of three indispensable elements: Patience, confidence, and expectation. The reason it's so powerful is, it is grounded in faith that is founded on the Word of God. It is actually the second stage of faith!

Praying the prayer of faith begins the process once you have laid claim to a promise in God's Word. But when there is a delay, as there often is, you can cast away your confidence and fail to receive the reward of your faith. This is where hope comes into play: that patient, confident expectation of the fulfillment of the promise. Hope is the anchor of the soul that makes a believer's faith in God's promises unsinkable. It is so rich that the rapture of the church is called the Blessed Hope, and every believer knows this is not a wish or an uncertain expectation!

When the New Testament writers want to define the love of God, they point to the cross. But when they want to define the power of God, they point to the empty tomb. But God's ultimate power exceeded the raising of Jesus from the dead after three days, because others have been raised from the dead. He not only raised Him out of the tomb, but He raised Him "Far above ALL principality and power and might and dominion, and above every name that is named, in this world and in the age to come"!

Scripture commands us: "Open your mouths for the cause of those who have no voice and who are appointed to destruction." Unborn babies whose mothers have a mark on the calendar--not for the day of their births, but for their appointments with the abortionist, are appointed for destruction. They have no voice, and we must open our mouths for them. Pro-Choice is an euphemism for Pro-Death. Abortion is tantamount to child sacrifice in the Old Testament, and God hated it. He forbid Israel to partake of it, and any who did was to be put to death. But that's not all: God said those who witnessed child sacrifice and looked the other way and did nothing, He would also judge. God not only will judge those who provide and have abortions, He will judge His people if we fail to lift our voices on behalf of the aborted ones!

About Sharon Hardy Knotts and R. G. Hardy

R.G. Hardy is the Pastor of Faith Tabernacle in Baltimore, Maryland which he founded in 1958. He was marvelously saved after a personal encounter with the Lord in the living room of his home in January 1953, and was called into a prophetic teaching ministry. Shortly before he had been miraculously healed of a crippling back injury. Since these events, R.G. Hardy Ministries has broadened the scope of its outreaches through daily radio broadcasts, television, evangelistic crusades, Gospel publications, and missionary crusades and support.

For more than 50 years, R.G. Hardy has been recognized by the calling of a powerful prophetic anointing and message of salvation, diving healing, and deliverance through the authority of the Name of Jesus. By this anointing of power, he has demonstrated the message of the Gospel with signs following as God confirms His Word through the resurrection power of His son, Jesus Christ. Through the years, Brother Hardy hosted many of the crusades for the healing evangelists of the 1950's and 1960's. He has a rich heritage founded in the Pentecostal movement. Many ministers have received early training under his leadership and revelation anointing that is manifested when he ministers. In this world of compromise, R.G. Hardy has not compromised the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has and still is "earnestly contending for the faith of our fathers."

Sharon Hardy Knotts is the daughter of R.G. & Doranne Hardy. She has served alongside of her parents in ministry at Faith Tabernacle Church, Baltimore, Maryland since childhood. Sharon was baptized in the Holy Spirit at age 7 in an old-fashioned tent revival, where she was slain in the Spirit, speaking in tongues. She began "preaching" in youth services at age 9, and began traveling with her father in evangelistic meetings at age 13.

Like her father and grandmother before her (Mother Mary Hardy), Sharon is an avid student of the Bible and holds a Master's in Theology from CLST, Columbus, Georgia. She is an accomplished teacher of the Word and also an anointed preacher. The marriage of these different delivery styles has produced scores of ministry tapes on various pertinent topics, which appeal to many believers.

Sharon and her husband Benny serve in fulltime ministry at R.G. Hardy Ministries. He prints Faith Is Action and oversees its publication and distribution. Family: Three grown children, Scott & Todd Stubblefield, and Sarah Knotts. Daughters-in-laws: Corinne & Amy Stubblefield. Grandsons: Noah & Matthew Stubblefield are Scott's sons. Sharon especially enjoys writing and serves as Editor of Faith Is Action and other Ministry publications. She also writes essays and poetry, some of which can be found on her blog.
