Beckoning Hope – Dyed4you Art

Beckoning Hope reminds us the Lover of our souls awaits us with hand outstretched, a steadfast invitation to intimacy with Him—an invitation to hope. He has poured out His heart in the love letter that is His Word. His Holy Spirit resides in us and leads us as we yield to God’s loving flow.

  • Colossians 1:27 (TPT) Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!
  • Ephesians 3:20 (TPT) Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.

A post by Meghan Williams from MeghanW.com is connected to this. It’s called “Generous Love.”

After the passing of my third pup in my adult years, I find myself pondering what I remember most about my sweet furry guys, and it’s their generous love. Would that we all would walk as they did. 

  • Loving well
  • Forgiving quickly 
  • Choosing closeness to the Master
  • Boundless hope
  • Living in the moment 
  • Embracing joy
  • Trusting unconditionally 

May we strive to walk in a similar fashion. May we love God well, forgive offenses, choosing to be with the One who created us, be steadfast in hope, live each moment without being stuck on the past or the future, embrace joy, and trust God completely.

Connected to this is a series of Prophetic Nuggets from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams that are connected by scripture / theme. It is a series of three Prophetic Nuggets based on Romans 5:3-5 (VOICE):

And that’s not all. We also celebrate in seasons of suffering because we know that when we suffer we develop endurance, which shapes our characters. When our characters are refined, we learn what it means to hope and anticipate God’s goodness. And hope will never fail to satisfy our deepest need because the Holy Spirit that was given to us has flooded our hearts with God’s love.

The first Prophetic Nugget is called “Embrace the Endurance.”

Romans 5:3 (VOICE) And that’s not all. We also celebrate in seasons of suffering because we know that when we suffer we develop endurance, which shapes our characters.

Beloved, embrace the endurance that trials cultivate. Celebrate the growth to your character that times of hardship inevitably bring. Suffering is unpleasant, but refuse to allow the pain to be wasted. Instead allow it to bring forth beauty in you.

In the same way that uncomfortable pressure and heat cause carbon to become a diamond – something both beautiful and strong, so your times of testing, when embraced, can bring forth a brilliance of character that is worth the pain. 

The second Prophetic Nugget is called “Anticipate My Goodness.”

Romans 5:4 (VOICE) When our characters are refined, we learn what it means to hope and anticipate God’s goodness.

Beloved, in times of trial, cling to hope. Stand fast in the knowledge of who I AM. For you know that I AM faithful, and you know that I AM good. Knowing these truths gives you hope both that I will bring you through the hardship, and that I will create beauty from the brokenness it brings.

So anticipate My goodness. Remind yourself of the truth of who I AM – of My character. Refuse to be moved by earthly circumstance, and instead be firmly rooted in unshakable hope. For the One you hope in is faithful.

The third Prophetic Nugget is called “Allow My Hope to Satisfy.”

Romans 5:5 (VOICE) And hope will never fail to satisfy our deepest need because the Holy Spirit that was given to us has flooded our hearts with God’s love.

Beloved, allow My hope to satisfy the deepest cravings of your heart. I AM intensely aware of your longings. As you choose to delight in Me, My Spirit will be at work in your heart. And those longings will be satisfied – either in their fulfillment or simply because your longings will change as you are transformed by My Spirit.

So embrace Me. Allow the rushing waves of My love to wash over you. No trial or trick of the enemy can keep you from My love. Only you can turn away, so refuse to allow anything to tempt you to do so. Be nourished and refreshed by My love and find your joy in Me.

A prophetic download called “Dawning Hope” from Elisa Eaton of Waiting in the Wings is connected to this.

One day, the LORD dropped the word “hope” into my spirit, and He brought to mind a sunrise over the sea. “Hope is like the sunrise,” He told me. Ever since that moment, He has been steadily teaching me what it means to truly place our hope in Him.

In Hebrew, tikvah, means “hope, expectation, ground of hope, or things or an outcome hoped for.” To hope in the LORD is look to Him with expectation that He will be our answer, our captain, or our champion in any matter. We wait upon Him and Him alone to move in our circumstances. This hope is very similar to holding on through a dark and stormy night. Somehow, we know that when dawn breaks, everything will be all right. The night may be unbearably long and difficult, but we are sustained by the fact that dawn will come and with it relief. Dawn will not tarry; the sun will not change it’s mind and fail to rise. It is constant in it’s course.

Even more than the sun, our God is faithful. Whether the season of waiting we face is in our personal lives or in the larger plan for all of Creation, Yeshua (Jesus), the Son of God, will come to us right on time. The night may be unbearably long and the storm may be difficult, but God will sustain all who place their hope in Him. In the midst of that stormy night, we find that deep cries out to deep; the depths of our being cries out to the depths of God. His strength and grace carry us through the turbulence and darkness until the time comes for dawn to break.

Connected to this is another series of Prophetic Nuggets from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams that are connected by scripture / theme. It is a series of six Prophetic Nuggets based on Psalm 37:3-9 (TPT) 

Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness. Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun. Quiet your heart in his presence and pray; keep hope alive as you long for God to come through for you. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked in their prosperity are better off than you. Stay away from anger and revenge. Keep envy far from you, for it only leads you into lies. For one day the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will live safe and sound with blessings overflowing.

The first Prophetic Nugget is called “Overflow with Joyous Trust.

Psalm 37:3 (TPT) Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness.

Beloved, one who is loved need not walk in fear. So allow your heart to overflow with joyous trust as you rest yourself in Me. Know that I will always do what is right, and I AM faithful to you. I AM El Aman – the faithful God, and I delight in My beloved. 

So fix your heart on Me, and refuse to be dismayed. No storm or trial is enough to pull you from My gaze. My eyes are ever on you – you are beautiful to Me. I AM forever steadfast. So find your foundation in Me.

The second Prophetic Nugget is called “Take Delight in Me.”

Psalm 37:4 (TPT) Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most.

Beloved, take delight in Me – the lover of your soul. Make Me your holy obsession, and trust the rest to Me. Pursue Me like the greatest of rewards. Seek Me like the choicest of treasures. Fill your heart and mind so full of Me that nothing can distract your gaze. 

I delight in blessing My beloved. Just as a surprise gift from your best friend is uncannily perfect for you – even when you had not even voiced the desire it, so I long to bless you in large ways and small with the things I know that will touch your heart. Simply focus on Me, and leave Me to know your desires and to meet them in My perfect timing.

The third Prophetic Nugget is called “Trust, Yield, and Obey.

Psalm 37:5 (TPT) Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!

Beloved, cede control to Me. You don’t need to worry – not about choices, decisions, or plans, for I have a plan for you and it exceeds expectations, so trust in Me. 

Free yourself from the obligation of all the options that lay before you, and simply ask Me. Trust that I will lead you in the way that you should go. Trust, yield, and obey, beloved. For I AM faithful to the end.

The fourth Prophetic Nugget is called “You are Seen by Me.”

Psalm 37:6 (TPT) He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

Beloved, you are seen by Me. Trust that I AM your defender and I AM your light. I bring forth justice for My children – My eye is ever upon them. I AM your righteousness, YHVH Tsidkenu – the Lord your righteousness. 

You are the apple of My eye. Think you that I would stand idly by as you are accused or besmirched? Never. If it seems I hold My peace, trust that it is for a reason. You are never unseen or ignored, beloved, for you are precious to Me.

The fifth Prophetic Nugget is called “Stir the Hope Within You.”

Psalm 37:7 (TPT) Quiet your heart in his presence and pray; keep hope alive as you long for God to come through for you. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked in their prosperity are better off than you.

Beloved, stir the hope within you, and know I AM ever near. I will not leave you lonely, nor desert you when you are in need of My hand. I see you. I AM with you. Keep your heart steadfast in faith. 

Refuse to waste time in comparison, looking to see with earthly eyes and human understanding where My focus seems to be. Rather trust My heart towards you is steadfast and good, and know that I AM trustworthy and true. Encourage yourself in your faith as you put your hope in Me.

The sixth Prophetic Nugget is called “Trust My Sovereignty.”

Psalm 37:8-9 (TPT) Stay away from anger and revenge. Keep envy far from you, for it only leads you into lies. For one day the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will live safe and sound with blessings overflowing.

Beloved, hold fast to your heart of forgiveness. Be steadfast in gratitude. Refuse the traps of resentment and greed, instead resting in a place of contentment as you trust My sovereignty. 

For those who trust in Me will not be put to shame. No, they live safely wrapped in My loving arms – resting in the shadow of My wings. My blessings overtake them, and they rise up as if on eagle’s wings. How sweet the sleep of those who dwell with Me.

A prophetic download from Annette Fleenor is connected to this. It’s called “Trustworthy to Transform.”

I am trustworthy. I will not fail you. I am not fickle like man. I do not abandon you, or leave you without hope.  It is not in My nature. 

My child, look for Me at each step. Make every effort to seek Me. I am not far away from you – I’m closer than you think. It may not feel that way, but don’t go by your feelings, instead turn to the truth of who I am. 

You may wonder why must you go down this path. It’s often a hard journey, and the way is narrow. You may wonder why things can’t be easier. But as you walk it out, you are being transformed more and more into My character. You’re being made more like Me. I realize this can be challenging and that it requires deep trust. You must abandon your fears and continue to walk even when you can’t see the path ahead. But as you step out each time, you grow, and you become more and more like Me. You start to recognize My voice more quickly. You learn not to rely on your feelings but to check things in your spirit man. You exercise your spiritual senses more readily, especially when the way is dark. 

Yes, this can be stretching. Yes, at times the way seems impossible. But I always have a plan. It may look different than you thought, but remember your ways are not My ways. Your flesh may cry out and want to stop or appease itself or even withdraw, but I urge you not to do so.

Growth comes when you are willing to let go and let the Spirit inside you have control. This process brings you closer and closer to Me; that is Holy Spirit’s job. Refuse to hinder that process and instead yield to the flow, making the transition from glory to glory. Where you need compassion, I give compassion. Where you need mercy, I give mercy. Whatever the need, I am ready and able to supply. Even when you don’t know that you need that spiritual tuneup, I know, and I meet your need.

Remember the process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. It is a painstaking process and not easy. But what a reward when you are given your wings and truly fly, when you display the glory I have placed within you so others can see My goodness as you walk out that transformation power! Be a yielded vessel that is willing to be transformed by the Master’s hand. The first step is trusting Me because trusting Me makes the transformation possible. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 (CJB) Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him; then he will level your paths.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (CJB) So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit.

A final Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “The Power of My Breath.”

Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Beloved, never underestimate the power of My breath, for no death can prevail against My breath of life, My Holy Spirit. Refuse to allow your natural senses to mandate truth, and instead look to Me and seek My judgement. For I AM wise and merciful – abounding in love, and nothing is too hard for Me. 

Ask Me to breathe. Ask for My Holy Spirit to invade. Have faith that I AM fully able to do “abundantly above all you can ask of think” and think big. Prophesy to the dead bones, “Come alive!” No situation is beyond My redemption, so look to Me is faith, beloved, and believe.

{Hearing} All is well. Allow hope to fill your heart and optimism to fill your soul. God is a God of hope. Rest in the strength of His character. Pause and make room for encounters not of this realm. Be at peace. Be open. Rest in joy.

Father, may our hearts find hope in You and may we cling steadfastly to it refusing to be swayed. You are our firm foundation and the Author and Finisher of our faith. We trust You and we love you, for You are our living hope.
