Nothing is Impossible
"Everything is possible for him who believes ."
Mark 9:23
"Have you ever felt hopeless...ready to give up? Maybe you’ve already given up and felt that there were no answers and that you were simply trapped right where you sit. Well, here’s good news: You don’t have to stay there.
According to the Bible, hopelessness isn’t caused by lack of money. It isn’t caused by lack of education. It isn’t caused by negative circumstances. Hopelessness comes from being a stranger to God’s promises (Ephesians 2:12). Anybody anywhere can have hope if they know Jesus and the promises of God.
There is one country in Africa where the government wanted a tribe to die out, so they just stopped the flow of food and began to starve them to death. However that plan failed because some African Christians refused to give up hope. They knew God’s promises, so they prayed “Give us this day our daily bread.” Do you know what happened? The people were fed and the government went under!

The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:20 (NKJV), “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed....” The terms “earnest expectation” and “hope” both mean the same thing.
So hope is earnest expectation. It isn’t dependent on the world’s way of doing things. It’s based on what God has promised me. Because He said it, I earnestly expect it! I have hope because of His promises. If you need hope today, resist Satan and throw hopelessness into the dumpster. Everything is possible to him who believes!"
