Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts - Best of Hope Ep. 3 - Hope for Something New

Episode Date: September 5, 2023

It’s often times not the surrounding circumstances that prevent us from hoping for something new, but rather our inward inability to hope and expect for more. It is possible to silently hope for things that we would dare not utter out loud for the risk of being disappointed. If WE will allow ourselves to tap into a hope that leaves no room for doubt or disappointment, we position ourselves to not only change our own lives, but the lives of everyone attached to us.   Discover more about tapping into your secret weapon of hope when you pre-order SJR’s latest book at AllHopeIsFound.com

Hey you, I have a feeling this is about to be your favorite hope note yet. If you are new to the train then let me explain to you what a hope note is. I've got a new book coming out, it's called All Hope Is Found, Rediscovering the Joy of Expectation. And let me tell you something, every now and then we have to rediscover the joy of expectation because sometimes we are living in the fear of what's to come, in the anxiety of what's possible, but there is the ability to have joy while expecting. And it's time for us to tap into that again.

Now if you know anything about me, you already know that one thing I do enjoy is getting the girls together. When we come together, my goal is to remind them of their power and God. The second thing I like to do is get them pumped up for the new that is promised to their name, new identities, new ways of thinking, new projects, new book. When we move into relationship and partnership with God, we don't just experience a fresh wave of power. We also experience the hope that comes with knowing that we ain't something yet. You know, I am one to hype my girls up on hope like it is going out of style. And with this particular hope note, I thought my hope coming back with this one, and I believe you will too. Let's get into it.

You wanna see glory, but you wanted to come from the outside. And I hear God saying that if you wanna really experience glory, it's gonna come from the Christ and you being awakened in the midst of what's happening. Do you know, we must not know who our God is. When we are in these situations, we start thinking that the fear is bigger than our God, that the rejection is bigger than our God is. When we are in these situations, we start thinking that the fear is bigger than our God, that the rejection is bigger than our God,

that the heartbreak is bigger than our God, that the grief is bigger than our God. And I hear God saying that if you believe that then you cannot release the glory, that will help that thing shrink, that will help you navigate that and walk through it in a way that gives you courage for your next assignment. Hope come, hope come, hope come, hope come into my finances, hope come into my self esteem,

hope come into my confidence, hope come into my parenting, hope come into my heart. I want to break a generational curse but I'm growing weary. But if hope comes, I'll grow stronger. I want to do something that's never been seen before in my community. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman.

I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I'm not going to be a woman. I just 10 seconds to be the hope that you need to see in your situation To be the hope that you want to see in your finances to be the hope that you want to see in your rope If nobody else got it. I'll take on the mission. So God I opened up myself wherever there's fear God

Replaced with hope wherever there's download replacement with hope God, I don't know how you're going to do it, but I'm hoping that it's going to be done. And this is not no wishful thinking. This is a demand on who you are. I have hope in you, Jesus. I have hope in the glory that can still be experienced in spite of the grief that I've come through. I've got hope that you're going to work it out. I've got hope that you're going to set me free. I've got hope that this won't be the end. I've got hope that I'm going to come out on the other side. And when I get out on the other side, that I'm going to thank God that I survived what I went through.

And I'm going to testify about how I needed what I went through to become who I am right now. It only happens with hope. I've got hope. I've got hope. I've got hope. It only happens with hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I got hope. I know it's not as bad, but I got hope. I know everyone is giving up, but I got hope. I know there's a recession, but I'm starting to business anyway, because I got hope. I'm going after the house anyway, because I got hope that I've never seen the righteous forsaken. That's just not in scripture. That's a declaration. That's a promise that you can bet on. I'm betting on you. I'm betting on you. God, I'm believing in you. God, I'm asking that you would stir up the gift of God on the

inside of these women that they would not be waiting for hope to just come to them, but that they would allow the hope to grow in them. So when the hope grows in them, it overflows that every woman connected to them. I got generational hope. I got the kind of hope that could set my mother free and the kind of hope that would grab my niece and help her get free too. I got hope for a nation. I got hope for an industry. I got hope for my city.

What's up, Dallas? What we can do, baby? I got hope for what the women in this city could do if we decided that they're in a devil in hell that can come up against a woman Who's anchored in hope Mom be honest with you God tell me if you have hey you live I'll turn those cities upside down God tell me if you have hey you live I'll turn the cities upside down. God told me if you have, hey, you live. I'll turn those cities upside down and say, God,

cities are going crazy. It's all on the news every single day. God, what's the answer? God says, just get the women together. Because if you get the women together, you'll get every community. If you get the women together, you'll get families. If you get the women together, that's why the if you get the women together, that's why the attack

has been on the woman. That's why the serpent went for the woman, because if he gets the woman, he can get the man. And if the enemy gets you, he can get everything connected to you. But if a woman gets bold enough to say, you may have had me, but you gotta let me go, because I feel my hope coming.

I feel my hope coming. I feel my hope coming. I feel my strength coming back. I feel like something's about to break off for me. And when it breaks off for me, I hope it breaks off for you too. And when it breaks off for her, I hope it breaks off for the woman next to you. Cause we got something to do. And it's gonna take a woman to get it done. It's gonna take a woman to get it done. Cause a woman is a birther, and she's a nurturer, and she knows how to take hope, even a seed seat of hope oh, that's why you couldn't get in the room

Because if you messed around and got a seat of hope you may start talking crazy in the middle of your circumstances I may be in the dark, but I am not without hope. I may be lost and confused But I am not without hope hope can exist in the middle of the fire I'm not lost and confused, but I am not without hope. Hope can exist in the middle of the fire. Hope can exist when I'm under fire. Hope can keep going, and I can keep moving, because hope is on the way. Hope. God. God, if you would open up the windows of heaven over this place, I believe that you would pour

out a blessing that we don't have room enough to receive. A blessing of hope that we don't have room enough to receive an overflow of hope. God, I'm praying for every woman who came into this room empty. I hear hope saying, Hey, you, we're not finished yet. Hey, you don't you dare give up. Hey, you, we still got work to do. Hey, you, I can still use that. Hey, you, I know you were shame, but what you ashamed of, God sees as a tool that think you're running from.

God says I can use it. Staring down. Staring down with hope. Staring down with faith. Staring down with boldness. I'm going to go after that house. I'm going to get my heart together. I'm gonna stare this thing down. I'm tired of letting it control me. I'm tired of allowing you to define me. I'm about to stare it down and release hope

in a way that changes who you knew. I don't know if you came in here by yourself or if you came in here with a friend but I'm trying to let you know that who you came in with is not who you're leaving with. Because I'm not going to let you know that you're leaving with a friend or if you came in here with a friend, but I'm trying to let you know that who you came in with is not who you're leaving with because who I am when I am depleted versus who I am when I have hope.

She a bad girl, baby. She starts to create a thing in the earth. She's a bad girl, baby. She starts running up against devils. She's a bad girl, baby. She starts believing she could break a generation of curse. And she'll God that it'll never happen again. That baby starts prophesying. That woman starts moving.

That woman starts dreaming. That woman starts prophesying. I hope, hope, healing, hoping for healing, hoping for deliverance, hoping for a generation to be saved. I'm hoping for things that I'm not even willing to put in the words. And because the power of life and death is in the tongue, all of your secret, quiet hopes are going to have to start being spoken out. You're going to have to own that hope. Not campaign for it. Not take votes for it.

But your hope is going to have to reach your lips. And you're going to have to start walking and speaking and moving with hope. It's not a secret hope. It may be bold for where you came from. It may be bold for the age you're in. It may be bold compared to what you've been up against. But if you keep it buried, how can it ever breathe? This was your friendly reminder that ain't no such thing as wishful thinking when it comes

to my God. We have the authority to make a demand on who he is as the God of hope. Remember this, no matter what you're up against, no matter how far hope feels, all hope is found.
