Dilusional Contentment

Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things Hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

As I begin writing this blog I feel a sense of hesitation. Hesitant because we have been trained that false hope is better than no hope. When in fact there’s either real hope based upon facts or no hope at all.

There is only hope or the absence of hope.

Real hope is certainty, materialization, inevitability, sure thing. When it comes to religion, hope should be as a result of a direct promise of God in any particular situation. A rhema word.

Faith is the materialization of hope. Which is virtuous evidence or substance. It’s very tangible and not a illusion.

The reason I write this blog is because many people are stuck in really bad circumstances and they hold onto what is false hope meaning a emotionally, mentally and spiritually state of mind that imprisons them in a dilusional pattern of consistent failure and disappointment because there can be no materialization of the illusions because they are not legitimate.

I’ve been in relationships where I knew that I didn’t have a direct word from God but yet I desired so much to see the manifestation of my affections that I became stuck in the middle of something that would never be virtuous or be a reality.

Dilusional contentment or false hope can never manifest the virtue of faith.

I don’t want to waste my life stuck in a dilusional state of mind. I want virtuous manifestations of my hope. I want faith. Only then can a living, resurrected Jesus be glorified in my life. Because my life will be full of powerful demonstrations, and evidence of hope. Which is faith.

It’s hard to adjust your heading once you have established in your heart that your will and God’s will are aligned. We all want what we want. We can try to conform and live our lives reflecting very distorted images of what kingdom living should be like, or we can experience transformation, because we allow our minds to be renewed. Renewed by the powerful demonstration of the rhema word of God proving that real hope is present.

I’m not talking about embracing confusion and hopelessness. But rather embracing the knowledge of the truth that will deliver us from dead things that keep us from living our best lives.

We are being called to virtue. When Christ returns will He find us weighed down with dilusional contentment or faith?

This blog is just the beginning of what is a lengthy topic of discussion. I pray that when you read this that you do a honest look at any situation in your life that’s under the influence of delusional contentment. The Bible says, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. That we can prove what is that good, perfect and acceptable will of God.

Much love sweet friends. Jennifer
