Hope At
The Lowest Point
Temperature gives an idea of how hot or cold an
object is.
The temperature of an object depends on how fast=
the
atoms and molecules, which make up an object, oscillate.
When you heat something up you are making the at=
oms
move faster.
There are three temperature scales here, F=
ahrenheit,
Celsius and Kelvin/
Absolute zero is seen on the Kelvin scale at the
zero point
Absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is 459 below z=
ero
on the Fahrenheit scale.
Absolute zero is as cold as atoms and
molecules can be.
Absolute zero is the total absence of heat energy.----Cold is just the absence of heat energy.
Scientists have never been able to obtain
absolute zero in a laboratory setting.
The coldest place in nature is the depths =
of
outer space.---there it is 3 degrees abo=
ve
absolute zero.
Even in the coldest state there is still h=
eat
energy.
The Lord began to speak to me about people who h=
ad
given up in areas of their life.
Even in the most depressed and oppressed
state you still have something left.
God has deposited something in eve=
ry
one of you that cannot be removed.
Scientist cannot obtain absolute zero<=

and neither can the enemy take away every ounce of hope.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of Go=
d and
not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are
perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, b=
ut
not destroyed.(NKJV)
The hope may be small but is never
extinguished
Sometimes when we are hard pressed, perple=
xed,
persecuted and struck down we just give up.
Massive forest fires have been started by one
God knows that He has deposited so=
mething
in each one of us that the enemy cannot take away.

----- however weak and insignificant it may seem.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient =
for
you, for My strength is made perfect in
weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest upon
In my own strength His strength is not
perfected
When I give up His strength is made perfect. No in my weakness
Why doesn’t God intervene in my
circumstances? &nbs=
p;
Are you doing what you can?
Are you releasing what you have to God?
In John Chapter nine Jesus told the blind man to=

1 Kings 17:12-13
So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I=
do
not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar;
and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it =
for
myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." And Elijah said to he=

"Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake fro=

have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the e=

and the avenger.(NKJV)
Matthew 21:15-16
But when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and
saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant and sa=
id
to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?=
"
And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of
babes and nursing infants You have perfected
praise'?"(NKJV)
Out of the mouths of children, who are the most
vulnerable human beings, God has ordained that they have strength.
Jesus is saying that the source of strengt=
h
ordained for the weak is perfected praise.
Is Psalm 8:2 the verse says that you might
As a child of God there is never a state of abso=
lute
emptiness.
What is your area of weakness---Are you praising=
Him
out of that weakness?
The perfected praise flow out of our weakness.
There is no sufficiency in that
area. Therefore t=
he
praise is perfected.
Praise supernaturally strengthens the heart. The
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Wh=
ere
would a spirit of heaviness come from?---From the enemy

2 Chronicles 20:21
And when he had consulted with the people, he
appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beau=
ty
of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise=
the
LORD, For His mercy endures forever."(NKJV)
You might say I don’t have anything left in
that area of my life.
You still have an unreleased praise. ----God does not allow the enemy t=
o take
you down to nothing.
2 Chronicles 20:22
Now when they began to sing and to praise, the L=

over my situation?
