The life hope left behind

 The hope we have in Christ is the hope of life. The hope of life is the hope we can overcome anything through the blood of Christ. But what if there were one thing a woman named Hope could not overcome? What if Hope had forsaken her own heart and thus Hope became hope and hope became a cat and finally hope just vanished.

 For this to happen we have to know there is an ancient sin technology which allowed men to steal the soul. They could take it anywhere with them, like the dwarf or Elf lawn ornament and then return it after a long trip.

Such a trip would be long and arduous and it would be hard to prove. After all who purchases elf and who purchases dwarf? Not many.

So the day of purchase was almost over and I began to have a dream about a cat named Hope. I thought it was just a dream of a cat alone in a church but what if put hope into me and into my soul and spirit? Suppose God saw a woman who cried for help who needed to know that where two or three were gathered? So God said "It is the spirit which is the temple of God. God bringing those with him to help pray. He is in Heaven but if we have a loved one there He invited them to pray in their temple or their body. They are called by God from among men. And they are asked to pray. They don't hear the result but some of those who are of Hope and crew do. They can join in with God and they are part of the eternal help God is going to break out for me. He is going to deliver me into the hand of a woman He calls Hope. She is real but she needed freeing. So somewhere out there is a woman who loves cat and loves church and loves prayer. And that is the majority of what I know of her.

 So if that is strange know God gave me a dream years ago about a cat crying out assassin over and over again. The cat was speaking to me in the church but the church was empty. I thought for years its main meaning was the people of God had thrown out hope in their attempt to understand faith. If you do then you are never able to say "I hope so" without feeling its wrong. I hope is the key to faith. And it is the key to Paul's cry to us from the heart. It is the cry of a man who understood the same hope. He called her creature.

Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

So that also seems to be a clue. For if Paul in his prayer helped hope in hers then God is indeed involved in deep and powerful stories.

Finally remember the day of God comes with hope. It also comes with desire for us to see that if they come with creature don't be surprised. Remember the writers who saw heaven saw creatures and beasts and things they had difficulty describing. We of this age are prejudice so bad about what is and isn't acceptable into the church. We claim we would accept but remember the cat of hope was cast off. If it turns out the cat was the child of a lion who was King of Judah then you had better have on some hope of your own when God returns to judge the righteous. For he will bring 'them' with him to earth and he will test us. How? By having them come and speak to our church. Imagine having a beast speak. It would mean that if the pastor got up to rebuke the donkey.... well, maybe the donkey wasn't an ass after all.
