” I told you Eternal One, You are my Lord, for the only good I know in this world is found in you alone.” ~ Psalm 16:2
Early in this recent journey with discovering there was a cancer in my body, I found myself driving the familiar road home to give a surprise visit to my parents. The Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my spirit, saying, ” I am taking you full circle. I am taking you back to where you started. You come from a place of Good Hope!”
I smiled. What an interesting thought that has never in my life crossed my mind! It was just a place I grew up. I had never thought much about the name or the meaning of it in my entire life of living there, or returning to visit. Yet, I clearly was given this sweet message from my Heavenly Father. Considering this more, I have always believed that we are placed intentionally in the home of our beginning, and even further, in every place we find ourselves. I have no doubts that every step is directed by God, Himself. Far beyond our understanding, and before our time here started, He had it all set in place.
” Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.” ~ Psalm 139:16
When I reached my childhood home and began to spend time eating and talking with my parents, the experience on the way there left my mind. Within a little while, my mother asked to see my phone so that she could catch up on reading my blog. As she read, suddenly she stopped and said, “Isn’t it interesting that you are from a place called Good Hope?!” Oh, the wonders of the confirmations of God! I was stunned. He wanted to remind me quickly. He wanted to confirm to me solidly, that this was indeed an important understanding for me to grasp. I shared with her quickly what had happened only an hour before on my way to our visit. We sat and discussed, as we often do, the amazing ways of our beautiful, personal God Almighty.
Returning home, the Lord brought this message to me, to further strengthen and encourage my heart.
This is your word of HOPE for today and forever – I AM your GOOD HOPE! I am the place your reside – the place from which you came – you originate in ME! You rest in Me! You come HOME to Me! Your healing and all of your life is found in Me – Complete in the GOOD HOPE I have given you!
“Highly prophetic” they will say, and you will answer,
“That’s how He does it! HE Speaks and I listen! That’s all there is to it! You can do it too! And you should! Try it for yourself and listen once in awhile after you speak to God! He will never disappoint!”
“He is a near God, and not one far off who cannot hear and does not care! He is your GOOD HOPE, and in Christ, you can have all of this as well!”
The Holy Spirit spoke further, saying,
Hear Me when I say this word on your healing. Here is what to say and not to say.
Say, GOD IS ABLE! He hears me when I call on Him and answers every time! He is Healer! He is all Righteousness and His GLORY is in HIS TRUTH. He is the KING of ALL KINGS and over all nations – and to come again to reign over all of the earth! His people know this! Would you like to be one of them?
Here is what not to say.
Never say that I alone did this act, but that WE, joined by faith, accomplished it! SEE this! I do all that I will and whatever I will; and even your HUGE measure of faith, I have portioned out to you for a time such as this, and this is how faith grows- by you ACTING on it.
Active faith is GROWING FAITH. That is the key!
So, I give it and you act on it by believing, which is why I say, ‘Let it be according to the faith that is in you!’
I place it there.
I water it.
I grow it.
But you MUST speak of it or else, who will know, but the two of us?
Herein lies your healing. In the depths of layers of skin over cells over cells, in the deepest unknown parts of you is MY shimmering light- in it is my healing. The brighter your light shines – the healthier you are! The more love you pour out – the more it splashes back onto you! And everyone is washed with it, including you!
As Light pours out it becomes Love! And the light of My love burns forever and brightly! Nothing dims it! It is deeply eternal!
Your faith in this IS your healing!
KNOWING ME = KNOW My LIGHT = POURING out My LOVE = HEALING Total and Complete.
People say, ‘ I wish I had your faith’ – so you should say, ‘ I wish you did, too!’ It is wonderful and good for your total health and well being! HAVE SOME! Ask God for it! He will give you a steady supply, according to your needs and all that you ask, and everything you require comes by it!
By faith – you are saved. and all else you receive! It is this faith, brought by GRACE which brings you life and light of every kind!
“For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.”
~ Romans 8:24-25

Wow, Cheryl!
I am blessed to know you and your daughter both! God speaks through us all many times that we don’t even realize it. I think it is so important to always be staying close to Him and praying to be used in whatever way He had designed for us. I am humbled to serve alongside people like you. Thank you for your encouragement always.
Love is the thing above all!
