Enthusiastic. In the Greek text these words are ein theos - in God. They have been translated over into English in the word enthusiastic. The basic root of this word means supernatural inspiration. And you and I know supernatural inspiration can come from one of two sources. It can either come from the true God or it can come from who? Satan. That's why enthusiastic living is manifested in the Satanic world as well as in the true world of the sons of God. For the most part you've seen more enthusiastic living in the Satanic world in your lifetime than you have seen among Christian believers, but that day is changing and the time is changing. Because of the ministry that we believe God has put in our hearts and souls for this day and time and hour. The supernatural inspiration - meaning enthusiastic living - this is what we follow from the true God which we get from his Word. The scripture verse for this youth advance was that great 13th verse of the 15th chapter:

[Romans 15:13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the [pneuma hagion] Holy [Spirit].

There are three words which you must understand: hope, faith and love. Or faith, hope and love, as they're given in Corinthians: the word faith is the word believing. Anything which is immediately available to us now will in the Bible use the word believing. Anything which is available to us in the future but not in the immediate present is always the word hope. Then it is love, the agapeo type of love which activates both our believing for the immediate present as well as our hope for the future. This is why 1 Corinthians 13:

[13] [Such as that what?] now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; the greatest of these is [what?] love.

Because love activates, love activates both our believing as well as our hope. Anything that you can hope for you can't have now. People say: well they hope someday to get a prayer answered. Well as long as they keep hoping that some day will never come. Anything that you and I can have now has to be immediately available to us and it is the word believing. That's why the Bible does not speak of believing for heaven now, it speak to having the hope to go to heaven, or the hope of Christ's return. You can't believe for Christ's return because it's not immediately available right now. Could be a second from now but if it was a second later it has to be the usage of the word hope. And that's one reason why this verse just struck me when I got into looking at it in its depth again.

The moment I see the word hope I know that what it's saying here is not presently or immediately available. You'll have to go back to verse 11 or 10, someplace in here. I don't care where you go, you just got to go back to get the context to see why the word hope is used.

Verse 12: And again, Esias [or Isaiah] saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

You see in context what he's talking about was going back to the Old Testament when Christ had not yet what? Come. That's why the Gentiles could only hope. Isaiah could only speak of this root of Jesse that would rise and reign over the Gentiles in the future. In Him shall the Gentiles what? Trust.

In the OT the believers looked forward to that day. We look back. Everything was wrought in Christ Jesus. In Isaiah's day, when he prophesied about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ out of the root of Jesse it was still future. Therefore they had to use the word hope. The God of hope understand? It is it is singularly significant that the city of Nazareth literally means 'branch' town - 'root.' Root here in verse 12 is out of the branch of Jesse, out of his bloodline, out of that branch. The city of Nazareth, the word Nazareth means 'branch' town. And Nazareth is Jesus Christ's city. He shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you [those who were hoping for Christ's coming, were filled with expectations; and those filled ones expecting his return were filled] with all joy and [what?] peace.

And the joy and the peace that they got filled with as they hoped for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is one word what? Believing. Believing. Believing. Believing fills you with joy and peace, understand?
