Faith and Honor CREED

 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” — Romans 12:12 Evil has no fear of the strong. It has seen kings and warriors come and go. It has survived empires, crushed armies, and whispered lies into the ears of the proud. But there is one thing it has never been able to conquer — hope. Hope is the quiet resistance of the soul. It is not loud, it is not glamorous, and it rarely gets applause. But it endures. When evil burns cities, hope rebuilds from ashes. When lies echo through the world, hope whispers truth into one person’s heart, and that is enough to start a movement. Evil hates hope because hope reminds it of something eternal. It reminds darkness that it cannot write the final word. Every act of hope is rebellion against despair, and every moment of faith is an act of war against the enemy of light. Evil cannot destroy what it cannot define. It can twist words, corrupt institutions, and break bodies, but it can never reach that sacred part of you where hope lives, the place where God breathes. Hope is not emotion; it is evidence of God’s presence within you. The enemy does not fear your pain; it fears your persistence. When you wake up after the worst night of your life and decide to pray anyway, that terrifies hell. When you have lost everything but still choose to believe that good will come, that is divine warfare. When you speak life into a dead situation, evil flees because resurrection is the one language it cannot understand. So hold your hope like a blade. Sharpen it with prayer. Guard it with truth. And when the enemy comes for your peace, remember: you are not defending something fragile, you are wielding something eternal. Hope is not weakness. Hope is fire. And darkness burns when you carry it.
