EXPECTATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Expect:\u00a0 To look, that is, to reach forward, or to fix the eyes<\/p>\n

I once heard a minister say that he expects to receive from God all the time.\u00a0 That sentence has been in the front of my spirit ever since I heard it.\u00a0 God expects us to receive what He gives to us.\u00a0 He has so many gifts for us of health and prosperity and peace and joy and gentleness and faith.\u00a0 I could extend the list but you get the idea.\u00a0 How can we get something which we are not expecting?\u00a0 I think that God has compassion on us and because of His great and awesome love for us, He simply has to do something to spill over on us.\u00a0 That\u2019s commendable, but wouldn\u2019t it be better to receive from Him on a daily basis and give Him great pleasure.<\/p>\n

Say this with me:<\/p>\n

I expect to receive from God all the time.<\/p>\n

I believe I receive.\u00a0 I take it now.<\/p>\n

You might want to make a list of the things you see in the Bible and that God tells you to expect and keep them before you and speak out what you are expecting.\u00a0 It is time to expect and receive.\u00a0 Do you know that the best time to get your \u201cexpecter\u201d out there is when everything seems to be going the opposite direction of what you need or want!\u00a0 When all looks bleak and dismal and there doesn\u2019t seem to be anything good happening in your life, deliberately, on purpose, stand still wherever you are and expect something good to happen to you.<\/p>\n

Have you been released from your job?\u00a0 Expect a better one.\u00a0 Have you lost money in your retirement account?\u00a0 Expect more money than what you lost.\u00a0 Have your children gone out and done things contrary to the way they were raised?\u00a0 Expect them to come into the fullness of what God has for them.\u00a0 Has your spouse told you that he\/she wants out of the relationship?\u00a0 Expect God to supply the emotional needs of your soul.\u00a0 I think you get the picture.\u00a0 You might say that I am expecting the impossible!\u00a0 Yes, that is it!\u00a0 We serve a God whose power is greater than the impossible.\u00a0 All things are possible with Him.<\/p>\n

Here are a few scriptures to help you on expectation.\u00a0 Think on them.\u00a0 Ponder them.\u00a0 Speak them.\u00a0 Believe them.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 23:18, Amplified Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 24:14, Amplified Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

So shall you know skillful and godly Wisdom to be thus to your life; if you find it, then shall there be a future and a reward, and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 29:11<\/strong><\/p>\n

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.<\/p>\n

What have you got to lose?\u00a0 Expecting something and getting all of it or part of it is better than not expecting anything and not getting anything.\u00a0 I know what you are thinking.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t expect anything, I won\u2019t be disappointed.\u00a0 Really!\u00a0 You are disappointed and discouraged already if that is where you are (and all of us have been there on more than one occasion).<\/p>\n
