What Are You Expecting?

What Are You Expecting

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. – Psalm 5:3

Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord. – Psalm 27:14

Are you expecting surely goodness and mercy from the Lord with abundance or are you the type of person who expects nothing so just in case nothing happens you are not disappointed? Well, when you are not in expectation and hoping for great abundance in life guess what you have disappointed God! http://www.miraclebook.net

Jesus said, he came to give you life and life more abundantly.” The Bible says, “Now to Him who is able to carry out his purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us.” – Ephesians 3:20.

So, if God is prepared to overwhelm you with his abundance why are you not expecting it? God wants you to dream big and pray boldly! If you are asking and praying for things that eventually with lots of hard work, you will be able to attain on your own you are insulting God. He wants to be involved in all areas of your life and wants to bless you tremendously. However, if you are going to ask and pray as a pauper you will receive as a pauper. http://www.miraclebook.net

God created this whole world and everything thing in it. There is nothing that he cannot do and no amount of provision that he can’t deliver to you. Start getting your hopes up. Dream bigger, believe for abundance in all areas of your life.

Reflect on the Disney movie “Aladdin” and start making your wishes and raise your level of expectation while going through this journey of life. Remember what the genie said when he came out of the bottle, “Your Wish Is My Command!”

The Despondency Test

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. – Psalm 42:5

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. – Jeremiah 29:11

Expected – to anticipate or look forward to the coming or occurrence of. – https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/expected.

According to Jeremiah 29:11 God has an expected end for all of us and according to the dictionary that is something we all should be looking forward to. So then why are so despondent? http://www.miraclebook.net

Despondent – means having lost all or nearly all hope. Implies a deep dejection arising from a conviction of the uselessness of further effort.

From the time God created the world he gave us all free will and with that we believe everything should always go our way and that we should always be living on easy street. When that does not happen and when we are going through extended seasons of challenges, trials, discomfort etc. we become despondent. We all want things to happen fast, quick like warp speed for the star trek fans reading this but that is not the way God operates. He expects a degree of FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF from us all. When we do not have those, we can expect to sink into the abyss.

According to our God given heavenly assignment in life not the man-made ones we decide God is going to keep us on the potter’s wheel until we are what we need to be to complete those assignments. Being on the potter’s wheel means we are being shaped, molded, refined into what God knows we need to be. It is what you would call the HOT SEAT! Don’t try to escape it because no one does. God created all of us and either we do things his way or we will be in the gutter. http://www.miraclebook.net

Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” There are many different tests in life that we will be expected to pass and one of the big ones is the despondency test. If we are always going to moan, complain, despise when God is trying to do a good work in us and get us prepared for the abundance, he has for us then we will never attain all that he wants for us and what we want for ourselves. We will be like the children of Israel that never made it into the promise land and died in the wilderness.

So, what do you do when things are not going your way? Pray, keep doing good, keep going to church, keep helping and serving people, keep tithing, keep reading your Bible, keep up your praise and worship to God, always have gratitude. At the appointed time God will lift the clouds and bring you into the abundant life he has in store for you. We all think we know when we are ready to level up, but we don’t. You don’t want to go to a higher level of influence and success when you are not ready or mature for it because the platform that was built for you will just crumble. http://www.miraclebook.net

Trust God’s timing and pass the despondency test and make the devil mad as hell so when you are elevated like David, Job, Moses, Joseph, Abraham, Esther, Ruth and many other heroes in the Bible the devil will have to turn aside and look for his next victim, but it will not be YOU!

The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

Are you the acrobatic type? Can you visualize yourself doing a high wire circus act? Or maybe hanging from the side of a cliff? Well, this is what you are doing when you are dealing with life’s tests, challenges, and uncertainty. What do you do when this happens? You hold on. The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

God never promises us crystal clear water and smooth sailing everyday of our lives. If Jesus had tribulation when he was here on earth what makes you think you will be exempt from them? You think to yourself I am a believer, I go to church regularly, I serve at church, I pay my tithes and give offerings.

In the Bible there was a woman by the name of Hannah whose womb was closed up and barren. Her husband loved her dearly, but he had another wife who was very fertile and was able to have baby after baby and she mercilessly taunted Hannah because she couldn’t have children. One day Hannah was at the temple and was crying and praying to God and said that if God gave her a son, she would care for him until he was old enough and then bring him to the temple and give him back to God to use as he chose. God heard her prayer and opened her womb and a year later she gave birth to the prophet Samuel. Hannah kept her word and God blessed her with four other children. Hannah kept the faith and held on and was blessed mightily. The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

Now here in modern day there is an actor named Trevor Donovan who also had to hold on tightly to his dream. Trevor always wanted to be an actor but every time he was in front of a camera he froze up and couldn’t read his lines. He got the job of a lifetime with the soap opera “Days of our Lives” with a three-year contract but was eventually fired because he would freeze and panic when he needed to read his lines. Just when he was about to give up on acting and give up his apartment in Los Angeles his agent called him and advised him that he secured a job with the show “90210”. Ever since that time Trevor’s career has just taken off and become very fruitful.

The Bible says in the book of Proverbs the book of Wisdom, “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” – Proverbs 24:10. As soon as adversity rears its ugly head most people want to scamper, run, and hide. Most of us don’t like to be outside of our comfort zone, but you will never receive all God has for you if you don’t stretch yourself. Remember what God tells us, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41:10.

Whether you think you can or think you can’t you’re right. – Henry Ford

Best Selling author Joyce Meyer always says, “where the mind goes the man follows”, and that is true.

If you believe you will be a successful person living a thriving life that is exactly what will happen to you. If, however you think you never get any good breaks, and you will just live a life of surviving you are right. Check out my website

Every new day that God wakes you up is an opportunity to build your legend. You are God’s masterpiece which means you are an original and so you have the opportunity to carve your victorious life. So how do you do that? You start by thinking victorious thoughts about yourself and what you have to offer. If you eat junk food constantly because your mind tells you that you just can’t live without that soda, dessert, or triple cheeseburger and large onion rings then you will wind up being overweight with the possibility of having future health issues. If you are always thinking that I am nobody special at my workplace I am just lucky to have a job, then every time there is a job opportunity or promotion you will never get it because you will fail miserably at the interview. The thoughts and effort that you put into something is what will determine the type of refund you receive. Christian Books – Donna Louis – Victory Starts In Your Thinking

In the Bible the Book of Proverbs which is the book of wisdom states, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7. In 1937 author Napoleon Hill wrote an incredible book titled, Think and Grow Rich” which has been called the Grandaddy of all motivational books. Chapter 1 of the book is titled, “Thought Are Things.” This speaks for itself because if you are thinking negative thoughts that is the direction your life will head in. Another chapter in the book titled, “The Brain” Napoleon Hill calls the brain your broadcasting and receiving station. So, if his assessment is true then if you want to lead a victorious life you need to think victoriously. Check out my website

They say that any new behavior pattern takes 30 days for it to become a habit so take it step by step. Retraining your mind to think victorious thoughts will take time. It is a daily challenge but depending on how you see yourself and the things you wish to achieve in life will tell whether you become a success or a failure.
