Topic: Expectations About God, Part 1 Of 2

Do you really and truly expect the Lord to do a miracle in your life or are you dreading some awful outcome? Telling the truth is important here. After all, we are human beings, subject to the failings of human beings. If the truth were told, don't you really expect the worst to happen rather than the best? The reason you may expect the worst is because the human heart is covered over with sin. The sin covering the heart creates sinful desires and dark expectations. Our sin prevents us from realizing God's will in our life. Sin keeps our faith weak. Expectation is the dynamic of faith. Expectation is the mental possession of the love of God before you have it. In the realms of the supernatural, when you truly expect to receive the miraculous love of God you end up with the love of God in your immediate possession. What do you possess at this moment? Do you hold and possess the miraculous love of Christ in your heart or do you just want the love of Christ? Do you hold and possess His miraculous tenderness, miraculous compassion, and miraculous understanding in your heart or do you hold selfishness, greed, and lust in your heart? In Christ, what can we expect? In Christ, we can expect to see Jesus rather than the dark things of life. We can expect Him to work in our life rather than expecting a bad tomorrow. We can expect to have the power to live right, do right, and be right rather than being whipped around by life like a rag in the wind doing what we know is wrong and not being able to do anything about it.
