🔊 Turn Up the Volume
Amplify Your Faith Through Expectation
Have you ever felt like your prayers are hitting a ceiling? Like your faith isn't quite reaching the level you need for a breakthrough? It's time to turn up the volume on your expectations!
Turn the volume up!
Not on the sound system, but on our expectations and faith. This simple yet profound instruction can revolutionize our prayer life and our walk with God.
Here's why increasing your expectation matters:
It aligns with God's nature: God is a God of abundance (John 10:10). When we expect more, we're aligning ourselves with His character.
It activates our faith: Hebrews 11:1 tells us that "faith is the substance of things hoped for." When we increase our expectations, we're essentially feeding our faith.
It positions us for miracles: Jesus often responded to people's faith with amazing miracles (Matthew 9:29). Higher expectations can position us for greater miracles.
An expectation that cannot be stopped is an expectation that will not be denied. This means that when we refuse to let circumstances dampen our expectations, we're setting ourselves up for divine intervention.
Consider the story of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34). She had an unstoppable expectation that just touching Jesus' garment would heal her. Her expectations led to her miracle.
So how do we turn up the volume on our expectations?
Meditate on God's promises: Regularly remind yourself of what God has promised in His Word.
Celebrate small victories: Acknowledging God's faithfulness in small things builds our expectation for bigger things.
Surround yourself with faith-filled people: Their expectations can be contagious!
Key Takeaway:
Increasing our expectation in God aligns us with His abundance, activates our faith, and positions us for miracles.
