Expectations

We go to work on a daily basis and at the end of a week, we expect to get paid.
We attend university, we hope to increase in knowledge and if we stick it out a little longer, we expect a degree.
Why is it that we believe in God but never expect anything from the Kingdom? Granted, whatever we do is done out of love but we say we know we love God but never expect Him to bless us. Most earthly father provide for their children, so how much more should you expect God to provide for you? A lot more.

Cast away false humility, religious myths, proverbs that are not in the Bible and learn the truth about God's will for your life!

Here it is in a nutshell:

God told Abraham that He would bless Him until all the families of the earth are blessed. He promised that if we obey his commands, we will be blessed everywhere we go in our finances. He said that anything we do will prosper because He takes delight in the prosperity of His servants, in every area of our life including our health, he bore our sicknesses so we don't have to be diseased!

He goes on to say that He already knows the plans He has for us and they are not to harm us, but to give us a good future and an expected end. He explained how to do that, believe, dont doubt in your heart and anything you say can be yours!! Nothing is impossible to those that believe! He has so much in store for us, we cant even imagine it! We are entitled to this because we are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. You can do all things through Christ because He strengthens you. He wishes above all things that we are blessed and that we prosper even as our souls prosper.

See scripture references below:

Genesis 12:2,3 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
Deuteronomy 28:1-4 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
Psalm 1:3 You will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither whatever they do prospers.
Psalm 35:27 May they always say, “The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant
Psalm 103:3 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Matthew 21:21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.
Mark 9:23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, NO eye has seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Galatians 3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Philippians 4:13,19 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
1 John 3:2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Expectation is the breeding ground for miracles!!!
