Expect Great Things!!!!!

As children we can all remember how good it felt to wake up early Christmas morning to see what "Santa" placed underneath the tree. We were in essence "expecting something great"! As a result, our parents stood back in amazement to see the smiles they put on our faces. This is how God feels when we "expect great things" from Him. He's literally sitting on the throne looking for someone to just flat out believe.

What has God spoken to you? Is it something you can do in your own strength? If so, then you've missed God. God will never ask you to accomplish anything that only you can accomplish. His requests are always bigger than ourselves. God will always use the least of them to do great and mighty works on His behalf in the earth. Look at Moses, he stuttered but he led a multitude of stubborn Israelites on a forty year journey. Rahab the harlot was used to hide spies of God and as a result she and her household was saved. Saul while traveling the road to Damascus murdered Christians before he was translated into one himself. These are just examples of God's grace and mercy and His undying desire to use us for His glory.

Therefore, if your journey is taking you outside of your comfort zone, then I welcome you to the will of God for your life. Impossible requests produces extravagant results because it causes you to exercise your faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God! Starting now, begin to declare that no matter what you "expect great things" from God each and every day! As you do this release your faith for it to come to pass in your life. God is now obligated to do great things for you even if you're doing it afraid!

I leave you with this...fear is contaminated faith that produces negative results. Faith is fueled by love and the results are limitless! Feed your faith and starve your doubts and fears to death!
