2 Kings 4:21-37

Psalm 62:5

Challange : To rejoice because it's already done!

Thought : Am I walking in expectation?

Don't put your expectation on people places and things, but put them on God!

We need to stay in expectation of what God is about to do.

Three types of believers

The believer with no expectation
The believer with low expectation
The believer with high expectation

God spoke and things happened. We need to live in his likeness. We need to speak God's words. God's Word says "Death and life is in the power of the tongue" .

We need to live in high expectation. As children of God we should not live beneath our priveleges.

The mind can be positive or negative. Thoughts control your actions and what you become. In other words unless you believe, nothing will happen. You have to believe you can be better, you have to believe you can get that job, etc.

Only God can turn a dead situation into life. God can revive anything! What needs to be revived in your life?
Your marriage?
Your passion for life?
Relation ships in your family?
What are you believing God for?

Jesus sent 70 deciples on their way and told them not to take anything with them. He wanted them to be in expectation every day... Can we live in that kind of expectation?

The 70 returned from being sent out and rejoiced after witnessing what God did for them on thier journey.

God wants us to trust him when he first speaks, not AFTER we witnessed something.

With God we should live in the expectation that it's already done!

Rejoice now because it's already done!

This week: Corporate Challange, expect God to do something great this week.
We are not going to talk negative
Think positive
Speak positive
Have scriptures available to redirect your negative thoughts.

I Kings 17:12- And she said, as the Lord God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it and die. Read 12-16

When the widow woman met up with Elijah, she had given up any hope for the life of her son and herself. She was certain that she was going to cook her last supper and die. But God sent the man of God, Elijah, her way to change her perspective. When she acted upon His Word, the little bit she had increased to more than enough!

In hard times, or in times of uncertainty, it is difficult to walk in expectation of good things when everything bad is happening. It is easy to be pessimistic, and it is a fight to be optimistic. As Christians, we cannot hope for the best and expect the worst. this is not biblical at all! We must remember this: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” See what you are going through as a test of your faith in God’s Word. Have you ever wonder about what God is expecting of you? Surely He does not want you to lay down and die, to run, to give up, or to pack your bags and walk away! Our Father wants us to expect Him to move in a way that we will be convinced—Surely the Lord has done this thing!
