The anointing is on me to write. So, I move with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Another year is almost gone.... But not gone yet. As we enter into the holiday season many people take stock of their lives; where they are, how the year went and what could be better in the year to come. Too many of us have not made significant change or moved drastically forward towards our destinies. Why is that? There may be many reasons. For some, we knew what to do but we didn't seem to have all the resources to do it. For others, the timing didn't seem quite right in the midst of all the other things that are on our plates. Unfortunately, some were just too afraid to change and decided to accept a place they consider comfortable and sufficient.
For those of us who want all that the Kingdom of God has to offer I post this blog and welcome your comments. God has appointed to each of us a purpose and a destiny that He designed and ORDAINED prior to our birth into the world. Since we are His children and the vessels He works through in the earth, we must find out and live out that purpose so what He predestined takes place. No, we won't know it all. But we must at least move forward with what He has already revealed in full faith and expectation that what He has purposed and promised will be fulfilled. If you doubt in any way that it won't happen, then it cannot happen through you. God can only give you what He has and He only has what is Good (His definition of good) and Perfect (James 1:17). If you expect anything different than Good or less than Perfect, you won't get anything from God because He doesn't have that to give you. Faith is a thing and it is the vehicle that causes things to manifest. If you have faith you will have expectation.
Understand who He is and what He has in store. You wouldn't go to Macy's to buy groceries or to McDonald's to buy clothes. When you have a need you go to the place where you EXPECT to have your need met because you know what that store has to offer, both the substance and the quality of that substance. When you go to God you have to ask for the right things. First ask for wisdom over what you already have and what you expect to receive. The "what" can be things but it is also relationships, health, employment, your living circumstances, places you should be or not. Wisdom is still the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). Now, if you wait and hear Him after you ask for wisdom, God will reveal to you what to want and ask of Him. He will reveal your purpose and destiny. Once He has revealed that through His wisdom, then you ask your "what" in alignment with that. Now of course He wants you to be provided for, comforted, needs met, etc. So the specifics of all those things are okay to ask for or about because they are in line with your achieving your destiny.
BUT, when you ask God for ANYthing, you should only ask for the BEST because that is all He has. If you ask for less, "almost but not quite", hand-me-down or "any old thing will do", you should expect to receive nothing from God. And James 1 says you will receive nothing because of your doubt and unbelief. In other words, you really don't expect to get it or you expect it to be less than what you asked for. But God doesn't work like that. He gives above and beyond expectations of Good and Perfect. If there is no expectation there, you can't get anything. For God is a God of multiplication, not addition or subtraction. He multiplies blessings and zero times anything is still zero. No expectation, No Good or Perfect gifts. You may get some things that are okay but where it came from? That's for you to determine.
God cannot change. He cannot dwell in darkness. Rather His presence makes darkness flee. So, you can't expect Him to come down and dwell in your dark places of low to no expectations. He can bring your out but He won't live there with you. But if you expect the best from God, and do not waiver or doubt that He can and will do it, you will receive far above your expectations, for God will be pleased by your faith. Expect only the best from God!
This is already too long! But in the next few days I will share the key to declaring and proclaiming that can make a difference in your life right now, BEFORE the year is out.
The Lord God loves you with grace, favor and blessings. The blessing is having a right relationship with Him. Out of that flows miracles and life. You are His beloved child and He desires to bless you with only the Best! Live in Expectation of Him.
