Expect more from God!

I was in the same prayer meeting Craig mentioned during worship, when the prophetic word came, “Expect more from God.” I’ve been chewing on it too.

Certainly, I think Craig was right about it meaning “to see God more clearly and as being more awesome." The Holy Spirit’s presence could be felt at that revelation, when we worshiped Sunday morning – wonderful!

We need to see the Lord “high and lifted up” like Isaiah (6:1) did. We need to keep our “eyes fixed on Christ Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb12:2). And “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Ps 121) Indeed if we keep our eyes on Him, that will solve most of our problems or bring them into perspective.

But can we? Should we come into His presence with “expectations?” For ourselves? For others? Can we “expect” things from God?

How you answer this question is very important! For you! For your friends! For your King.

I’m not saying I know.

I am saying we have a covenant with our God. His gift to us is relationship.

What good is a best friend or spouse if you can’t “expect” certain things from them? Ask help or favors?

Does God love you? Are you a son or daughter? Favored? For what kind of relationship did He die?

How Good is God? How Big? How Powerful? So what should we “expect” from Him in prayers and in answers?

See Him big! He is! Come to Him very lowly, or don’t come at all. You won’t see Him or find Him.

But once you are in His presence, or if you’re making effort to live in His presence, do you think you can “expect things” from Him when you ask? -=db=-
