Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. (Mark 2:4)

Why would these men dig a hole through a roof and lower their invalid friend through it to sit at the feet of Jesus?  I would suggest to you that they had an “expectation” that God would touch their friend through the life of Jesus.

One of the most powerful fuels to motorise the work of God in your life is “expectation.”  When you live in the place of expectation then you are saying: “I believe God and I believe what He says that He can do, He is going to do.”

Whenever I go to a place to minister, I expect God to move and I expect Him to move on a grand scale in the lives of those that come to the meeting.  I am never certain what He is going to do but I know that He is going to do something and everyone will know that it was God who did it when it occurs.

There are dozens of potential miracles in the making at any one moment.  I would not want to assume that I understand everything that might occur nor would I want to limit God to my own limited desires of the supernatural.  My expectation is that He will move and that He will do it in His own way.

If God wants to heal around me, then He can do it.  If He wants to heal a very broken heart, then He can do it.  If He wants to send thunder, lightning or winds into the meetings, then He can do it.  I am comfortable with gold dust, oils, blood signs, and aromas occurring in my meetings.  I live in the expectation that something will occur and because of this I have been seeing so many signs and wonders take place around me that I could not dare tell you how much I have seen.

Recently I was a part of a series of meetings in which I brought together many of my revivalist friends to see what God would do.  I knew that these friends carried certain kinds of anointing on their lives, particularly for healing, and I further knew that If I brought them together these things would occur in the meetings, and they did.

I have one friend that through time has been used by God to pull people out of wheelchairs.  He has a gift to bring healing to very difficult physical cases.  I expected God to use him this way, and God did.  One of the greatest miracles in those meetings occurred through his life.  For that I was very thankful.

Our expectation that God will operate is the fuel that ignites the supernatural.  Now I want to be careful in stating this because God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants whenever He wants.  God is not limited by my belief or unbelief, but those who believe see many more miracles than those who don’t believe and I would state that those who expect see more still.

I just want to be a reporter in the midst of what God is doing.  My expectation is to be in the place of revival or the atmosphere of His presence.  I long for it more than anything else in life.  I would do whatever God desires me to do to stay in that place and that is the truth and God knows it.

I would ask you this day, “What is your expectation?”  If the truth were told, do you expect God to do the miraculous?  If not, seek Him and ask Him to show you what He can do.  He can change “unbelief” to “belief” very quickly.  I have seen Him do that many times.
