One of the most unbelievable stories can be found in Mark chapter 6 vs. 4-6
4Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6And he was amazed at their lack of faith.
Jesus visits his own hometown and no one can see past what they thought Jesus was, a carpenter, a blue collar worker. For the people that knew Jesus earlier in his life they couldn’t believe he was the Messiah.
We can read this scripture today and say “Wow what a bunch of idiots!” What a blown opportunity to have Jesus walk into their lives and then just blow him off as a wack-o!
We all have been in the position of choosing between trusting God for something and relying in our own strength.
I have seen the power of expectation, it is the difference between the status quo and a life changing day.
Imagine what your life would be like if every day you woke up and expected God to do something amazing in your world.
Imagine what your life would be like if every day you woke up and expected to do something amazing in another persons world.
( a friend, a family member, a co worker )
Imagine what your life would be like if next week you expected God to impact your life through the message that was spoken at church.
Imagine what your world would be like if you took the responsibility for you life and placed your trust in God for every aspect of your life.
God is waiting for us to seek Him, to call on Him, to expect Him to speak to us.
The wait is over, cry out to God, open your heart, seek Him today and He will answer you as you have faith in Him your faith will grow.
Raise your expectations, God is BIG he can handle what ever your need is.
Ephesians 3:16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Have an awesome week,
Ps Stephen Alexander
