EXPECT ENCOUNTERS

Proverbs 23:18 KJV
“For surely there is an end; And thine expectation shall not be cut off.”

As a child of God, It’s important you  understand that God is always ready to help you when you call on Him in prayer, but to truly encounter His presence and power, you must have a heart filled with expectations. Without expectation, you miss the opportunity for divine encounters; it is your earnest anticipation that drives your actions and draws God into your situation.

The Bible gives us powerful examples of how expectation combined with prayer leads to miraculous outcomes. When Paul and Silas were imprisoned, they prayed and sang praises, fully expecting God to intervene, and they received their deliverance. Similarly, when Peter was thrown into prison, the church prayed without ceasing, and God responded with miraculous deliverance. These stories highlight that whether you are in a situation yourself or interceding for someone else, the key to seeing a change is your expectation.

So,in whatever situation you face, or if you are standing in the gap for someone else, expect a change. It may not be exactly as you planned, but trust in this truth: GOD NEVER FAILS. Keep your hope alive, and watch as God moves in response to your faith, Hallelujah!.

START- UP PRAYER:
Oh  Lord, increase my expectation as I come before You in prayer. Help me to trust that You will never fail, and let this faith draw Your intervention into every situation I face in the Name of Jesus.
