LIFE: Positive expectations/Faith

  • “If you can believe it, you can achieve it!” Perhaps you’ve heard the previous phrase before. It may sound too good to be true, but there really is such power in having posit
    ive expectations. Living with an attitude of expectancy, or having faith as the bible describes it, can be beneficial and make a big difference in our day to day attitude.

    The bible explains faith as the evidence of things not seen. It’s an expectation of what you want. Mark 11:24 reads, “…whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” 

    Did you get that? It says ask, then believe, and then receive! You have to believe it first before it manifests. No matter what the circumstance is or what your physical eyes see, you must believe you’ve already got it. Faith is such a powerful force. If this is a struggle for you, begin small. Believe for something small and eagerly wait in expectation as it manifest. Like the growth of a seed into a giant tree, our faith can begin as a little seed and grow to become great faith if we are determined to be persistent.
