hmmmm, what to say what to write, what to write what to say? No clue, itll come itll come. hmmmm. And here it is(after about 45 mins)
Mark 11
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
A couple months ago if you have read the blogaroo, you will remember that I headed out to the grocery store with $41 for a whole weeks worth of groceries. Before leaving I prayed "Jesus, if you can take a couple fish and loaves of bread and feed thousands, surely you can take this $41 to cover our needs, amen." Sure enough when I got to the cashier I was over $41, she asked "how much do you have....I'll cover the rest". You see, I went to the store in expectation that my Provider would provide. He did, he showed up and said I will provide.
Last night I heard something about a friend of mine, it blew me away. I had to talk to him, i had to, so i did. He goes out to "hang out" with lonely people, homeless people. He just goes. When speaking with him he said he just got it one day that if he doesnt walk that step forward he isn't giving God enough credit to show up. He has an expectation that is inspiring, his take on it is expiring, he is quite honestly...inspiring.
If I don't take the first step, how is God going to answer prayers? If I don't expect prayers to be answered will they? When I went to Aldi in expectation, He showed up. When I said I do not need to smoke, He showed up. When I need wisdom and know he will give generously, He showed up.
All that is great and true, but maybe I need to increase my expectations, I need to increase them to great expectations.
God, you know the desires of my heart, I pray that you search them, remove all that are not of you, bring them to my forefront so I can bring them to you. Thank you for showing up, thank you for my family, thank you for wisdom, thank you for sending your only son to be my example, thank you for sacrificing him for people that are unworthy. God I pray this in great expectation, that you will not only cover my families needs, but our families family, I pray for single parents out there, please give them the perseverance that they need, please provide favor to them, please watch over the children and break the cycle. Thank you for a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, food in our cabinents. Thank you for my famliy. God I pray humbly that you come down with Jesus and flex your muscle I pray that you show up to blow my mind, I opray that you come down to flex your muscle and do something that no logic can explain. I pray that you provide wisdom for me to lead my famliy, I pray that you provide wisdom in finances, i pray that you provide prosperity, favoe anf your blessing in our finances. I pray that you come down and do this that can only be explained by you, that there is no logic, that it furthers our testimony of who youa era and it furthers your kingdom. I pray that you bless me to build your kingsdom, I pray that you remove the pride from me like a surgeon with a scapel, painlessly and leaving me healthy and alive. I thank you for sending your son down here to face the biggest trial that anyman or woman has ever seen. I pray for your wisdom, I thank you for everything that you have done in my life, for never giving up on me when you had every right to, for keeping within eyesight of me, for grabbing my feet and putting them where you want them, for carrying me when I needed it, for providing redemption, for giving me my wife for my children, for Jackman, thank you heavenly fatehr, thank you. Jesus I pray that you prvide favor and blessing with my job, put me where you want me, help me further your kingdom, provide blessing, provide financial blessing so my family doesnt have to suffer for my dumb choices I made, so I can provide for my family. I pray humbly in your only Sons name Jesus. Amen
Ok, had no clue i was going to do that, but I'm going with it. I have great expectations in my provider. Jesus, in your name...move this mountain.
It is what it is, and this be it
