The Power of Expectation
There is nothing more liberating than the power of expectation. When we find ourselves in a distressing situation, the mere belief that it will change instantly alters our reality. Although nothing has shifted in the physical realm, our hope reconfigures our way of thinking. Once our minds have gone through a transformation and reached beyond what is real in the natural then we begin to experience a new reality... our truest reality.
If we are in dire need and someone has promised to meet that need, the promise alone releases all of our fear and anxiety. Although that promise has not yet come to pass, our expectations begin to purge the feelings and thoughts of despair and hopelessness (this is why being faithful to what you promise is crucial). We become reignited in our faith and redirect our focus towards the physical deliverance. Therefore, because we are already experiencing the victory in our being then our trials and tribulations are actually separate from who we are.
If we're able to go through a complete metamorphoses and make a shift before we have been in fact relived of what troubles us, then we should not be consumed and bound by our hardships. In fact the deliverance has already taken place. As long as we have the power of expectation, we can live beyond what we are experiencing and transcend into the indwelling promise which is ever-present. Remember what is inside of us, ultimately has the power to overcome anything that is outside of us!
