THE REALM OF EXPECTIONS 4-17-26 VIDEO EXPECT TESTIMONY
So what are you expecting in your life? Are you expecting good, kindness, beauty instead of ashes? We need to lift our eyes high and believe what God says. The word realm refers to a Dominion. A kingdom of God, overflowing with endless possibilities. We have an anticipation for good not for evil. A specific event or outcome. The expectation of the return of Jesus.
Live in expectation that something has shifted in the Spirit realm. Were now working in a revelatory season where we can access Heaven like Never before.
Isa 30:18 And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

5 Then you will see with understanding and be radiant. Your heart will be thrilled and swell with joy. The fullness of the sea will flow to you and the wealth of the nations will be transferred to you!

13 but we'll hardly notice. We'll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.
14 So, my dear friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace. MSG

4 He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.
5 We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort - we get a full measure of that, too. MSG

2 I know of an encounter in Christ fourteen years ago, where a person was translated into the third heaven.
3 Only God knows whether it was in or out of the body; it does not really matter to me!
4 This person was caught up into paradise! There he heard words that could not be articulated into language; he understood a conversation that did not originate in human thought!
5 Of this encounter I will confidently boast because it has nothing to do with anything that I did to promote myself! I would rather glory in that which emphasizes my failure to get it right by myself! Divine revelation is a gift, not a reward! MIRROR
ROM 8:18 That's why I don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times.
19 The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next.
20 Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in
21 until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens. MSG
ROM 8:22 All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birth pangs.
23 These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance.
24 That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us.
25 But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.
MSG

Heb 10:35 So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing!
36 But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion.
37 It won't be long now, he's on the way; he'll show up most any minute.
38 But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and runs, I won't be very happy.
39 But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We'll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way. MSG
