Expectations
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
As far as God’s kingdom is concerned He will always exceed our expectations. Let’s read what Paul wrote to a community of believers in the Roman Empire during the first century.
Philippians 3:20-21
“But our homeland is in heaven, where our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is; and we are looking forward to his return from there. When he comes back, he will take these dying bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer all everywhere.”
What Exceeds all Human Expectations: Heaven, Jesus, His return, Jesus taking our dying bodies and changing them into glorious bodies like His own, and His mighty power.
Exceeding Abundantly above all…
Ephesians 3:20
“Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever and ever.” “Amen.”
God will always do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. He will always exceed our expectations in our prayers, dreams and thoughts. As Christians we will have high expectations of God if we know what the Word of says about Him we understand that God isn’t limited in power, and knowledge.
Elijah was probably the prophet that was a prototype of what a prophet should be. He was a man who knew God and the unlimited power of God. He raised the dead, he saw miracles. He challenged a wicked king and queen in Israel and predicted their demise and it happened. He fasted for 40 days. He ran with a chariot for miles and saw fire come down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice he offered to the Lord. He said it wouldn’t rain for 3 and a half years and it didn’t.
Yet after a great victory when he had the prophets of Baal killed he ran from Jezebel and ended in a place all alone and wanted to die. He was discouraged yet God loved him so much that Elijah didn’t see death. Wow, what a merciful and loving God we have.
Let’s believe that in 2025 God will far exceed all our expectations as we study, believe and apply His Word.

March 2025 Prayer for prodigals, family, and other lost loved ones.
Acts 11:11 And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter; 14 he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’ 15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?” 18 When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
This was the conversion of Cornelius the first gentile to be saved. It was a powerful moment because up until that point only jews had believed, but now God was doing something new for the whole world. Many of us have family that we want saved. We know prodigals we want to see in church again. We know there are many many unbelievers in our city. We want the churches to be filled with new believers, and with believers that have stopped going to church. The Lord's desire is that the Kingdom grow through new salvations. Let’s pray new believers find a place to grow and be discipled. Let’s pray people come to church and experience Jesus. So they and their whole family might be saved.
1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Let’s pray people who need the Lord experience Jesus. A feel good message that sways people with an intelligently made case is not enough. People need a tangible real experience so God’s power will reach into their hearts. Pastor Jon
