When God wants to speak to me about something He often does in the form of food for though. The last few weeks/months I've been musing on my level of faith and expectation for God to move. I have faith in God, I'm grasping more of who He is every day but I think I've gotten so used to reasons why He might not answer my prayer or show the world His awesome power that I've stopped expecting to see things happen...
This doesn't utterly depress me as I meerly see it as an opportunity to bring a bit of balance to my spiritual life. The plus of where I've been is that I'm not going to throw all my toys out of the cot if God doesn't do what I ask, all I need is an injection of faith.
With these thoughts and prayers going round my head more frequently in the last two weeks I was over the moon on Sunday when it turned out God's not just saying it to me but the whole of Revelation Church. Roger stood up and in his rough and ready style read from Isaiah 43:
"See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
And streams in the wasteland."
God wants to do a new thing but we have to look for it, expect it, be ready for it. Excellent stuff! Then Malc Garda stood and to paraphrase said "I have to share what God's been doing in me. I've asked God to raise my expectations and He's shown me angels, given me words of knowlege and shown me answers to my prayers."
I'm really excited. Every morning during my prayer time I've been praying, "Help me raise my expectations, I want to see you move..." Watch this space. God's good and I'll be telling everyone about everything He's done... xc
