Power Of Positive Expectations
Power Of Positive Expectations
Jesus came to change your expectations about who you are and what you can do with God's help. You aren't going to have to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps as you live God's dream for your life. God will be with you every step of the way. God is on your side and has your back. His plan for your life is good for you and is perfect for the type of person that you are. That is why you have positive expectations.

Positive Thinking DoctorPOSITIVE EXPECTATIONS BRING GOOD THINGS INTO MY LIFE
Positive expectations bring good things into my life. They are like a giant magnet that attracts a positive future. They help me live longer and better. Medical research has shown that optimists with positive expectations live longer than pessimists. They have less illness, and when they get sick, they recover faster.
Positive expectations are a self-fulfilling prophecy. When I have positive expectations, I anticipate that good things will happen. I start to think positive thoughts and take positive actions that lead to a positive life.
Negative expectations are also a self-fulfilling prophecy. They are the script for a negative future. When I have negative expectations, I anticipate that bad things will happen. I start thinking negative thoughts and taking negative actions that result in a negative life.
I don't get what I want in life; I get what I expect.
Jesus said, "Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened." I am to ask expectantly, seek expectantly, and knock expectantly.
When Jesus healed people he said, "As you have believed, so it shall be done unto you." Jesus came to change our expectations. He taught that positive expectations are the foundation for a positive life.
AS YOU BELIEVE, SO IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU
Jesus taught that positive expectations are essential to making your life into what you want it to be. He said, "As you believe, so it shall be done unto you."
What is it about positive expectations that make them so important?
1. Positive expectations change your vision. When you have positive expectations, you see possibilities that other people cannot appreciate. While others stumble around in darkness and confusion, you see where you are going, and you have clarity of purpose.
2. Positive expectations change your focus. You radically shift your focus in a new direction, and that focus expands into your life. Instead of limited and short-sighted dreams, you have the privilege of experiencing God's dream for your life
3. Positive expectations take the handcuffs off God. God doesn't push and shove his way into your life. He enters your heart and mind by invitation only. You must ask him to come in and to change the way you think and feel. Once you ask him into your heart and mind, the handcuffs come off God, and He starts making good things happen.
4. Positive expectations change your old way of thinking and feeling. You believe that there is no limit to how good your life can become when you get in agreement with God's plan. When you say yes to God, his purpose and plan take you places that you never dreamed were possible.
5. Positive expectations are a switch that turns you on and starts you moving. The inertia of your old life dissipates as the power of God's love rolls through your heart and mind.
6. Positive expectations make you congruent. Your head, heart, and will now want the same thing and move in the same direction. You get in agreement with God, and become a part of his unstoppable plan.
7. Positive expectations give you courage when you place your trust in God. God is your Defender, the Captain of your fate, and the Master of your soul. He is your Guide and will show you where to take the next step. He knows your life from start to finish, and it won't be over until He says it's over. You have nothing to fear.
MAX OUT ON GOD'S LOVE
Real Power: Maxingout On God's Love
God is love and works by love. The power and presence of God in my life is love. Every time I see love, I see God's hand at work. Every time I feel love, I experience God's presence and power. When my mind is full of thoughts consistent with God's love, my thoughts are healthy, and my mind is exactly the way God means for it to be. When my heart is full of emotions consistent with God's love, my emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be. There is no limit to how good my life can become when I open my heart and mind to the power of His love. God loves and accepts me the way I am, but He loves me to much to let me stay that way. He loves me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and it does not get any better than that. For the rest of my life I will max out on God's love. Real Power: Maxing Out on God's Love is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
