SERMON NOTES:

Creating Godly Expectation part 3

The preparation to anticipation leads to Godly expectation.

Four reasons why we don’t expect God to do big things in our lives.

1. We complicate God.

Instead of simple obedience we allow Satan's lies to complicate our faith.

2. We don’t have the knowledge of who God is.

God is a Father first.

Psalm 103:13 NLT

Matthew 6:25-30 NLT 

patḗrfather; one who imparts life and is committed to it.

pa;  nourisher, protector, upholder.

Fail to uphold; to desert (abandon), especially what has already been trusted or embraced.

3. We feel we don’t deserve to live in God’s blessing.

Romans 4:6-8 NIV

When we don’t believe our sins are no more, it restricts or stops us from believing for more.

4. We have prayed prayers that God did not answer.

Five reasons why God might not be answering your prayers:

  • 1. What you're asking for is not good for you and not aligned with God’s will. 
  • 2. He has, but you don’t like the answer.
  • 3. God’s not listening.
  • Psalm 66:17-19 NLT

    1 Peter 3:7 NLT

    • 4. Timing
    • Perseverance and Patience is important to us maturing in our trust in God.

      • 5. Lack of faith
      • James 1:5-8 NLT

        Psalm 34:9-11 NLT
