Re-aligning your expectations


What are you expecting right this minute? Is it to win mega millions in the lottery, chances are you won't need to go back to your secular job? Or perhaps you desire to buy that dream home? Or maybe find the woman/man of your destiny? Maybe you just want to experience some peace and quiet and everlasting joy? Regardless of your expectations, the human body is always in anticipation of something. This is because the human body is always in need of being fulfilled with some type of satisfaction.

Nevertheless, the choices and answers we make from our expentancies depend on the Wisdom within to leads us. We must not wait for one to make us feel great, nor show or tell us what to do or what we should expect in life. Rather, we must learn to re-align our expectations and find out where God is calling us in our walk of Life. This re-alignment comes from bringing our awareness to Divine Truth.

This Divine Truth is understanding our Christ nature which renews our Mind (our thoughts and feelings). The renewing of our Mind frees us from worrying and also expecting and depending on outside means such as the physical/material/financial goods to provide for us. Rather, it helps us to learn that everything first comes from God, our divine inheritance, our source of everything, that causes us to be content and complete in Him, not lacking anything. So if you believe that you are lacking something, then you have failed to awaken your inner possibilities.

It is the possibilities that are endless. It is the possibilities that make all things possible and expects only Good. And it doesn't matter what you accomplish or received from someone, know that it was the cause that came from Divine Truth that supplied for you. The scripture tells us that, "...in Him dwells all the fullness of the God-head bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power" (Colossians 2:9-10). This means that in Christ, who dwells within us, the power of the Almighty reigns. Therefore, in Him which is Christ Jesus, all provision has been given to us to accomplish all things and to have no lacks.

However, if we are not in alignment with the Spirit of God, our earthly bodies will always tell us that we are in need of something. In Truth we are complete. For what is it that you may think you need, but in Spirit you have already received it. Its up to you to make it your realization.

We must ponder on that. In Truth which is God, who is Spirit, that gives Life, which is in everything and in everyone- we are complete. For everything was given to us in the Spirit realm which is the realm where all things were created.

Again, what are you expecting? Even in your expectations you must already see that you've received. Come to the understanding that your expectancy is to know that you already have all things that pertain to Life and godliness. For what you may want or need now may only be a temporary need. When in fact what you deeply desire is eternal joy, contentment in Him. For that is the eternal Life of GOD.

Start today by re-aligning your expectations.
Here are (3)three helpful steps:


First, do a soul search and check your heart the subconscious mind and see if your expecting too much from God or others. Question your motives behind what you ask and wait for. Is your "want", "need" list more then your "gratitude" list? Are you counting your blessings? For what you need is really the want that you already have.

Second, don't have any wrong or negative perceptions concerning your expectation lists. If your list is long, just take some time to study the lesson and find out what you may think is coming from this craving. Do you feel that these expectation will make you happier, bring you more faith etc.? Continue to only focus on reconnecting your Mind in reassuring yourself that you are complete/content in Christ.

Third, activate the knowledge of your divine nature inside of you. Through your self awareness that you are content you will see the blessings of God. However, keep in mind that its not an overnight resolution or a short cut. This is to help us realize that even when we don't see what we are expecting for in the physical realm, know that in spirit it is there and expect no more.

Until then, make it a Productive One,
