When you anticipate, you are in position to wait for what you believe will happen. There is no place in the Word of GOD where anticipation was ever let down or yielded disappointment. GOD has not said or has ever said anything HE did not bring to pass. Even people who do not have a relationship with GOD cannot disprove HIM.
Anticipation that arises when you read GOD's Word is a strong catalyst to your faith being increased and rewarded. You know something is going to happen and you are anticipating it and probably making ready for it in the natural realm. When you want something to happen at its basic level, that is exhibiting hope. Hope has a tendency to be patient in its initial stage. It can produce itself all through out the day and show up in your day dreams. Hope can be a security blanket when one feels threatened, that things are bound to change for the better in your situation. Hope is relatively calm and collected. It really does not go past what you perceive.
However, anticipation can be dangerous! Your faith has triggered a spiritual adrenalin that will have you to call on those things that are not as though they were.
You believe the promises of GOD are for you and you prepare yourself to receive. You don't and won't allow circumstances, people, time or demonic influences to take possession of what you believe belongs to you from GOD. You can taste and see it and you are ready to take possession of it. You may find yourself reminding GOD of HIS promise to you. You will declare HIS Word in the atmosphere around you and you will walk in the arena of receiving that which belongs and is promised to you. Anticipation is certainly dangerous to any counter activity that presents itself against your faith and expectancy in GOD.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
You have a Father in GOD who is pleased by your faith. HE desires for you to expect good things from HIM. HE desires for you to seek HIM and HIS promises for you and your life. HE ushers in expectancy because HE is a relationship driven GOD who showers HIS people with HIS love. It is impossible to spend time with GOD and not receive from HIM. Your anticipation is very much warranted because HE is a GOD who does for HIS people all the time. HE is in the doing realm. HIS Word have actions and even HIS breath is action.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Anticipate with GOD and let your faith arise! HE operates HIS Word and has never failed to perform it. Be overly expectant of receiving from HIM. Be confident in HIS ability to perform what HE says HE will do. Locate a promise for you in HIS Word and proclaim it faithfully for yourself. Then allow yourself to anticipate receiving from your Father. Do not neglect the opportunity of developing your relationship past receiving from HIM. There is such a blessing in knowing Father GOD and desiring to see HIS heart for HIS people. HE will not let you down. Shalom.
