Expecting A Miracle

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

This sermon challenges believers to cultivate a spirit of expectation for God's miraculous intervention in their lives. The pastor addresses how fear and circumstances can dominate our thinking, preventing us from believing God for breakthrough. Drawing from the healing of two blind men in Matthew 9, the message emphasizes that faith attracts heaven's attention and that God works according to our faith, not just His sovereignty alone. The sermon confronts the tendency in modern Christianity to dismiss miracles as belonging only to biblical times, arguing instead that God remains actively miraculous today. It calls believers to align their hearts with God's will, remember His past faithfulness, saturate their minds with Scripture, and speak faith over their circumstances before seeing results. The pastor emphasizes that expectation creates action, and that God is looking for people who will believe Him for impossible things despite the size of their giants.
