When I worked in a corporate setting, I always tried to be prepared for any situation I found myself in– especially in meetings with my boss and other managers. Even though I couldn’t have been prepared for a season of infertility, I look back on that time knowing that a level of preparedness and expectancy were indeed possible. Not for the infertility itself, but in how to deal with negative situations that arise in life. There’s a framework that can be utilized that incorporates the power of God’s Word.
Now, many years after being done with working for others, I still am wanting to be prepared for challenges that come up in my personal life. And I continue to find that my best method of getting prepared is to consistently go to God’s Word and look for His promises that are applicable to my specific situation.
When you’re in need of a miracle, it’s always good to have a heightened level of expectancy. Expect that miracle! One of the ways to increase expectancy is to PREPARE your mind and heart for that desire/miracle to come to fruition.
7 Tips – P.R.E.P.A.R.E.
As you prepare your heart and mind, here are seven tips to consider:
Praise God in advance. Even before you see the manifestation, assure yourself of His goodness and His willingness to do good for you. Be grateful and tell Him “Thank You” that He has already made a way.
Renew your mind to the truth and power of His Word as it relates to healing, finances, relationships, etc.
Expect God to be faithful and to do what He said. He always keeps His promises. Visualize what you find that His Word says about your circumstances. PREPARE by waiting with faith and patience.
Post His promises where you can see them in your everyday environment. Doing so will help you include His faith-words in your prayers so that you can be more specific in your requests to Him.
Advance toward the miracle by consistently doing small things that align with it. Align your everyday conversational words with the promises in His Word. Confidently speak the powerful name of Jesus to your circumstances.
Repeat God’s promises aloud. Hearing them builds your faith and it continues to point your faith to the miracle. Consider them your personal pep talk!
Expect/anticipate your miracle to manifest how God desires. Wait for it with gratitude in your heart and in your mouth.
WHETHER YOU’RE FACING INFERTILITY, A HEALTH CHALLENGE IN THE MIDST OF COVID-19, OR A STRESSFUL FINANCIAL CONDITION, you can continue to have an expectancy for good things to happen in your life.
Continue to look to Jesus– focus on His love for you.
PREPARE for His greatness to be revealed in your life!
No other gods are like You; only You work miracles.
-Psalm 86:8 CEV
