How to Turn Your Dreams into Reality

I Samuel 17:11, 32, 37, 46

If you are to turn your dreams into reality every day that you live you need to expect the best. And this is a great lesson in faith.

There was not an "if" not a "but" not an "and". David went out expecting victory, expecting to defeat the giant and that is exactly what happened. My what victorious songs we have sung, the Lamb has prevailed. My friend, because the Lamb has prevailed, you and I can live with an attitude of confidence with an attitude of expectancy, with an attitude of faith. And God wants us to live in an attitude of expecting the best everyday that we live. Because you see, the Bible teaches that what you expect is what you get.
Jesus said to two blind men, according to your faith so be it unto you. So what do you expect today? Those blind men expected Jesus to heal them and Jesus stretched forth His hand and He healed them because that is what they expected. Whatever you expect to feel, that is what you are going to feel. Whatever you expect to happen that is usually what happens. Whatever you expect to achieve is what you achieve. So what you expect influences your happiness, influences your level of achievement, influence ...
