The Time for Expectation is Now (3 of 8)
Series: The X Factor
Frank Damazio
Introduction: All things are created twice. Vision is the first creation, expectation is the desire of vision. For a house, it's called "blueprint." For a life, it's called "mission." Now is the present time, in the present circumstance. This present moment is our time to renew our heart of expectation concerning our future. I desire to remove all reasons not to expect "now" great things from God. If you have a temperament that always expects the best or a temperament that struggles to expect anything good, be encouraged. God is greater than our temperaments.
