Come Up Higher: A Call to Deeper Fellowship and PurposeSample

HIGHER EXPECTATIONS, GREATER FAITH

Coming up higher begins with raising your expectations. God responds to faith, and faith begins where expectations are born. Blind Bartimaeus expected Jesus to heal him, and his persistent faith moved him from the roadside to the Presence of the Savior (Mark 10:46-52).

If your expectations are limited by fear or past disappointments, you may miss what God desires to do in your life. Instead, align your expectations with His Promises. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Dare to believe that God can do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

Faith is not passive; it requires action. Take practical steps toward the things you are trusting God for. Pray boldly, declare His Word, and remain steadfast even when the outcome is unseen. God honors those who trust Him wholeheartedly.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: For what Promises of God are you believing? How can you align your expectations with His Limitless Power?

PRAYER: Lord, increase my faith and enlarge my expectations. Help me trust in Your Promises and believe for the extraordinary. Amen.
