the eleventh verse the Acts of the Apostles the twelfth chapter and the eleventh fish if you have it's a man if not I'll wait a moment so happy for my musician brother Mike Brown being with us today you have it's a map here the beginning of the reading of God's Word and when Peter was come to himself he said now I know of a surety that the Lord had sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews and when Peter was come to himself he said now I know of a surety but the Lord had sent His angels and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews so far the scripture our subject tonight look at your neighbor and say neighbor expectation that's what we'll talk about you may be seated in the prison expectation expectation I am thine O Lord I've heard my voice and it's full toward me how in the arms of faith and become so true to thee draw me me never blessed no to the cross where the draw me nearer blessed Lord to thy precious bleeding consecrate me now to thy service Lord by the power of grace TV Honda let my soul look up with a steadfast never - the prophets please and when Peter was come to himself look I'm hurry up - wretches - the precious bleeding time it comes to you to be close to you three well well well G to that Brandis inside say true library time ah one more ah fresh ow Oh our subject tonight such the night is expectation expectation is a strong and powerful word I looked it up in the oxford dictionary so I would get the definition right here's what it means and English dictionary a strong belief that something will happen a strong belief that something will happen or be the case and what makes this word so powerful is the fact that the expectation belongs to the expectant in other words you can you and I can look at the same situation and have very different expectations proverbs 11 and 23 gives us a great example it reads the desire of the righteous is only good but the expectation of the wicked is wrath the condition of your heart and spirit determines the outcome of your expectation then I've given you the oxford dictionary so let's go to the Greek in this text it's a feminine now Tikvah TI qvh and it means a chord English tous it was a strong belief that something will happen or be the case the Greek or that the Hebrew word tells us that it is a chord expectancy hope thing that I long for the outcome in the Greek it is prosto kiya which means by implication or anticipate it it means looking after I'm going to reform refer more commonly to the Greek I mean to the Hebrew definition because I think expresses the truth that I want to emphasize it is a chord or a ground of hope the definition of faith according to Hebrews 11 and 1 is now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen so you really can't have a real hope or you can't have real faith if you're not hoping for something yeah I'm not gonna be long I promise you I got I got my instruction uh no I got I got the paper now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not saying hope is a part of faith hope is the substance that you desire to occur yeah I don't know that came from but it's okay everybody missed your saying the sound Mamet Laurie so now take a bite I'm up I'm telling you so Li hope or expectation is the core so the question comes to mind what is the cord connected to you see faith is not wishful thinking faith must be preceded by a word if you do not have a word you cannot have a premise for accurately Paul says Paul says in Philippians he said not having mine own righteousness which is of the law but the righteousness of God which is by faith let me just deal with that for a moment I'm planning on dealing with it but let me do a little for a moment you see you can do everything religiously and still not have faith you can file and you shut follow the rules you should follow the ordinances and the Word of God because without the Word of God you have no premise for your faith but you can say I did this I did that but if you don't have the anticipation and the hope connected to what you do then you really don't have faith all right all right now y'all gonna make me work hard here today summer you understand that faith repeat after me say faith is an expandable commodity now say together faith is an expandable commodity now what do I mean by that I mean that you should have more faith this year than you had last year but not as much faith as you gonna have next year see a lot of us serve God to a degree we get to a point and once we acquire a few things through faith we plateau Romans 10 717 says so then faith cometh by and hearing by there are at least two expectations to whatever you do or whatever you are involved in whatever you face there are two expectations there's your expectation and there's the enemy's expectation all right all right to understand that faith is expandable means that there should always be a longing for what's next not that you haven't learned how to be content I like to explain it this way you remember the story of let's see it was Rachel and Leah you remember that story all right it's kind of like I tell it everywhere I go to Baptist lady the pastor was saying you know the store she yelled out from the back yeah but we pay you to tell him I'm not don't lay a brother Norfolk don't laughter so Rachel couldn't have any children got it Leah and all the surrogate mothers was everything children all right but when she finally had a child her faith was seen by what she made it she named him Joseph and what Joseph means is the Lord shall add in other words I know I just got what I've been snotting and crying for but my expectation is that he has another one so that's the reason that's the reason you don't have to be jealous of your sister when the Lord blesses her you don't have to be mad with your brother because he got what he been praying for because I got news to bring to victory Cathedral God has not run out and the blessing your brother got wasn't the last one let me make it more personal the last blessing you had one the last one he had but when you plateau you lose your desire for more stay with ma'am I'm going to Jesus went on vacation intentionally stayed longer than he was supposed got word that his friend Lazarus was sick he said okay they said he's at the point of death all right I'm stay here a couple of more days and finally got up he told her the disciple said let's go what we're going we're going to wake up Lazarus he said well if he if he sleep he's doing well see there's a language of faith that anyway that's another message he looked at him and said he's dead okay and I'm glad I wasn't there when he died because I'm getting ready to explode your faith I'm getting ready to push your faith into another dimension and when he got there Martha ran and met him and said where were you Jesus I know I sent that man early enough for you to get here cuz he been back if you left with him you would have been here that's that's what she was saying if you had been here oh lord have mercy then my brother would not have died in other words what she's saying to us is that I had enough faith and enough expectation and enough time to get you here because if I know you and I do know you I know if you would have got here in time you wouldn't have the funeral not only did we had a funeral you didn't even attend a few act like a guru this Jesus looked at her and said Martha do you believe that you'll see him again she said yeah in the resurrection at the last day Jesus said you thought the resurrection was a day well the resurrection is a person I am God have mercy I loose limit let me back up let me go listen I'm trying to get to my subject so your honor he just preached a whole Bible I won't know what I think I left out a key ingredient on purpose of Martha's confession because faith must be in your heart but it also has to be in your mouth I'm trying to keep this under wraps so I can deliver my little speech but would you look at your neighbor and say neighbor say it the problem is the problem is we are free to speak our expectation because the devil uses the dark of doubt to make you say what if it doesn't happen so faith Mishka has to be in your hand but it also has to come out of your mouth it takes grit guard gumption to stand and declare what you want to happen in the midst of an adverse situation somebody hollered me expectation Martha then said unto Jesus Lord if that if thou had has been here my brother had not died now let me tell you something about faith how much time I got how much time let me tell you something about faith let me tell you something uh fee I don't know when the policemen get off I want you all to get out to life look I'm picking up everything that I'm seeing yo I got cops ain't got no cops y'all got cop let me taste of my faith now you see faith goes beyond your capacity to intellectualize it the minimizer faith is the substance thing so for now faith is the substance things over and the evidence of things not saying through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God hmm so I was riding in my car I heard the celebration of those that sent the rocket or whatever it was into orbit and it's now reached the atmosphere of Jupiter and it was trying to see if ammonia and you sugar and water pumps that's the truth and I'm sitting there saying I already know how the world was believe me it was made and formed by the through faith I understand what is impossible for me to comprehend faith gives me to know it that's why when people say huh you ever seen God tell him I know he's here alright let me let me get back to my men and so faith faith speaks it's hard to hang around the word and not develop faith the Bible says that the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul so when you sit around the word it converts you that's the reason the devil wants you to take vacations from church because if you constantly hear the word I'm getting ready to get happy now if you constantly hear the word it builds up your and the Bible tells you in Jude building up yourselves on your most holy faith so you have to get involved with your faith and a lot of our faith is anorexic it's because we haven't eaten and not only in jest but digested you begin to walk by faith then you have to lose vision of what you see I'm going somewhere Willard she says if you had been here my brother would not have died but even now somebody say even now but I know that even now whatsoever you ask god I heard about what you did in to wedding in Cana whatever you ask God God will do it she didn't know that with her testimony and then Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life whoever believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die and then he asked her he said believe it down this and she said yes Lord he then asked her do you understand this he didn't ask her have you figured this out all I need you to do is believe and she made a confession when he asked her said do you believe me she said yes Lord then she went on back to the house and got her sister but she had already released her expecting I told you that there were two expectations - whatever you do whatever you're involved in and whatever you face the devil and those that he's using at the time cuz I'll I found out you know y'all have what is it rent a home y'all had that brother well you can go get a washing machine you can get it for a day week whatever or you can rent it to own it which mean you just pay on it I think that's what the devil do with the some of the things he don't own us he just rent us in certain situation not his desire is to own you don't don't look at nobody I don't want you leaving intima oh you rent to own I know you I don't want you doing that I don't want you doing people's expectation can move you if you don't say something to stop it for instance in acts 28 when Paul and and those that were with him came on boards and broken pieces of the ship and they escaped to the island Malita and Paul and others were gathering sticks to make a fire the Bible says that a viper jumped out of the fire and bit Paul and he shook it off back into the fire after he was bitten the barbarians had an expectation for Paul they stood around expected him to drop dead as a matter of fact just as quick as that happened they had a conversation - Oh Lord gods the gods are really after him because he escaped the peril of the sea he was lucky he got off only to come here and be bitten by a venomous snake and they were expecting him to drop dead to become paralyzed and then fall out and while they're waiting he's still gathering sticks because he had a different expectation he had an expectation rooted in what Jesus said before he left here he said in my name shall he cast out Devils he shall lay hands on the sick and not negotiate with him but they shall recover and if you drink anything deadly it shall not harm you he said you shall take up serpents and it won't hurt you he had an expectation that the word was absolutely right so he shook look at somebody as they shake it off it not you you you don't need cuz some folk are expecting you to drop day everybody I want you to go visit and sigma2 everybody that comes visited you in this hospital isn't expecting you to get up they just want to get a full view so yeah I will of song the other Lord they just yeah it ain't gonna be long now when ho another day charted just Soufan i just earth just look at your neighbor and say expectation let me close I could preach longer let me let me finish in our text Peter has been put in prison if you look at that first verse it says about that time Herod the King stretched forth his hand to vex the church see there are things that are happening in our world there are things that are happening in politics and you may think that it's one thing but it's the enemy desiring to vex the church and what did he do he grabbed Peter and James and killed James and put Peter in prison to hold him over to after the holiday oh it's in there the third verse says he did it because it pleased he saw it pleased the Jews in other words there are folk that I upset with victory Cathedral you better hear what I'm saying this ain't uh a country club this is the Church of the Living God and it's a fight I know the church has couched itself in an ecumenical position and we're afraid to say anything we're trying to go along just to get along but I want you to know when you finish going along just to get along they still not go like you if you're standing for holiness if you're standing for righteousness if you're standing on the name of Jesus so the King said oh y'all like that huh we'll kill the next leader after Christmas after Easter and they put him in jail and they had him on lockdown and said don't let this man get out cuz when I hit him my approval rating winner when I attacked him people seem to like that so they bound Peter in Chains had a quatrain of soldiers and put him in the inner prison meanwhile the Saints were praying I say the Saints were praying and while they were free the Bible says Peter sitting in his prison unlike what happened with Paul and Silas Paul and Silas was making noise they were praying and singing hymns and songs and God came in and shut the whole prison and loosed everybody's changed in the prison - so much that the prison captain was going to kill himself the Paul had to get out do yourself no harm we all here and I like the God moves differently in different situations he can shake the jail but it can also be smooth this was God being a smooth operator he sent an angel into the jail smoke Peter on both sides and only his chains fellow lifted him up and guided him out of the prison without anybody knowing he was gone he was so smooth until Peter didn't know if he was dreaming or we and that the angel not only got him out of the prison got to the gate of the city in the door open without anybody touching it hey lord I think it and Peter walked out of the gate of the city and then the angel says see and left and that's where we find our verse when Peter came to himself he said now I know for sure that God had sinners ancient I know now that it wasn't a dream look at somebody say it's not a dream it's not what God is getting ready to do is gonna feel like a dream when he doing it but it's not a dream he said now I know of a surety that the Lord have sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of him here's something that we all need to be delivered from we need to be delivered from the expectation of others I'm closing now you see as long as you are living in the expectations of others you'll never fulfill your own expectation I had to learn that God had to deliver me from what others said about me maybe I'm talking to myself so I'll testify I know as pastor Norval was talking about singing like me man when we first started singing they told me I couldn't sing they told me I couldn't write songs they also told me I couldn't play the piano but God had to deliver me from all of the expectation you see what you have to understand is that if you're living to please people I feel like preaching now if you're living trying to meet the measure of what other folks have for you then you'll be sadly disappointed because they'll always find somebody else to point that is better than you because what I've discovered is that folk if they can't control you they have to try to bring you down look at your neighbor and say neighbor say I've been delivered from the expectation of others yeah tell your neighbors in need I'm not worried about what they seen because I've been delivered out of all the expectation what does that mean that means that time in you I know they over at the victory celebration and I know they lied to church the Cathedral they just they just they're called smoking and saying oh I do I believe me I've heard that but how many know that that you got to be delivered from their expectations you gotta say I know what God has done and because God got me out I might as well let him get me completely I feel like talking to somebody I want you to stop calling you'll be F F to get their approve for what God is doing in your life because if God is anointing you come on I have to be comfortable in the isolation of the anointing God is gonna move you into a place where you're by yourself and I promise you it's gonna look like it's getting worse before it gets better but the one thing that keeps you holding on look at your name is that I have a great expectations I have a great expectation in other words I believe that where I am now is not where I don't it I believe that God it's getting ready to open some doors yeah want you to understand that faith has expectation oh I want you to know that I wouldn't be where I was if I hadn't been delivered from the expectation of others I look at your name and say neighbor if I don't get anything else tonight I'm getting delivered from your expectations I gotta go home but I want you to understand hey has to come out of your mouth hey have to see God is gonna do what it promised me God is gonna give me what it promised me God is gonna lift me up to a higher height it's gonna kill my momma hurts God it's gonna save my baby God it's gonna bring my family back together yeah shout out everybody slept the Bible says the expectation of the righteous shall be granted I'm gonna try that one more time the expectation of the righteous shall be granted for those in the back I said the expectation of the righteous shall be granted grab the hand of the person standing next to you I Got News for you that the world is groaning in earnest expectation for the manifestation of the sons of God who I want you to know that the world is expecting somebody that has an anointing on their life don't come get them out of what they're in yes I got a pray but I just feel the preacher come on you understand that God never calls you to possible but he always calls you to impossible because it doesn't want you to look to yourself to get it done he doesn't want you to lean to the right and it doesn't want you to lean to the left he wants you to trust in his word Oh Lord I have an expectation God is gonna do just what he said that God is gonna give me what he promised me yes jessa no matter how wild it seems no matter how impossible it seems a god is evil is evil God is evil grab your neighbor by your hand father in the name of Jesus right now rekindle the flame awaken the dream give them back their whole time you said you're gonna do it time and you got to do it time say
