Expectant Hearts
As the people of God assemble today may His people have a sense of the more that is to come of His purposes and His outpourings. May the hope of receiving and participating fill their hearts with expectancy.
“In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary–we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!” (Rom.5:5, Msg)
Keep Me From Failure
May the Lord wash and cleanse you from every
failure, every doubt and every judgment from
others so that you may enter the coming season
with expectancy for the extraordinary of God.
“Keep me from failure and disgrace….”
(Jer.17:18a, CEV)

New Year For The Battle-Weary
If you are battle-weary, I believe the new year, 2014, will bring welcomed changes. I’m not implying battles will stop suddenly and everybody goes on vacation. I’m saying many long-term battles will end because you finally win. “Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around” (MSG, Pro 13:12). I expect some sudden good breaks in the year to come.

Creative Insights In 2014
In 2014 God is giving us loving and creative insights into impacting people’s lives. People in this present culture are not 
wondering whether or not they will go to heaven or hell if they die, they are concerned whether they have a purpose and what they will do if they continue to have to deal with present moral and cultural challenges. God will speak to us about what He is concerned about in a person’s life while steering us away from pet peeves (religious pet peeves and pet peeves formed from our family paradigms) so that we can effectively impact them with His love and compassion.
**Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they’ll be won over to God’s side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives. (1Pe 2:12,Msg)

Here’s To Your Growth In 2014
May the Lord make the coming year, the people, circumstances and time of it, a fertile ground for your purpose and destiny to grow in. May you grow beyond all the bounds of what you have been told you would never be and never accomplish. May you 
outgrow the small view and reputation that family, acquaintances and culture have believed they had every right to keep you in. May you sprout out on every branch and may every bloom become valuable fruit. May you labor under and rejoice and revel in awesome, excruciating growing pains that bring you to the height of your Lord’s expectations for you in this year. No more withering, no more stunted growth but God-enabled enlargement, production, extension, multiplication and proliferation be unto you for the glory and the Name’s sake of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and His fame in the earth.
And. . . may you declare each point of this declaration until it is a part of you and the doubts in you are crushed beneath the weight of these God-inducing possibilities.
* * * “God sent me to announce the year of his grace—a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies—and to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit. RENAME THEM ‘OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS‘ PLANTED BY GOD TO DISPLAY HIS GLORY.” (Isa.61:2-3, Msg)
God Delivers From Destructive Heritage
In 2014 God will deliver people from destructive heritage. Our merciful and caring God wants to deliver people from the illnesses and/or diseases that their parents had; such as heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, blood issues and mental issues as well as others.
He wants to deliver people from out of the same rut a parent was in; e.g., poverty, stubbornness, temper, anger, dependency on alcohol, drugs or personalities.
I DECLARE that we are coming out of the defeat of generational curses and setting a victorious course for our generation and generations to come. We will enter into and possess promises that former generations never embraced.
Heb.4:6 “Seeing then that the promise remains over [from past times] for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience,
7 Again He sets a definite day, [a new] Today, [and gives another opportunity of securing that rest] saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.”(Heb.4:6-7, Amp)

Engaging God’s Design For 2014
2014 is the time period the Lord has made (Ps.118:24). We will rejoice because the Lord has made it in keeping with His purposes and plans. It is a time period that we may not thoroughly understand nor have a complete grasp of. Yet, the times are in His hand (Ps.31:15). Throughout 2014 we will continue to rejoice because the all-wise God is not behind the times nor even trying to catch up. He has already stepped out into tomorrow and bids us come and partake in His worthy enterprise and we will engage His design with energy and expectation of the extraordinary. May the Lord grant you every enabling blessing for His Kingdom purposes in 2014. Love, Marty & Kathy
“So shall you know skillful and godly Wisdom to be thus to your life; if you find it, then shall there be a future and a reward, and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.” (Prov.24:14, Amp)
Expectancy For The Extraordinary
May the Lord wash and cleanse you from every failure, every doubt and every judgment from others so that you may enter the New Year with expectancy for the extraordinary of Jahweh all through the coming year.
“26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Eph.5:26-27
Expectancy: Variations On A Theme
Let’s take the lid off Expectancy through Variations on a Theme: I have seen artists do variations on a theme, like roses for example. With twenty artists painting roses, the 
colors and shapes and sizes and details vary to such extremes that the results are unique beyond imagination. I believe that it would help us clear some of the fog about our life calling and purpose if we expected a variation on a theme, if we expected our lives to produce a unique expression of obedience. For too long many of us have lived in EXPECTANCY that is limited in scope, especially regarding purpose, calling and fulfillment. Purpose often gets narrowed down to constricted categories as either religious, noble callings or secular, ignoble callings that are simply necessary functions in society. Experience and tradition narrow thinking even further by defining the most noble to be callings of God as those within the church structure or system. Even the gifts of the Spirit have been so narrowly confined that we don’t expect a word of knowledge outside a church service nor do we expect a working of miracles in secular corporations or classrooms. All these limited definitions have dictated our EXPECTANCY level and eventually our outcomes. The theme of all our lives should be to glorify God on the earth by accomplishing the work , (effort or occupation) He has given us to do, (John 17:4, NAU) There is no need to box that in, instead, let’s keep the theme of doing what you were born to do open to the Holy Spirit’s variations. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to direct our EXPECTANCY and determine how we paint a rose in our lifetime.

Holy Expectation
One of our spiritual daughters called to ask me to agree in prayer with her for clarity and direction because she felt it was time to start a business. I was commenting on timing, confirming a God momentum stirring us all to action and change. In that context, I mentioned my earlier conversation with Melissa and our discovery about the number twenty. I heard it take her breath as expectancy struck again. She reached for a penciled note in her Bible and then explained, “Y’all came to Spain in 1993 and prophesied over me. I wrote the prophecy down and have kept it in my Bible for all these 20 years. Every aspect of that prophecy has come to pass except the part about my having a business!” Well, talk about Divine timing, that conversation ended in holy expectation!

20–The Numer Of Expectancy
Recently, we received a text asking the biblical significance of the number 20. I’d remembered that E.W.Bullinger, in his book, Number in Scripture, said that twenty was the number of expectancy. I was on the phone with Melissa at the time I was searching out Bullinger’s book. I read aloud to her his comments on the number 20, mentioning Samson and Jacob as I did above. She said, “That’s interesting. It was 20 years ago I received that prophecy through Kim Clement about being promoted three times to a place of purpose.” That jolted me, because just three days earlier, I too had remembered that prophecy and had asked the Lord where Melissa was in the process of that prophetic promise. I had no idea it had been 20 years, suddenly expectation stirred in me. God had answered my question. The reason we had not yet seen her prophecy come to pass was because it involved a twenty year process to get to an expected end.

Genuine Anticipation
When speaking of expectancy, I’m not talking about false fantasies constructed in moments of distraction, but genuine anticipation that comes from hours, weeks and years of effort and pressing on. After enduring twenty years of Philistine oppression, Israel hit the threshold of expectancy and tasted the beginning of deliverance through Samson. After twenty years of enduring his father-in-law’s manipulations, Jacob finally breathed in the fragrance of expectancy and took possession of his wives, his property and his future. Twenty is the biblical number of expectancy, the kind of expectancy that comes after a long wait, a finally, an expected end. Biblical expectancy is the point when preparation brings results, the point when process yields fruit, the point when equipping fits its purpose. Expectancy isn’t a luxury, it is a necessity because it is both fuel for the journey and the light at the end of the tunnel.

Expectancy
Expectancy can raise our heads and cause us to look beyond the now. A whiff of expectancy changes the atmosphere. The zeal of expectancy searches the horizon of today and stretches toward tomorrow’s. Actually, expectancy can even draw inspiration by scavenging through yesterday. The light of expectancy chases away shadows in your attic. Suddenly, forgotten Potential coughs and breathes again, treasures stand up like dusty “maybes or what if’s.” The whole landscape dances with the winds of expectancy.
