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)

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.
