Time Between Expectation and Manifestation
KATHY GABLER—Time Between Expectation And Manifestation
One thing that keeps us walking steadily forward in working out our salvation and our purpose is expectation. The length of time between expectation and manifestation is rarely predictable and usually only clear to God and hindsight. In that gap between “the now” and “the future,” that gap between “anticipate” and “achieve,” that gap between “reach” and “hold,” our greatest challenge is to keep processing and not give up. Perhaps we will be more apt not to quit if we understand three things about expectation: 1) Expectation is a force to be reckoned with because it can build a runway for the future. Expectation can be a literal form of agreement that opens a portal into our lives. 2) One snare to beware of is that expectations can lock you down. People tend to watch for and only hear what they expect and so they are blinded to the hand of God moving in any other way. Our single focus on specific expectations can make us miss the real answer to our prayers. 3) Another snare is that expectations are not always positive. People expect condemnation when they feel guilty. People expect failure because of experience. People expect rejection because of wounds. Training and aligning our expectations is one way to prepare to see and receive God-results through process this year.

Preparation for the Future
Marty Gabler—The future doesn’t simply happen, it is built by preparation in the now (and manipulating powers of darkness realize that just as well as the people of God—ready-or-not, awake or sleeping, eyes wide open or eyes closed). The predominant ideal of any time period in history has impact that reaches into the future affecting who and what future generations act out. In our time there is a desperate struggle for security and domination of the future. Some are trying to secure economics, secure political policies, secure real estate and secure borders for the future but we must secure a generation. Our children are a message that we send into the future. The future will not be secured by videos and pizzas. While many are crying out that the church is only one generation away from extinction, I would cry out that the church is only one generation away from dominion over the powers of darkness in the earth. (Jesus said that He would build the Church and that what He built would not see the gates or authorities of hell prevail against it – Matt.16:18. The Church is not at the point of extinction if Jesus spoke truth.) If we have no faith that we are going to be able to draw out anything from our bank account, it is because we know that we have not put anything into it. If we have no faith in the coming generation it is because we have either neglected to impart to them or we have not had anything to impart to them. We’d best get ahold of Something/Someone worth imparting. (Ps.71:18;Ps.78:1-4;Ps.112:1-3) Failure to impart to a generation results in loss that can only be calculated on an incalculable, exponential scale. We don’t want them to have to dig themselves out of a hole before they can go forward, especially when they should be starting out on the shoulders of the generation that is going before them.

Experience and the Future
Sometimes all the enemy has to do is remind us of old battles. It is easy to allow experience to decide our future, but it is not the will of our Father. Experiences 
should mature us… not rule over us. If we allow experience to be the final authority and dominate our thinking, we forfeit hope. According to the Word, we must persevere through experiences to get to hope: Rom 5:3-4 “…but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope.” (KJV) It is interesting that several translations substitute the word “character” for “experience.” “Endurance produces character, and character produces hope,” (RSV). Experiences are meant to process and strengthen our character, not become a set of expectations that overshadow our future. —Kathy Gabler
