Expectation

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands … All these blessings will come on you … .
Deuteronomy 1:1 – 14

The way Dr. Todd Coontz started out life, many people would call him a loser. He failed grade two twice. He was hyperactive; he took Ritalin three times a day.

But then, on a Friday night at age 10, he had a visitation from Jesus. Jesus told him I have called you to be an evangelist. Millions will be saved because of you.

The next day he was miraculously healed of his hyperactivity and never took another Ritalin pill again.

He eventually became a poorly-paid pastor. He was tested big time — his monthly expenses were nearly twice the size of his salary.

Once when he was praying about his finances, the Holy Spirit spoke to him saying

To get what God has, you have to do what God says.

That changed his life.

Jesus, the SAVIOR and the PROVIDER

He knew that Jesus is the Savior and that is for after we die. But, he realized, Jesus is also the Provider and that is for here on earth.

He also realized that there are conditions to deserving to be provided for. There are biblical principles that need to be followed.

The principles can be found in various places including Deuteronomy 28 and Malachi 3. They include

♦ Obedience
♦ Tithing
♦ Faith
♦ Expectation
