What is a reasonable expectation?

Ever wondered what the difference is between a reasonable expectation, a hope and a knowing.

 In the below message I explain the difference. 

“Will God heal me?”, someone might ask. 

As this person spends time with God by studying the Bible he will develop a reasonable expectation that God has all ready healed him as 1 Peter 2:24 states. “By Jesus stripes we are healed.”

As we spend time with someone we will get to know the person more and more. We will learn what the person likes and do not like. We will understand the person better because we are learning the person’s character. It is the same with God. As we spend time with God we are learning His character more and more. 

This in turn creates a reasonable expectation for us with regards to the promises God has for us. Once we have a reasonable expectation we can attach our faith to it to pull the unseen promises of God so that it manifest for us.
