Chapter 4 - What Do You Expect?
"According to your faith be it unto you." --Matt. 9:29
Faith is expectancy, "According to your faith, be it unto you."
We might say, according to your expectancies be it done unto you; so, what are you expecting?
We hear people say: "We expect the worst to happen," or "The worst is yet to come." They are deliberately inviting the worst to come.
We hear others say: "I expect a change for the better." They are inviting better conditions into their lives.
Change your expectancies and you change your conditions.
How can you change your expectancies, when you have formed the habit of expecting loss, lack or failure?
Begin to act as if you expected success, happiness and abundance; prepare for your good.
Do something to show you expect it to come. Active faith alone, will impress the subconscious.
If you have spoken the word for a home, prepare for it immediately, as if you hadn't a moment to lose. Collect little ornaments, table-cloths, etc., etc.!
I knew a woman who made the giant swing into faith, by buying a large arm-chair; a chair meant business, she bought a large and comfortable chair, for she was preparing for the right man. He came.
Someone will say, "Suppose you haven't money to buy ornaments or a chair?" Then look in shop windows and link with them in thought.
