“Expectation is giving the future something to prepare for.” I didn’t say, “Prepare for the future”—I said, “The future is going to prepare for you!” That is, if you give it a powerful enough expectation. Have you placed a demand on the future? Have you given the future something to prepare for? Your expectation gives your day an assignment that it must go and fulfill.
You must give the day something to be challenged by. You have to give the day something to be inspired by. You must give the day a target to hit. It is imperative that you give the day a great expectation—“a God expectation.”
Normalcy
See, right now you are probably expecting your days to be filled with normalcy. A normal mundane day is one where you get up, get dressed, go to work, experience a stress-filled day, come home, try to find something to eat, sit down and watch TV, fall asleep, go to bed, and get up the next morning to repeat the same pattern over-and-over again. “The level of your expectation is determining the level of your experience.”
“Raise the level of your expectation and see an elevation of your experience.”
Start expecting better. Start expecting more. Take it further than that and start expecting amazing things to happen. Expect the ridiculous, the supernatural, the “way-out,” and the fantastic. Start expecting accelerated results. Expect acceleration, multiplication, debt-elimination, promotion, increase, favor, momentum, and advancement. Take your expectation up to a place that will make the day say, “I’ve never done this before in this guy’s life.” “She’s never inspired me like this before.” “This is expectation like God’s.” “I’m being backed into a corner and being forced to support results that match this person’s expectation.” Perhaps an amazing future has been waiting to reveal itself when it sees an amazing expectation.

I love how we can force the future to respond! In French, “demander” means to ask. But in English “demand” feels like command. Our expectations place demands and issue commands.
That’s Great John! “Our expectations place demands and issue commands!” I love it!
