Just a few words upon “Expectations.” Now, I want you to give me just very close attention, if you will. This is a little difficult. Standing here, already there’s an anointing. And then trying to come over to speak on the Word, it’s—it’s a hard thing…?…now. Expectations, usually, every one…Can you hear all the way around, everywhere, all right? Can you hear back, way back in the tent?…?…Well, that’s fine. Down this way, all right? Can you hear down in there? Fine. Now, you usually get what you’re expecting. And if you come to the meeting tonight to criticize, or to make fun, or just to stir up…?…the devil will give you something to criticize, and he’ll give you something to arouse your curiosity. You get just what you’re expecting. And if you come tonight expecting to see the Lord in His work, God will show you Himself, and will give you such peace. If you’ll just come tonight expecting to be healed, you’ll be healed. You get just what you expect.
