Faith Is Expectancy Part II: The Art of Trusting, Preparing And Expecting

Have you ever experienced a deep-down certainty that something wonderful was on its way? Not just hope or wishful thinking, but a soul-level knowing? That feeling is expectancy—the true essence of faith.

In this powerful continuation of "Faith is Expectancy," we explore how to transform your relationship with manifestation by trusting before seeing, preparing as if your desires are already unfolding, and living from a place of relaxed certainty. Drawing from Neville Goddard's teachings, which state that "your inner assumptions create your outer world," we learn to reverse the conventional approach of needing to see before believing.

Through the compelling story of a woman who found love by preparing for it instead of merely asking for it, we witness expectancy in action. She cleared closet space, set a second place at her table, and wrote love notes to her future partner—and within months, she met her husband. This illustrates the profound difference between passive wishing and active faith.

The episode offers five practical strategies that you can implement today: preparing the way for your desires, speaking from a place of having rather than lacking, using the "feel it real" technique, recognizing synchronistic signs without demanding proof, and creating anchor phrases to maintain your certainty when doubts arise. Each strategy helps you embody the person who already possesses what you desire.

Most importantly, we explore how to utilize the moments before sleep—when your subconscious mind is most receptive—to plant the seeds of manifestation through vivid imagination and simple affirmation. Because faith isn't about waiting to see before you believe; it's about expecting to see because you already believe.

You felt the shift, the pull,the glow or something becoming
real.
Well, that right.

Not hope, not wishful thinking,but a deep, soulful expectancy.
So today's episode is part twoof Faith.

(00:43):
expecting.

one of Faith is Expectancy theart of trusting, preparing and
expecting Now.
If you haven't had anopportunity to listen to part
one of Faith is Expectancy, Iencourage you to go.
Do that now, because today'sdiscussion builds upon that
foundation.
In this episode, we dive deepinto the heart space where faith
becomes more than just aconcept.
It's a lived experience.

(01:04):
So grab a pen and a pad and ifyou're ready, let's begin.
Hello and welcome to anotherempowering episode of
Transformative Living Radio.
I'm Andre Flax, your host andcertified life and leadership
coach.
In today's episode, we want tocontinue with part two of Faith

(01:26):
is Expectancy the art oftrusting, preparing and
expecting.
Now again, if you haven't had achance to listen to part one of
Faith is Expectancy, Iencourage you to pause it right
now and go listen to it first,as today's discussion will build
upon that foundation.
Now, in his book Faith is yourFortune, neville Goddard teaches

(01:50):
that your inner assumptions,your inner knowing, is what
creates your outer world.
You don't wait to see things tobelieve it.
You believe first and then yousee it.
But the question is, how do welive that way?
How do we believe first andthen see it, versus seeing it
and then believing it?

(02:11):
Well, that's what today'sepisode is all about the art of
trusting the unseen, preparingas if it's already done and
expecting miracles like they'reyour birthright, because the
truth is they are.
Now there's a story about awoman who wanted to be in a
loving relationship.
She was so determined to getinto a relationship that she

(02:35):
continued to pray, makeaffirmations and visualized
herself being in such a lovingrelationship.
Well, one day she heardsomething so profound it changed
everything for her, and thatwas stop asking for love and
start preparing for it.
Now, upon hearing that shecleared out spaces in her closet

(02:55):
, she set a second place at herdining table, started writing
love notes to her future partnerand moved as if love had
already been in her life.
Well, three months later shemet the man who would become her
husband.
Now that is expectancy inaction.
Ask yourself, who would I be ifthis desire were already mine?

(03:21):
Start being that person rightnow.
The Bible describes faith inthis manner Faith is the
substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.
That means the moment you feelthe reality of your desire
before it's physical, it alreadyexists.
It's like placing an order atyour favorite restaurant.

(03:43):
You don't doubt the kitchen,you don't follow the waiter
around, you don't sit there inanxiousness wondering if the
food will show up.
You expect it and because youexpect it, you relax.
So let me ask you when youimagine your dream, whether it's
for a healed body, a lovingrelationship or that next level

(04:06):
of purpose are you approachingit with a relaxed expectancy or
with anxiousness and desperation?
The difference between the twois significant.
In his book Faith is yourFortune, neville emphasizes that
the key to faith is apersistent assumption.
Assumption essentially means anembodied belief, the state of

(04:30):
knowing it's done, whichinfluences how we move, speak
and live from that understanding.
Now here's the beautiful twistthat most people miss you don't
wait for evidence before youbelieve.
You believe, and the evidencecomes as a natural echo of your
inner world.
So how do we practice this inreal life?

(04:53):
How do we walk in faith and notfear?
Well, let me share fivepractical strategies to help you
start trusting, preparing andexpecting.
Strategy number one is toprepare the way.
Let me give you the scenarioNow.
Suppose you got a call from afriend or family member

(05:15):
notifying you that they weregoing to be visiting in town and
they wanted to stop by to seeyou.
You wouldn't wait until theyshowed up at your door.
You would start preparing fortheir arrival, wouldn't you?
Well, in the same manner, youwould start preparing for their
arrival, wouldn't you?
Well, in the same manner, youshould start preparing for your
desires like it's alreadyunfolding Want to move to a new

(05:36):
city?
Start researching the home orthe apartment that you're
looking for.
Want to write a book?
Start blocking out time in yourcalendar to write.
Strategy number two is to speakfrom the state of having or
possessing what you desire, andnot struggle.
What do I mean?
You see, the words we speakcarry frequency.
So stop talking about what'smissing and start speaking from

(06:00):
what's manifesting in your life.
Instead of saying I'm tired ofbeing single, say I love how my
life is preparing me for thatbeautiful partner.
Now, this is not delusion, it'sa declaration.
Strategy number three is whatNeville calls feel it real.
Now, this technique requiresthat you dedicate at least five

(06:20):
to ten minutes daily to make theend result feel real daily.
To make the end result feelreal, meaning close your eyes
and imagine the scene.
That would only be true if yourdesire had already happened.
Feel it, see it, touch it inyour mind and let the emotion of
that fulfillment move throughyour body.

(06:42):
Now, that's the energy thatcreates worlds through your body
.
Now, that's the energy thatcreates worlds Now.
Strategy number four is to watchfor signs, not proof.
Often, when you live withexpectancy, you'll notice small
signs, like conversations,synchronicities or dreams.
Now, don't ignore them.
These are hints from theuniverse indicating that the

(07:04):
bridge of incidents is forming.
But don't demand proof, forwhen we demand proof, it only
pulls us back into doubt.
Finally, strategy number fiveis to create an anchor phrase.
Sometimes our mind slips anddoubt sneaks in, and when that
happens, you should have aphrase that you can return to

(07:26):
Something like it's done, orthis or something better is
unfolding, and then, finally, Itrust the timing of my life.
These simple phrases ground usback into knowing.
Now, as we wrap up this episode,let me leave you with this
thought Success in any endeavorrequires faith, and true faith

(07:49):
is expectancy.
Now, you didn't just stumbleonto this podcast by chance, and
you're not listening becauseyou're weak or broken.
You're here because your soulis prepared, ready to walk in a
new purpose, to believe in a newway and to live as the person
who has already possessed whatyou once longed for.

(08:10):
You see, faith is not aboutwaiting to see before you
believe.
Faith is expecting to seebecause you already believe.
Faith is expecting to seebecause you already believe.
What if you stop asking whenwill it happen?
And instead ask how can I alignwith it now?
What if you walk through theweek as if the prayer has

(08:31):
already been answered?
Because the truth is it has.
You just haven't caught up toit yet, but you will.
So here's what I invite you todo tonight Right before bed
close your eyes and imagine onescene, one beautiful, vivid
moment that represents yourdream fulfilled.

(08:53):
It could be a hug, a phone callor a sunset walk.
Make it real.
Or a sunset walk?
Make it real, feel it in yourbody, smile into it, let your
heart say yes and as you driftoff to sleep, simply whisper to

(09:13):
yourself it is done.
Remember the subconscious mindis most impressionable right
before sleep.
That's when the seeds take root.
You're not hoping anymore,you're trusting, you're
preparing and you're expecting,because faith is expectancy and
your inner world, it's creatingmiracles already.
