Victory In Christ

“There are few statements in modern Christian thought as bold and disruptive as Oral Roberts’ signature declaration: ‘You must expect a miracle.’ Spoken first in healing tents and broadcast through the early days of Christian television, it became the battle cry of a man who dared to see God move in the everyday lives of people. But beyond its charismatic flair, this simple phrase holds profound implications for leaders and change-makers who understand that inner belief shapes outward results.

“To expect a miracle is not to deny reality—it is to confront reality with a superior mindset. Oral Roberts believed that miracles are not anomalies but divine interventions made accessible by faith. He taught that expectation is a posture of the heart. As he famously said, ‘Miracles are coming toward you or going past you every day. Expect them. Reach for them. Seize them by faith.’

“In these words lies a key leadership principle: your mindset determines not only what you perceive but what you pursue.

“Expectation is the seedbed of miracles. Leaders who expect progress, breakthrough, or divine acceleration operate at a different frequency. They walk with conviction. They communicate with clarity. And they inspire belief in others. Faith-filled expectation is a form of vision. It requires you to see beyond current limitations and imagine what God can do through your life, your organization, and your influence. It’s what I call ‘leadership from the inside out”—where your internal narrative of faith overrides external circumstances of resistance.” ~~ quote by John Marvin
