The great ‘faith’ reset …
Have you noticed how the internet seems to know exactly what you want? You search for one thing—just one thing—and suddenly, that’s all you see. You type “cats” into Google, and now your whole world is cats. Cat videos, cat memes, cat food advertisements. It’s like the algorithm bends itself to your desires, creating a big Google ‘bubble’ that shapes reality around your expectations.
Imagine if faith worked the same way. What if your spiritual life operated on an algorithm—if the things you consistently believed for, the things you dared to expect from God, became the pattern that shaped your reality? It’s a good question because that’s exactly how it works. Jesus made it clear: “According to your faith be it done to you” (Matt. 9:29). If you believe small, you receive small. And if you dare to believe for the impossible, well…
It’s time to reset the algorithm.
Your Expectations Shape Your Reality
Jesus didn’t give His disciples a modest, daunting mission. Neither did He tell them to go out and try their best, hand out a few Alpha invites, and maybe—if it’s not too much trouble—say a little prayer for the mildly unwell. No, He said:
“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.” (Matt. 10:8, ESV)
That’s audacious! It’s Tyson Fury fight talk…
It’s not a suggestion either; it’s a command. Oops.
Now, pause for a moment—along the way, the algorithm got clogged up with doubt, disappointment, disillusionment, and religious caution. Somewhere along the years, the expectation for miracles became optional, even questionable. We started so well, and then we started typing in, “God, just help me get through the day,” instead of, “God, let Your kingdom break in with power.” And just like that, our spiritual feed filled up with small prayers and low expectations. And cats.
It’s time to start searching our hearts differently.
What Are You Feeding Your Faith?
The reason Google knows what you want is that it tracks what you engage with. It pays attention to the things you click on, the things you linger over. And your heart works the same way. Proverbs 4:23 warns us, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
If you fill your life with messages of doubt, fear, and powerlessness, then that’s what you’ll expect from God. Conversely, if you fill your life with the Word, with testimonies of healing, with the raw, undeniable power of the Holy Spirit—then suddenly, the algorithm shifts. Suddenly, faith starts rising. Suddenly, you start expecting more. Read Acts over and over, then read it again, and let it encourage, capture, convince and convict your heart because expectation is the breeding ground for the miraculous.
If you are a prophetic person who doesn’t read your Bible (including Leviticus and Numbers, etc.), then this is an imperative for you. As you read and read, your ‘spiritual algorithm’ will fill up with a much greater understanding of what God is doing, saying, and accomplishing—you’ll be speaking from a vast wealth of God’s revelation and self-disclosure…
Time to Overwrite the Code
Jesus never walked into a situation thinking, “I hope this works.” No, He lived in absolute certainty that the Father’s power was at work—He expected healing, expected deliverance, expected resurrection. And because He expected it, He saw it.
You and I were never called to be spectators in this gospel, sat in the safe, warm cheap-seats in stadiums—not once. Ever! We were called to be conduits of the Spirit, God’s lightning conductors! Jesus didn’t say to the disciples, “Watch as I heal the sick.” He said, “YOU will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:18). He didn’t say, “Watch me raise the dead.” He said, “Truly, truly, I say to YOU, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do” (John 14:12).
Wow! It isn’t just ancient history—this is for right now, today.
If you’ve been living in a world where miracles are rare, where breakthrough is for other people, where God’s power seems distant—then it’s time to reset the algorithm. It’s time to raise your expectations. It’s time to ‘Nike!’ – other brands are available.
The Algorithm of the Kingdom
The kingdom of God operates on an entirely different algorithm. The more you press in, the more you see. The more you expect, the more you receive. Be relentless, audacious, and hungry for God. Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matt. 7:7). He wasn’t joking, and He’s not laughing at us. He wasn’t speaking in enticing metaphor—He meant every single word.
You want to see the sick healed? Of course you do. Start praying for all the sick you can and expect healing. You want to see the dead raised? Start praying with resurrection faith. You want to see cities transformed? Stop lowering your prayers to what seems reasonable, doable, achievable.
It goes without saying—2025 is not a time for passive Christianity. This is so not a time for playing it safe. The world is desperately aching for a demonstration of the raw power of the gospel, and you, my friend, along with others, are the one carrying it.
So right now, as you look away from this screen, start searching differently, intentionally, purposely. Purpose in your heart. Start believing differently. Start speaking to yourself and each other differently, and watch as the spiritual algorithm shifts—until all you see, all you expect, all you experience is the in-breaking power of God.
When you set your heart on Jesus—His kingdom, reign, and Lordship—you don’t just get more of what you expect; you get exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ever ask or imagine.
