You Have Found Favor with God (Luke 1:26-38)

There is nowhere we can go, no place on earth, no situation whatsoever that is beyond God’s ability, reach, and power to effect the divine will.

The Annunciation, by Liviu Dumitrescu Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary. When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.” She was startled by what…

Blessing The Blesser

God-fearing servants follow the example of Jesus and use their leadership position to bless and serve as many people as they can. In blessing others, we are blessing the God who has already blessed us and who longs to bless us for all of eternity!

God's Favor Toward His People

For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield (Psa 5:12).   We show someone favor when we treat them with special kindness, granting them a blessing or improving the quality of their life. God’s favor refers to the goodness and blessings He bestows on others. His favor is based on His sovereignty, for He is under no compulsion to act, but does…

The Lord Bless You and Keep You

Introduction In a world that often feels tumultuous and uncertain, finding a source of true peace and enduring comfort can seem elusive. In church this morning, though, I was reminded of a blessing in Scripture that has been spoken over God’s people for thousands of years—the Aaronic Blessing (called that because God told Moses that this is the blessing Aaron is to speak over God’s people) from…

The Simple Yet Profound Revelation of God's Favor

Ever wonder what God's favor was really about? I did for years, and I had a revelation about it the other day. Keep reading to see what God showed me.

The day I’m writing this post, I rediscovered a song I’d heard years ago but had forgotten about: “God Favored Me” by Hezekiah Walker (lyrics here). It reminded me of something I’ve questioned since I was little: what is God’s favor? The answers I got never seemed satisfactory. It’s like people would jump through hoops to try to explain why Christians get it but not others. Or they’d equate it…

The Favored Woman and Man

God needed a vessel — one He FAVORED above ALL women to be the Mother of Jesus. “The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!….” (Luke 1:28) God chose Mary to be the First Lady of our faith. She was found faithful. She was the first to believe in Jesus as her Savior and Lord while she still carried Him in her womb. Yes, Mary was highly favored, but it still meant she…

The Vision of Jesus (Luke 10:21-24)

The vision of Jesus is that all kinds of people, not just a certain segment of winners, should enjoy God’s favor.

Cristo de la Concordia (Christ of Peace) in Cochabamba, Bolivia At that time Jesus was filled with joy by the Holy Spirit and said, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth! I thank you because you have shown to the unlearned what you have hidden from the wise and learned. Yes, Father, this was how you were pleased to have it happen. “My Father has given me all things. No one knows who the Son is…

Just Grace...

What I’m going to share with you tonight will lead you to a lifetime of freedom, if you want it. Just grace. As simple as that.

We live in the time period called. “the Grace Administration.” We use grace in connection with style and fluidity…

W6D3: How do you know as you continue to ask, seek, and knock which is it?

It’s important to know who to ask when you are trying to get an answer. It requires asking the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you as you seek it so that He can answer and help lead and guide you wherever you are headed. As for knocking, my prayer has been and continues to be asking God to bolt shut any doors I shouldn’t go through and to open the right door so wide I can’t miss it. This week I…

Honey in the Rock

In yesterday’s blog, I spoke about the natural craving we should have for God’s Word – like a baby craves his mama’s milk. His mama’s milk gives him the sustenance and nutrition he needs for life. How beautiful — God’s built-in mechanism for satisfying hunger. And as we crave God’s Word, we receive the sustenance we need for living a victorious and overcoming life. I love the song “Honey in the…
