Favor Is God's I'm For You Attitude. God Sets Times For Favor On Your LIfe

God’s Favor can make an extraordinary difference in your life, but it will not happen automatically; it has to be “turned on” in much the same way as you turn on the lights in your house. The power of electricity is always there, but the lights won’t come on until you turn on the switch.  As a believer, you need to release the power of favor that God has already made available.God wants to bless you, personally, with His favor. As you enlarge your mindset to expect and believe for His favor, and as you open your mouth to confess God’s promises, you can find favor with God and man!

Favor is God’s “I’m for you” attitude . It has been said that one day of God’s favor is better than a thousand days of labor. He wants to bless us, promote us and treat us special. “Since He did not spare even His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also surely give us everything else?” God’s answer is a resounding “Yes!” In Exodus 11:.3, God gave the people Favor. Psalm 103. God gives Favor to David.  God sets times of Favor, your job is to show up for the appointment. I am going to the real estate broker, I have an appointment with the favor of God on my house, I am claiming this house. I’m going back to the banker, God is surrounding me with favor, my loan is going to be approved today, I'm going back to the Doctor, God has given me Favor in my health, the doctor's report is in my Favor.  Right now - God is working behind the scenes and arranging things in your favor. He's lining up the right people. God never intended His favor to be found by just a handful of people. Every believer – you and me included - can find His favor and do things that could not be accomplished without it.

Ruth asked for and found FAVOR with Boaz (Ruth 2-4), and became the great grandmother of
King David.David found FAVOR with Saul (1 Samuel 16:22) and with God (Psalm 30:7).
Despite his failings, God refers to David as “a man after My own heart” (Acts 13:22).   
Esther found so much FAVOR (Esther 5:2) that the King offered her up to half his kingdom.
Mary found FAVOR with God (Luke 1:30) and became the mother of Jesus.
Jesus disciples’ had FAVOR with both God and men (Acts 2:47), and the church grew.
 


 Raising Your Expectations
Our expectations have a lot to do with what happens to us in life. If we expect the worst, that is generally what we will get. There is a scriptural principle that says, “as we think in our hearts, so are we” (from Proverbs 23:7). It follows that the level of favor we experience in life will rise to our level of expectation. There is no way around it; if we are to grow in favor with God and men, we are going to have to raise our expectations and believe that God wants us to be blessed with His favor.
What should we expect this favor to look like? Psalm 103:2-6, 17-18 lists several effects of God’s favor. We should expect (or regard as likely to happen) that God will forgive our sins, heal our diseases, redeem us from destruction, crown us with loving kindness and tender mercies, provide for our health and strength, give us justice when we’re oppressed, and extend His righteousness to our children’s children as we keep covenant with Him. And, that’s just scratching the surface of what God’s children can, and should, expect!

Believe It Is For You
Even those who do not have a problem expecting that God will release His favor on His children, sometimes have a hard time believing that God’s favor is for them personally. They say, “It sounds good, but it doesn’t work that way for me. I believe in God, pray, and go to church, but I still don’t experience God’s favor.” They believe in God’s favor, but they don’t believe for it. They need to know that, not only is it acceptable to expect God’s preferential treatment, but that they should believe God for it.
Believing has two parts. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” We need to believe that God exists, and that He will reward us when we seek Him. Each Christian has a need to personally accept God’s promise of favor as being true, genuine, and real – and each has a need to believe for His favor in their life.
It is God’s will for you to experience His favor. Every promise He makes is for you, and as Jesus said, “According to your faith will it be done to you” (Matthew 9:29 NIV).
 
Confess Favor
Favor is not found by following a formula, and it is important to remember that we are not changed by what is in our head, but by what is in our heart. In Matthew 12:34, we are reminded that, “…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”  When we expect and believe for favor, it affects both our heart and our speech.
 There is no better way to express our faith in God than to say the same thing as His Word says. These scripture-based confessions on favor are an example of how you can confess God’s favor over your life:
• God surrounds and protects me with favor like a shield (Psalm 5:12).
• The Lord is a sun and shield. He bestows favor and honor, and no good thing does He withhold from me (Psalm 84:11).
• I actively seek and live by God’s wisdom; therefore, I am highly favored and esteemed in the sight of God and men (Proverbs 3:1-4; Proverbs 8:33-35).
• God’s favor brings promotion and causes me to increase daily (Esther 2:17; Psalm 75:6-7).
• My enemies cannot triumph over me because the Lord has favored me (Psalm 41:11 AMP).
