“For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them.” Psalm 44:3
The favor of Christ comes to those who walk by undeniable faith and are willing to lay down their lives for Christ.
The requisites are a sincere heart for God, willing to endure pain and suffering and living by faith through all the ups and downs of life.
The favor of God will fall on you at His discretion and His perfect timing.
You cannot influence God to favor you.
You must walk by enduring faith believing in the promises of God when all you see is bleakness.
It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit. Your own efforts will fail you every time.
God is not impressed by your religious contributions or attempts to keep laws.
The true believer reaches out to God for help to meet His every need.
You have to wait upon God. It is impossible to change His timing.
Loyalty to God is defined by your obedience to the voice of Christ.
Jesus becomes aroused when He sees your faith waiver depending upon the conditions in your life. He loses patience with those who grumble or complain about the lack of God in their life.
Your journey with Christ will not be predictable or conform to the ways of the world. From God’s point of view you are just a pilgrim on a trip to your eternal home.
The testing of God is designed to strengthen your faith and sustain your patience in waiting upon God.
God is unflappable. Find your security in Him.
Come to Jesus by faith and make your goal to live in oneness with Him anchored to the Holy Spirit.
God keeps His promises!
