favor determines the limits of
everyone’s destiny favor is like faith
it demands that God be your source and
your only source you can wear favor
people can see it only one encounter
with favor was worth a lifetime of labor
with favor you’re going to get
confidence with favor all you got to do
is know God
now I want you to get that Saints
because that is one of the biggest
difference between the world and the
church I said God will open up your door
that door can be locked and sealed for
years but when you stand in front of it
it will open up the favor of God is so
powerful till no harassment no weapon no
nothing because God has endorsed you
you’re going into a place now where God
is about to raise you up but I don’t
want you to compromise going up the
mountain come on I don’t want you to bow
to bail I want you to maintain your
stand
and the way you gonna do that is through
Sabre
we are talking about what this idea of
favor is how does favor operate and the
importance of favor in this in this hour
now the when you’re talking about favor
again we want to have this mindset of
the kingdom and a kingdom mindset is not
a religious mindset religion really
can’t deliver anybody it comes from the
Latin root religio which means back to
bondage and it when we’re talking about
the church we’re talking about life the
life that I’m talking about is Zoe it’s
a god kind of life if the life and the
nature that God imparts to us when we
get born again so why not you and I get
born again we now have taken on a whole
new status and we are exempt from some
things that would come that would hurt
you harass you molest you
we are exempt from that I think over in
Psalm 91
he says A Thousand shall fall at your
side ten thousand at your right hand but
it shall not come not you only with your
eyes show you behold to see the reward
of the wicked because you made the Lord
which is your refuge even the most high
your habitation there shall no evil
there’s another superlative
no evil that means not a little bit of
evil will befall you neither any plague
come not your dwelling for he shall give
his angels charge over you and they will
keep you in all your ways so right now
you got angels assigned so as we look at
this he’s talking about favor and I said
you have to have a kingdom mindset on
this because when you’re talking about
any of the promises of blessings of God
those things are activated by faith it
takes faith to active in faith comes how
by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God so I need to hear the word of God on
it so I’ll have faith to receive it into
my life say amen to that so today I’m
going to give you this word on favor
because it’s a part of the release that
you have and this one teaching is going
to change your life this one teaching is
going to be the thing that is going to
enable you to be able to be sure that
you make it to your destiny say amen to
that
favor means to endorse I’m endorsing
someone or maybe I endorse somebody’s
call me people call me it would you
endorse my book form so forth what do
they want they want somebody who perhaps
has done something or somebody that
established themselves or a brand or
something to endorse them to enable them
hopefully to sell more copies and people
to have for it to have credibility so
favor means to endorse it also means to
support support to be able to support
someone whether it be sports one in
terms of a tangible way or support
someone to encourage someone or whatever
to support it means also to assist to
assist the Bible talks about in Psalm
103 bless the Lord ye his angels verse
20 that excel in string
that do His commandments harkening into
the voice of the Lord that these angels
are coming the Bible says in Hebrew 1:14
to assist us their sign to assist us
over in in Exodus chapter 23 and verse
20 he told Moses Moses is about to go
into the promised land behold I send an
angel before you to keep you in the way
to bring you into the place what I have
prepared beware of him now obey his
voice don’t provoke him because you’ll
not pardon your transgressions for my
name is in it but if you shall indeed
obey his voice and do all I speak then
I’ll be an enemy to your enemies I’ll be
an adversary to your adversaries and for
my angels shall go before you and bring
you into the ammonites hittites
perizzites Canaanites highlights at
every sight and I’ll cut them off so you
need some assistance where you’re going
you need some assistance and could be
someone who is a person human assistance
or divine assistance and another thing
that favor is favor also makes things
easier makes things easier that’s that
anointing part of course you know the
anointing takes a struggle out of
everything it is it is it gives you
sweat less victories so it makes things
easier favorite also means to provide
with advantages over to God so God’s
going to provide you with advantages can
you imagine you’ve been in a class or
something like that you’re preparing for
the course in preparing for the final
exam and and then the teacher says you
know I really like you I’m going to give
you where some of these exam questions
are gonna come from so you can study
that and you can have a heads up on the
rest of the class you can rest the
classes that’s not fair yes it is fair
it’s called favor favor ain’t fair
so God can give you insight as to what’s
going to happen and so forth let’s all
put you ahead of the game well all
that’s a part of favor also it means to
show special privileges it show special
privileges and and to be able to
showcase someone or preview someone or
whatever have you pick you out in and so
forth or to feature someone so this idea
of favor again that comes from the
dictionary so these are ideas that you
can get in your mind so you can start
picturing what favor is now favor is a
part of your heritage when you get born
again look at Psalm chapter five please
all the way back and as you are born
again you’re born into favor you’re born
in to the house of God and favor is a
part of what you’ve been born into look
what it says here started verse eleven
but let all those that put their trust
in thee rejoice let them ever shout for
joy because thou Defenders them let them
also that love thy name be joyful in
thee for the Lord will bless the
righteous come on with favor will thou
compass’ him as with a shield so God’s
going to surround you with favor he’s
going to surround everywhere you go you
you’ll be having assistance you’ll
you’ll be featured come on out you you
came in late and got a front seat
whatever have you the favor of God are
you with me here now favor is something
that’s granted is not something for
payment you can’t work for it but it’s
something that is granted and if you
look in the scriptures a lot of times
when you’re talking about favor you’re
talking about something that God has
given to someone that causes them to be
successful where they normally would
fail or causes a door to open which
normally that door is locked
but favor will cause that to happen in
your life say amen to that so it starts
when you’re born again 1 you’ve got to
be taught about favor and you’ve using
your faith to activate favor in your
life and when that favor comes you will
know it because that favor will
distinguish you now as we look at this
also when you’re talking about favor
where do we see it start now look all
the way back here in the life of Noah
look back here in Genesis and chapter 6
please verse 5 he says this and God saw
that the wickedness of man was great in
the earth and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually
and it repented the Lord that he had
made man on the earth and it grieved him
at his heart and the Lord said I will
destroy man whom I have created from the
face of the earth both man and beast and
the creeping thing and the fowls of the
air for it repenteth me that I have made
them so but Noah found what grace now
what does grace mean favor in the eyes
of the Lord now as you know here is God
and basically what he did with Noah is
he picked Noah out praise God
for whatever reason now he took Noah and
picked Noah out and others perished but
Noah and his family were spared
so favor will cause you to be spared
when other people
we’ll fall by the wayside so this is
favor
and then as you going down anybody that
you see god success in the Bible you
will track their lives and see that they
had favor attached to this whatever
success was in their lives now reason
why I’m telling you this is because
you’re understanding favor and relying
on and expecting God’s favor in your
life is key for you to be closer to God
favor is the way to the top tooth out
favor is the way to the top now let’s
let’s just look at this because if we
want to look at the reality of this
thing how many you know the devil does
not like you how many things he like it
– okay now he the enemy opposes you so
when you are sent into the earth and you
and I as the righteous are deliberately
planted among the wicked because we have
the light okay so in that the wicked
then many times being controlled by the
enemy their job is to keep you down to
frustrate you to harass you so forth and
so on but favor turns all of that
favor is the way to the top look what he
said over here over in Luke chapter four
and look at verse five he said the devil
taketh him Jesus up to a high mountain
and showed him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time and the devil
said to him all this power will I give
you and the glory of them for that is
delivered unto me into whomsoever I will
give it if thou will worship me all
shall be thine and Jesus ended and said
to him get thee behind me Satan no let’s
stop right there here’s what I’m telling
you is that the idea is to occupy the
mountain the idea is to get and occupy
or control that sphere of influence same
into that and the thing of it is is all
the way up the mountain you cannot
compromise because whatever you
compromise going up the mountain will
control you at the top of the mountain
so now with favor you’re gonna get
confidence put it up there please put up
there proverbs 24 and verse 5 a wise man
is strong yay a man of knowledge
increases strength what are we giving
you today knowledge look at verse 10
please
out of that if thou faint in the day of
adversity come on thy strength is small
now so what did Daniel do they said
Daniel anybody caught praying to any
other God doing this 30-day period of
time other than this statute of whatever
or the king will be thrown in the den of
lions somebody tell me what did David
Daniel do
he went up in his room didn’t try to
hide open new windows Shanda
and they arrested it they put him in a
Lions in but guess what favor seek the
favor of God is so powerful until no
harassment no weapon no nothing that’s
that to become low mbers
because God has endorsed you
see this favor and and we got to show
you this cuz you’re going into a place
now where God’s about to raise you up
but I don’t want you to compromise going
up the mountain come on I don’t want you
to bow to bail I want you to maintain
your stand and the way you’re gonna do
that is through favor but the way you
get the favor the function is by faith
and the way you get faith is by hearing
so as I give you this today one lesson
is gonna turn you around one lesson
where you would have have been been weak
or faith in that day of adversity now
you all stand strong you all said no no
no I got favor of my life say amen to
that it may not look good right now but
I will keep my joy when his favor comes
on you you don’t have to tell a man
thank you
I better come over here when his favor
comes on you you know oh thank you to a
man
come on up here let’s go with this again
and Joseph was brought down to Egypt
Potiphar and office of Pharaoh captain
the guard and Egyptian bought him of the
hands of the instrument lights which had
brought him down hit now what happened
Joseph was sold by his brothers as you
know to a traveling band of Ishmaelites
some business people and the Lord was
with Joseph and he was a prosperous man
he was in the house of his master the
Egyptian and his master saw that the
Lord was with him and that the Lord made
all that he did to prosper in his hand
and Joseph found what Brinks what’s the
name for it favor in his sight
and he served him and he made him what
overseer over his house come on all that
he had he put into his hand favored the
way to the top the way to the top say
amen to that I’ve had people come up
here before us a pastor you know they’ve
been passing over me for this promotion
and so forth and so on you know and and
what they want well I would you well I
need them to cut me a little slack no
you don’t you need finger call this
favor they don’t have to cut you no
slack come on
God’s gonna cut you some slack
see if God says promote you
there’s not a single person that can
stop your promotion there’s not a
government there’s not a demon
and it came to pass from that time the
time that he had made him over Silva’s
house nor that he had that the Lord
blessed the Egyptians house for Joseph’s
sake and the blessing of the Lord was on
upon all that he had in house and in the
field and he left all that he had in
Joseph’s hand and he knew not all he had
saved the bread which he did eat and
Joseph was a goodly person and what
well-favored Samwell favored he going
and it came to pass after these things
that his master’s wife cast her eyes
upon Joseph and she said lie with me o
and flow ok and and he refused and said
to his master’s wife behold my master
what is not what is with me in the house
and he couldn’t committed all that he
had then to my hand there is none
greater in the house and I neither had
he kept back anything from me but thee
because thou art his wife how then can I
do this great wickedness and sin against
God and it came to pass as she spake to
Joseph day by day that he hearkened not
to her to live by her or to be with her
come on and it came to pass about this
time that Joseph went into the house to
his to do with business and there was
none in the of the men in the house
there within and she caught him by His
garment saying lie with me at this woman
is desperate war
and he left his garment and in her hand
and fled and got him out know her mercy
and it came to pass when she saw that he
had left his garment in her hand and was
fled forth that she called into the men
of the house and spake unto them saying
see he had brought in a Hebrew unto us
to mock us and he came in to me to lie
with me and I cried with a loud voice
and it came to pass when he heard that I
lifted up my voice and cried that he
left his garment with me and fled and
got him out now that you can wear a

your heritage when you get born again
Psalm five and verse 12 says for the
Lord will bless the righteous with favor
will thou compassed them as with a
shield in other words favor is going to
circle you around I mean it’s going to
cover you all the time now notice what
it says this is the righteous he’s
talking about righteous comes when
you’re born again you have to be born
again to get this heritage of favor so
if you’re not born again you can be born
again right now praise God
I remember my life years ago I’d gone to
church as a you know young lad and so
forth growing up in the city my hometown
Tuskegee Alabama but I really wasn’t
born again I knew about church knew
about God but it didn’t know him for
myself but I got much older of course
things changed and I reached out and God
saved me and next thing you know I had a
relationship with Jesus everything
changed in my life favor took off praise
God well the same thing had happened to
you and God wants you to be born again
he wants to encircle you with a favor
that he has reserved for your life so if
you want to be born again if you’d like
to be it’s very very simple the Bible
says in Romans chapter chapter 10 and
verse 9 if thou shalt confess with our
mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
thine heart that God has raised him from
the dead you shall be saved well here’s
what I want to do for you I’d like to do
for you the same as they did for me
years ago somebody prayed this prayer
with me and a miracle took place in my
life
I would like to do the same for you
right now right where you are
so if you know that there’s something
missing you know that you don’t have a
relationship with the Lord oh you might
have been in church but that is no real
thing you got to have your personal
relationship with him and if you sent in
your heart you don’t have this let me
pray for you right now here’s what I
want you to do very simple thing just
bow your head and pray this prayer with
me
dear lord I come to you now just as I am
you know my life you know how I’ve lived
forgive me lord I repent of my sins I
believe Jesus Christ is the son of God
he died for my sins
and on the third day he was raised from
the dead Lord Jesus I ask you come into
my heart live your life in me and
through me from now on from this day
forward I belong to you in the name of
Jesus amen praise God well if you pray
that I’d like to give you send you up my
personal book I wrote it for you
I wrote it with you in mind it’s called
born again it’s spirit-filled it’s in
both English and Spanish these tell you
what the next steps are by you walking

is powerful here it gives you those
steps and you can follow those steps and
