THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LEADING US TO THE PLACE OF DIVINE FAVOR.

The place of provision, protection, and blessing. 

Psalm 5:12

You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;  With favor You will surround him as a shield.

Beloved, thank the Lord for His divine favor wherever you go.  

Thank Him for direction that will lead you to the place of favor.

Favor means: to give freely, to bestow grace upon.

I have had this happen so many times in my life.

Even yesterday as I prayed for direction and favor.

The trim around my windows on my car came off, my car is over 20 years old, so things happen.

I heard in my spirit to take it to an auto shop that I have used for years.

The guys there did not know how to fix it.  However they directed me to the ones who could fix it.  

Following the lead of the Spirit, lead me to the place of favor.

Not only did the other place fix the one trim that came off, but he also fixed the trim on the other side that was starting to come loose.

That place didn't charge me a dime.  God's favor. 

I had something to bless them with, that reminded them of God's love for them.  I received a big hug.

Divine favor is a gift of grace from our Lord.

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;  The Lord will give grace and glory;  No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

It is so important to listen to the Holy Spirit's leading.  That still small voice.

How wonderful it is to belong to God's kingdom while living on this earth.

Beloved, we do have favor wherever we go, because we take God wherever we go.  He lives inside of us.

Make a conscience effort to remember that fact.

When something seems to go wrong, do not fret,  God has a plan either to bless you or some of His other kids. Usually both!

I have learned that when it seems something is going wrong, look for Jesus in it. He orders our steps.

Psalm 37:23-24

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way,  though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;  For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

The next time that you feel like your back is up against a wall, stop, and ask the Holy Spirit what is going on?

Our human reasoning will take our mind to places of fear, doubt, and unrest.

Beloved, trust God, He will bring good out of any situation that we find ourselves in.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him,  And He shall direct your paths.

So, Beloved, expect divine favor when you step out into your new day.

Do not allow you mind to wander  to the place of what if's.  There is no what if's in Jesus!

2Corinthians 2:14

Thanks be to God who always leads us to triumph in Christ  and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

Concentrate on the word, Always, and see that God is doing the leading.

 2 Corinthians 3:5

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.

Beloved, expect divine favor, God is working in our life.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

This is such wonderful insight. no matter the situation, our Father already knows all about it and He delights to reveal His faithfulness to us, if we are willing to yield it all to Him and rely on His love and mercy and let Him work.

Thank you so much for reminding us that we are trusting Him in all things, because in the moment of stress it is easy to forget!!

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OUR WALK WITH THE LORD.

Have you ever noticed that as the seasons change so do we? (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season,  A time for every purpose under heaven: (Read 1-8) We also have seasons in our life. When at times we have little fellowship with others and other times we have great fellowship. We have a time of new understanding, and of seeing  our Lord in a new light. Brighter than before. As we grow in the Lord our inner circle seems to get smaller, and that is okay, as the Holy Spirit is doing a work in our life.  Don't look at what's past, but instead look ahead, having an expectant mind and heart knowing that God is moving things around in your life and adding new people in our life. When we choose to follow Jesus all the way, and shake off this world and its system, people will leave our life.   Some want one foot in and one foot out, they twist the scriptures to fit their desires.  That doesn't work!! Take another lap around the mountain. (Like the chil

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk i
