Pastor James Greer - Journey Church - When You Receive the Favor of God


 To see the vision of God's favor, healing needs to take place. Know that the purpose God has for you is bigger than you can imagine. Change your perspective to one of redemption no one in darkness. God will work things out in your favor.


When You Receive the Favor of God

What is the favor of God?(Psalm 90:16-17,NRSV; TEV)

When God takes the ordinary and does the extraordinary. A father shows favor to his children by showing them grace, guidance, protection, and provision. Mary received the favor of God when she believed in God. She activated the favor of God when she obeyed.

Activate the favor of God.(Luke 1:37-38,NKJV)

When you have the favor of God and activate it nothing will be impossible for you because God is with you. When you commit to living according to God’s word, you begin your journey to the favor of God.

When do you get the favor of God?

The favor of God is a lot like the grace of God.(Ephesians 2:8-10,AMP) At salvation, He gets your sins and shortcomings and you get God’s grace and favor. Grace and favor are free. God gives us favor so we can do good works and do it with joy. God has already one ahead of you and prepared a path that leads to the good and favored life.

Reminder of what good works are:(Ephesians 2:10,AMP)

How do you behave among the unsaved?(1 Peter 2:12,NKJV)
Do you give your money to further God’s Kingdom?(1 Timothy 6:17-19,NKJV)
Do you show hospitality and minister to the ministers? Do you help those in distress?(1 Timothy 5:10,NKJV)
Do you invite people to church and give them resources?(Matthew 5:16,NKJV) Good works of suffering: Are you a great witness while you suffer?(James 1:12,AMP)
Do you finish the race?(2 Timothy 4:6-8,NKJV; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27,NKJV)
Do you use your gifts and talents?(Matthew 25:14-30,NKJV)
How do you submit and support your authorities? (Hebrews 13:17, NKJV)
When you have the favor of God, it’s not an obligation to do good works, it’s an opportunity.

Blessings of the favor of God received at salvation:

No more condemnation. (Romans 8:1,NKJV;1 John 3:20, NKJV) There’s nothing you can do to be separated from the love of God, nothing! (Romans 8:35-39, NKJV) Because you have God’s favor you can be more than a conqueror in any and all situations and circumstances. When you mess up, confess the sin and get right back into the game of God’s love and forgiveness.(2 Timothy 2:13,

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
