Faith in God’s Blessings

Favor is God’s full attention and power committed to prospering me in all areas of my life according to 3 John. By grace’s very definition ‘unmerited favor’ it means there is nothing that I can do to earn that favor. If there is nothing that I can do to earn the favor then there’s nothing that I can do that would disqualify me from walking in the full blessing and favor of God in all areas of my life. All I have to do is BELIEVE that what God said He will do, He will accomplish. The only “sin” that you can commit that would disqualify you would be the sin of unbelief. The sin of unbelief doesn’t disqualify you but rather it interferes with the manifestation of favor in your life. If you think about it, the only reason that you would doubt that you receive would be because you thought that you didn’t deserve it or maybe you believed that you did something to disqualify you from receiving. Therefore, if you just take God at His Word, nothing you can do can stop His blessing from manifesting in your life.

This is how spiritual law works. Just as gravity is a physical law — faith is a spiritual law. Faith works every time it is put to work. Everything in the physical realm was birthed from the spiritual realm. In order for God to manifest his multiple blessings in the physical realm in your life He needs you to operate in faith. Faith is the key that opens the floodgates so that the blessings can flow in. God has already blessed us with every blessing and earthly favor but you need to release it into your life. You unlock the floodgates by faith in God’s goodness and in knowing that His desire is to pour out blessings and favor on you. It’s faith in the integrity of God’s Word knowing that what He said He will do. It’s faith in understanding that God’s power is more than enough to deliver you, promote you, provide for you or heal you. The key to walking in faith is to let go of fear and worry. As you let go of any worry that you have you are demonstrating that you have faith that God is in control. As you let go of any fear that you have then you are showing your faith in your Father. “All things are possible to him that believes”

  1. While reading this Matthew 18:3-4 comes to mind.
    And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

  2. Good word Dave. You have been talking to me about this for a long time now and I’m finally there. I believe that my seminary training retarded my walk of faith. Seminary taught me to study the Word, to teach the Word, but it failed at teaching me to walk in faith. Thank you for being a faithful friend and a consistent testimony of one who takes God at His Word. Al
