Spirit and I I really believe that somebody needs to hear is tonight. And for more reasons than one
But I'm just gonna lick you with a few scriptures
Make my points and I'm out of here tonight. I want to talk to you about
favor but more importantly how to access favor
when you are in positions or
Circumstances where it seem as if it's not accessible at all. So we're gonna look at a few scriptures tonight
And we really gonna get into it
But I'm gonna make it quick because I really want you to get the gist of what I'm saying to now make it
Practical to access the favor that you so desire. All right
Now remember tonight teaching is I need favor many of you out there. You need that right now somebody of a job interview tomorrow
Somebody have a problem on the job and tomorrow is reckoning day or day of decision on your fate as it relates to
Remaining on that job or whatever the case may be you want to access free ones?
So as usual, you know, I believe in the rules and the laws of the Bible and it's just a matter of us
Looking specifically for what the Bible up to say about these particular
circumstances and begin to apply those rules to and apply those laws that
Has been been put in place just for us
So I want us to start off tonight very quickly to turn to proverbs chapter
3 and we're gonna look in verse 1 to verse
4
proverbs chapter
3 and we're gonna read from verse 1 to verse 4. Okay. Now, what are we going to read our
Laws and instructions. Okay, meaning that when we begin to put these things into practice
We should expect
That God will now intervene and now manifest his word because you're gonna come in agreement with his word
And what do I always tell you the Word of God are his laws. These are his rules. These are his principles
so we want him to do the things that
His law requires
Not only do we come an agreement with it his covenant, but we must now make it practical. All right
So in proverbs chapter 3 and again from verse 1 to verse 4 what verse 1 says?
My son forget not my law circle at work
Forget not my rule
Forget what my principle forget not my ordinance my precepts my commands my son forget not my law
but let thine heart keep my
Commandments this is also synonymous with laws rules principles policies
So verse 1 of Pearl chapter 3 is I mean setting the foundation right here
That have we gonna go any further in anything it is that you want to require from this God that we serve
it must begin or
Initiate it must be initiated by us following his rules as in to how to achieve what to maintain it
So verse 1 of proverbs 3 says my son forget not my law
but let thine heart keep my Commandments now watch what is going to do when we keep the laws of God and
When we impregnate our hearts
With his Commandments verse 2 is now gonna give a result of this
verse 2 of proverbs 3 as a result of proverbs 3 verse 1 says
for length of days and
long life and
peace shall
They add to the circle a word they
What is this date that's gonna cause these things to be added to us, which is length of days that
long life and peace
well
When we go back to verse 1 it says it says when you keep my laws
when you keep my laws when you hold fast on my Commandments then the
Inevitable that that will produce will be long life
length of days and peace unto you
now listen to verse 3 because it's about to give some more laws or instructions verse 3 says
he says let not mercy and
truth
forsake thee I
want us to take our time here now because
We good at reading past these things and missing the law because that's what it is
the scripture is telling us here that
We
must not
Forsake or neglect or toss aside?
showing mercy to others and
also
Exercising truth on a consistent basis
the scripture is saying that when I
Manage mercy in the lives of others and I couple that but always being truthful and honest in my dealings
Watch what happens it says let not mercy and truth for safety. It says now you must bind them
what is this them mercy and truth bind them upon thy neck and
Write them upon the table of die. Not so that mean this is extremely important. That's what it mean
Okay, he want me to literally make this a part of my life mercy and truth now. What is the result?
When these two things come together, well, you'll find it in verse 4
Verse 4 says so shalt thou find
favor
How am I gonna get favorite member with this topic is I need favor. I need it. Now. How do I get it?
He says do not forsake mercy
Show kindness to others show mercy to others those who may not even deserve it exercise. These are laws. These are rules
He shown you if you follow these rules, then you will get this favor that you seek
he say you exercise you extend mercy to others and you are always truthful show integrity in your
Dealings and in so doing social they'll find favor
Not only favor but good understanding
So if the prefix is good before the word understanding, so it means that there is also bad understanding
but if I follow the simple rule of
exercising mercy and truth on a consistent basis then favor now becomes the
inevitable forming
But the basis of all of this is that I am fall the rules of God money
So many of you pay pray or have been pray father, I need mercy. I'm I'm up for a promotion
the promotion exercise is coming next week or I have a situation with the bank or whatever your case may be in right now or
You've done it before you say lord. I pray for favor. Now while praying for favor is a good thing
It is even better when you follow the scriptural laws
That will result in giving you favor
Seen this this is what we don't want to hear because once we got to go through some process or something we become impatient you
Need it now. Well, if you really need favor, then you'll do whatever it takes to get that favor, right?
so the scripture is saying here and I love it verse 3 of
proverbs 3 it says let not mercy and
truth
for safety
Don't abandon it
Well, if you need favor it now and let me tell you how the rules of God work whenever
There's something that you want from God, right? I
Promise you no matter whatever it is. Whatever the scriptural laws are
That will enable you to get it trust me. It's going to present itself. I
wouldn't be surprised right now if someone oh
you money and
they cannot pay you and
They call you right now, and they said Peter listen
I know I promised to pay them more but I really don't have it and things don't work now
How come all of a sudden he's calling on? I'm asking for favor when the scripture says now show mercy
You could say right now. You know what bro? Listen, we all fall under problems. I tell you what, forget it. Keep it
Don't worry about it. God bless you with that you exercising mercy
The situation come up where you could be dishonest would you decide to be truthful you're exercising truth?
So he says he says forsake not mercy and truth
He said is so important. He says to to bind it upon your neck and
Write it upon the table of your heart
Find what upon my neck mercy, and truth, right what upon the table of my heart mercy and truth
and verse 4 now gives the
After all a process after a protocol it now gives the conclusion of the result as to what you're gonna get
He says listen carefully so shalt thou find
favor
Fine, I like that word fine because it really in the case
I must now search so that me when I go on a job tomorrow. I mix I'm going to find favor
with my boss favor with my supervisor
I'm going to find favor tomorrow when I go to a job interview because I'm seeking it. I'm following the rules
So I'm going to that spot to find it
It should be there waiting on me because I'm following the laws that will produce the favor that I'm seeking
Listen, I mean I don't know about you, but I I have developed such a love for the Bible after
years of
Understanding, there are laws. There are rules. There are principles. That's what the Bible is
The Bible is in a book of throwing you in Hell or catapulting you to heaven
the Bible is a book for you to enjoy life now by following the laws the rules the principles and enjoying your life and
in heaven will just be an elevation of
What you've been living here
So follow that rule it as simple as that, he says do not forsake. Mercy. Do not forsake truth
in fact
Write it bind it upon your neck right at the part of the table of your heart and in so doing shall you find?
Favor and good understanding before God and man
Okay so favor if you do the right thing think about some where you could assist think about
something that you have the
opportunity to be dishonest in but you know what you're gonna take the high road and you're gonna be frank about the morrow and
Show mercy and you will find favor must now. Go ahead
That's what I like us for to find it. I gotta be looking for it
So therefore if it's in a hospital if it's on a job, whatever it is, I want favor
Once I follow the protocol of God then my anticipation
Based on my belief of his laws his rules his policies and his principles that I expect to find favor
wherever it is that I am speaking favor from the
scripture says to us in Acts chapter 7 it says that God gave
Joseph
Favor in the sight of Pharaoh. Now, what is favor what I really look at that word favor
one of the meanings of it is to show kindness it also means to
To do something for someone that is unexpected. You just do the dog
Mayor kindness you just want to be good towards someone there's nothing that they did to prompt it. It's just how you feel
so when I when I look at it from that perspective, I
see favor now as a
Spirit that's what I see and in order to get the spirit to work in my favor that I must follow this
spiritual protocol
So, how do I get favorite of work how not and I understand flavor as a spirit
How do I get this spirit to submit to what I want? I must not forsake mercy
I must not forsake you why because the rules of God the laws of God, which is his word his Bible. These are the superior
Ordinance for the unseen and the seen world when I speak or act upon the Word of God
The spiritual world must now come an alignment with the Word of God, you know questions to be oxi, you know discussion
We don't need no committee. We don't need a school of prophets. We don't need none of that
so favor is the spirit and
When Joseph came before Pharaoh and he interpret those dreams just the favor of God was released
But guess what? If you look at Joseph's life, he was following the protocol of to receive favor a long time ago
He showed tremendous mercy. Oh, yeah
He was extremely honest and in dealing with Potiphar's wife, even though she tried to lie on him and so on he wasn't treated
Right by his brothers, but he never hated them. He loved them
He showed them mercy all this stuff
so he may not have even known that he was participating in the protocol that was
Securing him favor in a place their favor was nowhere
possible for the Hebrew people which was the land of Egypt but because he followed a spiritual protocol where
He was aware of it or not. He found favor in the eyes of Pharaoh
The spirit of favor was released for him
So if you want the spirit of favor to work in your favor, then you must follow the rule. You cannot go around here
Being mean and nasty the people drinking people like didn't expect for the carpet the red carpet to be rule of four, you know
It's not gonna happen. All right, let's look at another Scripture
Let's look at proverbs chapter 8 and I love this problem chapter 8 and we're gonna read from verse 32 to verse
35
proverbs chapter 8 verse 32 to verse 35 and listen to what it says verse 32 of proverbs 8 says
now therefore hearken
Or listen unto me
Now I want you to read this entire chapter when we're done with this. This is teaching right because the Proverbs it speaks
extensively about the spirit of wisdom
When it says now hearken unto me, this is the spirit of wisdom hearken unto me o ye children
4 blessed are they that what keep my voice keep my laws keep my principles keep my Commandments
That's what is speaking of
verse 33 listen carefully
here
instructions and
be what wise and
Refuse them not verse 34 of proverbs 8 says blessed is is the man that here at me
This is wisdom now here at me watching daily at my gates
Waiting on the post of my doors I'm seeking looking for wisdom
I'm waiting for the next instruction from God. I want to open my Bible and read it today tomorrow
Whenever but I'm seeking that God will speak his wisdom to me
I'm waiting at the pulse or at the doors of wisdom for the next set of instructions as it relates to my destiny
now listen what it says as a result of verse 31
I'll read verse 34 again of proverbs 8 it says blessed is the man that here at me
Watching daily at my gates waiting at the posts of my doors verse 35 of Proverbs. They says for whosoever
Find it like so who for sorry for who so find it me
Which is this now wisdom find out what life
Who sort of finded me remember this whole chapter it is about wisdom
Whosoever find that me or who's ever find that wisdom find that life and what was gonna happen and shall obtain
favor of the Lord
So in both scriptures so far proverbs chapter 3 verses 1 to 4 and proverbs chapter 8 verses 30 to 35
it's showing a
protocol or a build-up to obtain favor to secure favor to
Ascertain that favor is going to be where I'm going to get that favor wherever that may be by following the protocols
now there's another scripture in proverbs chapter 18 verse 22 that is
automatically
Comes with favor and it says that he that finds a wife
Finds a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord
So that's so so favor comes as a package to a man who's married. So he have a right a spiritual, right?
This is a law
He has a spiritual right to demand. He can demand it father as a married man. I
pray for favor right now because it came as the package when he found his wife when he got married he
That finds a wife finds a good thing and watches now and obtains
To obtain means to get something to obtain favor
from the Lord
Okay. Now again with this there's gonna be this quick I
Came across this interesting scripture in proverbs 31 and verse 30 and
Listen how it describes?
Favor. Listen, this is in fact, let's turn there. Let's go to proverbs. This is so interesting
Let's go to proverbs proverbs
Chapter 30 and we're gonna read verse
Sorry, I promise up to 31
proverbs chapter 31 and we're gonna read verse 30 and
listen how it starts off it says favor is
deceitful
We read it that's what I read
Famous deceitful service. I was compelled
I mean
I I have a general idea with the word deceitful mean
But when I read it in the context in which we are talking about favor now
I was compelled to go and look up the word deceitful
And one of the words of the seed for meaning of it, sorry and I like this one
It says to be misleading which is very appropriate for this. Why
Because and I'm gonna give you a perfect example
let's say you're to a job interview, right and
You only have a high school
the sorry high school diploma and
the
Five other people applying for the same job
with
Bachelor's minimum and master's degree. Okay, but this job
requires no less than a
Bachelor's degree, which you have none of right?
however
The guy did interviewed all of y'all
But the spirit of favor seekers favor remember what the scripture says and proverbs 31 and 30 it says favor is
Deceitful or favor is misleading meaning that
Because I cannot see the Spirit of favor in his face
It would appear as if the one who has the best qualifications would get this job
But because favor house showed up now for me
it's deceitful in the sense that I am going to be picked when I shouldn't is I don't deserve this according to the
requirements that are acts of this job
I am picked and come to find out I'm the guy with only a high school diploma
All these people went to college and got their undergrad and all these other stuff so deceitful not in that
It's wicked or whatever the syphilis it's unexpected
And that's how favor is I go to a particularly?
It's unexpected that I go to buy a vehicle and the guy don't know me from Adam and he knocks
$5,000 off of the invoice. It's unexpected that I go to a particular
Place to do a transaction and they say to me. You know what today's your day?
You don't have to pay the full price. So deceitful in the sense in that I came here with the
Expectation to pay this or to get that but favor sure I would say no no, no, no, no
No, you're not gonna pay the full price today. And in fact, you're gonna get a free today
Deceitful in the sense that it comes from left field when everybody else
Eh, okay. I'm gonna get it because I've been to have it. I've been to yield
Yeah, you could have been all in places but favor. I've been to the College of favor and I listen to me
I don't know who you are. I don't know who you are
But I am Telling You I am here tonight to tell you that whatever you are worried about
you follow these simple instructions and
Ask God to cause favor. Why are you following the protocol? Of course to show up there? You need it to be tomorrow
The scripture that we've read couple of them it says and you shall find
favor
so wherever
I'm going or
Where I need that favor to be I must follow the protocol
With faith in the Word of God to expect I am tomorrow
Tomorrow you are on a hunt tomorrow
It's like you're searching for treasure and that treasure is going to be favored wherever you need that to be tomorrow
Is it in the doctor's office? You're waiting on a report? It is in a job
X promotion exercise or acquiring a job. Is it in a relationship? Is it some difficult stuff?
Is it some news you got a break to somebody and you know all hell can break loose and it was every time you need
Favors now to calm them down. Well now you need to exercise the laws as it relates to favor
exercise the laws and
Watch God come through for you. I'm done. I'm finished. I just came to drop that nugget
I'm gonna make a short prayer, but I'm not going to go any further
In fact, let me turn off my little Bible thing here. I'm done with that Heavenly Father. I thank you
thank you for this word of wisdom to
incline your people or get them to bend towards your laws not jumping up and down not swinging and carrying on like
empty vessels but actually letting your word absorb to assimilate into their
understanding and to now provoke them to make practical your principles your rules your loss your policies your
Spiritual insight for their spiritual growth I pray right now father God Lord that the worries the fears the anxieties
That accompany them prior to this teaching
that Lord your power will sever it from their lives and now give them a a
joy, and a pleasure to now go and
Exercise your rules and your principles to manifest a favor dad a desire
Your word declares in Acts chapter 7 that you gave Pharaoh
Sorry you gave Joseph
Favor in the sight of Pharaoh. So where evidence that they expect favor
Tomorrow this week this month next month
Wherever they expect favor father
I release the spirit of favor to that place as a result of the rules and who's ever watching me right now
Decide to follow in regards to the laws of God
That will command the attention of favor wherever they go. So let your peace and let your joy let your favor
dominate that situation tomorrow day after tomorrow or wherever and whenever
They need that favor in the matchless and mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. And amen. Kevin is over here
