Regardless of how many people tell you that what you're attempting can't be done, if you'll persevere, declaring the favor of God and staying in an attitude of faith, God will open doors for you and change circumstances on your behalf.
God wants to make your life easier. He wants to assist you, to promote you, to give you advantages. He wants you to have preferential treatment. But if we're going to experience more of God's favor, we must expect God's special help and release our faith, knowing that God wants to assist us.
In no way should we ever be arrogant, thinking that we are better than somebody else, that everybody owes us a living or ought to bow down to us. But as God's children we can live with confidence and boldness, expecting good things. We can expect preferential treatment, not because of who we are, but because of whose we are. We can expect people to want to help us because of who our Father is.
As odd as it may sound, when you live favor-minded, declaring God's goodness, you'll be amazed at how people will go out of their way to help you. They may not even know why they're doing it, but you'll know that it is because of the favor of God.
Anytime you get in a situation where you need favor, learn to declare it. You don't have to loudly broadcast it to the world. You can whisper it, if you prefer. The volume of your voice is irrelevant; it's your faith that makes the difference. Even in the mundane aspects of life, you will not be imposing on God's goodness by declaring His favor. He wants you to act on it.
No matter what does or doesn't happen, keep believing for the favor of God in your life. Live favor-minded. Get up each day and expect it and declare it. Don't sit back passively. You do your part, and God will do His part. And you'll have everything you need.
God wants to help you in every area of your life, not just the big matters. When you live favor-minded, you'll begin to see God's goodness in the everyday, ordinary details. When you are living favor-minded, you won't be able to outrun the good things of God. EVerywhere you go, things are going to change in your favor. Every time you turn around, somebody's going to want to do something good for you, to assist you in some manner. They may not even know why. But it's the favor of God that causes you to stand out in the crowd.
The favor of God can cause people to go out of their way to want to help you. The favor of God can cause people to make exceptions for you. The favor of God can bring you out of your difficulties and turn your adversities around for good.
If you can learn to stay in an attitude of faith, and in your darkest hour boldly declare the favor of God, then nothing is going to be able to keep you down. You may be in a situation today that looks impossible, but don't rule out the favor of God. One touch of God's favor can turn everything around in your life.
Keep on believing, expecting, declaring. Keep living favor-minded, and God promises that good things will come to you. If you will keep your hope in the Lord, God says divine favor is coming. You may not be able to see it right now. Things may not look good in the natural, but the good news is that if you keep expecting it and declaring it, God's favor will show up. And when God's favor shows up, things are going to change. The favor of God will cause you to rise up out of your problems.
