THE SOLUTION AND THE ANSWER TO THE CHAOS PART 1
Date Teaching Given: July 25, 2023
The keys to victory in the midst of adversity are God’s blessing and favor.
What is God’s blessing?
What is God’s favor?
God equips you. You are a heavily armed soldier in the army of the Lord.
You are loved by the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He has handpicked you for this moment in time. You have a purpose, and He has an assignment for you. Ask God to show you your destiny.
He has given you special gifts and talents in order for you to fulfill that calling He has put on your life.
God knows the end from the beginning, so trust and lean on Him.
Prayer is a back-and-forth conversation with God. When you ask God to open your spiritual ears, it is a still small voice in your spirit.
God’s Word is the ultimate source of truth.
The Blessing of God
Genesis 1:26-28
God’s blessing is an empowerment for you.
The blessing began in the beginning. God doesn’t change. His plans don’t change. The blessing given to Adam and Eve is still relevant and working today.
Verse 26 – authority.
Verse 28 – dominion.
God gave them complete authority and dominion on this Earth. He gave them that blessing (empowerment).
I decree “The blessing is an empowerment on my life right now giving me the ability to prosper, to succeed, to increase, to multiply, to excel, and to rise above everything that attempts to hold me back and keep me down.”
Abraham is a great example of the blessing working in his life.
The power of God’s blessing and favor is your key solution and answer to rise above the chaos in the world today.
Genesis 12:2-3
God’s blessing and favor are always together.
God blesses your life so that you can be a vessel to distribute that blessing to others.
God’s blessing is empowerment for you to succeed, to excel, to increase, and to rise above everything that Satan uses to try to keep you back and hold you down.
“Thank you, Lord, that I have Your blessing and favor in my life and that you cause me to rise above everything my adversary is doing against me.”
Genesis 13:2
In the previous chapter, God blesses Abraham’s life, and in this chapter, you see the effect of the blessing. God causes Abraham to multiply, excel, and rise above.
Genesis 26:1-4, 12-13
Don’t follow the world. Things are not how they appear to be. Speak the Word of God. Speak life. Speak His Words. Receive what God is saying, not what the world is telling you.
Don’t live like the world. Don’t expect what the world expects.
Even in the midst of chaos, His blessing (empowerment) will sustain you.
It’s time to decide which you report you believe: the worldly report or God’s report.
God caused Isaac to increase during a famine. God separated Isaac from the rest of the world because Isaac obeyed (by sowing into the land).
The Favor of God
God’s favor goes before you.
I decree “God’s favor goes before me and opens doors that no man can shut. It changes rules, regulations, and policies on my behalf.”
God’s blessing and favor make you superior to your circumstances.
God’s favor can do what money can’t do. His favor can do what power can’t do. His favor can do what seniority and influence can’t do.
No matter what is in the world today, God’s blessing and favor cause you to rise above anything and anyone in any position because God has the ultimate say.
Exodus 3:19-22
God’s hand went before the Israelites.
God gave the Israelites favor and respect as they were leaving Egypt. The Israelites did not leave empty-handed. They left with much more than what they were entitled to. They got all their possessions back, and the possessions of the Egyptians.
God’s favor goes before you, and it restores what has been taken from you.
God’s favor changes situations and resolves them for your good. His favor is a solution to your problems.
Pray for, ask for, and expect God’s favor. Then praise and thank Him and stand in agreement with God’s Word.
God’s blessing and favor are empowerments to rise above your enemies. God’s blessing and favor are empowerments to rise above every situation, test, and trial. He has given you favor over your enemies.
Exodus 3:21
Again, because of God’s favor and blessing going before them, the Israelites didn’t leave empty-handed.
God’s favor and blessing can turn the worst of times into the best of times.
God’s favor and blessing can change any situation (no matter how bad or how large) in a day.
Psalm 3:8
God’s blessing is upon you.
Galatians 3:13-14
The blessing is upon you because you received Christ Jesus. You just need to know God’s empowerment is upon you because you have God’s blessing and favor. You just need to know God has given you the ability to rise above your enemy because His blessing and favor are upon you.
Psalm 41:11
One of the manifestations of God’s blessing and favor is that your enemy will not triumph over you. You need to receive it.
I thank you, God, that my enemy never triumphs over me, because I have the favor of God.
Empowerment raises you above your enemy. Favor protects you from your enemy.
God can bring light and increase even in the midst of great darkness.
John 17: 13-17
You are in this world, but you are not of it.
God is telling you to be separate from the world. Don’t live like the world. Don’t talk like the world. Don’t act like the world. Receive from the Lord. Receive what He has already given you.
Psalm 5:12
His favor surrounds you like a shield.
Ephesians 6:12-18
God stands between you and your enemy. The enemy is not allowed to touch you.
The only person that can take down the hedge of protection is you, with your mouth. Make sure you are speaking God’s Words.
Prayer
Revelation 3:7-8
1 John 4:4
Psalm 118:17
God is the God of increase.
God’s blessing and favor are the solutions to everything going on in the world today.
