People seem to limit GOD’S FAVOR to houses, land, or material, external, and temporary things. We serve a BIG God and he is NOT limited by temporal things. His BLESSINGS, GIFTS, and FAVOR is all encompassing and I wanted to know, for myself, what GOD’S FAVOR really was from HIS perspective. I have only just begun to learn about GOD’S FAVOR and it BEGINS with eternal things and NOT temporal at all! I have also learned if you don’t BEGIN your research from a eternal and spiritual perspective you will MISS the WHOLE foundation of GOD’S FAVOR. His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts. If you want to experience a GREATER portion of GOD’s FAVOR you need to know what it TRULY is, FIRST!

His SOVEREIGN FAVOR is GRANTED to the unearned, undeserving, and the unworthy recipients who willfully CHOOSE to receive his endless kindnesses. “…Since it is through God’s kindness …[and] not by [your] good works. For in that case, God’s GRACE (FAVOR) would not be what it really is—free and undeserved…” (Romans 11:5 NLT)
God’s FAVOR is granted, because of his desire to freely bestow GOOD WILL and KINDNESS upon all mankind, in general, and upon “his people” in particular. “…He did this, not because we DESERVED it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time…” (2 Timothy 1:9 NLT).
God’s FAVOR is NOT simply to be a SANTA CLAUS or GENIE to mankind’s every beck and call or personal desires. God WANTS “...to show us his GRACE (FAVOR) through Christ Jesus
God’s FAVOR is meant to bring enjoyment to mankind, in general, and “his people” in particular. “…He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous…” (Matthew 5:45 NASB). However, “…You (God, the Holy Spirit, particularly) surround [your people] WITH FAVOR as with a shield…” (Psalms 5:12 NASB).
