The Time of God’s Favor

It’s time for you to get back everything that the Devil has taken from you. It’s time for you to get out of your prison and move forward towards your destiny.




Favor?

In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
– 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV)
For He says, In the time of favor (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God]; behold, now is the day of salvation!
– 2 Corinthians 6:2 (Amplified)

What does favor do?
Favor is the divine current that takes you from your present season into your future dreams. It is the current of God that finds you at a given point and carries you from where you are to where God wants you to be.

Things to Remember:

  • Favor will never be found in the life of an indifferent person.
  • Favor is necessary for uncommon success, (it’s a divine current that takes you from your present season to your divine future dream.)
  • After you are obedient, faithful, not rebellious and indifferent, God will walk into your house and FAVOR will touch your life.
  • It’s time for you to get back everything that the Devil has taken from you.
