What is Favor?

Hello Friends,

I have noticed a lot of people that say they are blessed and
highly favor. Some of whom may not be able to give a clear answer to what favor
is. However what some may call favor may actually not be favor. In order to
know if you have favor or not, you first have to understand what it is. Favor
as defined in dictionary.com:

Favor -

1.	something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act

..

2.	friendly or well-disposed regard; goodwill

.

3.	the state of being approved or held in regard

4.	excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment:

So from the definition we can see that favor is not fair.
Also we can see that it is not something you rightfully own but it is granted.
Now lets get an understanding of the meaning by looking at some examples. This
reminds me of the children of ....Israel....,
because of the faithfulness and obedience of one man, Abraham, a nation of
people were blessed and highly favored.
From this example we can see that favor is transferable. This is also
depicted other occasions in the bible: David to Solomon, Noah and his children,
Elijah and Elisha. Therefore we as Christians should be careful in how we live
because we can either transfer favor or curse to our offspring or to the people
around us. Yes curses are transferable too. Look at the children of Israel in
Joshua: 7, due to the disobedience of one man, Achan, the children of Israel
was defeated by the people of Ai, an enemy they were supposed to defeat easily.
Another example is David and Bathsheba (II Samuel 11); because of the evil that
David did in acquiring her, the first child suffered the consequence, death.
Not to mention the inheritance we received from Adam.

Now that we have some type of understanding of what favor is
lets look at some situations/scenarios and see if it is favor or not

I am blessed and highly favored, I got a new car with no
money down and I did not even have the income needed in order to get it on my
own. It was nothing but the favor of God

I was praying that God would bless me with the money
necessary to get the rent paid. Then the Lord placed it on a person heart to
give the money and more. It was nothing but the favor of God

I was doing 85 in a 55 and I pass a police car. Then say the
lights flashing and I had slowed down and the police car passed me. It was
nothing but the favor of God.

Now from what you read before these scenarios would all of
them be considered favor of God moments? A quick hint, it also will have to
agree with the word of God and some of the scenarios are vague. If you want the
answer we can discuss it further.

To recap favor is transferable preferential treatment that
is granted to a person, place, or thing.
I hope this help in understanding what is favor and as stated before I
leave the scenarios to you to figure out and if you would like to more insight,
you can always contact me or just look through the word.

May the spirit of the Lord bless and prosper you as your
soul prosper,

Greg
