GOD’S FAVOR 12-29-23 VIDEO UNDESERVED FAVOR 2
God‘s favor is His personal act of kindness towards us. It is not because of what we have done. It is God‘s willingness to cause us to walk in our identity. Supernatural favor came to Ruth into Esther. They were favored so that their destiny would be completed.
Moses talk to God because he was favored and he like us had a destiny. In spite of the world circumstances that came against them, they all achieve their destiny and were marked by God‘s favor. Grace is Gods unlimited favor. Jesus is what God’s favor looks like.
