Prophetically, the Church is entering into a fresh season of favor. Favor is one of God's supernatural weapons that accomplishes His purposes in every generation. In Scripture, favor is what happens when God shows you preference. He gives you advantages that others may not get. It is when His anointing is there to open doors that would otherwise not be opened. It is His presence that will nudge you into the blessing He has for you. It causes even the secular world to cooperate with God's plans and agendas. It is as if He lets you borrow His cologne, and everywhere you go you smell just like Him. Favor is a supernatural force that He places on your life to catapult you to fulfill the destiny He has for you, and that He has for His people. The Lord is breathing on this word, and we need to step into it and activate His favor over our lives, our children, our finances, our workplace, and our nation.

Activating Favor

First, it's through the Blood of Jesus. Psalm 5:12 says, "For You bless the righteous, O Lord; You cover him with favor as with a shield." Favor is one of the blessings that comes with righteousness. That means that every person who is covered by the Blood of Jesus can ask for and receive the favor of God on their lives.

It is not our righteousness that qualifies us for favor, it is His. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, "For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." As you exercise faith in Jesus Christ and the finished work of the Cross, you are righteous in Him. In the first Passover, every household marked by the blood was delivered from the powers of death. By exercising faith in Jesus, you are marked by the Blood of the Ultimate Lamb of God, the One about whom John the Baptist declared, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29). You are marked by His Blood, and therefore, you are marked for blessing. God's favor surrounds you, your family, your children, and everything you do.

Second, it will be tested. The life of Joseph is a classic example of how the favor of God works. On the one hand, Joseph experienced extreme favor, on the other he experienced tremendous attack. But every time the enemy pulled him down, the Lord poured out more favor on his life. From slavery, to imprisonment, to government, God lifted Joseph's head and prospered everything that he touched. Not only that, but those Joseph served experienced God's blessing because he was with them.

So when you have favor, it does not mean that you will not experience challenges in your life. You will, in fact, have battles. But it means that wherever you are, you will have the favor of God resting on you, blessing you, and turning your set-back into a set-up for His victory. It means that wherever you go, you carry the fragrance, the favor, the dunamis energy of God to bless.

Third, it's for the humble. The same favor that exalted Joseph to greatness is the same favor that allowed Joseph to be broken. I'm sure after being singled out by his brothers and falsely accused by Potiphar's wife, Joseph was probably thinking, "I could do without this favor!" But every attack transformed Joseph into the humble vessel in whom God could entrust greater and greater levels of favor and authority. God resists the proud, but time and time again in Scripture, He promises to exalt, favor, and give grace to the humble.

One of our church members who works as a school bus driver was falsely accused at his job. He came to The Watch and asked for prayer. Our team specifically asked the Lord to give him favor. The charges were soon found to be fabricated, and his accusers were fired. Shortly after this, he was driving a bus full of kids when one of the students pulled out a gun, walked up to him and tried to hijack the bus. It was a volatile situation that could have resulted in great tragedy. But this young man carried the favor of God on his life. He carried the anointing of the Holy Spirit to diffuse that situation, calm all the children on his bus, and extend the authority of Heaven over the plans for destruction of this troubled student. The favor of God propelled this young man from accusation to hero, and his story was headlined across the nation.

Fourth, it's for a purpose. Psalm 105:16-19 says, "When He summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, He had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; until what He had said came to pass, the Word of the Lord tested him."

God's favor was not just for Joseph personally. God's favor had a mission that went back to His original promise to Abraham: "And I will make of you a great nation...and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:2-3). Joseph's entire journey was a testimony of God's favor preparing a vessel that would be in the right place, at the right time, in the right position, with the right training, humility and authority to save His people. He favored Joseph as His instrument to preserve the seed of Abraham and to fulfill His promise to future generations in a time that drought and famine threatened to wipe out the entire region.

We are in a fresh season of favor. This is a prophetic picture in a prophetic season for God's Church. We are living in a measure of a modern-day famine today as our international markets shake and tremble. Nations are on the brink of bankruptcy and economic collapse. But God, in His mercy, is raising up His Josephs that will bring His favor not only on His people, but will bless the nations, cities, businesses in which they serve. There may be famine in your workplace. There may be famine in your health. There may be barrenness in your family. There may be drought in our culture, education and government. But God wants to give you favor and make you an instrument of blessing.

The Heavens are pregnant with God's dreams of divine strategies and instruction to prosper us in a time of famine. His anointing is here for those who will humbly carry His favor, grace, and power without taking glory for themselves. The Lord wants His favor to shine on His Bride in these days, so that the nations will come to her light. The Lord wants to activate His favor in you!
