Favor vs. Entitlement

Beloved Ones, you are My favored ones for I have given you life and favor, and My care has preserved your spirit. My favor is rooted in grace and is for a lifetime. My favor is as a shield around you. It is because of My favor that I fight for you with My strong arm to save you and it is because of My favor in the light of My countenance that you can know My pleasure. I favor your righteous cause; I take pleasure in the prosperity of My servants. My favor is a gift of grace. It comes out of the generous abundance of My heart. You must learn to eat from this abundant fruit that is rooted in the Tree of Life by the Holy Spirit. Favor is yours because you are sons and daughters of the Living God. Favor is the bread of the children of God. Favor belongs to My church and is exercised by resting in Me and My goodness. It is life giving and yours to receive simply by birthright.
Entitlement has no place in My church. Entitlement is self-seeking. It strives for what one thinks is due him. Entitlement is rooted in the Tree of Knowledge and partaking of its fruit leads to death. Entitlement is a work of the law and is exercised through the self-striving flesh. Cease striving and know that I AM God.
Increased discernment is crucial in these days. Ask Me for it and I will freely give it to you. The line between truth and error is increasingly becoming blurred, but My people are to KNOW Me and walk in My ways. KNOW My favor. KNOW My goodness. KNOW Me. Those who KNOW their God will be strong, and do great exploits.
Receive My favor by grace. Rest in it, and KNOW that My goodness is working on your behalf in all things.


Job 10:12; Psalm 5:12, 30:5, 35:27, 44:3; Daniel 11:32
