Living in God’s Favor Daily - Dr. Jerry Savelle

The Nature and Manifestation of God's Favor
📌 The speaker has been teaching on walking in God's favor for 45 years, a concept first revealed to him in 1969.
👑 Favor is linked to having right standing with God through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord, not something earned by being "good enough."
🔮 Living in a "state of favor" means it is a consistent, day-in, day-out experience, not just an occasional occurrence, contrasting states like fear or depression.
📖 The concept is rooted in scripture, notably Romans 1 and Romans 5, where grace is defined as a "state of God's favor."

Characteristics of Living in Favor
🛡️ Favor is on you, surrounds you like a shield (Psalm 5:12), and follows you all the days of your life (Psalm 23:6).
🚪 It shows up everywhere, whether you are "coming in or going out" (Deuteronomy 28:6).
🎁 Favor grants promotion, advantage, and preferential treatment, exemplified by the speaker receiving assistance from flight captains and expedited service from manufacturers.
✨ Those walking in favor develop an attitude where God is "famous for great and unexpected acts," leading to anticipation of daily surprises.

Personal Testimony and Application of Favor
🚗 The speaker's conversion followed hearing Kenneth Copeland in 1969, leading to a focused three-month study where he was taught about God's favor.
🤝 Having right standing with others (like Kenneth Copeland) results in mutual favor, enabling requests for assistance (e.g., borrowing an airplane) without shame.
🏠 The speaker realized a 30-year dream of building a classic car shop and 50s diner, which was subsequently blessed when a manufacturer, recognizing his ministry through a chance encounter, gave him a custom pool table immediately.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The Gospel's mandate is to announce the goodness of God, as this goodness—of which favor is a characteristic—leads people to repentance, contrasting with past negative preaching that pushed the speaker away.
➡️ Believers have right standing, peace, access, and favor with God; grasping these four elements makes one a "total winner" whose failure and defeat become history.
➡️ Expect the unexpected: Do not limit God to repeating past manifestations of favor; the way favor arrives is often the most surprising element.
