UFO Sighting


Recently there have been reports of UFO sightings in the Body of Christ, and because of that it makes this teaching one of the most important in this series. What are these unfamiliar occurrences? 
Experiences of Unidentified Favor Outpourings that have slipped by believers.
Unless we understand the differences between mercy, grace, blessings and favor we are not going to receive all that God has set apart for His children.

To help comprehend this better I’d like to share with you some situations, and then have you discern what they are. With more people logging on it’s important that I maintain the purpose of this blog, and that is living in the favor of God on a daily basis.

Welcome new friends this week from:

Please Redefine for Us
Making it brief, this is how we recognize the differences between mercy, grace, blessings and favor.


Mercy – is not getting the punishment we deserve.

Grace – is receiving a gift we haven’t earned or deserve.

Blessings – are gifts based on faith, obedience and generosity.

Favor – is a specific gift to an individual to fulfill the plan of God.
 

Unidentified Favor Outpouring                                                      

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get all the breaks and have it all? There is a reason. God often blesses others and causes them to show favor, because He needs them to be in position for favoring us. 

Not everyone realizes this, but the Bible does give examples, one through Jacob’s father-in-law.

Laban recognized who was buttering his bread and he didn’t want the gravy train to leave.

“And Laban said to him (Jacob), “Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.” (Genesis 30:27 (NKJV)

Even though Laban knew of God, he wasn’t following the LORD with all his practices.  Frankly neither was Jacob at first, but God had a plan far beyond what either of the men could see. Jacob needed the favor of God on his life so that the line of Jesus would come into this world four thousand years later. 

Jacob didn’t ask for the favor and didn’t deserve it.  God saw a man who was willing to trust everything to the LORD and pursue righteousness.  That’s why he was a candidate for continuing favor.

Do you recognize the difference between blessings and favor?  Blessings and random favor is not always seen by others, but continuing favor is always visible.  With that in mind can you tell me which of these scenarios are blessings or favor?


Tell me if it’s Blessing or Favor?

- You have a job.

- Someone buys lunch for you.

- What is an open parking lot space near the front door of a store?

- Is rain a blessing or favor?

- An employee washes the boss’s car.

- A basket of fruits and vegetables left on your front porch.

- Your boss gives you five pounds of meat cleanly wrapped and marked for the freezer.

- A stranger gave instruction to store employees to “Give that woman my discount.”

- You receive over 20 pounds of potatoes.

- You are a believer in Christ Jesus.

Blessings can come on all who will follow the laws and principles of God. That means even the unsaved can be blessed it they do what the law states, because it is universal.

Favor on the other hand is not universal or given based on the law or principles of God. They may include them, but favor is a specific gift on a certain individual for a purpose.

Do You See It?

We are favored all the time and don’t realize it.  If you are employed, only you have that job.  Do you have a business, ministry, talent, program, family, home, pets …

God gave them to you, not your neighbor or anyone else – you alone are blessed with these things or people.

Think about what God has done for you and no one else in your family or life.  There is an unidentified favor outpouring that is being missed or going unrecognized. 

Until we start seeing these blessings and favor outpourings we won’t receive the overflow of them. How can you receive or benefit from what you don’t know exists?

God’s gives grace to those who understand that all gifts come from Him and that they are not deserved or earned in any way.  Not everyone receives favor, you know it’s true.

They Bible specifically points out those who were blessed, favored or both.  It was no secret that Job was blessed before and after the tragic accident.  Abram, Daniel, David, Mary and Jesus were blessed followers of the Lord and God made sure to let us know they were favored by Him.

Each one of these individuals shared similar blessings, but all were favored by God differently.  No one receives exactly the same favor; it is a gift from God to and through a certain person. Continual favor is lasting, visible for all to see and is life changing.

We truly don’t understand the depth of favor, because it looks different to each person.  All people of faith in Jesus Christ will be blessed to some degree, but not all will find favor with and from God.  The scripture points us to this truth.



It’s Greek to Me

There has to be something that goes beyond our thinking that describes grace and the favor of God.

In the New Testament of the Bible, the Greek word for grace is charis.  We get the word charismatic from it, meaning a person is spiritually religious or extremely gifted.

Charis is a gift, the undeserved favor of God, so grace is God's gift to us who are undeserving.  God's gift to us is Jesus; in a way Jesus is charis (undeserved gift from God to the sinner). 

Until Jesus came to save us, people didn't understand grace.  It came through Jesus, (John 1:1-18 NKJV) and we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV).

What is grace? Jesus.  We don't deserve this gift from God, but His love did that for us. Through grace (which is Jesus) we receive blessings and favor.

It's giving us what we haven't earned or deserved.  First Peter 5:10 says He is the “God of all grace (favor)”.  He is the one who gives it. Until we understand that concept we cannot appreciate what favor really is.

In the Bible there are passages where you will see grace (favor) and mercy in the same verse. Some think that they are the same thing, but they are not

Mercy is God withholding what we really deserve because of sin. 

Grace is God giving what you don't deserve. It's giving you something no one else can.

Blessings are gifts from God for all mankind.

Favor is an exclusive gift from God to an individual that completes His plan.

This happened in the beginning days of mankind. Mercy stopped Abraham from using the knife on Isaac. Grace sent the lamb (Jesus) in its place. Blessings followed him wherever he went and favor allowed God’s plan for a nation to be born through Abraham.

Sure, but what about today … my century!

What about today? A woman’s husband was rushed to the hospital and pronounced brain dead on arrival.  Hooked up to every gadget you can imagine the woman believed God for a miracle.

She called her pastors to come to the hospital then sowed her husband’s entire paycheck to the church for an offering.  The family had no money in reserve, none of the bills were paid and there were three young kids at home waiting for their daddy.

There was a dry erase board on the wall directly across from his bed facing the patient so they could see what was written on it.

Targeting the message to the patient, the pastor’s wife wrote scripture on the dry erase board in his room from Isaiah 53:3-4 and 1 Peter 2:24.

“By His stripes you are healed.”  Thus proclaiming life into the man.

She was given instruction by her pastors what to do to stay in faith and how to act in the hospital room. Each day she would sing praises to the Lord and read the Bible to her husband. 

The nursing staff erased the message to put patient information on the board, but mysteriously it re-appeared every day. When asked if anyone had entered the room they said no, but it was so peaceful as if angels were surrounding his room. The smell was even different.

“Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation (prayers). Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD: In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them even shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; with FAVOR You will SURROUND him as with a SHIELD.” (Psalm 5:1,11-12 NKJV)

While her husband was lying in Intensive Care, dead to the world, she kept her promise to clean the church the next day. Nearly a week later the man awoke with no brain damage.

She received a bill that was 1.1 million dollars.  Her church and family prayed, and two days later another notice was dispatched stating the entire bill was canceled and covered!

Mercy healed the wounds; grace, favor and blessings covered the cost of the bill.

And the Answer Is …

So how did you do?  Would you change any of your answers based on what you’ve learned?

Remember blessings can be for many, favor is for you and visible.

Answers: (Based on actual true stories.)

- You have a job. (Blessing and favored because someone else is out of one and it’s not you.) I once told a principal when applying for a job that he couldn’t give my position to someone else if God had it set aside for me.  I got the job!

- Someone buys lunch for you. (Blessing and favor because they only did it for you.)

- An open parking lot space near the front door of a store. (Favor to all who get it, not only you. There is a reason you got that spot.) Last week I explained how God needed us to have that parking spot so I would be in position for the man in the front of the store.  I needed favor to do His work.  We all do.  Without that spot I would have missed the gentleman.  Favor is not coincidence.

- Is rain a blessing or favor? (Blessing, because it rains even on the unjust.  However, it’s favor when it rains only on your side of the street.) That has happened to us many times!

- An employee washes the boss’s car. (Favor because they only did it for the boss. However, it turned out not to be a blessing or favor because they took the car without notifying the boss and he missed his morning appointments.) He was actually quite upset by it.

- A basket of fruits and vegetables left on your front porch. (Both blessing and favor because you did nothing to deserve it or earn it.)

- Your boss gives you over five pounds of meat cleanly wrapped and marked for the freezer. (Blessing, but not favor because he gave all his employees the same thing.)

Yeah, that was a trick question.

- A stranger gave instruction to store employees to “Give that woman my discount.” (Blessing and favor because the discount was given to a specific person by a stranger.  Read about it here.)

- You receive over 20 pounds of potatoes. This one may confuse you so I’ll give you the short version of the story.

A man was told he could have all the potatoes left from a ladies garden. Blessing and favor right? Wrong and here is the reason why.

The woman was about to plow under her potatoes because she didn’t think they would keep over the winter.  She told the man if he wanted them he would have to dig them up; otherwise she was just going to put them in the compost.  Either way she didn’t want them. 

After work the gentleman stopped by the ladies home and dug out all he could find and placed them in two large buckets.

He took them home to his wife and plopped the buckets under the kitchen table.  She in turn had to take off work to sort out the potatoes, wash and dry them because of the bugs that came in with the lot.

What appeared to be a blessing and favor wasn’t. Yes they were blessed with potatoes and she could have called someone else, but the man had to work for it so it was a reward for his labor. Their household income was challenged when his wife had to stop work to take care of potatoes that were set for the compost bin.

Do you understand more about true favor?  It is an undeserved gift that you cannot work for or earn, but others know when you have been favored because the results are visible.

Here’s the last one: You are a believer in Christ Jesus. (You have hit the jackpot of favor, blessings, grace and mercy.) We have done nothing to deserve or earn it, but to God’s children all these things are freely given because of the Righteousness in Christ Jesus.

This Week’s Challenge:

Give Favor to a Stranger

Today (August 8th) is “Sneak some zucchini onto your neighbor’s porch day.” Although the world may see it as a joke, we can turn it into blessings and favor.

True blessing, favor, grace or mercy costs
and requires something of the giver.

This week we’re going to give away vegetables to a stranger. Why does it have to be a stranger or someone you barely know? It is easy to favor those we love, but difficult to pour out bounty on someone you don’t know or think deserves it.  God wants us to understand what He does for us all the time so that there will be no more unidentified favor outpourings.  We will notice and give thanks for each one!

Pray over the food and ask the Lord who this person He wants you to favor will be, then follow through with it right away.  Withholding a blessing from others, withholds it from you.

The vegetables don’t have to be from your garden, but do have to be fresh. If it comes from your harvest it will cost you something because you are sharing what is in your storehouse.  If you purchase the veggies, it is still costing you something from your weekly allotted budget. 

The main thing is that it has to cost you something in order for it to be a true sacrifice God honors.  When we are willing to let God use us for His plan, His favor has to follow. We are not making a deal with God so that we are favored, it is our will lined up with God’s Word that fits His plan.

It doesn’t matter if the person understands how you favored them; you will experience what it’s like to bestow favor on an underserving soul and therefore become more aware when it falls on your life. God will always favor His plan, and we get to be a part of it.

This is what Favor looks like to the world.  Watch and see how God worked what the world might say is a miracle, we simply call it His grace and favor poured out on His children. (Click on blue link below.)



Maybe you have been blessed, but have you been favored? God wants to give you both. I challenge you to allow His favor into your life.

Blessing and Honor

 

Until next time, identify the favor in your life.

Life in God’s Garden: Part 1

The sun had long set and our safe haven garden was now inhabited with five rambunctious puppies. 

Plans for a quiet holiday weekend didn’t really enter into their little minds when they escaped from their yard a few hundred feet from ours.  Honestly, I suppose it fled from ours as well.

With the litter enclosed in the backyard hubby and I finished getting the groceries out of our vehicle.  Unfortunately puppy chow wasn’t on the list and an alternative menu was selected for our impromptu dining guests.  From the sound of it they didn’t mind a bit. 

It didn’t take long for the puppies to settle into their new surroundings.  They quickly adapted to their life in the garden and anticipated what would come next via the humans.

Read the beginning of this puppy caper in the Garden Party.

Inside the Garden Gate 

Placing the seven week old puppies inside the garden was different than any other place they have ever been.  Everything looks humongous when you’re only ten inches tall with limited jumping skills.  Investigating every corner of the enclosure was the next thing on their “turn over the water” bucket list. 

Upon entry into a new uncharted territory there was so much for the puppies to investigate.  “What’s that … where does that go … never saw anything like that … can I eat it?”  These were very important questions that ran through their inquisitive heads as rapidly as their feet traveled across the square foot allotment. 

There was a pool of vegetables surrounded by flowers (literally – they’re growing in a child’s swimming pool we purchased for that purpose, but that sounded pretty poetic don’t  you think?).   

More fences covered with fragrant flowers from trailing vines that ran along the outskirts of the garden. There was a covered saw horse bridge to shuttle under that held delicate masterpieces of award winning arrangements from the summer’s county fair. 

At the far end of the enclosed space were two piles of stinky mushy stuff called “organic” compost, which were all part of the discovery channels they dug through or overturned in a matter of hours.  All of which were ruff going in the beginning of their short lived adventure. (I know that was a stretch.) 

Our special garden wasn’t designed to house pets, let alone run-away a few week old canines.  As quickly as we could hubby and I moved items out of their reach or removed them completely from the enclosed area.   

We weren’t as fast as they were, but hurried to collect pots one by one as the pups knocked over everything in their path.  It wasn’t until the next day we noticed all that they had gotten into during their visit inside the garden gate. 

Why Did God Move Adam? 

Did you give that question any thought from our last think challenge?  Later that night my mind wondered as I thought about the beginning moments after man was “put” into God’s special garden.  Everywhere Adam looked was full of excitement, wonder and beauty.   

Last week our think challenge had us consider why God decided to take Adam to another place other than where he was created.  I’d like to share with you reasons why the Creator would do such a thing. 

The First Blessings 

In Genesis 1:20-31 we learn that after God created living creatures He declared that His work was good and then blessed them.  What did the blessing include?  

The Bible gives us the order in which all events took place leading up to the creation of living things that have breath, both animal and humans.  Every provision for the future economy was already in place for success through the first blessings.  

Regardless of what some may believe the human race is an offspring of the first pair resulting in one species bearing many colors.  The original blessings were intended for all mankind.

“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.” (Acts 17:26 NKJV)  

“ For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9 NKJV) 

 “O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions.” (Psalm 104:24 NKJV) 

Life in God’s Garden 

Take a walk with me as we enter into the garden gate where God put the first human being.
 
When Adam met God he must have had all sorts of emotions bursting through him.  Having just come to life as a fully grown human what does one do next?  The Master had everything covered and Adam was about to get his first lessons in living as an image bearer. 

I have tried to picture what the first day of Adam was like with him being shown around by God.  Everywhere he looked things were spectacular, with questions flowing one after another.  It's probably the only time man didn't keep quiet when someone talked to him about something serious.  No one will ever have an opportunity like this … how favored was he? 

Not long after Adam was on the earth Jehovah Jireh (the God who provides) took his firstborn to a special place reserved for fellowship between He and the race called “man.”   

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.” (Genesis 2:7-8 NKJV) 

The word “put” in scripture literally means to cast in, commit, place or be set.  Whether or not Adam was awake yet we don’t know, but we do know God “put” him there to establish relationships and work ethics. 

Ten Blessings of Eden 

Part of the Divine favor plan of God was that His children would live in a state of blessing, or grace, favor from the time of birth throughout eternity.  His creation was designed to make that happen, causing mankind to live in the abundance first received from the Garden Blessings. 

Scripture says in John 1:16 in the New Living Translation, 

“From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another; or the receiving of grace (favor) of ( and through) Christ rather than the grace of the law which would follow due to the fall of man.” 

The Greek transcribed it as believer’s in the resurrected Christ receiving grace upon grace and referred to as “favor upon endless favor” from God. 

We take notice of what Adam received upon entrance to God’s garden that appealed to every sense God created in mankind. As Adam begins life, his senses also come alive as his vision, taste, touch, smell and hearing abilities quicken to his flawless surroundings. 
 
Although there were many, many more blessings established by God for mankind in the Garden of Eden, I'd like to share ten with you that I believe are critical in understanding how favored we are by the Lord.

This week let’s look at the first five blessings of Eden. 

First Blessing – The Garden of Eden was a place of safety that was set apart from the rest of the world where God walked with man/woman. It was where man could live, abide or dwell in the shadow of the Almighty God to form a relationship with his Creator. 

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  This I declare about the Lord:: 
He along is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God,
and I trust Him."   (Psalm 91:1-2 NLT)

Second Blessing – Both mankind and all living were blessed with food that would multiply on its own because of the seed God provided.  Man didn’t have to worry about feeding his family or the animals, God had it covered. 

“And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.´(Genesis 1:29-30 NKJV) 

Third Blessing – Not only did God make sure the food supply was unending seed and harvest, everlasting life was also part of the original plan for man (and animal). In the middle of the vegetation God provided food for eternal life … literally.  The curse of death was not part of the garden blessing. 

“And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden.” (Genesis 2:9a NKJV) 

Fourth Blessing – Alongside the tree of life was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From the beginning Adam knew he had a free will to choose.  Having the ability to choose was meant to be a blessing, not a curse. 

“…and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2:9b NKJV) 

Fifth Blessing – The land was perfectly beautiful with every color of the rainbow in hues only the first humans have seen.  Lush flowering gardens with cascading vines, bushes and trees in full bloom were in full Panavision being continually watered by God.  Man would never have to pull out those fifty foot hoses that kink while you try to use them, because the earth was self-watered. 

“… a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.” (Genesis 2:6b NKJV) 

When Adam would “till” or work the ground it would turn over easily without any weeds, undergrowth, thorns or harmful critters chomping away at his limbs as he went about keeping his assignment of taking dominion over the tame earth.  Man would live and take care of the ground which was originally blessed from the day of its creation.
 
Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth’; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:11-12 NKJV) 

From the time of man’s existence there was beauty from glorious sunrise until bronze sunsets shimmering across the crystal clear rivers. Every breath he breathed was cause to sing praises to Almighty God.  Fernando Ortega has captured it well in his song about creation.

This is creation … life in God’s garden … 

He wraps Himself in Light as with a garment.
He spreads out the heavens
and walks on the wings of the wind.
 
He sends forth the springs from the valleys,
they flow between mountains. 

The birds of the air dwell by the waters,
lifting their voices in song …singing glory! 

He made the moon for its seasons.
The sun knows it’s setting.
He looks at the earth and it trembles,
He touches the mountains and they smoke. 

Did Adam rejoice and declare what David the King used to sing? 

“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praises to my God.
As long as I live, praises to the LORD, oh my soul …
Singing glory, honor and praises forever, and ever. Amen.” 

Think on This Challenge:
Walking in Created Favor

Have you ever wondered what it was like for Adam to walk in the Garden of Eden with God?  Before woman was made, he spent time with God alone … it was just the two of them. 

Did God go over the things that only men discuss amongst themselves?  What little tidbits of advice did Jehovah share with his first son that no one else was privy to or ever heard?  We know there was a discussion over food choices … why doesn’t that surprise me? 

When you have some alone time, use it for this week’s think challenge imagining what it would be like if it was you instead of Adam walking with God in His garden.  Would you recognize it as a place of favor and blessings? 

While watching the pups I thought about how those sweet little creations of God were “put” into the garden. There they found everything they needed. They received blessings in the Garden of Favor just like the first beings on this planet.  You have to admit, life in the garden was pretty good. 

Next week we’ll pick up on the other five garden blessings.
