Prophet Julie Green - The Solution and the Answer to the Chaos in the World Today - 1 - Notes & CC

Good morning, everybody! Today is Tuesday, July 25th of 2023, and of course, this is just another day that the Lord has made, in which we will rejoice and be glad in it. So, this morning, as I got up, I had no idea exactly what God wanted me to do today. Then, He started having me dive into the solutions for the problems that are going on in the world today, and the solution that God has for us. These are keys to win in the midst of adversity. This is just going to be a little foundation for this massive teaching. This is not just going to be a one-teaching video; this is going to be multiple, and whenever He has me teach upon this again, I will go back to it.

I have known and studied this for a very long time, and now it's time for me to start teaching it to each and every one of you. I have learned it from a dear, dear person whom I just know because I followed him for a very long time and followed many of his teachings. He got me out of a lot of darkness he doesn't even know about. So, this teaching is really about God's blessing and God's favor. I'm going to teach you what the blessing is and what the favor is. Then, we'll start building a foundation on what these two things are and how you can expect to see them manifest in your life. It can be the solution to all the chaos in the world today and the problems you are facing in your life today. Yes, this is scriptural, and I will give you the scriptures and the foundation with this teaching. Make sure you write these down and get this revelation, because this is something you're gonna have to have and need in the world today.

As you see the chaos grow and the darkness get even worse at times, God is saying that this is the solution to the chaos and the problems in your life. God is equipping us; we are heavily armed soldiers in the army of the Lord. He's not going to send us out to battle without giving us the weapons we need in order to have victory. So, God is a good God. If you've ever been in the military, you know that they supply everything you need while you are stationed overseas. Similarly, God, the leader of the army of the Lord, is supplying these things for us.

But if we don't know what He has supplied and how to use them, we won't be able to take advantage of them when facing darkness and chaos. God is giving us the keys and tools to rise above all these things going on in the world today. Remember, you are loved by the Creator of Heaven and Earth. You were hand-picked by the Creator of Heaven and Earth to be in this moment, in this very day and hour. God has specifically hand-picked each and every one of you; you have a purpose, and God has an assignment for you. All you have to do is ask God what it is.

Your adversary will try to fight you to prevent you from completing your assignment, but God will give you everything you need to rise above everything your adversary tries. God knows the end from the beginning, and even if we can't see the end, God does. So, we need to start trusting and leaning on God more and more every day, getting to know Him through His Word.

That's His will, and also through your fellowship with Him or praying with Him. Remember, prayer is not just, "I'm going to get in my closet, speak a bunch of words, complain to God about everything that's going wrong, and then walk out." Prayer is back and forth. You say, "Julie, I don't know how to hear God." You say, "I thank You, Father God, that my spiritual ears are open to hear You because Your sheep know Your voice, and I will not follow another one." So, it's very, very important to be very careful when you ask God to open your spiritual ears to hear Him. It is a still small voice, and people have asked me many times how to hear prophetic words. I don't hear an audible voice; I hear it from in here. I've taught myself a long time ago by listening to other ministers to journal in my prayer closet. Not only do I pray, I praise and worship God, I write down scriptures, I give those scriptures back to Him, and I just thank Him for them. Then, I sit and I listen quietly. We all can do that because He wants to have fellowship with all each and every one of us. He wants all of us to know Him in that way.

So, in times like this when you can't trust man and you can't trust anything that's going on before you because there's so much disinformation and confusion going out, people don't know what's true and what's a lie, what is the ultimate source of truth? It is the Word of God. Okay, so I want to teach you today about God's blessing and God's favor. Again, this is just going to be a small part of it because it's a very large teaching. It's not something you can just teach in one video and be like, "Okay, I got it all." It's a small part, just giving you a foundation of learning what these two things are and how to use them and what the purpose of them is and how and why God has given them to you.

But if you want to know where we are going to be at as a JGM team, you can check our website at jgminternational.org under our events page, okay? We have more we're going to put up on there, but those are the two that we just have for now, and then we'll put more here in the coming days. I just want to let you guys know about the events, where you can see me. So, you can go to our website under our events page.

Now, that's all of the announcements. I don't like to make a lot of announcements, but I do need to tell people where you can find certain things. Alright, now I'm going to start with the blessing of God. Okay, I want you guys to start in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26. This is the first place where you see God mentioning the blessing. Now, people don't think about the blessing, and really, it has been just kind of toned down in the body of Christ because it's like when somebody sneezes, it's "Oh, God bless you." Or when you say, "Okay, let's say the blessing before we eat." That is not what the blessing exactly is. It's an empowerment, and so people don't realize, yes, it's right to say "God bless you" to somebody, but when you're saying "God bless you" to somebody, you're empowering them with that blessing, and people don't realize. They just think, "Oh, it's just a nice word. You're just being cordial. You're just being very nice." But no, it's not. It truly is an empowerment, and I want to show you what that empowerment is.

So, Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26, it says, "Now listen to this."

What is this power meant with a blessing entail? And I know most of you guys know the scripture. I quote it a lot; I give it out a lot because there's so much revelation in these scriptures. In Genesis chapter one, then of course, where do you find it? It's in the beginning. The beginning is so important to find out what God's plan and purpose was for mankind in the beginning of the Bible because what His plans never change, even if man changes, the world seems to change, but God's plan doesn't change. And so, this blessing that He empowered Adam and Eve with is a blessing that is still working today. We just didn't know about it, and we used to know how to use it. We knew nothing about it, so I want to show you this.

In Genesis 1:26, it says, "And God said, 'Let us (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) make mankind in our image, after our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the tame beasts, over all the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.'" Verse 27: "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Now, look at what verse 28 says. Genesis chapter 1, verse 28, it says, "And God blessed them, He empowered them. I want you, whenever you see the word 'bless,' I want you to say 'empowered.'" Alright, now God blessed or empowered them, and He said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it, using all of its vast resources in the service of God and man, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living creeping thing that moves upon the earth." God had given them an empowerment for them. Now I'm gonna now I want to say this really slow because I don't want to say it fast because I quote this all the time as a decree, but the blessing is an empowerment on my life, and I want you to say this, "The blessing is an empowerment on my life, right now, giving me the ability to prosper, to succeed, to increase, to multiply, to excel, and to rise above everything that attempts to hold me back and to keep me down." That's exactly what you saw when God empowered Adam and Eve. It was a blessing; it was an empowerment. He gave them complete authority and dominion on this Earth to rise above everything that creepeth upon the Earth. God gave them that power.

So, no matter what, and you can even see it. The empowerment or the blessing was still working even though they brought the curse into the Earth because they were disobedient; they didn't listen to what God said. The serpent came in; they listened to the serpent. They ate the fruit they weren't supposed to, and the curse came in. And what God had given Adam and Eve, the serpent actually is what took it and that used it, and now, there's the curse. But God still had a plan even though that power was twisted, and there was a curse that was brought upon this Earth with Adam and Eve. God still had the blessing on Adam and Eve for them to excel above the enemy, and you can see it more not really necessary in Adam and Eve's life because it kind of threw it away, but Abraham's life. Even though Adam and Eve didn't use it because they threw it away by disobeying God, but God's plan for mankind still stayed the same. So, I said that wrong before; the blessing was still in this earth, and it was still an empowerment for mankind, but Adam and Eve didn't really work for them as much as it did for other people you can see in the Bible. Abraham is a great example of the blessing working in his life because Abraham was the father of faith.

Now, I want to read something to you.

So, I want to say this again for people who are writing this down. Okay, and the reason why I'm reading it is that I quote it all the time, and I will quote it too fast. So, I want to read it out for you. The blessing is an empowerment on my life right now, giving me the ability to prosper, to succeed, to increase, to multiply, to excel, and rise above everything that attempts to hold me back and keep me down. This is a key solution to everything that's chaotic in this world, to rise above it, and it's God's blessing and God's favor. I'm going to start talking about God's favor here in a minute. I'm just going to go over a few scriptures about God's blessing. Again, there's more. There's a lot more in God's favor, but I just want to start the beginning of this teaching.

So, the power of the blessing and how to walk in God's favor. This is something that's really key. It is a solution and the answer to the chaos in your world today. God's blessing and God's favor, they're always together. With abundant increase of favors, making your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing, dispensing goods to others. So, you could say God was empowering Abraham to be a blessing, to be a distribution center. That means Abraham was so abundantly blessed that God was blessing him to bless others through Abraham. The blessing was upon our lives; it's not just supposed to stay in our life. We're supposed to be used as a vessel to almighty God. We are supposed to be blessed to be a blessing vessel. It's not supposed to stay just on us; we're supposed to distribute that blessing, not supposed to keep it just for ourselves. We're supposed to distribute the blessing.

Genesis 12:3 says, "I will bless those who bless you, who confer prosperity and happiness upon you, and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; all the families and the kindred of Earth will be blessed by you; they will bless themselves." Again, blessed means empowered. It's that empowerment for you to succeed, to excel, to increase, and to rise above everything that Satan uses to try to keep you back and to hold you down. So, from now on, from this day forward, when you think, "I thank you God that I have the blessing upon my life," I thank you. It is the key and the solution, the favor, and your blessing, to rise above everything. My adversary is doing in your favor.

Now, I'm going to read this again. It is the solution and the answer to the chaos that is in your world today. So, you can say, "I thank you, Father God, for the blessing upon my life that you are causing me to rise above everything my adversary is doing in your favor." Again, I'm going to get to that. I don't want to quote it yet because I'm getting too excited, going before it because I quote the blessing and the favor all the time together, but I want to teach you a little bit more on the foundation, the blessing. Now, I also want to show you what the blessing can do in the midst of a famine, in the midst of an economic downturn, a depression, amidst chaos. Again, there's so much more I can get into with Abraham, but I'm going to talk to you about the blessing that was on Isaac's life, and you can find that in Genesis chapter 26. You know what? Hold on a minute. I gotta go back. Hold on, hold on to Genesis chapter 26. Hold on for a minute.

All right, I want to show you something really quick. When God blessed Abraham in Genesis chapter 12 and verse two and three, I just read to you. In verse 13, so the next chapter over, Genesis 13 and verse 2, now look at this. Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. So you saw God blessed Abraham in Genesis chapter 12, and by Genesis chapter 13 and verse 2, you see him already being empowered. He's excelling, and he's rising above, and he's multiplying, and it says again in Genesis 13:2, "And Abram was very rich in livestock, and silver, and gold." And of course, there's another story with Abram and Sarah and King Abimelech and how King Abimelech took Sarah because Abraham said she was his sister. And then God came to him in a dream, he said, "Don't touch her; you're gonna die." And then King Abimelech let Sarah go. Not only did he let Sarah go, he gave her back to Abram, and then he sent them off with more than they came into that land with. So, they had favor and the blessing in the sight of an enemy because the reason why, and people think about this, because when I was a kid, I'm like, "Why did Abraham say that Sarah was a sister?" Well, if he didn't, they would have killed him to get to her. So, he lied. Now, he shouldn't have lied, but that's what he did to save his life.

And then God still showed him favor, and God so gave him the blessing, and God got him out of that situation. Now, I want you to turn to Genesis chapter 26, and I'm trying to lay a foundation of blessing, and then I get to the favor really quick as well.

Now, in Genesis chapter 26 and verse 1, you can find this, in verse one Genesis chapter 26 verse 1, there was a famine in the land. You know we have seen shortages because of the C-word (COVID) well, I'm saying COVID back in 2020. Alright, we saw a lot of shortages here in the United States of America, it was crazy, and I know it was crazy all over the world. I mean, we have stores all over the place that have stock, they just stock the shelves constantly of food and of products, but with COVID in 2020, there were empty shelves everywhere, and that wasn't just happening around here, it was happening around the world, but there was a famine at that particular point with that pandemic. Now there is inflation, there are starting shortages, and things like that are getting crazier and crazier, it's harder to get certain things, but again, it's not as bad as 2020, but your enemy, again, wants to create havoc and chaos. They want it to get darker, and God says it was going to, so how everything's going to happen, I don't know, but this is a solution even in the midst of a famine, even in the midst of darkness, even in the midst of a great depression, even amidst, God's talked about the economy, he's talked about bringing that economy down, and some people are freaking out because they don't know exactly what to do when that economy explodes, because it will, it will implode, it's like the Babelonian system, it's a system without God, God's bringing it down.

But look what happened, think of Isaac in this time, think of Abraham in this time. Genesis 26 verse 1 says, "And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham, so there's a famine in the days of Abraham, now there's a famine in the days of Isaac." Then it says, "And Isaac went to Abimelech, King of the Philistines, and Gerar." We see king Abimelech again in verse 2. The Lord appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land which I shall tell you." Now what God was telling Isaac, don't go where everybody else is going, or don't do what everybody else is doing. Don't follow the world, that's what he was saying, don't follow the world. What does he tell us all the time? Things are not how they appear to be, start speaking the word of God. We're supposed to start just declaring, we're supposed to start receiving what God is saying and not what the world is telling us. He's been saying the world has been lying, things are not how they appear to be, and God is saying don't follow the world, don't follow the world system, don't do what the world does, don't expect what the world expects. He says, "I'm taking you out of that and bringing you into a life that you didn't even know existed, a way of life you didn't even know existed." God's saying it's right here, it's in his word, and he's showing you it's that blessing, it's an empowerment even in the midst of a famine, even in the midst of something that's economic chaos. God is saying it's empowerment even though this chaos is going on around you, this blessing will sustain you, it will make you rise above, you will not be a part of those things. This is what it is, he was giving us these examples in the Bible, not just for, "Oh, that was a nice story," it was just showing you this is what to expect in the things that you are living in your own life. These things are going around the world because remember, there's nothing new under this time if they did it before, he's doing it again, he just calls it something different. So God is giving us examples of what to do and what to expect.

Now listen, verse 2, Genesis chapter, uh, Genesis 26 verse 2, the Lord appeared to him and said again when he tells him he gave him something to do, he gave him an instruction, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land which I tell you." Again, don't live like the world. God has been telling us, just like, um, well, I'm just starting to pre-record, you'll see that next Monday, but it's time to decide, and what he was saying about that prophecy, I'm just going to give you a little hint on what you're going to see next week is God is telling us there's time for us to decide on which report we believe. If we believe God, we believe him and what we can't see exactly, and we believe his word, or we're going to believe what we see and what we feel.

We had to decide. God said there's coming a time of a great separation when you see all this darkness, chaos, all this stuff going around. God is saying, listen, that is for the world, that is not for my people. Remember Goshen, he says it all the time, that was His light, He said that was I, was my protection, that was me separating, making a great distinction between my people and the Egyptians. God's doing the same thing now.

Now, verse three, He's telling him, He's giving him instruction, dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham, your father. What was the oath? I just read it to you in Genesis chapter 12, verse 2 and 3. Genesis chapter 12, verse 2 and 3. It was the blessing and His favor. I'm just about to get into it.

Verse 4, "I will make your descendants multiply as the stars in heaven, I will give your descendants all these lands, and in your seed, all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed." What is that? The blessing that empowers you to prosper, to succeed, to excel, to increase, and to rise above. This is a manifestation of the blessing right here once again in these scriptures.

Now, verse 12, for the sake of time, I can't read it all, but verse 12, then Isaac sowed in that land, again, there was a famine, but Isaac obeyed God, went to the land that God told him to go to, and Isaac sowed in that land, and look, he reaped in the same year a hundredfold, and the Lord blessed him, He empowered him to prosper over that famine. He had caused him to increase while there was a famine, while there was nothing, while there were shortages everywhere. There was a shortage, but God caused Isaac to increase while everybody else was in a famine. He separated Isaac from the rest of the world because Isaac obeyed. This is a manifestation of God's blessing.

Verse 13, "The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous." Now I want to read the Amplified version of Genesis, this is the Classic Amplified Genesis 26:12 and 13. Then Isaac sowed seed in the land and received in the same year a hundred times as much as he planted. So again, there was an increase while everybody else, there was a decrease, there was not enough, there was a shortage. God increased Isaac because there was a blessing that empowered him to rise above that shortage.

Now look what it says, "And then he said, as he was planting, and the Lord favored him with blessing." So he favored him with blessings in verse 13. "The man became very great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished."

Now, I want to go over... That was just a little bit of the blessing because I want to go over favor for a few minutes before I go into what God's favor is. God's favor... This is what I proclaim all the time, I decree it all the time. I want to read it because if I quote it, then I'll just go too fast. Alright, I gotta... well, you know what, I'm gonna quote it. I'll just quote a song.

"God's favor goes before me and opens up doors that no man can shut. It changes rules, regulations, policies on my behalf. God's favor changes rules, regulations, and policies on your behalf. God's favor goes before you and it changes things that are in the world on your behalf." So again, I'm so excited to teach this because of the importance of the favor of God, knowing the favor of God, and knowing the blessing of God, and how you will see them both at the same time.

Now, the blessing and favor, I'm gonna say this kind of slow, I'm gonna try to. The blessing and favor make you superior to your circumstances. I already showed you a few examples of the blessing and favor, God mentioned both with Abraham and with Isaac. Alright, so the blessing and favor make you superior to your circumstances. Now I'm gonna go more to favor can do what money can't do. Favor can do what money can't do. Look what happened with Isaac, no amount of money in the world at that time would have stopped the famine that was going on in the land with it would have been in Isaac's own life, okay, the amount of money would have stopped the famine, there was a shortage. But God increased him. Not only was finances, but he increased him and his flock, which was his food. He increased him and his crops. God increased him and gave him favor. So sometimes and people have to realize, no matter what is in the world today,

No matter how much money these people have, no matter what they do, and no matter what they say, no matter what position they're in, God's blessing and God's favor can cause you to rise above anything and anyone in any position because God is the one who has the ultimate say-so in the situations going on in your life that is causing you problems. That's causing you to, for instance, always even say it's financially, if it's causing you to live paycheck by paycheck or it's causing you to have so much poverty, so much debt, and so much lack that you can't be that distribution center and you can't be that blessing that God wants you to be.

God's blessing and God's favor can rise you above even what you make in your job, and I know the church doesn't talk like that. I know that most churches won't speak like that, but it's true. God showed you that with Abraham. God shows you that with Isaac. Now, favor can do what money can't do. Now favor can do what power can't do. Because look what happened with King Abimelech and Abraham and Sarah. He was a king; he had the most powerful position in that area. But when God showed up, not only did that king, that powerful position that he had, he had to give up what he wanted, he gave up Sarah that he wanted, and then he also gave him flock, or he gave him money, and he said, "Go take a land and go do whatever you want." He increased Abraham. Again, that was a powerful position, but God rose Abraham and Sarah above that position, and they got things that belonged to the king.

You can also see that in Exodus; go to Exodus, I know you're surprised I'm going there again, Exodus chapter 3. This was a blessing and the favor of God. Look in verse 19. Okay, you had Pharaoh. You guys know the story; I'm gonna go over it really fast. You have Pharaoh, who was the powerful position at that time. Pharaoh had God's people enslaved, and Moses kept going to him and Moses kept saying, "Let my people go," and you all know the story. He wouldn't let them go, so that's why the plagues happened, and then that's where the angel of death came at the very end.

Look what God said in Exodus chapter 3, verse 19, "And I know the king of Egypt will not let you go unless forced to do so, no, not by a mighty hand." Verse 20, "Now I'm going to do another teaching at some point about the hand of God because it is the right hand of God and then the hand of God. There are powerful teachings on those. So, I'll stretch out my hand and then smite the Egyptians with all my wonders, which I will do in its midst, after that, he will let you go." So, it didn't matter the power that Pharaoh had; it didn't matter. Look what He did to them. And I will give these people favor, so God's hand went before His people. Remember, they had the blessing on their life; you know, they didn't look like it, but God gave them favor in the sight of the Egyptians and respect in the sight of the Egyptians.

"And it shall be that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed." So, they got all the possessions that the Egyptians took from them and enslaved them with. They took those possessions away; they taxed them into slavery. So, He got all those possessions back, and the possessions that the Egyptians had, the Egyptians gave up what they had, just like you saw with King Abimelech and Abraham. Right now, King Abimelech didn't give him everything, but he gave him a lot, and it says, "But every woman shall solicit her neighbor and all that be residing at her house, jewels and articles of silver and gold, and garments, which you shall put on your sons and daughters, and you shall strip the Egyptians of belongings due to you." God's favor went before them and it restored what belonged to them.

All right.

So again, I'm going to say the favor can do what money can't do, the favor can do what power can't do, favor can do what seniority can't do, and favor can do what influence can't do. So the favor can change rules, regulations, policies on your behalf; it can open up doors that no man can shut.

So there are times in my life when I knew I had to have the favor of God when dealing with certain people in situations and circumstances. I said, "Father God, I thank you that your favor goes before me and opens up doors that no man can shut. It changes rules, regulations, policies; it changes these things, and I thank you, Father God, on my behalf, it will change your favor, changes rules, regulations, policies for my life; it will change them. So no matter what's going on, you have the favor of God."

So long, long, long, long, long time ago, my husband and I were renting a house, and our kids were very, very little. And the owner of that house decided to sell that house without telling us—whistles around, you know, the time of that economic crash back in 2008, 2009. And there was really nowhere to go; there were not a lot of houses for sale. Banks weren't really lending that great, and we had three young kids.

I remember being threatened with that, "You have to get out." It was unjustifiable; we were great renters; we did nothing bad or anything, but it was just like he was just gonna sell the house without telling us. And I said, "Lord, I thank you that your favor goes before me and opens up doors that no man can shut. It will change this situation. I thank you that your blessing is changing this situation. No matter what happens, Father God, you're the one that supplies this for me and my family."

Now, it came to the time where there were a few days before we were supposed to move out, and I did not pack a box. I said, "God is going to change this; I'm going to have favor in the sight of this person. It is not going to happen; it's not going to go through. We are not going to have to be homeless; I refuse that situation in my life because I was studying the favor; I was studying the blessing. This is something I've been studying for like 13 years. That's why I'm trying to, there's so much of it; I'm trying to do this in a very, you know, just a foundation that I'm not confusing you, but at the same time, I'm giving you a foundation to build upon because there's so much information regarding these two subjects. Again, they're one, but they're so powerful, and I just wanted to show you guys it can change things.

So anyway, this was like a Wednesday, and we were supposed to move out by that Friday, and again, I was proclaiming and creating God's favor and God's blessing. That man came and said, "You can stay"; we had favor in that side of that man, and that whole deal fell through, and we stayed in that house. Why? Until it was the right time until we moved and we found a house that God had for us and God set aside for us. But again, it was a favor of God; it was the blessing of God. No matter what that man wanted, and no matter what he used to try to get us out, God's power was that empowerment, and God's favor was the one that changed that problem.

And so when we were asking and praying for favor, our favor showed up in an ungodly man. This person was not a born-again Christian; he was a worldly man. But God's favor showed up, and we were able to stay, and we didn't have to move anywhere until we had the house that God had for us again, and we had favor with that one as well. So it was God's favor that showed up in so many different ways, as long as we're asking God and expecting it.

I thank you, Father God, that your favor is opening up doors that no man can shut. I thank you, Father God, I had this situation in my life. I had this situation in my life, but I thank you, Father God, you're opening up those doors, and you're closing those doors that those men can't shut. You're closing those doors, Father God, to the enemy, that he cannot rule, he cannot reign, and he cannot keep this situation in my life. I thank you, Father God, that you are changing the course of this situation, and that favor and your blessing is the solution to that problem.

So, you're going to need the favor of God now, perhaps more than any other time in history, as you can see the darkness that's overwhelmed and the chaos it's overwhelming this world right now that God said it was going to happen. When you have God's favor and God's blessing, I'm giving you illustrations of God's favor and God's blessing in manifestation with his people in the midst of an impossible situation, in the midst of darkness, in the midst of chaos, and God's favor and God's blessing showed up, and it changed their life. It changed the problem; it was a solution to the problem that God's people were facing.

And so if we know that that empowerment, that blessing upon our lives, it's not just again, "God bless you" when somebody sneezes. It's an empowerment for you to rise above every situation, every circumstance, every test, and trial that your adversary is trying to throw at you. That is a solution to that. That is what God is telling you. "Hey, I have empowered you to rise above your enemy. I've given you favor in the sight of enemies." You can see that again in Exodus. There are so many different scriptures that I can give about the favor and about God's people having favor in the sight of an enemy. Remember that unruly judge or the unjust judge, and the woman kept going back, a woman kept going back, someone kept going back, and he was just like, "Give her whatever she wants to stop bugging me." She had the favor of God. Favor goes before us, and it changes the situations in our life, and so does the blessing.

Now, um, I want to, oh, there's so many I can go to right now. Hold on, go to Exodus 3:21 again, and it says, "And I will give this people favor and respect in the sight of the Egyptians, and it shall be that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed." They didn't leave empty-handed. They were empty-handed when you saw the favor of God. They didn't leave empty-handed. When God's people are experiencing distress, chaos, is all over the world and all around them, the favor of God is about to manifest in your life, and it's going to bring you through the worst of times and turn them into the best of times. That's exactly what God wanted for his people in Egypt. He got him out of that with favor and with hand. They got all the belongings that were due to them, what Pharaoh and all of his men had stolen from them, and then took all the things that the Egyptians had, the possessions of Egypt, and then we're supposed to go right into a land of overflowing with milk and honey. That was God's plan. Remember when they came out and they spied the land? The grapes were huge, the food was huge, because God said, "I'm leading you into a land flowing with milk and honey," that means I'm leading you into a land of increase, of more than enough. I'm leading you into a land where I'm going to provide for you well. There is no lack. But God's people didn't listen, and they didn't get to see it. Some of them never saw it. In other words, it was delayed for 40 years.

But again, in Exodus chapter 3:21, when God, the favor of God, shows up, in his blessing, they are inseparable, and look how it changes things, look how it changed an enslavement of an entire nation. God's blessing and God's favor changed the whole entire thing that would happen with an enslavement of a nation in a day. That's our God. Now go to Psalm 3:8. Now a lot of people don't even know where scriptures are for favor. I'm, again, I'm only going to give a couple today because of time because I have to go. But I'll teach on this again, and I'll get more descriptive with it.

Psalm 3 verse 8: "Salvation belongs to the Lord; may your blessing be upon your people. May the blessing be upon your people." So, the blessing is upon us. I'm going to give you a couple of scriptures of blessing and a couple of scriptures of favor, alright? Now, go to Galatians chapter 3, verses 13 and 14. Christ purchased our freedom, redeeming us from the curse of doing the law and His condemnation. He became the curse for us, for it is written in scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree," that is crucified. Verse 14: "To the end that through receiving Christ Jesus, and because you receive Christ Jesus, the blessing promised to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we, through faith, might all receive the revelation, the promise of the Holy Spirit. The blessing is upon us, that empowerment is upon us. We just have to know that there's an empowerment there, we just have to know that God has given us the ability to rise above all these situations and circumstances, all these tests and trials, all these things that the enemy is throwing at you. God has given you an empowerment that's upon you. If you receive Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have that blessing on you right now, even though you have not seen it maybe in your life. You may not experience it in your life, and God's saying it's on you. And now that you know about it, remember, knowing the truth, the truth sets you free. Knowing it, you can know that right now, you can rise above every situation that is in your life today because that blessing is upon your life.

Alright, now Psalm 41, verse 11: "By this I know that your favor and delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me." One of the manifestations of the favor of God is that your enemy will not triumph over you. The psalmist said, "Here's one of the ways I know for a fact that I have the favor of God on my life because my enemy never triumphs over me." So, you can say, "I thank you Father God, your favor's on my life and my enemy never triumphs over me." Say that with me: "My enemy never triumphs over me." Why? Because I have the favor of God. The favor of God can keep you protected from the enemy. It will keep you from experiencing defeat and failure at the hands of the enemy. So, you have an empowerment that rises you above, but you also have the favor that protects you.

If you know these things, again, this is just the beginning of this, this is just the beginning of you realizing. If I don't know if you've ever been taught about the favor of God and the blessing of Almighty God, it's right there in the scripture. There's so many I want to give to you, I just don't have enough time today. But it's so important for you to know these empowerments, for you to know that this is a protection, for you to know that God has a solution for all the chaos and all the problems in this world. He's given it to you; you just have to know about it so you can receive it in your life. The enemy cannot triumph over you. God has a blessing upon your life, He has a favor upon your life. So, if you think about these things and just again start that foundation, start reading the scriptures that I gave to you.

Start even doing your own search about blessing scriptures or favorite scriptures, but I will get more into that and show you what God has in store for you. Even in such darkness, God can bring so much light, so much increase in your life to rise you above everything that's trying to hold you down, everything that's trying to keep you back, everything that's trying to get you to be a part of the world. God is saying, "Come out of it." Remember Jesus said in John 17, verse 13 through 17, he said it twice, "You are in this world, but you are not of it."

God is telling us to be separate from the world. Don't live like them, don't talk like them, don't act like them, don't receive like them. Receive from me, receive what I've already done. He's already given this empowerment, He's already given us His favor. It even says in one scripture, "His favor surrounds us like a shield." His favor surrounds us like a shield, and so it's a protection. It shields us from the enemy. Remember that prophetic word, He said, He's the one who stands between them and us. His favor protects us like a shield.

So if we think about these things, and we have to realize that our enemy has no power that can touch our Almighty God and the things that He's doing in us and through us. And that should excite any of you today, no matter if you're facing court cases, no matter if you're facing a situation in your job, now if you're facing a situation in your marriage, or whatever it is, God's blessing and God's favor can change those situations. It can change a ruling of a judge, yes it can.

And so again, if we think about this and we really truly get dive deep into this and realize what God has given us, remember He's given us the armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, as Ephesians 6:12 says. But if He's given us that, the armor of God, now we know He's given us a blessing, it's an empowerment. We also know He's given us favor, which is also protection, and it goes before us, not just with us. It goes before us, remember God scatters the enemy before we get there. God can stand between us and our enemy, and the enemy can't touch us.

Even Job, when Satan was trying to convince God to bring down that hedge of protection, remember there's a hedge of protection around Job. He said, "You have a hedge of protection around Job," and he's like, "Take it down." God said, "I can't take it down, you can't take it down, the only person that can take it down is Job." It was Job, by his mouth. God wouldn't remove the hedge of protection, Satan couldn't remove it. The only person that could was Job, and it was with his mouth and what he did. But then Job realized how forceful his words were in the sight of God, and God doubled everything that had been stolen from him, the blessing.

So, when you're thinking about all the things that are wrong, that's going on in our nations, all things that are going around in the schools, all the things going wrong in our justice systems, all the things going on in our governments, whatever it is, the blessing and God's favor are the solution to what's going on in the world today. We just have to know about it, and once we know about these things, that truth can set us free.

Well, I want to pray and reach every one of you that you have this insight, you get this revelation on the inside of you.

About how powerful that blessing is, how powerful God's favor is. I didn't get to very many scriptures, this is just a few that I had to give to you today, but it is something that you can build upon and start really getting it on the inside of you to change the way you see your situations and the circumstances you're facing in your own lives today.

So, Heavenly Father, we just want to praise and thank you for the insight, for revelation knowledge on your empowerment, of the blessing, on your favor that's a protection. We want to thank you, Father God, that your favor does go before us, it is opening up doors that no man can shut, it's changing rules, regulations, policies that have to change before us. I want to praise and thank you, Father God, that that blessing is an empowerment that's changing, uh, that there's a blessing empowerment that causes us to rise above, to increase, to excel, to increase above everything that tries to keep us back and hold us down.

I thank you, Father God, that your children right now are realizing the power of the blessing that is upon them, that it is causing them to rise above any situation that the enemy is trying to use against your people. I thank you, Father God, for revelation knowledge of your word, that you are the greater one, that you are inside of us, that you have empowered us, that you have shielded us, you are protecting us, that you are giving us every tool, every weapon that we have, not only to survive, no, no, you're giving it all of us to thrive.

I thank you, Father God, that they get this revelation on the inside of them, and it's changing their circumstances, it is changing things in their life, it's changing the way they see their situations, it's changing the way they see the world, it's changing the way they see you, Father God, that you didn't just put them on this Earth and just leave them, you put them on this Earth and you empower them, and you are protecting them, and you are giving them solutions to every problem, that you are right in the above every problem, that you are giving them the victory, that you are the restorer that will restore everything that's been stolen, and even if there was a famine and even if there were shortages, that you are increasing them despite any of it because you are the God of increase.

And I thank you, Father God, that they know that, they know that, they know how special they are, how important they are to you, how important they are to the end-time harvest of souls, how important they are to the kingdom of God, that they are light in the midst of a dark world.

And we want to praise and thank you, Father God, for every victory. We want to praise and thank you, Father God, for turning every test into a testimony. I thank you, Father God, for healing them right now in their bodies, for touching them from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, and I thank you, Father God, that they shall live and not die, that they are not sick but they are healed, they are not weak but they are strong, and I thank you for it in Jesus' name, amen and amen.

Again, get this revelation on the inside of you. "I have the blessing that's empowering me to rise above everything that Satan is trying to do to keep me back and hold me down." Start shouting out those scriptures, start getting in your prayer closet, start just studying them. You will start to shout your enemy down and realize that no power he has and no enemy he uses is bigger than our God and stronger than the blessing that is upon your life today and the favor that's protecting you from anything that Satan tries to do against you.

Well, I hope to encourage you today. Please like, subscribe, and share, and give this to everyone you know who needs to hear an encouraging word, who needs to hear the truth because the truth will set you free. God loves you, I love you, God bless you, and have a wonderful day!
