Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 11
”Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.“
Hebrews 11:1-3 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
The drumbeat of My favor is upon you and is approaching. The drumbeat of My favor marks out a steady cadence in your life. You can rely on it. You can expect it. You can anticipate it. And you can walk into it every time, as you stay upon the narrow path of My calling. The drumbeat of My favor goes before you and meets you when you arrive.
”Faith translated Enoch from this life and he was taken up into heaven! He never had to experience death; he just disappeared from this world because God promoted him. For before he was translated to the heavenly realm his life had become a pleasure to God. And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who passionately seek him.“
Hebrews 11:5-6 TPT
On the many stops and temporary destinations along the way, the drumbeat of My favor is marking out your time, is marking out your pace, is marking out your path and is leading you into My grace. You don’t have to work to earn it. Stay close to My heart. You can’t manufacture it, and you have no need to manipulate minds, hearts, relationships and circumstances like those on the wide path do. My favor is not manipulatable. It is trustworthy and true. My favor and grace will meet you wherever you go. They are carving out the path in front of you as you remain in Me, as you stay close to My heart, as you stay in faith and in expectation of good. Your faith, your strong faith keeps you tethered to My favor. Faith and favor go hand in hand. Faith attracts My favor.
”Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the familiar to discover the territory he was destined to inherit from God. So he left with only a promise and without even knowing ahead of time where he was going, Abraham stepped out in faith. He lived by faith as an immigrant in his promised land as though it belonged to someone else. He journeyed through the land living in tents with Isaac and Jacob who were persuaded that they were also co-heirs of the same promise. His eyes of faith were set on the city with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself“
Hebrews 11:8-10 TPT
Walk with Me. Trust My leading. Let adventure be your mindset. It is your portion. Yours is not a formulaic life. It is to be a life of faith, marked by My grace and great favor as you continually step out into the unknown, as you continually follow My promptings of your heart and the sound of My voice saying, “come with Me,” “step out onto the water,” “this is the way, walk in it.” Choose adventure. Refuse fear. Discard fear. Listen to the cadence of My drumbeat of favor, and get in lockstep with Me. Expect My favor to guide you and to meet you at every step and stop along the way. My favor will always meet your faith. They are like magnets to one another. Your faith draws My favor. That’s how you get what you expect. This is the law and the principle of receiving the expected outcome. Expect My favor. Expect the great and the very good. Your faith will draw them to you.
How To Respond
- Ask the Lord to help you discipline your mind to expect His favor and to anticipate the best result.
- Pray, Lord help me to retrain my mind and heart to ask, “what’s the best that could happen?” Help me to refuse fear, to refuse worst-case scenarios and to walk by faith, not by sight. Help me to move at the sound of Your voice and the prompting of Your Spirit. I want to get in step with the drumbeat of Your favor.
- Declare, the Lord has made a way for me to prosper and succeed in all that I do.
- Decree, I will trust the Lord my God. I will walk by faith, filled with adventure. I will refuse fear, and I will embrace and believe that all of the Lord’s plans for me are good — to give me a future and a hope. I can walk in bold confidence every day — because the Lord is with me, and His favor marks out the path in front of me.
