  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie and it's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time right now for today's word, the language of favor.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Job ten and twelve says you have granted me life
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and favor, and your care has preserved my spirit. The
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: story of Job reminds us that life can change in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: an instant. One moment, he was surrounded by abundance, he
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was surrounded by family, wealth, health, and the next everything
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: seemed to fall apart. His losses were so overwhelming that
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: even his closest friends assumed he had done something wrong.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yet Job's herd posture was different. In the middle of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: unbearable pain, he declared, God, you granted me life and favor,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and I know favor is coming again, y'all. That's powerful.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Job understood something we often forget. Hardship is a season,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: not the whole story. He refused to let temporary circumstances
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: define God's eternal goodness. Instead of magnifying his pain, Job
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: magnified his God. He chose to keep speaking the language
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of favor even when nothing in his life looked favorable.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That same principle applies to us when we're facing difficulties,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: whether it's sickness, financial struggle, or disappointment. It's tempting to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: dwell on how bad things look. But what if, like Job,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we dare to declare favor in the middle of our storeroom.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: What if instead of saying I'll never make it, we
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: said I'm blessed, I'm strong, I'm more than a conqueror.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: God is still on the throne, He's still in control,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and favor is on my life. Your words carr and power.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Right when you speak faith, you align yourself with Heaven's perspective.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Just as Jogo came out stronger, healthier, and more blessing before,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you too can believe that God is working behind the scenes,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: setting you up for restoration and setting you up for increase.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you. Thank you for granting us
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: life and comforing us with your favor even in difficult seasons.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Help us to see beyond the struggle and trust that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you are working for are good. We choose to declare
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: your promises and speak the language of favor over our future.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We believe God that you will bring us out better
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: than before. In Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I want you to take that, apply that to your
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It's your early WHATY Praise Party. I am Sherry macke
