How Would You Live if You Couldn't Fail? Abundant Favor is Your Inheritance
Being in the heavenly realms with Jesus Christ is beyond anyone’s ability to comprehend. When I came back to this earthly realm, it took some time and adjustment between what I knew was true from the visitation and what was happening in my environment at the present time in this earth realm. It seemed at times that there were two different worlds, and I wondered how to define the boundaries between the two and live successfully in both at the same time.
I began to use the principles that Jesus taught me by the power of the Holy Spirit, implementing them into my life with great results. It did not come quickly or easily at first, but through persistence I felt a great breakthrough and began to understand how to live in both realms simultaneously.
One day, when I was traveling and doing conferences, I was sitting in a coffee shop with a group of minister friends. As we sat and talked and sipped our coffee, I looked behind the ministers and was astounded to see that Jesus had walked up and was standing behind them. The power of God was so strong, but they did not seem to know He was there.
Jesus looked right at me to get my attention and candidly asked me to present a question to my minister friends at the table. Jesus said, “Ask them how they would live tomorrow if they knew they could not fail.” So I asked the question Jesus wanted me to relay to them. I can tell you that their mental capacity couldn’t wrap around what was just said. Because of this fallen world and the way that we have been trained to believe, it is beyond our mental capacity to think that failure can be eliminated. At first thought, it seems that Jesus Himself could not even appear to us and help us out of our dilemmas.
After giving them some time to think about it, I suggested that they begin to plan their life out with this framework of thinking—it’s all rigged in your favor. In Heaven, God has never planned for you to fail even though you may have already done so. There has never been an angel sent that thought he was going to fail, and yet failure seems to be prevalent in many Christians’ lives. On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was sent, He never once thought He was going to fail. Since your spirit was born again by the Holy Spirit on the day that you confessed Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit within you has never thought about failure once in your case.
The books that are written about you in Heaven must come to pass. Each one of your days was written before one of them came to pass (see Ps. 139:16). God has amazing plans for you, and the angels of the Lord of Heaven have been sent to help implement those plans so that you can glorify God in this life and live in two realms at once. So I ask you the same question. How would you live tomorrow if you knew you couldn’t fail? All of Heaven is waiting for your reply. God and the cloud of witnesses all believe in you and are ready to change your course in this life so that you can become the history maker you were destined to be.
When Favor Takes Over
Lord, how wonderfully you bless the righteous. Your favor wraps around each one and covers them under your canopy of kindness and joy (Psalm 5:12 TPT).
I remember the day when things turned and I began to have tremendous favor in my life. It was the day that the tables turned against my enemy and I no longer lived as a victim. This change must happen in every believer’s life, and the sooner it happens the better. I can tell you where I was standing when I was touched by the Holy Spirit with revelation and saw that I was no longer a victim but that my enemy was now the victim!
It all began one morning several years ago, as I woke up. I remember sensing in my spirit that things had changed. It was as if I knew I had the advantage over satan. I realized that my spirit had been built up by the Word of God and by praying in tongues, which had overthrown certain areas in my life. It seemed as though it literally happened overnight. I was overwhelmed with the feeling that everything now had been rigged in my favor.
As I stood by my bed, I began to address the enemy, instructing him with accuracy and confidence what he was to do and not do. It was as if I was staring my enemy down, knowing that he had to back off and was afraid of me. From that day on, I knew that I was to never back off from what I know concerning my position in Jesus Christ. As the months followed after this encounter, I started to see increased favor taking over my life. I was no longer a victim but was highly favored by God, and I knew it.
I could sense a greater authority in my words as I spoke and walked with God. It was all part of the favor of God taking over my life. It has gotten to the place where I see my prayers answered without even uttering them. It’s as if God reads and hears my heart without words. I started to encounter the glory of God in my meditation and prayer times. As the glory became stronger, I even started to see physical changes in my house for the better. Every single area of my life started to increase with favor as the glory of God began to be revealed.
Evil spirits will eventually realize that they are pushing you into the glory of the Father The evil spirits recognize that it is counterproductive for them to continue to harass a Christian who is no longer a victim in their mind. I began to treat evil spirits as victims and harass them. The Lord began to work with me, confirming His Word with signs and wonders following (see Mark 16:20). I remember thinking how so many of my friends and acquaintances needed this same type of encounter to occur in their own lives.
Does God have favorites? Well, I do know this; He has a way of making each one of His children feel as though they are His only favorite child. I remember spending time with Jesus in 1992 when He appeared to me. I recall His love for me and how He believed in me more than any other person I knew. As I looked into His eyes, I was captured by His love for me. Up until that time, I didn’t know how extreme His passion is for each one us. He had bought me, and I was worth the price! By the time He was done revealing His plans for me and explaining how much He believed in me, I was convinced that I was His favorite! He has this way of making all His children who love and obey Him experience this. I had become irresistible to Him before I was even born, and He had written about me in a book. This revelation overwhelmed me, and I came back to this earth fully convinced that I was His favorite and could not fail. My assignment now is to convince others that it is the same in their life as well.
