Happy Friday!

Let’s get this holiday weekend started! Today, my wife and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. We are also looking forward to spending time with our family later this weekend. What are you looking forward to do this weekend? No matter the activities or plans, there is favor for you!

Psalm 5:12 says that God surrounds us with favor as a shield. You are surrounded by favor! Remember 2nd Corinthians 8:9 (AMPC) says, “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].”

God’s blessing and favor are designed to make you superior to your circumstances. Your circumstances are not supposed to rule you. You are supposed to rule them. In today’s podcast, we expound on this thought. It’s time to become more aware of the favor that surrounds us. This September, believe for every favor to come your way. Stream today’s podcast and then share it with someone you know that needs to hear it and be encouraged. I’m praying for you. Have an amazing weekend!

Also, men, don’t miss this opportunity! Our Men of Faith Roundtable is coming up! This year’s roundtable will be held from October 22nd to October 24th in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles.
