Immeasurable Favor
This past week the Lord gave me a dream where I was receiving favor every day. I knew this was a word for His people. This is a time on the Hebrew calendar for favor to flow in the earth. There is a portal in Heaven open, now until July 9 at sundown, which is the 17th day of Tammuz. God is pouring out His favor immeasurably upon His people for advancement of the Kingdom. This is not unusual; when God wants things done in the earth He will pour forth His favor. Why? Because the favor of God opens doors that no man can open himself. We know favor opened doors for many, including Esther, David, Moses, Joseph, Daniel, and even our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
As the people of God, we need favor active in our lives because favor divinely connects us to right relationships, in season, to accomplish God's purposes. Our God never sleeps and He is always working. We are called to join Him in His work. We, as the people of God, must let favor run its course.
So why favor in Tammuz? The Hebrew calendar month of Tammuz began Monday June 22 at sundown. This is the month in which the Israelites made the golden calf out of the wealth spoiled from the Egyptians. God had given them favor with the Egyptians and they took the spoils to travel with them as provision on their journey to the promised land. While Moses was on Mt. Sinai, receiving the Law, the impatient Israelites determined to make a golden calf out of the wealth given them. When Moses arrived, he saw the camp in chaos and sin destroying God's people.
God was angry with the way His people had now taken His blessing and began to worship it. The Word says in Exodus 32:7-10 (NIV), "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." I have seen these people,' the Lord said to Moses, 'and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave Me alone so that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.'"(Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Take a look at how God feels in this passage. He is broken because He brought the people out of Egypt and now they are giving worship to wealth that was given to them by God. They have abandoned a heart for God and instead turned to a false image.
Then God tells Moses, "I will make you into a great nation." Moses has favor with the Lord. What does Moses do with this favor? He takes it to save a nation.
The Word says in Exodus 32:11-14 (NIV), "But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. 'Lord,' he said, 'why should Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, "It was with evil intent that He brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth"? Turn from Your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on Your people. Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom You swore by Your own self: "I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever."' Then the Lord relented and did not bring on His people the disaster He had threatened... (continue reading)
