Have you ever wondered why the enemy is hell bent on wrestling out of your heart, mouth, head what God has promised you or spoken to you? What bothers him so much about what God speaks to you? Why does he want to get you to doubt what God has told you? In Luke 1, Elizabeth is speaking to Mary and she says in verse 45 “Great favor rests upon you, for you have believed every word spoken to you from the Lord.” The favor of God is what the enemy hates seeing on you, seeing on me.

Luke 2:52 says, “As Jesus grew, so did his wisdom and maturity. The favor of men increased upon his life, for he was greatly loved by God.” The favor of God on your life is evidence of God’s love for you. Satan hates the truth that God is so in love with you, which is why God speaks to you, why God makes promises to you, why the enemy seeks to convince you God is not for you, God does not love you, God does not see you. God loves you so much, He favors you. Favor is an invisible attribute you carry in the earth realm, but is extremely visible to the spirit world. Satan knows you are favored by God, loved deeply by God, henceforth why he tries so hard to convince you otherwise.

Our inability to accept, embrace and dwell in the truth that God loves us, that His favor rests upon us, that He is for us, is all the work of the enemy on us. Satan will do whatever he can to get you to doubt the promises God has given you, for in the fulfillment of those promises you will know God really does love you. The love of God is about to crash in on us in a way that is going to overwhelm us. Promises spoken are going to become realities we live. He is not a God of all talk no action. Job 42:5-6 said it this way, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.” We are about to repent, change the way we think about God, because He is about to show us His love for us!
