You Are Favored No More Excuses

Exodus 3:20-22



20. And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go.

21. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that when ye go, ye shall not go empty.

22. But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.



Exodus 12: 31-36



31. And he called for Moses and Aarron by night, and said, Rise up, and get out fourth from among my people. Both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.

32. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye said, and be gone; and bless me also.

33. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

34. And the people, took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

35. And the children of Isarael did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

36. And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.



Now look at this word Favor- An act of kindness, approval; goodwill; friendly regard, partiality; to be lenient or show generous treatment. A thing given or worn as a mork of favor or support a badge or a small present or token given.



Now in this 3rd chapter here God had already called Moses and already told Moses that "Certainly I will be with Thee". God had already told Moses who to tell the children of Israel who sent him, I Am That I Am:



God is calling us to an exodus. When you exit something that means you leave something, some place, or somebody, But God will not have us leave something unless He has something better in place for us. Our job is to have faith in the source and not rely on the resource.



See Moses had already started to make not an exodus but excuses on why he should not be the one. Just like us today God will be calling us to move and we will start making excuses on why we should stay in the same situation we are in. I'm going to church as soon as I get myself together, I don't have any money so I'm not going to church today, I used to go to church but somebody was mean to me so I don't go anymore, and my favorite you all be in church just to long.



21. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.



God will not send you empty if you walk in faith believing and trusting him you can't fail. He has already prepared the way.

The problem is that we are not using the favor that God has granted us. We want to keep walking around with our heads hung low singing that same old song woe is me. When God is saying if you would just trust me I will make your ememies give you what you need, If you would just trust me I will comfort you, if you would just trust me I have already paved the way for you, if you would just trust me I will give you rest, If you would just trust me I will give you peace. If you would just trust God....



No more excuses, no more of playing the blame game, no more pity parties just turst and believe. It's time for the devil to have a pity party.



If you don't believe that you are favored why don't you think you haven't gotten what you really deserve? Let me explain I'm a sinner saved by grace had it not been for the Lord who was on my side Oh where would I be?



You know the story they wondered in the wilderness for 40yrs, but they never went hungry, they never went thirsty, they never even wore a hole in their sandal. Why? Because they were favored. Even in all their murmuring and complaining they were still favored.



12th Chapter

36. And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.



Now sometime has passed here and in all the proceeding chapters up to this point all they did was complain not just the children of Israel but their leader Moses as well. See when the storms start to blow in our lives we tend to forget that we are walking in the favor of God we begin to forget all the other storms that He has brought us through. We start to sing that song what have you done for me lately? If we would just remember that we are highly favored and God will take that bad thing and turn it around for our good.



We still have the favor of God will you walk in that favor today or will waddle in the mud. Pick yourself up and walk in the favor of God and make that devil have a pity party of his own.
