When the favor of God is upon you and goes before you, then you can walk with your head up high. You can walk with a sense of confidence and security knowing full well that God is on your side.

Psalm 89:17 says, "For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted."

The Amplified says it this way, "For you are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], and by, Your favor our horn is exalted and we walk with up lifted faces!"

The people of God shouldn't be walking around with their heads down in sorrow and defeat wondering, "My God, what are we ever going to do? How are we ever going to get out of this!" No, when God's favor is on you, you should be walking with an uplifted face.

You should walk with a countenance of joy on you! Even though all of hell's power has broken loose in your life, you are confident that your God will deliver you. Amen.

When you walk in the favor of God, you don't bow down to Satan's pressure any more. He is no longer your master.

It's time to stand up and tell him, "You're talking to someone who is highly favored of God. Are you trying to tell me this is impossible? Just watch. I love it when you say, 'impossible' because you don't know who you are talking to. I have favor with God. The favor of God surrounds me like a shield. It goes before me. It causes me to have a countenance of joy even in adversity. It enables me to laugh at my enemy because I know his day is coming."

The Body of Christ needs to learn to walk in God's favor. We need to expect to increase in it, and have a positive attitude that every adversity will be turned into victory because the favor of God is upon us and we cannot be defeated.
