Project Favor of the Lord
A: As God's people we walk in the favor of the Lord, not because of who we are but because we have been placed in Christ. Father God loves and favors Jesus, and therefore we walk in that same favor and love of God and we are to spread the favor and love of the Lord to all.
A: Kris was given a dream, February 5, 2011 and in that dream she was told by the Lord to take others and go out and pray over the businesses of the Forest Lake area. She asked the Lord for specifics, and the project was launched immediately.
A: God is love. He desires that every single person knows Him and is saved. He made everyone and longs to show mercy, compassion and kindness to everyone who would receive it. As those who know and love Jesus, we desire to show that love to everyone as well and demonstrate that God is good. The Bible tells us that because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, those who receive His gift of life are adopted into the very family of God as sons and daughters. As we walk in this understanding, we recognize that God has given us everything we need through Christ to live our life in victory in every single circumstance and to put it bluntly, we love Jesus so much that we want everyone to get a taste of that awesome victory that He makes available to all. So, what is "God's favor"? It is the fact that God has promised to bless and walk with everyone who trusts in Him for salvation. We no longer face life's situations alone, we have the God who made the universe guiding and directing us in every step we take.
A: Chances are you've probably heard something somewhere about salvation, maybe complicated or confusing but it's very simple. Salvation is simply being made right with God. We recognize that on our own we cannot please God no matter how hard we try because at some point in our lives we have all broken God's laws. BUT because God loves us so much, He sent his only Son, Jesus to pay our debt to God. He is the only one in all of history that lived a perfect life and so His sacrifice on the cross 2000 years ago is recognized by God as perfect. Through Christ's death and resurrection, God makes salvation available as a gift to everyone who will receive it. But just like any gift, you have to receive it for it to be yours. To receive God's gift of salvation, you trust that God is real, that Jesus, God's Son, paid for your sins by dying on the cross and rising from the grave. It's simple because God wants to save as many as possible. Thankfully, He doesn't leave it up to us to earn our way to heaven because if we're honest with ourselves we know that we all fall short in many ways. That's why Jesus paid our price, because He never fails.
