🌟 A Christmas Reflection: Trusting God and Walking in Divine Favor As the world gathers to celebrate the beauty of Christmas, we are reminded of the incredible truth that God took on flesh. This season is more than gifts and decorations—it’s about the profound reality of salvation through Jesus Christ. God entered the world as a baby, born in a humble manger, to save us from the penalty and power of sin. Through His blood, His Word, and His Spirit, we are empowered to trust Him, obey Him, and experience His favor. 🎁 The Gift of Trust and Obedience The Holy Spirit is our helper, enabling us to trust God fully and walk in obedience to Him. And here’s the beautiful part: as we obey God, He begins to trust us. This trust opens doors to anointing, favor, and blessings that allow others to trust us too. It’s a divine circle of grace. Let’s reflect on a story from scripture that illustrates how God delights in trusting people and granting them favor: --- Joseph: From the Pit to the Palace Joseph’s life in Genesis is a masterclass in divine favor. Despite being betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, Joseph remained faithful to God. He trusted God’s promises, even in prison. In Genesis 41, we see the culmination of Joseph’s obedience and trust. Pharaoh himself declares, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:38, NIV). Joseph is entrusted with managing all of Egypt during a severe famine. His faithfulness not only saves his family but an entire nation. This story reminds us that God’s favor isn’t just for our benefit—it’s a blessing for those around us. Joseph’s trust in God and obedience led to divine favor that made him a vessel of provision and restoration. --- 🚗 A Modern Example: Trusting Children with Responsibility Think about parents who want the best for their children. They lovingly guide their kids, teaching them the importance of responsibility and obedience. When a teenager demonstrates maturity, parents begin to trust them with greater responsibilities—like the car keys or access to financial resources. This trust isn’t automatic; it’s earned through consistency and obedience. When the child follows the parents’ instructions, it shows that they’re ready to handle more. The same principle applies to our relationship with God. When we walk in obedience, He entrusts us with more—more blessings, more opportunities, and more favor with people. --- This Christmas, Trust God’s Process God delights in blessing His children, but He also desires to see us walk in obedience, trusting His plan. As we trust Him, He empowers us by His grace to trust even more deeply. And when we obey, He opens the floodgates of His anointing and favor. Here are a few key takeaways to reflect on: God’s Grace Enables Trust: We can’t trust or obey God in our strength. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live faithfully. Favor Comes Through Obedience: Just as Joseph gained favor through his faithfulness, God blesses those who walk according to His Word. Blessings Are a Circle: As God blesses us, He uses us to bless others. His favor isn’t just about us—it’s about His Kingdom. --- 🌟 A Prayer for You This Christmas This Christmas Eve, let us trust in the God who gave us the ultimate gift—His Son. Know that He desires to bless you, anoint you, and give you favor before your enemies and with others. But it begins with a heart of trust and obedience. 🎄 “Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son. Thank You for Your Spirit, who empowers us to trust and obey You. This Christmas, we surrender to Your will, knowing that You are faithful to bless us and use us for Your glory. May Your favor rest upon us, so we can be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” This Christmas, trust God with all your heart and know that He is enabling you by His grace to trust Him more. Step into the circle of divine favor and walk boldly into the blessings He has prepared for you. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ #DivineFavor #TrustGod #ChristmasBlessings #ImpactFamily #JackHakimian #GlobalPresence
I Received A Revelation This Christmas Eve On How God Wants To Trust Us
Why Are So Many Christians Restless & Discontent? In John 15, Jesus calls us to abide in Him. Yet, many Christians lose intimacy with God by neglecting to spend time with Him daily and throughout the day. Without abiding, restlessness and dissatisfaction creep in. 🕊️ Romans 8:5 teaches us that walking in the Spirit vs. the flesh starts with our mindset. By faith, we can choose to focus on the desires of the Spirit and surrender our thoughts to God. 🙏 But what is intimacy with God? It’s a deep connection where you know His heart and align with His will. Intimacy provides peace, direction, and strength in every area of life. 🌿 We need intimacy with God to thrive spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. It’s cultivated by setting aside time for prayer, worship, and being conscious of the Holy Spirit throughout the day. It’s about relationship—not ritual. ❤️ Stop making excuses and prioritize intimacy with God today. Your peace and joy depend on it. Start abiding, walk in the Spirit, and watch God transform your life. ✨ #AbideInHim #WalkInTheSpirit #IntimacyWithGod #Faith #jackhakimian #jackhakimianpodcast Learn more https://jackhakimian.com
