Summary
Everyone wants favor—but not everyone walks in it. ET breaks down the difference between being God's favorite and actually living favored. The key? Non-negotiables. Daniel prayed three times a day even when a law said not to (Daniel 6). Ananias and Sapphira said "yes" with their mouths but negotiated the covenant with their hearts (Acts 5).
In this message, you'll learn:
- Why modifying God's instructions cancels momentum
- How to set spiritual non-negotiables (prayer, integrity, obedience)
- The trap of "I'll obey…until it costs me"
- Why favor follows alignment, not popularity or connections
If you're tired of praying without progress, this is for you. Lock in your non-negotiables, and watch God do what men can't.
👇 Drop your one non-negotiable for this week in the comments.
