Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 28, 2022

When the enemy attacks it is with the intention to damage our faith, bring fear and to make us feel useless to be used by God. Whenever we are attacked by the enemy, we need to realize Jesus is with us to strengthen us and intercede for us.

Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022

There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more
