Windows of opportunity present themselves for a period of time and it’s our training in favor that allows us to recognize and use them as an advantage for what God has prepared for us.
Esther was taken captive to be paraded before the King who was searching for a new wife. Not only did she find immense favor with him, but that favor was a precursor to step into God’s favor so that a nation could be saved.
It’s not the circumstances of our life that are the problem, it' our perception of those circumstances. It’s our CORE favor that allows us to recognize these circumstances as training opportunities.
In this episode we’re discussing:

+ Using problems as practice opportunities for favor.

Key Scriptures
+ Esther 4:14
+ 1 Corinthians 2:9
+ Ephesians 1:18
