Bible Question (short): Can someone explain God's favor to me? |
Question (full): Ok, so a few weeks ago at a church I just started going to, the pastor called people up to the front who wanted prayer, and I went up. A person came to each of us individually, put oil on our heads (first time for me), and they prayed for us. But when the guy got to me, he said "I don't mean to prophesize over you, but God has put a question on my heart about you. Do you feel you have a calliing on your heart?" I said "yes sir" He said "I can see you have found favor in God, and by His special grace you will accomplish your calling." I'm kind of a new christian, so could anyone explain to me exactly what the favor of God is, and how one would get it, cause I admit I don't seee how He could have it for me. Also a side question, is special grace actually special, or just regular grace. |
