warfare and the devil. Do you know that the best warfare to engage in is to magnify the Lord Jesus in your life? The Bible declares, “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered...” 11 Amen!
    Recently, I had a conversation with a medical doctor about spiritual warfare. She said to me, “When there is a condition in your body, you must know what the correct medical name for it is so that you can pray against it accurately.” Then, she told me somewhat smugly, “As someone who’s been in the army, you should know this: The most important military strategy is to know your enemy.”
    I smiled at her and said, “Actually, I believe that the most important military strategy is not to know your enemy, but to know your commander in chief and his directives for you.”
    My friend, do you know your commander in chief, Jesus Christ? Do you know with full assurance that His presence and unmerited favor is with you? Start practicing the presence of Jesus in your life today, and see what a difference He will bring to your situation!

Chapter 6” Your Right To God’s Unmerited Favor
    There is no doubt that all believers want to experience God’s unmerited favor in their lives. All of us want to experience success in our marriages, families, careers as well as ministries. We all want to enjoy God’s best and richest blessings. We want His provision, health and power flowing mightily in our lives, and we know that all these blessings are wrapped up in God’s unmerited favor. When His unmerited favor is on your side, nothing can stand against you. But if His favor is unmerited, how can we qualify for it? If we cannot earn, deserve or merit it, how can we be confident that we have His unmerited favor?
    Down through the corridors of church history, there have been many quality writings on how believers can experience the favor of God. We have been taught how to think big, be positive and to expect preferential treatment. I give thanks to God for Christian ministers and writers who are challenging believers to expect God’s favor in their lives today. I have been very blessed by such ministries that bring tremendous hope and encouragement to the body of Christ.
    We need more new covenant ministries like these all around the world, ministries that are full of the person of Jesus, exalting the cross and lifting up the finished work of Christ. We need ministries that remind believers that God is no longer angry with them because of their sins and that all their failings—past, present and even those in the future—have been perfectly nailed and judged at the cross. We have had enough of ministries that are based on the antiquated law, that represent God inaccurately as someone who is harsh and angry.
    One of the key things that I desire to do in this book is to build upon the existing teachings on favor and to give believers a firm foundation on why they have the right to God’s unmerited favor in their lives today. Do you know the answers to the following questions?
    Why can you expect good to happen to you?
    Why can you enjoy God’s unmerited favor?
    Why can you ask God for big things?
    Your Righteousness In Christ Is Your Right To God’s Unmerited Favor
    Beloved, your answers are all found on the Mount of Golgotha, the place of the skull. It’s the place where the sinless Man became sin, so that you and I can become the righteousness of God in Him. His righteousness is your right to God’s unmerited favor.
    You can expect good...
    You can enjoy God’s unmerited favor...
    You can ask God for big things...
    ...because you have been made the righteousness of God through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross!
    Don’t just take my word for it. It is important that you read and know the Scriptures for yourself:
For He [God] made Him [ Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him [ Jesus Christ].
    —2 Corinthians 5:21
    Your righteousness in Christ is the sure foundation on which
