Favor Vs. The Law of Attraction

Have you ever heard of the “Law of Attraction?” It’s pretty popular these days with New Age and secularists. They think the Law of Attraction is some kind of cosmic “juju” that attracts people and opportunities to you.

In reality, biblical favor is the attraction of God to you that releases influence through you, so that other people are inclined to like, trust or cooperate with you—in the assignment God gave you!
This favor isn’t “earthly”—it’s a God given supernatural force that magnetizes you! Are you ready to be a people magnet?!
So, what is the internal backdrop of this phenomenon?

  1. Motivation. What influence do you want to have? Is your intent to manipulate or to bless? You and I both know this to be true, that you can guide people into particular experiences and thoughts. You can structure the transaction to serve yourself. But that’s a far cry from what God actually does. He desires for you to move in a spirit of favor and operate from a place of wanting to bless—instead of wanting to get something from other people. Hebrews 4:12 says that “the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” No matter how shrewd you think you are, there is One who weighs our motivations. Ask yourself, “Do I have the character to sustain the influence God has given me?”
  2. Stewardship. The Lord wants to entrust increase to His people and He wants to entrust it in a way that doesn’t destroy you when you get it.  Remember that he who is faithful with little will be trusted with much—this includes your influence with those God has placed in your path (Luke 16:10). God desires for you to prosper in business and in relationships; be faithful to the calling He has set in your heart.

FAVOR IS A FORM OF CURRENCY WITH WHICH YOU CAN FORM SUPERCHARGED ALLIANCES, IF STEWARDED PROPERLY. THESE ALLIANCES GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, FASTER!
One of the greatest gifts that you could ever receive is the gift of favor and the power of supernatural attraction.
In Maximum Impact I explain the phenomena of how to walk in the supernatural favor of God in business, and how to resist the opposite spirit, which is a spirit of manipulation. This training is going to help you discover the key in the assignment God gave you.

Question: Has this post caused you to question your own motivation when it comes to influence? Is your heart in alignment with God’s heart to bless you and others?
As One!

  1. Our photography business has been slow and dry lately. I have been seeking the Lord regarding His direction. Just last week, an acquaintance I work out with at a local gym, said to me “I had a dream about you last night” I said really? She went on to say in her dream I was photographing her daughter and I told her that she should update her linked in picture. She woke up saying I have to call her and schedule an appointment. I was so excited to know that the Lord was allowing people to have dreams in our favor. As I pondered these things I wondered how many others had dreams to call and have their portraits taken. That day our phone was ringing off the hook. We could barely keep up with the calls and people even walked in off the street to make appointments! That’s God favor! How exciting!

  2. You have really helped me. I look forward to watching the whole training. In a world full of information that is not from the Word of God, the pressure is strong to conform to deceptive methods of “attraction” in one form or another. The challenge is that even Christians have fallen for the lie that you can’t win unless you use deception. But thanks for your re-assuring lesson. I’ve got my confidence back in the law of attraction. I also have a real definition, unlike before.

  3. Good morning Lance! I am very new to this world of supernatural influence – yesterday I met a new client for the first time and he spent an hour telling me about you and others like you. He was very nice and very friendly and so sure about his faith. I used to be that sure about my faith, but I’ve lost some of my confidence as life has beat me up quite a bit over the past several years. I’m finding myself today in a place that I never expected. I’ve learned that money is not really as important as I thought it was when I was younger. I’m divorced now and a single parent of an amazingly special child, who is also a challenge for me every day. Your post has caused me to question my motivation, and after thinking about it and soul-searching, I am happy to say that I believe my motivation IS to bless others every day. I work hard to teach this to my daughter, as well, but it is so difficult in the world we live in today. I never used to question myself, but I find myself questioning almost everything that I do now and living my life in fear of making mistakes and in fear of whatever is coming next. How do I break this cycle of fear? There are many ways that I feel that I’m on the right path, but how do I build-up that confidence again? My head knows that God is fully trustworthy but my heart fears being broken again and I just feel lost. Thanks.

    Lance,
    This is Excellent! It really is about how to function in integrity when God opens those doors for me/us, isn’t it? I’m very grateful for the voice God has given you in my/our lives, it is truly a directive kind of blessing. May what you pour out be multiplied back to you and Annabelle in multifaceted ways!
    Prayers for His fullness in your lives,
    Kay Mulvihill

  5. I never thought of my intentions when I’m interacting with people in the way of a manipulation or a blessing.
    wowwww ! help me God, I want to bless others.
    Thank you for sharing this heavenly approach.

  6. Awesome Lance. Calling-character And collision take place when we seek and place God first in our life.
    Since God hung the moon and stars surely he guided our path but only when we are seeking in obedience to His word and purpose. Favor is the energy that lights the wic and glows with light for all to see.
    Thank you for your insight and understanding of favor.
