Review
Official Definition: preferential treatment shown to somebody.
It denotes acceptance, approval and pleasure.
When you have favor, super natural, accelerated almost miraculous stuff happens.
Favor is: rason- what is pleasing; pleasure, liking
Q: How do you get more Favor
Unfortunately, favor can be reduced to expectation of things or opportunities.
There’s another dimension that I want to lift.
You need favor to work on your foes…aka enemies…aka haters!
New Material
The sheer analogy of favor being associated with a tool of weaponry should set off bells and whistles.
This same word is used elsewhere
2 chron 11.12
Here’s the question, why would you need a weapon if you weren’t going to be in a war?!
What I think the text is teaching is that in every battle, there’s an opportunity for our favor to fight.

When God gives you favor, it’s just cause He likes you.
Whenever you have favor, you didn’t do anything to earn.
But when you have favor, you tend to attract favor haters!
