This Is My Season For Grace & Favor

By Getties L. Jackson, Sr

If you are discouraged and feel that your season for grace and favor will never happen, don't give up. It's always too soon to quit. Faith is living like it is so because God says so. To see your season of grace and favor come to pass, you have to spend time with Him. The Holy Spirit is working behind the scene, pulling things together and making sure things will come out right. He is also preparing other people. People you've never met before. People you have never dreamed you would meet. Even though your season of Grace and Favor seems to be slow, it will manifest, but you need to wait. Grace also brings about change in your life for the good, because God is working it for your good.

DEDICATION

Giving thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for without Him, I can do nothing. I am reminded daily of my life verse in Philippians 1:6 that I am confident that He that began a good work in me shall perform it until the day He returns. Thank you, Lord, for your unmerited favor.

I dedicate this book to the bone-of-my-bone, flesh-of-my-flesh, Pastor Anita Jackson who has been by my side throughout twenty eight years of ministry and twenty five years of pastoring. Pastor Anita is the mother of my children: Getties, Jr., Angelica, and Crystal. I thank God for the awesome job my wife has done speaking life into them. Even now, she continues to speak into their lives and call forth what God has placed inside of them. I also thank God for my grandsons, Edward Jay Lee Hill and Caden Nathaniel Fleming. The legacy continues!

This dedication could not be complete without thanking the Lord for my parents, Mr. Bobby Lee Jackson and Elder Mamie Lee Jackson who are at home now with the Heavenly Father. I also thank Pastor Anita’s parents, Elder Rudy Frye and Mrs. Patricia Frye who have always been more than in-laws to me. They have been parents and family to me. What a blessing in my life! To my grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. James & Annie Tanner, I don't have the words to express the impact and influence you have had on my life. Thank you! To my brothers and sisters and my extended family, thank you.

To the Kingdom Assembly Outreach Center Family, thank you for your love, support, and prayers. I continue to believe that I pastor the greatest body of believers! I cannot begin to name all who God has placed in my life, even for a season; however, know that you have all had a major part in this great work that God is doing in and through me.

This book would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of those who assisted with the typing, editing and formatting. First and foremost, to my daughter, Mrs. Angelica Jackson Hill who worked tirelessly on the manuscript. To Elder Carol McCain and Elder Sharon Davis who provided editing and proofreading. To Elder Leroy Locklear who helped guide me in the direction for publishing my first book. To Kandace Wilson who designed my book cover. There are many more books that God has placed inside of me.

To those who read and buy This is My Season for Grace and Favor, I want to thank you for your support. I pray that you are encouraged and take the principles outlined and apply them to your life.

You will never soar as God has created you to until you submit to authority. The Apostle Paul writes For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel (1 Corinthians 4:15). With that being said, thank you to my spiritual father and covering, Bishop Dale C. Bronner, to whom I submitted to on May 2, 2014. My life has catapulted to another level because it's not who you are over but who you are under that makes the difference.

APPRECIATIONS

This book is dedicated to the following people: my wife, Anita, without you my life would be empty; my two daughters, Angelica and Crystal, you are everything a dad would ever want in his daughters; my son, Getties Jr., I love you, Son; to my grandsons, Edward Jay Lee and Caden, you filled a void in my life that exceeded expectations!; and to my son-in-law, Scott, I love you, Son.

May the principles and lessons in this book be a part of the legacy that I leave behind for all of you.

About the Author

FORWARD

Your mindset is about to be impacted! You are about to be changed into a better situation. A poverty mindset is not just one that is devoid of money. It is void of understanding how the future is determined by a present seed! Brace yourself for seeds of change to be imparted into your heart that unveil your future!

Undoubtedly, God is shifting us into a new season of life and blessings! Life is comprised of many seasons. Some seasons are like Winter, they are tough. Winter is a cold season where trees and vines are bare and where few things grow. Some winters are economic winters where you experience financial hardships. Some are physical winters where you deal with health issues. Some are personal winters where you encounter loneliness or failed relationships.

Yet, Spring is a time to take advantage of new opportunities that follow difficulty. Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. So you must learn to SEE opportunities and SEIZE them! Spring is a time of expansion. It is the time to plant seed. Either we become good at planting in the Spring, or we learn how to beg in the Fall.

Summer is a time to take care of what has been produced in the Spring. Part of succeeding is learning to protect what God has entrusted into your stewardship. Why do you need to protect your harvest? Because there is a snake in every garden, a talking snake! Wherever there is value, you must take measures to secure and protect.

Fall is a time to take responsibility. Fall is the season you reap the results of your Spring and your Summer! This is a new season of blessings and prosperity! Thank God for this insightful and encouraging book that Bishop Jackson has written! It will lead you into recognizing the grace and favor that God has already provided for you! God loves you. He is your Father. He delights in giving good things to His children. He reminds us in Psalm 35:27 that He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Many of you have sown many wonderful seeds, and you’ve wondered when your harvest is coming. Well, there is good news! This is your season for grace and favor! Favor is better than money! Grace and favor bless your relationships, your health, your finances, your dream, and everything that pertains to your life! Get ready to be awakened to what God has provided.

It is time now to discover the joys of this new season into which you have entered! As you know the truth, it will make you free! Get ready to be blessed beyond measure!
