How to Get in the Flow of God's Favor | Dr. Jerry Savelle | Part 1

bring in brother Jerry for two services this is a big deal amen this is a very very big deal and I want to treat it with the honor that it's to do so I'm going to humbly ask you to stand and welcome the man of God Dr Jerry Savelle thank you Pastor thank you sir love you thank you good morning everybody good to see you again praise God you can be seated and I'll just put this right here out of the way all right praise God I love the song We sang a few moments ago about the goodness of God that is my testimony I don't know why I'm his favorite child I just am I don't I don't know but you should feel that way as well God has been so good to me and I will never cease to give him praise and thanksgiving for it I love him and I am so honored to be his child and to be his servant and it's a great joy to be able to come and and all over the world be able to bring God's word to people give them hope Inspire them to don't quit never give up praise God God's on your side if God before you who can successfully be against you amen praise God I have my grandson with me today one of my grandsons this is Brent Brynn stand up and give him a good welcome amen and it's always a joy to have a family member with me and joining me in traveling in various places and Brent is uh 17 he's still in school but he's also about to come to work at the ministry and be in training and and I'm looking forward to what God has in store for him praise God amen a number of days ago a few days ago rather oh by the way before I get started Kenny stand up Kenny cable uh is one of our Bible school graduates as well and and his wife is my personal secretary and what a great job she does and Kenny thanks for coming praise God a few days ago uh Carol and I were in Missouri and when we got home we had gone up there for just a few days of just rest and relaxation and and we wanted to see that Jesus production that was showing at one of the theaters and it was amazing we thoroughly enjoyed it and then when we got through with the business that we were doing there along with the vacation time we came home and I was getting ready to go on tour again and I went down to my river house uh that's on the Brazos River and that's where I go every time I come home from a meeting and get ready to take my next meeting it's where I really get rested is where God hangs out Hallelujah and he's always waiting for me to show up there praise God and so I went down to the river uh the river's right behind our house and the last time I was down there it was really low and we hadn't had rain in quite a while but since I had been gone we got several days of rain so I wanted to see if the river had come back up and it had come up a little bit so I just sat on the dock there and just enjoyed watching the world go by and enjoyed just the peaceful atmosphere and I got to watching the flow of that River just flowing flowing flowing flowing the Brazos starts way up there and it goes a long ways and I got interested in watching the flow of that River and it's always flowing but for some reason it got my attention more so than in the past and as I was watching it I heard the Lord say and I was scheduled to preach in our church the next day and he said when you when you get to the service tomorrow talk to the people about how to get in the flow of my blessings how to get in the flow of my blessings there is a flow amen a lot of people only experience the blessing of God from time to time you can get in a flow praise God where it's happening to you all the time amen happening to you all the time and you can get to the place to where you expect it to happen all the time amen I get up every morning expecting the favor of God to manifest in my life expecting the blessings of God to show up in some way I expect it somebody said well why do you expect it because God's been doing it for me for 53 years and I don't think he's going to stop now and praise God somebody said yeah but these are difficult times that's when it's more important to expect it praise God I'm having the time of my life right now in fact during this pandemic that we have been going through for the last couple of years we broke all records in the ministry we we experienced greater Financial breakthroughs than ever before in the history of the ministry we accomplished more than ever before and we didn't slow down a bit in fact I didn't get to travel in 2020 from March until August and I'm a traveling preacher and most traveling Ministries depend on the offerings they receive you know while they're traveling and so I I was not able to go anywhere outside of Fort Worth uh from March until August my last meeting in March of 2020 was in Denver Colorado I was there for the weekend and as soon as I got out of that service Sunday night got in the airplane and flew home in the next day this all broke the covet and everything shut down and we weren't able to travel I had to cancel all of my meetings around America in fact I was scheduled to leave in just a couple of weeks after I got back from Denver to to a tour all over Europe Ireland Scotland England France had to cancel all of that and about six weeks after that I was scheduled to be all over Africa Kenya Nigeria various places all over South Africa all over Africa had to cancel all of that the only thing that I did in the way of of meetings was I went across town to brother Copeland's office and we did virtual Victory campaigns together but we did them in Fort Worth and we're going to only have about 10 people in the auditorium everything shut down but Hallelujah it didn't affect us in the list in fact we broke records financially that that had been established for 50 some odd years broke records all that year the following year broke all those records this year breaking all those records praise God why because I expect the blessings of God and I expect the favor of God to be on me around me surround me and manifest in my behalf every day of my life and consequently they are doing it Hallelujah and you can expect the same thing amen now I am God's favorite child but you do come a second close a close second rather no he's no respecter of persons he loves you just as much as he loves me the only difference between me and perhaps some of you maybe I know a little bit more about it but you can get to that place just continue in the word amen continue in the word and you'll get to the place to where you too will expect the favor of God and the blessing of God to show up in your life every day amen bring me that book on the favor just that one book recently I wrote this book of it's one of my newest books and I learned this 52 years ago when the Lord began to teach me about how to walk in his favor and he said to me that if you will continue to decree the favor of God on your life every day then there will come a time when it will manifest in your life every day amen the Bible says Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established and that word established in the literal Hebrew means if you say it enough times eventually it'll become a common occurrence in your life see I don't just say it once I say it all the time and then he said this to me he said and you will begin to expect the favor of God to show up every day and when it does no matter what the situation was whether it's a major situation or it's just something like getting a front row parking place at the mall come on and you didn't have to walk them out stop right then and say out loud no matter who's around you say out loud hey that's the favor of God and he said The more you do that the more you'll expect it and the more you expect it the more you'll see it and the more you see it the more it'll happen Hallelujah somebody give the Lord a shout if you believe it amen so I've written a number of books over the years about the favor of God how to walk in and how to live in it how to experience it but this is my newest one and I just simply entitled it hey that's the favor of God that's the favor of God you know uh I get tickled a lot of times where where I say that and people don't understand what I'm doing they don't understand what I'm talking about I remember one time I was in uh joburg South Africa and I had to get back home earlier than I had planned I still had a few days scheduled on that trip but I had to I had to come home because of a situation back home with one of my relatives and they needed me so I went to the airport and I already had scheduled a flight to get back home but it wasn't until several days later so I went to the airport to see if I could get on a flight right away and my driver who's my International director in Africa I told him on the way over there I said in the natural I know it's not likely I'll be able to get on the flight back to London and then a flight from London back to DFW I know in the natural that's not likely however I have the favor of God he said I knew he was going to say that and so we got over to the airport went up to the to the counter and told the lady what I needed and she said well sir I'm sorry there's there's there's not any seats available on the flight back to London and I said but you don't understand I have the favor of God she said no I don't understand that I said well it doesn't matter if you understand it or not I understand it and about that time another lady came out from a door behind the counter came out and she looked up at me and she said Hey brother Jerry I said hey how are you she said I've been coming to your meetings in South Africa for years and years and she said uh I learned how to walk in the favor of God listening to you I said yes ma'am that's that's my signature message I preach it all over the world and she said what can I help you with I said well I've got to get home earlier than I had originally planned and I'm I'm believing for a flight to London and then a seat on the flight from London on into DFW she said well let me look here she said well there's not any seats available but I'll be right back and she went back in that through that door that she came out of and she came back in a little while and she said with the bulkhead be okay for you I said that's my favorite seat she said the aisle I said that's especially my favorite seed she said well we had one of our employees one of our Executives that was in that seat and he decided to go another time and I just called him and found out that you can have his seat and I looked at the other lady I said that's the favor of God and I looked at my my director and he said I knew that was going to happen he said it beats anything I've ever seen every time I've been around you the favor of God shows up well I expect it and it's not because I'm so good it's because he's so good amen he's so good isn't that what we sing about this morning he is so good look at your neighbor and say he is so good and I'm entitled to his favor and give him a shout in advance praise God amen so as I'm watching that River flow the Lord said tell them how to get in the flow how to get in the flow of God's blessings and God's favor now with that in mind let's go first of all to the book of Psalm psalm 5. psalm 5. and we're going to be talking about this this morning and we'll continue on it tonight so if at all possible this Pastor said be here Psalm 5 and look at verse 12. for thou Lord will bless the righteous with favor wilt thou Compass him as with a shield notice the Lord will bless the righteous how many of you in here know that you are the righteousness of God all because of what Jesus did at Calvary he who knew no sin was made to be sin that we might be made the righteousness of God so notice God blesses the righteous and then it says and with favor will he accomplish him as with a shield and that word Compass means surround in other words God will bless the righteous and he will surround them with favor say that with me God will bless me and Surround Me with favor now what other evidence do you need amen what other evidence do you need that you're entitled to the blessings of God and to the favor of God and the Bible says here it will surround you that means it goes everywhere you go amen it that means it will manifest in the good times and it'll manifest in the bad times Hallelujah that means when everybody else is pulling their hair out trying to figure out what to do you can count on the favor of God showing up amen another time I was down in zululand in South Africa and I was I was preaching there and after the service uh we went into the Zulu Village and we met the chief and we went into his Hut and so I'm sitting on the floor just on the ground in this mud hut with this Zulu Chief and I had an interpreter because he couldn't speak English I couldn't speak Zulu okay and so uh when I walked in he said where did you get your power I said from the Holy Spirit I Through The Interpreter I said through the Holy Spirit then I asked him because he was also a witch doctor I said where did you get your power he said from evil spirits and he said but your power is greater than my power I noticed it when you walked in and he said tell me about your God and so I began to minister to dream led him to the Lord amen I mean just had a wonderful wonderful time right there sitting in the Floor of this mud hut and then he got up and he walked over to a corner and it's dark in there I can only see my hand in front of my face and he walked over to a corner and got a ceremonial spear that had been handed down from his father from his father and from his father I mean we're talking about Generations and the spirit was used back a long time ago when when they would enter into another Village they'd hold up that Spear and it represented Authority and so he walked over and got that Spear and said this is my gift to you I mean this was this was a valuable seed it's been passed down from generation to generation and he said this is my gift to you and by the way today we have a Bible School in that Village praise God and so uh he gives me the spear and now I've got to I've got to leave uh I was down near Cape Town I've got to get on a flight from Cape Town back to joburg and from joburg back to London and from London back to DFW okay so I walk in the airport in Cape Town with my briefcase got my luggage checked in and my spirit and the lady said sir you can't carry that spear on board I said no ma'am you don't understand this is a very valuable Spirit she said it's a weapon I said not for me it's it's it's it's it's just a valuable uh historical gift that was given to me she said well sir you can't carry that on board I said I'll put it overhead and I promise I won't take it down she said I'm sorry you can't take it aboard on board well I look back at my directorate I said looks like an opportunity for favor to kick in I know more and got that out of my mouth and a man walked up and tapped me on the shoulder and said what flat are you trying to get on I said from Cape Town to joburg and from joburg to London and from London to DFW he said well I'm the captain on this flight that's going to joburg give me your Spear and I'll put it in the cockpit amen so my spirit I had a first class seat but my spirit had a better seat than I did he was up in the cockpit and then he came out in flight and he said now what flight are you on out of joburg and I told him he said uh the captain on that flight is a friend of mine and when we get when we land in joburg I'll tell him to put your spear in the cockpit on his flight my spirit rode from Cape Town to to joburg from joburg to London and then when I got to London he said the captain on that flight said what flight are you on back to DFW I said it's a it's a an American Airlines flight and I gave him the flight number he said I have a friend that flies for American let me call him and see if we can get that spear in the cockpit for you on the way to DFW my spear rolled all the way in the cockpit from Cape Town to DFW and you don't call that the favor of God amen somebody said that was just a coincidence well if it is they happen to me all the time they happened to me all the time amen why because first of all I'm a Believer I believe the Bible I I have this attitude and I said it to God shortly after I came the Lord in 1969. and I didn't know anything I I'd heard John 3 16 as a kid I don't I don't know that I ever heard anything and I don't remember my pastor ever mentioning the favor of God I never heard it I don't even remember him talking about the blessing of God that much in fact if anybody in our church sneezed that's the only time we ever heard God bless you I don't know what the connection is to that but that's about the only time I ever heard the word bless so I didn't learn it as a boy in a little Baptist Church okay but after I came to the Lord in 1969 that's the first thing the Lord began to teach me and he said this to me you've heard me say it before but it's my sermon I want to hear myself say it again he said to me when I was three months old in the Lord he said there will come a day that you will walk in my favor to such a level that your name will be known around the world for the favor of God that's on your life and Ministry and I'll hold you responsible for teaching others how to walk in it as you do now I wrote that in my journal because the Lord told me Journal everything I say to you so I have 53 years of journals in my archives and and uh there those words now I'm only three months on the Lord I never even told my wife about it and I certainly didn't go to church next Sunday and say guess what my name will be known around the world for the favor of God I never told a soul I just watched it begin to happen and today that's exactly what has happened I'm known all over the world for the favor of God that is on my life in fact many many places around the world when they introduce me they don't call me brother Jerry Dr Jerry Dr Savelle Dr favor Mr favor brother favor in fact Gloria Copeland told me years ago Jerry I've never met anybody in my life that experiences more the favor of God than you do well it's because God taught me how to walk in it how to expect it how to depend upon it and that's become my signature message and I've taught it to people all over the world amen and I tell people they can expect to walk in it in the same level that I do but it's not going to just happen automatically amen it takes you continually feeding your spirit on the word of God because Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word and just like you can develop faith in the power of God and develop faith in the love of God you can develop faith in the favor of God can you say Amen Hallelujah so once again the favor of God how do you get in the flow how do you get in the flow of of the favor of God manifesting your life all the time every day of your life in some way and and and like I said I don't care what it is if it's nothing more than just uh you know going to a restaurant you get ready for the bill and the waiter says somebody paid for your meal I say right there in his presence I don't care if he understands it or not hey that's the favor of God a lot of times I hear this whatever I've had people say whatever in fact some people say who do you know I said God well why is all this happening to you favor whatever yeah whatever Hallelujah I love it amen I love walking in the favor of God I love experiencing the favor of God in fact I never get tired of it Hallelujah and I believe praise God if you will focus on it more and develop your faith in it you're going to see it happening in your life more and what better time for you to experience the favor of God than in times like these favor will open doors that no man can shut favor will change rules and regulations and policies amen favor will cause you to experience what other people can only dream of favor is even more powerful than seniority favor can get you a job but nobody's getting a job favor can cause you to have a raise when nobody's getting raises I get testimonies in our offices all the time of people who have learned how to walk in the favor of God and the testimonies are just astounding of what God is doing in times like these when most people are crying out worse the times worse the times praise God we can have our best of times Give the Lord a shout if you believe it amen so we're we're talking about how to get in the flow of God's blessings and God's favor now go with me to Psalm 27 for a moment psalm 27. and look at verse 13. I had fainted unless I believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living another translation Amplified Bible says it this way what would have happened to me had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness what would have happened to me I think about that a lot what what I be doing today if I had not experienced the goodness and the favor of God where would I be today I certainly wouldn't be where I am today when I first began to learn this back in 1969 Carol and I married in 1966 and by the time 69 had come our marriage was hanging on by a threat we were two little short sticks of dynamite with very very short fuses the only way you could tell who won an argument was the last one standing she was serving God and I serving Jerry and she lived for God and I live for me and she was constantly trying to get me to surrender my life to the Lord and she would set me up all the time you know back in those early days uh preachers didn't stay in hotels they stayed in people's homes and my mother and father-in-law were the family or the the couple that their pastor always asked for the guest speaker to stay in their home and consequently they lived next door to me and Carolyn which meant I had to go meet him when I didn't want to meet him Carolyn say the past the preacher is staying at Mom and Dad's home I said wonderful I want you to go meet him I don't want to meet him why not I said I'm tired of meeting preachers I said why don't they get a real job quit mooching off people that's what I thought of preachers because I knew my father-in-law he he was a giver he loved the Lord and he was always an easy touch for preachers they give him a sad story you know we don't know what we're going to do if the Lord don't intervene and Olin would start shelling out money and I'd ask him ask my wife why do we have to feed the preacher when he's staying in your mom and dad's house I'd come home from A Hard Day's Work in my paint and body shop Bondo dust from head to toe grease all over me and some fat preachers eating my chicken and by the time I got there and the only thing left was a gizzard yeah I thought why does he get all the best pieces tell her send him send him back to your mama's house we're not supposed to be his host now that was Jerry Savelle BC before Christ okay and Carolyn was always trying to get me to go to some meeting with her oh I got so tired of going to meetings and finally I told her I said Carolyn I'm not going anymore all them preachers are just alike they're bald and Squall for money tell us those sad tear-jerking stories and then your daddy will shell out money to them I said I don't want to hear another one and that was my attitude by February of 1969. and I I wouldn't go gonna go hear another one the last one I heard before that her mom and her begged me and Carolyn's Uncle who was a detective on the police force in Shreveport Louisiana and we were the two holdouts and They begged us to go to this meeting at the Municipal Auditorium with some preacher we didn't want to go but they begged us and They begged us and they said please go this preacher is amazing so we went we're setting up there and this preacher he pulled out a guitar case he took a guitar out of it and he laid the case at his feet and he started playing the guy couldn't play and he couldn't sing and that made it even worse and Stanley and I looked at each other and thought why in the world did we come and then he had this old twangy voice singing These tear jerkings supposedly gospel songs I thought the gospel was good news father alone will understand it better and all that kind of stuff you know and and Stanley are are just fidgeting we want out of there as quick as we can and finally he stopped singing I would have paid him to start singing he stopped singing and he said the Lord just told me not to sing another song Until You film a guitar case up with offerings Stan and I looked at each other and both of us said I'd pay him I'd fill out guitar case up for him to stop singing well about that time when he said that Stanley looked at me and he said he's a con I said yes he is I turned to my wife and I said Karen I'm not staying here this guy's a con he's a con she said oh don't say that and her mother said what do you got what are you talking about I said he's a con she said don't say that God's liable to strike you dead with lightning ever heard that before and Stanley said well let him strike I'm out of here I said Mary your brother is a detective on the police force he's trained to spot cons that's one oh don't say that don't say that we got up and walked out and I said I'm never going back well I'm I'm not pleased to say this but eventually that that preacher wound up in prison because he was a con okay so that was my attitude about God and about preachers and about church so I I quit going and it was not a happy house with Carolyn living for God and me going my direction we were two people under the same roof going two different directions and then one day I come home from my shop Carolyn said we got one more service tonight this preacher is a preacher like I have never heard before and if you'll go tonight and you don't like him I will never ask you to go again I said you promise I said that's the deal I've been waiting on she said I promise if you don't like this preacher I'll net rescue to go again I said okay I'm going and as I was walking down the hall I turned around I said and I don't I already don't like him she said you hadn't even heard him yet I said yeah but I know he's not like all the others and I don't like him already she said well just come and listen so uh we we headed to church and you've heard me tell this but on the way over there I said now who is this preacher you want me to hear she said Kenneth Copeland I said Kenneth Copeland Kenneth Copeland I kept saying that to myself Kenneth Copeland Kenneth Copeland Kenneth Copeland I said I know who that is she said how would you know who Kenneth Copeland is you don't go to church I said well back in 1957 there was a man on the radio who had a hit song is in the top 20 called the pledge of love and his name was Kenneth Copeland he said it's not the same man I said well have you asked him she said no I said well I'm going for two reasons tonight number one if I don't like him I'll never have to go again number two if I'm still there when he finishes preaching I'm going to ask him if he's the same man I'd like to be right one time are there any other husbands in here like to be right one don't lift your hand your wife's looking so we got over there and they finally turned the service over to Kenneth Copeland and uh he he started his sermon and he and he told us what he was going to preach I still have that reel-to-reel tape first sermon I ever heard him preach he called it the word of faith and about 15 minutes into his sermon he just stopped and said I don't know why I'm saying this has absolutely nothing to do with my message but I guess somebody in here needs to hear it in 1957 I had a hit record on the radio called the pledge of love I was headed for rock and roll stardom Dick Clark has set up a tour for every one of us who had a song in the top 20. Little Richard Fats Domino we were all going on tour and I got drafted and uh and while they were all on tour and and becoming famous for their song by the time I got out nobody remembered me and nobody remembered my song Not only that my mama was Prince she knew I was called to preach so I don't know who needed to hear that but let's get back to the message it was for me it was for me God used that to get me on the edge of my chair listening to every word come out of his mouth and it changed my life that night that night changed my life amen changed my life now several months later I've managed to shut my business down and begin to prepare for full-time Ministry and a lady brought over all the messages that brother Copeland preached that week on reel-to-reel tapes she said Jerry if you'll listen to these they'll change your life so I began listening to him and I couldn't get enough I listened to him day and night day and night I'd shut my business down I was in my guest bedroom six o'clock every morning until many times midnight and past listening to those messages and the next time brother Copeland came about nine months later for a second visit I'm now front row Christian I can hardly wait and he had an accident in his car on the way over there wiped out the whole left side of this brand new Pontiac Bonneville and asked if I could repair it while he was there so I didn't get to go to his day services but I went to night services and one day he came over to watch me and he's standing there with his arms like this just looking at me I'm down grinding a quarter panel and I thought man I got 9 000 questions I'd like to ask him I finally put the grinder down I said can I ask you some questions he said sure so he talked to me about faith talk to him about how to develop my faith how to activate my faith oh it was wonderful he was very gracious then he said I've got to go get ready for tonight will you be there tonight I said yes sir I will and so we got into the service that night and just like the very first time I heard him 15 minutes into his sermon he stopped and said Jerry stand up I stood up he said God showed me today in prayer that you and I will be a team we're going to spend the rest of our lives together preaching the word of God all over the world and it'd be your responsibility to believe God for the perfect timing for the team to begin set out then he went back with his sermon I was so young in the Lord you know to me back then Carolyn and the Holy Ghost were one in the same she had she had to help interpret everything to me you know and I turned to my wife and I said what did all that mean he said I think we're moving to Fort Worth Texas I said why she said he said you're going to be a team going to preach the word together for the rest of your lives all over the world I thought wow and that was my first experience with the favor of God the favor of God amen amen and little did I know at that time that Kenneth Copeland had been trained by Oral Roberts he worked with Oral Roberts on his white crew and he worked in his Crusades when he came to the Lord and it was Oral Roberts that I listened to in 1957 when I heard the call of God but had been running from it all those years and now it looks like God is connecting the dots it's amazing when God is connecting the dots amen you know he's working behind the scenes even when we don't even realize it God uses Kenneth Copeland to get my attention and then bring me back to what I heard watching Oral Roberts as a 11 year old boy in 1957. and little did I know now how many of you how many of you can imagine how many 11 year old boys watched Oral Roberts in those big tent Crusades in 1957. how many of them do you think wound up working with him how many of you how many of them do you think served on his board how many of you think you know how many of them wound up with him and his wife darling wife Evelyn in your home and becoming very close friends the I call that the favor of God I said I call that the favor of God and then I began to experience favor everywhere I went and now I'm in a flow and this is the best time to be in the flow when it looks like the world's falling apart this is the time to get in the flow of the favor of God look at your neighbor and say are you listening this sermon is for you amen so notice I'm answering the question that David asked what would have happened to me had I not believed to see the goodness of God now another word for goodness that is synonymous with goodness is favor what would have happened to me had I not believed to see the favor of God I certainly wouldn't be where I am today I certainly wouldn't have what I have today I certainly wouldn't be flying when I fly today I wouldn't be driving what I drive today I wouldn't be living in what I live in today I attribute everything I have from the socks on my feet to the airplane I fly to the favor of God to the goodness of God to the blessing of God amen come on help me give the Lord a good shout of praise amen living in the favor of God is my testimony it's my testimony Jerry Savelle would not be the jury Savile that you know today if it hadn't been for the favor of God that's why I call I I can't stop talking about it I can't stop teaching about it I can't stop preaching about it amen the favor of God bring me that other series there that Brent this is just a small portion of books I've written on the favor of God now I don't mean to sound braggadocious but I don't think there's been another preacher in my generation that has preached more sermons written more books and produce more resources on the favor of God than I have because I'm held responsible for it brother Hagin if you remember brother Hagin his his responsibility was teach my people faith and he did all the years of his ministry Oral Roberts his his responsibility was take healing to your generation brother Copeland's signature message is teaching people how to function and operate in the laws God's laws of prosperity Billy Graham everything Billy Graham preached centered on decision making a decision for Christ every sermon I preach favor is going to get in there somewhere why is what I'm held responsible for and so we put these these package together our publication Department put it together to help people learn how to walk in the favor of God and how to expect the favor of God particularly in times like this folks you need to get in the flow you need to get in the flow look your name and say you need to get in the flow boy that was weak say it again you need to get in the flow Hallelujah it can happen to you it can happen to you it can happen to you amen think about the many times in the past that God's favor has brought you through a situation now a lot of people mistake it for luck I hear that all the time Jerry Seville you're the luckiest man I ever met it is not luck folks I don't believe in luck it's the favor of God it's the favor of God the the airplane that we fly today uh I believe God for that airplane for 20 years it it I've owned airplanes ever since I've been in the ministry but none of them would take me internationally and I I have offices in other nations I've preached in 49 different nations around the world and I have an Apostolic calling I plant churches I plant Bible schools I plant uh orphanages we've built medical facilities and I I have to have something that I can depend upon today to get me to the world and commercial airlines are not that much Dependable anymore thank you for your enthusiasm I can see the most of you don't fly much no you can't depend on them anymore amen I mean I've had to go pick up my daughter Terry from meetings where she flew commercials somewhere and they canceled the flights and she had to wait another three days to get back home Daddy can you come get me of course I can come get you that's what it's for praise God amen but I believe God for this airplane for 20 years I sowed seed for it for 20 years amen every airplane I've ever owned was debt free God told me when I first started you will not be able to fulfill what I've called you to do without airplanes in your ministry and he said and I don't want you borrowing money for him believe for them debt free and he told me that when I was paying notes on everything I had notes on my car notes on my house notes on the refrigerator I think we had three more payments on the Broom everything we were in debt and God says believe for airplanes debt free are you kidding me Air Aviation wrote the book on expensive it's one thing to hone an airplane it's something else for the upkeep I tell preachers that are believing for airplane don't just believe for the airplane believe for the money to keep it up first class you know when we're flying around in something that that can wind up costing you a life amen so 20 years I believe for this airplane in 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic I get a call from one of my partners he said bro Jeremy I don't know anything about airplanes but I've heard your talk about a Falcon 50 many times that you're believing for for your International Ministry I said yes he said well I found out there's one in San Marcos that's been in a hangar for several months now and I don't know if it's for sale or not but I just thought I'd call you and tell you you might want to check on it and see if it's available so I called my chief pilot and I said uh Brad see if you can find out if there's a Falcon 50 in a hangar in San Marcos and call me back he called and he said yes there is a Falcon 50 in San Marcos it's been sitting in a hangar now for five months and it's for sale I said let's go down there tomorrow and and check on it so we went down there and the broker brought the plane out of the hangar and so we climbed up in the in the plane they broke a road and they were with us I said Brad you get up in the cockpit and pray in the spirit and I'm gonna walk around back here in the cabin and pray in the spirit if you get anything from God tell me if I get anything from God I'll tell you I said ask the broker to step outside and shut the door while we pray so he stepped outside we shut the door Brad got in the cockpit and I'm walking around back in the cabin praying in the spirit just praying in the spirit all of a sudden the joy of the Lord hit me I mean the joy of the Lord came on me big time I'm shouting I'm jumping I'm praising God and I heard it hit Brad up in the cockpit I said Brad get back here he come back there and I said Brad this is my airplane he said I know it is I said where does Joy come from he said it's a fruit of the spirit I said this is my airplane get that broker back up here and tell him this is my airplane the only problem is I don't have a dime for a falcon 50. but I know it's my airplane amen you know when you know you know then God takes care of the rest Hallelujah and and so the Lord said as bread is getting the broker back up the Lord said to me tell him you'll pay him what he's asking for it don't bargain with him I said Lord that's not the way we do business down here you never you never offer what they're asking for an airplane it's negotiable he said do what I said don't bargain with him don't negotiate with him tell him you'll pay him what he's asking for it and then he said this and I'll make it up to you on the end well I didn't know what that meant but in obedience to God when the broker walked up there on the plane I said sir this is my airplane and I'll pay you what you're asking for it he said you don't want to negotiate I want to say yeah but God won't let me know I just that's not important to him I said no I don't want to negotiate tell the owner I'll pay him what he's asking for it come to find out the owner lives here in Houston and apparently this airplane was Falcons are built in France and this airplane spent its early part of its life in Austria and then this businessman from Houston bought it and brought it back to the U.S and then he kept it up in San Marcos for some reason but anyway uh I told him to tell the owner I'll pay what he's asking for it and so we started uh with a contract now when you buy an airplane you go through a pre-bite and that means you make sure all the inspections are current okay because legally you can't sell an airplane if you got inspections that are not current unless you sell it with as is well I'm not buying an airplane as is if the inspections are not current come to find out there were four major inspections that were past due and so we told him tell the owner he's going to have to take care of those inspections but when he does I'll pay him what he's asking for it so the owner agreed the first inspection was a quarter of a million dollars the second inspection was a hundred uh a hundred and twenty five thousand dollars the third inspection was just under a hundred thousand now so far the owner has had to invest uh four hundred thousand dollars into the airplane before he can sell it and then he said tell Mr Savelle if he wants my airplane he'll have to pay for that last inspection himself and I'll knock off a quarter of a million dollars on the asking price sound like favor to me he knocked a quarter of a million dollars off the Excavating what'd God tell me I'll make it up to you on the end favor amen favor so uh he spent four hundred thousand dollars on the airplane before I took possession of it knocked off a quarter of a million of the price original asking price that last inspection cost ninety thousand dollars I made a hundred and fifty thousand dollars and today that airplanes were three times what I paid for it go ahead and touch me Kenny yes sir it's a favor of God it's the favor of God I said it's the favor of God amen the the gentleman that maintains my aircraft who makes sure our maintenance is always up to date and and state of the art and takes care of everything he tells me every time I go to the airport he told me yesterday when I left there I do not know how in the world you got that airplane for that price I said favor he said I know you're going to say that but I still don't understand it he said I've been working in aviation all my life and I've never heard of a deal like this he said I've I've had people come here and offer you three times what you pay for that airplane I said that's how the favor of God operates so favor operating in worst of times is when you won't favor operating the most can you say Amen and folks if you get in the flow it starts happening to you all the time I don't make up these stories amen I don't make these stories up it happens I expect it and God honors it and you say Amen come on give the Lord a good shout of praise now it's it's not likely it's not likely that any of you maybe somebody in here but it's not likely that any of you need an international jet but it is likely that you have needs and your needs are just important to God as my needs amen whatever they might be it might be a car a better car that's important to God it might be a home a house that's important to God amen when you understand how to operate in the favor of God you're going to have the world's best and never have to pay the world's price that's the favor of God can you say Amen and once again when you get in the flow then praise God I'm telling you there will be people who will stop and ask you how is all this happening to you and you'll just simply say it's the favor of God amen the favor of God anybody that's ever asked me how is all this happening and I told him the favor of God they let me preach anything I want to preach to them they didn't turn me down why because people don't know where to turn today they don't know what to do they're at their wits Inn but once they get connected with God and find out that his favor is available to them praise God it's life-changing can you say Amen all right praise the Lord stand to your feet if you will I just barely scratched the service this morning but we're going to take it up here tonight and I want to encourage you if at all possible be here because I believe the best part of the whole message will be tonight amen you don't want to miss it Hallelujah praise God how many of you in here are believing for a job or a better job hold your hands up all right would you please come to the front for a moment Hallelujah the Apostle Paul made this statement in Romans chapter 1. he said I long to come to you that I might impart a spiritual gift to be able to impart something into somebody else you have to first of all have it on you have it in you so Paul says I long to come to you that I might impart or you could use the word transfer a spiritual gift and Paul talks about how that the grace of God which is another word for favor is synonymous with favor was on him in abundance he said I was the center of them all but God he said when I when I gave my life to Christ and I began to experience his grace I was that Grace came on me exceeding abundantly Hallelujah so in obedience to God I just want to lay my hands on you and I want to encourage you to believe that from this moment you're going to begin to experience the favor of God particularly where a job is concerned or a better job from the moment you leave this place I get testimonies all the time of this happening to people one young lady just wrote to me a few days ago and said you laid hands on me in a meeting in Florida I was at Rodney Howard Brown's Church laid hands on nearly 2 000 people and she wrote to me and said I needed a job that night and I now have a job that's paying me three times what I've ever made in my life praise God that was the favor of God hallelujah so I want to encourage you when you leave here today start decreeing I have the favor of God on my life and favor is going to open a door for me that no man can shut favor is going to bring a job to me or a better job and and and better benefits than I've ever experienced before can you say amen hallelujah all right are you ready would you first step up here so I don't have to come down there just come on up here and I'll just lay hands on you Hallelujah just the first row okay and then after I lay hands on you you can go back to your seat and then the second row come up make it a lot easier Hallelujah we we were under a huge canopy at Rodney's church that held over 2 000 people and they were lined up row after row after row after row after row I was ringing wet when I got through laying hands on everybody and finally the anointing God hit me such at a such a level I just took off running and just it seemed like to some of them I'm slapping him I was running so fast and I'm just touching their their heads out of their head or their face and and they're falling out on the fire of God getting up and shouting and praising God boy was it it was an amazing service now that may not happen in here today but at the same time I believe we're going to apply a spiritual law God told Moses Lay Your Hands On Joshua that something that's on you will come on him part of your honor part of your wisdom and it did Elijah and Elijah something's only logic came on Elijah amen some of his own Paul came on Timothy this is spiritual law so father in the name of Jesus as we appropriate this spiritual law we're believing in Jesus name that your favor is going to increase on each one of them and it will manifest in particular a job or a better job and a better job with better benefits in the name of Jesus no matter what their circumstances are favor overrides that we're we're depending upon the favor factor in the name of Jesus thank you Father expect to say I expect it I expect it when I lay hands on you say I expect it in the name of Jesus I expect the favor of God to manifest in my behalf in this Regard in Jesus name all right come on up the second row Hallelujah and be sure when it happens and notice I said when it happens or not if it happens be sure you testify to it give God the glory give God the praise amen father I lay my hands upon this wonderful group of people and I'm expecting an impartation of your favor to manifest in their behalf in the way of a job a better job better benefits in the name of Jesus thank you for it Lord thank you for it Lord You're the faithful God and we know you're working behind the scenes right now even while we're praying and we give you praise for it in the name of Jesus Amen and amen come on let's give the Lord a good shout of Praise Hallelujah as you go back to you your seat tells somebody along the way I receive it praise God come on up the next row father once again in the name of Jesus we're expecting a a manifestation of a spiritual impartation favor being imparted into their lives at a greater level and particularly in regard to jobs better jobs and better benefits in the name of the Lord make it happen for them Lord show them how your favor is available to them show them how the favor of God will do what man can't make happen in Jesus name thank you for it come on let's give the Lord another shout of praise hallelujah hallelujah all right is there one more row praise God hallelujah [Music] glory to God once again heavenly father I Lay My Hands on these people

particularly in the way of a job a better job a job with better benefits in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and we believe you're making it happen even as we pray you're working behind the scenes and testimonies are about to come forth in Jesus mighty name come on and give the Lord another shout hallelujah praise God praise God amen look at somebody and say I'm getting in the flow tell somebody
