Word for 2019 - Dr. Jerry Savelle

good to see you again this evening alright you can be seated praise God amen the glory of the Lord once you experience it you can't get enough of it amen his presence his power and His goodness how they do yet open your Bibles if you will to Exodus chapter 34 at the close of the service this morning I said I'd be sharing the word that the Lord has given me for 2019 and I want to challenge you right here at the beginning to lay hold upon it keep it in front of you decree it daily and believe that it will come to pass in your life praise God every year the Lord gives me a specific word that I'm instructed to take wherever I'm go regardless of what nation it is and I preach about it all year long and then about October every year the Lord begins to give me the word coming that I'll preach in that coming new year and this year the Lord said in fact I was in a service we were having back home and I was just sitting there listening to the announcements and I really didn't have 2019 on my mind and suddenly the Holy Spirit said you've been asking what's on my agenda for 2019 then he simply said and here it is and he said you tell believers everywhere you go throughout 2019 that it will be a year of Marvel's wonders extraordinary manifestations of the greatness of your God so that's when I wrote in my notes and I began studying it and I preached it first at our church back home I usually always start there preaching it and then as the Lord leads I preach it in other churches before we get into that new year and then as I said everywhere I go after that I preach it and watch God confirm it with signs following and he's no respecter persons if he'd do it for me he would do it for you he doesn't do it for me because I'm a preacher I know a lot of preachers it doesn't happen for it does it he does it for me because I'm a believer look your neighbors say I'm a believer brother Hagin used to have a say I'm a believer and not a doubter say that with me I'm a believer and not a doubter Amen alright Exodus chapter 34 and here you'll notice in verse 10 after Moses had asked the Lord show me your glory then God says to him not only will I cause all my goodness to pass before thee but in Exodus chapter 34 he says in verse 10 and he said behold I make a covenant before all that people I will do Marvel's such as have not been done in all the earth not in any nation and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord for it is a terrible thing or a tremendous thing that I will do with thee now notice he used the word covenant he said I make this covenant now this is not the covenant that we we talk about regarding old covenant new covenant there are several covenants in the Bible and when you look at the the covenant that is considered to be the old covenant it has to deal primarily with God making provision for the sin of the people and under that covenant you remember it was through the blood of bulls and goats and heifers and so forth the sprinkling of those the blood of those animals and it only covered their sins it didn't remit them it didn't do away with him that couldn't happen until Jesus came and introduced a new and better covenant praise God which you and I are under today but God made covenants with various people throughout the Bible and that all didn't pass away when the new covenant came in and so notice there he says I make a covenant that i will do Marvel's such as have not been done in all the earth and you will see it amen so notice here he says I make a covenant and what covenant with God is a solemn oath it's a pledge it's a promise and God keeps his promises in Psalm 89 34 God says my covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that comes from my lips amen so when God makes a covenant a solemn agreement then he fully intends to back it he intends to cause it to come to pass amen he's reliable he's faithful he won't ever alter what has come out of his lips he's not like people Amen people make promises and they don't keep them but God makes promises and he keeps them praise God can you say Amen so notice this is covenant with God and he says I will do marvels and such that have never been done in all the earth not in any nation now after that they began to see marvels they begin to see wonders like they had never seen before it's not that they had never seen wonders and marvels they had they saw them coming out of the the land of Egypt they saw wonders and marvels but God's talking about I'm about to do things you haven't seen and if you know you haven't seen all that God can do I haven't I've been preaching them for almost 50 years and I've seen a lot but I haven't seen all that God can do and I believe the best is yet to come hallelujah I believe he's reserved the best for this generation I'm glad to be a part of it you know I said to Oral Roberts one time brother Roberts I feel like I've been robbed he said Wham I said well I didn't get to be in your tenth Crusades I didn't get to see all of that and my parents were you know didn't know anything about your ministry and and of course I didn't know anything about it until I saw him on television in 1957 and they were televising one of his Crusades and so I'm preaching his old black and white field code television set and that's when I heard the call to preach but other than that I had I didn't even know what all Roberts existed until I saw him on television and my grandmother's home in Oklahoma City and I heard the call to preach and but that's not what I don't want to do so I ran from it hard and fast and I didn't surrender until 1969 twelve years later but then when I did I had such a quest to know God I had such a desire to be used by God and as I began to study the anointing of God and so forth I desired greatly for the anointing of God to be in my life not just so you know I'd be somebody but I began to have compassion for people that were hurting and sick and and needed the anointing because the anointing destroys the yoke can he say Amen and so it became a great quest of mine to study all those past movements revivals outpourings and I studied them all I couldn't get my hands on enough material I couldn't go to enough places I remember first time I went to the nation and wells as soon as I landed at the airport someone picked me up to take me to the hotel in the city I was staying in and they said brother Jerry would you like to do anything before you go to the hotel I said yes take me to the city where the Welsh rally revival broke out with Evan Roberts and they said well it's quite a distance here I said that's where I want to go you asked me if I want to do anything that's what I want to do and I went there to that very chapel where he walked in that building and said God I'm not leaving this Chapel until you move on my nation and he prayed and he interceded and the rest is history it broke out in that nation and it affected the entire nation and it came from there over on into the US and the Azusa Street revival broke loose and they revival in Kansas with those Bible School students broke loose and I went to that chapel I said in the very chair they said it was the chair Evan Roberts said in when he prayed that prayer or the bench actually and as I sit there and I prayed for the rest of the afternoon and I studied his life in fact before I left Wales I wanted them to take me around the city because I'd heard that revival was such a powerful event that they couldn't build enough churches to hold all the people all the bars or pubs closed down the houses of prostitution closed out people weren't sinning they's gettin saved hallelujah and they couldn't they couldn't build churches fast enough to hold all the people and as I'm driving around those cities I noticed all these old churches boarded up and they weren't being used anymore grass is growing up around them and and I thought this is strange this was such a powerful move of God and and eventually it ended and the reason it ended one of the reasons it ended is because man took over preachers took over and tried to you know do what they wanted to do instead of do what God wanted them to do but anyway that's another sermon but I came across a man he was out with a sickle mowing the grass out in front of this church his old wood frame Church and I told the driver stop the car I want to go talk to that man and so I went over to him I said sir do you know anything about the Welsh revival he said oh yes boy his eyes brightened up and he got excited and he said yes my mother and dad were saved in that meeting under Evan Roberts ministry they were close friends of brother Roberts and he said in fact I have one of brother Roberts Bibles in my home right now and have some of his sermon notes he said would you like to see them I said yes sir I would so he took me to his house his wife made me a cup of tea and we sat there and talked about that Welsh revival and he said you know you're the first person that has ever come to this city that I've met that was interested in that revival I have a lot of things to say about it but nobody seems to be interested I said well you look at it one hungry man just keep right on talking hallelujah and I couldn't get enough I couldn't get enough there were so many miracles that took place so many signs and wonders that took place and then of course in the the great healing campaigns of the late 40s and 50s early 60s of course the oil Roberts was instrumental in that and so once again I'm sitting right across small Roberts in his office I said brother Roberts I feel like I've been robbed I didn't get to be in your meetings I didn't get to see all those great miracles that took place and he said well we have it all on film down in the archives we have it on 16 millimeter film anytime you'd like to come and watch any of those old Crusades I'd be happy to have a are you student go down to the archives turn on the projector and you can watch as many of those old Crusades as you want to I said when he said whenever you want to I said how about right now he said okay so he called a student took me down to the archives and I sit there and watched those films those great healing campaigns miracles signs and wonders and I cried like a baby and as soon as it was over I said play another one and they turned on another crusade and I watched it and I said turn on another one and they turned on another one and by that time brother Roberts came down he said are you still here I said yes sir he said you are a hungry man aren't you I said can I do it again he said when I said tomorrow and he said was sure I spent the whole day there the next day and finally brother Robert said I've never seen anybody there so hungry he said I'll do you something better so you don't have to wind up moving into our archives he said I'm gonna have all those old films downloaded on video and you can take them home with you and then you can just watch him all the time as many times as you want so I have a collection of all those old not all of them but a good collection of those old Roberts Crusades and sometimes I just spend the day watching them this the anointing of God is still just as strong on him today as they were back there in 1948 1950 to 1901 ever amen amen but the last thing or Robert said to me and I served on his board for 25 years the last thing all Robert said to me before he went to heaven he was he was in our home he and Evelyn before she passed away first and then later he passed away I said brother Roberts what's the last thing Jesus said to you in the last visitation you had with him he said Jerry jesus said oral if you think you saw signs and wonders and miracles under the big tent he said son you haven't seen anything yet they're coming back big time how they do hear and I believe he's talking about this generation I said I believe he's talking about this generation God hasn't forgotten us and he say Amen you know I've learned over the years that one of the main reasons and an awakening an outpouring a major move of God takes place is when God sees hunger most people are not hungry for it most people most churches are not hungry void they're satisfied with just Church as usual they're satisfied with you know services as usual don't shout me down them they're not hungry enough for it you know we we use the word hunger so loosely you know most of us left today saying boy I'm hungry we weren't really hungry it's just time to eat again amen and we eat a big lunch and in just a couple hours we're telling somebody oh I'm hungry again you hungry you're not really hungry you just want to eat again hello that's not hunger that's habit amen when you hunger you find a truly hungry person they'll do anything for their next meal they meant they'll go anywhere to get that next meal they're they're desperate and desperation is not a negative thing you know sometimes it can be but in the positive side of desperation desperate people do whatever it takes to get what they're desperate for can you say Amen and most Christians are not desperate for a move of God they're not desperate for the glory of God they're not desperate for signs and wonders and more Marvel's the praise God we're gonna get that way hallelujah look your neighbors say you are going to get that way trust me because the world we live in today it's not gonna get any easier to live on this planet amen all you got to do is turn on CNN don't want you very long but you turn on CNN and you can see what's happening around the world right now even in our own nation who would have ever thought that the things that we're seeing happen around us on a daily basis would have ever taken place in our lifetime and it's going to get worse and boy you better you better learn how to live by the Word of God now because if you don't learn how to live by the Word of God now you're not gonna make it in the days ahead amen not trying to frighten you I'm just telling you the truth amen but at the same time if we get hungry for the move of God then God promises us that when sin abounds grace does much more amen God will never allow the devil to outdo him amen and praise God there are some great things that are on the horizon and a lot of it's happening right now I don't I see it somewhat on a limited basis here in America but overseas when we go and all these nations where we go there is such hunger as I said this morning Joe and I just returned from Cuba and those people have been oppressed oppressed all these years under communist rule and and under you know things that that certainly don't line up with the word of God and once they began to open the doors for the gospel to come in there's been there's been guys preaching there all this time in fact the church that we were involved in the pastor had been in prison for preaching they released him he come up preaching again in fact he had an opportunity to move to Miami and was offered a good job with good pay a home and a car and because he'd been oppressed for so long he decided he'd move his family there and was just in a short time he realized this is not where God wants me I'm going back to Cuba and I'm gonna preach the gospel to my own people and he left all that luxury and moved back there to absolute nothing this car was taken away from him his house was taken away from him he's put in jail and boy when he come out he went to preaching again and now he can preach freely praise God and I'm telling you I've never seen such hunger in people as I saw in Cuba these people are hungry and guess what God is responding to their hunger jesus said if your hunger and your thirst you will be filled you will not be denied anybody getting hungry praise God and I'm not telling I'm not talking about you know McDonald's I don't talk about hungry for a move of God are you hungry for a move of God like if somebody say you were looking at one hungry person now God promises he said this is covenant with me that there will be signs and wonders and marvels and so forth and he is not a covenant breaker now if you look at the book of Joel and the book of Joel takes place hundreds of years later than the book of Exodus the events in the book of Joel and you will find in Joel chapter 2 and verse 21 fear not o land be glad and rejoice for the Lord will do great things the Lord will do great things now that wasn't just talking about the people and the times of Joel's life because later in the book of Acts on the day of Pentecost that's the first person Peter quoted this is that which the Prophet Joel spoke so notice this this prophetic word that Joel had about fear not God will do great things it didn't end with Joel it didn't end with the people in Joel's generation because way on over into the book of Acts on the day of Pentecost Peter is quoting Joel and one of the things he included was not only Joel's prophecy about when the Holy Spirit would come and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and so forth but he also said and I will show wonders and I will show wonders can you say men so this is covenant with God amen we have God's promise that there will be marvels and wonders and extraordinary manifestations of the greatness of our God and if you read the book of Acts you'll see continually under the ministry of the early apostles signs and wonders and miracles under the Ministry of the Apostle Paul the Bible says and God did special miracles by the hands of the Apostle Paul so evidently what God said to Moses in Exodus chapter 34 it didn't in with Moses it didn't in with his generation because God is doing it in joy with joy God is doing it with with Peter God is doing it with John God is doing it with Paul and I believe praise God is moving right on up to our generation and we are headed for Marvel's wonders and extraordinary manifestations of the greatness of our God and somebody ought to give you a good shout of praise right now amen now what do we mean by wonders what's what's a Wonder a Wonder implies something unfamiliar in explicit in explicit that is unable to be explained other than it had to be God doing it something that is unfamiliar in explicit lickable that is unable to be explained other than it had to be God doing it can you say amen to that now what is a marvel a marvel it's anything that God does that causes you to have a sense of awe a sense of reverence you're captivated by it and once again you understand that only God could have made this happen amen and I've experienced that many times over the years where things that that would happen in our personal lives and and in our ministry that we would experience a marvel or a wonder and there was absolutely no doubt that it had to be God no man could have made this happen amen it had to be God years ago Carol and I were coming back from Oklahoma City and my grandmother had passed away and we went up to be in the funeral and after the funeral was over our relatives which we hadn't got to spend any time with in quite some time they all want us to stay in visit so forth and and I had to be back in Dallas the next day or the next night to preach and so we stayed as long as we could with him until about midnight or so and then we were driving back home and on the way home of course it's now after midnight nearly one o'clock in the morning my two daughters are asleep in the backseat Carolyn is asleep up in the front seat she'd taken a pillow with her and put it up against the door and and she was asleep and I'm driving out on Interstate 35 coming back toward Dallas Fort Worth and so now it's probably one thirty two o'clock in the morning and I'm out in the boondocks and and I wouldn't really concentrating on the last town that I passed and what's the next town I'm just driving you know and so I'm I'm driving along here all of a sudden something hit the bottom of my car and made a loud noise I ran over something in the highway that I didn't see and it made such a loud that it awakened Carolyn it didn't wake the girls they were sound asleep but Carolyn woke up she said what happened I said I don't know I read it I guess I ran over something in the highway and I guess everything's ok just go ahead and go back to sleep so she put her head back on the pillow and I'm driving along there and I just happen to look down at my gas gauge because I just filled it up in Oklahoma City and I happen to look down at my gas gauge and it's doing this toward empty whatever I ran over in the road hit the gas tank and put a gash in it and the gas is running out and I stopped and when it put off on the side of the highway and I got out with a flashlight and looked underneath and gas is pouring out of my fuel tank so you know what do you do it's known 2 o'clock in the morning I have no idea of how far back it is to that last town we passed I have no idea how far it is to the next town and so I don't want to take off walking and you know because I don't know how far it is not only that I don't want to leave my family out on that highway by themselves so I said Carolyn we're just gonna have to pray and ask God to send us for somebody send somebody to help us so we just join hands we prayed Lord send somebody to help us we hadn't seen any other cars coming either direction in quite some time Leo's out there by ourselves and so I'm sitting there in the front seat and I'm looking in the rearview mirror to see if there's any cars coming up from behind and after maybe 10 12 minutes or so I saw some lights in the rearview mirror so I got my flashlight I got out the other car and I'm standing next to the car and and waving the flashlight to see if I can get their attention to stop I didn't want to get out in the road in case they didn't see me you know and run over me so I'm standing up next to the car and I'm doing this with a flashlight and this truck pulled up right behind me and the guy got out and he said what do you need I told him and explained to him what had happened he got down on his knees and I showed him how the all the gas had poured out of the car put a hole in it it ran over something and I said can you help me and his exact words were it's what I was sent for and I didn't really pay any attention I mean I I heard what he said but I didn't think about what he said he said that's what I was sent for so he goes to the back of his truck and gets a chain out of it and he pulls his truck up in front of my car he puts the chain on the on the bumper and hooks the chain to his bumper and he said I'll lead you to a service station and it's about 20 miles up the road here so he towed me up to that station when we gone off the highway and we went over the highway to a service station over here on the left and it was only a little service station it looked like it had been built in the 40s or the 50s and there was a little cafe next door to it that's all that was there and he pulled me in up to this service station and he gets out and gets some keys out of his pocket unlocks the front door that service station turns the lights on then he goes into the bay area that worked the shop area he turns the lights on then he raises the overhead door and then he and I push my car inside and he goes to working on it and he plugs up that hole in the gas tank then we push it out in front of the pump and he fills my car up with gas and he wouldn't let me pain I said sir you don't have any idea what you've done for me tonight let me pay at least let me pay it no it's what I was sent for and so he wouldn't let me pay him and so we got in the car and we drew it on the Fort Worth well I knew I was supposed to be back in Oklahoma City in about six weeks and I told Carol I said on the way up there I'm gonna stop at that little station and I'm gonna thank that man again because he was God sent no and I didn't realize how God said he was and so when I I'm watching all the time I'm driving up there I'm watching for that little station I actually passed it up turn around and come back at the next exit and and went there and this station looked like it had been closed for years there's nobody there and I went next door to that little cafe and I said sir do you know the man that owns this service station next door he said son that service does have been closed for years I said well about six weeks ago there was a man repaired my car in there he said not there I said yes sir right there I remember your cafe he said no that's impossible I said sir this man took keys out of his pocket unlock the door turn the light so he said no it wasn't here I said yes sir it was I remember the name of your cafe he said that's impossible there's no there hasn't been any electricity over there in that station for years and not only that there's there hadn't been gas in those pumps for years this is not where you had your car repaired I said sir I'm looking I walked outside and took him out there with me I looked at the sign on his cafe I said this is the cafe I remember it well he said this is impossible that couldn't have happened that station's been closed for years there's no electricity over there and there's certainly no gas in those pumps and he walked back in has left me out there you know with my mouth wide open and I'm thinking god I know this was the place he said it was I said well what what happened here can you explain this and he said this didn't I say in the book of Hebrews that there would be times when you would entertain angels unaware I said that was an angel he said yes it was I sent him don't you remember what he kept telling you it's what I was it's what I came for it's what I was sent to do I could only wait to tell Carolyn I could hardly wait to get back home and tell Carol and then I preached it as soon as I the next place I was preaching and I said to the people did you know that angels have keys two service stations that have been closed for years did you know angels can turn on lights where there are no electricity where there is no electricity did you know angels can get gas out of pumps that's been empty for years and years I call that a marvel and a Wonder hallelujah amen a marvel and a Wonder glory to God and that's not the first time or the last time something like that's happened to us amen you know I think we need to stretch our faith we need to stretch your faith and start believing that God is totally unlimited you haven't seen all the ways that he can meet your needs in fact you ought to quit trying to figure it out your responsibility is not try to figure out how God can meet your needs there unsearchable amen your job my job is to believe he can and believe he will hallelujah can you say Amen look your neighbors say my God can and my God will that's all I need to believe raise god can you say Amen give the Lord a shout praise the Lord Amen that was a wonder something that is unfamiliar that's unexplainable other than the fact the only way you could explain it is God did it hallelujah God did it now I remember one time you know reading the book of Acts it says that they brought the sick into the streets so that at least the shadow of Peter would overshadow them and they were healed I'd call that a wonder I'd call that a marvel wouldn't you I mean all they had to do because Peter couldn't reach them all Peter couldn't touch them all they just brought him into the streets and wherever Peters shadow was they got under that shadow and they were healed and they were set free it's my said I don't believe well it'll never happen to you this works for believers Amen I remember years ago I was preaching out in Southern California and my wife and my daughters were with me and we had been preaching every day for about two weeks and I had one night off one day off Saturday then I was gonna start another series of meetings on Sunday and the girls and Carolyn said let's go to the mall this morning and have lunch somewhere I said ah I'd like to just stay in the hotel today and just rest and once you girls go I said no daddy we want you to go with us well of course they want me to go with them because I'm buying you know and so anyway you know they just insisted daddy you be you're locked up all the time studying and praying come be with us I said okay I'll go with you and so we got to this mall South Coast Plaza you know where South Coast Plaza is it's in the Anaheim area Orange County and it's it's a beautiful mall and we visited quite often when we're out there and so we went to South Coast Plaza and I told the girls I said no you guys just go in and shop take your time and there's a restaurant there in the mall that we likes and I said and about noon or so let's meet at the restaurant and have lunch and if y'all are not through shopping you're going to do that but I'm not I'm not going shopping I'm just gonna I'm just gonna walk around so they finally left and I just started walking down the quarter to that mall I'd walk over here and I'd see something in the window and I didn't go in any store all I did is go up to the window and I'd look and then I'd look down the quarter there and I'd see another shop that had something interesting in the window so I'd walk over at this side and I'd look in the window for a little while and then I'd see something down a little further I just kept walking down the mall never went in one of the shops and I just went zigzagging through that mall in a little while I heard somebody running behind me back way up behind me and I never turned around to see who it was but I could hear somebody running and all of a sudden they stopped and they put their head on my shoulder and whirled me around and said this woman said I knew it was you I knew it was you I said yes ma'am it's me I said who are you she said I have been ill for months now and the doctors don't know what's wrong with me they say there's nothing they can do and I've been laid up for months and this morning I was praying and I said lord I need help send me somebody that knows how to pray the prayer of faith I need somebody and he said she said the Lord told her get up go to South Coast Plaza stand at the end entrance and watched the light and when you see the light follow it and touch the light and you'll be healed and she said I stood here and I watch the light go over here and I want to like go over here now watch the light go over here and I watch the light go over here and then all of a sudden I saw your face when you started off in the other direction and I knew that you were the one that God had sent me and I knew and when I touched you and I touched the light praise God I was gonna be healed and she was healed instantly right there in the mall praise God amen I'd call that a wonder you know I go the mall quite often but that doesn't happen every time I go wish it did you know but but it has happen one night I was I was preaching in Fort Worth my pastor Harold Nichols he's gone home to be with the Lord now but he pastored that church over 50 years and if I was home he would love me to come and preach a couple of nights at the church and so we went over on a Sunday night and had this glorious service I mean in brother Nichols was saying brother Jerry you got to stay another night you got to stay another night and and so we got out of that service that night and the anointing God was so strong Carolyn said you don't drive out drive home she took the keys away from me she said you go get on the passenger side I said I can drive I'm okay she said no you're not every time you get under that kind of anointing you're driving circles we don't even get out of the parking lot and she said how drive so she took the keys away from me and and I got in the passenger side and we're driving home and she said I've got to stop at the 7-eleven on the way home to get some milk for tomorrow I said okay so she pulled up from this 7-eleven and you know you've been to 7-eleven it's all glass in the front you see the inside of the entire store from the front parking lot and so she pulled up there and I started to get out and she said no just sit here I'll go get it I said no I'm fine I'll go get it so I walked in that store and I noticed when I walked in and I said hello to them there was a man behind the counter the salesman and there was a man standing in front of the counter and then there was another man standing next to him and I just spoke to them said hello how you doing and then I walked off to the right to go to the refrigerator section to get this milk so I get the milk and I come back and I set the milk on the counter and I reached in my back pocket to get my billfold and when I when I reached around like this I turned and looked at the guy who was standing here and I noticed he was looking at a Playboy magazine that was being sold and at 7-eleven and he had that magazine open and looking at the filth in there and when I looked at him and I saw what he's reading I didn't say a word to him I just reached for my billfold all of a sudden he falls in the floor and he starts crying you convict me you convict me who are you who are you I said well I'm a representative of the Most High God and apparently I've been sent to help you and so I just got down in the Florida laid my hands on him led him to the Lord got him filled the Holy Ghost helped pick him up and then I've reached I still hadn't got my money on my billfold yet I reached around to get my billfold and I got the money out and I turned to the guy that was the the that worked in the store and he at the ground he said me too me too me too and I got them both Satan filled the Holy Ghost and the third guy said don't leave me out and I got him saved and filled the Holy Ghost paid for my milk went in the car and drove home and it was a Marvel there was a wonder who you hey I've never had anything like that happened to me before but God is the god of Marvel's God is the god of wonders what do you suppose God is wanting to do if we just take the limits off well I've never heard God do anything like that God can do a lot of things you hadn't heard of yet well I've never seen God do anything like that God can do a lot of things you hadn't seen done yet amen you need to take him out of your box thank you for your enthusiasm he's not jack-in-the-box he's not God in the Box

experienced but praise God if we'll take the limits off that's where we're headed glory to God can you say Amen come on give the Lord your best shout tonight how they do is that your best shout give the Lord your best shout hallelujah amen the Apostle Paul says in Romans chapter 15 verse 19 through mighty signs and wonders and by the power of the Spirit of God he said this is what he saw in his ministry signs and wonders by the mighty power of the Spirit of God Psalm 105 says that God and I'm speaking of reading from the message translation that God remembers for a thousand generations his covenant well a thousand generations haven't passed yet and what was that covenant we spoke of in Exodus 34 I will do marvels I will do wonders such as have never been seen in any nation and a thousand generations haven't passed yet and God is faithful to his word can you say Amen the Amplified Bible says he is earnestly mindful of his covenant and forever it is imprinted in his heart in his heart that covenant is imprinted he will never forget it and just because we haven't seen it happen in the last few days the last few years or the last decade that doesn't mean that God can't do it and that doesn't mean that God won't do it amen we just got to get hungry for it again somebody say I am a hungry person say I'm hungry Lord amen praise God now John chapter 5 I'm sorry job chapter 5 verse 9 this has become one of my favorite scriptures then the King James says God doeth great things and unsearchable marvelous things without number let me read it again God does great things unsearchable marvelous things without number but listen to the message translation this the one I love the most after all he's famous for great and unexpected acts there's no end to his surprises

notice what it said once again his surprises have no end the next verse job 5:10 says will never comprehend all the great things he does his miracle surprises can't be counted hallelujah and you know when I learned that years ago I begin to believe for it I'd get up every day and I said no Lord if you want to surprise me today I'm very open to it okay I'm very open to surprises and he's doing that constantly sometimes I can't tell a lot of things that God does because people get the wrong impression they think I'm materialistic or something I'm not materialistic Lord I've given away more stuff than most people acquire in the lifetime I'm a giver and and and I'm not gonna tell God stop giving me stuff because people won't understand no I'm gonna say bring it on over then I'm a motorcycle enthusiast I love riding motorcycles no you don't understand it I love riding motorcycles Jack loves golf if I've got a choice to go play golf with Jack or go ride a motorcycle Jack will play along okay not only that I don't know I don't know a thing about golf but I know motorcycles and and you know the Lord's and I and I have a Christian biker organization that I founded over 20 years this is our 20th year and we have chapters all over the nation we have chapters and other nations I get to ride motorcycles all over the world and it's one of our greatest soul-winning tools in the last 20 years one on one evangelism one on one evangelism over 200,000 people have come to Christ just through our motorcycle ministry they're not amazing so you know I love riding motorcycles and and I've had some famous builders some of the most famous builders in America build me one of a kind motorcycles I have him in my shop and I remember a time I came home from a meeting Carolyn was up in Minneapolis teaching in Lynn Hammonds women's meeting so it was a weekend I had at home all by myself I looked everywhere I couldn't find any honey-do list so I got a free weekend I thought what am I gonna do so I thought I'm gonna make it a motorcycle day I'll get up early in the morning and I thought I'll just ride to San Antonio and I'll have lunch with a pastor friend of mine down there and then I'll ride back home if I don't want to come back home I'll just spend the night right the next day so I got up early the next morning and I got on this brand-new harley-davidson ultra classic had less than 500 miles I got on it I drove it out of my garage I drove it to the in the street and suddenly I realized this is not my bike anymore so I turned around I took it back to the garage and I got on the other like that I had which was a brand-new Heritage Softail Classic and it had less than 500 miles so I rolled it and I got down to the end the road and suddenly I realized this is not my bike anymore and so I wrote it back now said now Lord show me who these bikes belong to and I will had seed to it they have him before dark and he spoke to me and one of them belonged to one of my Bible school students and this boy had been in jail for over 20 years been in prison for over 20 years he was a bad man and he got saved and and he came to our Bible School Bear and and the Lord told me to give this one motorcycle to bear Morgan and so you remember you were there we called all the students out in the parking lot that morning and I had that bike brought up there and I said I've been teaching on faith today I'm gonna demonstrate faith and I said bear come out here standing next to that motorcycle and I said bear the Lord told me to so this bike into your life I'm giving it to you it's yours I gave him the deed a title deed I gave him the keys and this great big man I'm Teddy he was he was a huge guy and and they called him bear because he looked like a bear he started crying and he couldn't stop crying and when he finally stopped crying he said brother Jerry it's the only Harley ever owned in my life I didn't steal and so bear took off on that bike and his wife's name is Doug bear and of and they took off on that bike and they won their first convert with that bike before they got home that night some guy come up and said man that's one of the most beautiful motorcycles I ever seen bear grabbed because nobody nobody walked away with bear woman to witness to him and bear grabbed him and said let me tell you how I got this bike Jesus gave it to me yeah I believe you sir I believe you you need to know Jesus yes sir anything you say you know amen and then I called bin priest who's a founder of the tribe of Judah lives here in Houston and and the Lord told me to give that ultra - Ben and I gave it to min and so I'm without a motorcycle I have a motorcycle ministry you need a motorcycle when you have a motorcycle ministry you know and my oldest grandson of course he is he's in the military now but he was just a little guy and he come over he loved riding motorcycles with me he'd been all over the country on the motorcycle with his pop off and he come on he said Pablo let's go ride motorcycles I said no son I don't have any motorcycles anymore I gave him away you did what Papa I gave my motorcycles away he said why I said well the Lord impressed me to do that and he said well are you believing for more I said well I don't know he said well Papa that's not what you preach I said well what is it I preach he said you preach giving it will be given to you he said if you if you gave those away because the Lord told you to then don't you think he's gonna give you some more I said well yeah I guess so but I hadn't asked him for any more and so more Genesis got real quiet and finally he said Papa I think Jesus is just like you I said how's that he said you know sometimes I ask you if I can have something and a lot of times you'll say yes and then we'll go get it right there he said but other times you'll say I'll think about it he said Papa Jesus is thinking about it you gonna get some orders happens I had to build a bigger garage my wife said don't you ever give another motorcycle away they come back to you and fleets amen and and I was in I was in New Orleans preaching at Jesse's Church and a man drove up I wanted with a truck and a trailer and had five motorcycles loaded on the back of it and he walked in the hotel said anybody know Jerry Savelle in here and somebody said yeah he's on his way down in just a little bit and he said well I need to talk to him and so when I came out he he said you see all them motorcycles on that they're yours God told me to give them to you five motorcycles you can't ride the one at a time five motorcycles God said surprise I said Lord what am I gonna do with these he said they're not for you I'll tell you five names you'll sew them in two and I gave every one of those motorcycles away to people that were believing for them amen and I got to say to them when they received it surprise what you know Tony Tony that works for me Tony is one of our Bible School graduates and Tony was a professional football player before he got saved he was from California he played with the Seattle Seahawks he played in the in the Canadian Football League and he travels with me all over the world and he was believing for a motorcycle and so one day at church there was a guy gave me a motorcycle and I had him bring it into the church and park it right in front of the podium right in front of the platform and here's a beautiful motorcycle and I just preaching along there and I had the keys in my pocket and Tony was sitting in the corner over here behind me and I'm preached along there and I just took the keys and just flipped him as high as I could behind me and I said catch Tony he called him I said it's yours surprise he had no idea that bike was here he was admiring it he was looking at it I think he drooled on it before the service and and he had no idea that bike was it and he said dad it's mine I said it's yours hallelujah you see I learned a long time ago if you want more surprises from God start sowing more surprises into other people's lives you missed a great opportunity to shout I said if you want more surprises from God coming into your life start sowing more surprises into other people's life whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap can you say Amen hallelujah God wants to do Mart he wants to do things that are unusual he wants to do things that you're not familiar in seeing him do it that way he wants to do things that will cause you to stand in awe he wants to do things that will cause you to have a even greater reverence for him and realize that that could have never happened if it hadn't been for God hallelujah come on give the Lord your best shout amen hallelujah first Corinthians two chapter 9 the Apostle Paul says I have not seen nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for them that love him notice the things that God has prepared and that is Eadie on the end of it past tense God's already prepared things for those that love him amen and the Bible says our eyes haven't even seen them yet our ears have not even heard about them yet and our hearts have not even conceived them yet that means God's got a whole lot more in store for those that love him anybody here love God tonight well then lift your hands and say that's me he's talking about say that's me he's talking about amen and I believe praise God if you'll dare believe for it you're headed for more and more surprises throughout this coming new year how they doing
