The Superior Power of THE BLESSING | Jerry Savelle

Hallelujah I love brother Jesse sure glad God brought him into my life you know I listen to all these speakers and there's a couple of things I picked up that Jesse said number one he said he's taller than me yeah he did and number two he said I love imagination put the two [Applause] together what a Dreamer he is taller than me but it's the heels on his shoes that makes the difference I'll let him be taller that's okay got your Bibles with you yesterday I shared with you that the Lord had said to me

a few months ago don't ever stop teaching on the power of the blessing and teaching people how to walk in his favor and he said it is the solution and the answer to the chaos that is in your World today learning how to walk in God's blessing learning how to walk in his favor I'm telling you when that becomes a revelation to you then your days of failure and defeat will soon be over over praise God look at somebody and say thank God for the blessing than God for bless say thank God for his favor

and then smile real big at somebody and say and I have them both Hallelujah I both and go ahead and give The Lord a good praise for it amen we closed the service yesterday from John 10:10 you all know it Jesus said I've come that they might have life that they might have it more abundantly the Amplified Bible I came that they may have and enjoy life have it in abundance to the full until it overflows Jesus wants us living life to the full overflowing life I love the message translation better life than they've ever

dreamed of better life than you've Ever dreamed of that's the kind of life that he gave his life for you and I to enjoy and I testify today and I say it to his glory uh I am presently living life better than I ever dreamed of growing up I never knew life could be this good you know as a young man I didn't know that life could be this good it wasn't until begin to discover from the word of God and thank God for brother Copeland who was instrumental in bringing those Revelations to me 44

years ago and then the things the Lord began to teach me and teach me how to walk in and from that time until now it has been what I describe as adventures in faith and life better than I've ever dreamed of that's the way you should be able to describe your life better than you ever dreamed of is that the way you would describe your life today if not then you need to get a deeper revelation of the power of the Blessing and the ability of God's favor on your life now if you're not living

life better than you ever dreamed of then if I were you I'd get fighting mad today because you're being robbed that's not the way God wants you to live anything less than better than you ever dreamed of is not the way God wants you to live so determine right now if you haven't already that you're not going to let the devil get away with this any Longer God's word says that one of the primary reasons why that God's people don't enjoy his best is a lack of knowledge well you just sat in here for the

rest of the week and you will leave this week no longer lacking knowledge Hallelujah you're going to hear some things that will be lifechanging no matter what level your life may be at this very moment there's always another level praise God and I believe God wants to take you there can you say amen amen Now I want you to listen to Galatians chapter 3 and I'm going to read it from the message translation a portion of it beginning in verse 13 this is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross he became a curse

and at the same time dissolved the curse and now because of that the air is cleared and we can see that AB Abraham's blessing is present and available we are all able to receive just the way Abraham received it the air is cleared because Of what Jesus did at Calvary and now Abraham's blessing is present and it is available we are all able to receive so that tells me that this is not just for a few a select few but every person in this Auditorium has a right to walk in the blessing of God hallelujah

amen you have a right to expect it to manifest in your life and as we discovered yesterday you can't have the blessing without favor they are divinely linked the blessing is part of our covenant and Favor is a major characteristic of the blessing Genesis 12 the Amplified version God says to Abram I Will Bless Thee the Amplified version says and give you an abundant increase of favors Psalm 5:12 the Lord will bless the righteous and with favor will he Compass them or surround them so notice in both verses blessing and favor are both mentioned so

you can't have the blessing without favor and thank God if you have the blessing then you've got favor the only Problem is most of God's people don't know how to walk in them they don't know how to appropriate it you know it's a sad thing when the only time the word blessing is used in your house is when somebody sneezes hello you ought to be talking the blessing all the time become so blessing and favor minded that you get up expecting it to manifest every day of your life can you say amen God wants every

day to be a Blessing day every day to be a blessing day that blessing is on us just like it was on Abraham just like it was on Isaac just like it was on Jacob just like it was on Joseph just like it was on David that same blessing is on us today and can do for us what it did for them yesterday I talked to you and showed you from the word uh several um references of how the blessing enabled God's people to overcome adversity and it'll do the same for you and me today

another Wonderful thing about the blessing in Genesis 241 it says the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things by the time he was a very very old man God had blessed him in All Things the message transl says had blessed him in every way how would you like for everything you do to have God's blessing on it Hallelujah wouldn't that be a great way to live well that's the way God wants you to live listen to the Contemporary English version the Lord Made him rich and he was successful in everything he did he was successful

in everything that he did that tells me that when the blessing is operating in your life and when the favor of God is operating in your life then your philosophy is no longer when a few lose of you amen he was successful in everything that he did is that possible for you and me well if the same blessing that was on Abraham is now on us then it is certainly possible that we can be Successful in everything we do and in every way look at somebody say I receive that in Jesus name I receive that

in Jesus name Hallelujah that would also imply that the blessing was working for him every day even in his challenges the blessing would show up no foe could defeat him no crisis could stop him the blessing worked in his behalf day in and day out and it's designed by God to do the very same thing for you and me today the Noah Webster 1828 Edition dictionary If you don't have one I'd strongly suggest that you get one in fact you can now download it as an app on your iPhone praise God on your iPad I'm

telling you I love it I carried around with me everywhere I go I mean right next to my Bible in my library is my Noah Webster 1828 Edition dictionary and the reason I love it so much is because it not only gives you definitions but scripture references as well now here's what that particular dictionary states that when You have been blessed then happiness favor prosperity and success have been pronounced upon you look at somebody say I am blessed I am blessed now what that means according to the Noah Webster 1828 Edition dictionary when you say

I'm blessed then that means happiness faith favor prosperity and success have been pronounced upon you Hallelujah glory to God and then the word pronounced literally means to confer or to invoke And this same dictionary states that when the word confer or invoke is used it's used to express the grant of favors benefits and privileges to be enjoyed not only now but permanently Hallelujah I love that when the blessing of God has been pronounced upon your life then that means that you are now the beneficiary of favors benefits and privileges that are to be enjoyed right

Now and permanently praise God look at somebody and say I am L blessed and I am permanently blessed and I think you got to give the Lord a shout over that amen glory to God permanently blessed now if I am permanently blessed that means that I can count on it working for me in the good times as well as the bad times Hallelujah no matter what's going on in our world around us we have something on us and remember I use this Term yesterday and if you didn't write it down write it down now when

the blessing of God is on you and the favor of God is on you you are now Superior to your circumstances amen Superior to your circumstances and that means no matter what's going on around you good or bad recession depression bad economy there's something on you and it's on you permanently and it makes you Superior to your circumstances can you say amen amen I love Psalm 38 it says thy blessing is on thy people and the next closing word in that reference or verse is silah thy blessing is upon thy people Sila Sila means stop

and think about this stop and meditate on this see that's where so many of God's people are missing it they they hear things like this but they don't take time enough to meditate upon it and it's the meditating upon it and running it over and over in your thinking saying it over and Over pondering upon it thinking about it when you're driving to work thinking about it when you get up thinking about it before you go to bed wake up thinking about it that's where most of God's people are missing it they only hear it

but they don't meditate upon it and consequently it never becomes deeply rooted in their hearts and it's no long or it never becomes a revelation but when it becomes a revelation nobody can take it away from You can you say amen I know that I know that I know the blessing of God Is On My Life The Blessing is not out here somewhere and I'm trying to get it the favor of God is not out there somewhere and I'm trying to get it I let the word of God be final Authority and if he says

his Blessing is upon me then as far as I'm concerned that settles it his Blessing is upon me and if it is upon me now it is upon me forever and if it can do for Abraham whatever it could do for Abraham Isaac Jacob Joseph Daniel David and all the rest of them then just add Jerry's name to the list it'll do it for me Hallelujah and it'll do it for you can you say Amen am say the blessing of God the blessing of God is on my life amen amen so that would say to

me stop stop praying for it why would I want to ask God for something he says I've already got thank you for your Enthusiasm Amen to God you know I I think that's one of the ways the devil has kept the body of Christ blinded to these things you know we just become religious and use things from the Bible in a religious way and consequently they never have an effect on our lives Jesus said your religious Traditions make the Commandments of God of no effect and so people just go around you know uh praying oh

Lord bless us Amen let's make sure we we don't close the prayer without Lord bless us well why would I ask him to do something for me that he says he's already done the blessing is on me rather than ask him for it I prefer to thank him for it hallelujah amen thank him for what he says has already been accomplished praise God look at somebody and tell them the blessing is on me the bless on The favor of God is on me the favor of God I am now Superior I am now to my

circumstances and give the Lord another shout amen now not only does this Noah Webster dictionary say that when you are blessed and the blessing has been conferred or pronounced upon you that it is there permanently but even the Bible says that David said this in 1 chonicles 17:27 he said for thou blesses O Lord And it shall be blessed for forever in other words what he's saying is once God blesses something then it is blessed forever well he blessed me he blessed you that means you're blessed forever hallelujah look at your neighbor and say go

ahead and touch me it'll be all right ask him how does it feel to set somebody sit next to somebody like me hallelujah amen for thou blesses oh Lord and it shall be blessed forever now I love the message Translation here too it says because you have blessed it God it's really blessed blessed for good look at your neighbor and say I'm not only blessed I'm really blessed somebody say why you have us repeat stuff all the time cuz I want to that's right it's SM service that's right that's how you get it in you

repetition Hallelujah that's right amen so say it again I'm blessed I'm blessed really blessed really blessed I I need For you to put some emphasis on the really blessed part say it again I'm blessed I'm blessed really blessed blessed amen and then the New Living Translation says for when you Lord grant a blessing it is an eternal blessing Hallelujah Eternal I'm eternally blessed well if I'm eternally blessed Then Satan is eternally defeated hallelujah amen glory to God we need to get a deeper revelation of the power of the blessing and how to walk walk in

God's favor it is the answer to all the chaos in your world today if you learn how to walk in the blessing appropriate the blessing learn how to walk in the favor of God it makes no matter what's happening around you then his Blessing and his favor makes you Superior to it you will not be suppressed by it you Will overcome it Hallelujah the blessing is on your life forever am and we can count on it being on us for the rest of our lives and that goes for favor as well now Psalm 30:5 from

The New American Standard says this his favor is for a lifetime his favor is for a lifetime The New International Version says his favor lasts a lifetime so what have I discovered think about it for a moment his Blessing is on my life Eternally his Blessing is on my life forever his favor last a lifetime so how can I lose if his Blessing is on my life forever and his favor is for a lifetime then how can I lose this is why David made this statement in Psalm 41:11 by this I know that you favor

me because my enemy does not triumph over me what's David saying I know I have the favor of God on my life and here's how I Know because my enemy never triumphs over me hallelujah amen the message translation says it this way there are no Victory shouts from the enemy's Camp Hallelujah hallu there are no Victory shouts from the enemy's Camp you see when you're walking in the blessing of God and you're walking in the favor of God it silence the enemy's Camp Hallelujah there are there is no shouting going on over there just Weeping

and crying and w in and nashing and sorrow because they know that with the favor of God and the blessing of God on your life then they are helpless they are hopeless they cannot defeat you they cannot overcome you you have something on your life that makes you Superior come on give the Lord a good shout of Praise amen it'll enable you to rise above everything Satan or the world throws Your way so I challenge you today get up every morning thanking God for the blessing thanking God for his favor what don't we do that

right now just lift both hands and you just express it in your own way but thank God for the blessing and thank God for his favor come on voice it voice it out loud voice it with some enthusiasm thank you Jesus for what you did at Calvary so that the blessing of God would come on my life thank you Father for your favor and Thank you that it's for a lifetime Hallelujah come on give the Lord your best shout this morning Hallelujah every day thank God for his Blessing every every day thank God for his

favor learn to rely upon them more than ever before learn how to draw from them how to make a demand upon them never go another day without expecting the blessing of God and the favor of God to show up in your life it's a wonderful Way to live Hallelujah glory to God now go with me to Psalm 19 or I'm sorry Psalm 68 and verse 19 and this is where I got the title to my newest book every day a blessing day every day a blessing day as I said when the Lord said don't ever

stop teaching on the blessing and on favor then we began to put out new resources uh focusing on the teaching on the blessing and favor and and just Finished uh two new books on favor and the blessing new curriculum on favor so that we can help the body of Christ get a deeper understanding of how to appropriate and how to walk in these powerful spiritual forces because once again it's what's going to get you over in these last days Psalm 68 look at verse 19 blessed be the Lord who daily Loth us with benefits even

the god of our salvation and notice that little word once again CI blessed be the Lord God who daily everybody shout daily daily what does daily mean every day amen blessed be the Lord who daily Loth us with benefits CA in other words notice he's saying hey stop and think about this get a revelation of this I think it's interesting that both in Psalm 3:8 where he said his Blessing Is upon us and here in Psalm 68:19 he daily Loth us with benefits and both verses have CA at the end of them sounds like to

me God is saying if you get a revelation of the fact that my blessing is already on you and through the blessing it will make daily provision for you then your life will never be the same hallelujah look at somebody and tell them something something should be happening to me should be happening to Because of the blessing and because of favor of every day of my life amen every day of my life the blessing should be showing up the favor of God should be showing up amen I expect it every day and I'm not disappointed

now the Lord taught me many years ago ah this this has got to be at least over 35 years ago he said Son every time the blessing or the favor of God manifest in some way in your life no Matter how minute it might seem or how big it might be stop right then and say out loud acknowledge it and say that's the favor of God Amen yes and he said The more you do that the more favor minded you will become not only that your expectation of it showing up up more frequently will increase

now for instance if you got a decent parking place out there and you didn't have to walk seven blocks when you got that parking place Say out loud I don't care who's there sinner or believer that's the favor of God you mean over a parking place yeah I came through uh Town one day and I don't get downtown but about once a year for a believer's commission even though I live here but uh I had to serve on jury duty or I had to you know be there for jury duty so I had to come

downtown and it's very seldom I come down here but I didn't have to stop at One intersection the lights turned green every time I approached them and I just said that's the favor of [Applause] God well that was just a coincidence well it may be for you but for me I acknowledge it as the favor of God and then when I got to the courthouse and I sat in there with you know several hundred people waiting to see if I'm selected you know to be on jury duty and uh they started calling Out all these

names and they'd s assign them to an Court here and a court there and a court here and I'm sitting there just like everybody else and finally they called my name and said you can go home I said that's the favor of God hallelujah that's the favor of God Amen I can't tell you the number of times that I've had to you know particularly when I was overseas and trying to get back home and maybe had to change my Schedule come home earlier or later and had to change my flight schedule and you know sometimes

you just in the natural you just don't get any flight you want any seat you want and that kind of thing but I start confessing the favor of God I can't tell you the number of times particularly in London heat Thro that I've gone up to the counter after already having called ahead of time and found out that flight's not Available it's booked there are no seats available and I went in faith anyway believing for favor and get to the counter and if my national director runs our ministry in Europe was standing here next to

subject to change no sir it's it's set it's you know every seat's taken I said I understand that but I have Favor what favor I have the favor of God well we don't know about that but we know every seat is booked I just stand there and smile at him and in a little while another lady came out from a office back there and came up and said can I help you and I noticed she had supervisor written across the front I said yes ma'am I I need to be on this this flight she looked

in the computer and said well uh like my assistant said it's totally Booked I said she said that and I appre appreciate that but I'm believing for favor favor yes ma'am come on she said well I don't know what that is but it's it's booked she said wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute I'll be right back and she went back there and she came back and called uh come back and she said we had three dignitaries that were going to be flying today and one of them had told me a few Days

ago that he might not be able to make the trip and he'd let me know in advance uh if he was going to have to cancel or not she said I just called his office a government official and sure enough he's having to uh cancel he won't be on this flight she said he had Row one first class would you like to have his seat I said um the favor of God has not only got me a seat but I am now a dignitary Hallelujah there go amen amen I'm Sitting next to government officials Hallelujah

I remember one time I was flying back from Los Angeles and uh a flight attendant come up there and she said I know who you are and I've got one of your books in my purse and I'm going to come up here when I get through serving the people and I want you to autograph it for me I said I'd be happy to so she came up there but she brought another flight attender with her she said she has one of your books too and She wants you to auto a her book I said I'd

be happy to so I'm autographing their books and they they've knelt down in the floor there between the aisles you know and we're talking and I'm signing their books and a little while the captain came out to go to the uh laboratory and he said Jerry SV I didn't know you was on my flight he said I'll be right back and he came and he knelt down there and we're all talking and just having a good time and preaching And he he he is just thrilled he said man I listen to you all the time

brother Copeland I love you guys and he said I am honored to be on your flight he said when we land let me get your luggage for you I'll get it down and I'll take it to the gate for you I said well you don't have to do no I'd count it in honor and so well this lasted for quite sometime and then they all left and the guy sitting next to me said who are [Applause] You I said highly favored thank you he said well I don't know who you are but I ain't had

no service since you sat down amen the favor of God the favor of God now that's not only produced a seat when there were no seats a parking place when there were no parking places you know 50% off on suits when I never asked for a discount am you know wholesale price on an automobile instead of retail when I Didn't even ask for it land oh when I when I first started studying the favor of God years ago I found out that one of the major characteristics or benefits of the favor of God in the

Bible is land anybody believing for land today keep your hand up in in fact if you're believing for land today stand up man I'm telling you the favor of God can get you land when there is no land The favor of God can cause you to have it when nobody else can have it Hallelujah and the favor of God can cause you to get it at a price that nobody else can get it at that price Lord I Thank you for your favor manifesting in their behalf and causing them to have the land they desire

and not have to pay the world's price we decree favor come on give the Lord a shout hallelujah amen you can be Seated the favor of God got us some land uh a few years ago that has increased in value and continue to increase in value and continue to increase in value you in fact brother copen prophesied over me in 1981 in Philadelphia and said Jerry God's about to just hand over some exceeding valuable land to you well I confessed that and held fast to it for many many years and then when it happened at

the time it happened it Didn't look like exceeding valuable land but it has become exceeding valuable land and I had developers here in Fort Worth come to my office wanting to know how did you get that land when we've been trying to get it I said the favor of God and this other guy said no really how did you get it I said the favor of God no no seriously how who do you know I said God Amen and one of them finally said well I don't know anything about them But I sure like for

you to teach me praise God Amen the favor of God and thank God you have it right now you are just as much entitled to walk in it as I am Hallelujah glory to God now let's look at this again blessed be the Lord who daily Loth us with Benefits what are benefits benefits what does that mean well I looked up in my dictionary and one of the definitions of benefits is something that AIDS or Promotes wellbeing anything that AIDS or promotes wellbeing it's God doing whatever is necessary to make your life better and notice

it says he'll do it daily I'm supposed to be having things happen to me that come from God [Applause] daily see when you develop that kind of attitude then you never have blue Mondays again or terrible Tuesdays oh my God Wednesdays every day a blessing day say it with me every day a blessing day look at your neighbor and tell him something good something good coming from God God should be happening to you should be happening to you every day every day every day now I like this word Loth Lo he Loth us daily with

Benefits another word for Loth his Heap in fact I believe that's where we Probably got this phrase that guy's loaded you ever heard anybody describing somebody that's well off you know wealthy Rich perhaps why did they describe him he loaded look at your neighbor say I'm loaded glory to God like brother copelan said the other night when he got a revelation of this he just shouted I'll never be poored another day in my life somebody shout That right now I'll never be poor poor another day of my life say it again I'll never be poor

another day of my life and then look at somebody and tell him and the reason why I'm loaded the reason why I'm loaded Hallelujah he daily Loth us with Benefits he's daily heaping upon us things that promote well-being Hallelujah thanes can you say Amen amen now in um Matthew 6: 11 you don't have turn There and just make a note of it it says and this is found in what is uh traditionally referred to as the Lord's Prayer and listen to this statement give us this day our daily bread give us this day Our Daily

Bread sounds like to me Jesus is saying we should be receiving something from God every day if your testimony is well back in 1974 I'm telling you God really did some things for me folks this is 2013 is that the last time you've seen a blessing Jesus said in the model prayer give us this day our daily bread bread is symbolic of sustenance that which sustains it's symbolic of provision so Jesus seems to think it's all right for you and I to expect to receive provision daily from our father and that's what the blessing of

God will do can you say amen amen listen to this verse in Deuteronomy chapter 11: 19- 21 and ye shall teach them your children talking about God's word God's laws you shall teach them your children speaking of them when you sit in your house when you walk by the way when you lie down when you rise up you shall write them upon the doorpost of your house and upon your Gates that your days may be multiplied in the days of your children in the land in which the Lord swear unto your fathers to give them

as the days of Heaven upon Earth notice God wants you and I to have Days of Heaven upon Earth amen every day a blessing day if every day you were experiencing something from God wouldn't you call that Living Like Heaven on Earth he wants you to have days of Heaven upon Earth not one day not one year not just during the week of convention but have days plural of Heaven on Earth can you say Amen look at somebody and tell them every day a blessing day every day bless day job 36: 11 says if they

obey and serve him they shall spend their days plural in prosperity and their years in pleasure days every day every day a blessing day they shall spend their days in prosperity once again not one day not one week not one year but their days every day every day a blessing day Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 8 and verse 12 the Lord shall command the blessing upon thee to bless all the work of thine hand are your hands doing something every day I said are your hands doing something every day then if God's blessing is on the

work of your hand and you're doing something with your hands every day then you have every right to expect every day to be a blessing day amen can you say Amen am are you still With me the Contemporary English version says he will make you successful in everything you do this means once again that the blessing is working every day listen to Psalm 37 Verse 18 and 19 now all these scriptures are in my new book and uh I don't have time to go over all of them in this morning session but I'm telling you

you need to get a hold of the Revelation of the power of the blessing and how that it can work and God wants it working in your life every day Psalm 37:18 and 19 the Lord knoweth the days of the upright and their inheritance shall be forever they shall not be ashamed in the evil times or troubled times and in the days of famine shall be satisfied what's God saying that the blessing should be working in your life even in troubled Times evil times even in times of famine or or drought or lack the blessing

should be working the message translation says in hard times they'll hold their heads up high when others shelves are bare theirs will be full Hallelujah that's the blessing working every day can you say Amen The New International Version says in times of disaster they will not Wither in days of famine they will enjoy Plenty and The New American Standard says they will have abundance praise God that's the blessing working even in worst of times can you say Amen so my suggestion to you today is let the word of God be final Authority don't let CNN

be final Authority don't let the so-called experts be final Authority don't let the non-believer be final Authority amen don't let unbelieving Believers be final Authority let the word of God be final Authority let it settle it for you and your house now Psalm 90 verses 14 and 16 say satisfy us with thy mercy and mercy is is a u uh Covenant word it's a characteristic of the blessing satis satisfy us with thy mercy that we may Rejoice all our days satisfy us with your mercy with your goodness with your blessing with your favor so that

we will rejoice all the Days of Our Lives now it says and let Thy word Appear under thy servants and thy Glory under their children now listen to the message transl I love this let me let me read it from the King James again satisfy us with thy mercy that we may Rejoice all our days listen to this surprise us with your love at Daybreak let your servants see what you're best at bless your children what is that saying what God is best at is blessing his People I love it surprise us with your love

at Daybreak I'm not surprised that the blessing shows up I'm not surprised that his favor shows up I'm not surprised that his love and his mercy and his goodness show up I am surprised at how he goes about doing it amen I love surprises anybody else loves surprises amen thank you Jesus surprises I remember right here in this convention let's see it would have been 1987 right here in this Commission I'm building a metal medical facility in an African nation and our phase one was an outpatient clinic where we could treat between 2 and 400

patients a day and brother o Roberts found out I was doing it and he wanted to team up with me and he said you build the clinic and I'll staff it with doctors and nurses that have graduated from Oru so we've teamed up to do this my job's to build it and he's going to Staff it and so uh I sent a team over there to to oversee this project and uh I'm paying for it as I go paying cash as I go and let me just uh give you a little hint here if you

think building a medical facility in a third world country is cheap you've never built one it's not cheap just because it's a third world country it's not cheap and so we have invested hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars into This project and this is just phase one and and along the way brother Roberts is challenged to have it finished by a certain date some of you will remember it was at this time when the media got all over him saying that he said that if he didn't raise $8 million God was going to kill

him how many of you remember that well that's not what he said but the media made it out like that and what He wanted the $8 million for was because his doctors and nurses most of them had to take out loans to go to medical school and then by the time they got their license to practice medicine they were so deep in debt they couldn't go the mission fiill because they had to pay their debts off so brother brother Roberts was believing to raise $8 million so he could pay their debts off and send them

to the mission field and not have that Pressure of debt on them the media forgot to tell you that part well I'm building this facility and he is making it his model and now he's got to have this done by certain date which I had never intended to put a time limit on it but who am I to argue with or Roberts even though it's my project you know he calls me to tuls and he says we're having a board meeting next week And I want you to tell that board we're going to have this

thing ready by this day I said brother Roberts we're not going to have it ready by that day he said you go in there and tell him we're going to have this ready by that day I said brother Roberts we will not have it ready by that day he said you go in there and tell them we're going to have it ready by that day I said I'll go in there and tell him we're going to have it ready by this day in other words he Intended for me to get on the ball which I

already was on the ball but he just made the ball bigger you know and U so now man we we we pushing hard to get this thing ready so he and I can go over there and dedicate it you know and so anyway I think I've got it all done coming into this convention 1987 I think I've got it all done we're ready to go over there in just you know 30 60 days From the time this convention's over and the day before this convention started my director from there called and said brother Jerry I

thought we had everything done and uh we've still got something that's come up that the government's insisting that we do before they'll give us the permit to open I said ' what's it going to cost he told me it was a lot of Money well I didn't have any more money designated for that project I had money in other accounts for other projects but I can't take money out of there and use it on this that's misappropriating funds but I didn't have any other money for this and uh he said we've got to have this

or or we can't do the dedication well I'm not going to or Roberts and tell him we're not going you don't tell oh Robert you're not Going there's there's three people I've learned not to argue no four people I've learn not to argue with God or Roberts Kenneth copelan and Carolyn I probably should have put Carolyn at the top and U you know man we got we still got to have a ton of money for this to happen so we come into this convention and uh I don't know in the natural where the money's coming

From so the first night of this convention brother copelan gets through preaching and uh we all go back to our hotel and we were staying at the Worthington Hotel that year and uh myself and uh my wife and I think happy and Jenny cwell were in the elevator with us and I know John and Marty Copeland were in the elevator with us and I think Jesse and Kathy or or maybe it was U another couple I can't remember now but there Were several of us who just come from the convention and we're all going up

to our rooms we push the button for our floor we're all talking you know probably talking about the service or something or whatever and the doors start to close and just before they closed two little hands pressed through there trying to open them you've done that before in that elevator you know and these two hands just came through and Did all it could do to open those doors so I pushed the open button and they opened up and this little woman came home she said thank you now she was in a jogging suit had on

tennis shoes a jogging suit didn't have a purse with her didn't have a Bible with her uh she didn't look like she had come from the convention I thought it was just a guest at the hotel you know and maybe she'd been to the gym or maybe she'd been walking around the block getting some Exercise whatever and you know she just said Thank you and then she pushed her floor and a button for her floor and she just stood there and we're all talking you know and in a little while it opened for her floor

and she started to get out and then she reached in her pocket turned around and said brother Jerry God told me this would happen and she hands me a check and that she walks out the doors are closing almost before I can say thank You so she hands me a check he got silent in the elevator inquiring minds want to know and I looked at the check and it was $30,000 exactly what I needed to finish that project $30,000 now as far as I was concerned it was God saying surprise if I had been selecting

the person to do this I probably wouldn't Have selected the little lady with the jogging suit who had no purse and no Bible if you had been selecting the person to do this you'd have probably look for the guy with a $2,000 suit $800 shoes on you know the one who seem most likely or capable which showed me again and God's done it so many times he's got ways that you and I couldn't dream up in a thousand years amen God can do it in ways you and I couldn't dream up in a thousand years

amen and the need was met and we were right on time and we got it done praise God amen amen now that's what this verse said it said surprise us oh Lord With Your Love Not that we're surprised that his love is manifested but we're surprised at how he goes about doing it can you say Amen surprised at how the favor of God and the blessing of God man manest in our Lives look at somebody and tell them again every day a blessing day every day bless Day psalm 128 verse 5 says the Lord shall

bless thee and thou shalt see good all the days of thy life when the blessing of God is on your life you will see good good things will happen all the days of your life now once again like I said yesterday this doesn't mean you'll never have any more adversity it doesn't mean that you'll never have Challenges those things come but the blessing and the favor of God makes you Superior to them you'll be able to say like Joseph did what they meant for bad God turned into something good Hallelujah can you say Amen Lamentations

chapter 3 verse 22 and 23 it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed it's by the mercy of God the favor of God the kindness of God the Goodness of God that we're not consumed if it wasn't for God's mercy and God's goodness and God's kindness toward us we'd be consumed by what's going on in this world just like the rest of the world is but thank God we are not consumed because we have access to his Mercy his favor his goodness his kindness his Blessing and then it says and they're new

Every Morning Hallelujah can you say amen amen new favor every day new Manifestations every day praise God every day a blessing word a day now in closing this session today there's a key word connected to all this and that word is expectancy it is a proven fact that what you expect the most is what you get good or bad in the uh secular world uh you may have heard this phrase a lot of motivational speakers use it self-help Books use it Law of Attraction what you expect is what you get Hallelujah Jesus said it this

way in Matthew 88:13 for example as thou H has believed so be it done unto thee but when you truly believe you have expectancy amen if you truly believe that God is is going to meet a need in your life then you are expectant of it if you're not expectant of it you're not truly believing you're just hoping and a Wish it but if you truly believe then you're going to be expectant of it can you say Amen how many of you believed months ago that you were going to be at this convention how many

of you right along with your believing it had expectancy of it well look what happened here you are can you say amen I love the message translation here in Matthew 88:13 it says what you believed could happen has happened what you believed could happen has happened get up every day not only thanking God for the blessing and thanking God for his favor they get up every morning expecting it to manifest yeah but brother Jerry what if it doesn't happen then get up the next morning expecting it yeah but what if it doesn't happen get up

the next morning Expecting it just don't ever change your attitude about it the more you expect it the more you're going to experience it praise God can you say amen I can tell you this that the things that I have desired and believed for and expected to come to pass have always come to pass amen the Bible says if you delight yourself in the Lord he'll give you the desires of your heart you I'm I'm one of these strange guys that loves Adventure I always as a little boy I always want to jump out of
