JERRY: Welcome to our broadcast everyone, I'm Jerry
Savelle. Thank you for joining me today. And I believe, praise
God, if you play very close attention for the next few
moments, your faith is going to go to another level. We're
talking about making the decision not to quit. Listen, I
want to encourage you today, don't ever quit. Don't give up
on God, don't give up on his Word. God is faithful. Say that
with me, God is faithful. You know, I've been serving him for
48 years now. And I have never had him to disappoint me, I have
never had to say, "It's not worth it anymore, I quit." No,
that has never taken place because God has always come
through. He wants to do the same for you. But, you have to make
the decision, that quit is no longer an option. I want to
encourage you, make that decision today. Let me read
something to you from Psalm 31, versus 23 and 24. I'm reading
from the King James version, first of all. "Oh love the Lord,
all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he
shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." The
Message translation says it this way. "Love God all you saints,
God takes care of all who stay close to him. Be brave, be
strong, and don't give up." Let me say that again, be brave, be
strong, and don't give up. That's what we're talking about
on this weeks broadcast. We've been talking about it for
several weeks now. I'm taking you into a service when I was
preaching along these same lines about not quitting, and the
Southwest Believers Convention sponsored by Kenneth Copeland
Ministries. Brother Copeland has been doing this meeting here in
Fort Worth for many, many years. Over 30 years, and I've been
privileged to be a speaker in each and every one of those
meetings. This year, it was a very special conference.
Powerful anointing, and I believe it's been captured on
film. And it's going to come right into your home, or
wherever it is that you may be watching this broadcast today. I
want to encourage you, if possible take notes. If not,
pray and say, "Lord, bring all things to my remembrance." And
then as soon as you get a chance, jot down the notes, jot
down the scripture references, and study them again because God
wants you to be a winner. God does not intend for anyone, in
the body of Christ, to lose and to be defeated. God wants you to
be a winner. So, let's watch now as we talk about,
once again, making the decision not to quit.
JERRY: I've had opportunity, many times, to throw in
the towel so to speak. But that's not the way I
think anymore. I don't think in terms of quitting, I don't
think in terms of giving up. I want to show you something here
right now, that took place in my life back in September. I was
about to turn 70 years old in December. I hadn't had a
physical in quite a while. And every time I would try to set up
an appointment, they couldn't do it on the dates that I was in
town, then when they could do it I was out of town. It got very
frustrating trying to set a date. I know that's not right, I
should have been more persistent. But, it just didn't
fit into my schedule because I'm going 20-22 days out of every
month. Finally, when I went to have the physical, they
discovered that in this main artery in my neck where the
blood flows to the brain, it was between 75% and 90% blocked. I
didn't have a clue. I never had any symptoms, I had no idea
anything was wrong with me. I've enjoyed divine health all these
years. And I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't gone and got a
physical. So, when I'm laying there, he says "I would
recommend that you have surgery to remove the plaque build up."
He said, "It's a routine surgery, we'll take you in and
we'll do and incision on your neck, remove the plaque. And
you'll be in the hospital maybe a day and a half, and then
you'll go home and take a couple weeks or so in recovery. Be
okay." I thought, "Well, fine." You know, as far as I was
concerned, it was God extending my life because I had been
confessing all these years, with long life, he satisfies me.
Amen. So, we scheduled the surgery. And on September the 27
of 2016, I went into surgery. The last thought I had before
going in, into the operating room. This is routine, they'll
clean the plaque out, I'll be in the hospital a day and a half.
I'll be back home, and then I'll be back on my feet and continue
preaching just like I always have. However, while I was in
the operating room, I didn't know this for ... I don't know,
a couple of days or something. I didn't know what had happened.
But some of the plaque broke off, and went through that
artery to my brain and caused a stroke. I wasn't aware of
anything that had happened. Let me show you some pictures here.
Put those up on the screen. This is me just after coming out of
surgery. I don't know ... Not only did I lose the use of my
right arm, but total memory loss. I don't know my wife, I
don't know my children. Only word I could say was, "Yes."
Brother Copeland came. Show that picture of Brother Copeland
there. Now, he was there for quite some time. Him and George,
Pastor George came. And they were there quite some time with
me, and I do not remember one thing they said. However, my
wife told me the whole time they were there even though I
couldn't speak any English except one word, "Yes." I was
able to pray in tongues the whole time they were there.
Thank God for that. Amen. See, praying in tongues is not
dependent on my mind. That's coming out of my spirit. And I
prayed in tongues the whole time Brother Copeland was there. So,
finally, the doctor came in one day and he points at Carolyn
and says, "Who is that?" And I looked, and I couldn't answer.
He pointed at Terri and said, "Who is that?" I looked at her
and couldn't answer. I couldn't think of her name. And he
pointed at Jerriann my oldest daughter over here. And he said,
"Who is that?" And I couldn't answer. Jerriann, she like her
momma, she's feisty. She got up, right in my face, "Daddy, I'm
your first born, you know who I am." I don't know where this
came from, I have no idea where this came from I said,
"Jerriann, Obama." Then I pointed to Terri and I said,
"Terri, Obama. Carolyn, Obama." That was the last thing I said.
I don't know where the Obama come from. I guess the Lord was
just preparing me that he was on his way out, I don't know. Jesse
and Cathy came. Show that picture of Jesse and Cathy.
There he is. Now, by this time, I'm starting to recover some.
Look at that smile on my face. In fact, when Jesse walked in I
started crying because my brother came to see me. My daddy
just left, but my brother came. I love Jesse, I love my daddy. I
love Brother Copeland, I mean I love Brother Copeland. But Jesse
and I, like he said, we should have been biological brothers.
And when Jesse and Cathy came in the room, I teared up. Jesse did
too. He may not tell that part, but I saw that tear. Of course,
Brother Copeland brought faith in the hospital. Jesse brought
joy in the hospital, hallelujah. Faith and joy, that's a winning
combination. Hallelujah. Amen. Shortly after that, the doctor
came in, I overheard him say, "If he shows improvement
tomorrow, we'll release him and let him go home." I heard that
and I couldn't communicate, but I heard what he said. I remember
thinking, I don't know what he wants to see in the way of
improvement. But whatever it is, I'm going to make it happen
because if I can get out of this hospital, and get back in my own
environment, I will recover. And I will recover quickly,
hallelujah. So, after the doctor left, my grand daughter Rachel,
and Carolyn, I pointed over to my robe. And indicated that I
wanted them to give me my robe. And Rachel got my robe and put
it around me. I indicated that I wanted to get out of the bed.
Faith without corresponding actions is more to power. I'm
not going to lay there and accept this, I'm not going to
give up. I'm not going to quit. I haven't finished my course.
Amen. So, they put the robe on me. And indicated that I wanted
out of the bed, and I wanted to walk. Rachel went around the
quarter of that wing of that hospital with me. I've got to
hold this arm up like this, if I let go of it just fell. Now, I'm
not walking like I am now. I'm just shuffling along there,
holding this arm up. And walking around that hospital. I think
they got a picture of that. Now, look also what I'm doing. I got
that left hand on this right arm, and I'm making it work.
See, it wouldn't work on its own. I couldn't move my fingers,
if I dropped my arm, my right arm, it just fall. And I'd have
to pick it up like this. So, I walked around that quarter
several times. Rachel thought one lap around there, I'd
probably want to get back in bed. Nope, quit is not in me.
And we just kept walking, and kept walking. Well, by the next
day, the doctor apparently saw what he needed to see and he
released me and let me go home. Now, I'm not ... I'm still not
even close to recovered. I'm on my way. The last thing that
happened before I left the hospital, my son-in-law Rodney
he came up to me, come over to the bed, and he said, "Dad, I
want to make sure I understood you correctly this morning
before the doctor came in. That '67 corvette that you have at
home in your shop, you know the one that's totally restored and
your favorite corvette." And I'm just looking at him, I'm just
listening to him. Up to this point, I've only said yes. But,
Rodney said, "Now dad, I want to get this straight. You said this
morning, you're giving that to me correct." And
I turned and looked at him, and I said, "No." And
Rodney said, "Okay, he's getting better. He can go home
now." So, they released me to go home the next day. Show that
picture. FEMALE: Going home! Woo hoo! JERRY: There I am on my
way out. Now, when I got home, Rachel and Carolyn became my
coaches. And we'd go into our den there, and I'd sit at the
table. And they'd take a piece of putty, clay putty, whatever
you call it, and they put coins in it. Had them in there. And
I'd take my hand and lay it on top of that coin, and try to
rake the coins out of the clay. It was very hard. Rachel come
in there one day, and she put them coins in there again. And
she said, "Okay paw paw, do what you supposed to do." And I just
sat there. She said, "Paw paw, get the coins out." And I looked
at her and said, "I don't want to play anymore." Then I told
Rachel, I said, "Take me to my shop." Carolyn says, "Quit
calling it a shop, it's a museum." It's full of classic
automobiles, and classic motorcycles. It is a museum. I
said, "Rachel, take me to my shop." So, we went there, and we
unlocked the door. And I walked in, and I decided that I was not
going to leave that building until I started everything in
there. The classic motorcycles, the hot rods, the cars, the
corvettes, the classics, everything. I told her, I said,
"I'm leaving this building until I start everything in here.
Watch this." Now, this is one of my newer ones, it's a new Indian
motorcycle. Now, look, I'm trying to figure it out. And I
prayed in the Spirit because I couldn't remember how to start
it. Now, look at that grin, hallelujah. I knew the devil
went too far when he went to messing with my motorcycles. I
started every bike in there, and I started every car in that
shop. The smell of fumes was exhilarating, hallelujah. When I
walked out of that garage and locked it, I took my first step
toward the house, and all of a sudden, this came in my mind.
"The memory of the upright is blessed." The memory of the
upright is blessed. Proverbs 10:7. Amen. I went in the house
quoting that, and from that moment, I started getting my
memory back. I didn't even realized when we locked the door
to the shop that I got my arm back. Praise God. Amen. Got my
arm back, amen. Do I look like a man who had a stroke? I walked
in the house, and all of the sudden, all the scriptures
started come back to me. I'd wake up in the middle of the
night, with sermons running through my mind praise God. I'd
get up and go find my notebook, and see if all those sermons
that I'd preached over the years, if I was remember the way
I wrote them, praise God. Amen. And in just a matter of a few
weeks, watch this? I'm with Richard Roberts, he's preaching
in my ministers conference. And I am preaching once again,
praise God. And shortly after that, Joe McCroskey, my
international director and I, left the country and went to
five different nations and preached every day for 26 days,
hallelujah. I hadn't quit since, glory to God! Amen. I said,
amen. Hallelujah. Glory! Come on! Somebody give the Lord a
shout! Winners don't quit! I said, winners don't quit! You
know, I've seen a lot of people since that happened. I've been
in restaurants and see people come in who had strokes. And see
the damage that that stroke caused. And I'd say, if it
hadn't been for the word of faith, that'd be me. I also
remembered that every member of my mothers family, including my
mother, died with strokes. The curse has been broken. The curse
has been broken! Somebody shout unto God, hallelujah! Glory to
God. Now, let me wrap it up with this. This verse became so
important to me when I was recovering. Romans 15, verse 13
from the New Living Translation. I pray that God, the source of
your hope will fill you completely with joy and peace
because you trust in him. Let me read it agan. Romans 15:13 from
the New Living Translation. I pray that God the source of hope
will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust
in him. Now, I held onto that scripture and heres what I
wrote. See, the word is medicine to your flesh. Here's what I
wrote on October the 18th. I mean, October the 8th. Now
that's a matter from the time I got home, maybe six days
after I got home. Seven days something like that.
I am completely filled with joy, and I am completely
filled with peace because I trust in him. Negative
circumstances do not move me. I'm only moved by what I
believe, and I believe God's Word. I am confident that my
health will be restored, and I will finish my course with joy.
I'm growing stronger each day, and nothing less than total
recovery is acceptable. I cling to the promises of God, and I
expect years to be added to my life. Proverbs 3:1-3, "My
son forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments
for length of days and long life, and peace shall be added
to thee." Proverbs 4:10, I believe, "Here oh my son and
receive my sayings. And the years of thy life shall be
many." Proverbs 9:11, "For by me, thy day shall be multiplied,
and the years of thy life shall be increased." Psalm 91, "With
long life I will satisfy him. He watches me, he satisfies me with
long life, he watches over me, causes me to fulfill my days in
the earth, he will never forsake me. Nor will he allow my
adversary to triumph over me." Isaiah 54:17, Amplified
"Triumph over opposition, he is my heritage" according to
Philippians or Psalm 9:4, "God has maintained my right and my
calls. And he did not allow my adversaries attack on my life to
succeed." According to Psalm 20, "The Lord heard me in the day of
my trouble, he saved me and gave me strength. Oh, how great is
his goodness unto me. I confess that he has not only restored my
life, but he has restored my ministry." Proverbs 10:7, the
memory of the just is blessed. I remember everything I've
learned, nothing that he has taught me will be forgotten. The
Holy Spirit supernaturally gives me recall, and brings all things
to my remembrance. In honor of what my God has done for me, I
decree according to Psalm 119 and verse 17 ... Psalm 118 verse
17, I shall not die but live, and declare the works of my God.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. And God's no
respecter of persons. His Word is medicine to
your flesh. But, do you possess a determined
persistent, unwavering, refuse to quit, kind of faith. You come
too late folks, I'm not accusing you but you come too late when
you tell me that face stuff doesn't work. I'm a walking
miracle, hallelujah. I'm a walking miracle. Not only that,
praise God. Not only has he restored my life, but he's given
me new vitality. I'm doing more now than I was before all this
happened. Haven't got quit on my mind. Retiring? Are you kidding?
I'm refiring, hallelujah. Brother Copeland is 80. He told
me 48 years ago, that God said we'd be a team, travel all over
the world together. Preaching the Gospel. If he plans to be
around until he's 120, then that'd make me 110 because he's
10 years older than me. So, we invite you in advance to the
Believers Convention of the 120 and the 110 year old faith
preachers. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Come on, give the Lord your
best shout. Hallelujah! I want all the winners in
the house to stand to your feet, and give
the Lord your best shout. Hallelujah!

JERRY: God is doing great things in lives of people
all over the world, and he wants to do the same thing for you. I
want you to sit down and write to me if God has come through
for you, if God has manifested a miracle in your life, a major
break through in your life. Or just a simple thing as God gave
you a parking place right up front and you didn't have to
walk a mile to the mall. That's the favor of God, I want to hear
about it because as I read it and share it across this
broadcast, it inspires the faith of others. So, I want to
encourage you, share your testimony with me. Here's a
couple we received recently, one is from Barbara. She said, "I
called your ministry, and your staff prayed for me for my
husbands healing from cancer. And God healed him." Praise God,
Barbara. We rejoice with you. They also agree with me for my
grandson and daughter, to find a job. They both found jobs, and
were blessed with even more. Thank God, and thank you and
your staff for agreeing with us in prayer. God is doing great
things. Praise God, Barbara. Once again, we rejoice with you.
Here's one from Willy. He says, "I came to preach at his church
up in Ontario back in May of 2017. After hearing your
message, I felt led to partner with your ministry. After
partnering with your ministry, I began to declare that I was
flourishing in every area of my life. Especially financially.
I've been a tither and a sower for years, but I've never
noticed a harvest. I started doing what you talked about,
calling in my harvest. Having my angels to work in my behalf, and
six days after that, I received a financial breakthrough. I
tithed, I gave an offering, and also had an opportunity to go
shopping for clothes. With the rest that I found deal, after
deal, after deal. That was the favor of God. Thank you Brother
Savelle for encouraging everyone that you preach to. Praise God."
Thank you, Willy for sharing that with us. We rejoice with
you. And once again, God is no respecter of persons. He
wants you to have a financial breakthrough as well. Listen,

resource package Master Life's Challenges Instead of Them
Mastering You. Three CD's, and then the little book, Going for
the Gold. Order them today. This is the last time we're going to

away. Don't forget, next week, we're going to begin a brand new
series of messages. You don't want to miss it, tell somebody
about the broadcast. Once again, thank you partners for believing
in us, thank you for supporting the ministry. We'll see you next
week, and remember this, your faith will overcome the world.
ANNOUNCER: Next week ... JERRY: That's why it's so important
when you need a breakthrough, stay before the Father. Stay
before the Father. Stay before the Lord, amen.
Because he knows exactly what to do, he knows
exactly where to send you. He knows exactly
when and where your breakthrough will take place.
