JERRY: Hello everyone. I'm Jerry Savelle. Welcome to our
broadcast today. We certainly appreciate you watching and
today I have with me my wife Carolyn. We have been married
for 51 years and we are so blessed to the Lord. And I
wanted her to join me today in wishing you a Happy New Year, a
Merry Christmas, and we just thank each and every one of you
for watching our broadcast and especially those of you that are
partners with us, thank you for believing in this ministry,
thank you for believing in the call of God on our lives.
CAROLYN: As I was praying this morning I came across this
scripture and I wanted to read it to you. "If they obey and
serve Him they spend their days in prosperity and their years
in pleasure." That is the will of God for us, to spend our days
and our years enjoying the fruits and the goodness of our
God. And I want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
to all of you who support us. We really do appreciate it. JERRY:
Amen. And listen, I want to read a scripture to you as well. This
is what I'm praying for each and every one of you in this coming
New Year. Psalm 115:12-15. It says, "The Lord has been mindful
of us, he will bless us." It goes on to say, "And the Lord
shall increase you more and more you and your children." That's
our prayer for you in this coming New Year that God's
blessing will overtake you, that you will experience increase
beyond anything you've ever experienced before and praise
God, we're expecting testimonies of that from you as we get into
the New Year. And listen, stay tuned, in just a few moments
I'll be back with today's message.
JERRY: Hey, welcome back and thank you once again
for watching our broadcast. You know we believe
that the program that you are about to see is going to
inspire your faith and challenge you to dare to believe God no
matter how impossible your situation may seem. I'm going to
take you into a service where I was preaching about keys to a
miraculous breakthrough. This is the Southwest Believers
Convention sponsored by Kenneth Copeland Ministries and I'm
privileged to be a speaker in that conference each and every
year and I trust that the message that you are about to
hear once again is going to inspire your faith and challenge
you to believe God no matter how impossible your situation may
seem. I'm going to take you into 1 Kings Chapter 17, talking
about Elijah and the little widow who needed a major
breakthrough in her life. So, pay very close attention as you
watch, mark the scriptures in your Bible as you listen to them
and if at all possible take notes because what you're about
to hear is a proven principle from the Word of God that you
will experience a breakthrough in your life if you become more
than a hearer of the Word you be a doer of the Word. So get ready
and watch now as I take you into this
message on keys to a miraculous breakthrough.
JERRY: 1 Kings chapter 17 and verse two. "And
the word of the Lord came unto him saying," this is Elijah,
"Get thee hence and turn thee eastward and hide thyself by the
brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be that
thou shalt drink of the brook and I have commanded the Ravens
to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word
of the Lord for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that
is before Jordan. And the Ravens brought him grid and flesh in
the morning and bread and flesh in the evening and he drank of
the brook. And it came to pass after a while that the brook
dried up because there had been no rain in the land. And the
word of the Lord came unto him saying ..." Now notice every
time Elijah needed a breakthrough the word of the
Lord came. Everybody say the word of the Lord. CONGREGATION:
The word of the Lord. JERRY: The word of the Lord came to him
each time as we follow this story here, and in obedience to
that word, then the breakthrough came, the miracle came. "And the
word of the Lord came unto him saying, arise get thee to
Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon and dwell there, behold I
have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he
arose and went to Zarephath and when he came to the gate of the
city, behold the widow woman was there gathering of sticks and he
called to her and said, fetch me I pray thee a little water in a
vessel that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it he
calleth to her and said, bring me I pray thee a morsel of bread
in thine hand. And she said as the Lord our God lives I have
not a cake but a handful of mill in a barrel and a little oil in
a cruise. And behold I am gathering two sticks that I may
go in and dress it for me and my son that we may eat and die." It
seems like God forgot to tell him that part. God had already
spoken to her and all Elijah had to do was be obedient. "Elijah
said unto her, fear not, go and do as thou has said but make me
there of a little cake first and bring it unto me and after make
for thee and thy son." But notice, "For thus sayeth the
Lord." The Lord God of Israel "The barrel of mill shall not
waste neither shall the cruise of oil fail, until the day that
the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did."
She went and did. Say that with me. CONGREGATION: She went and
did. JERRY: According to the word of Elijah. And what did he
say? It was the word of the Lord. "And she
and he and her house did eat many days and
the barrel of mill wasted not neither did the cruise
of oil fail according to the word of the Lord, which he
spake unto Elijah." Notice here a couple of very important
ingredients you might say to a major breakthrough in your life.
Number one, a word from the Lord. A word from the Lord. None
of this would have happened if there hadn't been a word of the
Lord first. That's why it's so important when you need a
breakthrough 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. You ought to pray often, Lord,
put me in the right place at the right time. Put me in the right
place at the right time. And notice here the word from the
Lord was vitally important for this breakthrough both for
Elijah and for her and her son. The Lord said to me coming
into 2017, the faithful shall flourish and it will be like
days of heaven on earth. The faithful shall flourish.
Faithful people, people that won't quit, we've been talking
about in my day services, quit is not an option. Quitting is
unacceptable. You never get rewarded for quitting. Faithful
people don't quit. Faithful people stick with it. Faithful
people so even when it seems like in the natural it's not
feasible. Notice this little woman says, I only have enough
for me and my son. We're going to eat it and then die. Don't
you think Elijah might have thought, boy, did I make a wrong
turn somewhere. God told me to come down here and this widow
woman would sustain me and I get here and she's about to eat the
last meal she has and then she and her son plan on dying. Am I
in the wrong place? Many times it looks like before the
breakthrough comes that there's no evidence that the
breakthrough will ever come. Can you say amen. CONGREGATION:
Amen. JERRY: But he was in the right place and he was at the
right time. But notice once again the most important element
in this breakthrough was a word from the Lord. Every time I've
needed a breakthrough, I spent time in the presence of God and
I got the Word of the Lord and when we did what he said, the
breakthrough came, praise God. Amen. The breakthrough came.
When the Lord said that to me in October of 2016, then I began to
confess it immediately because I have endeavored to be faithful
all these years. And God's blessed me and God's caused me
to flourish and so forth, but sound like to me he was ready to
take us to another level. Amen, there's always another level.
Amen. There's always another level. When you think you have
reached the top, there's always another level. But if you never
spend quality time with him and you never hear that word from
the Lord it's not likely that you'll ever experience that
breakthrough. Can you say Amen. So notice here the most
important element of this miracle that both she and her
son experienced and Elijah as well was a word from the Lord.
Notice Elijah received that word to go to that brook. And the
Bible says, the ravens sustained him. They brought food, they
brought food for him to live on. Most people wouldn't think in
terms of God would use the birds but he did and even when the
brook dried up God was already ahead of that. He already had
plans for where he needed to go next and he said, you go to
Zarephath, there's a widow woman there, I have commanded her to
sustain thee. Amen. And when he gets there it certainly doesn't
look like that she's capable of doing this but notice he
encouraged her. Even though you're down to your last cake,
don't eat it, sow it. Don't eat it, sow it. Amen. That was the
word of the Lord to her. Don't eat it, sow it. And the Bible
says, "And as she went." I love that story because I don't
notice in here that she contemplated for about three
months, came back to him and said, I think maybe you've heard
God that's what I'll do. As she went. When he said that, she
didn't hesitate. Too many times we want to bargain with God as
if God didn't know what he was doing. The moment that she heard
that word she went. She was obedient and that's the second
most important element is if you need a major breakthrough in
your life get the word of the Lord. Don't just start doing
anything and everything, get the word of the Lord. And the moment
you get it, then be obedient to do it. Amen. She was willing to
obey, as she went. And the Bible says, "As she went, she and he
and her house did eat many days and the barrel of mill wasted
not neither did the cruise of oil fail according to the word
of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah." Did it happen, did it
come to pass, did she get her breakthrough? Did God honor his
Word? He always honors his Word. Amen. And a third ingredient
that I see here is this, an unwavering faith that God would
honor what he said. So number one, a word from the Lord.
Number two, a willingness to obey and number three an
unwavering faith that God would honor his Word. Amen. I have a
great airplane that takes care of my needs here in the U.S. and
boy, I'm really enjoying it. God gave it to me, praise God. It's
a great blessing to my life. It protects the anointing on me,
hallelujah and we're certainly thanking God every time we get
in that airplane and what a blessing it is. But I travel
overseas the majority of the time. A number of years ago I
started believing and sowing seed toward an international
jet. At one point I thought, well, maybe I don't need an
international jet anymore. All my offices were doing well. I
thought I'd pretty fulfilled everything the Lord told me to
do overseas. I had an easel in my office with a picture of the
jet I was believing for, international jet. I had Romans
four on there about God calleth things that be not as though
they were. And every time I'd go in my office, I'd lay my hands
on that, it's a beautiful big easel of that jet, I had a model
of it made and set on my desk and every time I'd walk in my
office I'd lay my hands on that easel and I lay my hands on that
model and thank God for that jet. And then like said one day
I just kind of thought, what do I need with an international
jet. Maybe we can do this other ways and so forth. One day the
Lord said, whose idea was that? And the way he was talking I
knew better than to say yours. It was my idea not his. And I
had put that easel in the closet. And he said, go to your
closet in my office, go to your closet and get your dream out of
the closet. That hit me like a ton of bricks. I walked in there
and I dusted that easel off and I brought it back out and set it
there were it had been setting for some time and dusted that
model off and I said, the Lord told us Carolyn to get our dream
out of the closet. That he's not through yet with us in aviation,
praise God. And he's not through blessing us with aircraft. I've
been thinking about it the last several weeks. Every airplane
that God's ever put in this ministry came by the word the
Lord, instructions as to what to do, being willing to obey those
instructions and sowing my best seed. Every time. Every major
breakthrough that I've ever experienced. First, the word of
the Lord. Secondly, a willingness to obey and third,
sow the best seed I had. Amen. Today I was praying about the
service and the Lord said, "How serious are you about that
international jet?" I said, "I'm real serious." He said, "Why
aren't you doing what you've been doing all these years?" He
said, "Do you have enough money to pay cash for it now?" I said,
"No." He said, "You remember the three dollars Carolyn had and it
didn't meet her need and so it became seed." He said, "You got
a quarter of a million. What are you going to do with that?" I
said, "By the way you're talking it sounds like it's becoming
seed." Amen. I talked to Carolyn today and I said we've got the
money and I want to be part of the reason why Brother Copeland
has that G5. And so, we're going to take what we've got in that
aviation account and we're going to sow it. Amen. And you know
what's about to happen to me, my barrel of mill will waste not
and my cruise of oil will not fail. Hallelujah, Amen. A
miracle breakthrough praise God. Amen. And some of you may be
down to the bottom of the barrel. That's not a bad place
to be when you know God, when you know the Word. Now for
people that don't know God and they don't know the Word, that's
a real bad place to be. But when you know God and you know the
word, then apparently there is nothing else you can do in the
natural to change your circumstances. But you don't
live in the natural. You live in the supernatural. You walk by
faith and not by sight, hallelujah. Amen. So I challenge
you tonight that if you're down to your last cake, don't eat
it, don't eat it. Sow it. Brother Jerry, you don't know
what you're asking. Well, if you're not at the place where
you can do it, then hold on to it. Pray about it. But I pray
some day you'll get to the place that it becomes a way of life to
you. That you don't even think twice, you don't even bat your
eye. Every major breakthrough we have ever had in the ministry
has come just this way and personally just this way. We
found out what God wanted us to do, we got the word of the Lord
and then we were willing to obey and then with an unwavering
faith we did it. And God has never let us down. Never let us
down. Praise God. I believe something has broken in the
spirit realm tonight. I believe there are supernatural
breakthroughs that are own our horizon, praise God. Wouldn't
surprise me if some of you had some before you even left this
convention, praise God. Amen, Amen. So I'm going to ask you to
pray about following the Bible example. Get the word of the
Lord. Is God speaking to you tonight about sowing seed into
this ministry and all the things that they're believing God for.
What better ground could you find. I've never sown in this
ministry that I didn't reap harvest. Is God speaking to you?
Are you willing to obey? Is your faith at the level where you'll
do it without hesitation, without reservation, unwavering
faith. Amen. And apparently when this woman went, she went
expecting. Why would you do that and not expect results. She
already told the prophet all I have is just a little bit here,
we're going to eat it and die. But when he gave her the word
the Lord, she just got up and went. You wouldn't do that if
you didn't expect something to happen. Can you say amen. How
many of you have expectancy in your heart today. How many of
you believe God wants you to flourish, praise God. Amen. That
it's going to become in your life like days of heaven on
earth. Glory to God. So tonight, I'll preach the other sermon in
the morning or whatever my next time is but tonight I'd like for
you to follow my example. Follow me as I follow the Lord. Sow
your best seed believing that your barrel of mill is not going
to waste and your cruise of oil is not going to fail and that
God will multiply and you're going to live many days on the
harvest, hallelujah. Can you say amen. Give
the Lord a shout if you believe it and if you
receive it. Amen. Praise God, Hallelujah.

JERRY: I want to say it again. God is the
God of the breakthrough. Don't ever give up on
God, don't ever give up on his Word. I enjoy
hearing testimonies of people just like you that are receiving
miracles in their life, breakthroughs in their lives,
answered prayer and I always enjoy reading them and I enjoy
sharing them with our viewing audience because I know that
when other people besides just me are having miracles in their
life it inspires people of faith. I know that when I share
a miracle that's taken place in my life you might say well,
that's you because you're a preacher. It's not because I'm a
preacher. I know a lot of preachers that are not having
miracles, it's because I'm a believer. But here, here's
someone that's not a preacher, it's a person just like you and
they're sharing with us how that they too have experience
breakthroughs from God. This is from Lou Anne. She says I wrote
about four months ago for prayer for my sister Lisa and I wanted
to update you. She was diagnosed with grade four lung cancer. The
tumor in her left lung was half the size of her lung. The doctor
told us it was a rare cancer and that there wasn't a chemo drug
to kill it. However, I want to say that God has done the
miraculous. The tumor has begun shrink half the size, praise
Jesus. I want to say God bless you and all that work for you
and keep my sisters in prayer because we know that God is
going to finish this work. And Lou Anne, we thank God for that
testimony and we praise God that he is doing a great miracle in
your sister's life. Here's one from Gloria. My son and his wife
had a situation trying to sell their home and finding a new
home. Four days after writing a prayer of petition, the book we
received from your ministry the Lord answered my prayer and my
son's prayer and now their house has sold and they're in their
brand new home and it certainly is an upgrade, God does answer
prayers. And praise God, he'll answer your prayers as well.
Don't ever give up on God. Say it with me, my God is the God of
the breakthrough. Say it again, say it out loud. My God is the
God of the breakthrough. That's what our special offer is about
this week. Get to know the God of the breakthrough. Three
powerful CD's. Anointed teaching. I'm telling you it
will inspire your faith. I don't think you're going to be able to
put it down once you start listening to it and I believe
praise God that as you listen to it, you'll get to know the God
of the breakthrough more intimately and then you'll begin
to believe that he can break through for you. So order your
copies today. Thank you once again for watching our
broadcast. We'll see you again next week and until then,
don't ever forget your faith will overcome the world.
ANNOUNCER: Next week. JERRY: We talk about the word of Faith, we
talk about the law of faith and here the Apostle Paul is talking
about the spirit of faith. Now, I said many, many years ago and
I believe I learned this from Brother Copeland, it's one thing
to hear the word of Faith, it's one thing to operate in the law
of faith but the spirit of faith is something to have to
catch. It's something that comes on you and enables
you to live by it for the rest of your life.
