JERRY: Welcome, welcome, welcome to our broadcast today. Thank
you for joining me. I'm Jerry Savelle, and I have a great
message for you today, and I believe it's going to inspire
your faith. I'm going to take you into a line of service where
I was teaching on how you can make the prophetic word your
world. And I want to share with you some important principles
that I believe, praise God, is going to cause you to experience
what God wants to happen in your life. You know, God gives us
prophetic words so it helps create vision. The Bible says,
"Without a vision, the people perish." Now, listen to this
verse in I Thessalonians 5:19-21. It says, "Quench not
the spirit. Despise not prophesying. Prove all things.
Hold fast that which is good." Despise not prophesies. Let me
read it from the New International version. "Do not
put out the Holy Spirit's fire. Do not treat prophesies with
contempt." Contempt means lack of respect. Test everything, see
if it lines up with the Word of God, and hold on to that which
is good. So notice here, the Apostle Paul, by direction of
the Holy Spirit, says, "Do not treat prophesies or the
prophetic word with contempt." In other words, lack of respect.
When you hear the prophetic word, take it in. Just say like
I do, "Lord, I receive that." And then determine that you're
going to fight for it until it comes to pass. Now today we're
going to talk about how to do that, so you watch very closely
now as I take you into our service here at Heritage Faith
Christian Center. I want to encourage you to take notes if
at all possible. Then, I'll be in a few moments and we'll share
some very special products that we have available
for you. Watch now, and I'll be back shortly.
JERRY: Last week I talked to you about the prophetic
word becoming your world. The prophetic word
becoming your world. I want to continue on
that theme and remind you that our prophetic word this year,
days of glory, days of flourishing, and days of
abounding. Say that with me. Days of glory. CONGREGATION:
Days of glory. JERRY: Days of flourishing. CONGREGATION: Days
of flourishing. JERRY: And days of abounding. CONGREGATION: Days
of abounding. JERRY: Now that's what God wants happening in our
lives. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: He wants that prophetic
word to become your world. CONGREGATION: That's right.
JERRY: Can you say amen? CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: Now
let me just briefly go over some of the things we talked about
last week, for the benefit of those of you who were not here,
and also for the benefit of just a matter of making sure you've
got it. Praise God. In Acts, Chapter Three, and I'm going to
read it from the New International version, beginning
at Verse 24 and Verse 25: "Indeed, all the prophets from
Samuel own, as many have spoken, have foretold these days." Now
this is what Peter stood up and said to that crowd shortly after
they had been baptized in the Holy Ghost in the Upper Room.
He's out there with that crowd wondering what's going on. So he
says to them, "The prophets from Samuel own, they spoke and they
saw and foretold these days." So what the prophets, beginning
with Samuel, talked about and prophesied, Peter telling them
that today it has come to pass. CONGREGATION: Yes. JERRY: In
other words, the prophetic word has now become your world.
CONGREGATION: That's right. JERRY: Say that with me. The
prophetic word- CONGREGATION: The prophetic word- JERRY:
Became their world. CONGREGATION: Became their
world. JERRY: And then he goes on to say, "And you are heirs of
the prophets and of the covenant made with your fathers." So the
prophetic word is designed by God, obviously, to come to pass.
It's not just words, it's something that God desires to
come to pass in our lives. Hallelujah. CONGREGATION: Amen.
JERRY: Of course, there's been prophetic words spoken about our
day. Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: And the Word that the
Lord gives us each and every year. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY:
We are to take that Word- CONGREGATION: That's right. Come
on. JERRY: And do what we've learned in the Word of God, and
we'll go over some of that this morning, do what we've learned
to do from the Word of God, and cause that prophetic word to
become our world. Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: In
other words, God wants you to be able to look back at the end of
this year and be able to say, "That's exactly what happened to
me." CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: "It was days of glory, days of
flourishing, and days of abounding." CONGREGATION: Yes,
indeed. Come on. JERRY: Can you say amen? CONGREGATION: Amen.
JERRY: Now how many of you believe that's what's going to
happen to you, praise God. CONGREGATION: Amen, hallelujah.
JERRY: Say it with me. My world- CONGREGATION: My world- JERRY:
Will be- CONGREGATION: Will be- JERRY: Days of glory-
CONGREGATION: Days of glory- JERRY: Days of flourishing-
CONGREGATION: Days of flourishing- JERRY: And days of
abounding. CONGREGATION: And days of abounding. JERRY: Okay,
now let's look at some things this morning and I want you to
go first of all to II Peter 1:12-13, because I'm going to
say some things this morning that you've heard before, most
of you. I've been preaching some of the things that I'll be
saying to you this morning, I've been preaching for 49 years.
CONGREGATION: Yes. Come on. JERRY: Verse 12 says, "Wherefore
I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of
these things, though you know them and be established in the
present truth. Yea, I think it meet or necessary as long as I
am in this tabernacle to stir you up by putting you in
remembrance." So Peter's saying even though you've heard these
things from me before, and many of you are established in them,
it's my responsibility as long as I'm in this earthly
tabernacle, to keep reminding you of them and keep you stirred
up about them. CONGREGATION: Yes, sir. Amen. JERRY: Because
it's quite possible you have allowed some of them to slip.
CONGREGATION: Come on, come on. JERRY: The writer of the book of
Hebrews says that. "Less these things slip." And the body of
Christ is guilty of that. We've all been guilty of that from
time to time where we learn things, we become established in
it, and we know to do it, and we've done it and we've seen
results, and then for whatever reason we just quit doing it. It
may not have been a conscious decision you made, but you know,
sometimes you just get caught up in the things that's happening
in the world, get to watching the news too much, get to
reading the newspaper too often. I like to read the newspaper, I
really do. I look at the sports. I want to see what's going on in
my world. Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: But if I happen to
read the front page, and you know, a couple of other pages
there, my attitude is I'm redeemed from that. I'm redeemed
from that, and I'm redeemed from that. Let's get on to something
important, sports. Praise God. Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY:
So sometimes you can spend too much time dealing with worldly
things that you let spiritual truths slip. Amen. CONGREGATION:
Amen. JERRY: So let's see how that the prophetic word can
become our world. It's built upon basic principles that we've
all heard, we all know, many established in, but are you
still stirred up about it? Okay. Let's go to Hebrews 10:23. "Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for
he is faithful of that promise." Hold fast the profession of our
faith without wavering, for he is faithful of that promise. I
want to read it to you from the message translation. "Let's keep
a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps
his Word." Keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going.
Now, the prophetic word is a promise as well. Not only what
we see in the written Word, but the prophetic word also comes as
a promise from God. In fact, the Bible says men of old were moved
upon by the Holy Spirit and gave voice to what God desired, and
what God wanted to do in people's lives. CONGREGATION:
Amen. JERRY: So it became when the spoke it, it came as a
promise. CONGREGATION: Makes sense. JERRY: But they had to
hold fast to it in order for it to come to pass. So the Bible
says, "Keep a firm grip," everybody say a firm grip.
CONGREGATION: A firm grip. JERRY: Reach over and grip
somebody's hand, and grip it firmly. Amen. So, you notice
where he says, "Let us keep a firm grip." Grip
somebody's hand again. With a firm grip. He says, "Let us have
a firm grip on the promises." Now how many of you grip the
promises? Firmly? Like you would shaking somebodies hand, you
know, like a man's supposed to shake hands. He said, "Keep a
firm grip on the promises." Why? So Satan can't steal them. So no
one can deprive you of the fulfillment of them. Keep a firm
grip on the promises that keep us going. In other words, they
motivate us. They keep us on track when it looks like
nothing's happening. When it looks like nothing's working.
What I've got is a firm grip on the promise, praise God. And I'm
not going to let go of it because God always keeps His
Word. I think you ought to give Him a good shout for that,
praise God. God always keeps His word. Now, if you know what God
has promised, and how would you ever know what God has promised?
It's in the book. Amen. Read the book. All the promises of God
are "Yea" and "Amen". Hallelujah. So if you know what
God has promised then you can rest assured that He will bring
it to past. But your responsibility is keep a firm
grip on it. It's not if it happens, it's when it happens.
Can you say amen? CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: Isaiah 55:11 you're
familiar with it, but I'm going to read it to you from the
Message translation. "The words that come out of my mouth will
not come back empty handed. They'll do the work I sent them
to do. They'll complete the assignment I gave them." Every
promise of God has an assignment. CONGREGATION: Yes.
Amen. JERRY: Amen. If you find a promise from God, and you'll
find many in this book, think immediately that promise has an
assignment. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: And that assignment is
come to pass in my life. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: Say
it with me. Every promise. CONGREGATION: Every promise.
JERRY: Has an assignment. CONGREGATION: Has an assignment.
JERRY: And that assignment is. CONGREGATION: And that
assignment is. JERRY: Come to pass in my life. CONGREGATION:
Come to pass in my life. JERRY: So if God has told us that we
are going to have days of glory, days of flourishing and days of
abounding. And you keep a firm grip on it and that promise has
an assignment on it you ought to be shouting right now in
advance. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. CONGREGATION: Hallelujah. JERRY:
Praise God. Hallelujah. Every promise that God gives has an
assignment. And once again that assignment is to come to pass in
our lives. But it's our responsibility to keep a firm
grip on the promise. I know it's difficult. And I know that it
often looks as though it will never come to pass. But you
can't give up. Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: You
can't give up. Look at your neighbor and tell them, "You
can't give up." CONGREGATION: You can't give up. JERRY:
Hebrews Chapter 6 Verse 13 through 18. And the Message
translation says this: "When God made promise to Abraham he
backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line.
He said, 'I will bless you with everything that I have.'"
Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been
promised to him. Hallelujah. Amen. Abraham stuck it out and
got everything. Everybody say "Everything". CONGREGATION:
Everything. JERRY: Not somethings, not a few things,
but everything. Hallelujah. God promised Abraham things that in
the natural were impossible. But Abraham stuck it out.
CONGREGATION: Glory to God. JERRY: And he got everything
that God had promised him. I don't know what you plan to do
this year, but I'm going to stick it out. Just like I do
every year. I'm going to stick it out and my year is going to
be days of glory, days of flourishing and days of
abounding. Hallelujah. Praise God. Do you want everything that
God has promised you? CONGREGATION: Yes. JERRY: Then
make the quality decision that quitting is no longer an option.
CONGREGATION: That's right. JERRY: Now that's something
you've heard me say if you've been going to this church very
long. If you've been under out ministry very long you've heard
me say it time and time and time and time again. I've had people
ask me over the years many times, "What do you believe your
assignment is?" And I'll always say the same thing, "Talk people
into winning." Talk people into winning, praise God. Hallelujah.
That's why I preach. Talk people into winning. So, you have to
make the quality decision that quitting is no longer an option.
And the way you begin this, now here's where we get back into
some basics. Some things that you've already heard, you know.
Some of you are established in. But Peter said, "As long as I'm
in this earthly tabernacle I'm going to keep telling you these
things to keep you stirred up." Look at your neighbor and say,
"You look like you could use some stirring." CONGREGATION:
You look like you could use some stirring. JERRY: Amen. So, the
way you begin this, are you ready for this. Because some of
you not going to like it. Some of you don't want to hear it.
Watch your mouth. Oh, brother Jerry, give us something deeper.
It don't get any deeper than your own mouth. Watch what you
allow to come out of your mouth. You can't be talking days of
glory, and days of flourishing, and days of abounding and at the
same time talking lack, defeat, failure. CONGREGATION: Amen.
JERRY: James said, "My brethren you shouldn't have bitter and
blessing coming out of the same mouth." Cursing and blessing out
of the same mouth. So, you have to make the decision to put a
guard over your vocabulary. Because you can't talk any way
you want to talk anymore. Not unless you're not interested in
having God's promise fulfilled. Amen. So, one of the first
things I learned, you know, in 1969 when I came into this, and
you know, I came into it as a result of hearing Kenneth
Copeland. And I didn't know the power of words back then. I had
to learn to put a guard over my vocabulary. But the first thing
you have to do is replace it with God's Word. CONGREGATION:
That's right. JERRY: You can't just do this standing in front
of the mirror and say I won't talk negative, I won't talk
negative, I won't talk negative, I won't talk negative. You can't
do this with mind power. You can't do this with just positive
thinking. It takes the Word of God. You got to reprogram your
spirit because Jesus said in Matthew 12:34 "Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." So what's ever your
heart in abundance, that's what's going to come out of your
mouth. Brother Hagen used to say, "You know, I don't need to
spend all day with a person to locate their faith. Give me five
minutes, just listen to how they talk and in five minutes I can
locate their faith." CONGREGATION: That's right.
Amen. JERRY: Because out of the abundance of your heart your
mouth is going to speak. And if you come to church every week,
and you're hearing me or Justin or somebody else talking about
the prophetic word that God's given us and then you walk right
out of this building and go to talking to somebody on the way
to their way to the car, you know that's great but it never
happens to me. I wish it'd happen to me. You know, I don't
know what's wrong with our family. We just never have good
things happen. We just located you. CONGREGATION: That's right.
JERRY: Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: That's like, you know,
people that use foul language. You know, I was in the elevator
one time with John Osteen, we were at Kenneth Hagen's camp
meeting and we were going up to our hotel room. And we just come
out of the service, you know, and the knowing was so strong
and we're talking the Word, the sermon the Brother Hagen
preached to one another. Then the door opened and some other
guys got in and they were talking filthy language and
cursing and it was like somebody just threw a wet blanket in the
elevator. It just, you know, the atmosphere changed. And so John
just stood there with his arms folded and they were saying GD
this, and GD that, you know. And John said, "Hey, Brother Jerry,
I notice these guys have God on their hearts. They keep talking
about Him. You know Jesus?" And boy, all of a sudden I don't
know what floor they wanted to get off on, but all of a sudden
the next floor was they one they wanted. All John
said was, "I hear you ... I hear you talking
about God. Maybe you're interested,
you want to know Jesus? And boy they get off that elevator as
quick as they could, and the atmosphere became wonderful once
again, praise God. CONGREGATION: Lord, our God. JERRY: But what
really got them off the elevator was, now we know what's in your
heart in abundance, John said. CONGREGATION: Wow. JERRY: Now we
know what's in your heart in abundance. CONGREGATION: Yeah.
Yes sir. JERRY: Amen? CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: I was
standing with Brother Copeland one time out at the airport in
his hangar. We were talking airplanes, and some guys came up
and they went to using foul language and you know, then all
of a sudden one of them said, "Oh, Brother Copeland, I'm
sorry. I didn't mean to talk like that." He said, "Yes, you
did." And you know Kenneth Copeland, he don't pull any
punches. And he said, "Yes, you did." "No, no preacher, we're
sorry, if we had been thinking, we wouldn't have been using that
kind of language around you." He said, "Yes, you intended to do
that." He said, "Well, why do you say that?" He said, "Because
out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks. You
can't help it. That's the way you talk all the time, and
that's the way you talk in front of me and when you leave here,
that's the way you'll be talking then until you replace what's in
your heart." Now, how many of you are familiar with Babe's
restaurant, over in Burleson and they got one, we've taken there,
you know. We were over at Babe's one time, we took some folks
over there and we're sitting at the table, and we've ordered our
food and four more people came in and the tables are real close
and they put them right next to us. And one of the men, there
was two couples, one of the men, when he was walking to the
table, he was cussing. And when he sat down, he didn't quit
cussing. And he just went on and on and finally it got repulsive
and I turned and looked at the guy and his wife was shaking her
head. She was embarrassed by his conversation and he... just
filth, just filth. And finally she said, "Why don't you shut
up? If you can't talk without cussing, why don't you shut up?"
He did it so often, that's his heart was full of... Amen...
That he didn't even realize it was coming out of him. That's
exactly the way most Christians are. They are so full of
unbelief, they're so full of doubt, they're so full of
failure, they're so full of defeat, they're so full of
sickness, they're so full of lack, they just talk it all the
time and if you try to correct them, "Well, what'd I say?"
Hello? CONGREGATION: Hello. JERRY: How many of you want
God's best? CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: And folks, it begins with
your mouth. Glory to God. Now I've heard people say when I
start preaching about the mouth and words again, "Oh, we've got
to go back to watching what we say?" I always say, "Why'd you
ever stop?" CONGREGATION: Amen. JERRY: Why did you ever stop
watching what you say? You're going to use this revelation for
the rest of your life, if you want God's best. Come on, give
Him a shout, whether you want to hear Him or not.

JERRY: I want to thank you once again for watching our broadcast
today and I really pray that it's been a great inspiration to
your life. You know, I count it a great joy to come to you each
and every week, sharing the lessons that I've learned
myself, that I've applied for over 49 years now. And praise
God, they're still working in my life. God is no respecter of
persons, if you become the doer of the Word, like I did 49 years
ago, then praise God, you're going to get the same results. I
want to remind you once again of our special offer. This book,
The Life of Faith, I wrote this a couple of years ago, and I'm
telling you, we get great testimonies from it. And then
right along with it, If You Can Conceive It, You can Receive
It!. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it all begins
on the inside. You see the Holy Spirit is designed to take God's
Word and paint an image of it on the inside of your heart, the
canvas of your heart. And once you see it on the inside, no
devil can take it away from you so, our special resource package
this week, The Life of Faith book, and If You Can Conceive
It, You Can Receive It! Now, once again, I've been doing this
for the last few weeks. Two thousand prayer requests that I
have in my hand right here. Two thousand prayer requests that
people have written in, wanted us to pray, join them in their
faith and as I looked at some of them, again this morning, and
I've already prayed over them, and I see that the number one
request is for financial break throughs. Number two, is
healing, and number three, is relationships, restoration in
relationships. And I believe that God is in the restoration
business. He wants to restore families, He wants to restore
marriages, He wants to restore finances, He wants to restore
everything Satan has stolen from you. So if you fit in that
category and you're believing God today, I want to join my
faith with you right now. And I say, in the name of Jesus, God
will restore. Say that with me, "My God will restore." I'm
believing God with you. And I'm expecting break throughs, I'm
expecting turn arounds, I'm expecting you to have a great
testimony and when it happens, notice I didn't say, "If it
happens," when it happens, I want you to take the time to
share your testimony because as I read these testimonies, it
inspires other people and many are believing for the same
things you're believing for, and when they hear that God is doing
it for somebody else, it inspires their faith to keep
believing God. Here's one from Joanne, she said, "I listen to
the message you preached on the God of Suddenlies before going
into a job interview for a new job. Within three days, I was
hired on the spot. I am sowing my first full check as a first
fruit offering and I'm believing God, according to Mark, chapter
10 verse 30, that I will receive a hundred fold on what I've
sown." My goodness Joan, that is an amazing thing that you have
done. Sowed your first whole check into this ministry. And
you're right, Mark, chapter 10 verse 30, Jesus said, "Whenever
you give for the gospel sake, or His sake, you can expect a
hundred fold return." I join with you for that hundred fold
return in Jesus' name. And Joanne, when it happens, please
let me know, okay? Thank you for joining me
again today. We'll see you next week and until
then, remember your faith will overcome the world.
