Fire is a consuming force that when ignited, it will intensify and grow. As we allow God to ignite within us His vision, purpose, and dreams for our life, it will begin to intensify and grow until it completely consumes our very being.
As with fire, your dream needs ignition and fuel to burn. God will ignite a dream in your heart, but you must continually add the fuel of the Word of God to your dream in order to keep it burning.
Let Your Dream Consume You
There will be opportunities for other people, the enemy, and even yourself to try to throw water on your dreams, but you must continually protect and feed your dream until it comes to pass. Be determined now to let that fire motivate you, drive you and consume you to keep your dreams alive!
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” People without a vision are nonproductive people! There is nothing more tragic than to let go of your vision and have no drive, no motivation, and no fire!
You can get around certain people and know in five minutes that they have no vision! Why? They have no fire! They have no drive! No motivation! They are just…existing! Their favorite scripture is “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!” They just want out!
An Exciting Call
When you spend time in God’s Word and realize that God has called you for a purpose, there is a zeal or a fire that burns on the inside of you. Just knowing that God thinks so much of you that He called you to fulfill this calling should excite you!
Some people have the attitude of “Well, I’ve tried this or that and nothing happened.” That’s not an excuse to give up! The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
We need to constantly refresh ourselves in the scriptures (add fuel to the fire). Go out of your way to spend time with the Lord and read His Word. You have to stir yourself up in the Word.
God Wants To Use You
It is very easy to become relaxed and not go after anything, but you have to hunger for more of God’s Word and hunger for your dreams to be fulfilled. Don’t just settle for a life with no purpose! God wants to use you!
God responds to hunger. He wants you to hunger and thirst for this vision. Don’t just say, “If it happens, it happens.” Go after it! Jesus said, “When you are hungry and thirsty, you shall be filled.”
Don’t wait any longer! God is waiting on you to get that fire back in your life and hunger to see this dream fulfilled!

Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God's help. While he considered himself a "nobody," when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God's faithfulness and Dr. Savelle's "no quit" attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago.
Since 1969, Dr. Savelle traveled the world teaching people how to win in life. Dr. Savelle ministered in more than three thousand churches and in twenty-six nations, and has overseas offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
God used Dr. Savelle to impact people who are burned out on religion and who have backslidden in their walk with God, as well as Christians who have a need to hear the Word of God presented in terms applicable to their lives, dreams, and destinies. He hosted the Jerry Savelle Ministries television broadcast which airs in two hundred countries worldwide.
Dr. Savelle authored more than forty books, including his bestsellers, If Satan Can't Steal Your Joy, He Can't Keep Your Goods and You're Somebody Special to God. He served as one of the founding Pastors of Heritage of Faith Christian Center in Crowley, Texas.
Jerry J. Savelle, 77, went home to be with the Lord on April 15, 2024. He spent his last day on earth fulfilling his purpose teaching people the Word of God
