Quit saying, “Nothing good ever happens to me.” You are highly honored and favored of God. That’s the reason the Apostle Paul calls you the elect of God. One definition of the word “elect” is “hand picked.”
You are hand picked by God. God accepted what Jesus did at Calvary; therefore, He accepted those for whom Jesus died and has made us righteousness. You are in right standing with God; therefore, expect to walk in His favor.
I walk in humility, but at the same time, I expect to be favored. I expect doors to be opened for me that might not be opened for someone else.
I expect to be blessed coming in and blessed going out. I expect to be blessed in the city and blessed in the field. Do you understand what I’m saying? Not because of what I’ve done but because of what Jesus has done.
You are an ambassador for Christ. Stop and think about it. Ambassadors of nations are highly favored and get preferential treatment. When they represent their nation, they get preferential treatment. They ride around in big cars with flags on the fenders, and they have escorts leading them to the embassy. Why? They are ambassadors.

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
