Know Where You're Going

WHAT is your dream today? Has it become blurred?

Have circumstances, adversities, what people say, what the media says, or what the economy says affected your dream? Have you carried the dream for about six months only to decide that it will never come to pass and then abort it? Or is that dream still somewhere deep down on the inside of you?

If it is, then it's time to cultivate it. It's time to create a proper atmosphere in your life so that your dream will become a reality.

It's important that you know that before you can change your present situation, you've got to look ahead to where you want to be. You can't focus all of your attention on your present circumstances. In other words, you need to know where you're going so you can set your goals for getting there.

...Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Habakkuk 2:2

Write the vision. I don't believe God put that in the Bible for us to over look. The only way to know where you're going is to keep the vision before you.

Anytime the adversary says it will never come to pass, you can pull it out and say, "It is written!" If you're in a leadership role, then everybody involved in what you're doing needs to know the vision. This goes for the head of the family as well.

Everybody in that house needs to know the vision. You need to spell it out. "Here's what we're believing God for."

If you don't know where you're headed, then you'll probably wind up somewhere else. Hebrews 11 says that God is an Architect and a Builder. Architects and builders have plans. God didn't just decide one day, "Well, Jerry Savelle is going to be a preacher," and not have a plan. God's had a plan all along. Noah had a plan for the Ark.

Moses had a plan for the tabernacle.

Solomon had a plan for the temple. And God has a plan for your life.

Every time you read the vision that God has put in your heart, it enables you to run with it. It keeps you focused. It motivates you. It propels you forward. What has God told you to do? What causes you to be motivated, to look forward to rising up each and every day? What puts a dance in your step and a smile on your face? If you haven't had anything like that in years, then it's time to get away with God. You've got to shut yourself away at times, find a place in your house that produces the greatest peace in your life and allow that place to become your prayer closet. Find a place in your house where there's tranquillity, and make that "your spot".

Tranquillity will keep you creative. In other words, you'll hear the plan of God.

Just like Noah, Moses, and Solomon, you'll have a plan.

Once you get it—then write it down and run with it. Don't ever give up until it becomes a reality.

Chapter 2

Get God's Image on the Inside

EVERY dream that God drops in your heart begins with a picture of that dream before it becomes a reality. In other words, you have to see it on the inside.

When you study the Bible, and you see a promise of God, then that promise is designed by the Holy Spirit to paint a picture on the inside of you. Words create images.

The Word of God says, "I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health." The Holy Spirit will take that scripture, those God inspired words, and create an image on the inside of you.

You will begin to have an image of health and prosperity and then you must perfect that image through constant fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit. Your image is going to become more real on the inside of you, than what's happening on the outside.

The Bible says that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. God's Word is designed to paint images. I like to say it this way—your heart is the canvas, the Holy Ghost is the Artist, and the Word of God is the oil.

As you fellowship with God, the Holy Ghost will paint an image on the canvas of your heart of the way God sees you—not the way the world sees you.

From just a natural standpoint, we really don't think in words, we think in images.

When someone says dog, you don't automatically think d-o-g. You see in your mind a dog. And if you have a dog, you probably see the image of your dog. But if I say black dog, and your dog is not black, then you won't see your dog any longer, you will see an image of a black dog. If I say big, black dog, then your image changes and becomes more perfected with every word that is added. Big, black dog with curly hair.

Notice every word I add is painting a picture.

Big, black dog with curly hair and white paws. Once again, every word perfects the image.

That's the reason God put His Word in print, so you and I would get an image of what God promises us—our covenant rights.

Every person reading this book has a right to know God's plan for their life. I don't care who you are. I don't care what your background is. I don't care what your race is.

I don't care what your education is—an abundance of it or a lack of it. God has a plan for your life.

He's not just going around picking out a few people and dropping a dream in their heart because He loves them more than He loves someone else. God is wanting to plant a dream in the heart of every child He has.

In order for that dream to drop into your heart, you must be in communion with Him.

You must have time and fellowship with Him. The more time you spend with Him, then the more real your dream will become.

As a result, you'll begin to look for it, you'll begin to anticipate it happening.

You'll begin to expect it to come to pass. If it doesn't come to pass tomorrow, you'll look for it the next day. If it does not come to pass this week, you keep anticipating it next week. Never give up. Keep looking for it.

Get the image of what God has planned for you deep down on the inside and constantly see yourself walking in your dream.

Chapter 3

Prepare Yourself

REMEMBER when I accepted the call to the ministry in 1969, at first, I didn't Ihave anybody asking me to preach. I had been an automotive paint and body man.

Not many people knew that I had left my business and was preparing for the ministry.

In fact, some of the same people praying that I would surrender my life to preach didn't want to hear a word I had to say.

I'll never forget one day the Lord said to me, "I want you to get up this morning, go into your guest bedroom where you've been studying, and instead of just reading today, I want you to prepare yourself like you're preaching tonight." I didn't have a soul asking me to preach and there probably weren't but three people who knew I was called. I went in there, and prayed and then prepared my outline. I had no place to go, but I was ready. If they ever called, I wouldn't have to say, "Well, you caught me off guard, I don't have a sermon." I had a sermon. All I needed was an opportunity. In fact, He said, "Put on your suit like you're going to preach." I put on my suit and sat there all day with my outline ready to preach.

Nobody called. They didn't call that day and they didn't call the next day, they didn't call the next week, and they didn't call the next month. Three months later, I'm still ready! I see myself preaching. The Lord told me one day, "Now, you've got that part of the image perfected, let's add this to it, start interceding for all the people who will hear you preach." Every morning, I'd get up and start praying just like I had a whole congregation to preach to. I started interceding that people would receive the Word and that God would give me utterance in the Holy Ghost. I prayed that people would be healed and delivered. Do you see what I'm doing?

I'm creating a God-given image on the inside of my spirit. I'm seeing myself fulfilling the dream that God had put in my heart. There wasn't anything happening on the outside. But on the inside, I was seeing my dream become a reality. If they ever called, I was ready. And you know what?

They began to call.

Later, I went to work with Brother Kenneth Copeland, and the first year I worked with him, I didn't preach much in his meetings. However, I did do some soul winning seminars from time to time. I would gather people up teach them how to witness and go out in the streets and minister to people one on one. After the first year, we were going to Jacksonville, Florida for a meeting and on the way down there as I was driving the van with all the equipment, the Holy Spirit began to say some things to me.

He said, "Are you ready?" I said, "For what?" He said, "To preach in this meeting."

I said, "Am I preaching in this meeting?" He said, "Yes, are you ready?" I said, "I'm ready!" He said, "What are you going to preach?" I said, "One of Brother Copeland's sermons, which was my favorite; The Greatest Faith!" I loved that sermon. I had it memorized. I knew all the illustrations. If Brother Copeland ever stopped and said,

"Jerry, take over," I could have.

Once I arrived in Jacksonville, I didn't call Brother Copeland and say, "The Lord told me that I was suppose to preach in this meeting." No, I didn't say a word to him. I picked Brother Copeland up, took him to the service that night, and he preached the opening service. The next morning, I was sitting in my room, I've got my suit on, I've studied my outline, and I'm ready. I saw myself preaching. The service started at 10:00, and at twenty minutes till 10:00, Brother Copeland called my room and said,

"Are you ready?" Those were his opening remarks, I'll never forget it. I said, "I'm ready". He said, "What are you ready for?" I said, "To preach". He said, "That's what I'm calling about. You're going to preach the morning service." I said, "Praise the Lord, I'm ready!"

He said, "You are?" I said, "I've got my sermon ready." He said, "What are you going to preach?" I said, "Your sermon—The Greatest Faith." Now, I don't know why I thought this, but I thought that since I was preaching the morning service, he wouldn't be going. I assumed that he would just stay in the room.

He said, "Well, come by and get me." I said, "Say what?" He said, "Come on and get me. Take me to the service." I said,

"You're going?" He said, "Well of course, I want to introduce you." I thought, he's going to be in the same building, and I'm preaching his sermon.

When we got to the service, Brother Copeland said, "Many of you know this young man whom God sent to serve this ministry. You see him running around here, turning on the recorder and selling tapes and so forth, but this morning, the Lord has instructed me to have him preach today.

Let's welcome Jerry Savelle." Then he pulled up a chair next to the podium, sat down, crossed his leg and looked straight at me. I couldn't remember my name, the scripture, nor the sermon title. I fumbled around for ten minutes trying to remember what I was going to say. I kept thinking,

"What could I possibly say that he doesn't already know." Then, it finally dawned on me—I'm not preaching to him, I'm preaching to them and they've never heard this. And I took off from there. Since that day, I've never lacked for a place to preach.

The image began with me sitting in that bedroom with my suit on looking like a fool, working on outlines, and studying the Bible.

Somebody would say to me, "Where are you going?" And I would say, "I'm just like Abraham. I'm on a journey of faith and I know that I'm going to reach my destination."

God dropped a dream in my heart and it became so alive on the inside of me that it became more real than what was happening on the outside. When that happens, it enables you to endure anything and everything. There may not be anyone else who can see your dream but you, so hold fast to it, start preparing for it and never give up.

Chapter 4

Create a Proper Atmosphere

T WOULD be wonderful if God just laid out the whole picture, and said, I"Now, here's where you're going, here's everything that's going to happen before you get there, here's each day of your life for the next fifteen years and here's how it's going to turn out." That would be wonderful! But on the other hand, it wouldn't take faith.

God's not going to lay it all out, He'll give you a piece of the puzzle at a time, one step at a time. Each piece connected to the other piece is going to create a perfect picture of God's plan for your life.

The Bible says that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. So obviously, in this journey of faith you're going to have to be very sensitive to God so you can hear those steps. You need to take the steps ordained and divinely directed by God so you'll end up at the destination to which God has called you.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Hebrews 11:9,10

Abraham didn't know where he was going, but he was always looking.

Are you looking today? Are you looking for the manifestations of what God has promised. If you're not looking, then you're not anticipating. If you're not anticipating, then you're not expecting. If you're not expecting, then it's doubtful that it will ever come to pass. Are you looking for something that man is building or are you looking for something that God is building?

There are things you can do to create a proper atmosphere for your dream and there are also things that will create a wrong or improper atmosphere. What kind of atmosphere do you live in? Is there an atmosphere of unbelief? Is there an atmosphere of doubt? If so, then you're not going to attract miracles. Faith activates God, it puts Him in motion. In the same manner, fear activates the adversary. Fear attracts Satan. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God; therefore, a faith atmosphere causes your God given dreams to come to pass.

Chapter 5

Associate with the Right People

n creating a proper atmosphere for your dreams to become a reality, you must Iassociate with the right people. Don't share your dreams with non-dreamers. Don't share "impossible things" with people who don't believe that all things are possible to those who believe. You need to be around the right people.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20

A right atmosphere is created by associating with the right kind of people.

There are people who feel it is their call in life to convince you that you didn't hear from God, and even if you did, it will never come to pass. There are even some family members who think they have a "special calling" to try to talk you out of everything God has told you.

I remember one time, we were involved in a ministry building project and the devil was fighting us over it day and night. He kept saying that we would never be able to finish this project. I had been invited to preach in a meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma so instead of staying where I normally stayed, I decided I was going to get a hotel room directly across from Oral Roberts University and request a room with a view.

I checked into my hotel room, opened the drapes, pulled my chair right up in front of the window and I sat for hours looking out at that campus. I even pulled a chair up next to me for the devil and said, "Now, let's take a closer look. You said faith won't work. Sit down, let's look." He tried to get up, but I wouldn't let him. I said, "You started this by saying faith won't work, so I'm not releasing you yet, you're not allowed to go. Just sit here and let's talk about what faith will do and what faith won't do. Just keep looking at this campus." I said, "Faith built this campus and faith can build what God wants me to build."

Now notice, I didn't go look for people who would agree with the devil and tell me it's impossible. If I had done that, they would have tried to rob me of my dream and pull me down to their level. I don't need to hear that. I'm trying to build something. I need to be stirred up and encouraged. I need to be around people of faith.

Have you ever noticed that the non-dreamers usually out number the dreamers?

That means you're going to have to be very selective. It may cost you some "so called"

friends. He who walks with the companion of fools will be destroyed. If you walk around with fools, you're going to get hurt.

They will steal your dream right out of your heart.

So determine that you're going to associate with the right kind of people who will help create a proper atmosphere for your dreams to come true. Don't run around with faithless people. Don't expose your dreams to people who never dream.

Fellowship with those who believe and practice in their own lives the reality that all things are possible to him that believeth!

Chapter 6

Practice Patience

What motivates you today? What keeps you going? What causes you to continue to stand when everybody else is giving up? Is it what God says in His Word—that if God said it, that settles it? "Standing" should become a vital part of your life. It should become first nature to you. When you get up in the morning, you shouldn't have to ask yourself,

"Should I breathe today?" You just breathe.

You shouldn't have to ask yourself, "Should I keep standing?" It's natural when you live by faith. If you're willing to stand, then you can count on it, every dream God gives you will come to pass.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself. Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Hebrews 6:13-15

There was a time in our judiciary system when somebody laid their left hand on the Bible, raised their right hand and said, "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," you knew that they were going to give an accurate account of what they had witnessed.

What are they saying when they do this?

I swear by a greater authority than myself.

Why do they use the Bible? Because it represents the greater authority. When God made promise to Abraham, the Word says there was no higher authority than God.

Who is He going to turn to and say, "I swear"? There is no one higher than He. So, He swore by Himself meaning He laid the entire corporate structure of Heaven on the line. If He ever breaks His word, He loses everything He represents and owns. That's powerful. You know as well as I do, God will never lie. He took an oath. He didn't have to do it, but He did it for us.

When you're reading the Word of God and you're standing on a promise, you should start to imagine God taking that oath.

When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless! Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.

Hebrews 6:13-15 (The Message) Learn to "stick it out"—it really pays off!

Remember the Word also says that the vision is for an appointed time. That tells me that it may not come to pass the moment you receive it. There may be some time involved. You must be prepared for that.

You've got to be willing to wait for that vision to materialize. If you become disappointed because it didn't happen in a week, then I can tell you, the vision will never become a reality in your life. There is a due season with God. Once you understand that, it eliminates the frustration.

You don't have to be bothered with, "Well, I wonder when it's going to happen. Why isn't it happening?" When you know there is an appointed time with God, then you just go with the flow and you stand no matter what happens.

What difference does it make how long it takes as long as it comes to pass? The beautiful thing about it is when God is the one who causes your dreams to come to pass, then no one can take them away from you. The Word says, ...Though it tarries, wait earnestly, for it will surely come. In other words, when the appointed time comes, it will not wait a minute later.

No matter how many setbacks you have, no matter how many failures you experience, you just keep bouncing back and going forward until the vision becomes a reality. Practice patience everyday—don't grow weary. Endure, stand, and stay motivated and your due season will come!

Chapter 7

Remember Your Previous Victories

WHEN it appears that your dream will never come to pass, remember your previous victories that God brought to pass in your life. I heard another preacher say one time,

"Your life moves in the direction of your most dominant thoughts." If you think negative thoughts all the time such as, "I can't. It's impossible. It will never come to pass." Then that's the way your life will move.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Proverbs 23:7

When you think positive, and when you remember that God's done it before and He can do it again, and when you think, God's bigger than this adversity, then your life is going to move in that direction.

I heard this same preacher say, "Your memory has two files of your past: File number one—failures. File number two—successes." File one contains your painful experiences. File two contains your pleasurable experiences. Your memory will give you whichever one you seem to lean to the most. Have you ever seen a file cabinet that is so worn out and beat up and the handle is about to fall off? Why is it that way? Because it is used more than the others. The reason some people keep having so many negative thoughts about unpleasant experiences is because they go to that file more than they go to their victory file.

It doesn't matter how badly your life has been, you've had some good times somewhere in the midst of all that hurt and pain. You might say, "You don't know my life. There's never been anything good."

Well, I can think of one thing—you're still breathing. The Bible says, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." So start praising God for the breath that you have.

When the painful memories come up, cast them down. When those memories of failure come up, cast them down.

Think about the times that God came through. Think about the times the blessings came. Think about "the lion and the bear"

that God delivered you from, and then old Goliath won't look so big. Replaying past triumphs and victories is a powerful way to keep your attention focused on your dream.

If you keep replaying them, then the dream you're presently waiting for won't look so impossible.

...Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.

Philippians 3:13

Don't give another thought to bad experiences of the past. Don't even bring them up. Forget them and rejoice in what God is doing right now and what He will do in is doing right now and in what He will do in the future.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not fasten its grip on me.

Psalm 101:3 (NAS)

There's nothing you can do to change the past, so don't bring it up. It's worthless and it is designed to fasten a grip on you, to seize you, to capture you and cause you to let go of your dream. Let go of the past and focus on your glorious future.

Chapter 8

Never Stop Pursuing!

HAVE you ever seen anyone who just absolutely will not give up?

What motivates people like that?

They see things that other people don't see.

They have something on the inside of them that propels them forward. Some Christians are just not willing to pursue their dream. They give up too quickly. They let people talk them out of it. They let people destroy the seed of God's Word in their heart. They let circumstances convince them that there's no way.

We have to constantly feed our spirit the Word of God in order to stay strong and not give up under pressure and not compromise and quit. In the natural, it may look utterly impossible for it to ever come to pass, but we are a people of faith. Faith people should be willing to go any distance. When you're that determined, then God is going to see to it that your dream comes to pass. But before the dream comes to pass, there will be some obstacles to overcome. Before the Israelites passed from Egypt to Canaan, there was a Red Sea to cross. You may have to cross a "Red Sea" too!

What has God put in your heart? Perhaps God has called you into the five-fold ministry. If so, then you must desire that more than anything else. When you desire it with all your heart, then you're going to pursue it with everything that is in you. We pursue the things we truly desire. We begin reading about them, we get all the information we can about them, and we refuse to give up until we have it.

Have you ever desired a "dream home"?

So what do you do? Do you just sit around saying, "Well, if it be His will"? No. If you're like my wife, you've got architect magazines stacked up everywhere so you can get ideas.

Everywhere Carolyn goes, she sees an idea. She's filing those ideas. She's pursuing something she desires. Anything you truly desire, you're going to pursue it. You're going to channel energy, money, time, effort, and thoughts toward it. It's just the natural process of things. So whatever it is that God has dropped in your heart, then don't let go of it. Pursue it with everything that is in you. Don't ever stop, become relentless, and don't ever give up!

Chapter 9

Sow into Someone Else's Dream

YOUR dream will never come to pass until you get involved in helping someone else's dream become a reality. I heard Mike Murdock say it this way—"What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you." Get involved in somebody else's dream.

In order to possess something you do not yet have, you must be willing to plant something that you do have. That's the principle the farmer operates on. This is not something new, farmers do it all the time.

What does the farmer want? He wants a crop. What does he have? A seed. He must be willing to plant something that he does have in order to possess something he doesn't have.

Your dream can never come to pass until you sow toward that dream. Get involved in somebody else's dream. Every seed produces after its own kind.

That's the law of Genesis. If you plant apples, you get apples. If you plant oranges, you get oranges. Are you believing for a car? If so, then go find someone else who is believing for a car and plant into their dream. When you make someone else's dream come to pass, God will see to it that others get involved in your dream.

Your sowing will produce miracles.

There's not a lack of miracles. The problem is they are either coming towards you or they are passing you by. When you are a sower into others dreams, then your sowing acts like a magnet and attracts miracles to your life.

Chapter 10

Call Your Dreams into Existence

GOD declared something about Abraham when in the natural realm he was not this at all. God called Abraham "Father" before he actually became a father. In other words, God was calling things that were not as though they were.

God said, "You'll be a father!" And as far as God was concerned, that settled it. "I don't care if your wife is barren, and you're 100 years old, I said you'll have a child. I said your descendants will be as the stars in the sky and the sands on the sea. So, I'll call you father until you actually become a father."

Did you know that right now God is calling you something different than what others are calling you? God's calling you a champion. God's calling you more than a conqueror. God's calling you a world overcomer. I don't care if you're at the end of your rope. I don't care if, in the natural, there's nothing working for you. That's not the way God's looking at you.

I remember when I first came to the Lord, I said, "What could You possibly do with me? I'm a failure." He said, "Don't worry about it. I'm a master at making champions out of failures." That settled it for me. With one word, God can make something out of nothing. Do you know what that tells me? It's time to get into fellowship with God and hear that one word that will change your life.

When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway. He decided not to live on the basis of what he knew he couldn't do, but rather on the basis of what God said he would do.

When God calls for something in the spirit realm, not yet seen in the natural realm, the word call takes on the meaning of a summons. In a court of law, someone may be summoned to appear in court.

That means they received a call or a letter to appear in court in order to testify as to what they know or what they have seen.

You know as well as I do that once a summons has been issued, if you don't obey, you could be legally penalized. Well, when God calls for something, a summons has been released and now the thing summoned for must appear in the natural. Whatever God has put in your heart, then you must call for it.

Start calling for those finances! Call for health. Call for that family member to be saved. It may not exist now, but you're calling for nonexistent things as if they do exist. You have an image of it. It's real on the inside of you and it was birthed there from the promises of God. First the call, then the summons and now the thing you called for has "a divine appointment" with you. That's how the spirit of faith works.

Once I call for whatever I'm believing God for, a summons has been issued, and it must appear. No demon in hell can stop it.

The only person who can stop this from happening is me. How? By getting weary, giving up and aborting the dream. So, wait earnestly for it. It doesn't make any difference how long it takes. The name of the game is to win.

So, do you want your dreams to come to pass? Then create an atmosphere of faith and associate with the right people. Don't talk your dreams to non-dreamers. Don't ever give up on your dream. No matter how long it takes, no matter what kind of obstacles or barriers you may be facing—don't give up! Sow into the dreams of others, and God will bring others to sow into your dreams. Pursue your dreams with everything in you. Call for your dreams. Expect your dreams to become a reality and continually watch for them because they will come to pass!

If God put this dream in your heart, then it's worth waiting for. You'll never regret waiting for your dream.

For those who don't know Jesus, would you like to know Him?

If you were to die today, where would you spend eternity? If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you can be assured that when you die, you will go directly into the presence of God in Heaven. If you have not accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, is there any reason why you can't make Jesus the Lord of your life right now? Please pray this prayer out loud, and as you do, pray with a sincere and trusting heart, and you will be born again.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to you in the Name of Jesus to receive salvation and eternal life. I believe that Jesus is Your Son. I believe that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. I receive Jesus now into my heart and make Him the Lord of my life. Jesus, come into my heart. I welcome you as my Lord and Savior.

Father, I believe Your Word that says I am now saved. I confess with my mouth that I am saved and born again. I am now a child of God.
