When the favor of God is upon you and goes before you, then you can walk with your head up high. You can walk with a sense of confidence and security knowing full well that God is on your side.
Psalm 89:17 says, “For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.”
The Amplified says it this way, “For you are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], and by, Your favor our horn is exalted and we walk with up lifted faces!”
The people of God shouldn’t be walking around with their heads down in sorrow and defeat wondering, “My God, what are we ever going to do? How are we ever going to get out of this!” No, when God’s favor is on you, you should be walking with an uplifted face.
You should walk with a countenance of joy on you! Even though all of hell’s power has broken loose in your life, you are confident that your God will deliver you. Amen.
When you walk in the favor of God, you don’t bow down to Satan’s pressure any more. He is no longer your master.
It’s time to stand up and tell him, “You’re talking to someone who is highly favored of God. Are you trying to tell me this is impossible? Just watch. I love it when you say, ‘impossible’ because you don’t know who you are talking to. I have favor with God. The favor of God surrounds me like a shield. It goes before me. It causes me to have a countenance of joy even in adversity. It enables me to laugh at my enemy because I know his day is coming.”
The Body of Christ needs to learn to walk in God’s favor. We need to expect to increase in it, and have a positive attitude that every adversity will be turned into victory because the favor of God is upon us and we cannot be defeated.

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
