The Word of God is spiritual law. God’s Word tells us how to achieve success in Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous and then you shall deal wisely and have good success” (AMP).
The spiritual law involved in this verse is this: TALKING THE WORD + MEDITATING THE WORD + ACTING ON THE WORD = PROSPERITY, SUCCESS, AND DEALING WISELY.
I have applied this spiritual law to my personal life and ministry, and it has brought great results. I want to share with you four prerequisites to victory:
1. DECISION: Make a decision to win. The Spirit of God said this to me: “Son, if you are not willing to make a decision to win, then you are not going to win.” Success begins with your decision to succeed.
2. DETERMINATION: Be determined to back your decision to win. Many people make a decision to succeed without being determined and usually give up under pressure. Once you decide to win, then you must make an unwavering commitment to keep going forward.
3. DISCIPLINE: Discipline yourself to DO only what the Word says and to say only what the Word says about every situation. You can’t be moved by what you see, feel, or hear.
4. DILIGENCE: Always make a steady, consistent effort to accomplish your goal. Never give up!
Do you need a miracle? Make your decision now to get it! Be determined that you will win! Discipline yourself to think, speak, and do only what the Word says. Be diligent! Never give up! Once you have done these things, victory and success are yours!

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
