- When it looked like the worst year ever,
and people around me were saying,
"This is the most devastating year.
It's catastrophic. We're surviving, just barely,"
and many people were.
Well, one day, I was listening for the Lord in prayer,
and this just came up in my heart, and I wrote it down.
I heard, "You have entered a new era of favor
and favorable opportunities."
Well, I don't think most people would describe this year
as a new era of favor.
However, I didn't just close the book
and say, "Well, I clearly cannot hear from God."
No, I chose to believe.
And I want to share with you two things
that made everything turn around.
And the same can happen for you.
(upbeat music)
Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams.
Did you know that you will get exactly what you expect?
My dad has ingrained in me how to expect the favor of God.
And see, your mind is like a magnet,
which I just happen to have some.
Whatever gets in your mind and stays there,
you will attract it in your life.
Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks in his heart,
so does he become."
See, I remember years ago,
my daughter, Kassidi, and I we're going to London.
I was speaking at several conferences there.
And when we got to the airport,
they put my luggage on the scales, and they were overweight.
And the lady said, "You know, your luggage is overweight."
And I said, (chuckling) "Imagine that!"
But you know what she said?
"I'm not gonna charge you. I'm just gonna let it go."
I turned to Kassidi and I said, "That's the favor of God!"
Well, then we flew to London, we check in the hotel,
and as we're checking out,
the little British guy with the cute little accent,
he said, "You know what?
Today is your lucky day."
He said, "I just took hundreds of pounds off of your bill."
I was like, "What?"
I said, "Kass, that's the favor of God!"
(chuckling) I wish I had my magnets.
But then at the end of the trip, we had one full day
to just play and sight-see around London.
So I told Kass, I said,
"Let's go get those double-decker buses,
and let's, sight-see London."
Went outside the hotel,
and there was this man selling tickets.
So I said, "I need one adult price and one child price,"
'cause Kass was like 11.
So he looked at us and he said, "You know what?
I'm gonna charge you two child-price tickets."
I said, "What?"
I don't know if it's my voice or what,
but that is a favor of God!
Well, this year, during all this craziness in our world,
I started expecting favor like never before.
And these two things turned everything around, everything.
This has been the most phenomenal year.
I'm talking about a record-breaking year,
not only for our ministry, but for me and Rodney personally,
and for those I've shared this with.
Well, that's exactly what's about to happen in your life.
Hey, real quick, before I share these two things,
would you mind doing something for me?
It only takes two seconds, maybe even one.
Here, would you toss me that? (giggles)
Would you help us let YouTube know
that there is a demand for Christian motivational channels?
And we can do this
by having more subscribers on our channel.
So if you'll just push the little red arrow below,
then we can get that message out.
So I want to say thank you so much.
And I'm gonna toss it back. (giggles)
So, you ready for the two things?
Number one is speak God's favor over your life.
One way our faith is released is through our words.
Job 22:28 says, "Thou, you will decree a thing,
and it will be established for you."
Then it says this.
"And the light of God's favor will shine upon your ways."
Why? Because you're decreeing it.
See, there's a connection between declaring favor
and experiencing favor.
Well, my dad, the expert on favor,
he has discovered 10 benefits of God's favor
that will come on your life as a result of you speaking it.
Well, I had never done this before, until this year,
because God said to me, "It's a new era of favor
and favorable opportunities."
So I began declaring the 10 benefits
every single day during my prayer time,
over my dreams, and over my life.
And I shared these with my friends and partners.
Now let me just read a few of them
and give you some examples.
Number one, God's favor
produces supernatural increase and promotion.
What does that mean?
That means when others are panicking, you're prospering.
When jobs are lost, you're getting a promotion.
Here's another one.
God's favor restores everything that's been stolen from you.
What does that mean?
Health, money, opportunities,
relationships, jobs, you name it.
Here's another one.
God's favor causes you to be recognized
when you seem the least likely to receive it.
I love that. Here's another one.
God's favor wins battles you don't even have to fight
because God is fighting them for you.
Well, I'm not gonna go through this whole list,
but I put the entire list in your free download this week,
so you can access the very 10 declarations
that we have been speaking all year long.
So click the link in the description to get that list.
I heard Joel Osteen say,
"If you haven't experienced much favor,
maybe it's because you're not declaring it."
See, you're releasing your faith for favor
every time you speak it out.
And I'm telling you, God is no respecter of persons.
What he's done for us, he'll do for you.
In fact, TD Jakes said, "Some things in your life
will never change until you begin speaking them out."
So number one is speak God's favor over your life.
The second thing, number two,
is sow for God's favor on your life, sow, S-O-W.
When the pandemic broke out,
and I'm looking at everything canceled this year,
and how utterly impossible our goals looked,
well, the Lord led me to Genesis 26:12.
Now, it says in 26 verse one
that there was a famine in the land.
Now, famine means shortage, lack, scarcity,
poverty, insufficiency, drought.
Does that sound familiar?
Well, when there was a famine in the land,
verse 12 says what Isaac chose to do.
Isaac sowed seed in that land.
Which land? The land of famine.
But don't stop reading,
because it says Isaac reaped, in the same year,
100-fold what he had planted.
Then it says the Lord blessed and favored Isaac.
He received 100-fold.
How? Why did he experience so much increase in favor?
Because he chose to sow seed during a famine.
What was he doing?
He was seizing a favorable opportunity when nobody else did.
And that took faith.
Well, on March 18th,
when all of this was just happening in the world,
and everything's starting to break out, the virus,
and I'm hearing about all these things that are canceled,
and everything looks hopeless,
the first thing I told my team is I said,
"I want in on this Genesis 26:12 right now."
I said, "Isaac sowed in famine.
This is the key to our breakthrough right here."
So I told my team,
"I'm not trying to be goofy or super spiritual about this."
I said, "But we're gonna sow $2,612,
2,612, 26:12, to several ministries.
Believe in God that in the same year,
we are going to reap 100-fold,
and we're gonna walk in the favor of God."
Well, we sowed the seed,
and the next week, my CEO, Isaiah, said,
"In the first week of April,"
he said, "Terri, the first week,
our website surpassed the entire month of March."
I said, "What?" (chuckles)
I said, "Let's get some more seed in the ground!"
So we sowed another 26:12.
Well, the month of May surpassed April.
June broke records. July broke June's records.
And it has been a record-breaking year
month after month, during a famine.
And it's not just happening for us.
It's happening for anyone who will grab hold of this.
In fact, listen to these ladies
who shared their testimony with me.
This is from Carrie.
She said, "A couple weeks ago,
I sent my partnership gift to your ministry,
and $26.12, for Genesis 26:12, as you were teaching."
She said, "Praise the Lord."
She said, "Before the seed was even in the ground,
before the check was in the mail,
we were given $10,000.
Thank you, Jesus," she writes.
"Thank you for hearing from the Lord
and sharing this revelation."
I could stop right there, but I'm gonna read a couple more.
Listen to this. Dina.
Dina said, "First of all, I want to say thank you."
She said, "Your teaching has impacted my life.
I listen to your podcast every day."
She said, "One particular one was to sow $26.12.
Well, I had been battling my insurance company
for months now over $500 they owed me.
So I sowed $26.12 to your ministry.
Only two days later,
I received a check from my insurance company,
not for $500, but for $1,012."
She said, "Notice the 12! Genesis 26:12.
Thank you, Jesus."
One more. Adele.
Adele said, "I just had to tell you
my Genesis 26:12 testimony."
She said, "We sowed our seed, and we got a car.
Got a car, given to us, worth $26,000."
So, this is not something I came up with.
This is a revelation from heaven for this season.
There's an anointing on this for right now.
So I wanna encourage you today
to start declaring daily God's favor over your life.
In fact, click the link in the description,
and get your free download.
And then sow where you want to go.
Give where you need to give. Get your seed in the ground.
It could be $2.61.
It could be $26.12, like these ladies.
It could be $261. Give something memorable.
Now, I want you to have this kind of increase in favor,
like Isaac, like my team, like our ministry,
like Dina, and Carrie, and Adele are experiencing
in a time of famine.
But you can't have a harvest if you don't sow a seed.
Now, I've never done this on the podcast,
but if you feel led to give to our ministry outreaches,
click the link in the description to make your donation.
And I can promise you this. We are good ground.
We honor God, and we pray over your seed.
So give God what you've got, and you know what?
He'll turn it into a lot.
In fact, I heard this in prayer one day,
when we sowed our seed,
and we sowed in faith, just like you are,
but I heard the Lord say,
"The moment the seed left your hand,
I released what's in mine."
Isn't that awesome? So hang onto those words.
So I want to say thank you for watching.
And remember, I'm cheering you on to live your dreams.
