(upbeat music)
- Years ago, I was invited to the White House.
First time I've ever been to the White House!
And I was invited to be a part
of the Women of Faith leaders.
And I felt so honored to be asked to pray for our nation
because we need it right.
Well, I was surrounded by successful people.
In fact, one lady was a successful author.
She has sold millions of books,
made into movies!
I've actually seen the movies.
Then there was this famous singer who has millions
of followers on social media.
Well, we had to go around the room
and introduce ourselves and say what we do,
which I dread because, you know, my voice.
So, (laughs) we went around the room
and the lady right next to me,
she stands up and says her name,
and she owns a little store called Hobby Lobby (laughs).
And then it was my turn.
And I'm thinking, okay, Terri, use your big girl voice.
So I stood up and I said, I'm Terri Savelle Foy,
and I'm a cheerleader of dreams,
and I give her a lot of business
and I sat down real quick (laughs)!
But you know what?
Being in that environment,
it didn't intimidate me, It inspired me to think bigger,
to dream bigger and to start asking God
for bigger things in my life.
By the way, I'm Terri Savelle Foy,
your Cheerleader of Dreams.
And I wanna talk to you today
about how you could be missing out
on so much more in your life,
all because of a simple principle
from God's word that you might be overlooking.
I know I was for years.
And hey, real quick, if you haven't subscribed
to this channel,
would you do something for me
that I have never asked anyone to do before?
Would you push that play button and become a subscriber?
Now I'm laughing
because for years I have called it the arrow
and my daughter just emailed me and said,
"Mom, it's a play button."
So, I never asked anybody to push the play button before!
So would you be the first?
Oh, and in this week,
I decided to offer our Vision Board Course again,
that sells for $97 for only $8.
Now this has been wild this year.
I just obeyed what the Lord put in my heart
about teaching this message of vision
to as many people as possible.
So we reduced the course from $97 to $8,
and we have had thousands and thousands enroll,
all over the world.
And more importantly,
they're emailing us the most phenomenal testimonies.
Well, I believe it's your time.
God wants you to get serious
about the dreams he has put in your heart.
So if you'd like for me to help you get started,
figuring out your vision, you know,
your dreams, direction for your life.
Just click the link in the description of this video
and you can literally get started today.
Does that sound good?
Okay, back to our topic.
You've probably heard this before,
but if you're the big fish in a small pond,
you're in the wrong pond.
If you're the smartest one in your group,
you got the wrong group, right?
I'm sure you've heard this before.
And probably even this example of there's a certain species
of fish that if you put them in a small aquarium,
they'll stay there.
And I was reading this article about it.
And they said, if you take that very same fish
and you release it into a large body of water,
it will grow to its intended size.
Now the article I read said, people are the same way.
If you stay in a small limited, harsh environment,
you'll stay small.
But if you get around people who think big,
who dream big, who believe big, guess what?
You're gonna grow to the size
that God intended for you to grow.
Well see God has so much more for your life,
but you've got to be exposed to more.
Well, at the beginning of this year,
the Lord said to me in prayer, he said,
"Ask me for something big."
And then I heard the Lord say this.
You know, I journal my time with the Lord
and I heard him say, "You're not asking big enough."
See, God doesn't want us thinking small, barely get by.
No, he wants us to ask him
for something that only he can do.
In fact, Ephesians 3:20 says,
"Now to him who is able to do exceeding,
"abundantly above all you ask
"or think according to the power at work within you."
Now, did you know that in the business world,
they've even proven that asking increases your chance
of receiving by 200%.
Steve Harvey said,
"Most people aren't living the life of their dreams
"because they're not asking God
"for the life of their dreams."
In fact, somebody said,
"Be careful what you ask for
"because you just might get it (laughs)."
So I started applying this principle right here
that I'm telling you,
and it is enabling me to achieve my biggest dreams.
What is the principle?
You ready for this?
It's Matthew 7:7.
It says "Ask and you shall receive."
Ask and you shall receive.
For example, do you think
that this is purely coincidental?
Years ago, I put a photo of Russia
on my vision board and I began asking God
for an opportunity to minister there.
Now, I don't know why.
I just thought it'd be neat to go there one day,
just one time and minister to these precious people.
Now keep in mind, I didn't know a soul in Russia,
when I put that on my vision board.
Well do you think it's a coincidence
that I received an invitation to speak
in Moscow, on international Women's Day?
Not one bit.
In fact, I flew to Russia.
I spoke in the conference.
I met the most precious Russian women,
had caviar for the first time, almost threw up,
but that's not my point (laughs),
but God's word says, ask, and you shall receive.
Now here's another example.
In fact, I have this one right here.
I put a photo of public school buildings on my vision board.
And I just began asking God for an opportunity
to our vision board course in schools
to teach teenagers how to set goals,
how to dream, how to stay focused,
so they don't give into the temptations all around them.
Well, I don't have a clue
how you just get a course in schools.
But you know what?
I began asking God.
So is it strange that we now have our vision board course
in schools showing teenagers how
to make their dreams bigger than their memories?
Not one bit, ask and you shall receive!
And by the way,
it's the very vision board course
that I'm offering this week for only $8.
So here's one more example.
I put a picture on the vision board
of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders back in 2013.
And, of course, my husband saw that and said,
"You still wanna be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader?"
I said, "No, Rodney, I want to minister
"to the cheerleaders!"
He said, "Well didn't know?
"'Cause sometimes they pick old ones."
I don't find that the least bit funny, but anyway (laughs),
I didn't know a soul in the Cowboys' organization.
So let me ask you,
is it just random that I now minister
to the Dallas Cowboys' cheerleaders.
And here they are walking me out onstage
at our recent ICING women's event.
Not one bit!
God is the one who said ask and you shall receive.
Oh, and ladies, let me just say,
we have ICING Nashville coming up, October 29th and 30th.
And all you have to do is click the link
and get your tickets
because I would love to see you
in person and inspire you to live your dreams.
Well, let me ask you,
what do you need to start dreaming about
and asking God for?
Steve Harvey said, "If you up your ask,
"God will up his give."
I love that!
Well, you know,
recently I came across this phrase
and it just stood out to me, entertain the impossible.
Now entertain means to give attention,
to keep in mind and to have a view.
I don't know about y'all,
but that sounds like a vision board to me, right?
Impossible means not likely to occur,
beyond the bounds of possibility,
out of the question, hopelessly difficult,
something that cannot be done!
So here's my point.
Whatever looks utterly hopeless, incapable of happening,
cannot be done, great!
That's what God wants you to entertain and ask him for.
In fact, let's see what God's Word says
about impossible dreams.
Did you know Matthew 19:26 says
"Jesus looked at them and he said,
"'With man, this is impossible.
"'But with God, all things are possible.'"
So what am I saying?
God specializes in doing the impossible.
In fact, Myles Munroe, said, the Lord told him one time,
"Ask me to do something that makes me look like God."
I love that.
Now in the Vision Board Course,
I'm gonna walk you through the entire vision process,
but I want you to grab hold of this principle today,
ask God for your dream.
And you might even say, Terri,
God knows the desires of my heart.
He even knows my thoughts and that's true.
But he said for us to ask him 33 times in the Bible,
in fact, there's a scripture,
John 16:24, it says "Until now you've asked
"for nothing in my name."
And then he says it again, "Ask and you will receive.
"So your joy may be full."
See God also said,
"You have not because you ask not."
Steve Harvey said that scripture
is not just in rich people's bible,
it's in yo Bible (laughs)!
I like that too!
But here's the thing.
Could you really be missing out on things
because you're not asking God?
So let me close out with this.
This is a story that I love
and it was about Mrs. Fields,
not the cookie lady,
but the heir to the Marshall Field's department store.
Well, apparently she was a big donor
at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
Well, she would give money
to that University, you know, for years.
Well, one day they were reading the paper
and they saw where Mrs. Fields donated a million dollars
to the University of Chicago.
Well, they were like, what?
Why would she give it to them and not us?
So they called her up and they said,
"Why did you give a million dollars
"to the University of Chicago and not to Northwestern?"
You know what Mrs. Fields said?
"The university of Chicago asked, you didn't."
Here's the thing!
I think the worst thing in Heaven would be
when God gives you a glimpse
of all that you could have had,
all that you could have done,
all that you could have been,
and you say, "God, why didn't I get any of this?"
And God says, "You didn't ask.
"Terri finally learned to ask,
"but you never asked."
So I wanna help you this week.
Take it to the next level.
Don't just get inspired, take action.
So I wanna help you get started.
Get out of the rut of not dreaming
and start asking God for what you want.
Now, again this week,
I put together a very special download to help you.
And it's the online Vision Board Course
that sells for $97,
but I'm practically giving it away for only $8.
Now it's very important that you get clear
on what you really want and that's the fun part.
So you're gonna get six online training videos
of me to help you get started.
You're also gonna get the ebook,
Dream It, Pin It, Live It.
And the entire eworkbook, all of this for only $8.

because you might be like, why eight bucks?
Well, do you know the number eight means new beginnings?
And that's exactly what we hear from our students,
that God is doing a new thing in their lives.
And I believe it's your turn.
So I cannot wait to hear your testimony.
