For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalms 5:12 NKJV
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalms 84:11 NKJV
Prophetic Word Given by Dr. Savelle (April 2022)
2022 will continue to be challenging, but much better than the previous two years. There will be strong opposition from two distinct forces, light and darkness. Satan will do all that he can do to lull God’s people into a spiritual slumber so that he can keep them from enjoying God’s best. But, on the other hand, God, at the same time, will be drawing them to spend more quality time with Him and His Word so that they can remain strong and win every battle. The church will continue to feel the effects of growing pains, but through greater insight, revelation, and wisdom from God, it will enjoy some of its greatest victories!
The Apostle Paul said in II Corinthians 2:14, “Thanks be unto God which causes us to triumph, always.” [(God always makes his grace visible) He said to me, “Get ready to experience more of my favor.] So, get ready to experience more and more of the favor of God that will be visible to others - not only you, but visible to others. Get ready to experience more and more manifestations of God’s favor. And, once again, it will be visible for all to see. Good things are on the horizon! More and more of your dreams and goals will come to pass in 2022. Stay overwhelmed with gratitude to God for His faithfulness to you and never stop praising Him for his goodness!
Be courageous and continue to take steps of faith. Don’t settle for remaining as you are. Be willing to step out in faith as God directs, even when others have decided to play it safe. God wants you to tap into all of your potential. Don’t allow others to discourage you. Be willing to get out of your comfort zone, God has much more in store for you! Stay focused, stay positive, always remembering that God is with you and God is for you. And, absolutely refuse to give up - no matter what!
Definition of Favor, by Jerry Savelle- Exactly what is favor? Favor is something granted out of good will rather than for justice or payment. In other words, it is a gift from God. You didn't I earn it. You can't buy it. You can't be so good that finally God will say, "You've been so good, you've earned favor."
It is also defined as a gift bestowed as a token of regard, love or friendliness (or friendship) and preferential treatment. It's what Jesus did at Calvary that earned you the favor of God.

Excerpt from an Article by Jerry Savelle - Apr 2022
Recently…the Holy Spirit spoke in my spirit the phrase, “I CAN LIVE UNDER THE CANOPY OF GOD’S FAVOR!”
YOU CAN LIVE UNDER THE CANOPY OF HIS FAVOR!
A canopy is a covering that serves as a shelter. This is the image you see in Psalm 91:1 TPT where the psalmist wrote, “When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai (The Almighty) you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.”
Obviously, you must intentionally remain under His shelter if you’re to enjoy its benefits. And one of those benefits is constantly experiencing His favor.
Prayed…
We are standing in our authority and decreeing that we, our families and ENCC are living daily under God's canopy of favour.
