either you were here all afternoon one of the to man this is no problem isn't it beautiful out there with all the snow and the lights and man it's just been awesome did you take any tours today of the buildings praise God you know this picture right back here is was taken I think two or three weeks ago the very first frost that we had and that's taken from our new headquarters building so some of you didn't get to see that but last year the Lord blessed us with an additional 336 acres so now we have a total of 490 3 acres here and we have this this is the building looking towards Pikes Peak and so all together anyway it's just awesome God's doing some great great things amen you know we got a brand new book out first time it's ever been offered who told you that you were naked and this is a question that God asked Adam Adam said I was afraid and I hid because I was naked and he said who told you that you were naked you know the very fact that God asked the question showed he wasn't the one who told him and the Bible doesn't say the devil told him you know where you got that from his own conscience eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil this is a study in the conscience and showing you how that it's not god that's condemning us and it's not even the devil a lot of times it condemns us it's our own conscience and this is really good we've got I think 10 copies of these that they are passing out who's passing these out whole sake so they're up there anyway if you want to if you act like you would like this we've got people scattered around that will give you a free copy of this amen so praise God hey Steven would you mind giving this to somebody I'll let you give that to somebody I don't think you had to look very far praise the Lord I tell you we've had an awesome day we had Jesse Minister this afternoon and it was just awesome and Jesse and Kathy are back with us tonight and praise God for Kenneth Copeland coming and being with us tonight this is this is just awesome so man I'm so glad I've had a great time last night we had the musical debut of David the king of Jerusalem and I tell you it was spectacular and for those of you that this is your first service during the weekend this doesn't normally it normally up there but we had a huge screen that was much bigger than this and we're leaving this up because tomorrow we're doing a broadcast with governor Huckabee and Tony Perkins and so this is going to be a background for TV set we've got people coming in and we're gonna put this on I think 78 different platforms one of them has a hundred and fifty million viewers and then day stars going to rerun it and CTN and also Kenneth is doing an election night coverage on Tuesday night on be vo VN and I think I'm remoting in on that did you know about that all right I was told and so I was hoping it was okay so anyway we are trying to turn people out and praise God keep the momentum going that we've gotten through this last election so if you weren't able to register for that the safe Secret Service protects governor Huckabee and stuff and so if you haven't already registered for that you can't register now it's too late but you can watch it online amen go to a WMI dotnet or truth and liberty dotnet number of different ways and we would love to have you be a part of that it's going to be special and it's just it's been awesome today so again i want to thank all of you for coming this has been such a blessing to me I'll tell you I'm I'm pooped I woke up at 4:30 this morning singing nothing is impossible with God and I couldn't go back to sleep I just praised God and so anyway I've been going all day and I'm gonna stay awake in the name of Jesus as I listen to Kenneth Copeland but man what an honor to have him come I've got a little story I'm going to tell you about Kenneth and I'll wait until we introduce him but we have we we did the finale of our heart of Christmas show this afternoon and it was a big success man they said lots of people were buying those DVDs and we have the heart of Christmas coming up on the 7th through the 9th of December and hopefully you got to see the lights as you came in and with the snow it's just beautiful there's no reason for you not to come back and be a part of that it is awesome and we also have another musical entitled God with us and it's just it's it's amazing and anyway my wife is a part of that she is the woman who touched the hem of Jesus garment and so they're going to do that I think that there is a trailer that goes with this this afternoon they played the trailer after the music and so I don't know what order we're gonna do it in but sooner or later you will get to see the trailer that'll give you a little idea about what this is about and then there will also be the music and this is the woman touching the hem of Jesus garment amen [Applause] if God is with us who can be against us we are not alone he will help us to face new [Music] let him among you who is without sin let him throw the first stone all persons suspected of following the religious sect known as Christianity will be thrown to the Lions our desire is just to give the Word of God out to the people [Music] thank you for sending the comforter to us Oh a spirit thank you that you will lead us and remind us of faith of Abraham and David and the boldness [Music] the show itself is so powerful it draws you in it's the Word of God is the story of Jesus Christ it's the the story of God's relentless pursuit of his people we are not afraid anything that you can we know I'm God is able to deliver us it doesn't save us let us die we will say him [Music] people who recognize themselves in being Peter who maybe wanted very well to follow Jesus but failed and we all are broken vessels and people with mistakes and flaws their lives but the grace of God can just totally cover and transform anything so no matter how far away you are from God there's always a way back there's always a grace that a mystery [Applause] [Music] please come my daughter even now she is at the point of death please lay your hands on her that she might live somebody touched me Master were caught in this crowd like this Internet she's just placed my total but somebody touched me the power go out from me my lord it was me my daughter your faith has made you whole now go in peace [Music] Lord my redeemer and merciful [Music] I searched for a cure [Music] Oh help me no one could free me from pain I lost all that silver and gold could not pay but today the Lord my redeemer had mercy upon me [Music] it's free after so many years living in darkness and fear every day was a fight five through this night with no hay but today the Lord my redeemer had mercy liqueur me [Applause] I was blind now I see note here worst [Music] now I hear it's free you [Applause] that's great man praise the Lord if you don't have the DVD of that it is definitely worth the effort and we have for the first time this week in our heart of Christmas DVD is now available so I encourage you to get those also I'm not sure how the service will go at the end so let me just make a little statement here that you know we have so many people getting out and our exit is not real good at the moment it's under construction so if you want to linger around a little while they'll have the cafes open you're welcome to stay out there and stagger your exit that way you don't have to just sit in your car you can sit in here and enjoy everything it's gonna be great but you know it's my real honor to have Kenneth come I mean I'm just really blessed by this Kenneth called me in December of 2016 and it was the first time he had ever called me and it's a long story I won't go into the whole thing but I had just made some television programs about trying to get this building finished and I felt like it was pitiful and I was I was apologetic about presenting the opportunity for people to be a part of it and I just watched those three programs and had just said out of my mouth I said god that was pitiful and I said but you know me and you knew I was pitiful when you called me and and you're just gonna have to work with it and I had not any sooner got those words out of my mouth than Kenneth called me and I was shocked first time Kenneth had ever called me and anyway he started prophesying over me that you are gonna get this done it will be debt-free and praise God we are in it today and it all came to pass but as he was speaking over me you know and prophesy and I was sitting there thinking God do you really know how to encourage a guy to have Kenneth Copeland call you and it was just such a blessing and somewhere in the process of talking about we we talked about some things and he says I'm gonna claim you as a spiritual son and I said Kenneth I've always been your spiritual son but very few people knew it and it's his fault because here's the deal and I don't think Kenneth has ever heard this story but when I first got really turned on to the Lord I was in the Baptist Church and he had started holding meetings at Will Rogers Coliseum every month and you did that for what a year or something a long time two years and Jamie and I would drive all the way from siga Ville Texas to go over every time every time and you know I knew nothing when he started out there was just a couple of hundred people in this 3500 seat auditorium and he'd say thank you Father this place is full and I didn't know he was using his faith I just thought that maybe the people had been delayed the busses were sliced I thought he knew something we didn't know but anyway I'd go over and I'd listened to Kenneth and I'd get fired up and I'd go back to my Baptist Church and I'd start preaching these things and we would see miracles happen we would see people healed and great things happen but it would only last for a week or two and then after that I'd be preaching the same things that I had heard but it just wasn't having any effect and I couldn't understand but it happened so often that I actually got to where I predicted it and I said I know this it'll only be good for one or two weeks and then it and it won't be good after that and I just became a habit and I didn't know what was going on and I remember we were at Lake - walking he and Jamie and I were down there and some friends mobile home that they let us stay in and we were studying mark chapter 4 and listening to Kenneth teach on the solar so the and in there it says they only endure for a while because they don't have root in themselves and that was my answer and I said god I know why it's because I'm preaching Kenneth's revelation it's not my revelation and I said never again in my life while I have to say so-and-so said something I'm going to take what people say and I'm gonna meditate on it and I'll make it mine and so Kenneth has been a spiritual father to me from the very beginning I went through one of your services over at brother Nichols Church in 1972 the week after I got out of Vietnam and Joni brought me over there and I had never been to a service outside of a Baptist Church and Kenneth got me so fired up some of your gonna believe I'm lying but it's the truth he got me so fired up I took off running and I circled that building I don't know how many times screaming and yelling and those obviou told me no that that doesn't even sound like that's the same person but I've been saving up baby and I tell you I just got fired up but the reason I never have meant you killeth is because of his own preaching he told me that I would have root in myself and not after quote somebody else so you know what he has been a blessing to me and when he called that time he says if there's ever anything I could do for you and I said would you come and dedicate our building and he said he'd do it so what an honor to have Kenneth Copeland with us and Kenneth I'd like to welcome you to come up here and that's welcome Kenneth Copeland praise the Lord thank you brother right and you just have freedom if you want to sing if you want to dance you want to do whatever I'd like to know why I'm just now finding these things out after 50 years I mean come on man you know the first time we ever talked was three years ago at your ministers conference and I just was telling you how thankful I was and you said well we've known each other forever and I said Kenneth this is the first time I've ever talked to you in my life now I knew your mother and dad Vanetta came over one time and prayed for me she said that the doctor had given her an incurable diagnosis and God told her if I'd pray for her that she'd be healed and I pray for it and she was here and she was so I knew your parents but I had never talked to you till about three years ago and we are just thrilled to have you brother raised thank you very much yeah amen come on chalet man somebody thank

I've been looking forward to this for a whole year now and Thank You Angela and Jamie for allowing me to come and and just have fun with you here tonight praise God god is good and the mercies of God are filling this place I've heard from from the Lord over the last few days and open your Bibles with me first of all the second chronicles chapter 7 this is the account of the dedication of Solomon's Temple and let's begin reading with the first verse there now when Solomon had made an end of praying the fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices this is very very important here tonight and the glory of the Lord filled the house [Music] [Applause] and the priest could not enter into the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house and when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down and the glory of the Lord upon the house they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement and worship and praised the Lord saying for he is good for his mercy endureth forever say that with me for the Lord is good and His mercies in viewer forever I will never forget when I first found that statement in the Bible I was I you know when I was I was raised in a good home praise God and you know my folks like everybody else they started out Baptist and and and like brother Hagin said they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and got the left-foot a fellowship from among the bad listen I had to move on well that was a good thing and they raised me right it wasn't their fault I turned out like I did and and I when I went to Oral Roberts University in 1967 Gloria and I both were scriptural illiterate sand we didn't know one end of the Bible from another and I came across his mercy endures forever and I thought whoa whoa think about that cool man there's hope for me yet Dorit of God His mercy endures forever I thought I really had the idea before I learned concerning the new birth is that I was a new creature I thought I had really sent away before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and there you know there's been never any idea about me preaching or anything like that and glory to God and then I found another scripture he Jesus died for the ungodly and I qualified and its mercy endures forever God thank you Jesus and then I met Jesse and I thought yo oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that note that both verses are true brother Jesse now I've been preaching together for what 30 some odd years praise God yeah Amen now pay careful attention to this fifth verse King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen a hundred and twenty thousand sheep I want you to notice this phrase so they King and all the people dedicated the house of God not just the king all the people dedicated the house of God and I want to talk to you about that for a few moments before we enter into this very special activity it's a very solemn thing we do to dedicate anything till the Lord Jesus Christ started out with yourself then you offered your body as a living sacrifice if you haven't you need to go through that the 12th chapter of the book of Romans holy acceptable I went before the Lord Jesus I had I won't go into all the details of it but I had heard the Lord very definitely talk to me over quite a length of time about Genesis 6:3 the days of man shall be a hundred and twenty years now that's the only that's the only lifespan in the Bible that God declared threescore and ten fourscore if my strength was a curse upon a disobedient people that's that was never supposed to bend the lifespan of man and the Lord kept dealing with me about that about taking the assignment to - to do that to take hold of that and go for this whole hundred and twenty and and I and I went back to Romans 12 and and committed this this body this living sacrifice and in all of them all that has to happen to this body for to carry that out and I'll be 82 in just a few weeks and so I I heard the Lord say something that startled me it thrill me it shook me to my very being my core I heard it I've never heard the audible voice of God I'm open sir I didn't put it this I haven't heard it yet amen oh yeah my day is coming hey I heard this as plain as if it had been audible he said Kenneth I sacrificed my body for yours and I had just been on the treadmill and I was kind of hurting all over and there's some physical things in my body there thank God but the power of God are changing and but I heard this this is how important dedication is it is a very holy and very solemn thing he said I sacrificed my body for years and now you're sacrificing your body for mine coal read oh god Jesse and that just went to my core and it shot a fire in me to to to go to work with this physical body to go to work with whatever I have to do which is my part because of dedication you can't dedicate something that doesn't belong to you do you know that I was having dinner one night with Gerry and Carolyn Savelle and and her mom and dad and and her aunt uncle and Carolyn's aunt said brother Copeland she said we've been building the whole I heard the Lord say tell her that's what wrong I'm trying to give it to her she keeps giving it back nobody owns it the devil just having free rein with the thing I told her that she stomped her foot she said yes bless God that's my house thank you Jesus for giving me that house and later she said after she did that she said that thing just went up like I could just had Springs on it pretty good and we're gonna do that tonight we're gonna receive this beautiful gift from heaven God has done this God has done this do you hear what I'm saying to you this is important we're in the midst of something that could not have happened just in the natural had it happen just in the natural it had just be a building but this is not just a building this is a place where the glory resides this is a place and this is a place where a healings atmosphere is present all the time all the time now we know that God is omnipotent and he's everywhere on this planet but there are places that honor him places query he is acknowledged honored and obeyed and when he has a place like that the very air that you breathe in here has healing in it the very air that you breathe has salvation in it and in the future students coming in here that may be not born again may be raised in church and only got here to realize they had really never had an experience with Jesus and come into this atmosphere and think and just get saved sitting in one of these seats in this amazing what an opportunity you and I have to be a part of this wonderful thing thank you lord and should Jesus Tyrion is coming there will be another generation and another generation Amen I'm gonna be here long enough see it a lot of them amen I only got thirty seven more years you know and then and then I believe hey I'm I'm not staying here one day after 120 you understand that all my hundred and twentieth birthday me and glory out of here yawns hey we're gone brother I'm gonna be preaching somewhere on that birthday yeah and all of a sudden angles see nothing but a couple of dead bodies laying on the platform a couple of dead old bodies like Keith Moore said we don't get too old old people call us almost that oh now glory to God praise You Jesus I'm gonna ask you to do something would you stand with me please Andrew would you and Jamie come up and stand with me please sir I want you to touch the seat if you're over there next to a

polishing it now shining in it and I'm a couple of young preacher boys came out there and said is this alone I said yeah this is it man they said who and they rub in runners and one of them said think

when I was 17 years old my dad worked extra days for months in order to buy me a new motorcycle full man 1952 triumph under bird I thought I've done gone to heaven sure as I'm standing here now think

and by the authority invested in me as a prophet of God I declare before heaven and earth this is a place where the glory of God resides it is a place where healing live thank you Lord Jesus pray thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord now then let's open our Bibles to the 11th chapter of the Gospel of Mark well what did you think how come you know faith is so simple you have to have help to misunderstand it let's go to the 22nd verse Jesus answering saith unto them have faith in God the King James cross reference says have the faith of God which is which is very correct and I learned from brother Hagin and I like this very much have the god-kind of faith Jesus just demonstrated the god-kind of faith when he spoke to the fig tree and within 24 hours that fig tree dried up from the roots for verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he said therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them and when you stand praying forgive if you have aught against any that your father also witches in heaven may forgive you your trespasses faith is a spiritual force spiritual forces are the most powerful forces known to man they are the most powerful forces that exist far more powerful than intellectual forces and of course far more exceeding more powerful than physical forces think about it faith fear love hate blessing cursing joy depression all of those are spiritual forces now I want us to take a look at Hebrews chapter 11 and notice the first verse now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen when is faith now faith is now hope is future faith is now and you remember first Corinthians 13:13 now abides faith hope and love the greatest of these is love well of course God is love amen hope is a spiritual force a future temps forces and without faith it never comes to pass you never do get to it it's always in the future now you remember of course I know you do from Titus 2:13 our Blessed hope and in their coming of the Lord Jesus Christ that's our that's the Blessed hope of the church yes but that's future and it's in the future and we and we have faith in that of course but now let's go over to Philippians chapter 1 and the 19th and the 20th verses verse 19 I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ I know this I know that but it's according to something according to my earnest expectation and my hope what is that earnest expectation it is anxious persistent expectation hope says wow this ain't nothing but a matter of time faith says yeah and the time is now [Applause] you keep looking at those healing scriptures you keep you think there's not a healing there's not a healing verse in the Bible that says I'm gonna heal you it just isn't in there I am the Lord that healeth II surely he bore my sickness and carried my pains amen that's not a promise that's a fact that happened over 2,000 years ago he took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses himself bore my sins in his own body on the tree that I being dead to sins should live unto righteousness by whose stripes I was healed glory to God now the problem I had the Lord arrest me over this several weeks ago I kept working in the area of my faith kept working in the area of my faith II kept and strengthening my faith I mean just going through all of those tabs you see sticking out of the top of my Bible are all healing scriptures healing scriptures the 91st psalm 103 and you know I mean you get to meditating on all of that and I heard the Lord say your faith is strong your hope has become weak he said you're not spending enough time meditating these things you're reading them and you're confessing them and your faith is strong but your hope is weak and so I went back to the first chapter of the book of Joshua meditate let's go over there put your eyes on that a lot of you can quote that now Joshua whoa Joshua is about to go back over that Jordan it's been a long time since he's been there and the last time he was there there was some really really big people there amen well now don't you know I mean he don't you know he still has the picture of of those still in his mind and he's got to go back across ceremony so what does God tell him to do write him this first chapter just what he said in the eighth verse this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth don't you be saying anything don't you be saying anything that's not in my word you keep my word in your mouth don't you talk anything but what what you know from the Word of God no don't you do it all no no no don't you be thinking anything don't you be talking anything but what I said you keep me on your mind not those giants not those walls cities amen but thou shalt meditate therein day and night that you may observe you if you meditate long enough you will begin to see you'll observe revelation comes revelation doesn't come while you're watching the evening news you may get a revelation but it probably won't be from God you get a revelation you know the Lord father said to me he said I can't trust you with the news broadcast turn it off you know I get mad at them people you don't need to be doing that you love them and vote for somebody else but you vote don't you oh yeah sure yeah cool reader God vote them in vote them out you will observe to do according to all that's written therein for then when when you meditated you keep them keep the word in your mouth and you've meditated these verses you've meditated the promises you've meditated the scriptural facts and revelation has come and then you begin to see how to do it you'll begin to see how they how to say it you'll begin to see how to fix the problem amen you begin to see hey I don't have them I don't have nearly as big of financial problems I thought I did glory to God the more you meditate on his word and the more you begin to think about Jesus and talk about Jesus and get Jesus on your mind I mean the smaller those problems getting the bigger he gets the smaller they get and the more you meditate on the problem the more you meditate on how big the problem is and then the smaller Jesus gets in your mind don't let that happen anymore and that comes in the area of hope hope hope is important Hope deferred makes the heart sick makes the spirit sick because faith doesn't have anything to bring to pass if there's no hope amen then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success the cross-reference says then you will deal wisely another translation said you will deal wisely in all the affairs of life glory and I began to think about the days when I was a student there adore you in 67 and O Lord glory and I were so broke man we just needed everything and so I heard I was I was on the flight crew with with brother Roberts I was traveling in in the meeting I was in two of the last tenth Crusades that that they had and I got to see some stuff all telling you glory to God and and I'm listening to Kenneth Hagins tapes night and day I still do Gordy and I go to bed I got a telephone full of them now we go to bed every night and turn on brother Hagin listen to brother Hagin glow already gone one night there was a Oh what I guess year before last maybe anyway there was a service that I really wanted to see again and it was and it was video so I had my iPad sitting there between the two of us in the bed and we're watching brother Hagin and man it was good glory to God he got into some things that night that and I that I had heard about but had never heard him preach that and it was so good and so he began to give the invitation one since Gloria and I are both already saved we figured we could probably go on to sleep well Eileen he's still giving the invitation I leaned over there to kiss her goodnight she said not in front of brother Hagin but we just oh my goodness last night we were listening him and we and and and she kept saying something to me and I kept saying something her and I finally just turned the message on we laid there and preached to one another for about 30 minutes you know but that's what happens that's the way it's supposed to be well I'd heard brother Hagin talking about you know being redeemed from the curse Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us for it is written cursed is every one that hangeth on the tree so that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles and I thought well the blessing of Abraham maybe I better check it out there so the book of Genesis and and oh yeah and I had read that 29th verse ablation 3 and if he be Christ's then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise and I thought hmm in Jesus on his hair that's cool but oh dear Lord Jesus he was rich in silver and gold and channel oh man I just kept getting more excited more excited more excited that's it I got to where I just could order stand myself oh I got so shook up and I got home from school one I've known now since I was with this and I'm their grand another holiday glory Gloria get in here get in here get in she was out in the backyard hanging out clothes boy them days are over forever honey so she came running down here Gloria look at this I said hey we're rich now this ain't nothing but a matter of time you hear me we're rich now fruit no faith was growing every day we had learned that the god kind of faith believes in his heart and says it with his mouth and expects it to come to pass amen but now expects what to come to pass well healing well I know you're healing but why aren't you more excited about it than that no no you're not there yet no no nope nope you're not there yet it's the it's the verses you get excited about that work for you amen I was so excited about that Oh glory to God you know what we begin to think rich we began to talk rich we quit talking poor we begin to think and talk and think I'm the seed of Abraham glory to God and then I found out Jesus is my own blood brother yeah hey I like that I like blood this big I'm a covenant man hallelujah I'm in covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ hi goalie you get to meditating on all that you've meditate on that very long and you keep looking at

possessed thousands of Devils if there ever was a man that Satan should have been able to keep from falling at Jesus feet it should have been him but six thousand Devils and one ruler of the darkness of this world in him couldn't stop it and he fell at his feet and Jesus delivered him just like that you hear what I said he set him free that quick and that's just how quick he can give you a new

Jesus we have believed that we receive standing on the word eggman feeding on the word keeping it coming in our eyes in our ears and our mouth why is it so important to keep the word before your eyes proverbs 4:20 remember then my son attend to my words that means put it first place incline your ear to my sayings I tend to believe what he says instead of what somebody else is I put his word first train yourself train your born-again spirit to the place where any kind of report comes of sickness disease your first thought is what the Bible says not what the doctor says now thank God for good doctors praise God and have been farmed most of Christians are to die but thank God thank God for but the great physician he's still practicing at end of that word meditate in it into where it becomes your first thought yep first well sister so-and-so's got cancer what's the first thought what is about to say let's need to get into prayer we need to move on this thing in the spirit amen well we've got a Oh what are we gonna do what's my what's my first thought the bank or heavens bank my heavenly account amen the word first place then incline your ear to it the Bible says yeah yeah but yo yeah but is in the way it's the badge of unbelief the first time I ever saw Romans 13:8 oh no man anything but to love him and glory and I of course you can't build a doctrine on on one verse of scripture and that really wasn't talking about financial debt there I realized that but then we found we found debt in the curse of the law we found it all over the Bible but when I first saw that I called glory and I said glory look at this she read that my feathers fell her feathers fell there goes her house there goes my airplane what are we gonna do he can't borrow money and what we gonna do here she looked at that I still held it I'm standing in the middle of the room oh my she put her finger on that verse she said if that's what the book says that's what we're gonna do now that was in 1968 we had a lot to learn over the years but thank God we learned it and we've been debt-free ever since and that wonderful now that's to the glory of God you understand I'm not bragging on myself I mean dear lord I proved what I could do which is nothing but the the Grace and the goodness of God amen now I've got everything laid out there before the Lord I'm not gonna go back and pray all that again no I prayed I believe I've received I've prayed I believe I received amen and I have forgiven if I have ought against any but what now be careful for nothing Philippians 4:6 don't be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God father I want to thank you that I have a new heart father I want to thank you that I have a new spine glory to God I want to thank you that I might that I'm debt-free I want to thank you praise God I praise you and thank you well you don't look like it I didn't I'm not going or what I look like I'm not going about what I feel I'm going but what I believe and I believe the Word of God I believe what he said in his word and well you start getting kind of lowdown hey hey your hopes you hope shrinking get back over there in those same scriptures and meditate on them till you start screaming again till you start dancing around the room again amen Jack that hope back up and your faith will just take off it'll soar like a mighty eagle and you begin now listen to this and the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep your heart and your mind that's where Satan is going to try to get into his your mind he's going to try to get you thinking about the pain in your body he's going to try to get you thinking about the debts you're having a hard time he's going to try to get you thinking about the family that's outside the kingdom of God don't go there don't let your mind go there you cast down those imagination you'd say this my mind is my mind I think what I tell my mind to think my mind don't belong to you devil so get out of it I have the mind of Christ and I think like he thinks now you find yourself wandering or thinking something else get yourself back over there you get back down here on your face and you begin to praise and worship and get excited again glory to God now finally brethren whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things are of good report if there be any virtue or if there be any excellence if there be any praise think on these things you can do that I said you can do that but and I'll give you a little tip you can't fight thoughts with thoughts words take precedent over thoughts would you like to do a little exercise here will all of you enter in with me please don't just sit there no don't do that enter into the exercise with you I want you to begin counting from one to ten silently now now outloud tell me your name I thought you said all of you we're going to do it four of you did anyway let's do it again begin counting silently from one to ten now outloud tell me your name what happened to you counting your mind your thoughts had to stop and see what your mouth had to say it will always do this casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ amen you find yourself thinking that way and going off and staying about oh man I don't know it just don't look like this is ever gonna come to pass don't be thinking that don't be doing that what are you gonna well what did i do brother cope just start saying in that life thank you Jesus oh I just want to thank you I believe I received my healing grow rid of God I believe I received my new heart I believe I received my new spine I believe I received my new eyes I believe I received my new ears glory to God I believe I'm debt-free you know what I believe I'm debt-free and even if it's in the middle of the night you just kind of wish for these things to yourself yeah your thinking has to follow what you're saying because you had to think it to say you remember what Jesus said why take he thought saying why take ye thought say Amen you take the thought by saying it you take it by saying it if you don't want it don't say it Amen if you don't want it don't say it you say something long enough for it to register on your heart on your spirit your spirit will cause it to come to pass it'll take over your life and that's on the affirmative side on the god side that's also on the doubt and unbelief side you say something long enough for it to register on your heart that's what the spirit of man does it's created that way by God before hadn't seen the spirit man was created like that I remember what Jesus said the whole kingdom of God is this a man Clint plants a seed in the ground and it's Springs and comes up the earth brings forth the seed the earth knows what to do God created the ground to grow stuff amen and you put anything in the ground it'll try to grow it you put a fence post in there and it'll try to grow it that's the reason it rots the bottom off of the fence post if you don't treat it a wooden one why it's trying to grow it it you put a wooden post in the ground and the ground does its best to break that down it thinks it's a seed and that's breaking it down like it that's what the earth does that's what your spirit does you keep putting things in there and if you put something in there until it registers your spirit we'll see to it that it comes to pass you say it long enough you put spiritual laws into motion well this seems to me like I'll never live past 50 I don't know it just seems like that to me I just gotta believe that on him you better change your mind about that you keep saying that and your spirit will bring it to pass there was a young man and brother Hagins ministry had a very bad accident on the job and went into into a coma you know comatose kind of state well they call brother Hagin he came over to pray and and when he laid hands on him the Spirit of the Lord said spiritual laws have been put into motion and cannot be changed at this time well at first he didn't know what what he was talking about here and so he told his brother about that now he and his brother were were less than two years apart they're very close to him he said brother Hagin I know what that's about he said we had a serious conversation one night and he said you know I'll never live to see I'll never live past 40 years old oh come on he said no no I know he said you know I just I feel like I don't live it and so the young boy called his mother over there he said mother listen what brother Hagin said he told her she said you know he said that all the time the Lord said to brother Hagin and and the boss pastor said lay hands on him and release him they did and in a matter of hours he was gone had a smile on his face and gone less than six months before his 40th birthday spiritual laws have been put into motion that cannot be changed at this time see nobody could change that but him because it's his spirit he made a choice you remember Deuteronomy 30:19 I called heaven and earth to record this day before you have placed before you life and death blessing and cursing therefore you choose life that you in the seed after you may live you make the choice you choose God created the earth and all the fullness therein but then he gave it to men we have decisions to make we have the ability to speak we're the only thing with like God that has the ability to believe it in our heart and say it with our mouth and it'll come to pass we're spirit beings we have that built into our story to God and the more we learn about it and the more we walk in it and the more powerful our words are it changes everything around us now is this good news or what can't you just see the faces of young men and women sitting in these seats hearing these same words and changing what they've been saying changing their destiny hallelujah that's exciting stuff that's what this is all about hallelujah [Applause] I believe I'll close it with this I'm gonna go back over there to mark 11 I was meditating these very verses oh my goodness of how many times I don't know thousands and thousands and thousands of times over the last 52 years because it's the first thing I ever preached and I'm meditating that therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you pray believe that you receive and you will have I started meditating that and just looking at it and just saying it and say and mentally comprehending it him and thinking about it and all of a sudden it was like Jesus was just just and he and if so plain he said Kenneth what do you desire what do you desire he has given us a way to have every desire of our lives met if our desires are not met it's not his fault it's ours because there's the process right there Faith Hope faith receives it gives substance to hope and love himself brings it to pass and and I said well Lord and I told him what I designed he said okay really Lord oh yeah okay that's what you desire yeah that's what I understand okay it was it was like fresh air from heaven instead of are you sure that's what you deserve you better watch out now your little jerk that's not Jesus that's somebody else no he's not like that at all never has been no what so everything you desire when you pray believe you receive and you will have the believing I receive is my part the having is his part yeah I said really believe you receive yo there went my hope right straight up whoa and now here we go again whoa glory to God I believe I received that I believe I received that glory to God that's mine that's mine I believe it I believe it I have a new spine glory to God I believe I receive it hallelujah that is mine it is fear my any mine okay his mine I have it now it's mine now I thank you for it now glory to God thank you Jesus sometimes oh I'm thinking about over the years past I've had out that things happen like that when it happened in just just a few moments and other times that it took longer than that I I had that all the symptoms of the flu this was last January The ministers come now you know a lot of flu all that stuff and I sitting right there on the front row Jesse you know about the next to Jerry and Gloria's sitting there next to me and so I all those symptoms came on me man I started chilling I just sat there under my breath and I said no no he don't say nope nope he bore my sickness carried my pains no that's not mine no no just sitting there doing this nope no no I didn't say it lad enough anybody carry I said I believe I received my total healing from the flu in the name of Jesus it's mine and I take it now I believe I receive it I believe I receive it I believe I receive it Dennis Burke was preaching and I just sit there said I believe I receive it I believe I receive it it took about 10 minutes and ever symptom just disappeared well that's the end of the flu amen now think how much better that is then oh no oh man I believe I'm coming down with something well yeah you're down with it now brother cause you believe you said what you believe you say what you believe I said you say what you believe and if you go to the Word of God take those words and believe them amen and begin to say them then you have what you say but you have to practice it all the time you don't wait until you need your faith now brother hiss you you're late you know you go over to the next-door neighbor and there get in there and help you that's like some guy laying up in the middle of the couch where there's a big old belly sticking out in him you know laying there and and some guy comes in and says gone go on get stuff get out of this house this is my house now not anymore I'm taking this out I'm taking your wife I'm taking this get out of here this is no time to be looking for your barbells so you can fight back you should have been working out all the time so when the guy came in you just exit him to the door amen and you understand I'm talking about the devil praise God you stay prayed up all the time you stay exercised up all the time you stay in the Word of God all the time what better do you have to do nothing put that word first place amen before you do and before you say anything else hallelujah praise the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you get anything out of this tonight praise God stand with me please the Lord instructed me yesterday to read these four things to you before we before we close developing and training the born-again human spirit how do you do that I touched on most of the elements of it tonight but there's four primary laws that govern this number one is meditation in the word number two become a doer of the word not just a hearer only make the decision what I see in the Word of God I'm gonna do it over then Flipkens 4:6 the Apostle Paul listened to all of those things and then he said those things which you have both seen and learned in me do them I could preach these things every day all day long if you don't do it it doesn't work it's the doing of the word so you meditate in the word be a doer of the word put the word first place and then in the fourth place obey the voice of your spirit the voice of your conscience praise God thank you Andrew for writing that book I'm looking forward to reading it that's the voice of your spirit you can practice listening here instead of here practice the presence of God talk to him all the time somebody asked Smith Wigglesworth how often he prayed all right he said well you know I don't pray long prayers have you said about 15 minutes but he said I don't usually go 15 minutes without brain either you talked to God all the time you practice listening listening here making a point learn to put your hands here and guide your attention from here into here and take the time to listen listen to it ask God yes and no questions and listen would you like try put your hands right there say I love you Jesus now listen a lot of you heard I love you too [Laughter] in that wonderful I told you this as simple you have to have help misunderstanding well we've had some really high price religious help over the years but anyway it's just that simple faith is simple hope is simple spiritual things are very simple the thing of it is we're spirit beings and we practice them all the time not knowing amen you used to say you know I just had a hunch said was going to do that I just moved you ever have the phone ring and you knew who it was how'd you know you didn't know who that was come you know answer it and sure enough it was who you thought that was your spirit telling you that this is not some spooky far-out something this is Christianity in the faith Lane this is believing you received this is hoping hi and bringing faith into manifestation and having faith reach into the glory world and bring into this natural world everything you could possibly need in your life well brother Copeland what is the bottom line you ready for it faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God there yet it say it with me faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God again faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God now stay with me cuz I'm gonna throw your little curve here okay faith cometh by hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing by the Word of God come on somebody shout amen I'm busy hallelujah thank you Jesus thank you hallelujah praise God you know you can be seated for just a few moments here I'm just gonna take a few more minutes we're over an hour earlier than last night but let me just first of all say thanks to Kenneth and of course he had Kelly with him and Jeremy and appreciate them appreciate Jessie come in and I appreciate all of you coming this has been special for me and I just appreciate this is really awesome this is the culmination of things you know six years ago on this spot there was nothing and now there's all of these things and it has been a miracle it is a miracle and all of you are a part of it so again I just want to say thanks it's been special for me I've loved it and there's only one thing I can think of that's missing and if you'll give me another I think it's seven to eight minutes we've got a little video that I want to show you because there was a man who used to own this property 1992 he was dying of cancer his help his hospice worker led him to the Lord and the very end he felt terrible about not glorifying the Lord with his life and he dedicated this property to Christian education and had a vision of buildings on this property with glass all across the south side so that people could see packs feet as they learned about the Word of God and on that exact day June the 22nd 1993 I was in England and God spoke to me about starting Karis Bible College and so what this does to me it shows that this it was in the heart of God this isn't something I dreamed up it's got it and I'd just like you to watch this little short video about this I think that will seal the deal and show that this was in the heart of God and then we'll be letting you go right after that so let's watch this video is it possible that God could ordain a destiny for a piece of property the purpose of the sanctuary of Woodland Park was ordered by the Lord through the intersection of many lives over many years to see it become a launching place of blessings to the whole world [Music] it was the kind of property where we needed to share it it was just so amazing and so beautiful and we really felt God's presence there in such a strong way that you have no choice but to share that it was a special place we knew for a fact that the what we called Red Hawk Ranch which is now the sanctuary we knew that land was special we knew it was it was it had really been set aside we realized what a beautiful spot that was and perfect location so we chose to build the house there we almost knew as we were building it that it wasn't going to be for us forever even though we called it our forever home we almost felt like it was for a greater purpose Andrew Wommack saw that property and he had told me he had driven by for years and years coming coming down from the mountains through Woodland Park none of us would have known what God had in store for [Music] dad was a visionary his ideas for the properties in general were different from your average developer or property owner he owned a lot of property in Houston and Texas and also in Colorado when I met Gilbert Jackson he was everything I thought it would be he was very intellectual he was extremely smart highly educated successful he did not connect any kind of spiritual aspect to his business dealings at all he intellectualized it from an early age and up to the very end I couldn't ever imagine actually having a conversation about the person of Jesus in his life and even our lives so he accepted us with our beliefs and our and our what he would probably describe it maybe as a crutch he didn't need he didn't need Jesus we did we wanted to honor God by using these beautiful properties for God's glory dad did not see it that way you know but we were able to do that anyway before he died and I think he saw that you know in our hearts as well but he didn't join in right away with that until the very end in 1992 dad came down with cancer had colon cancer and he had surgery chemo and radiation the whole bit one of the ladies that came to work as one of the nurses not only was a fabulous cook that we all benefited from but she was just an angel she was a believer and she was able to be there the night of his 74th birthday she said mr. Jackson there's just one thing I know you're missing and he was like what you're holding out on me you would have some secret that I don't know and she she told me later she said I wouldn't prepare it I wouldn't prepared she said but God just gave me the words never in a million years my in my mind would I think that merlene and Gilbert would have this relationship where she didn't convince him of anything other than to show him who Jesus was and how to how to attain that salvation Marlene said she just kept you know repeating Scripture and whatever what God would put on her heart to say and he literally visualized Jesus standing in the door extending his hand to him to step through the door and become a believer and dad argued with Jesus because he said I'm not worthy I'm I've done you know bad things and not been a great person and those kind of things and Jesus of course said it doesn't matter step through this door and and he did he took Jesus his hand and he stepped through that door and the rest is history upon dedicating his life to the Lord Gilbert also dedicated his properties he had always been a strong advocate of education but after his conversion his only desire was that people learn to know Jesus with only 11 days to live the little stars celebrated with Debbie's father his new way of life and his new way of thinking at the same time halfway around the world in England God spoke to Andrew Wommack about starting Karis Bible College after what dad called his conversion experience when we discussed the properties he had always talked about his probably very businesslike way now his focus had changed and he said these properties need to be put together and used for Christian uses Christian endeavors Christian education he was a big and education mark and I had lived in Woodland Park for several years in different areas and after Dad died we received that property we decided to build a house out there that's where we wanted to be all the time so we made plans to build the big house and it took about ten months I think to build it we had a wonderful experience some friends of ours that knew we were building had some missionary friends come visit them and they said could we come out and see the property and we said sure and we had broken ground but it wasn't real far underway yet and they were missionaries and they just said you know what can we just pray for you always said absolutely what was their idea for the four of us to face in four different directions north south east and west and back to back we were back to back facing in those directions and we prayed for that property they prayed and we prayed for the property for the construction just for God to bless it for God to use it as he would have his way with it and it was a very powerful moment for mark and I we did say that it's our forever and ever-- house and yet we somehow God did start putting on us that this was never for us in the first place but we were supposed to build it David David had a dream that that we had been equipped and we had everything we needed to to God's kingdom forward with the things that Gilbert had passed on to us and passed down to us in 1999 mark and I had decided with our girls that we needed to move back to Texas to be closer to our families so we decided to sell the property and the sermons bought the property from us Carol and Eddie had known that we had used the property in special ways in the past week they knew that it was a very special property and that our desire for it was that it should be used and shared then they ended up selling the property to Andrew warming ministries and evidently when the Andrew Wommack ministries was inquiring about the property mr. Minh said said oh the little stars will be very happy to know this that they're going to be a Bible College here and that there will be people from all over the world enjoying this property in this home and it just was a win-win situation for everyone for them for us for Andrew Wommack and for all of God's people that will that have been there and we'll be there in the future the little star is now realized that their father's vision for the property was coming true even down to a Christian education building he had seen in his final hours a structure that would have glass walls so the students could see the beauty of Pikes Peak throughout the design process of the sanctuary Andrew knew nothing of Gilbert's vision but as his plans were made public the little stars could see that God had planted Gilbert's vision in the mind of Andrew Wommack revealing his hand in the entire process so we get it I get a call from Andrew and he introduced himself we had heard that a ministry was buying it but Andrew called me on my cell phone and and it was one of those special conversations it was sort of like oh and only a God way this happened I started sharing with with Andrew really the history of this property and of course Deb and I are ecstatic that we couldn't have dreamed this we couldn't have sat down on a whiteboard or a yellow legal pad as we used to with Gilbert and and figured this out it was there was too many variables there were too many unknowns there was no way we could have ever imagined this happening and yet in that phone call it just hit me and then hit us that God God did this and he continues to do this one person Marlene changed one person Gilbert it only takes one person with a little faith and some courage to go out and change the world so that's our prayer for not only our own lives but for the ministry of Andrew Wommack and Karis Bible College that everyone that walks and rides and drives through those gates and sits in those sessions will know that it just takes one person to change the world in looking back and reflecting on where this property has come from before we had it while we had it and as it's passed on to see now that all these people through Andrew Wommack ministries that the lessons they're being taught the lives that are being changed the ripple effect of all of that is mind-boggling it's just really overwhelming to think and to see God's hand so clearly moving and you know we pray for things and we expect things and maybe in our lifetime we see them and maybe we don't but in our lifetime we're seeing the hand of God clearly using that poverty for his ultimate glory and what a beautiful thing the stories that come out of it the healing that comes out of it the blessings not only for those students but for the people that those students will then go and change because of that what they've experienced in that place it's a beautiful thing God is so good he is so good [Music] we had invited mark and Debby to be here and they were going to come and this was going to be special but they had emergency come up weren't able to be with us but man I'm looking forward to some day they having to come and see this vision that Deb's father came to pass we had Merlin Harrison the lady who led Gilbert to the Lord at our dedication of the barn and man it's been special to have all of you here tonight so again Jamie and I just want to say thank you this has been special it is really ministered to me and as Kenneth was talking about tonight it's not about the building is about what God's gonna do in this building that's important so thank you all again god bless you thank you for coming and we will see you here at some other meeting some other time praise God thank you god bless you you are dismissed [Applause]
