[Kenneth Copeland] Every
believer has a voice and
it's the Voice of
Victory. ♪ ♪ My God has made a way for me - Hello everybody. Welcome to the Believer's
Voice of Victory. You're going to like
today's broadcast. Pastor George is going to talk
to us about The Untouchables. God's circle of blessing. - That's right. - Glory to God. I like it. - Gloria, over these
last two weeks, which I have thoroughly
enjoyed being with you. - I have enjoyed having you. - We've been talking about
living in God's circle of protection. That protection belongs to us. - Yes it does. - We have a covenant
of protection. - We have a circle
of protection. - Yep, we do, and we have
scriptures after scripture after scripture that guarantee us
that no matter where we are and no matter where we go, we
are redeemed from the curse of the law, we are redeemed from
the curse of destruction. And we can walk out that place
throughout all of our lives, we and our children living
under that umbrella of the blessing of God. - Long life, strong life. - With long life does He
satisfy us and show us His salvation. And His salvation is His
protection, that's part of it. When we talk about prosperity,
you look up the word prosperity in the Hebrew, and
it's the word Shalom. Nothing missing, nothing broken. - Peace.
- Peace. And it also means complete and
total protection and security. That's what that means. - Praise God. - So these two weeks we've
been talking about that. You can go back to the
archives and watch these over and over again. All of our outlines
are available to you. Just go to kcm.org. The information will
be there for you and you can download them. Gloria and I have had
over 500,000 downloads of our outlines since we began 210 broadcasts ago. So we've been talking in these
last few days about the how-tos. How do you take your place in
your position of protection? And today we're talking about,
I would say would be one of the cornerstone messages
of this ministry, and that is the
believer's authority. How do we exercise our authority
against every evil thing that comes against us? - And that's what it takes. - It takes exercising. - To be free, I have
to walk by faith. - That's right. That's exactly right. - And you're going to have to
walk in your authority by faith. - We must walk in the authority
that God has given to us. And it begins in Genesis
Chapter 1 in verse 26. And God said, "Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness," or the
Amplified Bible I believe says, "Exact duplicate in kind. And let them have dominion. Let them have complete authority
over the fish, the sea, the fowl of the air, over
the cattle, over the earth, every creeping thing that
creeps upon the earth." And then it says, "So God
created man in His own image, in the image of
God created He him, male and female created He them. And He blessed them. And He said this to them,
'Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue
it and have dominion over it'." So man has been
given this dominion. He was born with this dominion. And when it says here to
subdue the earth, Gloria, that means if it gets out
of line, you put it back. - Oh I like that. - If it gets out of
line, you put it back. The Amplified Bible says,
"Subdue it using all of its vast resources." And if I might, I'd
like to quote this scripture in Psalm 8 about man's
authority, in verse 6 in the Amplified, "You've made him to
have dominion over the works of your hands. You've put all things under
his feet." And I like what the Contemporary
English Version says, "You let us rule everything
your hands have made and you've put it all
under our power." Gloria, the thing that
I have learned, one of the many things that
I've learned over the years, over 40 years with
you and Kenneth, is learning how to take the
word of God and exercise our authority over the curse. - Amen. - That has been one of
the most important things. You've taught me how to take
the word, to stand on it, to walk it out to victory and
that whenever anything is happening in our lives,
whenever something is
taking place, you've taught Terri and me
to release our faith and exercise our authority. Take authority
over that sickness, take authority over that lack,
take authority over that disease, and take
authority over that
destruction- - We can do it. - ... To keep us in a place of
perfect rest and perfect peace in the Lord. - If you're born again, you
can take authority in power. - Yes. And we must do that. - If you're not born
again, you're way behind, because that's such a good thing
to have been born over again. - We are not subject-
- In the likeness of God. - In the likeness of God and we
are not subject to the times. We are not subject to the things
that are going on right now in our nation and in the nations
that are trying to grip people with fear. We are not subject to that. We are delivered from it,
we are protected from it, and we have to rise up and take
that dominion and take that authority. - There's the blessing
and the curse. When Jesus paid
the price for sin, He gave us an ability to receive
the blessing if we would make Him the Lord of our
lives, then the blessing
would come on us. Then the curse is out there. It's still out there. It's still working on people
that don't have Jesus. - It's still working. - They don't have the
deliverance from the curse. I remember that curse. You didn't know what to do. You'd get sick,
you'd just stay sick. You'd go broke and
you just do without. That's a curse. - That's a curse. - I've been delivered. Hallelujah. - We have been redeemed
from the curse of the law. And even more than that,
in Genesis 2:15, it says, "Then the Lord God took the
man, put him in the garden to dress it and keep it."
And it's very interesting here in point A, number
four, it's very interesting when you look up the
word dress and keep. The word dress in the Hebrew
means to work it, to till it, to be a bondman over it. - Take care of it. - Take care of it. And the word keep in the Hebrew,
put a hedge of thorns around it in order to guard it, protect
it, and watch over it. - So now you know
you have to... the situation, your life,
you have to guard it. - Yes. Protect it. - And watch over it. - And watch over it. - Why? Because Satan's a thief. He's come to kill, to
steal, and destroy. - And we have authority. - And we can't let him
in if we want to be free. - We still have authority over
any kind of attack of the devil in our lives. - That's exactly right. - And I'll tell you,
take a look here at this, what Jesus did in
the face of a storm. You remember that? And I like what you said. Just before we started rolling
here just a few moments ago, Gloria said this. She said, "What do
you do in a storm? You do whatever you've got
in here." - That's right. - That's good, Gloria. - It's got to be
already in there. - It has to be in there. - You can't look
up a scripture. You could, but you'd be late. - You've got to store up
the word in your heart, deposit the word. Because from the deposit of
your heart, your mouth speaks. Or as you said one time, from
the deposit of your heart, your mouth leaks. - Did I say that? - You said it. Because what's ever in there-
- What's in there comes out. - ... is going to come out. And whenever the devil
puts the squeeze on you, if that fear is in there,
fear will come up and out. But listen- - Unbelief is in there. - If unbelief, it'll come up. But if the word is in there and
the word of our authority as a believer is in there, that
word is going to rise up from the inside of us and we
will take dominion and authority over what is rightfully ours. - That's right. That's good, George. - And in Mark 4, we read about
what happened with Jesus in the storm. In Mark 4 verse 37, there
arose a great storm of wind and the waves beat
into the ship. It was now full. Verse 38. - Full.
- Full. It was full. - Oh that was a full ship. - Yeah. It sinks. It won't float. Verse 38, Jesus was in
the back part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. They woke Him up, said, "Master,
do you not care that we perish?" And He arose. He arose. And He rebuked the wind and
He said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." - He arose, He rebuked,
and He said. - Oh that's good, Gloria. - That's it. - He arose, He rebuked,
and He said, "Peace, be still." And the winds ceased. And there was a great calm. - Glory to God. - He said to them, "Why
are you so fearful? And how is it that
you have no faith?" That's how Jesus did it. If you go over there
to the second page. - How is it that
you have no faith? - It says in verse 41,
they feared exceedingly and said one to another, what
manner of man is this? That even the wind
and the sea obey Him. And the Lord spoke to
me one time, Gloria, when I was studying this
out and the Lord said, "Jesus was a Genesis 1:26 man."
He was a man of authority. He was a man of dominion. He subdued. We just returned just recently
from our trip with Billye to Israel, and we were
on the Sea of Galilee. And I was thinking about this
and those waves, Gloria. We were there and it
was beautiful weather. It was calm. There was at one point we were
up on a hill that we could see the entire Sea of Galilee and
it was so peaceful and so calm. But they told us there
that storms can come up just like that. Nine foot waves, 10 foot
waves can come on to the... and that's what was
going on that day. And Jesus, Jesus the Genesis
1:26 man, and you and I... Gloria, you are a
Genesis 1:26 woman. - I receive that. - You take your dominion. - I do. - I'm a Genesis 1:26 man. I take my dominion. I subdue the weather. And that word subdue
if you remember, if it gets out of
line, put it back. - That good, George? I like that. - Put it back. - If it gets out of line. - You put it back. - Whatever it is, the
weather, the money. - No matter what it is. - Your health, put it back.
That's strong word that. - We as believers then. We as believers in Matthew
28, you've got it there. What believers do, what we
do when we face the storm. And it says in Matthew
28 in the Amplified, Jesus approached and breaking
the silence said to them, "All authority and power of
rule in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go then and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost." You and I have been
given this very same authority to take authority and dominion
over dangerous situations in our lives. And this is one quick testimony
here that a woman wrote to us. Lenora heard what she
thought was a train. She ordered her children to
go to the basement and wait for her. She went outside on her balcony
to see what was causing the noise. The roaring she heard was not a
train, it was a large tornado. She stayed on the balcony,
speaking to the tornado until it suddenly changed course. The tornado struck surrounding
houses in her cul-de-sac, filled the air with
debris, but praise God, her house remained
totally untouched. - Praise God. - These are the scriptures that
we began with two weeks ago. First John 5:18. He that has begotten of
God keeps himself and that wicked one
touches him not. - Amen. - In Proverbs 19:23, the fear
of the Lord leads to life, then one rests content
untouched by trouble. What you and I have to do is we
have to exercise our authority, release the authority that we've
been given in the name of Jesus and by the blood of the lamb
and release that authority and see to it that we take
dominion over every evil thing. Stop walking in fear,
stop walking in doubt, stop thinking to yourself,
"When I get in my car, somebody's going to
hit me today." No, you rise up and you take that
dominion and you take that authority and you release
that, just in the way that when you and Kenneth
were driving one time
and saw that car, that woman with children
in her car and it went up. That car went up on the side. You took dominion and
authority over that. - We did. We said to that car, "You
get back down there." It was just like that. - I've been in airplanes with
Brother Copeland before when I've heard him in the cockpit
take authority over the weather. I have heard him. There was one, if you
remember the Viscount, the Vickers Viscount that we had
many years ago and I was sitting in the back of it and we were
going through a rough storm, and I could hear Brother
Copeland in the front in the cockpit, "In the
name of Jesus I take
authority over this right now." And God
got us out of it. - I've seen funnels go back up. - Back up into the sky. - You get out of here
in the name of Jesus. - You get back up
there in Jesus' name. - They go... - Gloria, we have
dominion and authority. - I've seen that at least once. I haven't seen a number
of them, but whatever. - Whatever it is. - ... to have
deliverance from storms. - We have authority over every
kind of spirit of terrorism that would ever try to come upon
our house, our land, our people. We have dominion
over ISIS, Al Qaeda, and whatever other kind of
terroristic spirit that is out there that is trying
to come against us. And you know, something else? We have authority over
the spirit of death. - And you know something else? We're supposed to take it. - We take that authority. - And we tell whatever the
enemy is trying to do, the enemy in whatever he's
trying to do to stop, to cease his
maneuvers against us. - That's right. - Whatever it takes to
say to stop that action, that's what we do. Hallelujah.
- Gloria- - If you hear about an epidemic, there's an epidemic sweeping
the country, people are dying. Don't say, "I hope I
don't get that." No. You say, "I'll never have that. In the name of Jesus,
flu, whatever it is, you're not coming on
my house, my family, or me." - That's right. In Jesus' name. - In Jesus' name. - We take our authority. - We've got to be bold, George. We can't be little wimps. - We must be. And the boldness of the Lord is
demonstrated in this testimony that we want to show you at our
minister's conference earlier this year. - That's amazing. Don't miss it. - Mark Barclay was speaking. And at the end of his message,
he got up and talked about how his granddaughter drowned in
a pool, and what the Lord did, and what particularly
his son-in-law did. - That's awesome. - Every time I see this,
it moves me deeply. We can take authority
over the spirit of death. - That's right. - Watch this and Gloria
and I will be right back. ♪ - This summer, one
of my little granddaughters drowned in the pool. Just a little squirt. And they were fooling
around with a side vent
and she has long hair and she didn't do
it right for the pool and
it sucked her into the side vent. Her daddy was there and her mom
was there and some other kids and such, and it drew her
right against the pool and she drowned. And so finally, one of the other
little kids come running up to her daddy, my son-in-law and
said, "Jayden's not moving. We don't think she's fooling
around." So of course he ran over there. He said, "I put both feet
against that pool, Dad, and grabbed her hair and could
barely get her free from the side of that swimming
pool." But he said, "It was kind of too late. I threw her up on the deck and
me and a friend tried to do whatever CPR we knew and it
just got worse." And finally, shortening the story, finally
the first responders came and they're working on her and
it's going on five minutes. I kept hearing the one
emergency person kept saying to my son-in-law,
"There's no pulse. There's no breath. She's already turned color. She's cold." And other signs
that happen to your body when you die. And she's laying on that deck. And I asked the responder
later at the hospital. He said, "I looked down, we
did everything we could do, Reverend, for that little girl. We do this all the time. And I looked down and we watch
our clocks for different things and I looked down and I'm
looking at five minutes plus. And my brain is saying,
even if she comes to, but she's not going to now,
she'll have brain damage and other things. And then I started to push the
signal that I'm going to have a dead on arrival. And I'm down there and I lifted
my hands off that little girl and I looked to your daughter to
shake my head no." And he said, "Your son-in-law screamed out a
blood curdling like I'd never heard before. No, Satan, you
cannot have my baby. We are tithers. God will rebuke you today." That
paramedic, not a Christian, he said, "I never
seen it." He said, "That little body jumped about
that far right off that deck. Just jumped up, opened
her eyes and said, "Can somebody turn
off the pool, please?" That was her first words. They took her to the... You can clap once. Go ahead. (audience clapping) That's a mighty miracle. (audience clapping) That's a mighty miracle. They took her to the hospital
and the doctor's standing there when they arrived
and I'm there by now. And they arrived
and the doctor said, they unloaded the ambulance and
little Jayden comes walking out. And the doctor's
looking around, he goes, "Where's the girl that
died, the drowning victim?" And the emergency crew is going. He said, "No, no, no, no. I was called in because somebody
drowned." He couldn't even say it, he just. So they checked her all
out and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong." But
they wanted to take her to the children's trauma thing,
you know, the specialist. So they went over there and they
asked Jayden, they said, "Well, what do you feel? Is there something wrong? Do you hurt?" She goes, "No. I'm like Jesus. I've been raised
from the dead." Children's church.
Children's church. That's children's church. - Mark Barclay's son-in-law
exercised his authority over the spirit of death. - He had that in him. - He had it in him. - He didn't have time
to go get it somewhere. - No, it was in there. It was alive in him. And to me, Gloria, that's one
of the strongest demonstrations that I've heard in a while. - It's a miracle. - It's a miracle. It is a miracle of
what took place. - Back from the dead. - And he was not going to let
her just lay there and die. He spoke that word over
her and that's exactly the way we should be. - That's right. - We should take our authority
over every demonic activity in our lives. Whatever it is,
we have the right. We have the right by
the blood of the lamb. - And the power. - And the power
of God to do that. And what Gloria and I are
going to do with you today is receive communion.
And Gloria- - Let's tell them
to, while we're talking, have the elements ready. - Get your elements together. If you need to pause the TV,
which in these technical days, we can do that. Just whatever you need to do,
take communion with us because, you know Gloria, I remember so
many times growing up in this family, whenever
something would happen, whenever something
would take place, we would end up over at your
house and out come the communion elements, and that we
would receive communion with each other. I can remember the times,
Christmas times and times that we'd be together where we would
take communion with each other and take authority
over whatever it is. I remember that time that
Kenneth had the attack on his back and we went over
there to the house and we received communion with
each other and it settled it. And that's what communion does. The blood and the body of
Christ settles every issue. Every issue. - That's right. Praise God. - And so you and I are going to
take the blood and the body and receive it, and we're going
to receive it together and we're going to remember
what Jesus did. Jesus redeemed us from the curse
of the law so that we can walk in the blessing of Abraham. - Now everything bad
is under the curse. - That's right. And everything bad
is under the blood. - That's right. - And we're going to receive
today that communion, the Lord's table. And I'm reading here
from 1 Corinthians 11, where Paul said this, "For I
have received of the Lord that which I delivered to you, that
the Lord Jesus on the same night that He was betrayed,
He took bread. He took the bread and it
said He broke it." And Gloria, this is... that's Jesus. - His body broken for us. - He broke that for us. - Praise God. - He broke it for us
and He said, "Take, eat. This is my body which
is broken for you. Do this in remembrance
of me." Father, as we receive the body
of the Lord Jesus Christ, we receive His protection. - Yes. - Because as Jesus is
so are we in this world. And He is well and He is
whole and He is delivered and so are we. - And He has delivered us. - And He has delivered us. So as we partake of
this bread right now, we partake of every article of
the covenant that belongs to us, especially in the
covenant of protection. - Thank you, Lord. - We dwell in the secret place
of the Most High and we abide under the shadow
of the Almighty. - Amen. - And we settle it today. No evil. - No evil. - Or calamity. - Or calamity. - Shall come near us. - Shall come near us. - In Jesus' name. - In Jesus' name. - Amen. - Amen. - Receive the body
of the Lord Jesus. - Thank you Lord. - Praise God. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. - Thank you for what
you've done for us. - Gloria, we have overcome. As long as I've known you
and been in this family, everything that we've faced,
we've overcome by the blood of the lamb. - That's right. - And the word
of our testimony. - Praise God. - And you do too. You overcome every evil thing. - God's no respecter of person. - And Paul said after the same
manner also he took the cup, and when he had supped saying
this cup is the new testament in my blood, do ye as often as you
drink it in remembrance of me. - Praise God. - So Father, we lift the cup
before you of the blood of Jesus and we plead the blood, we
plead the blood of Jesus over our lives. - We take our deliverance. Healing. - Wellbeing. - Yes, everything, healing,
deliverance, wellbeing, protection. - We're delivered from the
curse, the whole curse. - We receive this
now in Jesus' name. Praise God. - Hallelujah. - Praise God. - Praise the Lord. - Now, Father, we pray over
this offering today and we declare and we say that
every partner is walking in a place of
supernatural provision. That Lord, you are supplying
everything according to your words and we send
now the angels. Angels, you go. As a matter of fact, Gloria,
repeat this after me and you repeat this after me. In the name of Jesus. - In the name of Jesus. - I send my angels forth. - I send my angels forth. - You go out there right now. - You go out there right now. - You bring my
harvest back to me. - You bring my
harvest back to me. - My angels are
ministering spirits. - My angels are
ministering spirits. - Bring me the
equipment that I need. - Bring me the
equipment that I need. - Bring me the
house that I need. - Bring me the
house that I need. - Bring me the car that I need. - Bring me the car that I need. - Bring it to me
in Jesus' name. - Bring it to me in
the name of Jesus. - In the name of Jesus. Father, we thank you for that. - All of our needs are met. - Lord, we pray over our
partners and friends, every one of them, every one
of them that is sown into this ministry. Thank you. - Bless them. Increase them.
Heal them now. - Thank you. Yes. Bless, bless. Bless, increase, multiply. - Thank you, Jesus. - Right now in
the name of Jesus. - Praise you, Jesus. - In Jesus' name, we pray. - We pray. Amen. - Gloria, we are untouchable. - He is our source. We lack for nothing. - He is, He is, He is. He cannot steal or kill
or destroy because we are the untouchables. - Satan has no power over us. - That's right. - In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. - Praise God. - Thank you, George. That was good. I hope you did it with us and
you do that with your family. I mean you do it at church
of course if you go... You should go to a church that
receives communion and you do it with your family. You stand your ground against
sickness, disease, poverty, problems. Somebody is trying to
sue you, take communion. - That's right. - Whatever it is. Glory to God. Hallelujah. If you missed any of the
broadcast this week, watch it on kcm.org. It's free. Or on our Roku channel. Get in a good church that
preaches you the word of God. - Amen. - Learning how to
hear the voice of God. That changes everything, George. - It does Gloria, it does. - When you hear God or you're
reading in His word... You're hearing God when you read
it in His word and you obey it and you agree to
it and you take it. Hallelujah. This is Gloria Copeland
