welcome to the believers voice of victory from Kenneth Copeland ministry download the notes at KPMG org slash notes hello everybody welcome to the believers voice of victory broadcast I'm Kenneth Copeland father we thank you today and we praise you we lift our hearts we lift our minds we open our eyes and ears to the Spirit of the Living God that dwells within us to hear words from heaven that move heaven on the earth and we thank you and we boldly declare that the greater one that lives within us will equip me to deliver this word to deliver it in and empowered with faith and revelation and we thank you for every gift necessary for every gift of the Spirit necessary for people to hear this word accurately and that the Moving's of faith be throughout this radio and television audience all over the world faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and you sent your word and it healed them glory and I boldly declare by faith people will be saved people will be baptized in the Holy Spirit people will be here people would I mean mighty and wondrous miracles will happen today I believe it in my heart and I say it with my mouth and you said it when you were on the earth Lord Jesus that you went with them working with and confirming the word with signs following and it will happen to date just like you said hallelujah and praise gone kill the Lord and praise and thanksgiving for they men let's turn once again to the book of Romans we're talking about faith calls things that be not as though they were and believe the word in your heart say the word with your mouth do the word with corresponding action it will be manifest it will come to pass now let's go back to our our scripture foundation here and then as I promised you yesterday we'll go over to the eleventh chapter of marks and see what Jesus had to say but verse 16 romans 4 therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed not to that only which is of the law but to that which also which is of the father the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all as it is written I have made thee a father of many nations now here's what's interesting about this God called him that and then he became that so God was doing the very same thing then he called things be not as though the working study that after said as it is written I have made thee a father of many nations didn't say I'm gonna make you a father of many nations he said I have made you a father of many nations and abraham believed it before him the cross-reference says like him so like God before God like God in his presence even whom he believed even God who quickeneth quick and quickens means to make alive who makes alive the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were now Abraham did that in God's presence now notice what it says who against hope believed in hope that he might become the father of many nations according to that which was composed was spoken he believed and being not weak in faith he considered not his own body now dead only when he's 100 years old neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb he staggered not at the promise of God he staggered not at the blood covenant promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith giving glory to God being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able also to perform it now he said old man you don't care I'm not moved by what I've about what I feel or see about my agent 100 years old what there was that me and he said old life I mean you you don't count either I don't care I don't care if you're 90 years old couldn't never have had a baby in your life God made covenant with us and he promised us a son and I believe it in the heart and I say it with my mouth I am the father of many nations and that's the way it will be and that's the way it was glory to go now then let's go over to that well yes sir mark 11 and we will look at the 22nd 23rd 24th verses Jesus answering saith unto them have faith in God now I want to speak here again to those of you that that think well now brother Copeland you know this problem and I'm involved in it so big I just don't have that kind of faith I just pray to God I said God give me that kind of thing no no baby then oh wait a minute uh-uh no no have faith in God the Greek text there says have the faith of God now we know we know that we are born again not of corruptible seed this read first Peter the first chapter we're born again not of corruptible seed but incorruptible seed by the Word of God which lives and abides forever we're born again of the Word of God amen now if you don't have faith enough inside you then you've got a corruptible seed there's no way so don't ever say don't don't don't done ever say that again I just don't have it yes you do i I have the faith of God in me because I'm a born again child of God I'm a believer and his faith is in me now it is in that seat the faith is in the scene the faith is of God is in the word faith cometh by hearing hearing by the word of God that comes out of the word which has faith in it praise God now have the faith of God let let me reorder that just a little bit so you get let this hymn pack you this is the way it impacted me nearly fifty years ago this is the way the faith of God works alright 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 listen but shall believe now there's believing but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith or whatever he says now believing in your heart and saying with your mouth all right now notice verse 24 therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you pray do you see them remember what it said a few days ago that the calling things that that are the way they are will quit and hoping they change would be like saying to a stove give me some heat and I'll put in some wood no there's not anything there to make the heat you have to believe it before you see it that releases the faith which is the substance of things hoped for or the things desired amen there's not anything to bring it to pass because it takes faith to bring things from the unseen spiritual realm and manifest them in this natural realm amen what things soever you desire now that doesn't mean just desire anything you want to know no these things have to be word-based remember that faith cometh by hearing hearing by the Word of God you go to the word and find the blood oath promises that give you the things you desire amen and you line them up with the word what things soever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them now I learned these things from brother Kenneth Hagin many years ago oh yeah almost 50 years ago be 50 years ago of this this come our lie got hold of my first Kenneth Hagin tape in that see that was in the first few days of February of 1967 february march right in there it's all be 50 years gentleman and his testimony oh if you hadn't heard his testimony praise god you need i mean you need you need to be if you're a student of faith you you need to be studying brother Hagin you need to go back and get what he's what he's taught all these years praise God oh yeah he was giving his testimony he was born with a deformed heart in fact let me just say this he was born in maturity was too small that that you could hit that little baby was so small they didn't when he was born the doctor thought he's dead and his grandmother this discerns part of life he's born at home and she said she has she's fed him with a with an eyedropper and it's just a miracle of God of course they didn't in now the doctor told him son just stay in the middle of the road and stay ready to go first place nobody's ever lived with what you have over 16 years and he is bed fast and he's coming up on his 16th birthday he told him he said now now son we would if the if you deformed heart didn't kill you this blood disease would kill you and the paralyzation would kill you and eventually he was almost totally paralyzed so now and he said we would have to replace everything in your chest cavity everything in there all of it we would have to be real we would have to replace that for you to have any chance of living now as you see what kind of miracle yet happened and he said oh god I just don't have faith for this well now this happened over period of time I'm just shortening so you get it and the Lord pointed out to him like I pointed out to you because where I learned it I pointed out to you that he had the faith ago he's already believed for the biggest miracle there is that exist which is the new birth so and he got hold of that well over a period of many many months he got a hold of the Word of God and he said I see what I must do I must believe I receive my healing before I feel anything before I see anything and he's laying on a bed almost up from the waist down he's totally paralyzed he said I see what I must do and and and he heard the Spirit of God on the inside of him just like you mean anybody else here they'll listen he said so now you believe you're healed he said I certainly do then he said healed people ought to be up this time of the morning and he said yeah see what you believe it in your heart you say it with your mouth and you follow it with corresponding action he said I reached down he didn't wave at 89 pounds he reached down and he couldn't feel his legs and feet if they had to throw him out of the bed and he just collapsed and he called a hold of the bedpost and pulled himself up now listen I want to announce to my to Almighty God I want to announce to my Lord Jesus Christ I want to announce to the devil I want to announce to all the angels in this room and ever demon in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I am healed and I will walk today and he grabbed a hold of that post and he begin to pull himself up hallelujah and he he said my goodness oh my oh my oh my he said I began to feel in my legs and he said it hurt but he said he said man I'm telling you it hurt bad but he said he'd heard good shout and cry with joy and and he said that within a few minutes time he was standing up straight on his feet glory to God now I wanted to tell you this I heard him say it myself he took physical exams he he he took exam for life insurance and the under thin not only was his heart beating right but he God did what that doctor told him that would have to be done he we he recreated his whole chest cavity everything in there he said when he would take a drink of water he could feel it in to go down one side and around this way and back it and finally get into his stomach all those tubes had to be recreated and re fast and everything is stomach everything in there had to be totally changing it did praise God and him oh this thrills me so I know it's thrilling you see the Word of God and faith work when it's put to work but it's governed by spiritual laws and it's just like anything else the laws govern electricity electricity would have worked in 1800 nobody knew the laws an airplane would have flown an airplane would have flown in the Garden of Eden but nobody knew the laws but eventually the laws of physics which were created by the laws of the spirit that's the reason they they mirror one another amen and when you put the elements of those that law together faith works there's no such thing as faith it doesn't work no such thing is the word that doesn't work well I tried that faith stuff brother Copeland and it didn't work for me that faith stuff tried you and you didn't work God's Word always work now don't get don't don't get upset about it go to the Lord and say sorry I missed it here some way instead of say well I guess it's just not his word for me to have slept yourself every time you think of that I mean it get to give yourself a pop on the face and say no no no I'm never saying that again Jesus suffered I could have this so I can have it sir and I've prayed this I've done it many many many many times that did the same thing here recently and and God my answer I say sir you can't miss it it's your will for me to have this I see this there it is right there my faith based on this promise but I'm missing it somewhere show me what I'm listening and I take the first chapter of James that promise of James there that that that it says any man lack of wisdom let him ask of God to give her the Liberty to all men breath enough let him ask in faith you're gonna have them you have to follow the rules of faith and just be quiet there's been times I took off for three days to do some fasting and praying to receive the wisdom of God I've never gone the whole three days without receiving it the words I mean just snap up on the inside yeah all but brother : I mean you a prophet it's don't work for me because I'm called as a prophet or a teacher or doesn't work these things don't work because he calling Peter said that at the beautiful gate he said when you look you on me as by our holiness or our calling made this man strong it didn't happen because Peter was an apostle it happened because he was a believer and he did what God told him to do and and he made a command in the name of Jesus he said it was faith in the name of Jesus that made this man strong glory to God faith were no such things faith it doesn't work there's faith that's that's not applied correctly and then you just you just it I mean there may be something and maybe something in your life don't need to be there if you got a bunch of fear in your life you will need to deal with that and God will tell you how many times did he say when you remember what he said to Jay Iris fear not believe only she will be made Oh usually faith jr's but don't you let the fear in their fear tolerate it is faith contaminated faith will contaminate your fear you stay in the word you keep listening to your CDs you keep watching your DVDs you keep watching the believers voice of victor network you keep you keep hearing the word of faith you keep getting involved in the word of faith you pray and God will show you a church to get in little preach the word of faith if there's not one in your area start one go to rid of God I mean hey it works when it's put to work and there it is right there you believe it in your heart before you feel it you say it with your mouth before you feel it you act on it with corresponding action before you see it or you feel it it may not come right at the moment you need to be believing it well but you need to just get on the Word of God and don't you ever quit calling things that be not as though they work I mean our Satan you ha ha ha you think I'm sick but glory to God I'm not I'm healed I was healed 2,000 years ago and Jesus got my healing from me and I believed it and I received it and you can just shut up and pack your stuff up and get out of here cuz I'm not moved but what I feel I'm not moved by what I've what I see a movement what I believe and I believe the mighty powerful Word of God amen right tell you up your bed and walk ah somebody just did go rid of God I didn't just say that I'm gonna come out of my it came out on the Spirit of God hallelujah
