[Kenneth Copeland]
Every believer has
a voice and it's the Voice
of Victory. ♪ (singing) Hello everybody
I'm Kenneth
Copeland, and this is the Believer's
Voice of Victory
Broadcast, and it's already
Friday. Yeehaw, amen. We've been talking about
becoming very, very aware, that you are a spirit. You have a soul made
up of your mind, your will and your emotions. In other words, the
intellectual part of you. And you and your
soul live in a body. Now, Jesus taught something
that is so revealing, so revealing. A certain rich man and
Lazarus, remember them? It's one of the parable. It was a certain
rich man who died. He went into Hell, you
remember the story? He looked up and saw Abraham
and knew who he was. Had he ever seen Abraham? No. Now, he's a spirit
being, he's still alive. His body is up top somewhere. Listen to what
Abraham said to him. "Son, remember..." Where was his brain? I don't know, in his body, but
his spirit and soul was still intact and he
was in hell. Now, his nature
was still the same. "Have Lazarus come and
give me water." He still wanted to
boss Lazarus around. Now that's a lot of
insight into that. His memory was still intact. Here your mind
uses your brain. Your brain is part of
your physical body. You are a spirit, you
have a soul made up of your intellectual system,
and you live in a body. Now let's go to first John. Like I said earlier this
week, first John is one of those little books. I mean, look how
short this is. You can read it, takes
a little while So the Lord had me reading
this for day, after day, after day, after
day, after day. Why? I'm searching for
revealed knowledge. Anybody can read it, but
there's important things started just
jumping out at me. The Lord began to talk to me
through this little book and it began to build on the
inside of me, years ago, and just kept getting
stronger, and stronger, and stronger, and
stronger, and stronger. It's a lot of years ago, but I taught for something
like two years on the love of God, and taught it out of
this little book. Then 9/11 happened. November after September, we
have a meeting every year in the Washington DC area,
and have for many years. I'm on the way to the venue
that night in the car, and the Word of the
Lord came to me. He said, "I want you to
strip the fear out of the body of
Christ, strip it out. They have no
business with it". He said, "You launch
a war against fear, the war on fear". Well, I'd been preaching
on the love of God and perfected love of God
casts out all fear and people... but then, wow, wow,
oh, God, oh God, oh
God. And I preached on, I
don't remember not how
long, long time and wound up and
then somebody listened. Amen. Now, let's go over here. Oh, this little book,
I've marked it up so that it's hard to read it. But now listen, we're going
after revealed knowledge, right? Anybody can read this book and
I read it a long time and then it just began to get
bigger, and bigger, and bigger. And this little book caused me
to get bigger on the inside than I was on the outside. That's what happened to me
when I first realized what had happened when I got
baptized in the Holy Ghost and began to speak with
other tongue. Man, I could talk to God
and in a language I didn't understand. Now, let me show
you for instance, and all of you at one time or
another have studied first Corinthians 12, 13, 14. And I'm just praying along
in the spirit and He said, my mind is unfruitful, and
I'm just enjoying this. And all of a sudden, all of a
sudden, revelation knowledge, and the Lord just
quoted Mark 11:24
to me, "Therefore, whatsoever
thing you desire when
you pray, believe that you
receive it, and you
shall have them," as long as you're
speaking in
English. Uh-oh... You talk about a revelation,
I'm praying in the spirit. Now I've learned to say Lord,
and I got divine secrets from Francis Weymouth
instead of mysteries. "Lord, Glory to
God, hallelujah. I believe I received it." I'm
praying in the spirit about certain things. I believe I received it. And when I pray for my
partners in the spirit "Father, I believe
I received that. Whatever they need,
wherever they are, whatever they're doing, I
believe I received that." You pick up on that? See, what was that? That was revealed knowledge. Now listen to this, I
was just reading along, just enjoying this,
"You're of God, little
children," and I've read it
a lot of times. You have overcome
them, well, because
greater is he that's in you, than he that's in the
world and he's
talking about the devil and
the Antichrist. For a long time, a long time
until I really got it over to myself the Spirit of God, I
called Him the greater one. "Oh, greater one that lives
within me, greater one. No, you're so great. You're the greater one."
And in my estimation, He just kept getting bigger,
and bigger, and bigger, and bigger. He's the greater one, He's my
comforter, He's my teacher, He's my standby,
He's my advocate, He's my strengthener and
He's with me forever, and He's not just
along for the ride. Hallelujah. There had to be,
revelation of that, that I am not just filled, I
am full of the greater one. Greater is he that lives in me
than he that's in the world, the greater one. I get bolder and bolder
as I go and I began to... This little book started
getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Oh, God. And verse 16, we have
known and believed
the love. Oh, God, what does
that mean? And believed the
love. I know you love me,
I believe the love, I have faith in that
love, I believe that
love. I'm a little baby
Christian and His own disciples
came to Him and said, "Lord, don't you care? Don't you care that
we're about to die here? Lord don't you care? Why do you let
death come on me?" He didn't let
death come on you, you let death come on you. And I'm going to say to you
again like Gloria said, depression, that's grieving
when you hadn't lost anything. She said, "Depression is just
thinking about yourself all the time, and that's enough
to depress anybody." (laughs) She's got her way, that girl. Hey man, that's enough
to depress anybody. Amen. Now the greater one
we've known and
believed. I believe the
love, I believe
it. He loves me, He
cares for me. God loves Kenneth,
God loves Gloria. Amen. God loves the president, God
loves the vice president. I've just got the
victory, hallelujah. God loves this nation and
He's not done with it. And neither are we. Hallelujah. And this thing got
bigger, and bigger, and bigger and I
just kept going. There is no fear in
love, but for a
fact, a growing maturing
love casts out
fear because fear has
torment. Well, who's the
tormentor. Jesus said who he is. he said "Devil himself."
Well, hey, fear, if there's not any fear there,
he didn't have anything to hand on. The torment is the handle. If the fear is there, but
perfected love casted out. I refuse to fear. When Lindsey, our
granddaughter had meningitis and Gloria
and I were in Colorado, we were headed there too
as fast as we could go. But Kelley turned around and
looked at her sister Terri. She said they had diagnosed
her and they had children dying from it. Right here in Forth Worth in Cook's Medical
Center for children. So I already knew what to
do on the way home in the airplane. And the Lord
simply said to me, "You touch her
breastbone and say, "Lindsey, I speak to the
anointing of God inside you and I command it to rise up and drive this disease
out of you". But now when that infectious
disease doctor told Kelley, in so many words, "We don't
expect her to live overnight." She said, "Daddy, that came
down on me like a black cloud." And she just went
over there to her sister, Terri and said, "I refuse to
fear." And then Kelley told me, she said, "Daddy that
thing just evaporated," and I knew
right then
she'd live. Well, thank
God. For Lindsey, she was
11 years old then and she just gave birth
our 10th great-grandchild. Little Colette Olivia. Now that happened
over Christmas and little Colette Olivia was
born just after Christmas. Yeehaw. Kelley refused to fear. That fear was tormenting
her, she refused it and it had to get out. Are you loving this or what? Now, and all things, oh, God, there is no
fear in love. Perfected,
maturing, love
cast out fear. He that fears is
not mature in
love. We love Him
because He
first loved us. Glory to God. And if a man say, " I
love God and hated
his brother, he's a liar. For he that loveth
not his brother
whom he has seen, how can he love God
whom he has not
seen? And this is His
commandment we
have from Him, that he who loveth God
loveth his brother
also, whosoever." How many whosoevers
are in here? I'm a whosoever and
I'm a whatsoever. Whosoever believeth that
Jesus is the Christ is
born of God. Glory to God. And everyone that loves
him, that begat loveth
him also If you love the
father, you love
the children, in other words. By this we know, by this
we know, by this we
know, we know something
here, it's been
revealed to us. We know it. Glory to God. We know it. We're not just
believing this,
we know it, that we love the
children of God
when we love God and keep his
commandments, for this is loving God
that we keep his
commandments and his commandments
are not grievous for whatsoever is born
of God overcometh the
world, and this is the victory
that overcometh the
world even our faith. My Lord, my God. Now, this is the victory. This is the Victory Channel,
this is the Victory network. I've been on this since
the very beginning, that I'm talking about
the very beginning I was in a meeting up in a
little North Texas town, meeting in an old abandoned
store and I had my outlines in the motel there, and I had them all laid out on
the bed, on my knees. And I said, "Lord..." He said, "Listen to me, you
preach and teach victory. Victory in the new birth,
victory and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, victory over sickness, victory in righteousness,
victory..." And he just named off all of
these different things. Victory. I started right then on
the radio, on the radio, the Victory Broadcast,
then on television, and now on network, and this is a Believer's Voice
of Victory broadcast. Amen. So now then, how much time
do I have Tim, please? Good, I can do this. "Whatsoever is born of
God overcometh the
world. This is the victory
that overcometh the
world, even our faith. Who is he that
overcometh the
world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son
of God?" Do you believe that
Jesus is the son of God? Then you are a world overcomer. Whether you're overcoming or
not, that's what you are. If you believe
He is the Christ. "Well, Brother Copeland, I
don't know anything about overcoming the world." Well, that's because you don't
know anything about faith. This is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our faith. This little book
is a faith book. It's a love book,
faith book. Amen. And you just keep
on going. I want to get down here today. Verse 13, "These
things have I
written unto you that believe on
the name of the
son of God that you may know
that you have
eternal life, and that you may believe
on the name of the son
of God." Now, how many of us
believe on the name of
the Son of God? Everybody in
here. Amen. "And this is the
confidence that we
have in Him, that if we ask anything
according to His will
He hears us. His Word is His
will. His will, He's never changed. He's the same yesterday,
today and forever. In the first
covenant, He said, "I am the Lord that heals you.
I am Jehovah-Rapha." If healing has passed away, He had to change His name. That isn't going to happen. He has to change it. He's the same God. Jesus is the same Lord, and He's God manifested
in the flesh. and this is the
confidence that we
have in Him, that if we ask
anything according
to His will He
hears us. And if we know that He
hears us and say we
believe it, we know it according
to His Word. "We know that we have the
petitions that we
designed on him," and so we can... And let's go back to big John,
right there in the covenant meal in the 16th chapter
of John, he said, I'm going to just
paraphrase this, "Up to now
you've asked
me nothing, but whatsoever you
ask the Father in
my name, He will give it."
The same man
wrote this. So put those two
verses together. Hey, what else did Jesus
say, whatsoever thing
you desire when you pray, believe
you receive them and you shall have. Hey, we got it
cornered, we got
it surrounded. And any of y'all old enough to
know what a round house is, that's where they put trains
and turn them around. And a good friend of mine used
to say, "Go to round house, they can't corner you there." (laughs) Well, Hey, we
kept this corner. We've got it coming and
going, pushing and shoving. Hey, revelation, whatsoever
you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
whatsoever you loose on
earth shall be loosed
in heaven. Well, if binding
doesn't fix it,
loose it. Glory to God. Hey, authority
of the believer, authority and the power
invested in the body of Christ. Jesus said, "All
authority has been
given unto me, both in heaven and in earth,
therefore you go in my
name." Delegated His authority. Now He's in heaven, He doesn't
have authority in the earth except through His body. He's the head where the body
that authority is in us. Praise God. We know that
whosoever is born of
love sineth not, but he that's begotten
of love keepeth
himself and that wicked one
touches him not. Glory to God,
hallelujah. And we did it. We're out of time. Jeremy, help us boy. (clapping) Thank you papa. Today we saw how receiving
revelation knowledge can
come from praying in the
spirit, and receiving
God's love, and casting out fear. God's Word and His wisdom
bring revelation to help you see His divine
plans for your life. I think partnership
is covenant. So there's where
someone might have
strengths, the other person has
weaknesses and where I might have
weaknesses, other people have
strengths. We need to have an impact
around the world. And what better way to
have an impact around
the world than to be a part of what
Kenneth Copeland Ministry
is doing. We uphold this ministry by
what we sow into it, so it keeps
going. And so, because we want
lives to be changed like our lives were changed. And so that's our part, their
part is they keep sowing. They just keep sowing,
they keep sowing, they keep sowing and we
partake and then we sow back and that's partnership. That carries far more
than just giving of
your finances every single month, but it
carries with it an
agreement and a partnership
and actual covenant in a union with a ministry or whoever
your partnering with. Partnership is working
together to accomplish a common goal, and our
common goal is Christ
to come back and for us to touch the lives
of all the people we can before He does. We found
out from the start, that partnership
meant that this
ministry was also praying for us and
standing with us, and expecting God's blessing the way they're
experiencing it. For me to experience it too. And that's what Vicki and I
started to see happen all the time. It has been so powerful
all these years. That's why we've remained
partners since 1973 and don't plan on stopping ever. Every Friday on the
Believer's Voice of
Victory is offering
day. And the Bible says in
Galatians chapter 6, verse 6, "Let him who
is taught the word
share in all good things
with him who
teaches." Now listen to
what verse 7 says, "Do not be
deceived," or
you might say, quit kidding
yourself. "God is not mocked
for whatever a man
sows, that he will
also reap. For he who sows to his flesh
will of the flesh reap
corruption. But he who sows to the
spirit will reap of the
spirit everlasting
life." Now, if you've been
taught the Word
today on this broadcast,
and I know you have, and the lights come on and revelation has come to you, that's a good thing, and that's what this ministry and this television broadcast is
all about. But don't forget you and I have a scriptural, spiritual assignment to respond to what we've heard, to respond in faith to what
we heard and quit kidding yourself, don't be deceived, God is
not mocked. When you sow you reap. Now, when you sow to the
flesh, you reap from the flesh and it's
not good. But when you sow to the spirit you reap from the spirit everlasting life. And when you sow into Kenneth Copeland Ministries, ministries like this with the
assignment to teach and to preach the Uncompromised
Word of Faith from the top of the world to
the bottom and all the way around the
middle, that is sowing to the spirit, that is sowing and saying that I don't want this to just
stop with me, I want this Word and this
revelation to get into the lives and the hearts of people all
over the world. And when you do that, that makes you a partner with Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
in this ministries. And partners, listen, you know
this, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland are
praying for you every single day. And since the very beginning
of this ministry in 1967, they have been faithfully
preaching this Word of Faith. That's more than five decades that this Uncompromised Word of
God has been shared on television, on radio, in print. Now, going out all over the
Internet through social media, through events and so many
different avenues and outreaches. And when you sow your financial
seed into this ministry, those are the things you're
supporting, and you are connecting with a
ministry that specializes in walking by
faith. Amen. Partnership is powerful. So we invite you to go before
the Lord and find out if you've got an
assignment in preaching this Uncompromised
Word of Faith all over the world. Thanks so much for tuning
