Every believer
has a voice, and it's the Voice
of Victory. ♪ ♪ My God has made a way for me Hello everybody,
I'm Gloria Copeland. Pastor George Pearsons
is with us again, and we've got a great
testimony, so don't miss it. - It is really something to
see the hand of God operate in people, to see His protection
just being poured out over them, and later on in the broadcast,
you are going to see a testimony that, I mean, it will
absolutely transform your life. And what we have to do, the same
person that went through this situation, they took the
principles that we teach about the Word of God, they
applied them and recognized that they walk in perfect
protection under God, no matter what is happening and
no matter what is going on- - Or where they are. - They are the untouchables. And that's what this family was. - Isn't that good? I like that. - And that's what you and
I, we are the untouchables, the devil cannot touch us. - We are. As long as we're
walking in faith. - That's it. - And based on the Word of God. We've got Bible, we've
got faith, we're safe. - I was telling
our congregation, and that's what our topic is,
we're talking about God's covenant of protection,
the untouchables. All of these outlines are
available to you, KCM.org, you can go over there
and download them. We have had over half a million
of these downloaded since you and I started teaching
on prosperity. And the protection of God
is so much a part of our prosperity. It has everything to
do with our prosperity. And I started to say, in
talking to our congregation the other day, just talking to
them about how we walk in this place of divine
protection and that it is
so important to be obedient to the Word of God. I told them, I said it really
is important that you're in the right place, and that
you're listening to God, and that you're not at a bar at
2:00 in the morning some place downtown. That's a prescription
for danger, being in that kind
of an atmosphere. So you just really have to be
obedient to the Lord to be where you need to be, and
He will protect you. So we are standing on the Word
of God, and today, Gloria, we're going to look at Psalm 91. - Oh, good. - And I mean, you could do
weeks of study on Psalm 91. It's that rich. It's that thick with revelation. - It's good to study it anyway,
off and on all the time to remind yourself of it. - Often. Yes. Yes. It was the scripture that
Terri and I, I tell you, the Psalm 91 became such a
reality to me when we were in Guatemala years ago. Terri and I had gone down with a
crew, Tim Fox was with us here. He works for the ministry. And several others, and we went
down there to tape an interview with one of our
partners, Jim Zirkle. He and his wife have
a ministry down there. Well, long story short,
while we were down there, we were driving to a little
town called Pajapita, I'll never forget it, and we
were stopped by communist guerrillas and they ordered us
out of the cars, the trucks. - Interesting. - This is the long story made
short, but in the midst of that, Guatemalan military workers
pulled up behind us and we got caught in the
middle of a fire fight. - George! - Yeah. - Wow. - I remember- - That's very unusual. - I remember, Jim Zirkle
hollered out to everybody, he said, "Hit the
dirt!" So we all- - Jim lived
there, he knew what to do. - Yeah, he knew
what was going on. So we all just went to
the ground, except Terri. Terri's looking around, and I've
never ... I treat my wife with ultimate care and respect. Except that day when I grabbed
her by the head and shoved her on the ground. I remember, that thing
went for about ten minutes, and they're shooting back
and forth at each other, we're caught in
the middle of this. I looked up at one point and
there was a guy with a grenade launcher walking by me. I had two thoughts
that came to me. Of course, Aubrey had just been
born and I thought to myself, her face came before me and
I thought, "I can't die. I can't die here."
And all of a sudden, from it seemed like nowhere,
somebody began to pray in other tongues out loud. It was Terri. And we all just jumped
in there and joined in, and that fear turned to faith. - Amen. Praise God. - It dispersed that day. We got back in our vehicles and
we traveled on to where we were going to. I remember when we got to the
hotel that we were staying, motel, little place, I opened
my Bible to the 91st Psalm. And Gloria, I read it that day
like I had never read it before. - Amen. - "He that dwells in the secret
place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty." - Yes, amen. Glory to God. - And this message was really
birthed out of that time, I call it the four
walls of protection. - That's good, George. - There are four major things
in the Word of God that are embedded in this scripture. Our protection comes from four
places, primarily from the Word, from the blood, from the
angels, and from the name which is above every name. - Amen. - Each one of those, Gloria,
appear in the 91st Psalm. You want to take a
look at it with me? - Oh, do it, do it. I like it. - Let's go, let's go. First of all, the Word. If you look at
Psalm 91, verse 4, "He shall cover thee with His
feathers and under His wing shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy
shield and buckler." - Armor, your shield and armor. And of course we read
this a few days ago, but the Hebrew translation
of that means "a circle of protection." Now, let me read
this scripture, John 17:17. "Sanctify them
through thy truth. Thy Word is truth." So
he said here- - So sanctify is to set apart. - Set apart. - Set them apart by the truth. - Yup. - Thy Word is truth. - Yup. Amen. - "His truth shall be
your shield and buckler," or you could say
there, his Word. The Word of God shall be your
shield and your buckler. - Praise God. - So no matter what is
going on in our lives, one of the four walls of
protection that we construct and we put up, we stay
in the Word of God. Gloria, I was up early this
morning doing my daily Bible reading, and we read chapters
from the Old Testament, chapters from the New, and
we're going through the Bible. I was sitting there
thinking to myself, "I am so glad that we as a
church are doing this together," because we're reading the
same scriptures every day- - That's powerful. - And we're feeding
on the Word of God. The more you feed
on the Word of God, and the more revelation that
you get about your protection, the more confident you will be
that no matter where you go- - That's called faith. - You're protected. That's called faith. - Glory to God. - It's called faith. - Hallelujah. - So the Word is one of the
four walls of protection. Let's take a look at the blood. - I like that,
circle of protection. In Hebrew, it means
circle of protection. - Yup. - Your shield and
buckler, surrounded. - And you know
where I got that. - Where? - I got it from you. - You sanctify them, that means
you set them apart by the truth. - You set them apart. Yup. - That's why we're Word people. - The Word of God
separates us- - From the curse.
- From the curse. - That's right. In finances, in healing,
in peace, safety. Glory to God. - It separates us. We are separated out from
the evil of this world. We're in it, we're not of it. - That's right. - It can't touch us. - That's right. Read that next scripture. Have you read 91:10 yet? That's an awesome- - No, we're going into that
right now. That's good. - That's an awesome scripture. Covers a lot of territory. - All right, the second wall
is the blood, and it says, "There shall no evil befall you,
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling." - Praise! No evil and no plague. - No plague. - Glory to God. - Now what you might ask,
what does that have to do with the blood of Jesus? Well, if you look at Exodus
chapter 12 in verse 13, it says, "And the blood shall be to you
for a token upon the houses where you are. When I see the blood-" - When I
see the blood- - "I will pass over you." - Glory to
God, and no plague. - "And the plague shall not be
upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." - They were protected by
the blood. - Protected by the blood. - But if they didn't put the
blood out like He said to, on the door post-
- Well, then ... - We don't want
to talk about it. - No, we don't want
to talk about that. - You've got to take it. - And the Lord showed me
something one time, Gloria, about the fact that we are the
temple of the Holy Spirit. When we take communion, it is as
if we are painting the blood on the door posts of our hearts. - And if you hear somebody say,
"I plead the blood of Jesus over this car, I plead the blood
of Jesus over my children," this is what
they're talking about. They're saying, "My children
have the blood of Jesus on them, they'll not be touched. I stand on the blood
of the covenants, hallelujah." - That's right,
that's right. And of course, Revelation
chapter 12, verse 11, "They overcame him" by what? - The blood of the lamb. - The blood of the lamb. - And that wasn't all. - And the word of
their testimony. - So we overcome Satan by
the blood, that's been done. We stand on it. But it's what we say about
it that keeps you and me individually-
- Individually. - So we take the blood,
we plead the blood. That just means, "I'm standing
on the blood of Jesus." - Praise God. - "His blood's been
shed for me, I take it. I am healed, I am saved,
I am delivered." In Jesus' name. - Praise God. - Hallelujah. - That's why it's so important
that we read the Word of God, that we meditate
on the Word of God, and the Word of God
becomes real to us. - It's got to be inside of you. - It has to be. It has to be. It has to be to the place where
no matter what kind of pressure the devil puts on us, the
only thing that comes up and out of us is the Word. - Every time we're squeezed? - That's right. - The Word comes out. - The Word comes out
when we're squeezed. And that we use
the blood of Jesus. Billye Brim, Sister Billye
says this about the blood. "You make much-" - She's got a marvelous
teaching. - What a teaching she has
on the blood of Jesus. "You make much of the blood
and the blood will make much
of you." - I like that, I believe
it. Glory to God. Hallelujah. - Praise God. - That's awesome. - Well, then the third wall
of protection, the angels. It says here in Psalm
91, verses 11 and 12, "He shall give His angels
charge over thee to keep thee in all of your ways. They shall bear thee up in their
hands lest you dash your foot against a stone."
- Amen. - There they are. - Isn't that awesome? - There they are. - In all of your ways,
the angels have charge. You just don't want to
bind them with unbelief. - That's right. - Or fear. - No. We don't want to decommission
them by doubt and unbelief. We want to release them. And next week on the broadcast,
we're going to spend an entire day talking just
about, the broadcast, talking ... You could
spend an entire day. But an entire broadcast
talking about angels and the protection of angels. But that's right here, and
that's the third wall of protection are the angels. The Word, the blood, the angels, and look at these
two scriptures here. In Hebrews 1:14, "Are they not
all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation." - That's me. - That's me too. - I'm an heir. How did I
get to be an heir? I made Jesus the
Lord of my life. I was born again. I got my inheritance. I became an heir. I got protection, among
a lot of other things. - That's right. - Prosperity, blessing. - And angels are part of the
benefit of the covenant that we have.
- Yeah, that's right. - We should really be
talking about this. I mean, we really
should be ... You know, to keep these fresh in our
thinking and fresh before our minds and ... I was
praying about something, Gloria, the other day about
what I do as a pastor. And do you know
what I do primarily? I primarily remind people
of what belongs to them. - Yeah. - I primarily just keep
reminding them over and over again, pay attention
to this, listen to that. I basically take the things that
you and Kenneth have taught me and just go back over them
and over them and over them. I like what Brother Hagin said
one time to a man that came up to him and said, "When are you
going to get off of Mark 11:23?" And Brother Hagin
answered him and said, "When you get it." - Yeah, amen. Amen. - We have to keep
that before us. - That's not just
a formula with us. That's not just something, we do
it to stay safe, to stay whole, to stay protected,
to stay blessed. We take our place. - That's right. Every time we take off
in the airplane- - Give the devil no place. - The Citation X out here, I
know that you and Kenneth do it, whenever Terri and I are
flying in it, we do it. We just stop what we're doing
and we pray over the flight. I lay my hands on the plane
itself, pray for our partners. Do you know that Kenneth
and Gloria Copeland, every time they take off to
go somewhere on this earth to preach, they pray for you. - Praise God. - So you're taking
off with them. And Gloria, we exercise our
faith in the Word over that flight, we exercise
the blood, we plead the
blood of Jesus over that aircraft, from front
to back, tail to tail- - Wingtip. - And wingtips, and charge the
angels to lift us up and then to set us back down again. - Amen. - The four walls of protection. - I endeavor to do that
every time I get in my car to go somewhere. Plead the blood. Plead the blood of Jesus. - Of Jesus over it. Thank you Lord for a safe trip. - This Psalm 34:7, "The angel
of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers
them." - Praise God. - So those, the Word,
the blood, the angels. - Now, what does that
mean, those that fear Him, that doesn't mean that
you're afraid of Him, that means you honor Him. - Right. You honor Him. - And you obey Him and
you have reverence, is a good word for it. - That's a good way to put it. Reverence Him. - You reverence God to the
degree that you do what He says. That's a safe place. That's a safe place. - The final wall here in this
wall of protection in Psalm 91 is found in verse 14. "Because He has sent
His love upon me, therefore will I deliver Him, I
will set Him on high because He has known my name."
- He knows me. Glory to God. - There is a name which
is above every name. We have the
scripture right here, "God has highly exalted
him." In Philippians 2:9. - Given him a name. - "Given him a name which
is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow of things in heaven, things in earth,
and things under the earth, and that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of
God the Father." - Now when we make Jesus the Lord of our
lives, we get the name. - We do, we get the name. - That's right. - We get the name,
we get the Word. - We're born of Him,
we're born of God. - We get the blood, we get
the angels, we get it all. He set a table before us in
the presence of our enemies, and we take ... We don't
leave anything on the table. - Oh no, we don't. - Don't leave
anything on the table. I like this, Proverbs 18:10. "The name of the Lord
is a strong tower. The righteous run into
it." - That's what we do. - "And they are
saved." - Praise God. Storms, danger of any kind. - Yeah, yeah. - Just because I'm going
somewhere and I'm driving, or anybody else is driving. - That's right. - We run into that name. We believe that, we stand on it. We take it. - That's right, the
name of the Lord. - Sickness and disease symptom
comes, we run into that name. We thank you, Jesus. And we rebuke that off of
us in the name of Jesus. - We are fully protected. We are fully armed. We are fully armed
with the armor of God. I like what Kenneth said, we'll
be reading this next week, I have it with my other notes. But in one of his
recent Partner Letters, he was talking about
this very thing. He was talking about Psalm 91
and protection and living in that place of protection. He said that we have to
put on the armor of God. He said, "See yourself
putting on that armor. Your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace, and putting on the
breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation."
- That's the way we live. - That's the way we live. - Not just when
we go somewhere. - We cover ... As a
matter of fact, Gloria, let's look at that really quick. We got about two
minutes left here. - Okay, go ahead. - Over in Ephesians,
it says this. It says in verse 10, these
are not in the notes, but this just came
up in my heart. "Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God
that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against powers
and principalities, against rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places, wherefore take unto you the
whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil
day, having done all the stand," and the Amplified Bible
says, "Hold your ground. Stand therefore, having your
loins gird about with truth which is the Word of God and
having on the breastplate of righteousness," we've been
made the righteousness of God in Christ. "Your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace, taking the
shield of faith," and what Brother Copeland
said in that letter, he said, "the shield which is taller than
us that goes right down to our feet." - And covers us. - "And covers us. The shield of faith, where with
you'll be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked,
and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit
which is the Word of God." - Praise God. - Now, let me
just comment here, the fiery darts of the wicked. Protected from the fiery
darts of the wicked. We have a family in our
church, the Sorenson family. She works for us in our
children's department. She was in a situation during
convention time last year where she was fired upon
literally with a fiery dart or a bullet. - Wow. - And you need to see this
testimony because- - Ooh, I want to- She had the four
walls of protection covering her
and covering her family. - Praise God, praise God. - Watch this, Gloria and I
will be right back with you. My name is Clara
Sorenson. I was raised in the church, I
actually got born again at a Believer's
Convention in 1985. I have four daughters, and my
husband and I had determined we were going to have all of
our children attend the Believers' Convention. So all week long, we were
attending the convention, our little girls are with me,
our older girls went with the big Superkids. My husband was attending. But by Friday night, that was
July 4th, it was a Friday night, my little girls were tired. They were two and
four at the time. They were tired. So I determined, this is
probably the night they need to go home. I left my older girls and
my husband at convention, drove the 20 minutes
back to our home, put the kids down for a
nap, had a nice evening, and then it was time
to pick them up, so I took a route into downtown
that then became very flooded with traffic. Well, next thing you know,
I hear a sound, a pop, and we sort of all shuddered a
little bit and looked at each other. I looked at my mother and I
looked back at my girls and I thought, "What was that?" So I got out of the
car and looked on top. It's a minivan, and I looked
on top of the minivan and saw a bullet hole. I got back in the car
and told my mother, "We've been shot at." So we
motioned a police officer over and we start to realize the
magnitude of what has just
happened. He lets us know this bullet has
gone all the way through the top of my minivan. So if you imagine me
sitting here in this chair, I could put my finger
right here in my van, and that is where ... So just as
close as my hand is to my head, that is where the
bullet entry point was. So my mother begins to
look for the bullet. He asked for the round, in mom
terms this means the bullet. So she starts looking. We have two captain's chairs
in the front and two captain's chairs behind. I'm in the driver's seat,
Mom is in the passenger seat. Behind me is my four
and a half year old, behind my mother is my
two and a half year old. Everyone's quiet, no
fear, but just quiet. She finds the bullet
underneath my diaper bag, which is between our chairs. Which to me is just another
part of the miracle, because how can you have a
bullet just land under a diaper bag? The bag wasn't injured,
people weren't injured, and there's this bullet
entry point in my vehicle. I said, "It has to be a miracle. This has to be a miracle."
That's all I kept saying. "Angels protected us, it had
to be a miracle." My daughter, who was sitting behind me, my
little four and a half year old, the first words that came
out of her mouth were, "Glory to God." And a bullet
coming into our car and not harming any of us, to hear that
come out of her mouth was just confirmation, again. For us, we didn't have
fear at that moment, and every time we've
spoken of it since, it just compounds and
highlights what God did for us. It just, for me, talking about
it never has it given an opportunity for fear. It has instead solidified
the protection of God. This untouchableness, this
I like to tease that I'm bulletproof. Not in any sort of casual way
or reckless way, but truly, the Word of God protects your
body, protects your mind, everything. How can I explain a bullet
coming into the roof of my vehicle and not touching or
hurting anyone in my vehicle? The fact that we believed
the Word of the Lord, through Brother Copeland
and through Pastor George. All of these things
leading up to that night, us being in that position,
another vehicle not in that position, all
of those things. God is a God of order. He knows what's happening,
when it's happening, and if we will just be
obedient, then we'll eat the good of the land. And so by being in
the position I was in, I truly believe someone else
was protected from injury. By being in the position
that we were in, I'm now having the opportunity
to tell the partners of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland what God did
in that year of victory over death. And does that mean because 2014
is over that now we're no longer in the year of
victory over death? Absolutely not. When the Lord speaks
the Word, it's true from that point forward. So I will never have another
day of my life where I wonder, "Will I have victory over death? Can I have victory over death? Should I have
victory over death?" I already know it's true. - Clara and her family
literally had the four walls of protection surrounding them. Gloria, that is an
amazing testimony. - It is, it really is. - That bullet went through the
roof, went underneath their, what ... The diaper bag
in the car, thank you. And no one was touched. I'll tell you, there's another
testimony that I have. This is from somebody
else in our church. This woman writes, "In
praying for my children, I discovered this
is very effective. My sons and daughter-in-law
just recently experienced a drive-by shooting where a bullet went
through the wall of their home, went through right above
my daughter-in-law's head. My granddaughters would have
normally been in there, were in another room." She
says, "We pray Psalm 91 and Isaiah 54:17 over them. No weapon formed against
them shall prosper." - Hallelujah. Hallelujah. - So Father, right now we pray
over everyone that's watching. And I thank You that the
partners of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the
friends of this ministry are under Your protective
covering and Your
protective care. And Father, I thank you right
now that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
- Thank you Lord. No weapon. - And every tongue that
rises against them, we condemn it for this is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord. - Yes, glory to God. - And their righteousness
is of me, sayeth God. - Thank you, Father. Thank you. - In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. - Thank you Lord. Hallelujah. - And you know what, not only
are our partners and friends protected, but they
are prospering. - Amen. - And we want to thank you for
the continued giving and support that you have to Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. I mean, it is helping us get the
Word of God from the top of this world, literally, to the
bottom and all the way around. And here's a
scripture for you. "But my God shall supply all
your needs according to His riches and glory
by Christ Jesus." The Amplified
Bible says, "He will liberally
supply and fill to the
full your every need." So as you give into Kenneth
Copeland Ministries, it's given back to you. Good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, running over, shall men give into your bosom. - And Lord, we believe for and
with every person participating in this offering. - Yes, Jesus. Thank you. - We add our faith to it, Lord. - Thank you, Father. - Reveal to them Your will,
Your Word, Your inspiration. What it is, we're, all of us,
what are we supposed to do? Tell us and we'll fulfill
that action in Jesus' name. - Praise God. - We are the
blessed, hallelujah. - We are the blessed. - Glory to God. - And we are the untouchables. - And we've got to stay in
the Word to be that way. - That's right. - George and I will
be studying next week, it's called Hidden
in Plain Sight. I want to hear that one myself. Until then, remember, God
loves you and we love you, and [Together] Jesus is Lord. ♪ [Announcer] Thank you
