♪ Every believer has a
voice and it's the
Voice of Victory. ♪ ♪ My God has made a way for me Let's go over to the
Book of Ezekiel. And we will look here in the
28th chapter of Ezekiel. My Bible is chapter,
I mean is page 1022. If you have a Copeland
Reference Bible, that probably the same page. Anyway. The Book of Ezekiel. "And the prophet said the Word
of the Lord came again to me saying, 'Son of man, say
unto the prince of Tyrus,'" Now underline that
if you haven't already, the prince of Tyrus. "Thus saith the Lord God,
'Because thine heart is lifted up and thou has
said, 'I am a God, I sit in the seat of God
in the midst of the seas,' yet thou art a
man and not God, though thou set thine heart
as the heart of God.'" You're not God. Behold and so forth and so on. But now let's go down to the
12th verse, "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the
king of Tyrus." Now here's a guy that thought he was God, but now
we're going to find out who's pumping that
information into him. "And saying unto him,
'Thus saith the Lord God, 'Thou sealest up the sum, full
of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Thou has been in Eden
the garden of God, every precious stone was your
covering, the sardius, topaz, the diamond, the beryl, the
onyx, the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the
carbuncle and gold, the workmanship of your tabrets,
and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that
you were created. 'In the day that
you were created. Thou are the anointed
cherub that covereth, And I have set thee so. Thou wast upon the
holy mountain of God, thou hast walked up and down in
the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways
from the day that you were created until iniquity was found
in you.'" He was perfect when God created him. He was the archangel of music. He still uses it today
to corrupt people. And drive young people
right into hell if he can. Did you ever notice how
closely connected his music and drugs are? Now I want you to see that he
was perfect in the day that he was created, but
iniquity was found in him. He had no tempter that's
why he's doomed forever. He invented the lie. The scripture said, Jesus said,
he's the father of liars. Now let's go to the
Book of Isaiah and look at the 14th chapter. 14th chapter of
the Book of Isaiah. And we'll read nine through 16. And I want to read this to you
from the New King James and then we'll come back. "Hell from beneath
is excited about you, to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you,
all the chief ones of the earth it has raised up
from their thrones. "All the kings of the nations
they all shall speak and say to you, 'Have you also
become weak as we? Have you become like us?' Your pomp is brought
down to Sheol or hell, and the sound of your
stringed instruments. The maggot is spread under
you and worms cover you. How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!" That's what that name means. Son of the morning. "How you are cut
down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart,
'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God, I will also sit on the mount of
the congregation on the farthest sides of the north. I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'
You shall be brought down to hell to the lowest
depths of the pit." He was here on this earth. Now I'm convinced
because of his name, God changed his name to Satan. I am convinced. Turn with me to the
Book of Revelation. It is not the Book
of Revelations. One Revelation, "The Revelation of
Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show
unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass. And He sent and signified
it by His angel unto the servant John." Jesus
has a personal angel. He's called the
angel of the Lord. When you see angel of the
Lord that is not Jesus, that is the angel of the Lord. I'm convinced. Now this doesn't have anything
to do with your salvation, but it does have something to do
with your knowledge of the name and your knowledge of your
authority over the devil. I'm convinced because of his
name that he was Jesus' personal angel. And he didn't want that. He wanted to be in
charge, he wanted to rule. I will be like
the Most High God. The fossil record does not lie. There were beings on this earth, there are signs of
their being here. You can look at the animals and
the art and those animals were not dinosaurs, they didn't have
dinosaurs on the art because we have now
representative of the animals that have been here ever since. But there were
dinosaurs on this earth, there was a race of
people on this earth. They're called the Neanderthal
man, there's a missing link. And the reason it's missing
is because it ain't there. Now the key to this
is in Ephesians 6. Look over there with me. Ephesians 6:10, "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. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, and against spiritual
wickedness in high places." Those are the highest
ranking devils of all. They are the ones that are
involved in nations and politics. Daniel 10. Praise God. Daniel went on a fast. "In those days I Daniel was
mourning three weeks." A 21-day partial fast. "I ate no pleasant bread,
neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint
myself at all till three whole weeks were fulfilled." It's
obvious he drank water, ate no pleasant bread,
but he ate a little along. "And," verse 10, "behold
an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and
upon the palms of my hands. And he said to me, 'O Daniel,
a man greatly beloved, understand the words
that I speak unto thee, stand upright for unto thee I
am now sent.' And when He had spoken this Word unto
me, I stood trembling. "Then he said to me,
'Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that
thou did set thine heart to understand and to chasten
thyself before God, your words were heard, and I am
come for your words.'" This is obviously Gabriel. He's the messenger angel. He couldn't get in there. "But the prince, the prince
of the kingdom of Persia," which is Iran... "Withstood me 21 days,
20 days, but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes
came to help me." Michael is the archangel
of the armies of God. Over whom God is
the Lord of Hosts. "Michael, one of the chief
princes came to help me, and I remained there with
the kings of Persia." And then he began to speak
to him and so forth. "And then he came down
and he said, 'Be strong. Be strong.' And when he
had spoken unto me I was strengthened and said, 'Let
my Lord speak for thou has strengthened me.' Then said he,
'Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? And now will I returned to fight
with the prince of Persia. And when I am gone forth, lo,
the prince of Greece shall come.'" Wicked spirits
in the heavenlies. That race of people that was
on this earth when Lucifer was here, they all died. They are in the fossil record. I told you there's a lot
of time between Genesis 1, and there had to be a flood
and wiped out that whole deal. Animals, people, all,
wiped it completely out. The people, and they were people
they were not human beings, but they were people. That was the Neanderthal man. And he didn't come
from a gorilla. (laughs) We know the gorilla
from this age. Amen. Those, those are
intelligent beings. They're not little imps. Not principalities of
powers, not even the rulers of the darkness of this world
but the wicked spirits in the heavenlies. And they mess with
political things. I just read you where they
were messing with Greece, and they were
messing with Persia. And Daniel didn't have
the name of Jesus, he just had to pray and
intercede and just hang in there and not give up and stand
before God in great integrity. And God moved and laid down the
prophetic words that would go forward and Israel would... Out of that. And then the end
times those words, Jesus quoted some
of those words. And then you come over into
the Book of Revelation and it's all in there. It became part of the
Holy Spirit record. Heavenly records. Amen. That's the reason God said,
"Replenish the earth." Now He's also talking about
replenishing it and all these
other things, but it had to do with that. And like I said, doesn't have a
thing in the world to do with your salvation. You believe it or not,
I really don't care. I mean it's there and
it has to be dealt with, particularly when you're
dealing with the name. Now, you know why
blood had to be shed, you know why God had to get all
this thing back and you know His beginning plan
He could not... He's not going to stop there,
He going to finish this. Amen. He's going to finish it. And so He created one
just like Himself. And poured Himself into him. Amen. And then He made him a wife. And they don't
have belly buttons. (laughs) And I have seen artists
rendering of Adam and Eve and their little
navels are showing. A scar, yes. The navel started with Cain. Amen. Oh, there's a lot of other
things I'd like to get, but time just won't allow. But this shows us
the goodness of God. He just wouldn't
quit, He just kept on. This thing's going to be
good one way or the other, and He just kept on and
kept on and kept on. Now we don't know, we can't go
back far enough to get the very first of that
other creation but I can
tell you this, Lucifer was the most beautiful
of all the archangels. So this must have been a
beautiful place when He created it and the people must have been
absolutely beautiful people. But then they followed him. The whole lot of
them followed him. Adam was never a cave man. And that early creation, I
dare say they were not either until they got warped. And they just kept going down
and going down until they just turned into animals,
and it just had to be flooded. Didn't any of them make it. But God said, "No, let's start
again." "We'll fix this. We're going a step higher."
Because he had a plan. And so now, I'm just making
this up be understand? And you know He just
said, "Well Son, what do you think
we ought to do?" "Well, come on Father. Let's don't give up on them. Oh, I have an idea."" What?" "Make one like me. I'll be a man, make one like me. And I'm ready. I'll be a man if you need me to. And we don't want to get in
this trap again." Hallelujah. And He gave Him a name. Hallelujah. He gave Him a name above
every name that's named. And God's name that is so
powerful that had somebody just said it, He'd just kill you. So powerful. And when Adam fell he couldn't
just run to hug Him up, He'd burned him up. That power and that
glory is just so awesome. No. He had to take care
of him and help him. Let's get this blessing back. And it began for you and me. That's what takes us
into that 91st Psalm. Let's close with it. We did it this morning, I want
to close with this because of the... Glory to God. Psalm 91, three people speaking,
"I will say of the Lord." And then Jesus comes along,
"Surely, Kenneth, He'll deliver you from the snare
of the fowler." And so forth. And then the Father steps in. And He says, "Because he
has set His love upon me, therefore I will deliver him,
I will set him on high because he's known my name. And with long life I will
satisfy him and show him my salvation." Because
he's known my name. My name God was saying. My name. Spelled in Hebrew,
Yud Hey Vav Hey . Greg, I saw you over there. Where are you? Please Professor,
come here a moment. Professor Greg
Stephens ... (applause) Teaches first covenant survey. And he and I have done a lot
of broadcast on covenant and so forth. And so talk to us now. We've spent a lot of time
talking about the name. But what thrilled me
so was Paleon-Hebrew. [Professor Greg Stephens]
Paleo, ancient Hebrew. [Kenneth Copeland] Yeah.
Ancient Hebrew. Now the Cherokee people, there
are Cherokee mounds in... And they excavated those and
they found artifacts that were made out of
Middle Eastern alloy. And they had small drawings on
them and they couldn't figure out what it was. And they took it to a
language expert and he said, "It's ancient Hebrew." This was
before the Hebrew like you and I see those letters. And they were
signs and pictures. [Professor Greg Stephens] If
you would think of hieroglyphs in Egypt, they're pictures.
[Kenneth Copeland] Yeah. [Professor Greg Stephens] And
the pictures are beautiful because the pictures tell a
story that modern Hebrew doesn't or even biblical Hebrew doesn't
when you see the pictures. And one is the name of
the Lord, Yud Hey Vav Hey. [Kenneth Copeland] Yes. [Professor Greg Stephens]
So Yud Hey Vav Hey. Behold, is one letter. The hand. So Yud is hand, Vav is
a nail. Behold. Behold the hand,
behold the nail. That's the name of the Lord. [Kenneth Copeland]
Yeah. Go ahead. [Professor Greg Stephens] It's
a picture symbol for them to be able to recognize,
there were little clues all throughout scripture, for them to be able to
recognize Him when He came. Behold the hand,
behold the nail. Yud Hey Vav Hey. [Kenneth Copeland]
Yeah, Come on. Come on. Hey, that's got to thrill
you through and through. (applause) Hallelujah. Thank you, Greg. Praise God. Oh, praise God. That name, that name. Oh, that name. The name that's above
all names that are named. Names in heaven, names in earth,
names under the earth, oh, must bow their
knee to that name. That name. And you and I know the name. Oh, we know the name! And it's the name of goodness,
it's the name of power, it's the name of wonders, it's
the name of greatness and it's ours! Every Friday's offering day
right here on this broadcast. And we're going to look together
again to the book of Galatians chapter six, beginning in
verse six the Bible says, "Let him who has taught the Word
share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived,
God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows that he
will also reap." Now I want you to skip down to verse 10. Verse 10 says, "Therefore
as we have opportunity," that's what every Friday
on this broadcast is it's opportunity. "As we have opportunity, let us
do good to all especially to those who are of the
household of faith." This is your
opportunity right now. It's an opportunity if you've
heard the Word this week to go back before the Lord and
say, "How would you have me respond to this, Father? How would you have me share in
all good things with the one who's taught me?" And if the Lord has an
assignment for you to partner in faith and to partner
financially with this ministry, then what you're doing is you
are taking the opportunity. Now here's the thing
about opportunities, they come and they go. The windows open and
the windows close. I'm telling you they
don't last forever. So when you have an
opportunity like this, act on it and act in faith. Like I've said, go before the
Lord and find out what your assignment is. And when you sow into this
ministry and ministries like it, you are doing good to
the household of faith. That's what Kenneth
Copeland Ministries is, and that's what it has been
for more than 50 years. A ministry that specializes in
teaching and preaching faith. And teaching other people how to
walk by faith and talk by faith and fight by faith and
believe the Word of God. That's what this
ministry is all about. And when you connect
with it in partnership, what you're doing is making
sure that the same Word that you've heard is getting
into the lives of people all over the world. And those of you who've been
partners with this ministry for a long time now, you
know it's working. You know that this Word, this
Uncompromised Word of Faith has gone out from the top of the
world to the bottom all the way around the middle. And you've seen it,
you're a witness of it. You've seen the Word be sent
through broadcasts like this one, through magazines
that have gone to hundreds of thousands of people,
through the Kenneth Copeland
Ministries website that exists just to get the
Word into people's lives. You've seen it go out through
every phone call, every email, every social media post, all of
it with one mission behind it, get the Word to the people. Now as you sow financially into
Kenneth Copeland Ministries, like I've already said, you're
partnering with a ministry that specializes in
using their faith. So to partners we say
thank you, we love you, and we speak the
blessing over your life. Those of you who are
not yet partners, find out from the Lord if you've
got an assignment to stand alongside Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland in this ministry and preach Jesus to people
all over the world. And the Lord's directing
you into it, do it, and do it in faith and watch as
it opens a door to Him to go to work in your life
in Jesus' name. Thanks for joining
