(Singing) I know my God has made the way for
me. I know my God has made the way for me.
KENNETH: Turn to II Corinthians, Chapter 4, the 13th verse.
Now, here the apostle Paul, he says--the 13th
verse, he said, "We--" Now, he's talking about all of them
in the church at Corinth plus himself. "We having--"
Jesus said, "Have faith in God." "We having the same
spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed,
and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore we
speak." All right. Now look and listen to what Jesus said and
see if He's not talking about exactly the same thing Jesus is
talking about here in Mark 11:23. "For verily I say unto
you, Whosoever--" This a spiritual law. "Whosoever," any
breathing human being can use it. AUDIENCE: Yeah. KENNETH:
"Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and
be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt--" where? In his
head? AUDIENCE: No. Heart. KENNETH: No. In his heart.
His--your spirit is your heart. "--shall not doubt in his
heart," in his inner man, "but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass--" believe what? Believe
that those things which he says shall come to pass, "--he'll
have whatsoever he saith." AUDIENCE: Yes. Yes. KENNETH:
Now, let me read that again slowly, and listen to it like
this: "--shall not doubt in his heart," his inner man, "but
shall believe that those words which he saith shall come to
pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith." AUDIENCE: Amen. Yep,
yep. KENNETH: So where is the faith? Believing what you say
comes to pass. Now, what is the ironclad guarantee of it coming
to pass, just like you desired it to come to pass? "All of the
promises of God in Him," in Jesus, in Christ," are yes--"
AUDIENCE: And amen. KENNETH: "--and amen." AUDIENCE: Amen.
Hallelujah! Yes. KENNETH: So you start with that promise, or you
start with a Bible fact. "Himself bore our sins in his
own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should live
unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." That's
not a promise, that's already happened. AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: That's a Bible fact. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Boy,
I'm telling you, you can--you can hang your helmet on that.
AUDIENCE: That's right. Yes. Amen. KENNETH: Well, you can
stand on that, see? AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Now, that needs
to be, then, what I'm saying-- AUDIENCE: Yes. Exactly. KENNETH:
--is to say that. Don't try to make something up. Say what He's
already said. AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. That's right. That's
right. Amen. KENNETH: Wow. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Now,
this is what John was talking about in I John, in the 5th
chapter, when he said, "We know if we pray anything according to
his will, we know we have the petition that we desire." Well,
what is His will? His Word. What kind of person would God be to
promise something that it wasn't His will for you to have?
AUDIENCE: Right. KENNETH: See, that--that's foolishness.
Religious foolishness is what it is. And it comes from actually
not knowing what God said to start with. You--being you take
the Bible literally. Well, of course. (Laughter) Otherwise
what's the use in it? AUDIENCE: That's true. KENNETH: "Well, it
looks good in my nightstand." Well--(Laughter) We won't go
there right now. (Laughter) "Therefore--" When you see
"therefore" always stop and see what it's there for. (Laughter)
I wasn't smart enough to think that up. I got that from Brother
Hagin. (Laughter) "Therefore I say unto you--" So the very
principle of faith, where it comes from, how it's released,
and what you have to believe for it to come to pass, Jesus
immediately used it. "--he shall have whatsoever he said.
Therefore I say unto you, Whatsoever thing you desire--"
now, wait a minute. We just got rid of the mountain that we
don't desire. So we kicked the mountain out, now we're going to
bring in here what--what we do desire. (Audience Agrees)
"Therefore I say unto you, what things soever you desire, when
you pray, start believing." AUDIENCE: Amen. Yes. Oof!
KENNETH: Now, hold your place there and let's go over to the
20th chapter of John's Gospel. John, Chapter 20, Verse 24,
20th chapter of John's Gospel. John, Chapter 20, Verse 24,
"Thomas, one of the twelve...was not with them when Jesus came.
The other disciples therefore said to him, We've seen the
Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands
the print of the nails, put my finger into the print," or in
the hole, "thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."
Now--now, what--what has Thomas said? Thomas said, "I won't
start believing unless that happens." AUDIENCE: Yep.
KENNETH: But now here Jesus said, "When you pray, start
believing." AUDIENCE: Yes. Amen. Amen. KENNETH: You release your
faith then. AUDIENCE: Amen. Not after you see something, feel
something. Because if you're waiting to see something, feel
something, it's--it's--it--you know, tomorrow never comes.
(Audience Agrees) AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: You keep pushing
it away from you. Look at it again. "Whatsoever thing you
desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you
shall have them." But it's dependent on something. "When
you stand praying, forgive if you have ought against any: that
your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your
trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your
Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." Now,
He has already--now--hey. I used to tell the kids when they were
little, "Get your catchers out because I'm about to say
something." (Laughter) He's already forgiven us our
trespasses. He's not holding our trespasses against us. AUDIENCE:
Right. Thank You, Jesus. KENNETH: But He can't do
anything about it if you won't forgive. (indistinct responses)
He can't. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: You're resisting
forgiveness. AUDIENCE: Amen. Amen. Yeah, yeah. KENNETH: You
can't resist forgiveness here and receive it here. AUDIENCE:
That's right. Amen. KENNETH: No. Spiritual things--help me say
this, Lord. Spiritual things are not linear the way we think. God
is not there. God is there--forgiveness is a
is not there. God is there--forgiveness is a
spiritual thing. AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: If I won't forgive you,
I'm resisting God's forgiveness for me. AUDIENCE: Amen. That's
right. KENNETH: But the moment I forgive and I repent--can you
see? I forgive, I repent. Glory to God. Now, how do you--turn
over to I John. This is another thing that the Mark 11:23, 24,
over to I John. This is another thing that the Mark 11:23, 24,
25 rule applies right here. You can't walk in Mark 11:22, 23,
and 24 by feelings. AUDIENCE: That's right. KENNETH: "Well, I
just don't feel like He heard me." Your feelings don't have
anything to do with it. "Well, I just feel like I don't have any
faith." You can't feel faith. AUDIENCE: That's right.
KENNETH: It's a spiritual force. You can't feel it. Now, there
are times when it--when a force becomes tangible like the
healing anointing. There are times it's perceptible and warm,
warmness particularly. It's part of the fire, part of the glory.
But you don't judge it by feelings. AUDIENCE: That's
right. That's right. KENNETH: You judge things by what God
said about them. AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: Thomas said, "I will
not. I will not do it. Unless I can see it and feel it, I won't
believe it." Abraham said, "Be it done unto me as you have
spoken, according to your word." AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: So now,
you cannot receive Abraham's blessing with Thomas'
faith-- (Audience Agrees) --because there wasn't
any faith there. Now, natural human faith and spiritual force
any faith there. Now, natural human faith and spiritual force
of faith are completely two different things. Now, I John
1:7, "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." Now, look at
this. Here is a--here is a covenant promise: "If we confess
our sins, he," Jesus, "is faithful and just," or
righteous, "to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness," as long as we don't feel guilty anymore.
(Laughter) Doesn't say anything about your feelings. It said
He's faithful and just to forgive you when you confess it,
and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. So if He
cleansed you from all unrighteousness, what's left?
Righteousness. (Audience Agrees) Amen. (Audience "Amens") "Yeah,
but I just--(Mumbles)." Shut up, righteous. Quit acting like
that. "Well, you mean I ain't supposed to feel guilty?" "Well,
I feel guilty for not feeling guilty." (Laughter) That's when
you have to school yourself in the faith. This is what He said,
this is it. I see it. I see it. I believe it. It's the Word of
God. Isaiah 43:25 backs it up, glory to God. Colossians, the
first three chapters, backs it up. Praise God. He blotted
our--our sins. And the 103rd Psalm, all--all of these words
back that scripture up. So, I believe that in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ. "Well, I confess Jesus, uh--uh--" Come
on, come on, come on. Don't you start trying to skirt around
this. Call it by its nasty name. AUDIENCE: Yes. Amen. KENNETH: In
order to live and walk by faith, to have any kind of success in
the kingdom of God, you're going to have to get brutally honest
with God, and you're going to have to get brutally honest with
yourself. (Audience Agrees) AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Not
condemning yourself, just honest. "I've been skirting
around this thing all this time. It's not my problem. It's sin."
AUDIENCE: Amen. Yep. KENNETH: I lied. Do you
know the Scripture's telling the church at Ephesus,
"Stop lying to one another"? AUDIENCE: Yeah.
KENNETH: Just get really straight. You start getting
straight with Jesus and straight with yourself, you'll
be surprised how much stuff, fire, purging fire, can start
blazing on the inside of you. And I want you to know, the more
courage it builds up in there, and you get to where you can
say, "Sir, I did it. I repent. By faith I receive my
forgiveness, and by faith I believe I receive my cleansing
from that unrighteousness. Thank you very much." AUDIENCE: Amen.
Praise God. KENNETH: And shut up. AUDIENCE: Yes. (Laughter)
Amen. KENNETH: Anything else you got to say, say it in tongues.
(Laughter) Just say it in the Spirit. (Applause) Just begin to
praise and worship. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Begin to praise
and worship-- AUDIENCE: That's right. KENNETH: --instead of,
"Oh, I just wish I had the--oh." When you start that, "I don't
know. I just--" (Laughter) --you're just saying to
Jesus, you know, "I know what You said, but I don't
believe it." AUDIENCE: Yes. Amen. KENNETH: Boy, it's getting
quiet in here. (Laughter) It does when you start talking
about sin, it kind of has a way, doesn't it? Well, there's the
answer to it in Mark 11:23 and 24 and 25. Right there. It
may--now, if this was something that was ongoing and you came
under conviction of the thing, and finally dealt with it,
particularly in the area of forgiveness and unforgiveness
and so forth, and you just, "Well, I forgive her by faith."
(Laughter) "Jesus said to, and I'll do it." See, forgiveness is
not a feeling. (Audience Agrees) It's an act of obedience.
(Audience Agrees) This is an order. It's not optional. All
right. Let's close this like this: This is the faith of God.
Look with me in Romans 12. "I beseech you therefore, brethren,
Look with me in Romans 12. "I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service. Be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of
God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every
man that is among you--" Now, he's writing this to the
believers in Rome. "--not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God
has dealt to every man the measure of faith." Now, He's not
dealt to every human being the measure of faith because the
Scripture says all men don't have faith. "Deliver us from
wicked and unreasonable men: for all men have no faith." All men
among you, every born-again child of God has been dealt the
measure of faith. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Now, how did it
come? "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
So, every person that ever accepted Jesus as Lord and
Savior, the moment they received him, they were recreated and
became a new creature, new species of being, not just a
forgiven sinner. You're born again. AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: Now, every one of us received the measure
of faith. Every one of us got exactly the same
measure of faith. Now, there are those that
did absolutely nothing with it. And there are those of
us that have done something with it and continue
to live by--and you know, the apostle Paul said, "Your faith
grows exceedingly," ever increasing, always increasing,
always growing. Well, Jesus talked about, you know, "Why is
it you have no faith?" Then He said to others, "Why is it you
have so little faith?" So if you've got a little faith--if
you've got a half faith, that means you can have a--you're
full of faith. That means you could be half full of faith. You
could be--you know. Well, it's measurable is what I'm saying to
you. So, you have the--a measure of the same faith
with which God created the heavens and the earth.
ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.
