(Singing) I know my God has made the way for
me. I know my God has made the way for me.
ANNOUNCER: Believe and act on God's Word
and receive your healing. Join Kenneth Copeland on
the Believer's Voice of Victory for Healing School
as he brings a powerful prayer and confession
to live and stay in divine health.
KENNETH: God is doing things, and--and we're off
to another level. Praise God. (Cheers & Applause)
AUDIENCE: Good works. KENNETH: It is very, very
important to continue to grow your faith all the
time, ever-increasing faith. AUDIENCE: Hallelujah.
KENNETH: The apostle Paul wrote to Thessalonica, and
he said, "Your faith grows exceedingly." Now, this time
next year, you need to be able to believe for more than you can
now. (Audience "Amens") And you ought to be believing now for
more than you could last year. (Audience Agrees) Amen. And
continue to grow, continue to grow. And in order to do that,
you have to--you must spend time every day listening to God.
AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: You ought to--you really should. And
if you're not doing this, make a commitment to the Lord about it.
You should be listening to at least one faith CD a day.
(Audience "Amens") Amen? (Audience "Amens") I believe it
was F.F. Bosworth said, "And people wonder why they're
so--why their faith is so weak." He said, "You feed your body
three hot meals a day and your spirit one cold snack a week."
(Laughter) And that's--it don't work. Amen. This inner man
requires food. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: And this is--this is
the only area that you're allowed to be a glutton.
(Laughter) AUDIENCE: Amen! KENNETH: Amen. But it's not
enough to feed on the Word. You have to act on the Word.
(Audience "Amens") You remember Jesus said, "Have faith in God."
He said, "Have ears to hear." Go to the 13th chapter of the book
of Matthew. Matthew 13. I've shown you this before, but I
like it. I'm going to look at it again. 13th chapter of the book
of Matthew. Jesus said in the 15th verse, "This people's heart
is waxed gross, their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes they
have closed." They closed them. If you can close them, you can
open them. It's a decision, not a feeling. It is an obedience
decision. "I am going to obey what He said. I'm
opening my ears. I'm opening my eyes." AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: Now, "Lest at any time--" Say, "Any
time." AUDIENCE: Any time. KENNETH: Any time is any
time, isn't it? Now, look down there at the 19th
verse. "When any one hears the word of the kingdom--"
Now, that's what we open our ears to. So look at this: "Lest
at any time they should see the word of the kingdom with their
eyes and hear the word of the kingdom with their ears, and
should understand with their heart, and should be converted."
When you allow the Word of the kingdom to convert from fear to
faith, when you change the way you--you allow the Word of the
kingdom--by renewing your mind and you change the way you
think, you change the way you talk, you change the way you
act, you've gone from disobedience to obedience in
having ears and eyes. Well, and then what? Do you see it? "I
should heal them." There's your healing right there. "But
blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they
hear." Now, Matthew 28:18, "Jesus came and spoke unto them,
saying, All power," or authority, all authority, "is
given unto me in heaven and in earth. Therefore, you go--" This
is right after He'd been raised from the dead. Mark 16:15-20,
"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel. These signs
shall follow them that believe; In my name--" AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: What's He doing? Delegating authority to the Body
of Christ, His authority. AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: Amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Now, let's look in the book
of Ephesians 1. Oh, I love the Word of God, my, my, my.
Ephesians 1, we'll start with the 16th verse.
"I cease not to give thanks for you, making mention
of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory
of his inheritance in the saints, what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to us-ward," or toward us, "who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and
set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far
above--" not just above, far above, "--all principality, far
above all power, far above all might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and
gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is
his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." Now
come down to the 6th verse in the 2nd chapter. "And hath
raised us up together, made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ." Where? Far above all principality, power, might,
dominion, and every name that's named. Cancer is a name, and we
sit in authority far above that name! (Audience Agrees)
Poverty is a name! We have power and authority over that
curse! (Audience Agrees) AUDIENCE: Hallelujah.
Thank You, Father. KENNETH: Far more than
we have any idea about. Glory to God. Well, you
know, there's a lot of people that have the idea that,
"Everything is on top of me. It just don't--doesn't seem like
nothing ever works out for me. I'm just praying and praying and
praying and praying. Nothing--(Grumbling)--don't know
what--" Oh, shut up. (Laughter) Amen. (Audience "Amens") No. We
sit, not stand, we sit on the throne of grace-- AUDIENCE:
Hallelujah. KENNETH: --in authority-- AUDIENCE: Yes. Amen.
KENNETH: --with an advocate, general, royal command, and
chief of the universe, and we are right there next to Him. The
scripture doesn't say, "Come crawling up to the throne of
grace." No, it says, "Come boldly." What does that mean? It
doesn't say--it doesn't say, "Come sassy." AUDIENCE: Right,
right. KENNETH: It said, "Come boldly." I belong there.
AUDIENCE: Right. KENNETH: I'm supposed to sit there. AUDIENCE:
Right. KENNETH: I have a place at the table, you understand?
(Audience "Amens") That's the reason why people that are--that
really just are doing everything they could trying to figure out
how to get Jesus to heal them. And the little Syrophenician
woman said, "You know, we don't even get the crumbs. The dogs
get the crumbs." And so they--so born-again, Holy-Ghost-baptized,
tongue-talking, supposedly healing-believing Christian,
"Oh, Jesus, just give me a healing crumb. Could you just
give me a--" Quit begging. AUDIENCE: That's right. Amen.
KENNETH: I'm not getting under that table for crumbs. AUDIENCE:
Ha! No. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Come on. Praise God.
KENNETH: Amen. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Pull up to the table.
AUDIENCE: Praise God. Glory. KENNETH: Hallelujah. AUDIENCE:
Hallelujah. KENNETH: "Would you pass me some of that healing
please?" AUDIENCE: Glory! Yes. KENNETH: See, Jesus said--didn't
He say it to the Syrophenician woman? "Healing is the
children's bread." AUDIENCE: Amen. Glory. KENNETH: "Would you
pass me some of that healing?" AUDIENCE: Glory. Glory. KENNETH:
Did you get anything out of this tonight? AUDIENCE: Yes, sir.
(Agreement & Applause) KENNETH: Hallelujah. AUDIENCE: Amen.
Hallelujah. KENNETH: We need to learn how to come to the place
where you're not getting sick and getting healed and getting
sick and getting healed and getting sick and getting healed.
AUDIENCE: That's good. KENNETH: Get healed and stay that way.
(Audience "Amens") AUDIENCE: That's right. KENNETH: Stay in
divine health. AUDIENCE: Glory to God. KENNETH: Take care of
yourself, spirit, soul, body. Take care of your mind.
AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: You have the mind of Christ.
AUDIENCE: Yeah, amen. KENNETH: Use it. AUDIENCE: Glory to God.
KENNETH: That--that's the anointing that is on Jesus'
mind, and it's available to us. Philippians 2, this is talking
about the same thing. Read in Verse 9, and then we're going
back up. "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him," this says, "a name." Well, we already know better
than that because of what we read in Philippians--I mean, in
Ephesians the first chapter. "He gave him his name which is above
every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things--" Notice that it's italicized. He's talking about
names. Above every name that's named, not only in this world,
but in the world to come, "--that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of names in heaven, names in earth, and
names under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Now
back up to the fifth verse. Carnal religious minds recoil at
this and can hardly say it. That's the reason it said, "Let
this mind be in you." You have to make a decision to think this
way. "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God." Equal in authority, equal in that name,
equal in the name of Jesus! When you speak that name, every demon
in hell has got to bow his knee. (Audience Agrees) But they know
when you believe it and when you don't. AUDIENCE: Amen. That's
right. Amen. Hallelujah. KENNETH: The devil is a fear
sniffer. He's sniffing for fear, and if it's there, and you're
speaking the name of Jesus, and he's, "Really. Bow to you? And I
just heard you talking about how you're scared of this and scared
of that?" But when you rise up, and you say, "Father, You said
in Your Word to fear not. I may be standing there with my knees
a knocking. I refuse to fear. I have not been given a spirit of
fear, but the spirit of power, dunamis--" AUDIENCE: Hallelujah.
KENNETH: "--love, and of a sound mind." Sound mind. Fear-filled
mind is not a sound mind. "But I want you to know, praise God, I
refuse to fear. I refuse it, Satan, and I'm telling you, in
the name of Jesus, Whose I am and Whom I serve after Whom I
have been named, take your hands off my child." (Applause)
AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: You start doing things like that,
"You know, Satan. You know. You know I'm committed to walk in
love." AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: "You know I walk by faith. You
know you can't touch me." AUDIENCE: Amen. Glory. KENNETH:
And just read I John, the whole fifth chapter to him. "This is
the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he
that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus--"
AUDIENCE: Yes. The Anointed One. Whoo! Amen. KENNETH: Out of me.
AUDIENCE: That's right. Hallelujah. KENNETH: Amen. Amen.
And he will pack up his stuff and get. He is fear the way God
is love. He cannot be anything but afraid. AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: And you just come across with just a small amount
of resistance, and he'll run. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH:
Hallelujah. AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. KENNETH: Well, I'm
going home. (Laughter) Stand with me, please. Say it, "I'm a
believer." (Audience Repeats) "I'm not a doubter. I receive
healing in my head. I receive healing in my ears. I receive
healing in my eyes. I receive healing in my nose and sinuses.
I receive healing in my mouth. I receive healing in my throat. I
receive healing in my chest. I receive healing in my stomach. I
receive healing in my back. I receive healing in my kidneys. I
receive healing in all of my internal organs. I'm healed on
the inside, and I'm healed on the outside. I'm healed in my
hips. I'm healed in my legs." Oh, I got the dance in my legs.
(Cheers) Hallelujah! Whoo! "I'm healed in my knees." (Audience
Repeats) "I'm healed in my thighs. I'm healed in my calves,
and my feet are full of joy. I am healed from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet. I'm bold in the Lord. I encamp
in His camp, and His angels are encamped round about me.
Hallelujah! I'm strong in the Lord and in the power
of His might. I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able. He's
ready, He's willing, He's able. And together,
we have the victory!" (Applause)
