0:23

We go over to the book of Galatian.

0:29

Praige God. Thank

0:32

you, Lord Jesus.

0:36

Now this is the apostle Paul, the

0:39

spirit of God speaking

0:41

through the apostle Paul to

0:44

the Galatian. And to

0:46

you and to me. A

0:50

gentile is just

0:52

simply someone without God.

0:55

Well, we're not gentiles. No,

0:59

we are not. So

1:07

the apostle, this great apostle is

1:09

teaching all through this. Paul

1:12

and apostle, not a man, neither a

1:14

man, but by Jesus Christ, God, the father

1:16

who raised him from the dead, and all

1:19

the brother in which are with me

1:21

in the churches of Galatia, grace be to

1:23

you and Pete. Now listen to that. Grace.

1:26

Grace. Grace

1:31

is to the gentiles. Shalom

1:35

is to the Jew. That's right.

1:40

That's worth an amen. I

1:44

said that's worth a name, man. Maybe

1:51

I need to go back singing. I don't know.

1:56

Verse twelve, I never I never received

1:59

it of man Neither was I taught it,

2:01

but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

2:06

So he begins to teach concerning

2:14

Abraham and the faith of Abraham

2:22

So comes over especially

2:25

in this third chapter

2:28

Food escalations who have been which to you

2:30

that you should not obey the truth. Before

2:33

whose eyes Jesus Christ have been evidently

2:35

set forth and crucified among you.

2:38

There's only what I learned of you receive

2:40

you of read the spirit by

2:42

the works of the law or

2:44

by the hearing of faith, by

2:50

the laws of faith. We've

2:52

already understood that now. Yeah.

2:55

Are you foolish having begun in the spirit?

2:58

Are you now made perfect by the flesh?

3:00

Have you suffered so many things in vain?

3:02

If it yet, it'd be yet in vain.

3:05

He therefore has ministered to

3:10

you the spirit and work with miracles

3:12

among you by

3:15

the works of the law, or

3:18

by the hearing of faith. Even

3:23

as even as Abraham believed God

3:25

and it was accounted to him for righteousness, know

3:28

you, therefore, that they which are of faith,

3:30

ashamed, or the children of Abraham. The

3:35

scripture foreseeing that God would justify

3:37

the heathen through faith preached before

3:40

the gospel under Abraham saying.

3:42

In thee shall all nations be blessed.

3:46

So then they which are of be

3:48

of faith or blessed with faithful Abraham.

3:52

For as many as are of the works of the law

3:54

under the curse, for it is written, cursed

3:56

as everyone that continues not in all things

3:58

which are written in the book of the law to do them.

4:01

But that no man is justified by the law

4:03

on the side of God, it is evident for the burial

4:05

of the faith. Now here it was, we we saw

4:07

that over there in the book of Hebrew. The

4:10

law is not of faith, but

4:12

the man that does them shall live in them.

4:15

Christ has redeemed us from the curse

4:17

of the law. Being made a curse for

4:19

us, for it is written, cursed as everyone that

4:21

hangs on a tree. That's deuteronomy twenty

4:23

one twenty three. That

4:26

the blessing of Abraham might come

4:28

on the gentiles through Jesus Christ,

4:32

that we might receive the promise

4:34

of the spirit through faith, brethren,

4:36

I speak after the manner of men, though it

4:38

be but a man's covenant, yet

4:41

if it be confirmed, no man disernodes

4:43

it are ads there too. Now

4:45

to Abraham and his seed were

4:47

the promises made, he say of not

4:50

and the seeds as of many but

4:52

as of one to thy seed which

4:54

is Christ. This

4:58

I say that the covenant that was confirmed

5:00

before of god in Christ, the

5:02

law, which was four hundred and thirty years

5:05

after, cannot discern that

5:07

it should make the promise of none effect

5:10

for if their inheritance be of the law

5:12

has no moral promise. But

5:14

God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

5:17

Wherefore then serves the law. It was

5:19

added because of transgressions till

5:22

the seed should come to whom

5:24

the promise was made and it was ordained

5:27

by angels in the hand of a mediator.

5:31

Jesus was the seed to whom it was

5:33

promised. That's

5:35

what started in the seventeenth chapter

5:38

of Genesis. And Jesus

5:40

was the seed of that promise.

5:48

All of that was to get him in here

5:54

and go. From

5:57

Babylon to

6:00

the Kingdom, Hallelujah,

6:03

changed systems. Wherefore

6:13

the law was our school master to bring

6:16

us to Christ that

6:19

we might be justified by

6:21

faith But after that faith

6:24

is come, we are no longer under a

6:26

school master for you are

6:28

all the children of God by

6:30

faith in Jesus Christ. For

6:32

as many as you have been baptized into

6:35

Christ, have put on Christ.

6:37

There is therefore neither June

6:39

or Greek, there is neither bond or free, there's

6:41

neither mail a female for you are

6:43

all one in Christ Jesus.

6:48

And if you be in Christ,

6:50

then are you Abraham seed and

6:52

heirs according to

6:54

them. Oh,

7:05

glory to God. Faith

7:13

is a spiritual force and it's not

7:15

minimal. This powerful,

7:17

powerful thing. And

7:21

it's good. So

7:27

the first principle

7:31

of this law, fundamentally,

7:34

put it in your heart,

7:37

then say it with

7:39

your mouth. Mark

7:42

eleven twenty three, Romans

7:45

ten ten, second

7:47

Corinthians four thirteen, Luke

7:50

six forty three to forty five, Matthew

7:53

twelve thirty five to thirty seven, Mark

7:55

five twenty five to thirty four, Matthew

7:58

twenty one, Hebrews

8:04

ten twenty three, find

8:07

the problems. Now

8:14

let's go back over the chapter of Hebrews.

8:17

I wanna show you something else. And

8:22

Hollywood got this all wrong.

8:31

Verse eleven through faith. Also,

8:33

Sarah herself received strength to conceive

8:36

seed and was delivered of a child

8:38

when she was past age because

8:40

she judged him faithful who

8:42

had Therefore,

8:49

spring their even of

8:52

one, him as good as dead.

8:55

So many is the stars of the sky

8:57

and multitude and as the

8:59

sand which is by the seashore innumerable.

9:02

These all died in faith. Not

9:05

having received the promise and having sent them

9:08

afar off and being persecuted

9:10

them and so forth. And

9:14

verse fifteen, and truly, they had been mindful

9:16

of that country from whence they came out.

9:18

They might have had opportunity to have

9:21

returned. Now

9:23

that reminds me of that dedication of

9:26

this new land in

9:30

what is now Virginia Beach. By

9:33

this little group of men led

9:36

by Chaplin Hunt from

9:38

England. And

9:44

they made the cross out

9:46

of the timbers of that ship. We're

9:50

not going back. We're

9:53

here to stay. All

9:55

of them knew they'd never see their families again.

9:58

But it was worth it. Well,

10:00

I'm very glad that they did. And

10:09

that's the way they were about this. Now

10:11

notice this. By

10:17

faith Abraham when he was tried

10:20

offered up Isaac and

10:22

he that received the promise offered

10:24

up his only begotten son.

10:27

Now we see some powerful

10:30

revelation here. Now

10:36

here is God in covenant. Knowing

10:45

what Abraham did not know. And

10:49

he entered into a blood covenant

10:51

with him. In the

10:53

fifteenth chapter of

10:55

Genesis, it was the blood of animals.

10:58

But if you continue reading in

11:01

the seventeenth, God told

11:03

him you will now circumcyze

11:08

them in as a

11:10

sign of this covenant. So

11:13

now here's the blood

11:15

of a man. In a blood

11:17

covenant, not animals.

11:20

The whole idea was from God and

11:23

it still is in the sacrifice of of

11:25

animals. The whole idea was don't kill

11:27

a man for his sin. I mean, take for me

11:29

an animal. I'm not I'm

11:32

not interested in death here. But

11:37

now as a covenant partner, and

11:40

they're in this together. So

11:47

if his covenant partner

11:50

was willing to offer up his

11:53

only begotten son, then

11:55

that bound God as

11:57

his covenant partner, he could

12:00

not refuse when Jesus

12:02

one day would say if there's any way

12:04

to let this cup pass from me

12:06

and God just said it, you know.

12:09

We have to go through with this. So

12:13

that with Isaac was the type.

12:17

Now in the the movies that I've seen,

12:27

He stopped at the bottom of the mountain,

12:31

and he told the young man that was with him.

12:35

The lad and I are going up younger

12:37

to make the sacrifice and we will return.

12:44

We will return. And

12:46

now you see it here. By

12:50

faith, Abraham, when he was tried to offer

12:52

it up Isaac, and he that received

12:54

the promise offered up his only begotten

12:57

son of whom it was said

12:59

in in Isaac Excel your seed be

13:01

accounting that God was

13:03

able to raise him up even

13:06

from the dead from whence also

13:08

he received him in a

13:10

figure. He saw this

13:12

in the spirit. Yes. He did.

13:15

And he fully intended to see

13:17

him razed up from those

13:19

ashes. And

13:21

he raised the knife. Well,

13:25

that's all God warning. Yeah. And

13:28

the angel. Stepped

13:30

in. Stay

13:32

your head. And

13:35

there was a ram caught

13:37

in a thicket. Oh,

13:43

yes. Don't you love it? There

13:46

he was all the time. The

13:49

sacrifice was there. I've

13:51

often wondered. Whose

13:55

RAM was that? That

14:00

belonged to somebody. I

14:02

had one man say, well, I believe God

14:04

created it for that moment. Well,

14:07

that's a stretch. Because

14:10

the ram was tangled. He

14:13

was already there. Amen.

14:19

Oh, really god. Oh, yeah. So

14:26

god made covenant with a man.

14:29

Based on one thing he would

14:32

teach his children, entered

14:36

into covenant with him, In

14:42

order to make

14:44

a stand, that

14:46

would come in that day

14:48

and time when his

14:51

only begotten for son. Would

14:55

be put on the altar. And

15:01

Jesus accepted it. Nevertheless,

15:08

not my will be done but yours. Well,

15:11

now people have tried to pray that, and

15:14

and tried to tack it on every prayer.

15:17

That doesn't go on every prayer. That's

15:21

a that that is a prayer of total

15:23

digit dedication. Nevertheless,

15:28

your will be done. Yeah. You

15:31

could come to a place where

15:34

you settle it with God. There

15:37

never has been a time since I was called a preach

15:39

that I ever thought of what. I

15:42

don't know. I have another people to have it, but

15:44

you need to settle it once and for all.

15:48

Yeah. Settle it. I don't I don't pray about

15:50

that. About what I'm not I'm

15:52

called a priest. That day in that

15:54

that funny looking mental living room, settled

15:56

that between joy and me. I

15:58

mean, that was done. I'm just a preacher.

16:00

That's that's it. And

16:05

I used to be a pilot

16:07

that preached. Well, God

16:09

changed that. He

16:14

said, when when are you gonna change your

16:16

mind? Well,

16:20

I want to be a pilot ever since I knew what

16:22

an airplane was. But

16:25

I had to make the change. And

16:28

then I became became a preacher that

16:30

flies. I

16:33

like that better. I

16:36

had to learn the fundamentals of

16:39

flying. And

16:43

in World War two, I

16:45

mean, it had a lot of a lot of young men

16:47

that just came in from the country that didn't

16:49

know anything. And you talked about starting

16:52

at fundamentals. Gentlemen,

16:54

this is an airplane. Really?

17:00

That's the way they started. And this is a

17:02

propeller. Well,

17:05

they had to do that to get

17:07

their attention on something that sounded

17:09

so simple because five minutes

17:11

later, they're talking about things you never heard

17:13

of before. This

17:16

is a this this is an airplane.

17:18

This is a propeller. This is the

17:21

leading edge. This is the aileron.

17:23

The anteron. What's

17:27

that? Well, you only

17:29

you only got around the one end of the wing,

17:31

now you're in already into something you

17:33

never heard of before. Unless

17:35

he'd already learned how to fly us.

17:38

And then you're using all kinds of strange

17:40

names. You got an aileron, an

17:43

empanage, Do you know

17:45

an airplane had an elevator? Well,

17:48

yeah, it had to go up and down. It's

17:53

called the horizontals that the elevator

17:56

is tied to the horizontal stabilizer. The

18:00

vertical stabilizer, the rudder

18:02

is tied to that. So

18:06

when you when you pull back on the

18:08

stick and the

18:11

houses get smaller, You

18:14

know it's working. And

18:17

you push down this way and the houses get

18:20

bigger. Now,

18:22

you're catching all. It's

18:26

that simple. And

18:29

I was so eager at the time I

18:31

I knew a lot of that just but reading

18:34

after it and so forth, but I didn't know the

18:36

correct terminology. And sure enough

18:38

the day I soloed. They came up with something

18:40

I'd never heard before in the life. August

18:45

of nineteen sixty one. And

18:50

Meacham field in Fort Worth, which there was

18:52

no DFW, so Mexam was

18:54

the the Fort Worth Municipal

18:57

Airport, and Dallas Love was

18:59

over there in Dallas. But

19:02

a soloed at four o'clock in the afternoon. A

19:06

soloed I trained early in

19:08

the morning because the air was not rough

19:11

and get hot. But

19:13

then, I don't remember why I'm so old in

19:15

that afternoon, so long ago. But

19:18

now all the traffic is there.

19:22

Well, I had just been doing my little

19:24

thing in a little session one fifty,

19:27

5523 echo. And

19:31

so, and normally, I'd

19:33

turn left, I'd take on, and turn them

19:35

down, then 5523 echo,

19:38

touch, and go. And

19:40

so then I'd come around and touch and take

19:43

all of you. And this day, I

19:45

did that. Man,

19:47

I want that guy to my airplane so bad.

19:50

Just get out of here. Just just go

19:52

away. So I did

19:54

nothing. And I took off.

19:57

And turned based and turned down

19:59

when I said, sergeant 5523

20:02

echo, down when, touch, and go.

20:05

Roger that two three echo, you're number

20:07

eight, and the better father of DC three just outside

20:10

the outer marker. What?

20:17

Now, the outer marker is part

20:19

of the instrument landing system.

20:22

I never heard of it. The

20:25

outer marker is when you're coming in there

20:27

and you and you come across that marker

20:30

and that's when you start downhill.

20:34

I never heard of it. Hello.

20:38

They got something painted on a barn

20:40

out here or something out. I

20:43

said, sir, this is my first solo.

20:45

Oh, okay. Can you

20:48

hold your head? Can

20:51

you hold you out too? Yes, sir.

20:54

Well, just to continue straight ahead

20:56

And I'll tell you when to turn based. So

21:00

I'm just motor and long nurse. He

21:02

said two three echo, you see that DC

21:04

three just off your left wing on final.

21:09

Yes, sir. He

21:13

said wait until he passes under your

21:15

wing and then turn base. And

21:17

I thought, well, that's

21:19

cool. Because I couldn't

21:22

hit him now if I just die at him.

21:26

Talk about fundamentals network. But

21:30

you know, that

21:32

little two sheets Sessna

21:35

one fifty flies

21:37

exactly like a seven forty seven.

21:43

Same principle. So

21:48

I had to learn one step at

21:50

a time. I finally learned

21:52

what an outer marker was and

21:54

how to use it. And

21:57

a little bit at a time,

22:00

and finally had an instrument rating

22:02

and and, you know, all the whole thing.

22:06

That's way I started in faith. I

22:09

didn't know anything about it. Now

22:13

watched Earl Roberts and

22:15

I listened to Kenneth Hayden. And

22:19

had the privilege of having them both

22:21

in the same room. Amazing.

22:29

And there came a time that

22:32

there was able to a situation. Everybody

22:36

knows who Marcus Lam and

22:38

Dunn and

22:41

Joanie Lam. Southwest

22:44

believers convention. The

22:46

place is full of people and

22:49

the spirit of the Lord came on me at

22:51

the offering time And he

22:53

said, give this entire offering tonight

22:56

to Marcus and Joanie. So

23:02

I just announced it and

23:04

everybody went, what

23:06

are we gonna do? But

23:11

it started that television

23:13

network. Now

23:21

all of that All

23:23

of that has to do with fundamentals. But

23:27

you have to be obedient. Ready,

23:34

on call. Amen.

23:45

What we saw through the pandemic that

23:48

really, really ministered to me,

23:51

was we made a decision to call each

23:53

and every one of the people that we had in

23:55

our data base. So whether they were a partner

23:57

or a friend, we made a phone call

23:59

to them at the onset of the

24:01

pandemic to just pray a

24:03

blessing over them for protections. We prayed

24:05

so many one over them, couple other things.

24:08

And just really wanted to let them know we're here for

24:10

them. We're standing with them. And

24:12

what really ministered to me through that was

24:15

when we'd call our partners the

24:17

people that were really connected and had

24:19

had been feeding on the word through

24:22

the years, they were not in

24:24

fear. They were they were not concerned

24:26

and and they were speaking words of

24:28

faith and life back into back

24:31

into us and And, yeah,

24:34

it was just it was an encouraging and really minister

24:36

to me to see, wow, because

24:38

of their feeding on the word, They

24:41

they are living in victory. The Lord

24:43

continued to show himself faithful and and

24:45

strong on behalf of KCM Canada.

24:49

We're doing his work. And he's

24:51

able to you know, it's his work,

24:53

so he's going to fulfill the

24:55

resources needed to get it done. And

24:58

not only did we have

25:00

record breaking years, phone

25:02

calls and contributions, but

25:05

we are also able to grow our

25:08

largest growth in in the ministry's

25:11

history in Canada. We started

25:13

out with nineteen staff at beginning

25:16

of the pandemic. And today

25:18

we're at thirty people. And

25:21

and that's only through God when when many other

25:23

ministries across Canada

25:26

were pulling back and shutting down

25:28

and and really not knowing

25:30

if they were going to exist afterwards. We

25:33

experienced our largest growth. Although

25:35

we were continuing to minister, it was also

25:37

a time of planning for the future, and

25:39

it was a time for us to just reassess and

25:41

and realize how

25:43

we wanted to to press forward and

25:45

really take new ground for the kingdom in

25:47

Canada. And we've

25:50

really felt led to start KCBC

25:52

Canada. So a a international,

25:55

the first international satellite location

25:57

KCBC. And also,

25:59

we are converting our bookstore, which

26:02

was down on down on our ground floor of

26:04

our office. Into a social enterprise

26:07

cafe to offer

26:09

employment to men and women coming out of prison.

26:12

So it's really our prison ministry full

26:14

circle. So that when the men and women

26:16

get out, they can come receive mentorship,

26:19

job skills training, discipleship, and

26:22

that we can send them send them out into

26:24

the workforce to be successful.

26:30

God is a rewarder. He

26:34

is a rewarder. It's impossible

26:36

to please him without faith because he

26:38

can't get your intention. You not connecting

came to Brother Copeland for twenty twenty

26:55

three. Put God's word first

26:57

and make it final authority. We

did this by putting God's word in our hearts,

27:02

through our eyes and ears, and speaking

27:04

it by faith with our mouths. And
