I'm not moved by what
0:05
I see. I
0:08
don't live by what
0:10
I see because
0:13
my God has
0:16
made a way for
0:19
me. Hello
0:23
everybody. I'm Kenneth Copeland. This is the
0:25
Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast. Thank you
0:27
for joining us today and
0:29
once again today we're here with Andre
0:32
and Jenny and the whole
0:34
class and we're talking about faith of
0:36
course and the faith
0:39
dome which is just absolutely magnificent
0:41
because I was there when it
0:43
wasn't and I went back
0:45
when it was. So
0:48
I got the
0:50
way before then
0:52
after and
0:54
it's amazing. But
0:57
now we were talking yesterday, May had
1:07
come, school was out and
1:11
my landlord that
1:13
owned that little house that
1:17
we had rented that the university had, or
1:20
you had rented some of them before and
1:24
he owned several of them and he was
1:26
a Mormon lawyer. I
1:29
went to see him to
1:31
get some things about the house and
1:34
he said, now Kenneth, you just think that
1:37
us Mormons don't know Jesus. He
1:39
looked me in the eye. He said, I want to
1:41
tell you something brother, Jesus Christ
1:44
of Nazareth is my Lord and savior.
1:46
Now what else do you want? So
1:48
I had him draw up the papers.
1:50
Kenneth Copeland Evangelistic Association in the state
1:52
of Oklahoma had it all ready to
1:54
file. So
1:56
here I am the next morning. Well,
1:59
school is out. that happened back up during the year.
2:05
And the Lord said, I'm ready for you now.
2:09
Okay. I want you to go
2:11
back to Fort Worth. Ready
2:13
as part of your destiny there. I don't
2:16
want to do that. And,
2:19
uh, because it's my hometown. I
2:22
was sitting there murmuring about
2:24
it. I
2:27
really did want, I
2:29
wanted to continue to fly for him. And because
2:33
I was so close to him and, and
2:35
we had developed such a, such
2:38
close closeness together. Anyway, phone
2:44
rang and
2:46
Gloria was sitting there at the little
2:48
table. She
2:50
found the base to
2:52
it in a junkyard and
2:55
she found the top to it in an
2:57
old store and she
2:59
put the two of them together and antique
3:01
them. Gives
3:05
you some idea of the
3:07
wealth she married into. Phone
3:09
rang. Gloria said, it's brother
3:11
Nichols. Well, he's
3:16
pastor of the Grace Temple Church here in Fort
3:19
Worth. And
3:22
when my mother and dad got to left full of
3:24
fellowship from among a Baptist, well,
3:26
they moved up. That's brother Hagin's term, you know, what
3:28
had happened to them too. So
3:31
that was their home church.
3:33
In fact, he, he had baptized Gloria
3:36
and me and John and Kelly. Wow.
3:38
Wow. Wow. And so that was our
3:40
home church. When can you come
3:42
and preach me a meeting? And
3:45
I said, well, brother Nichols, I'd like to say that
3:47
I need to check my schedule, but I don't have
3:49
one. When do you need me? He said, could
3:53
you come this next weekend? That's
3:56
yes, sir. Well,
4:00
And so we went. We
4:06
got to the very end of the first week and that weekend
4:08
he said, we need to go on with this because I was
4:10
just teaching Mark 11, 23, four and five. And
4:14
the saying part. Thank you, come on. And
4:20
Lou walked around with her
4:22
Bible in one of the morning service. She
4:24
said, I thought I knew something about this
4:26
book. And she had tears coming. Wow. We
4:31
got to the end of the day. He said, let's go another week. I
4:34
said, okay. We
4:37
went another week. Let's go another week. Okay.
4:41
Went three weeks. We
4:44
got out from, in
4:48
the car, sitting there in front
4:50
of the church. Where are you going from now? I said, I have
4:52
no idea. Kelton
4:56
Sutton called me. I
4:59
said, when can you come
5:01
and preach me a meeting? I said, when he went. Next
5:04
weekend. That one went three weeks. Now
5:08
his dad, dad Sutton lived in Beaumont. And
5:12
he was there at the end of that because Hilton had called
5:14
him and said, you better come hear this young man. So
5:17
he came. He said, when
5:20
can you come to me? So
5:22
I went three weeks there. And then we started,
5:24
he said, I want you every month. Praise
5:28
God. And then from
5:30
that, and
5:33
then we began to have some meetings in
5:35
other churches. Then
5:38
the full gospel businessmen began to invite me.
5:40
And then the Lord said, you
5:42
receive every invitation they give you unless
5:45
I tell you differently. And
5:49
so it began to grow and build. See, he had a plan all
5:51
the time. Right. Right. Well,
5:55
it was in that meeting. At
6:00
Grace Temple Church, I
6:05
was preaching from the book of Romans.
6:09
They're at my mother and dad's house. Back
6:14
in what used to be my bedroom. I
6:18
came across, I was reading the 13th chapter of Romans, I
6:20
was going to preach on the government. You got
6:22
out of the eighth verse, oh no man, anything but
6:25
the loving. I got
6:27
the amplified and said, stay out of debt. So
6:31
I hollered Gloria and I came in there and
6:33
she said, if that's what the book says, that's
6:35
what we're going to do. So
6:37
it changed our entire destiny. Right there
6:40
at that moment. I
6:46
would have missed that entirely if
6:49
I had ignored and stayed in
6:51
Tulsa. I
6:53
would have made a larger mistake as I have
6:55
been when I didn't want to go in the
6:57
first place. That's right. Obedience.
7:01
Yeah. And it
7:03
was just those little devils at
7:05
a time like this and it
7:09
began to grow
7:12
and develop. Right. And now here we
7:14
are. So now let's
7:16
go over here to book, let's
7:19
see what Jesus said here. I
7:21
want to point out something to you. Now
7:24
each one of us have talked about the
7:26
plans that he gave us. And then once
7:32
we knew that plan, then
7:35
you pray and you seek the Lord until you
7:37
get direction and make sure
7:39
you know it is the right thing
7:43
to do. And there's so
7:45
many times I'd start in one direction and
7:47
Gloria's saying, I think we better wait and
7:49
pray about this. Well, okay. And sure enough,
7:52
and then I think we
7:58
can't borrow the money. No.
8:03
Oh, the Lord stopped
8:05
my impulsiveness right then. Greatest
8:09
thing ever. Anyway, let's look
8:11
at this in
8:15
that 22nd verse, Mark 11 and 22.
8:19
Now wait a minute. Go
8:21
down to 14th verse. No
8:23
man eat fruit of thee
8:25
hereafter and forever. Nine
8:30
words. And
8:34
in the morning as they passed by, they
8:36
saw the fig tree dried up from the
8:38
roots. If we are not at the root,
8:42
what did God say and does it
8:44
match this book? These
8:47
blood covenants. I
8:49
have to find it here because
8:52
the way this book is written, it
8:55
had to be spoken here for it
8:57
to happen here. Jesus
9:00
would say, have you not read of me? Jesus
9:05
went into Peter's house. So his wife mother laid
9:07
sick of the fever. He touched her hand, the
9:09
fever left her. When she got
9:11
up and ministered to them, when evening was
9:14
come, they, well, who's they? Whomever
9:20
the spirit of God
9:22
called, because here's why. When
9:25
evening was come, they brought many
9:28
who were possessed with devils. He
9:30
cast out the spirits with his word, healed
9:34
all that were sick, that it might
9:36
be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah
9:38
the prophet. You have to go back
9:41
to the book of Genesis to find
9:43
that out because
9:46
God spoke this whole thing
9:48
into existence and gave all
9:50
the authority to his
9:53
man. All
9:56
of it. So the word had
9:58
to come from heaven. through
10:00
a man and establish it on
10:03
the earth so
10:05
that at the exact moment in Bethlehem,
10:07
which was spoken by Micah, the prophet,
10:10
715 years later, it came to pass.
10:14
Come on. Come on. Have
10:25
faith in God for verily I say unto you
10:27
whosoever, shall say unto
10:29
this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast
10:31
into the sea and shall not doubt in
10:34
his heart, but believe that those
10:36
things which he says shall come to pass,
10:38
he shall have whatsoever sayeth. Therefore I say
10:40
unto you, so he put this into motion
10:42
right then. What things
10:44
soever you desire, when you pray, believe
10:46
that you receive them and you shall
10:49
have them. And when you stand praying,
10:51
forgive if you have ought against any
10:53
that your father also in heaven may
10:55
forgive you your trespasses. He
10:58
said it, he spoke to it. Verse
11:03
27, they came again
11:05
to Jerusalem. He
11:08
said, I only say what I
11:10
hear my father say. That's what I wanted to get
11:13
to. I only hear what I
11:15
hear my father say and I only do
11:17
what I see my father do. He spoke
11:19
to that thing and turned his back on
11:21
it and walked off. He
11:24
didn't care if that tree could be standing there now
11:26
with leaves on it and no man would ever eat
11:28
fruit of it again. But
11:31
as it was, his words went right to
11:33
the roots of the thing and they came
11:35
back and saw that thing standing there dead.
11:41
Dead. Because
11:45
the invisible,
11:52
most powerful force known
11:56
to the human kind. the
12:00
faith of God. It's
12:03
the creative force. And
12:06
in this case, it came out of the
12:08
mouth and the heart of God himself, and
12:11
it just killed that tree. But
12:16
what did he do? There's an end of
12:18
it for him. That's right. He
12:23
didn't check the tree out. Peter
12:26
did, but he didn't. No. Peter
12:30
said, have faith in God, the faith of
12:32
God. Right. It's
12:35
God's faith. Right. And
12:37
that's what I want to point out. Yeah, yeah. Once
12:40
you know the plan. Yeah. And
12:42
you have God's word on it. And
12:46
it is settled. It
12:48
was settled between you and Jenny. And
12:52
now you're in agreement pair.
12:55
Come on. Amen. You are in
12:57
agreement and
12:59
the seed was in the ground. Come on.
13:04
And the day, the
13:06
way I see it in my mind. Yeah.
13:09
As far as I was concerned when
13:11
I left there, that
13:14
citation 10 was as good
13:16
as paid for. Come on, come on.
13:20
That's right. Because I had a
13:22
piece of this thing in East
13:24
London, South Africa. Come on. Come on.
13:26
Wow. That's right. And
13:29
it wasn't very long after that until, I
13:34
really didn't check
13:37
on how much money had come in. Because
13:40
I heard the Lord say it. I
13:44
want you to believe me for assessing the citation 10.
13:47
If I tell you to go to Tokyo in the morning, I
13:49
don't want you to have to ask somebody if you can go.
13:52
He'd already said to me, there's
13:55
coming a time when the airlines will not
13:57
be fit to travel. Well,
14:00
that time it has come. And
14:02
I'm not talking for the general public. It's bad
14:04
enough on general public. But
14:07
doing what I do and do it on the
14:09
airlines, I can't. I
14:12
couldn't do 10% of what I do. I'd
14:15
have to go where they go. I need to
14:17
go where he tells me to go, not where they tell me
14:19
to go. Anyway, that's cool. But
14:22
the point of it is, once
14:25
you have the plan, once
14:27
it's settled, you
14:29
believe it in your heart and you
14:32
say it with your mouth and
14:36
you know it's God's plan. Turn
14:39
your back on that, how are we gonna do
14:41
it? Right. He
14:43
has a plan. That's right. I thought that's what we
14:45
said in the first part. Yeah. Yeah.
14:47
Yeah. Here's the thing,
14:49
Brother Kenneth, and I love what you're saying,
14:51
is his plan comes but
14:55
it's amazing how our minds always
14:57
try to create our own plan. Mm-hmm. It's amazing how
14:59
this conflict comes in who we are to
15:02
wanna do it our way. That's right. Instead of wanting
15:04
to do it God's way. Now, I'll never forget what
15:07
the dome. God spoke the plan to us and
15:10
God said to us, the money is in
15:12
the floor. Jenny
15:15
and I, we jump on an airplane, we
15:18
come to America to raise the money. We
15:21
come to America to raise the money.
15:25
It wasn't God's plan. Mm-hmm. It
15:29
wasn't God's plan for us to find
15:31
the money. The money was already found
15:34
by God and
15:36
I'd heard the word from God but
15:38
the natural mind, I was
15:41
still trying to overcome this thing. Where I'm
15:43
walking in faith but my natural mind
15:45
says, well, you gotta do something. You're
15:47
all right for four and a half
15:49
million dollars. Four and
15:52
a half million rand. Correct. And so,
15:55
here we are. We're visiting everyone
15:57
in America. We've used our
15:59
lost. resource to get you
16:01
to do this, to raise the money. And
16:04
we were friends of ours in
16:06
Los Angeles and
16:08
we're in their house, we visited about 10,
16:11
15 different places, ministries and
16:13
different organizations hoping to
16:15
get help because
16:17
the natural man's kicking in to try
16:20
and make the plan fulfilled. Well,
16:22
when did you hear that about the money on the floor?
16:25
When God spoke to us under
16:27
that anointing in the dome, I
16:30
was standing in the building and
16:33
God said, the money is in
16:35
the floor. I said, Lord, how are you
16:37
going to pay for it? Now I want to get to that
16:39
part in a moment. But here we are and
16:41
the Lord said to us, what are you
16:43
doing in America? I told you
16:46
the money's in the floor. That
16:48
was the rebuke. We
16:51
packed up our bag and we went
16:53
home poorer than what we arrived. Yes,
16:55
you did. Okay. Because
16:57
when you try to do something
16:59
in the flesh, you
17:01
can't do the will of God with the
17:03
flesh. You've got to do the will of
17:05
God in the spirit. It starts in the
17:07
spirit. It starts in the spirit and it
17:09
stays in the spirit. We always
17:11
try and do it in the flesh. We
17:14
get back home and the Lord said, I told you the money's
17:16
in the floor. Now we had to raise the money to be
17:19
able to do this. I said, Lord, what are you talking
17:21
about? Now the money in the floor is twofold. And
17:23
I want to get to the second part in a
17:25
moment because the first part kicked in as soon as
17:27
we touched ground again. He said,
17:29
I've given you 600,000 square
17:32
feet. You're about to take transfer.
17:35
Now remember, we didn't own it yet. It was just
17:37
the deal was done, but we had to wait for
17:40
it to take transfer. He
17:42
said, I've given you 600,000 square
17:45
feet, lease it
17:47
out and it
17:49
will pay itself. All
17:52
right. So meaning
17:54
the money was in the square
17:56
footage of the value of
17:58
the floor. Are you with me? That
18:00
was the first fault because I'm getting to the second fault. And we
18:02
had a bunch of keys. And
18:04
on the day of occupation, they
18:06
gave us keys for rooms
18:08
and places we didn't know existed.
18:11
There were people in it that were tenants in the
18:13
building. We didn't even have to say that. We didn't
18:15
know about it. I started
18:18
collecting rentals from
18:20
people that I never knew existed,
18:22
but there was enough money in
18:25
the building that I could pay
18:27
the first payment and the deposit.
18:29
And I could start paying the
18:32
people that had given us two years to
18:34
give them the money because we never had the money. And
18:36
that's another whole story of how we
18:38
had to raise the money by who
18:41
they put in the building in the form
18:43
of tenants to be able to pay them
18:46
back. We used their own money
18:48
to buy their own building from them. And to
18:50
this day, they don't know it. That's
18:54
how God did it. Unless they watch the broadcast.
18:57
Unless they watch the broadcast. But that's how
18:59
God did it. He said, I'm giving you
19:01
a building and I'm giving you tenants and
19:03
I'm telling you the money's in the floor.
19:05
You don't need it from anywhere else. Little
19:08
did I know the money's in the floor is twofold. Because
19:12
the second part of it was the
19:15
rare timber that was
19:17
in that floor was so valuable that
19:20
we took just one portion of that
19:22
floor out when we moved in to
19:24
start building the dome, we
19:26
sold the piece of floor.
19:28
One piece. The rest we still
19:30
have to sell. We still have the floors
19:33
in there to still sell. We
19:35
sold that one piece of floor. It
19:37
was more money than what
19:40
we paid for the entire
19:42
purchase of the building. And
19:44
God said, I told you the
19:46
money is in the floor. Rentals
19:51
and value of timber. Twofold. That's
19:53
what I'm wanting to do in
19:55
your life. That's obedience. And of
19:57
course we're going to be overlaying some of this. because
20:00
we have pictures of all of
20:02
that in a flatbed truck full of it.
20:04
Right. And so I
20:06
said to him, how much did it bring? He said,
20:09
more than enough. More than enough. Amen.
20:12
Come on. Come on. Oh,
20:14
I love it. That's
20:19
obedience. Yes, it is. That's
20:21
taking the will of God, hearing
20:24
the word of faith and applying
20:26
nothing to separate your faith.
20:29
Do not allow fear to come in. Do
20:32
not allow anything to distract
20:34
you in any way. From
20:37
the faith that God has placed in your heart
20:39
for what you believing and it will
20:41
be. I saw
20:43
it years ago and sometimes I do it in a
20:45
meeting where
20:48
you just make this line
20:50
of faith. Yeah. You
20:54
step across it and
20:58
I call things that be not as
21:01
though they were. So
21:03
word gets way behind me. It's
21:07
already done. When
21:10
God appeared to Abram and changed his name to
21:16
Abraham, the H he put into the middle of it.
21:19
And I said, it's the H and Yed
21:21
Heh, Vav Heh. And
21:26
said, nations will come from here. Amen.
21:32
Now you take where
21:34
we live. The
21:43
declaration of independence was
21:50
made and signed and
21:54
started a war which
22:00
General Washington won
22:02
supernaturally. There
22:04
was a British sharpshooter said,
22:08
I'm not always shooting him anymore. Don't
22:10
even ask me to. He said,
22:12
I shot at him several times. I
22:14
think it's five times, point blank. He
22:19
said, that's a man of God. I'm not doing that
22:21
anymore. And he got in
22:23
and there were bullet holes in his
22:25
coat. He opened his Bible at the
22:27
17th chapter of
22:31
the book of Genesis. The first
22:33
president of the United States opened
22:36
his Bible at that and
22:38
said, this nation, this
22:42
nation. And
22:46
he prayed, got down on
22:48
his knee and kissed his Bible and
22:51
lifted up his arm and said, you'll
22:53
be our God. We'll be your God.
22:59
Those covenants are super important.
23:03
And when you make an agreement with God and
23:07
he agrees with you, that's
23:10
it. You
23:13
do the believing and the saying, he's
23:15
already done the saying. Come on, come
23:17
on. But our part, we
23:19
have to say what he said. Amen. The
23:22
future's in his hands then. And
23:24
we're out of time again. Aren't
23:28
these five minute broadcast? We'll be
23:30
back in just a moment.
23:33
There are those who seem to have discovered the key to
23:35
financial freedom. The
23:38
prepended prosperity remains elusive to you. It's time to look again
23:40
at what God says about giving and
23:42
God's love. The Lord has given us the
23:45
power to give us the power to
23:47
give us the power to give us the
23:49
power and to provide
23:51
the understanding. And NASA told me what God
23:53
says about giving and receiving the gift of
23:55
giving by Andrei Rolla right is a transformative
23:58
journey to the heart of biblical generosity. some
24:00
scripture about giving and this fun
24:02
misconception surrounding principles of sowing and
24:04
wiping. Your giving isn't just about
24:06
what you offer, but the motive behind it.
24:08
Man had a release bold faith in
24:11
receiving God's wealth for you through genuine
24:13
selfless giving. See, Banks and Mists, that
24:15
only anonymous or secret giving is wealth
24:17
by God. Understand that giving with
24:19
a pure heart is the true path
24:22
to abundance. As you embrace the proofs
24:24
within this book, let the Holy Spirit
24:26
work in your heart and witness a
24:28
life overflowing with God's goodness and bountiful
24:30
prosperity. You'll become a living testament to
24:33
God's generosity, inspiring others and drawing them
24:35
to a generous God who delights in
24:37
blessing His people. Don't miss this amazing
24:39
journey. Walk
24:43
in the financial freedom God has for you.

25:12
I'm Larry Warren. Faith follows the plan of
25:14
God. In Jeremiah 29 11, God tells us,
25:18
For I know the plans I have
25:20
for you, says the Lord, they are
25:22
plans for good and not for disaster,
25:24
to give you a future and a
25:26
hope. The message translation says,
25:28
I have it all planned
25:30
out, plans to take care of you,
25:32
not abandon you, plans to give you
25:35
the future you hope for. That
25:37
is good news. God created
25:40
you and His plan is a life
25:42
plan. It's a healing plan.
25:44
It's a blessing plan. Jesus
25:46
said, I am the way
25:48
and the truth in the life. No one
25:50
comes to the father except for me. So
25:54
take a step into God's plan. It's
25:56
as simple as receiving Jesus into your
25:58
heart and making him Lord of
26:00
your life. Praise this prayer with me.
26:03
Lord, I confess my sins before you.
26:08
I turn my life over completely. Take
26:12
over and be the Lord of my life. I
26:16
receive you as my savior. I
26:20
receive your Holy Spirit. I
26:23
receive my new language. Thank
26:26
you that I'm born again. Amen. Praise
26:31
God, your spirit is born again
26:34
and your future is bright. We
26:36
find out in Ephesians 2.10 that
26:39
we are God's workmanship created in
26:41
Christ Jesus unto good works, which
26:43
God himself has before ordained that
26:45
we should walk in them. As
26:48
a born again child of God, you can
26:50
tap into the goodness and abundance of his
26:52
plan for you. Learn God's
26:55
voice from his word and pray,
26:57
listen, and obey by faith. To
26:59
learn more about this exciting journey of
27:02
faith that you've begun today, Kenneth
27:04
and Gloria Copeland have some free
27:06
resources to give you called The
27:08
Salvation Package. It includes a
27:10
book, He Did It All for
27:12
You, and some information to help
27:15
you start reading and studying your
27:17
Bible. To request your free copy
27:19
of The Salvation Package, go to
27:21
kcm.org. Now
27:26
when the master said have faith in God, that's
27:29
a command. But he
27:31
also said when you stand praying, forgive, that's
27:33
also a command. And
27:35
that's huge. He
27:39
has given us his faith
27:41
with which to forgive. And
27:44
that's very important. And so we'll
27:46
be back tomorrow. And until then,
27:48
this is Kenneth Copeland, Andre and
27:51
Jenny, and the whole class reminding
27:53
you again that God loves
27:56
you. And
27:58
we love you. And
28:01
without this, nothing works. Jesus
28:04
is Lord. Hallelujah.
