faith so for today’s episode I want to
do something special we’re going to go
inside the Southwest Believers
convention are you ready come on let’s
take a look at Southwest Believers
convention
[Applause]
[Music]
Peter and John went through the
beautiful
gate the man looking up expecting to
receive something of them well of course
he did how many times did Jesus go
through there how many times did he say
to Judas put something in this man’s
hand put it in his hand put it in his
hand put it in his hand of course he
said here’s my
boys of course they’re going to put
something in my hand looked up expecting
to receive from them Hallelujah he
expected to receive from them they’d
been there again and again and again and
again Jesus walked right by there and
didn’t do a
thing it wasn’t a
plan the assignment
was for his
name he said in that day you’ll ask me
nothing but whatsoever you ask the
father in my name he will give it you
whatever you demand in my name I will do
it he said in the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth rise up and walk there
talking about oh I’m so glad you made it
have a seat this is so good you know
we’ve been condu the Southwest Believers
convention for over 40 years right here
in downtown Fort Worth can you imagine
that over 40 years but the seed of this
7-Day meeting started way back in
1967 the Lord spoke to brother copen and
he said this son if you’ll totally
immerse yourself in the word and give
yourself to it over the period of a week
it will change your entire future and
that was the birth of the first
Believers convention
right there in his garage brother
copelen was alone with a tape of brother
Hagen his Bible and a notebook and
that’s what we Endeavor to do for you to
create an atmosphere where you can
totally immerse yourself in the word
this meeting and meetings like it should
be the first thing you put on your
calendar for the year why because it’s
vitally important that you give God’s
word priority and final Authority
because as you know God’s word will
change the direction of your life and
it’ll bring your faith up to the next
level and it’s during these seven days
that you’ll hear and see things from God
that will build your vision you can
write it you can write it in your
journal and you can make it plain that’s
why the Southwest Believers convention
is so important and why I’ll never miss
it okay listen this is really good I
think we better turn our attention back
to the word of God let’s go and get
totally
immersed out loud God God is my source
is my source not any man not any man not
any woman not anyone not any company not
any company not any institution not any
institution not the government not
govern God God is my only source is my
only source now what I mean by that is
uh the Lord corrected my words a number
of years ago not to use the word
Source about anybody or anything except
him that’s right cuz you hear sometimes
people say I that came in through an
unexpected
Source wrong word channel
channel it came through an unexpected
Channel and God has millions of
channels but there’s only
onece
source Galatians 5: 6
Paul writing by the spirit of God said
for in Christ Jesus neither uncircum or
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision
avails or you could say results
in
anything doesn’t produce anything but
now say this last part with me Faith
working through love say it again Faith
working how through love one more time
Faith working
through love your faith will work when
you find out how much you’re
loved where there is no revelation of
Love there can be no operation of Faith
yes where there is no revelation of how
Loved You Are by God there can be no
revelation of
faith and that’s why I mentioned to you
a couple of days ago that for all the
ministry that this this ministry Kenneth
copelan Ministries has has offered and
given in over five Decades of ministry
and so much centered on faith if you
really look closely every Faith Message
is rooted in
love there is something about it when
people who know how to use their faith
come together to
pray the Holy Spirit in empowers us we
can be strong in prayer we can be
effective in
prayer hey everybody it’s Pastor Holden
Hanley here and I’m actually standing in
one of the booths that Southwest
Believers convention and we want to
invite you to come be a part of the 2024
Southwest Believers convention listen we
know that your faith is going to grow
your faith is going to be challenged
you’re going to learn more about the
word and the author who wrote the word
heavenly father than you ever have
before and most importantly I want you
to come to pre-service prayer with
Pastor Terry copelan Pearson better
known as prayer everywhere listen the
Lord spoke to Pastor Terry in 2009 and
said this there’s something about it
when people who know how to use their
faith come together to pray notice what
she said not just people of Faith but
people who know how to use their faith
come together to pray and we know that
you are somebody who knows how to use
your faith so we want you to come be a
part of these prayer times and bring
your faith and add your supply did you
know you had a supply to bring
Philippians 1 says you do so bring your
supply to this corporate atmosphere of
prayer and watch what God does but
listen you do not have to wait till the
convention to start praying I love what
sister Lin Hammon says she says if you
wait till the event to start praying
you’re too late so we want you to come
be a part and not just bring your supply
and add your faith to the event but go
ahead and let your faith go out ahead
and make the way for an awesome
convention and in the name of Jesus Lord
we are here to obtain by the grace of
God utterance for this meeting utterance
for brother copelan first of all as the
lead prophet in this conference and Lord
as a leading prophet in all the land we
pray for him and pray for that Divine
flow of utterance utterance of
recognition of the will of God an
utterance of Revelation the spirit of
Revelation the the empowerment of
Revelation to flow from his lips as
never before in 56 years we thank you
Father for that flow that boldness that
courage to speak forth things Lord that
give us insight into the Mysteries and
the secrets of your very being of your
very will Lord that the very hunger of
the Saints to be hungry for Jesus hungry
for the word hungry for the move of the
spirit hungry for that Lord hungry for
the preaching of the
Gospel hungry Lord so that the Saints
would be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might so that the strength
Saints would be strengthened and
emboldened so that the Saints Lord would
begin to take on the mantle of the bride
of Christ that the Saints would take on
the mantle of the body of the anointed
one so that the Saints would move into
to their place a position of Holiness
righteousness and power and preparation
for the coming of the Lord for the
demonstration of Revelation to know your
will to speak your will to walk in your
will longer not just for ourselves but
for the masses of people for the church
for all the the Lost Lord for the souls
the the the billions of souls that need
to know
[Music]
Jesus I could even tell before the
meeting started when we came in during
setup on Saturday and I walked into the
auditorium I felt like I walked into the
anointing and the power of
God was there and then starting with
flasho on Sunday night and then on into
Monday here we are Tuesday heading into
Tuesday night this anointing is just
getting stronger and stronger and Keith
Moore came to preach this afternoon and
never took the pulpit it was a song
about Freedom all the way through so we
are always expecting the supernatural
we’re always expecting the the power of
God to show up and wow has he ever shown
up my
goodness look at King Hezekiah how he
came to the Lord he said now you go to
prophet and tell the prophet to give me
a word as to what I should do about the
king of Assyria coming against me like
this he’s overwhelmed me I’ve given him
the the gold off the door knobs of the
temple I’ve done everything and he’s
still coming after me to enslave Israel
tell the prophet I’m in trouble what
shall he do the prophet sent a word he
took that word they gave him the word
Hezekiah he went up into the temple of
God he opened that that word that the
prophet gave him he began to pray the
word he didn’t pray his feelings he
began to pray the word he didn’t pray
some religious prayer he just prayed the
word down in verse 20 of second Kings
chapter 19 here’s what he said someone
came to the Hezekiah said the words that
you have prayed God has heard and that’s
all you want because in 1 John 5 and
verse1 14 this is a confidence that we
have in him that if we ask anything
according to his word he hears us and if
he hears us we know we have the petition
that we desire of him glory to
God he prayed that worded in pray any
emotions and fear Lord prop me up on the
eat on the weak side he didn’t pray all
of that please don’t pass Us by no no he
prayed that word and whatever God said
his word will not return to you voice it
will
accomplish it really blesses me beyond
measure the people that we get to meet
who are associated with us at Kenneth
culin Ministries and who Minister on the
victory Channel and I have somebody very
special very special with us today and
listen to this this is this is pretty
amazing she’s been in Ministry for a
number of years pastored World Harvest
Church Marietta California still
oversees the church travels Nationwide
and abroad president of dufrain
Ministries president instructor of World
Harvest Bible Training Center president
of fresh oil fellowship and she airs the
broadcast Jesus the Healer on the
victory Channel what more can you say
about Nancy dufrain oh my goodness she’s
here with us on inside the vision Pastor
I’m so thrilled thankful to have you
here with us and we of course are here
at the Southwest Believers convention ah
it’s a big week what a week it is and
and tell me why do you come here I mean
you’ve been coming for a number of years
and but why do you come to the Believers
convention Pastor um for me being a part
of Kenneth copelan Ministries being here
in these meetings it’s not just about
what I get first and foremost it’s about
what can I bring oh that’s good because
when God directed me toward brother
Copeland as a divine Supply in my life
that means they’re not disposable I
cannot choose to dismiss that Supply
that’s why I come to these meetings
because I not only receive a supply I
want to bring a supply and um I want to
help fulfill what’s in his heart of the
word of the word of faith message from
the top of the world to the bottom and
all the way around the middle and I’m
not going to Veer from that that’s my a
part for me to bring and so um it
matters to me that what’s in heart gets
fulfilled I was the one on the road that
was making the tapes that we would sell
and I’d hear a message that brother
copen would preach I’d make an extra
tape for myself I’d keep it I’d take it
home I’d listen to it I’d study it I’d
outline it and that’s where this
principle of total immersion came in to
where being immersed in the word of God
really has helped me to get to where I
am right now I never aspired to be the
CEO I never aspired actually to do
anything else except serve wherever I
could serve whatever I could do however
I could help that’s what I wanted to do
and so I totally immersed myself in
Kenneth copen Ministries and the message
of faith and I haven’t changed I am
still immersed in that
[Music]
word I was living in Massachusetts at
the time I’m about
20 22 years old somewhere in there and
and I’m really involved in this
church and the pastor is telling me he
says I want to make you my associate
that’s big for a 22y old that’s
big for the pastor wanting you to be the
associate but at the same time I’m
thinking about o you and I’m going back
and forth about it and I’m asking people
about it should I go should I stay and I
got as many answers as as many people as
I was talking
to and finally one day I asked I asked
somebody I said do you think I should
stay or should I go to Oru and they
looked at me and said what do you want
to do what do you want to
do and so I took some time just to get
alone and pray about it I separated
myself to hear from the Lord what do I
do do I stay in Massachusetts or do I go
to Oral Roberts University and back then
I I was not as developed in being in
being led by the Holy Spirit as I am now
but the Lord will help you at whatever
stage you’re
at you don’t have to be completely
developed in all of the details of how
to be led by the spirit all you have to
be is yield yourself to him and just say
Lord what do you want to
do what we think our prayer life should
be is not necessarily what it has to be
we need to spend time communing with the
father and the best way to do that is
through the Holy Spirit you already win
this fight of faith that is why Paul
writes to Timothy and says fight the
good fight of Faith why is it a good
fight because you win as he is so are we
in this earth Jesus’s overcoming nature
is your exact same overcoming nature
right now he says you got to confess it
with your mouth and believe it in your
heart I’m here to tell you something
young people you will never get anything
from God that you don’t first believe in
your heart and confess with your mouth
you got to say it you got to believe it
that’s how you get it and that settles
it none of this is planned it’s not
trying to move you emotionally this is
all all about are you willing to
surrender are you willing to let go and
let God so you have to move from your
brain down to your heart in your spirit
and open up your heart to God and say
Lord more than anything in my life I
want to know you I want to know what
your destiny is for me I want to be
filled with the spirit of God he knows
the desires of your heart he knows
what’s on the inside he knows your gifts
he knows your talents he knows what you
want to do and he’s going to take on
this journey and he’s going to get that
fulfilled because he is your
[Music]

[Music]
you want to live a life of watch this
the world is standing on temp to waiting
to see God and when they see you living
as children of God they see him Paul is
talking he says your lives are a letter
that people are reading or if it were
written in our time he would probably
say your lives are like a video that
people are watching I don’t think we can
find our script until two things happen
we have to meet Jesus who is the most
important character in God’s movie the
second thing is he wants us to invite
him to help us find our script well I
like being a super kid because it’s like
a pretty fun time it’s like super kids
is different from all other churs they
go to we just do fun stuff they do
praise and worships and they get out
give our words but the my favorite part
is the
games
brother Copeland this is Christine from
Virginia Beach Virginia and all week uh
when when she came in she had a brace
and she had a walker and uh just last
night she had some emic people pray for
her and now she no longer has the Walker
she doesn’t need it anymore the brace is
gone and she’s feeling much better where
where’s the brace at I left it in the
room so you came here believing I did no

couldn’t go up the steps I couldn’t come
down the steps to come down the steps I
had to I had to hold on to something and
just back down I couldn’t I couldn’t

is he was in me than he was in the world
if God be for me I’m starting to yell at
if God be for me who can be against me I
say to that mountain get out of my way I
will not climb you I will dissolve you
but what should be happening as these
these messages preached not just about
faith but in the spirit of Faith as
they’re hitting our hearts yes we get
excited but we should also be doing what
examining finding out okay am I in faith
or I just Gotten Good at what faith
looks
like if you don’t know where else to
start start with this I’m saved that’s
light you know how the Holy Spirit works
next thing you know he takes your mind
over here come on next thing you know
you’re going oh that’s it but you didn’t
get there talking about what you don’t
know and when you come here it’s not the
same when you watch online it’s not the
same when you’re on YouTube
wherever you are when you’re here in
person the impactation you get by being
in the presence of all the fellow
Believers like
you I don’t care what you going through
keep your joy don’t fear just keep your
joy you might be going through the worst
thing in your life in your family and
your finances keep your joy because if
Satan can’t steal your
joy he can’t keep your goods come on
amen there has to be a delivery of the
word under the prophet’s anointing and
it changes things it changes people it
changes atmospheres it changes
circumstances what does Isaiah say it
brings mountains down it brings Hells
down it brings The Valleys up and it
makes crooked or deceitful places
straight some kind of standby power now
that’s the Holy Ghost in people that
know what they’re doing they know the
word of God and they call on him and his
standby is more powerful than anything
that devil has any kind of prayer he has
anything he can do any way he can do it
it just blows him over to the side of
the
[Music]
