amen glory
today
the
as i stated to you last night the
thing that the lord has
instructed
that the purpose of these meetings
is to look
into and
be determined to do
the works of jesus
doing the works of jesus
amen
now
in uh
looking at this
today
we’re going to be talking about
increase
and of course when you when you think
about
increase the the first thing you think
about of course is in any in the uh
economics and
and finances and so forth
there’s a whole lot more to it than that
but that is a vital part of it
well you know
christian people ought to not care
anything about money well when when the
devil talks you into caring nothing
about money he’ll make you so broke you
can’t pay attention
amen he’ll steal it from you that’s all
the power he’s got is what he can get
from you
jesus stripped him
he has nothing
talk about this a minute
um
you remember when satan tempted jesus
and the scripture said he was
sorely tempted but deeply deeply tempted
now i want you to listen to what satan
said to him
he said
the scripture said he showed him the
kingdoms
of this world
and he said bow down before me
and i will give them to you
they
are mine they have been given unto me
and i give them to whomsoever i will
now
if that had not been the truth
it would not have been a temptation
because jesus i mean satan is a liar
yeah we know that
but had he not had that authority to do
that jesus would have certainly known it
it wouldn’t be any temptation too i mean
that’s like me coming up to you
and offering you the entire state of
texas you just laugh and turn around and
walk off because you know i ain’t got
the authority to do that i don’t own the
entire state of texas
amen
now
after jesus
went to the cross
this is the mindset that believers
should have and think this way 24 7.
when jesus
went to the cross
and then went into hell
and paid the
awesome
terrible
penalty
for adam’s sin
he took his place he took our place
there was a guy that really i mean he he
came to the service that night to get on
me
i’m not talking about talking he came
there to get on me he was
and um
because some of his uh some of his
church members went to him and told him
brother copeland said jesus went to hell
what made him mad
well i didn’t say it the bible said it
but anyway
and so he came there i mean he was he
and he he’s big enough to do it too how
do you know he’s a big fella and the
church we were in that night was just
about the size of this center section
here
and i when he came through the door i
was standing on the platform which
wasn’t about that high
and i was standing there and i knew it
when he came through the door
it just it rose up in the let the lord
let me know what he’s coming for
and so i just looked at him i said well
lord there he comes
and
i just stood there
and uh
he got right up to me
now he’s pastor of a methodist church i
found out
later
that
he had he got saved
he was a truck driver
and an alcoholic
and the lord delivered him and i and he
he’s a wonderful guy but boy it made him
mad when i said jesus went to hell i
mean that did whoa
that this morning he knew what to do
with
and he got right up to me
and he
and when he got right there god baptized
him in the holy ghost and he started
talking in tongues
and he just looked at me i like my crap
and he’s just talking to me just talking
to me in the spirit you know and finally
it backwards he went over he went and
then oh he prayed worship god and and
he stayed the rest of the service well
he said later
he said he went back to the church he
said i couldn’t even go to bed he said i
went he said i just got up went over to
sanctuary and got on my face before god
and he said i prayed and i cried and i
laughed and i talked my tongue some more
and he said i’ll just have the greatest
time i’ve ever had in my life
he said in the middle of all of that i
just stopped and i said
jesus
did you go to hell
and he said just that quick the word of
the lord came to him said you better
believe it big boy if i hadn’t you would
if i didn’t you would
that’s the only thing that keeps us from
going to hell
well you go to hell for line same is
stealing no you don’t go to hell for
lying or stealing
there’s only one sin that sent any human
being to hell and that is not accepting
jesus christ as lord and sake he said
the holy ghost comes he’ll reprove the
world of sin because they believe not on
me
because the rest of it’s been fixed
now
this is the way
our thought life should run
when jesus went into hell
suffered there but you have to
understand by the spirit of god
he
don’t you remember he was made to be sin
he was made to it didn’t he did not
commit sin he was made to be sin for us
yes
now
thank you lord my mind
i
have to be very
very
attentive
to only say what i hear my father say
about this
because
religion will do its very best to close
your ears
to some of these things
because of what we’ve held dear for so
many years and they weren’t dear at all
some of them some of them border on
blasphemous when you get right down to
it
religious ideas and religious thoughts
well you know like one fellow said well
mama taught it and we bought it
we didn’t know any better
the scripture said jesus
was manifested in the
talking about
talking about his resurrection talk he’s
manifested in the flesh
and made
alive
in the spirit
he bore spiritual death
for us
we were spiritually dead
amen amen now
listen carefully
jesus
in hell itself
was the first man
to ever be
born
from death to life
that’s he’s the he’s not the first man
to ever be born again the first man ever
born again was adam
well actually he wasn’t born first place
but you know i’m using that to use the
terminology to to strike
a fresh insight into the he’s the first
man to ever be born from life to death
jesus then was the first man now jesus
had been born once
amen he wasn’t created
born of mary
he was the first man to be born again
and he set the pattern
and when you and i accepted jesus as our
lord and savior the spirit of the living
god did the very same thing over us that
he did over mary he hovered over us and
there was born in us a holy thing
hallelujah a brand new
born-again human
being hallelujah
now i want you to see that because i
want you to see what happened
in hell he suffered the total price for
sin no human being but him he’s the only
one who will that ever has or ever will
suffer that kind of prize
see you
you ain’t committed all sins
you’ve certainly never had all sickness
and all disease
my goodness wouldn’t be a greasy spot
left of you if you did
but he did
he did
he went into the
lower
parts of the earth
he went into the
pit
of it all
deeper than any man why because he
suffered it all he didn’t leave out one
tiny small thing
of your spirit your soul your body your
health your finances
i mean did you know that you know that
even your hairs are numbered
you think about that that means that you
have a right to claim the original count
yeah don’t look at yourself and say
boy you’re bald
no no no no no don’t do that
no he’s the god of my hair the same as
he’s the god of my heart and lungs and
everything else glory to god
amen
speak words of life
yeah
amen
yes
now
think of that
think how powerful
the new birth is
in
hell itself
locked
up
nobody had ever gotten out of there
but he did
he destroyed the power of it he
destroyed the power of the grave he
destroyed the power of grief
we sorrow not as others that have no
hope
amen amen
now
now in the middle of that in that light
every demon in hell
was there to annihilate him
he rose up now listen
please
let
jesus die
he didn’t just assume
something for three days and nights and
then just kind of float out no
no
spiritual death
physical death
mental death
and despair
the chastisement of our peace was upon
him
mental agony beyond
imagination
but let me tell you when it is over it
is over
and god said is over
amen
and the first chapter of hebrews gives
you word for word what god said that
raised him from the dead
word for word
and he said again i am a father to him
and again he is a son to me
and he called him god
right there right there in hell
right in the pit itself and all other no
wonder the scripture said it had
had the devil known he never would have
crucified the lord glory no ain’t no way
he’d let him he sure wouldn’t have let
him in his domain
because he tore it completely apart
and right in that now listen are you are
you with me now
a born
again
man
do you know there’s a man in the godhead
this morning
there’s a man
a human man a born-again man is in the
godhead right now
and your joy there
i don’t preach me happy dear
but now listen
a born
again
man
defeated the entire kingdom of darkness
one
one one born again one one born again
man defeated the entire kingdom of the
all of hell all the devils
all of them
at once
and you think the devil’s got anything
on you
you just hope you never found this out
amen amen now
remember
satan said to jesus this is all mine
kingdoms of this world and all the glory
of it are all mine it’s been given unto
me i give it to whomsoever i will and
moments after jesus was raised from the
dead he said
all
authority
has been given unto me both in heaven
and in earth
therefore you go into all the world and
you preach the gospel in my name and you
go cast him out
in that big
yeah now jesus
spoiled
scripture said
or stripped
he made an open show
of principalities powers
rulers of the darkness of this world and
wicked spirits and heavenly places he
made an open show of them
triumphing over them
and spoil
them
you remember they
after a a big war particularly in
ancient times they divide up the spoils
that’s what they that’s what the winner
took from the loser
oh my god amen
satan ain’t got anything
left i don’t care what he had back there
then when jesus got through with it
jesus took back
let me put it let me phrase it like this
the garden of eden belongs to god again
amen
satan
owns
nothing
double nothing
big nothing
anything
anything
that he
has
control over
anything that that he has influence over
he stole it
he has no title deed to anything
except a horrible future
now i’m telling you now you need to
think this way all the time
we got it back yes
we got it back yes
amen
now this is the reason
it is so important
look in um
let’s
turn
to colossians chapter 1.
this is
information
that changes everything
once you renew your mind to this where
you think this way all the time
all the time
it changes everything
jesus said
you seek first the kingdom of god
and
his righteousness or
his way of doing things because his way
is right he is righteous
and all
these
things
things things
will be
added
to you
then he said
fear not little flock
it gives your father great pleasure
to give you
the kingdom
huh
well if you own it you need to be
looking into it right
you need you need to be being governed
by the laws of the kingdom instead of by
the laws of babylon
amen amen now
look right here in the book of
colossians
chapter 1
verse 12 giving thanks unto the father
which has made us meet
or able abel
to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light who hath
h.a.t.e.h who has
already delivered us from the power of
darkness
and has translated us translate means to
take out a one and put into the other
into the kingdom
of god’s dear son
the moment you accepted jesus as your
lord and savior you were born again but
you were taken out of the kingdom of
darkness and translated into the kingdom
of god
you dwell there that is your citizenship
turn to the book of
philippians please
and look in the third chapter
in verse 20.
for our conversation
is
in heaven now somebody have an amplified
translation handy
but we are citizens are you listening
now
we are citizens of the state
the
common
wealth
common
wealth
we are all equal ownerships of heaven
we all have equal ownership in heaven we
are citizens
of the state the commonwealth the
homeland which is in heaven
amen amen
already
you don’t become a citizen of heaven
after you die
no no
no no
look at ephesians chapter 2
verse 4
but god who is rich in mercy for his
great love for with he loved us even
when we were dead in sin has made us
alive together with christ by grace you
are saved and hath that’s that has
already again has already raised us up
together and made us sit together in
heavenly places in christ jesus
amen you’re not going to go to heaven
after you die you’re already there
oh yes you are you sit with him in
heavenly places and the more aware of it
you become and the more you study and
look into and
and meditate on the laws of the kingdom
of god that’s what jesus preached he
said i must preach the kingdom in other
cities also
the gospel of the kingdom the good news
of the kingdom you know what the good
news of the kingdom is ain’t no more
curse
that’s right that’s right
amen
the only difference you have just as
much authority over the curse now as you
will when you get to heaven but when you
get when you when you are removed from
this earth and take it into heaven
consciously
when that happens to you you don’t have
to exercise authority over the curse
anymore
you left the full armor
behind
you don’t need the full armor of god
when you get there but you have you have
authority over the curse now
we’re supposed to be living free from it
now amen
by the authority in the name the word
and the blood yes
glory
now becoming more conscious of the fact
that we
we are
we are already there
seated with him
when you become more and more and more
conscious of that
then that authority grows in you to the
point well you just don’t you don’t
don’t allow this stuff to come in your
house
amen amen
now
let’s uh well let’s go over to the book
of colossians
you know right there in the book of
ephesians before you turn away there
there is a there is a picture
of this being born out of that kingdom
of darkness and put into the kingdom of
there’s a picture of it there too
and and you have he made alive who were
who were
dead in trespasses and sin
wherein in time past
th this is this is wor
you walked according the course of this
world according to the prince of the
power of the earth the spirit that now
works in the children of disobedience
among whom also we all had our
conversation or our manner of life and
times past and desires of the flesh and
of the mind who were by nature or in
other words
your spirit
being that’s that’s where that’s where
your nature is
you were
spiritually the children of wrath
even as others but god
who is rich in mercy for his great love
wherewith he loved us
even now now
even when we were dead in sin let me let
me combine these two verses together
colossians chapter 1 verse 12 and 13 and
this
hath raised us up together
even when we were dead in sin
quickened us together with christ jesus
by grace are you saved
and raised us up together out of the
kingdom of darkness and translated us
over into the kingdom
of god’s dear son and made us sit
together with him in heavenly places
wow
now that’s where your mind ought to be
all the time
not down here
well i’m doing all right under the
circumstances we’ll get out from under
them
and come on up here
come on up here and sit with god
i’d read it through the psalms and it
said and god laughed at the devil
and i thought if i sit with him i laugh
with him glory to god
ha ha
come around here
talking death and
failure to me i won’t hear it
no sir
now
with all of this
yeah thank you lord
thank you jesus i give you praise for
that amen no oh my god
thank you sir yes let’s go to the eighth
chapter of the book of luke
oh i’ll tell you
you’re gonna like this
you are going to like this
verse 1.
it came to pass afterward that he jesus
went throughout
every
city
and
village
preaching
and
showing
the glad tidings
of the
kingdom of god
and the twelve were with him
now he’s preaching and showing
the glad tidings
the good news the good things that are
going on
in the kingdom of god
now here’s what
we need to see this morning because when
you’re talking about any kind of
increase
and like i
like
when i began this morning the lord
brought this up that there’s more to
increase than this financial increase
there is increase in favor
oh that’s big man
i mean that’s big i mean wherever you
are it just seems like they pick you
uh you know for all the good stuff
yeah you got favor on you increase in
favor
well isn’t that going to affect your
financial life well for one thing you
get more out of your money than other
people do when you got favor it doesn’t
cost you as much amen amen
well there’s increase in health
there’s there is
increase in
uh
assets
there there is increase
in um
influence
amen
i mean when the the devil’s just running
wild just getting away with all kinds of
stuff but when god puts a certain
anointing on you
and tells you to go down and talk to the
city council and just something happens
when you walk in there
it just changes things
that that’s
uh
influence that god has
on you and an increase in that
is just marvelous
it has all kinds of
uh of uh
implications insights and uh it changes
a lot of things
well it’ll change it’ll change your
economy too
amen
now
when you’re talking about
increase
our increase
comes from the kingdom of god let me
in the part
thank you father
by being raised
in this babylonian babylonian
system of economy that the whole earth
the whole world is trapped in when jesus
said go into all the world and preach
the gospel when he said world you can’t
you can’t righteously exchange that with
earth he’s talking about the world
and the reason we refer to it as the
babylonian system is because that’s
where it started
when
god blessed noah and his sons
said the same thing to him that he did
to adam
when god said to adam be fruitful and
multiply subdue the earth have dominion
over it
when god said that and said and he
blessed them saying when and he when god
said be fruitful he wasn’t fruitful
until then
multiply he couldn’t have multiplied
until then
because when god
blesses or when god makes a command when
he commands you to do something that
command authorizes you to do it
it not only authorizes you to do it it
transfers his power to and on you to
accomplish it
all you had to do was yes lord
amen
that’s when i got empowered was right
there
i just wanted to do it straight down to
it
now
see he was not just words the first
reason purpose for words is not
communication
the first reason for words
is
the execution of spiritual power
amen
we were born
adam was created a speaking spirit like
god
no other thing can speak
for effect
but the human
man and the born-again human man
has the blessing of the lord residing in
him
amen
now
thank you sir
praise god
get the concept of this now
this babylonian system when god blessed
noah and his sons and said the same
thing he he transferred the same power
onto noah
and his sons as he did adam and adam
blew it off
well
noah and his sons
shem ham and japheth
two of them did the same thing adam did
but shem stayed with it
now
you can
summarize this whole thing
like this
if you go back and look
what ham and japheth and their
descendants did
they
wound up building the tower of babel
and they said
we will i’ll just
just short summary we will meet our own
needs
we’ll make a name for ourselves we will
build our building we will build this
tower we’ll make brick we don’t need
your rocks we’ll make brick we’ll make
our own
man trying to meet his own needs without
god that is at the core of all
socialistic systems
all
socialism
now well no that’s not socialism that
you see that was a monarchy no now wait
a minute the true definition of
socialism
is society trying to take care of itself
without god right we meet our own needs
without god now where is the first
example of that in the bible
adam
sir van you remember the first thing he
did
the scripture said he sowed
a fig
leaf suit yeah
turned over a new leaf
can you imagine what he looked like
this man this man moments ago
like god you couldn’t even see his
physical body all you could see is the
fire of the glory and the magnificence
like the prophets of old that saw god
sitting on the throne and they called
him a man of fire from his loins up in
his loins down and and like
lightning like shafts of splendor coming
out of his hands and they’re inlay the
hiding place of his power
don’t you know something to say adam
look just like him
and so did his
wife her name was not eve
adam called her that later
after they got in a mess
they’d never seen their physical bodies
all they’d seen is this mighty glory
they were clothed from the inside out
whoa
now
when we were born again
we
became inside
out
people
all of babylon
is outside
in
people
that’s the difference between the
kingdom
of darkness and the kingdom
of god jesus said the kingdom of god is
within you
the kingdom of god we’re not talking
about
heaven itself
we’re talking about a government
governed by the
the laws of love and faith
praise god and increase beyond your
wildest imagination
but see
we brought
outside in
where you have to go outside to somebody
else to get everything you need
i had to go outside to there i got to go
to the boss i got to go to my daddy i
got to go to government i got we brought
that into the church and we began to beg
and cry
and call out to god give me give me give
me
um brother copeland you mean it’s wrong
to pray no but the concept was wrong
he’s way off out there and i’m a little
bitty nothing down here and if i could
scream loud enough long enough maybe
he’ll eventually hear me but oh well you
know he probably won’t
that’s outside in
what did jesus say
we read it last night we’re going to
read it again before we get through here
today
the words that i speak are not of myself
the father
within me
he does the works jesus constantly
continually all the time aware of the
father within
always the father within i thought right
after i got saved i thought this sounded
so good you know back in those days i
i was a charter pilot and and in
the aviation business and
oh i’ll tell you i’m so glad to get
saved i was so thrilled i tell you what
i
i was just really liking this
and i thought boy you know
man i say lord now be with me on this
trip glory to god you just be with me
lord i thought that sounded so wonderful
i found out later i’m wasting my breath
because he said i’ll never leave you nor
forsake you even to the end of the world
i should have been thanking him for
being there
amen
you know
it sure would have saved me a lot of
follow-ups back in those days
but you become god inside minded
the kingdom in here minded
oh yes sir of course he’s the lord of
glory but you see now folks now now
well yes praise god yes oh hallelujah oh
yes i oh oh yeah oh yeah oh yes oh yeah
oh yeah oh yeah what’s happening
heaven and earth have come together come
on
oh yeah
you begin to be aware that i’m in heaven
and he’s in me and i’m in him and we’re
one and
amen
and all this
need business
all this stuff
that looks like there’s so much shortage
of
no no that starts fading away
faith starts getting big
grace starts getting big
big big big big praise god and stuff
that used to keep you awake at night you
know just like a gnat on your nose
just
knock the thing off and go on with what
you’re doing amen amen hallelujah
hallelujah
now then
luke 8 let’s go back there again
it came to pass afterward
that he went throughout every city and
village preaching and
showing
the glad tidings of the kingdom of god
and
the twelve were with
him now look at this
and
and
so there’s more than just that 12 that
he’s addressing here right
and
certain women
which had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities
mary called magdalene out of whom went
seven devils and joanna the wife of kusa
herod steward and susannah and
many others
which
ministered to him
of their substance
he had 12
that were directly employed by him
when he said now
i don’t want you taking two coats i
don’t want you taking any food i don’t
want you taking any money don’t bring
nothing when you come go with me now
they didn’t wear the same shirt and
drawers for three and a half years
no
no no no no no
no they didn’t become poorer by
following him they became richer by
following him
amen now in the right here in the book
of luke right right
in the closing days of his ministry he
said when i told you to not bring
anything with you in other words he’s
saying now don’t don’t quit trying to
supply for yourself
quit trying to meet your own needs
see he’s breaking them loose from that
babylon system right now man trying to
meet his own needs without god
like adam did in the beginning so that
stupid-looking fig leaf suit
so what did god do god entered into
covenant with him to meet his knees and
shed the blood of a covenant animal
and made him
a fur suit
god can you imagine god
making a suit of clothes
son that got to look good
i mean it didn’t look as good as all
that glory coming out of them but it’s
probably a real good close second i
guarantee he was the best looking thing
in there
there’s the picture of it right there
sir man has always been trying to do
that ever since he’s been trying to
figure out how he can meet all the needs
because if i can meet all of your needs
i will control
you so satan will do his best to get a
hold of me to try to get me to meet your
needs because he wants to control
bottom line
bottom line
meet the needs without god whether it’s
a monarchy you’ve got the same problem
whether it’s uh
whatever kind of
form of government it is
if
can you see
the united states of america
is the was in its formation was the
closest thing in the natural world to
the construction and
and um
uh
actually
the form
of the kingdom of god that had been in
the natural world as a natural
government up to that time
and still the closest
because you see you see what israel did
when israel
when god was judging israel
man
but they i mean things things were good
because listen you come up against god
when he was running things
you don’t last long
as an enemy you’re just in big trouble
big time
but they said we want a king
we want a king we want to be like other
nations we want a king we want a king we
want a king we we want a kid
and they told samuel we want a king.
samuel went to god god said it’ll ruin
them samuel told them it’ll ruin you but
god said
but
they’re my covenant people see here’s
the thing
when you’re in covenant with god
you have to look at covenant through his
eyes
he has given promises
he has sworn
by his word he has sworn by his blood
to do certain things and he will do them
completely and totally and
and and
and whole
all of it he will do for anybody that’ll
walk in it with him
but
he does not do
in your life
what he says he does in your life what
you say
and if you’ll say what he says he can
work in fullness
but you he’s in covenant with you
and you decide you’re going to do
something else he’ll let you do it
he said i place before your life and
death blessing and cursing you choose
you choose life
you choose life and i’ll go with you you
choose death
well
amen
thank god for repentance
oh yeah thank god that’s part of the
covenant yeah
that jesus has taken care of the
forgiveness so
see like he told me one time he said
kenneth when you confessed that sin
wasn’t when i found out about it son
that’s when you got rid of it
see
you made a decision you came before he
said when you confessed it he said
i have by my blood already taken care of
the forgiveness and i will cleanse you
of all unrighteousness but you have to
come
you have to work with god by faith
see
amen
now
that we’re
we we’ve established this
here is the kingdom of god
and we’re in it
we’re citizens here we own
i’m going to say something here again
now open your ears right now say it i
have ears to hear
because what i’m about to say is not
churchy at all
so listen to what i’m saying not what
you thought i said
since the resurrection of jesus
we
are no longer
servants of god
we are
children of god sons of god
now sons of god serve god
can you see what i’m saying here now
now now hey
i i realize i may i may stick on step on
your sacred cow here
but
she needs to be run off anyway
we
are
not stewards
well you know
it all belongs to god and and we’re just
stewards no
we’re not now stewardship
is
important
but stewardship
by a servant
and stewardship by an owner are two
different things
amen can you see the difference we have
ownership
hebrews chapter 1
jesus spoken to us in these last days by
his son whom he has appointed
heir of all
things things amen things
he is appointed heir of all
things
well are we not joint heirs
yes we’re joined heirs thank god
so our stewardship comes from
ownership amen
praise god amen
amen
there’s a difference in being steward
over something you own
you tend to be a better steward over if
you own it than if it belongs to
somebody else where you have ownership
in the kingdom of god
we’re in this kingdom and we have
ownership here
and we need to get where we are minded
of that so that we don’t
live
by the rules and and by the dictates
of the babylonian system looking outside
to get all the time outside to get
outside to get well i got to get there
how i’m oh yeah you know gimme gimme i’m
jimmy because he’ll get you know no no
no
we we have ownership
and by faith we can call for certain
things
but we need to know how the kingdom
functions and function in it and with it
instead of crosswise of it all the time
if you
were to leave
some government
on the other side of the world
and have
very very
um
hard laws and no freedom and you’ll even
come to the united states
if you continue to think and conduct
your life you continue to keep the laws
of that other country after you move
here you’d be afraid to go to church
because it’s against the law to go to
church
and if you did go to church you sure
wouldn’t want to make any noise somebody
might find out you’re there
well see what happens you’re still in
bondage even though you’re in a place
where it’s no longer unlawful to do
those things you can’t enjoy it because
you’re still in bondage you’re still
living under the laws of a country you
don’t even belong to anymore
and that’s the picture of it
so when we get our minds renewed
to where i’m i function under jesus
christ of nazareth
in the kingdom of god
amen
hallelujah and i only say what i hear
him say and do what i see him do
and
i live according to the laws of this
kingdom praise god and i’m an owner here
i have something to say about what goes
on here
and he has something to say about what
goes on here
amen
now had the church realized this they
wouldn’t just sit and watch tv and gripe
yeah that’s right well they’ve taken all
of our behavior heard that they won’t
let our soldiers keep a bible on their
death oh me
oh my that’s terrible o o o o
and the devil takes advantage of that
and and runs his laws over
christian people to think like that
now
god has turned the authority over to the
church
now don’t gripe about the democrats
don’t gripe about the republicans i mean
because the the the church of jesus
christ is at fault
the authority has been given unto us
we’re supposed to be standing on the
word of god we’re not supposed to be
letting this stuff happen around here
amen amen so but
how did how did that happen
not understanding
rights
laws
of the kingdom of god and its authority
it is far
above in authority and power in fact the
scripture says even the angels have made
known the perfect will of god through
the church
my my mind
that’s the seat of authority in the
earth
amen amen we are not
employed
by
heaven
in the earth we are
deployed
we’re deployed
our needs and our blessing and our uh
our economy
does not
depend on the earth
for resource
no
no
well brother copeland god not going to
just dump stuff down here from heaven
well not for you maybe
um you ever hear something called manna
yeah
he dumped enough of it down here to feed
two and a half million people every day
but then at the same time he blessed
quail that were already here to so many
numbers you couldn’t walk without
stepping on them
so there’s a picture
the mannequin well there’s gold in
heaven
and did you know gold is a common
substance between heaven and earth
the gold that’s in the earth came from
heaven
and a whole lot of other stuff too
now we can spend a whole lot of time
talking on that but the thing we need to
understand hey folks that’s part of our
system
of economics
the kingdom
it got a lot of good stuff in it and it
belongs to you sweetheart
oh yeah not just some little dab of it
he has blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places
amen hallelujah
before
the foundation
of the world
amen
now
i’ve been talking all morning to get to
this right here
oh
now he’s preaching and showing the glad
tidings of the kingdom of god and the
twelve were with him and certain women
were with him that had been healed of
evil spirits three
prominent women and jo and and so on and
many others which ministered to him of
their substance say partners
partners
now
i was reading this
a number of weeks ago
i don’t know how
how many times you suppose i’ve read
this
in
pushing 50 years 46 and a half years
i don’t know
but see
i don’t care if you read it 46 000 years
you still don’t know all that’s in there
i’ll tell you this is
words filled with god
now think about it
you speaking words
filled with god
that’s the way you do the works
of jesus
i only say what i hear my father say
it’s the father that dwelleth within me
he does the work same process you can’t
change the process that process governs
this earth
you can change the words but you can’t
change the process
for satan to do anything
the whole the whole fourth chapter of
mark
jesus dedicated that teaching
to how satan
gets his work done for instance now
remember he said the sower sows
the word
these are by the way by the wayside
where the word was
sown
they received it
with gladness
then what happened satan cometh
immediately now think about this
god sowed the word why did he do that to
give you something to say
that he can back
with awesome power
that’s the system that’s the kingdom
process
that’s the way the kingdom functions and
operates
jesus said i can do nothing without my
father then he turns around
in the 15th chapter of john and said you
can do nothing without me
well certainly not
because there’s no such thing as just
you
you’re either going to be connected to
him or you’re going to be connected to
the devil there’s no such thing as god
thoughts the devil thoughts and then
there’s mine
no
no
you are not a sovereign spirit you’re
going to have to have a spiritual lord
and the most powerful thing about you
are the words of your mouth
amen
so what happens
god sowed that word
and you received it with gladness
so now you’ve become dangerous
where the devil is concerned
he’s got to do something about this
because you’re going to start talking
here
you’re going to start talking those
words that you got from jesus you start
talking those and the father dwelleth in
you starts doing works and you’ll govern
his affairs
amen amen so what does he do
he comes up over here
and tries to do this right
look at me
look don’t no quit looking at god
now see how does he do that
now see you shook your head no you’re
gonna look at the devil but
if i can talk him
into saying
something ugly you’ll look at him
and you get offended
or maybe he’s
um on the six o’clock news
and the cares of this world
pressure from other things
so what happens
if
you
start listening
to him you start saying what he says now
he does the works
same system
different words
amen
that’s not hard to understand
now then
then much more people were gathered
together
so now you’ve got
jesus the 12
three prominent women
jesus is preaching now listen to me a
few weeks ago like i said i was reading
this and i said god look at this that is
amazing whoa
preaching and showing he was showing he
was showing
how is he showing
these
prominent women were testifying
can you see that he had he had people
there that had been healed he had these
women there that had been delivered
there were others there that had already
come out of his meetings he was not just
preaching it he was not just healing
people they were testifying of the fact
that this is going on it’s happening to
me praise god
now you get an overview of his meetings
so he begins to preach on the sower so
in the word
and
as we saw last night he got down at the
eighth verse when he had said these
things he cried he didn’t have ears to
hear let him hear well what is he doing
he’s he’s setting up the kingdom process
your words don’t need to be your words
you listen to my words if you have ears
to hear i my words are spirit and they
are life and if you will hear it you’ll
say it if you’ll say it i’ll do it
you can’t you can’t just be passive
about that amen
whoa
that was amazing but hey
his disciples ask him saying
what might this parable be
now i have read this
and read this
and every time i would read that i still
had the concept of his talking to the
twelve
and said
unto you
it is
given
this is a spiritual gift
unto you it is
given to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of god
amen the insights concepts ideas from
god about what about speaking his words
and the father within doing the work
amen amen
seeking first the kingdom of god and all
these things are added to you
and the scripture said he gives us all
things richly
to enjoy
i had him ask me one day
the word of the lord came to me
and uh
when you when you
when you
purposely developed to hear
his voice and sometimes i say satan
particularly in
the early days
tried to mimic god
but you see
if he’s going to talk to you it’s not
going to be in line with this word
god
will speak to you in accordance with the
word and if you don’t know
if you’re well lord i i know i’m i’m
hearing this on the inside of me
plainly
but
uh i
right off hand i i don’t i don’t know
scripture that has to do with that
and and sir i’m not going to act on it
till i do he’s not going to get upset
now if it’s a devil he’s starting well i
told you to do this and hear you and
then
no no no no the
the father just smiled at you and say
all right
and he’ll start teaching you and and it
may be several days
well who cares he’s got everything in
order everything’s all right
and he’ll begin to teach you about that
and he’ll begin to show you about that
and
scripture after scripture will come up
i’ve had this happen to me
in the congregation and preaching to the
congregation
i know from
a lot of times i’ll just be preaching
and all of a sudden
the lord will have me
go over and deal with something here
and there’s been times i’ve said i used
to
i quit saying it
well
i don’t know why i got off on that but i
found out later and now i know why i got
off on on that because somebody was
asking god about that
and he just answered it
i’ve had time more than once where i
would be preaching along and i’d stop
and just stand right in front of
somebody you know and i’d say well and
besides that now listen to this
and it would be the very thing that they
had asked god about
now i’ve been on the other side
particularly with brother hagin i’d be
sitting there and i had been questioning
and laid it before the lord and i’d say
lord before this can there’s camp
meetings over with us week
i’m um i’m looking into this and and i’m
asking you to reveal this to me and give
me the the the truth
i don’t want to hear religious ideas
about what these verses mean
and i’ve had brother hagin and his talk
and more than once he said the very
words that i said
by the spirit see
the lord just letting me know
listen kenna
amen amen what’s he doing he’s giving me
words
those words now are not my own they’ve
become mine
but they’re his and his words are spirit
and they’re life
hallelujah
now yeah but brother copeland you’re a
preacher well let me ask you this
uh what about philip he did the works of
jesus and he is a deacon
great signs and miracles what about
philip
stephen
huh see
so we’re talking about the kingdom of
god
all of the citizens of the kingdom of
god
fit into the same category
it’s the father that dwelleth within me
he does the works
amen
so
i’m listening to him
amen i don’t have to decide to go do a
work i’ll listen to him and say yes lord
yes lord
now
unto you
it is given to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of god
who is he talking to just the 12th no
he’s talking to his partners
he’s talking to the ones that stayed
with him the ones that ministered to him
of his substance the ones that went from
town to town to town the ones that
followed him the ones that that walked
away from businesses the ones that were
i’m not talking about just the 12 well
certainly it was to them
but people have relegated it over just
to them no no no he is saying to you
to you that’s the reason the apostle
paul wrote to his partners in the church
of philippi
and and he’s he’s saying to them you are
partakers of my grace jesus is saying
you have the s have access to the same
ideas the same
insights the same
revelation of how to function in the
kingdom of god that i have
amen because you got it from me yeah
there’s no such thing as a little
christian
there’s little-minded christians
but there’s no such thing in the eyes of
god as any christian being any less than
jesus
he is the pattern
his success and victory
defines us
not our failure
we need to understand
this
even as we look at the world around us
we need to look through
the way other people
identify themselves
and not judge and criticize people
but look through that and see them
as someone that god loves
gave himself
people
should never
allow
their credit rating to identify them
you should never allow
what you do
i i’ll use this term merely to identify
it because you haven’t renewed your mind
yet most of you
what you do to make a living
you ain’t supposed to be making a living
you’re supposed to be receiving a living
the blessing of the lord it maketh
it maketh
it maketh
well i make a living
i make money
no not your reason you broke
so
he gives us all things richly to enjoy
now now
the lord asked me one day said do i give
you things to meet your needs i said
sure yes amen glory to god he said no i
said no no no
but see the scripture said he
he supplies all of our needs that’s true
but supplying your need was not his
purpose
he gives us all things richly to enjoy
brother gary
and they meet your needs
but his purpose was your enjoyment amen
amen amen
amen hallelujah when that concept
becomes alive and real to you you begin
to realize my increase begins in here
my increase begins in here
18th chapter of proverbs
say it
i receive the gift
to know and understand
the kingdom of god
all of its mysteries
are revealed to me
according to the lord jesus
i have it
i have it
it’s mine i have it
now compare that with well you just
never know
oh man oh yeah i always know
you don’t always know oh yeah i always
know now my minds a lot of times ain’t
caught up yet
but i
know
because greater is he that’s
in me
see god inside-minded i always know
i always know
hell
because
the one that knows it all
we are one
we are one
you always know what god will do
while brother copeland he moves in
mysterious ways
when you begin to live by faith and you
begin to only speak what you hear him
speak and do what you see him do they
start talking about what strange stupid
ways you move into yes
now how how do i kenneth copeland how do
i always know what god’s going to do two
ways i know he does what he says he does
in his word number two i pay very
careful attention to what jesus did
while he’s on this earth
he said i only do those things that
please him
so could a storm that comes through town
and kill four or four five people could
could that please god
if it did then jesus would have caused
storms instead of stopping them
well i believe god put cancer on that
child wake that wicked family up
no no
how do i know that because i know the
word and
i pay careful attention to how jesus
conducted himself because he said if
you’ve seen me you’ve seen the father
and he completely
fully and completely manifested the
father so there’s not anything that god
pleased or that god wanted or god would
do that jesus didn’t do it
now that’s not hard
but people say well what would jesus do
we do what jesus would do but you better
read and find out what jesus did before
you start saying
that amen
now then praise god
oh yeah glory
18th chapter of proverbs
verse 20
a man’s belly shall be satisfied with
the fruit of his mouth and with thee
say it
increase with the increase with the
increase of his lips shall he be filled
death and life are in the power of the
tongue the hebrew word is hand in the
hand of the tongue
now god is the one
that gave
and delegated that authority
amen amen
for us to use the same power that he
uses in the same way he does it
which authorizes him
to go beyond us
hallelujah
don’t you ever ever again say well after
all i’m only human you are not only
human
no
you’re a born-again human
in the likeness of god with the same
privileges as the lord jesus christ
so now notice
you know what what if what if i came up
and i said partner let me tell you now i
got this situation here i’m putting it
in your hands i’m expecting you to get
it done
so what is that that’s delegating
authority right that word hand there
translated in this in the uh
authorized version as power
well you can see now how that’s used i’m
putting this in your power
i’m putting this in your authority but
we even we we commonly use that same
word i’m putting this in your hands
i’m expecting you to do it
well if i put it in your hands i don’t
expect you to come back to me and get me
to do it
i expect you to do it or i’d have done
it myself i mean and that see can you
see god in this
he has put this in our hand to do it
and then made himself available if we
will say what he says say
he will
do the work
that’s shouting ground
oh that’s shouting ground brother i’m
telling you
amen glory to god
so
to increase financially it’s going to
have to begin right here
and it has to you don’t need to be just
just throwing words in every direction
let’s see here
huh
i still got an hour to go i never did
start that clock
too late now
can you take a little bit more yeah
go over to the book of ephesians
the book of
ephesians
and luther chapter 4
ephesians 4
verse
20.
let
no how many
no
none
zero zilch
huh
let
no
corrupt communication proceed out of
your mouth but that which is good to the
use of edifying
that it may minister
grace
to the
hearer grieve not the holy spirit of god
don’t let corrupt communication come out
of your mouth
so
let’s go
back to that process now
this is the way we find out about this
because jesus has already
released he’s already given us authority
to know
and understand the mysteries of the
kingdom of god they’re not mysteries to
us they’re mysteries to the world
but we came out of the world so we have
to have our mind renewed and they’re not
mysteries any longer they’re truths
and laws of the spirit laws of faith
amen and so forth now
let no corrupt communication
come out of your mouth
your
spirit being
was designed
by god it is a direct image of him
and when you were born again
created
are you hearing me
created
created
in
christ jesus yeah
by the word of god
incorruptible seed
that’s the real you
now
your spiritual dna your makeup you’ll be
the way god is yeah your spirit
is is designed and
and
it it does everything it
can do
to cause
and affect
this outside world
we don’t need to have corrupt
communication we need to realize that
everything we say we speak for effect
we speak for change we speak to receive
we speak and declare we speak to bless
that’s the reason
satan does his absolute utmost to get
people to speak the curse
amen
i placed before your life and death
blessing cursing therefore you choose
life how you gonna do that you don’t
have to choose his words because his
words are spirit and their life
amen
so now corrupt communication sarcasm
creates spiritual confusion
and
we need to
know
that pride talk
and confuse talk
and the scripture says you are justified
by your words you’re condemned by your
words jesus said and you’ll stand
judgment for every idle inoperative word
now idle words are the words you made up
idle words are
ineffective
useless throwaway words
now that doesn’t mean
that
it’s illegal for us to speak
in humor hum
a merry heart does good like a medicine
listen god’s funny
he’s the one that laughs at the devil
you understand he he’s i’ve had him just
say stuff to me that
it’s just funny that’s all
he said to me one day the whole church
was just shouting and going on and just
and i was sitting up on the platform
they done they just left me behind me
and i mean they were shouting and
praising god and i’m just sitting there
enjoying it and praising the lord and
and i heard this in my spirit kenneth
if it hadn’t been for sin
i never would have had a serious thought
what about
you think adam was worried about the
garden of eden
not before he fell
he didn’t build it and he didn’t care
go pick and eat
but the picking in the eating got him in
trouble in it
but see god was getting over to me
that he is not upset
right
and the only thing that he’s had to deal
with of course now
we get to thinking oh jesus would you
just come on and get this over with go
go god even yesterday today and today
would be good today would be good come
on come on and come on and come on and
then our train of thought runs towards
this that
in our minds when jesus comes and gets
this thing and catches us out of here
and get this whole mess over with i’m
telling you that you know just sin just
be done with and sickness and just done
with
god sees it done with now oh yes sir
he’s already dealt with it now
his blood is on the throne now his name
carries
absolute authority now
now we need to start seeing things
through his eyes
amen inside our people
increases in
here healing is in here
hallelujah we have the authority
to bless
just like he did in this like he does
because when we hear his words and we
bless
it is
his
blessing
now that was an amen spot right there
let’s close with with this scripture
um
thank you father let’s go to the book of
isaiah
let no corrupt communication come out of
your mouth
i don’t
watch what i say
put a watch over my mouth dear lord
that i don’t sin against you
well
i don’t do that
just because
it’s
wrong
to say it scared me to death
no
i don’t do that
because number one
that didn’t come from god
number two it was a lie
and number three those were idle words
so i need to be repenting for that
i’m just dying to go no you’re not
my feet are killing me no they’re not
if if you actually have a foot that’s
killing you you either need to get
healed or get it amputated one of the
two i mean
better go through life with a peg leg
then
then let your foot kill you
but see that’s corrupt communication
well
in my heart and in my mind it is a
dishonor to god
and to me that’s wrong but that’s the
reason that i don’t speak that way
anymore is because of its effect
i don’t pray over my food before i eat
it because it’s some kind of law
in the church
i pray over it because i am about to eat
it
i am praying for effect
i am speaking for effect
jesus they brought the fishes to him he
blessed and he broke
he blessed the food what do you think he
said
father bless this food bless the
fisherman that caught the fish and the
baker that break the bread
to the nourishment of our bodies
you know he didn’t say that
you instinctively know he didn’t say
that
but we scripturally know he only
said what his father had
taught
him
his father blessed by saying be fruitful
and multiply
now you know what he said over the fish
because it multiplied that’s right
that’s right
we sit down to the table i tell you what
gloria and i something
not every time but there are times
we get
praying and blessing that food we get so
excited man i’ll tell you we get
shouting at the at the lunch table
you’ve blessed our bread and you’ve
blessed our water and you’ve taken
sickness from the midst of us
we’re blessed we’re fruitful we multiply
we replenish the earth and we’ll never
be hungry again hereafter forever and
sickness and disease is a thing of the
past
now that’ll get you excited yes
it also purifies your food
now see that’s not corrupt communication
and that’s prayer for effect
so this is what this is referring to now
notice in isaiah chapter 5 verse 20
whoa
whoa
anytime you see whoa
w-o-e you go whoa
stop here a minute let’s see what he’s
about to say
woe unto them that call evil good and
good evil
put darkness for light and light for
darkness put bitter for sweet and sweet
for better
woe unto them that are wise in their own
eyes and prudent in their own side well
i don’t see anything wrong with that i
just don’t i’ll go ahead and say bad for
good if i want to i mean that’s a killer
car anyway
oh boy
well i ain’t gonna ride in it
you declared it a killer car
i mean i mean people never tell me tell
you copeland that is a killer sermon you
preach last night
well
i don’t just jump on and correct
everybody you know
boy sometimes
i’m gonna say excuse me
or one of the worst ones at all did you
hear that fantastic message sister
gloria preached
it was fantastic
incredible
oh yeah
really
incredible means not worthy of belief
and fantastic
means
fantasy
oh yeah brother copeland yeah but you
know what i didn’t mean no no there you
go wise in your own eyes
here’s the thing of it
you know now copeland i don’t you know
we don’t have to be that picky about
words
well no you don’t have to be i mean you
can say a lot of uglier stuff than that
satan is a legalist
i don’t care whether you meant it or not
you said it that’s right and he’ll use
it on you
amen
because it’s an idol word and it being
idol you just spewed it out there and
he’ll pick up on it
amen
now
dark for light light for dark good for
bed
oh tell you
i’m telling you did you
see that good looking car i’m telling
you that thing is sick
have you ever heard
can you imagine somebody’s saying i’m
telling you that is one healthy car
it don’t sound right does it it doesn’t
fit that’s like
being thrilled to life
he’s thrilled to death
see
now we’ve got some insight it’s corrupt
communication
how do you get rid of it you put god’s
word in your mouth and shut up
if you’re thrilled say you’re thrilled
not you don’t have to add to death or
anything like that to make us believe it
if you were not thrilled all that much
don’t put nothing else out there on it
and say i wasn’t thrilled all that much
you you can absolutely say that
that really did thrill me
you don’t like this one as much
now i’m going to change that and say it
by faith
you’re going to really like this
get rid of the word pride
well now but you know don’t stop being
wise in your own eyes
i sure am proud of my son
what did god say
this is my beloved son in whom i am so
proud
pleased
i’m pleased with him
yeah but brother copeland you know it’s
just not strong enough that’s because
it’s weak in your eyes
but when you speak his word he’ll put
his power behind it
now you walk up to your son
and and you try this you just you just
try it your son or your daughter or your
nephew
or your niece or somebody you just walk
up there and say boy let me jesus
your daddy is sure pleased in you i’m
pleased
now the reason instead of daddy sure is
proud of you
well
you you’ve run crosswise
of god’s word when you said that
so there’s not
your spirit now has a
some confusion there
there’s not enough strength behind it
to get the effect
but when you walk up to that
that
young boy that young woman
and and and you tell them
i’ll tell you something
daddy’s so pleased with you you pleased
my heart son
you pleased my heart little girl you
know that
and that anointing gets on it
it is so big the devil has no chance up
against that
amen amen and i’ll tell you another i’ll
tell you another that’s like it
in strength in power
i don’t care
how ugly
you just
you you just minister this see
ministering grace
did you hear that ministering grace
building up edifying ministering grace
when
you
somebody that in your family children
wife
and you just
sweetheart
i find no fault in you
oh my
ministering grace
see god finds no fault in you
you’re his sweet child
he’ll find any fault in you
and loves you beyond
imagination
hallelujah
hallelujah
i was just really
loaded down one afternoon and
just seemed like the whole all the
ministry and all of the things about it
and everything else just
caved in on me and gloria was standing
behind me
and she she’d walk around behind me and
put her hands on me i was sitting in a
chair and and she began to pray
and she stopped
and she got it ran down my face
she said
kenneth
i find no fault in you
i’ll tell you it hit me with an impact
that
there was no question about the fact
that the father within
began to work
and that stuff just
it’s just like it just flew out of the
house and all i all was left was a big
smile and tears running down my face
and my wife finds no fault in me
jesus loves me
i said that’s going to be the last
scripture but that one
john 14
right where we were my words are not my
own father that was in me
21st verse
he
that has my commands
my directions
and keeps them
he it is
that loves me
not the one that praised the longest the
loudest
not the one that fasted till he nearly
died
no
the one that hears
my words
and keeps them
he it is
that loves me
and i will love him
and my father will love him
and i will
manifest myself
to him
folks that’ll fix anything
that’s what happened when gloria said
that jesus manifested himself in that
house glory to god and when i said it a
moment ago it happened again
amen
and and
i i know when i laid hands on you it
it it happened again when i laid hands
on you
demonstrating that that
that that is pleased in you oh
he manifests himself
and i’ll say it again
that
jesus manifesting himself to you or me
will
fix
anything
you get anything out of this today give
the lord praise

thanksgiving for it glory to god

again
and and and i get i i i
i get the glorious opportunity to
to to get more new cars than most
because god has me sow the ones that i
have

and um
so
then god just
gave me a very close friend and
and he just gets tickled and i call him
i’ll say hey uh you know he’s what did
you do you give your car again i said
yeah i did i need another
and i kept buying the same one
and but i kept
i kept thinking about the one that’s
just above that one
but i could it didn’t have anything on
it this one didn’t have i
i like the looks of it a little bit
better
and i kept talking myself out of it
i did that three times
well this last time i thought
you know
lord i’m inquiring of you about he said
why didn’t you do that in the first
place
he said there was a time
that that was my plan for you but he
said it was working towards this other
one which is better my plan’s always
been for you to have this better one but
he said you got to worry you wouldn’t
let me do it
that’s glory to god so i you know i said
well i i believe that’s just what i’ll
do and and i’m telling you that car
showed up so fast
and when i got in there and sat down and
i think the lord said now don’t you
enjoy this i said i certainly do he said
sonny that’s the reason i want you to
have it cause i want you to enjoy
i want you to be in joy i want you to be
in joy all the time i want you to be in
my joy i want you to be ready and
enjoyment and we were at southwest
believers convention and they backed our
cars up in there and so on that car
looked good oh it looks so pretty and
one of my
oldest oldest friends in the ministry
charles green just i mean charles greene
took me in when i was green
and oh he’s been a blessing to me he and
his wife and his ministry for over all
these years
and he was standing there in that garage
where they we backed the cars and
services over and
and he said kenneth i got to ride in
that new car this morning he said man
that’s nice in it i said you like that
he said yes i do he said that’s that’s
really a beautiful car i said thank you
brother charles i appreciate that i got
in the car and driving out and the lord
said i want you to give him that car
i said i knew it i knew he was gonna do
that yay glory thy god
then i called him just as quick as i
could i said now see this is reason you
don’t need to be in debt right that’s
right
cause you you in debt to the banker not
god that’s
and so i think i knew you’re going to do
that i called him and he and i just had
a shouting time around that car and
guess what
i got another one just like it

right now don’t you go to god say god
have him give me that one have him give
me that
