whether you’ve been in church for a
short amount of time or your whole life
you’ve heard the words testimony or
testify but what exactly do they mean
and what does it matter to share your
testimony well think about it this way
in the context of a courtroom now
Witnesses testimony is used as evidence
of the facts and they’re there to
testify of the truth and their testimony
is vital to the case because it’s part
of producing the outcome well in the
world of of a Believer your testimony
does the very same thing you’re a
witness to what you’ve seen God do and
the facts are evidence that he is good
when you testify other people are able
to hear the facts and believe the truth
for themselves like Revelation 1211 says
they overcame him by the blood of the
lamb and by the word of their testimony
now your testimony is one of Victory
there is no testimony that’s too small
to share and the reason it’s so powerful
regardless of the magnitude is because
the devil can’t defeat you when you’ve
already got the Victory and he needs to
be reminded of that and that’s why we
love hearing your testimonies and
sharing the testimonies of others it
really encourages our faith when we
share with one another what God has done
now maybe you’re believing for a house a
baby healing or even prosperity and when
you hear of someone else’s Victory it
gives you hope to keep walking toward WS
the desired outcome of your own life
which is Victory and you can share your
testimony with us by going to insidethe
vision.org testify and today Diana and
Aubrey are going to show you several
testimonies and I believe as you watch
and listen intently there’ll be
something that’s key to your own
testimony partnership means so much to
us here at kopa Ministries because
partnership is connection and it’s
connection with you we want believe God
with you use our faith with you come
together to see you all the way through
to Victory and that is what happens in
Partnership yeah and I think one of the
really important things about being able
to share your testimony is that’s the
only way we can hear back from our
partners that’s right AB we want to hear
that we’re connecting with you we want
to hear that what we’re sharing with you
is being a blessing to you and so being
able to to see what’s taking place
through the power of partnership makes
such a difference and it helps us go
forward to propel other people to their
place of Victory and that’s the power of
a testimony when you share that
testimony it propels others to continue
believing so go right now to insidethe
vision.org testify to share your
testimony I’m Pastor Billy rash and this
is my wife Shelby and we’re from
Bakersville California California as you
will know people have said for a long
time as California goes so goes the rest
of the nation well if that’s what
they’re saying then they need to
continue to say it but it should be
going good not bad it shouldn’t be in a
bad condentation and so we’ve hooked up
with some other pastors some other
ministers that are also partners with
kopa Ministry because there’s a network
already there a background already of
partnership and we’ve decided in
California the governor doesn’t control
it and neither does the sin and the
Darkness and the liberalism it should be
the word it should be faith and we were
at a rally together with Rick and netti
and some different pastors and the Lord
spoke to sh
and said it’s time for pastors to
complete with each other not compete
with one another so out of that we’ve
decided then we’re going to form
Partnerships with the
churches that are of like mind we call
it conservative pastors for California
we’re not running we’re not bailing
we’re not saying people are leaving God
is sending people to California to help
us change that state for his glory well
see we’re trying to change political
Atmosphere by natural
things and you have to vote you have to
do those things but you got to first
attack it spiritually California has got
spiritual Darkness on it we as pastors
that our Authority is there we can’t let
that spread I don’t want to correct that
Pastor or him correct me or us stop
competing and
correcting encourage build each other up
so by building each other up and getting
we become one mind in unity that
anointing flows we can break the power
spiritually which in turn will break it
politically but it has to start in the
spirit realm so that’s what we’re going
after and so we’ve decided that we’ll
all pick up our part complete one
another not compete with one another so
that’s kind of what we’re doing and it
all goes back to what I learned all
those years ago with brother Copan
partnership connecting people wonder
about partnership they think it’s just
Financial so much more than finances
it’s connection it’s a Divine connection
and it connects you to it the anointing
becomes available it’s true partnership
has been so important to us because it’s
kind of
the it’s the activating agent that
accesses you know when you’re when you
have a
corporate group together that are
believing for the same thing that are
praying for the same thing that are
expecting the same things your
partnership is your seed and the cop
Ministry has done so much for so many
people in the sense of being that
covering and so we’re just excited to be
a part of this ministry it’s it has been
a blessing to us and it will continue be
a blessing to us as we continue to
partner with them and encourage
everybody that we talk to to continue to
partner up and if they haven’t they need
to do so now
[Applause]
I just love hearing testimonies from our
partners and it’s such an encouragement
of the way partnership is supposed to
work and I have one here from Katrina
and she says I’m so grateful for ITV it
has so helped me focus on my vision and
not give up and I think that’s one of
the really important things that people
need to remember is don’t give up no
matter what it looks like keep it in
front of your eyes well how do you keep
it in front of your eyes you have to
write it down you have to be able to see
something and when you become a KCM
Vision Insider you’re going to get your
own Vision journal to help jumpstart
your vision journey by what writing it
down so you can go to insidethe
vision.org to sign up to become a vision
Insider and while you’re already there
go to the menu to share your testimony
we want to hear from you
today my name is Randy Roberts uh I’m an
evangelist and our ministry is called
radical walk uh we have just return from
uh 7 weeks in Africa we started off with
about 2 and 1/2 weeks in Uganda Anda
where we preach two Crusades uh for
Christ for all nations which is who
trained me to do Crusades I like to say
that uh Brother Moore and brother
Copeland uh they’ve trained me how to
live my life and once I got somewhat of
a handle on that um uh Sean taught me
how to do Crusades so we were there for
a couple of of weeks and then I went to
South Africa for about 5 days before we
headed to
Angola and uh of course KCM partners and
brother Copeland and sister Copeland
supported us financially but they also
supported us many other ways um this
Angola actually
started about 3 years ago I had come
back um from Tanzania and the Lord had
shown me uh to go to Angola and so first
thing I had to do is I had no idea where
Angola was so I got a map out and I
began to look and uh I found Angola and
then I got settled on a place and the
problem was is I didn’t know anybody
from Angola so in true uh Faith fashion
I brought a plane ticket to Angola um
and then maybe about two uh maybe three
or four weeks before I was supposed to
go came up in my heart one morning about
um kcm’s ministers conference and I had
uh I didn’t have an invitation to that
and uh I didn’t I didn’t know how to get
one um so again I did the only thing I
knew to do which was I changed my
tickets but we end up getting Into The
Minister’s conference well has a
blessing of course in of itself but I’m
I’m there wondering what am I doing here
that’s Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday so
I’m going to Angola on Friday from Fort
Worth now I don’t have one contact yet
um but I’m trusting the Lord so
Wednesday evening in between the
afternoon session and the dinner session
I just got an unction that I needed to
go to the headquarters building down to
the cafeteria place there so I come down
the stairs and I I soon as I come out I
run right into a guy like we run into
each other and uh I say oh excuse me I
apologize he says oh I’m sorry soon as
he talks I can tell he’s from Africa and
I say
um I said where where are you from he
says I’m from Africa I said where at in
Africa he says I’m from Angola I said
where in Angola he says Luanda that’s a
city was going to within 24 hours he had
me on a phone call with a guy that
introduced me to every major National
Church leader except for two in the
whole country this chance encounter at
the ministers conference um opened all
of Angola to us not not in that first
day but since then um and last year we
had gone to Angola and we had two
Crusades in Luanda and uh and they were
Fair we saw
103,104
2,24 salvations we we uh we ministered
to about 800,000 people total and it was
a glorious time I thought back to
something my pastor brother Mo told me
or said I’ve heard him say several times
is that uh the Lord had told him your
partners get the same reward that you do
and he said what and I thought similar
thing what I’ve slept on the dirt floors
I’ve had the brats crawling over me at
night etc etc and uh he said that are
you what are you sure that and he said
the Lord asked him a question um could
you do what you do without them and he
said no he and he said the Lord said why
shouldn’t they get the same reward and
that is absolutely the case here we
wouldn’t be able to do what we do
without our partners without K and which
KCM is one of our partners um and so
when we go it’s just like brother cop’s
going it’s just like the KCM partners
are
going I want to read you this testimony
this is from Ashley and she says I just
watched the first episode of inside the
vision and just WEP with joy and
excitement throughout the episode I was
thanking God that I get to be a part of
all of this thank you for your obedience
and all the time and effort everyone has
put forth to bring this about I love
that it’s just such an encouragement to
me to hear something like that that you
one of our partners is thinking I get to
be a part of this and that’s exactly
what partnership is about exactly what
it’s about so we want to say to you if
you have partnered with Kenneth cin
Ministries whether it’s for 40 years or
5 minutes thank you it is because of you
that we are able to reach lives change
lives all around the world every test
Tony you saw today it’s because you have
partnered with us so thank you so if you
have a testimony to share we want to
hear from you so simply go to insidethe
vision.org testify and if you need
prayer if you’re standing on something
believing God for something a baby a
house whatever it might be just give us
a call 877 28162
97 when you encounter the word of faith
teachings it it enlarges your your
vision for life my name is m this is my
beautiful wife Lind M we from South
Africa I was faced with the reality of
poverty every day uh the thought of
owning a house was not even something
that I ever thought would be possible I
just assumed I would take over the
family home because that’s what most
most South Africans that were in my
context do um but I came across the
teaching how to believe God for house I
remember looking at it thinking how how
can this how can this be even real I
remember I came home and I said Lindy I
found this teaching it’s it’s crazy but
I believe that this is God’s War for us
and and we did it I think we were on the
sixth day it’s a 10-day devotional and I
remember standing up Faith was so strong
in my heart and I said I I decree by
next year this time we’ll have our own
place Dead free and to the exact month
God provided our first property
basically a businessman that I’d never
known we’ hardly met we kept bumping
into each other in random places around
the town and he was like God has called
us to support you guys and I said I
don’t know how I’m part of a pastoral
team I’m getting a salary from the
ministry I don’t believe God has to use
somebody outside and being paid you
giving your ties and offerings I don’t
see how God is asking you to partner
with us when I’m being taken care of by
the church and he said no you missing it
you’re missing it somewhere anyways I
put it off you know so God had called us
to a different part of South Africa to
start our ministry so I told him hey God
gave us this Vision we’re going to the
town we don’t know anybody there oh he
said I know somebody there and he
actually arranged for us to go do our
first bit of scouting in the city and
when we got there it was the second day
he said you know what God just spoke to
me um he said I must buy you a house so
go online choose a house that you want
and and and and and he didn’t know and I
remembered at that moment the Holy
Spirit was like this is it this is the
manifestation this is the month I got
back to the hotel I was jumping on the
bed I said lady you all believer God has
altered our prayers God has altered our
prayers and from that we learned that we
didn’t have to look to man um you know I
had I had so many ministers who cared
for us and who wanted us to do well had
given us all kinds of ideas that I
suppose are good they they make a lot of
business sense but it was so contrary to
what we’ve we had developed at that time
in our journey of faith of looking to
the word of God trusting God hearing
from him obeying on his leadings his
promptings whatever scripture
requirements are there following the
principles and seeing him be true to
that and and from there we put our faith
out for our first bit of crusade
equipments our our sound our stage
generator then we got a small truck then
we were able to go from Village to
Village and do that work you know and it
it all started I believe the Catalyst
for that was you know getting that first
property and and tapping into what’s
what scripture has available for us and
and and we started doing that for every
other area of Our Lives maybe to some
people these testimonies might not be so
great but for us these were lifechanging
experiences to us you know these
Miracles meant the world to us uh we’re
in our young 20s we’re in a city we
don’t
know out there to obey God um following
him not having anyone to turn to and I
think it’s actually been a blessing now
that I I look back because it really
established the foundation for our life
and increased our vision and this all
began with just a few teachings from
this ministry um few teachings but many
many hours of listening to those
teachings things over and over again and
ensuring that I’m applying the
principles and seeing God be true to his
word uh my name is Chris and this is my
wife Sarah and uh we’re currently living
in forward Texas and we’re both
employees of Kenneth cop Ministries you
know one of the things I heard from
Brother Copeland from the very beginning
even in Bible College listen to his
sermons how he learned from you know
God’s scripture that oh ow no man
nothing but to love them um and so I
said all right well that’s that’s in the
word I mean I see it just like he saw it
so we’re going to we’re I’m going to
live that way and for years we kind of
talked about okay when it comes to a
house what are we going to do and we
kind of we we kind of we talk about it
but we never made actual plans we didn’t
really we didn’t really put action to
our faith and the word of the Lord came
to me and it wasn’t audible just on the
inside of me and the Lord said do you
believe that you could go out and get a
loan for a house and I said yeah Lord
You’ve you’ve blessed us I said we’ve
had we’re both making good jobs since
we’ve paid off all debt we don’t have
any debt but we’ve we’ve had debt that
paid off our credit score is great I was
like Lord You’ve you’ve really blessed
us I I definitely think we could go and
get that and in my mind I’m thinking
maybe he’s dealing with us that we could
finally go get a house or something and
instead what he said to me is why do you
have more faith in a bank than to put
you in a home than me and I was like I
was like okay and he wasn’t he wasn’t
mad at me about it wasn’t chiding me for
it but he was revealing to me where my
faith was where that was concerned and
he said I have many many debt-free homes
in My Kingdom but I can’t get my
children to receive them what he told me
was he said the same way brother
Copeland broke a barrier for Ministries
by believing for a plane for his
ministry he said I need people I need
somebody that will believe me for a
debt-free home to break that barrier and
to show my people I can get them in a
house debt free and then he said to me
would you do it for me and I said and uh
when the Lord asked that you know after
everything he’s done I said yes Lord
I’ll do it so we knew that we needed to
put some action to our faith and the
only thing we really need knew to do is
we went out we opened a new account and
we called it our house account and then
we we started arranging our budget where
we could put money in there every every
single paycheck every single month we
got to $10,000 in the account we thought
that was huge the Lord M yeah and and it
was it was probably at that time was
probably years worth of saving or
something yeah a lot of Mone the Lord
put it on her heart take it out and sew
it so we said okay and so we did that
and we just kept going kept believing um
and throughout the whole time The Lord
Is prospering Us increasing us promoting
us so I had an uncle who was not a
Believer um but he was like he was a
nurse and so he lived a very frugal life
didn’t have a car rode the bus that kind
of thing that was just his personal um
deal that’s just how he lived and so he
basically saved his 40 years of being a
nurse um saved most of that in a
401k and so he he passed so my Dad
decided that he wanted to bless us
basically with a majority of the
inheritance that he received um for our
debt-free home and so when we moved in
we moved into a completely debt-free
home all of the bedrooms had been redone
brand new carpet brand new painting and
um it just it it was like the Lord
putting the icing on the cake saying
this was me and so now we have our debt
free home and we so we’ve been faithful
partners and and every time we’ve had
something we we were able to say we’re
we’re partners with Camp Copan and I
believe that it’s enriched Our Lives I
mean there’s no way we would have a dip
free home who knows if we would even
have our boys you know if we weren’t a
part of KCM so I truly believe that our
life is so much richer um being a part
of
KCM we love hearing from you here at
Kenneth Copa Ministries your testimonies
your praise reports what God has done
for you I want to read to you a few of
these that we’ve gotten from inside the
vision thank you for this video I truly
needed some reminding and encouragement
that’s what we’re all about many things
right now leaning in and trusting God
thank you again somebody else says this
has been such a blessing our faith is
increasing again
that is what we are all about yeah and
we want you to share your testimony with
us whether it’s big whether it’s small
no matter what it is we want to hear
from you so if you go to insidethe
vision.org there on on our hamburger
menu you’ll just scroll down and go to
share your testimony fill it out and we
could be reading yours next time she was
experiencing chest pains and shortness
of breath and just kind of heaviness
just kind of continued to physically get
worse and so we took her to the
emergency room and she ended up being
admitted into the hospital they did a
spinal tap and another CT scan to
diagnose her with
menitis so she had been in a coma for 12
days one of the neurologists had come in
and he asked us questions and he was
about to actually leave the room when he
turned
around and he looked at me and and said
prepare for it to be a long road ahead
if she wakes up throughout that time
they had said that she was at risk for
all major organ failure the connections
like that our pastors at my
church their partners with Kenneth
copelan Ministries and my mom even had
they were pretty old at the time but um
the Kenneth Copeland confession sheets
we actually had those at the hospital
and so there were almost every day I
would read one with Brooklyn even those
days that she wasn’t awake we would
still be reading those and speaking
those over her and she had worship music
on we had an iPad with worship music on
right by her head every day we kind of
created the
environment that we knew God wanted us
to create your eyes might see something
that does look
good but you know what you’re going to
speak over her regardless of what it
looks like or feels like you know what
the word says and the word says that
she’s healed may not look like that
every single day but she’s
healed and we stand on that and we stood
on that every day I went to church and
they my family and church family prayed
over me and prayed over Brooklyn for her
healing and I was about about to walk
out of the door and my sister who was
with Brooklyn she had facetimed me and
she said hold on someone wants to talk
to
you
and she had said to Brooklyn she said
Brooklyn who do you need and Brooklyn
said I need my
mama so she was awake and we rushed to
the hospital within a couple days they
had her up and walking around and
starting to do therapies one of the
doctors had come back and opened the
curtain and she looks at the chart and
she looks at Brooklyn and she’s looking
at the chart again and she looks at
Brooklyn and says you do not look like
your story and you know that was just
another thank you Jesus that all that’s
in her story on paper that’s not what
happened and
I wake up every day with the reminder of
the goodness of God and how much he
loves us and cares for us and is
faithful even something that looks
impossible right we always hear
nothing’s impossible for
God but to be able to actually
experience that and witness it happening
in front of your eyes it’s just there’s
not a lot of words for that
you know all of those stories inspire me
so much I love hearing other people
testify to the goodness of God now you
might be thinking I don’t have a story
like that or my testimony isn’t really
that big of a deal well stop that
thought right now that’s exactly what
the enemy wants you to think if he can
keep you from testifying he can keep
others from believing remember at the
beginning when we talked about the
impact the testimony has in the court of
law as we’ve heard it on TV and movies
we will win this case if we have their
testimony well if the world knows the
power of a testimony how much more
should we as Believers know the power of
testifying about what God has done so do
that right now by going to insidethe
vision.org testify and if you’re nervous
about sharing just remember you’re
bringing the facts to the table and this
will inspire the faith of others in
reminding the devil he can’t win when
he’s already been defeated now while
you’re there sharing your testimony you
can also become a KCM Vision Insider
