Now, we have learned that
there’s great power in the name

of Jesus and that we, being
born-again sons of God,

and you know there’s always
people that are, you know,

want to pick at it.

Well, she’s a daughter of God.

Well, that’s true.

But it’s referring to
mankind, men and women,

that there’s power in
the name of Jesus,

the night that I accepted
Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

I’d never read the Bible.

And Gloria accepted Jesus from
the Bible my mother sent me

that I never opened up.

And, but my mother had prayed.

Now, you can do this on
the 5th chapter of I Peter,

“Casting the whole of
your care over on Him

for He cares for you.”

That’s what she did.

But she didn’t do it
acting on that scripture.

She just got tired
of praying for me.

And she said, “That’s it.

I’ve prayed for
him the last time.

If he goes to hell,
it’s your fault.”

Gloria got saved the next week.

She hadn’t said
anything to me about it.

I got saved two weeks
after she said that.

She literally got out of the way
in all of her vain repetitions

that Jesus said, don’t do.

She said later, I could have
done that all the time.

So it really wasn’t vain.

But think about this now.

She prayed and obviously
prayed in faith.

But then she just kept on.

So she kept negating what she’d
already prayed by going back and

praying the same thing again
over and over and over.

And she put a stop to it and
just got out of the way

and said, “If he goes to
hell, it’s your fault.”

Well, there’s no way He’s
going to let that happen.

And then that… I never
heard of a new creature

like 2 Corinthians 5.

But when I obeyed God and I
still had my Sunday school

teacher’s voice in my spirit,
I heard her voice say, “Boys,

you have to ask Jesus
to come into your heart.”

And I did.

And for about 30 seconds there,
I couldn’t close my mouth.

And profanity was gone
from that day until this.

Now, there’s a lot of other
junk hanging on that had to go,

but I had record of the fact
that I was a new creature.

And then when I found that
scripture, I said, “Well,

of course, that’s
what happened to me.”

Now, that’s a marvelous miracle.

Marvelous miracle.

Because I didn’t know it then.

Well, don’t turn here.

I’m just going to turn over
there and where our classmates

can know where it
is, 2 Corinthians 5.

Verse 6, “Wherefore we are
always confident in Him,

knowing that while we’re
at home in the body,

we are absent from the Lord.

For we walk by faith
and not by sight.

We are confident, I say, and
willing rather to be absent from

the body and to be
present with the Lord.

Wherefore we labor or endeavor
that whether present or absent,

we may be accepted of Him.

For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ,

that everyone may receive
the things done in his body

according to that which he has
done, whether it be good or bad.

That knowing therefore that the
terror of the Lord we persuade

men, but we are made
manifest unto God,

I trust also are made
manifest in your consciences.

For we commend not
ourselves again to you,

but give you occasion
to glory on our behalf,

that you may have somewhat
to answer them that glory in

appearance and not in the heart.

For whether we be beside
ourselves, it is to God,

or whether we be sober,
it is for your cause.

For the love of Christ
constraineth us,

because we thus judge
that if one died for all,

then all were dead.

And that he died for all, that
they which live should not

henceforth live unto themselves,
but unto him which died for them

and rose again.

Therefore henceforth know we
know man after the flesh, yea,

though we have known
Christ after the flesh.

Yet now henceforth
know we him no more.

Therefore, if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature.

Old things have passed away.

Behold, all things
have become new,

and all things are of
God.” What passed away?

That old carnal nature.

It’s gone.

That’s what happened
to me that night.

In November the 2nd, 1962, “Who
hath reconciled us to himself

by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of

reconciliation, to know that God
was in Christ reconciling

the world unto himself,

not imputing or holding
against them their trespasses,

and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation.

Now then, we are
ambassadors for Christ,

as though God did
beseech you by us.

We pray.

So this is a prayer class.

This is a good prayer.

We pray you in Christ’s stead,
you be reconciled to God.

For he who knew no sin
was made to be sin for us,

that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.

New creatures in right
standing with God.

That’s what righteousness means.

That’s just simply an old
English word of saying it.

I’ve heard men that build race
engines and stuff say, well,

that engine needs some help.

It’s just not righteous
yet, but we’ll get there.

We’ll get there.

Something wrong with it.

We then as workers
together with him.

Oh, hallelujah.

So now to the book of Hebrews.

“God, who at sundry time and in
different manner spoke in time

past unto the fathers
by the prophets,

hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son,

whom he hath appointed
heir of all things.”

All right, now here we are.

The power and authority
of the name of Jesus.

Number one, he inherited it.

I had the Spirit of God tell me
in my spirit one time, “Kenneth,

if you don’t let me die, you’ll
never let yourself live.”

Let him die.

Heir of all things by whom
also he made the worlds,

who being the brightness
of his glory,

and express image of his
person, upholding all things

by the Word of his power.”

Wow.

“When he had by himself
purged our sins,

sat down on the right hand
of the majesty on high,

being made so much
better than the angels,

as he hath by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name

than they.

For unto which of the
angels said he at any time,

Thou art my son, this
day have I begotten thee,

and again I will
be him a Father.”

Now, that’s not at Bethlehem.

That’s in the pit
of hell itself.

My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?”

22nd Psalm, and then in
the Classic Amplified,

it is finished.

Well, one of them heard him
say, why have you forsaken me?

And another one heard
him say, it’s finished.

But he went into
hell on that psalm.

He died.

Just continue to read where
we were in the book of Acts,

and the apostle
Peter brought it out.

He went to hell
and suffered there.

They will not leave his
body to suffer corruption.

But he died and was
raised up from the dead.

Now, these words, if
you read them carefully,

the apostle Paul, by
the Spirit of God,

is revealing to us what
God said that raised him

out of hell itself.

“For unto which of the
angels said he at any time,

Thou art my son, this
day have I begotten thee,

and again I will
be to him a Father,

and he shall be to me a Son.”

Again, again.

He was separated
from the Father.

He went to hell, class
so we don’t have to go.

He was separated
from the Father.

And the very thought of it
caused him to sweat blood

in the Garden of Gethsemane.

If there’s any way, let
this cup depart from me.

Nevertheless, not my will,
but your will be done.

Amen.

“And again, when he bringeth in
the first begotten into

the world, he saith, Let all the
angels of God worship him,

and of the angels, he saith,
who maketh his angel spirits,

and his ministers
a flame of fire.

But unto the Son he
said, Thy throne, O God,

is for ever and ever.

A scepter of righteousness is
the scepter of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness,
hated iniquity.

Therefore, God, even thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil

of gladness above thy fellows.

And thou, Lord, in the beginning
has laid the foundation of the

earth, and the heavens are
the works of thine hands.

They shall perish,
but thou remain.

They shall all wax
old as does a garment.

And as a vesture, thou
shalt fold them up,

and they shall be changed,
and you are the same,

and your years shall not fail.

With you the angel said he at
any time, Sit on my right hand,

until I make your
enemies your footstool.

Are they not all
ministering spirits,

sent forth to minister for them,

who shall be heirs
of salvation.” Hallelujah.

We’re heirs of salvation.

They are ministering spirits

sent forth the minister.

Hallelujah.

Thank You, Jesus.

Praise the Lord.

Now, my mother’s brother,
younger brother,

the older brother, enlisted
World War II immediately,

and then went to OCS and
received a commission.

Well, they both went to Texas
Tech in Lubbock back in the day.

Both of them graduated.

But once Alton did
that, Alton Leroy Owens,

they would not allow, that was
the end of the Owens name.

They wouldn’t allow him
to be a part of that.

So, he worked out
here at Consolidated,

and he was a security guard.

He was naturally the most
powerful man that I know

anything about,

and just physical power.

When his son was being born,
second one, who was named after,

we called him Uncle Bud,
but he was, and in fact,

they named him Buddy.

And they found out
that when anybody

went into labor, you
better get there quick.

And they were out there in the
country, and they had a blowout.

He jumped out of the
car, ran around there,

and loosened all the lug
nuts, got back there,

and there wasn’t a jack.

I’m telling you this to get to
something else about an angel.

So, my mother, he loosened
all those lug nuts,

and he backed up to that car.

And he told my mother, he said,
“Now you got to do this in a

hurry, because I’m not going to
be able to hold this thing up

very long.”

He picked up the rear of that
car long enough for her to jerk

that tire off of there,
and put it back in,

and get the lug nuts started.

Then he finished it up
and got to the hospital.

He was driving a new Studebaker
and it was wet and slippery.

This is back before the
day of seat belts in cars.

And that car slid on a
road going up like this,

it fishtailed, and then rolled
down like this into a little

valley there in a hole
and stopped upside down.

He was out of the car with
the car on top of him.

And he said, “I thought about
flipping that car off,”

but he said, “I’d have broken
my feet if I’d have done that.”

So he kept picking it up
long enough to breathe.

Well, he had a
scratch on his hand,

he had squirted blood
all over himself,

but that’s all wrong with him.

And this woman came up.

Now listen, his
nickname was Pete.

The older brother nicknamed
everybody, but anyway.

And so he was Pete Owens.

But that’s important here.

This woman walked up
there and said, “Pete…”

He is out in the
middle of nowhere.

Everything’s going
to be all right.

Help is on the way.

So, they brought the equipment
down there and picked that car

up and moved it to
get it off of him.

She called him by his nickname.

His name was Floyd
Russell Owens.

He wouldn’t wear anything
but blue overalls.

So my uncle Boyd called
him Pete Edmund Boy Blue.

So he was Pete Owens
the rest of his life.

Somehow a woman called
him Pete and said,

“Help will be here in a moment.”

He looked all over the
place trying to find her.

She wasn’t there.

Ministering spirits
sent to minister.

Now in the Bible, all the
angels are called men,

but it also says we have
entertained angels unaware.

And that the devil is
able to turn himself

into an angel of light.

They’re spirit beings.

I have always thought that
my uncle Pete didn’t need

to see some great big angel.

He needed some sweet looking
face and calm him down.

Pete, everything’s
going to be all right.

Right out in the middle
of nowhere with a car

on top of him.

Praise God.

Thank You, Jesus.

So now, but now
listen, “Therefore,

all ministering spirits sent
forth to minister for them

who shall be heirs of salvation.

Therefore we ought to give the
more earnest heed to the things

which we have heard lest at any
time we should let them slip.

For if the word spoken by
angels was steadfast and every

transgression and disobedience
received a just recompense of

reward, how shall we escape if
we neglect so great salvation,

which at the first began to
be spoken of by the Lord

and confirmed unto us by
them that heard him.

God also bearing them witness
both with signs and wonders and

with different miracles and
gifts of the Holy Ghost or

distributions of the Holy Ghost
according to his own will?

For unto the angels, hath
he put into subjection,

hath he not put in
subjection the world to come

whereof we speak.

But one in a certain
place testified,

what is man that thou
shalt be mindful of him,

or the son of man that
you should visit him.

You’ve made him a little
lower than the angels.”

Now, Psalm 8:5 said a
little lower than God,

but that’s not what
this referring to here.

The devil is a fallen angel.

We know what his name was.

It was Lucifer.

“A little lower than the angels,
you crowned him with glory and

honor, and did set
him over the works of thy hands.

They’ll put all things in
subjection under his feet

for in that he put all in
subjection under him.

He left nothing that
is not put unto him.

But now we see not
all things yet.

We see Jesus, who was made a
little lower than the angels for

the suffering of death, crowned
with glory and honor that by

grace he should taste
death for all men.

It became him for
whom all things,

by whom all things and bringing
many sons to glory to make

the captain of their salvation
perfect or mature through

the things that he suffered, but
both sanctified for both he

that sanctifies they who are
sanctified or all of one of

which cause he is not ashamed
to call them brethren.

I will declare your
name unto my brethren,

your name unto my brethren,
your name unto my brethren

in the church.

I’ll sing praise unto
you and deliver them.”

Verse 15, “Deliver them who
through fear of death were all

their lifetime subject to
bondage for verily he took not

upon him the nature of angels,
but the seed of Abraham

upholds all things by the
Word of his power.

He is our Lord seated at the
right hand of majesty on high.

And every day is one day
closer to the resurrection.

And we’ll be back
in just a moment.

Partnership to
me, well, I mean,

it’s affected my life in so many
ways, just going back to, again,

I wouldn’t even be sitting here
because of partnership and

people that went ahead many,
many years ahead and sowed into

KCM and made product available
for me in a time for free,

in a time when I needed it.

That, I can’t, thank
you is not enough.

It’s not enough to say that,
oh, I might get emotional.

There’s a little boy that
wouldn’t be here if it wouldn’t

be, wouldn’t have been for the
partners of Kenneth Copeland

Ministries sowing and sowing
that the finances to make

the product available that truly
planted a seed of faith

in our family to be
able to continue on

when doctors in the world
said it was impossible.

But yeah, that’s
partnership to me.

So I’m so excited that I now
have an opportunity to make that

available for other people to
help strengthen their faith,

help them grow so that
they can live victoriously.

Hello, I’m Larry Warren.

Years ago, the Lord instructed
Brother Copeland to make every

Friday, Offering Day, on the
Believer’s Voice of Victory.

He said to give you, our
partners and friends,

the opportunity to sow into the
Word of God that you’ve heard

and received this
week on the broadcast.

The scriptures for Offering
Day are found in Galatians 6,

6 through 9.

Let him who receives
instruction in the Word,

share all good things
with his teacher,

contributing in support for

whatever a man sows, that
is what he will reap.

Sowing to the flesh
reaps destruction,

but sowing to the Spirit
reaps eternal life.

So, let us not become
weary in doing good,

for at the proper time, we
will reap a harvest

if we do not give up.

The law of seed time and harvest
works with your seeds of faith,

sown into the ministry
of God’s Word.

As you sow into the good ground
of Kenneth Copeland Ministries,

expect to reap your harvest of
God’s provision for you

and to bless others.

Our partnership together
makes it possible to send

the uncompromised Word of Faith
from the top of the world

to the bottom and all the
way around the middle

on every available voice.

Thank you, partners, for your
faithful giving and support.

It is because of you that
we’ve been able to send out

the Word of God for decades
through the BVOV broadcast,

the BVOV magazine, kcm.org, as
well as KCM teaching resources,

and all of KCM’s live events.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
are so grateful for you.

They love and appreciate you
and pray for you every day.

So, wherever you
are in the world,

as you’re fulfilling the
call of God on your life,

we want you to know that prayers
are being lifted up for you,

covering you with the
mighty Word of God.

Let me pray over your offering
today and believe in faith

with you for God’s
abundance in your life.

Lord Jesus, you are the high
priest and the apostle

of our confession.

You’re the Lord of
our harvest today,

and your hand is the
ability to make great

and to give strength unto all.

For all riches come from
you, and you reign over all.

And in your name and
by your Holy Spirit,

I declare the blessing
over every sower today,

and I decree the abundant
harvest be made manifest

according to your faithfulness
and power of your Word

to increase them more and
more to the overflow.

Amen.

I am so glad that you could have
been with us all this week.

Hallelujah.

Listen, go to
church this weekend,

but don’t go to just any church.

I mean, go where they
preach the Word of Faith.

Go where you can learn
these same things.

Like one guy said, “Grandma
taught it, and we bought it…”

Well, amen.

Search the book.

If you need to find out a
good church in your area that

preaches the Word of Faith and
these things that we teach

at Kenneth Copeland Bible
College, kcm.org/churches,

or call us.

We know a lot of good places.

Amen.

Until Monday at this
time, we’ll see you again.

Until, remember this, God
loves you, and we love you,

and Jesus is Lord.

Hallelujah to God.
