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

particularly

kind of car that i’ve

i i’ve enjoyed for years i drove pickups

for years and years and years

and finally started driving an suv

and um

the one that i kept buying over and over

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

it’s that’s fun it is yes it is

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

all

right now don’t you go to god say god

have him give me that one have him give

me that

god gives you things to enjoy not to

covet yes
