ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the Believer's Voice of Victory.
Join Kenneth Copeland and the students of the new Kenneth
Copeland Bible College as they discover that what you believe
is what you will speak and eventually what you will do.
KENNETH: Hello everybody, I'm Kenneth Copeland.
This is the Believers Voice of Victory broadcast. Father, we
thank you today, we give you praise and honor. We open our
hearts. We open our minds for revelation from heaven and we
thank you and we give you praise and honor Lord Jesus, for all
that said and all that's done and we worship and praise you
father, in the mighty name of Jesus, praise the Lord. And
we're here in KCBC praise God if you're having a good time. Amen.
KCBC bulldogs, praise God. Bulldog faith. Hallelujah. Thank
you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord. Yeah, it's amazing. Human beings
were created for faith, we're faith beings. That's the reason
that faith and fear are the same spiritual force. What you and I
know as fear, it's spiritual forces, spiritual forces are the
most powerful forces that exists, not mental, of course
not flesh, spirit. Love, hate, faith, fear, life, death,
blessing, cursing. You notice all of those are exact opposites
of one another. So fear is the most natural thing in the world.
The world is completely absorbed in it. The reason it's so easy,
is because it's taught from birth. Because your parents
taught you how to speak. I mean, whatever they shared, you said,
and you had no way of knowing one way or the other. You just
said what they said. Well, do you remember the sixth chapter
of Ephesians, be followers of God are imitators of God, the
way children imitate their parents. Amen, so but once you
get over into the field of faith and once the laws of faith are
so real to you, they become as real as fear, even more real,
but you have to hear what your heavenly father is teaching you
and how to speak like your big brother Jesus. Because when you
begin ... We have the mind of Christ, but our minds have to be
renewed to that mind. Now, as you think about that Word, we
have the mind of Christ translated. We have the mind of
the anointed one, all right? That literally means then, we
have the shame anointing available for our souls. Our
intellect, mind, will, emotions, intellectual part of ourselves,
we have the same anointing available that Jesus operated in
and with on his mind when he was in the earth. Boy, I'll tell you
what, if that don't set you on fire, your wood's wet brother.
Amen. But then it must by faith the mind, must be by faith
renewed so that you think like he thinks and you talk like he
talked, or speak like he spoke when he was here on the earth.
What happens? You get his results. Amen. I started to
mention this yesterday and I got sidetracked from it. I'm going
to say today, Word of faith is not a movement. The Apostle
Paul, we read it right there yesterday, and in the 10th
chapter of the book of Romans, the Word of faith, which we
preach now, it took on all the earmarks of a movement like what
would you say? The praise movement and the former reign
the latter reign and on all these different things. But
there's nowhere in the Bible it says, that is impossible to
please God without the former and the latter reign, faith.
Impossible to please him without it and is so easy to know. All
you got to do is look at the fourth chapter of the book of
Romans. Therefore, it is of faith so that it might be by
grace. No faith, no grace, no wonder is impossible to please
him without it. And faith worketh by love. No love, no
faith, no faith, no grace. So in that condition, you're not
trying to function in that condition. We've just blocked
God off and just cut him off from his ability to connect with
us with any kind of blessing at all. We cut him out. Amen. Well
not this bunch here. Praise God. No, no that bunch there. No, no,
no, no, no, no, no. This group and this BBOV in bunch of
fanatics. Excuse me. You know where the word fan comes from
the word fanatic? There are football fanatics and all kinds
of sports fanatic. I'm a Jesus fanatic, I am. I'm a Word of God
fanatic. I don't think about much of anything and I'm a
little more interested in football than it used to be
since Jonathan's playing his first year in college ball. But
anyway, I still- Oh my... Faith in God. Just something about it,
the man I heard many, many, many years ago. He said, there's
something about faith in God that will cause him to walk by a
million people just to get to you. Faith in God, amen, thank
you lord Jesus. All right. Number one, fundamental of
faith, believe it in your heart and say it with your mouth.
Number two, fundamental of faith is act on your faith.
Corresponding action to faith. Let's go to Mark chapter five. I
was going to go back to the 10th chapter of Romans, but the Lord
just changed my direction here. So let's look. You understand I
just work here, right? Yes sir. Fifth chapter of Mark, and
we will look beginning with the 25th verse at the woman that was
healed with the issue of blood. Now let me say this again. We
started out with this and on Monday that all of the miracles
in the Bible, all of them, these fundamentals can be found there.
Take for instance, what about David? He said it. He told the
king. He told King Saul, he said, "I killed a lion and I
killed a bear." And now listen to what he said, "That
uncircumcised Philistine." You see how he marked him? He didn't
call him a man. He's a man without a covenant. I hear faith
talking here, don't you? He said, "He's no different. That
lion and that bear." In other words, I couldn't kill the lion
and I couldn't kill the bear. Not myself, but I wasn't in
myself, hallelujah, I have faith in God. He's your covenant man.
So, and he just kept making these kinds of statements. Now,
when he came out against Goliath, Goliath, said it, the
devil said it. "I'm going to kill you." And he cursed him by
his gods. Famous last words. Go back and read it. David said, "I
am going to kill you. You come at me." Now listen to him, "I
come at you in the name of the Lord God of Israel." Hallelujah.
I'm going to take your head off your shoulders- Now, wait a
minute, he doesn't have anything but a sling and a rock, and he's
talking about taking his head off his shoulder. Amen. He
believed it in his heart and he kept saying it. He told his
brothers and all of them out there. Then he told the king and
then he told Goliath and then he did it. I remember when I saw
Hollywood's version of that and they had David doing all of
this. That's just pure bull. Forgive me, but I ain't got a
lot of time this morning. Amen. The Bible said he ran at him,
with a sling in his hand, brother. Oh, and I'm telling you
like a rifle bullet that rock went right in the only exposed
place on that guy's head. Of course, he had a huge target.
His head's big as a basketball and the guy's something like
9'7, whatever it was, and he hit him right there down he went and
then he cut his head off. So he believed it in his heart. He
said it with his mouth and backed it up with corresponding
action. Now, faith corresponding action is acting on what you
have believed and said. Acting as though it is absolutely true.
Putting action to it where if you believe in your heart, yeah,
whatsoever thing that you desire? When you pray, believe,
what? Believe it in your heart that you receive it, and then
you shall have it. You gotta believe you have it before you
can feel it or see it. The NIV translates it like this, Mark
11:24. Whatsoever thing you desire, when you pray, believe
you have received it and you shall have it. That's very
accurate. Praise God. Amen. Say Amen. Corresponding action, so
let's apply this now to this woman. A certain woman which had
an issue of blood 12 years had suffered many things of many
physicians, had spent all that she had was nothing bettered but
rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in, the
press behind, touched his garment for she said, "If I may
touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." And straightway or
immediately the fountain of her blood dried up and then she felt
in her body she'd been healed. She physically felt something
happening inside of her. She physically felt it, but she
believed it long time before she felt it, that is so important.
Verse 30, Jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue
or dunamis had gone out of him. Power had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press and said, "Who touched my
clothes?" And his disciples said unto him, "Thou seest the
multitude, thronging thee, and say us, thou, who touched me."
And he looked around about to see her that had done this
thing, but the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done
in her came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.
And he said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole.
Go in peace and be whole of that plague." Now Jesus on the move
towards Jairus's says house, Jairus faith put him on the move
because he made a statement. Once he made that statement, he
never said another thing. Even after they came and told him his
daughter had already dead. He never said anything. He said,
"You can put your hands on her and she'll live." That's all he
ever said until the girl was raised up. Now you want to see
Jesus using his faith. That girl is graveyard dead. Amen. He goes
in there and said she's asleep. She's not dead. Well, now
brother Copeland, you think he meant soul sleep? Why don't you
go wait in the car? No, he was not talking about any such thing
and that God he's calling things that be not as though they were.
Amen. Anyway, so notice, for she said, "If I may touch but his
clothes, I shall be whole." "Daughter, thy Faith has made
thee whole." That must've been her faith speaking. Amen. Now,
we mentioned this a couple of days ago. Whatever I'm saying,
whatever you are saying, whatever any human being in
their conscious right mind is saying, is their faith talking.
People say what they believe, I believe I'm catching cold. You
just told me. Why don't you believe? Amen and people say
things and say, "Well, brother Copeland you're just being too
picky. I really didn't mean that." Sweetheart, we're not
talking about your intentions, we're talking about spiritual
law here. Amen. You can't just mess around with physical laws
just because you didn't intend to blow yourself up, but you
still blew your hand off anyway doing something stupid that you
knew better than to do. That's like people saying, "Well, the
Lord took him." Well, now wait a minute. Did you ever notice that
when people obey the safety rules, he didn't take near as
many. He didn't take them in first place. In fact, that's a
religious term that for the most part is not true. And maybe
we're headed down the road, we'll get into some of those
that. I now know we will in time to come. So let's look what
happened here with her. Number one, of course, we know she said
it. Now, the Greek word lego is the Greek word used there, which
literally translated is saying, continuing to say for she said
and said and said and said and said, what's she doing? I like
Lego. That makes me think of the little building blocks, she's
building faith, building faith. She's schooling her faith with
the words of her mouth. Now she heard of Jesus. We know what she
heard. She heard the Word because faith came. Now let me
give you this. I know we have scriptural foundation for this
because we know from the scripture that Jesus preached
from Isaiah 61 one everywhere he went and it's explained right
there in the 10th chapter, the book of Acts when Peter Preached
at Cornelius's house and he said that Word, you know which was
preached throughout all Judea, how God anointed Jesus Christ of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. It's recorded in the
fourth chapter of the book of Luke and he began to preach that
and it recorded it when he preached it at Nazareth and the
spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to
preach, glory to God. He's anointed me to preach, and he
listed down through the things that he's anointed to preach,
recovery of sight to the blind, to preach deliverance of the
captives, the acceptable year of the Lord, which was supernatural
debt cancellation. And he preached. Now listen very, very
carefully here. You don't find anywhere in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John where the synagogue in Capernaum was ever hostile
against him. That was his hometown. He moved from
Nazareth, got run out in Nazareth and he moved from
Nazareth to Capernaum. Jairus was his rabbi. He was leader of
the synagogue. Amen, and when Jairus came and fell at his
feet, Jesus knew him. Anyway, what I'm saying to you is this,
and just a little side pitch, I just got 30 seconds to get this
out. I got to get you to take a quick. When Jesus, the guy came
to him and said, "My servant is dying." He said, "I'll come and
heal him." And they said, "You need to do this because he's
built us a synagogue that was in Capernaum." Jairus was
a leader of that synagogue. Praise God, Jeremy'll be
back just a moment. We're out of time.
ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.
