Gloria Copeland — God Healed All – Every – Any
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
Watch God’s will concerning healing in the ministry of Jesus. Watch for the words all, every and any. “But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all” (Matthew 12:15). Even in a great multitude of people, Jesus healed them all.
This means that not one was left sick! “And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick” (Matthew 14:14). Not just some of their sick—all of them.
Matthew 15:30-31 says: “And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.” (Notice when God gets glory!) Luke 4:40 says: “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.” Any who were sick were brought to Him. He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.Luke 6:17-19 says:
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
The multitude came to hear Jesus, but they also came to be healed. They came expecting to receive. They knew that if they could get where Jesus was, they would receive healing. They came to be healed! He healed them all. Not even in a great multitude was there a person that Jesus would not heal. You know that in a great multitude there were all kinds of people good and bad, but Jesus healed them all. If there was anything that could disqualify one from receiving healing, surely in a great multitude you would find one who was so bad that he could not receive. Jesus healed them all! Thank God the Bible tells us in Hebrews 13:8 that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Luke 13:10-11 says:
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Jesus said Satan had bound this woman. She was a daughter of Abraham and had a covenant with God. She had faith to be healed because Jesus was teaching and preaching about the covenant.
He was telling the people what belonged to them. He was telling them that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him and that He was anointed to preach the gospel and release the captives. Because of His words, they were able to receive. This woman had a covenant.
She had a right to be healed! She was a daughter of Abraham and should have been loosed, yet Satan had kept her bound for 18 years! Jesus commanded Satan to loose her and she was made straight.
We are in the same position today. We have a covenant with God and Jesus has already paid the price for our sicknesses and our diseases. Every one of us should be loosed from the bondage of Satan.
We have the same authority to do just what Jesus did to command sickness and disease to depart. He said, “Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity” (Luke 13:12). He executed judgment in that situation, and she was loosed from the bondage of Satan.
This is a picture of the Church executing judgment in the earth. When you lay hands on the sick, you are executing judgment declaring that the prince of this world (Satan) has been judged and that the power of sickness and disease has been destroyed (John
16:11).
The authority in the Name of Jesus belongs to you because you are a believer. In His Name you are taking authority over sickness and disease in another person’s body and commanding it to leave. It will go!
The Word says if you resist the devil, he will flee from you (James 4:7). As God’s representative, you can cast out devils. You can lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

Gloria Copeland — Keep Your Heart With All Diligence
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
“Keep thy heart with all diligence.” Be diligent about keeping God’s Word in your heart. Continually attending to it with your ears, your eyes and your heart will cause you to live in divine health. The Word of God will continually be made life and health to your body. Don’t attend to the sickness. Attend to God’s Word. Whether you are sick or well, the Word is continually made life and health to your flesh.
This is the surest way to stay healed. To be sick and then receive healing is not God’s best. God’s best is for you to live in divine health, to have divine life continually flowing from your spirit man to your physical man keeping your physical body well. “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans 8:11).
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The forces of life bring healing power. Out of your heart comes the force of faith to relieve you of any problem that Satan would try to bring on you. God’s best is for you to keep your heart with all diligence and have the forces of life continually coming out of your spirit. This realm of God’s very best is available to every one of us if we will spend time in the Word. The forces of life and power coming from the heart are in direct proportion to the amount of Word going in us and the attention or heed we give it. There is no limit to the amount of God’s medicine that you can take. You cannot get an overdose. The more you take, the stronger you get.

God’s Medicine Produces Your Healing by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Proverbs 4:20-21 describes God’s prescription for life and health. If you are well, it will keep you well. If you are sick, it will heal you and then keep you well. There has never been a miracle drug that could equal the Word of God. God’s medicine is the answer to every need.
This is the way the power of God works through the Word. If you put the Word of God in your heart, act on it and obey it, you will always get healed. Take the time to put the Word in your heart concerning healing and keep that Word alive, and the power and the faith of God will always be ready to minister to you as you release your faith. The power of God is always there for the believer who will take the time to put God’s Word in his heart.
Healing is always available to the believer, but faith has to be released in order for you to receive the healing power of God. If you have been feeding your spirit with the Word as you are supposed to, then the moment a symptom of sickness comes against your body, your faith is there to rise up within you and put power behind your words.
If you are a new believer and haven’t had the time to put the Word in your heart, you need help and there are people to help you. You can have hands laid on you. But don’t stay in an elementary condition. Develop your own faith.
Don’t allow the storms of life to overtake you. Get in the Word and renew your mind. Begin to think like God thinks and you will act like God acts. Proverbs 4:20-23 says:
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
God’s prescription is for life and health. God says His words are life to all that find them and health to all their flesh. This means that cancer has to go, arthritis has to go, sickness and disease have to go.
The Word of God is health to all your flesh; but to enjoy the benefits of the Word, you have to do what the Word says.If you have a terminal disease and the doctor has said you have only a short time to live, God’s Word will be life to you.
The Word will prolong your life and cause you to fulfill your days on the earth (Exodus 23:26). It is the life of God. God’s Word is life to those who find it! But what about those who don’t find it? They are not mentioned here because the ones who don’t find it are the ones who perish for a lack of knowledge. Those who do find it are the ones who are healed and live long on the earth.
Your Power of Authority for Healing by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Some people accept sickness as God’s will. Yet the same people will take medicine, be operated on, or do anything else they can in order to get well. Christianity is not just on Sunday morning. Spiritual things work every day of the week. The Bible makes sense because it works! It works on Monday just like it does on Sunday. It is God’s wisdom written in man’s words, so that we can be victorious on the earth.
Some people say, “Well, maybe God doesn’t put sickness on you, but He allows Satan to.” There is only one person who allows Satan to put sickness on you, and that is you.
As a believer, you have authority in the earth over Satan and sickness and disease. If sickness has come upon you, you have allowed it, not God. God doesn’t have to allow Satan to make you sick. Satan is always ready to do the job! Sickness incapacitates you and makes you no threat to Satan at all.
You need to lay aside what tradition has taught you and realize that only Satan could be the source of such powerless, defeated beliefs. The Word of God is the incorruptible seed. Satan does not have the power to stop it. Disease cannot overcome it. Only you have the power to stop the Word from working in your life.
As you study the incorruptible seed of the Word of God, keep your mind and spirit open to the Word to change your thinking. Doubt and unbelief will come against you and say, “Now, you know what they say about this….” Who are “they”? Well, “they” will be the ones who bury you early if you listen to their traditions. Cast out the doubt and keep the Word.
Receive the Word. The power and blessing that you get out of the Word of God is according to how you receive it. You must receive it literally as God talking to you, as the Word of God and the authority in your life. You must decide that whatever you see in the Word you will act on. If you just receive it a little here and a little there, thinking, Well, now, that could be true, you will get nothing from the Word. You have to receive the Word and give it the place of authority in your life. When you allow the incorruptible seed to go into your heart, it will produce the crop you desire.

Paul’s Testimony Regarding Healing by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Paul’s own testimony was, “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:6-7). That is not a description of a man who was sick or weak. Glory to God!
When you are sick, you don’t do very much. You are not strong. You stay right where you are and worry about your own body. When you are sick, you’re not thinking about laying hands on someone else to get them healed. Paul couldn’t have finished the course had he been a sick man. He couldn’t fight a good fight and be sick. The fight of faith is a good fight because it’s a fight you win.
It is my desire to make this same statement when it is time for me to depart. “I have fought a good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.” To me, those are strong, victorious words. Just think
about that. This man was strong in the Lord! In Philippians 4:12-13, The Amplified Bible, Paul said, “I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation…I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me.” Paul learned to rely on the One within him to put him over. He quit trying to do things by himself. He knew he was strong in the Lord, not in his own might.
In Acts 9:16 the Lord said, “I will show him [Paul] how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.” Paul knew he would undergo persecutions and afflictions, and he agreed to it. He wanted to do the will of God at any cost.
Paul was a victorious man. He said, “Persecutions, sufferings, such as occurred to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, persecutions I endured, but out of them all the Lord delivered me” (2 Timothy 3:11, The Amplified Bible). Tradition forgets to tell us that! Paul faced trials and tribulations, but the Lord delivered him out of them all!
The thorn in the flesh that we have heard so much about could gain no victory over Paul and the Word of God. The messenger of Satan could only aggravate and harass him. He could not stop the Word from going
forth. There is a big difference in being aggravated and being defeated! In every situation Paul faced, even death by stoning, the power of God was made strong and delivered him.
We hear so much more about the thorn in the flesh than about the outcome. Paul was delivered from every opposition, from every evil work. When human strength ends, the power of God excels. This
is what we should have been taught about the thorn in the flesh. This is teaching that the Church needs to hear: When human strength ends, the power of God excels!
You can see how helpless we have been with traditions planted in our hearts and minds instead of God’s Word. You cannot stand in faith against sickness and disease when you have been taught that sickness is God’s will for you. How can you stand in faith when you think God has put cancer on you to teach you something?
This tradition is an abomination to the nature of God! How can you say that a loving God would put sickness on you to teach you something? If you believe that, then you need to quit taking your medicine. If it is God’s will for you to be sick, then to take medicine would be to fight against the will of God.
