Gloria Copeland — Salvation Through Mercy Part 1
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
One of the things God wants us to know is that
salvation springs forth from His mercy. Our redemption
was conceived, built, carried out and brought into
operation from a mind of mercy. A mind of wrath could
never have provided redemption. It would have destroyed
us and wiped out all mankind, but God was not willing to
destroy any of us.
If God had destroyed Satan, according to spiritual law,
He would have also destroyed all of Satan’s subjects. Death
would have flowed from the devil to all who served him.
And sadly, the devil is god over a lot of people.
Jesus came down on Satan’s level (where we were) in
order to bring us redemption from Satan’s authority. He
had to come down to us. When Adam bowed his knee to
an alien spirit, he made Satan his god and gave him his
crown. Adam subjected himself to Satan.
Ephesians 2:1-4 says:
And you hath he quickened (or made alive), who
were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time
past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience: among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as
others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved).

Gloria Copeland — God Paid the Price for Your Healing
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil all of his works (1 John 3:8). He did not destroy sin only to leave sickness in dominion. Partial redemption from Satan’s power would not have pleased God nor would it have fulfilled His plan for His family.
He redeemed the whole man righteousness for his nature, peace for his mind and healing for his body. Redemption left nothing in force that came upon man because of sin. Jesus completely destroyed the works of the devil in the lives of men.
First Corinthians 6:20 says, “For ye are bought with a price.” A great price! “Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” There should not be any sickness in the Body of Christ. When one who is sick comes into our midst, the healing power of God should flow so that he receives healing.
In the book of Leviticus, Israel used a scapegoat.The priest laid hands on a real goat, put the sins of the people on him and sent him to the wilderness totally away from the people. That’s what Jesus did with your sickness and disease! He bore them away from you! What you need to do is stand up in the Name of Jesus and command sickness and disease to go away from you. Give them no place in your body. Refuse to allow Satan to have any place in your body.
Command sickness and disease to depart from your very presence out of your home and your family. The English language does not clearly communicate to us in the word “salvation” what the Greek word sozo really means. Train yourself to remember that salvation is not just the new birth of your spirit. It is also peace for your mind and healing for your body. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words 2 says salvation denotes “deliverance, preservation; material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension.”
Mark 16:15-16 says, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” The gospel is the good news of what Jesus did in His substitutionary sacrifice at the cross.
“By whose stripes ye were healed” is not a promise. It is a fact. It has already taken place. Jesus bore sickness away from you and by His stripes you were healed. There is no sin so great that Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary will not cancel it and wipe it away as though sin had never been.
The power of God cleanses and changes one who partakes of the gift of salvation until there is no trace of the old man or his sins. You become a new man, a new creature. Your new spirit is created in the righteousness of God.
There is no disease so devastating to the human body that the same sacrifice at Calvary will not cancel it and wipe it away, and heal that body as though sickness had never been!
The gospel is the good news of what Jesus did for every person in His substitutionary sacrifice at the cross. He bore your sins, so you do not have to bear them. You can be forgiven now! He did that for every sinner. He bore your diseases, so you do not have to bear them. You can be healed now! He did that for every sick man! He bore your pains. He did that for every sufferer. That is what the gospel is good news of what Jesus did for all.
Jesus commanded that this good news be preached to every creature because everyone who hears it and believes it will be saved and healed now.
As the Body of Christ, we do not have to tolerate sickness any longer. We do not have to tolerate disease any longer. Jesus paid the price for our redemption from all the curse of the law. As an act of our will, we are the ones to set into motion the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Proclaim Your Redemption From Sickness and Disease by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Receive God’s Word as words spoken to you by God Himself. It is His desire that you walk in this life in complete wholeness—spirit, soul and body. Proclaim your redemption from the works of Satan. Stop his maneuvers and operations against you in every area of life.
He will flee from you as you apply the Word in faith, and sickness and disease will depart from your body! Allow the gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation, to work for you and deliver you from sickness, disease, grief, pain, fear and torment.
This freedom belongs to you. Jesus has paid in full for you to be made whole—spirit, soul and body. Evangelist T.L. Osborn says, “Any person can turn any promise of God into the power of God equal to what it promises, by believing that promise enough to act upon it.”
If you believe this gospel that I’ve shared with you, now is the time to act. As you proclaim your freedom in Jesus’ Name, give action to the Word that you have read. If you are not born again, make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.
If you are paralyzed, move. If you are deaf, hear. If you are lame, leap up and walk. If there is something that you could not do before,do it now!
Say this out loud with all boldness: “The gospel that I have heard is the power of God unto salvation. I confess Jesus Christ as Lord over my life: spirit, soul and body. I receive the power of God to make me sound, whole, delivered, saved and healed. Now! I act on the Word of God and I receive the power of God.
“Sickness, disease, pain, I resist you in the Name of Jesus. You are not the will of God. I enforce the Word of God on you. I will not tolerate you in my life. Leave my presence. I will never allow you back. My days of sickness and disease are over! I am the healed. I am saved. The power of sickness has been forever broken over my life.
“Jesus bore my sickness, weakness and pain. And I am forever free. Sickness shall no longer lord it over me. Sin shall no longer lord it over me. Fear shall no longer lord it over me. Satan shall no longer lord it
over me. I have been redeemed from the curse of the law. I proclaim my freedom in Jesus’ Name.
“Today the gospel is the power of God to me unto salvation. I receive the gospel. “I act on the gospel. I am made whole in Jesus’ Name!”
Act! Praise. Move. See. Hear. Straighten up! Be delivered! Be free.
Be sound. Be healed in the Name of Jesus!
