Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew 15:30-31
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.
Matthew 18:18-19
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Gloria Copeland — Igniting Mercy’s Power
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
The words we speak are important. Holding onto our
confession of the living Word will ignite the mercy of God!
Hebrews 4:12-14 says:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there
any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but
all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of
him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that
we have a greater high priest, that is passed into
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our profession.
We are to keep a faithful confession based on the
Word of God. We can do that because our High Priest has
already been touched with the “feelings of our infirmities”
and “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin” (Hebrews 4:15). On that basis, we are to come boldly
to the throne of grace and as verse 16 says “obtain mercy”
through the mercy of our High Priest, Jesus.
If we cling to confessions of how bad we feel and do not
take hold of mercy, we are not igniting the dynamite. We
are igniting some other force that we did not want to blow.
The wrong words give the devil power he does not rightfully
possess. It is like holding an explosive and giving him the
match. When we confess sickness and disease, we let him
blow us away with our own guns.
The spiritual law of the Word of God is in Mark
11:23 where Jesus said: “That whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart,
but shall believe that those things which he saith shall
come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
That law works on the negative side, as well as the
positive side. If Satan had any power, he wouldn’t have
to use deception. He would just kill us. But, since he is
powerless, the only thing he can do is deceive us by lying
to us. He tries to work and put us into an area where we
will make the wrong confession. If he can get us to say, “I’m
so bored. I’m so no-good. Oh, I’ll never make it. Oh God, I’m
so sick and tired,” he knows we can have whatever we say.

Gloria Copeland — A Spiritual Force Part 1
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
From Paul we can see that mercy is not only the
pattern we are to follow, but a spiritual force. At the new
birth, the Holy Spirit imparts to us what the English Bible
calls everlasting life. In Greek, it is called “zoe life” or the
life of God. “Zoe” is the element that makes God, God. It is
eternal because you cannot kill or stop it.
Jesus said, “I have come that they might have ‘zoe’ and
have it in abundance” (John 10:10). We are forever as God is
forever, because we have the substance of “zoe” life within us.
Receiving everlasting life is not the same thing as
living forever. You were created a spirit and a spirit can
never cease to exist. To a spirit, death is being separated
from the life of God. You will exist forever whether you
serve the devil or whether you serve God.
In the second resurrection, the graves will give up
the bodies of every person who has died without the Son
of God. Those who have died without obtaining God’s
everlasting life will manifest for eternity the presence
of sickness, disease and death just as they did in their
physical life.
When someone loses his soul, he loses control of it. A
person who goes into hell does not go blank. He has a better
memory and consciousness than he had when he was in his
body. Look at the rich man in Luke 16 who died and went
into hell. He lifted up his eyes and said, “Father Abraham.”
Not only did he recognize Abraham, but he knew his
brothers and Lazarus the beggar. He said, “Send Lazarus
down here with water to put on my tongue (v. 23-24).” He
was wiser in the spirit after he died than he was before.
One time God opened my eyes and allowed me to
see what people’s spirits looked like when they were not
attached to their physical bodies. I saw good Christian
people with undeveloped spirits that looked awful.
They had great big heads because they were mentally
developed and little, spindly, scrawny, spiritual bodies
caused by a lack of spiritual food. These people had fed
on religion, the junk food of the spiritual realm. It had
ruined their bodies.

Gloria Copeland — Have Faith In God
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Mark 11:22-24
Once you have planted God’s healing Word in
your heart, you can pray with confidence, knowing you
will receive your healing. Yet, to get results, you must
believe you receive when you pray. That is when God’s
healing power is released in your body.
KJV—And Jesus answering saith unto
them, Have faith in God. For verily I say
unto you, That whosoever shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass; he
shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive
them, and ye shall have them.
Amp—And Jesus replying said to them,
Have faith in God (constantly). Truly, I tell
you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted
up and thrown into the sea! and does not
doubt at all in his heart, but believes that
what he says will take place, it will be done
for him. For this reason I am telling you,
whatever you ask for in prayer, believe—
trust and be confident—that it is granted to
you, and you will [get it].
Moffatt—Jesus answered them, “Have faith
in God! I tell you truly, whoever says to this
hill, ‘Take and throw yourself into the sea,’
and has not a doubt in his mind but believes
that what he says will happen, he will have
it done. So I tell you, whatever you pray for
and ask, believe you have got it, and you
shall have it.”
NEB—Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in
God. I tell you this: if anyone says to this
mountain, “Be lifted from your place and
hurled into the sea”, and has no inward
doubts, but believes that what he says is
happening, it will be done for him. I tell you,
then, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
that you have received it and it will be yours.’
Mark 6:5-6
KJV—And he could there do no mighty
work, save that he laid his hands upon a
few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled
because of their unbelief.
Amp—And He was not able to do even one
work of power there, except that He laid His
hands on a few sickly people [and] cured
them. And He marveled because of their
unbelief—their lack of faith in Him.
Moffatt—There he could not do any miracle,
beyond laying his hands on a few sick
people and curing them. He was astonished
at their lack of faith.
NEB—He could work no miracle there,
except that he put his hands on a few sick
people and healed them; and he was taken
aback by their want of faith.

Acts 9:32-34
KJV—And it came to pass, as Peter passed
throughout all quarters, he came down
also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
And there he found a certain man named
Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years,
and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said
unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he
arose immediately.
Amp—Now as Peter went here and there
among them all, he went down also to the
saints who lived at Lydda. There he found
a man named Aeneas, who had been bedfast
for eight years and was paralyzed. And
Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ, the
Messiah, [now] makes you whole. Get up and
make your bed! And immediately [Aeneas]
stood up.
Moffatt—Peter moved here and there among
them all, and it happened that in the course
of his tours he came down to visit the saints
who stayed at Lydda. There he found a man
called Aeneas who had been bed-ridden
for eight years with paralysis. “Aeneas,” said Peter,
“Jesus the Christ cures you! Get up and make
your bed!” He got up at once.
NEB—Peter was making a general tour, in
the course of which he went down to visit
God’s people at Lydda. There he found a
man named Aeneas who had been bedridden
with paralysis for eight years. Peter said
to him, ‘Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you; get
up and make your bed’, and immediately he
stood up.
Acts 14:8-10
KJV—And there sat a certain man at Lystra,
impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his
mother’s womb, who never had walked: The
same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly
beholding him, and perceiving that he had
faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice,
Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped
and walked.
Amp—Now at Lystra a man sat whose feet
it was impossible for him to use, for he was
a cripple from birth and had never walked.
He was listening to Paul as he talked, and
[Paul] gazing intently at him and observing
that he had faith to be healed, Shouted at
him, saying, Stand erect on your feet! And
he leaped up and walked.
Moffatt—At Lystra there was a man sitting,
who was powerless in his feet, a lame
man unable to walk ever since he was born.
He heard Paul speaking, and Paul, gazing
steadily at him and noticing that he had
faith enough to make him better, said in a
loud voice, “Stand erect on your feet.” Up he
jumped and began to walk.
NEB—At Lystra sat a crippled man, lame
from birth, who had never walked in his life.
This man listened while Paul was speaking.
Paul fixed his eyes on him and saw that he
had the faith to be cured, so he said to him
in a loud voice, ‘Stand up straight on your
feet’; and he sprang up and started to walk.
