KCM Disaster Relief Visits Partner Francis Hodges in Florida

The KCM Disaster Relief team is in Florida searching for Partners affected by the recent hurricane. KCM Partner Francis Hodges has lived in her home in Cedar Key, Fla., for more than 50 years. When the storm began, Frances left the island to take shelter, and as she did, she pled the blood of Jesus over her home. When Frances returned home, she found a giant, concrete barge sitting in her backyard. The barge had miraculously floated around her home, leaving the structure untouched. It was clear the concrete barge would have completely destroyed her home if it had hit the structure. We were honored to bless Frances as she begins the restoration process of her home from the water damage.

How to Make All Your Dreams Come True

How to Make All Your Dreams Come True

By Gloria Copeland

Are you living the life you’ve always wanted? Have you experienced the joy of fulfilling a lifelong dream? If not, it may be time to get busy, apply the principles of faith, and trust God to make good on His promises to make your dreams come true (Jeremiah 29:11).

 

How does God factor into your dreams? He happens to be the ultimate Giver of Dreams. But how, you might ask, can you be sure that your dream is from God? Here are two questions to ask yourself:

 

  1. Is my dream biblical?

God is never going to call you do to anything that is against His will. He will never call you to lie, steal, commit adultery, injure another person or become a stumbling block to another believer. Conversely, God will call you to do things that glorify Him, build up the Body of Christ, help others, and provide for your family.

  1. Is my dream constant?

If you’ve had your dream for a while, it’s biblical, and it’s always at the forefront of your mind—especially when you pray—then quite probably, it’s from the Lord. You see, God desires to raise up a people who are willing to go into every field, into every community, into every area of life and say, “Here I am” (Isaiah 6:8).

Of course, just because God gave you a dream doesn’t mean its fulfillment is automatic. Often, you must stand in faith and apply the Word in order to see it come to pass. That’s when it’s time to get busy. You must find out what the Bible has to say about your dream and begin to stand in faith on those scriptures.

 

  • Has God given you a dream to go into politics? Then perhaps studying the life of Joseph would be a good start.
  • Has God called you to start a specific business? The Wisdom books (Psalms and Proverbs) are an ideal place to gain business savvy.
  • Has God impressed on you to go into full-time ministry? You’ll surely want to read and study every book, every chapter, every scripture of God’s Word.
  • Has God given you the dream of a godly spouse? The book of Ruth is a wonderful example of God bringing two godly people together.
  • Do you have a dream to be debt free? Then studying what the Word has to say on money matters (i.e. prosperity, increase, obedience, tithing, giving, etc.) is paramount.

Click here to get five scriptures to stand on for your dreams to come to pass.

No matter what your dream is, the Scriptures are filled with wisdom and promises to help you achieve it. As you begin to stand on those scriptures—speaking, writing and praying them over your life—you do two things: You bring your will into line with God’s will and you build your faith.

Romans 12:2 says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” By focusing on God’s Word as it relates to your dream, you are putting aside the world’s wisdom and instead focusing on God’s wisdom. You put yourself in a position to achieve maximum results God’s way.

You are also stirring up your faith so that no matter what happens—no matter what obstacles arise, no matter what well-meaning people around you say, you are secure in the knowledge that God’s Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Your faith is at a place where nothing can dissuade you from believing God’s Word.

Once you do that, then it’s time to pray for step-by-step direction. James 1:5 tells you that “if you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” The Holy Spirit will guide you in what to do, where to go, what to say, who to meet and how to go about doing what you need to do. That’s when you’ll begin to see progress in your dream coming to pass.

Romans 10:17 tells you that “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (KJV). Applying the principles of faith to your dream is the best way to see it come to pass. By studying and proclaiming the Word and listening to the Holy Spirit, you’re sure to build your faith and position yourself to receive every blessing, including your fully realized DREAM!

 

 

What to Do While You’re Waiting for an Answer to Prayer

What to Do While Waiting for an Answer to Prayer

 

by Gloria Copeland

Have you been praying for something? The answer to a particular question? The resolution to a problem? The fulfillment of a deep desire? If so, then you’re waiting for an answer to your prayer. And aren’t you glad that God is in the prayer-answering business? Now that doesn’t mean that you will get every little thing you ask for, exactly when you ask for it. Sometimes you have to be like a farmer planting a crop. You have to sow it, water it and wait for it to grow.

But instead of sowing a physical seed in the ground, you sow a spiritual one. This requires a four-step process:

  1. Do Sow Your Seed
    Sow the seed of love, faith, finances…whatever it is that you are believing for. For example, if you are believing for your financial debts to be paid, sow a financial gift to help ease someone else’s financial debt. If you are believing for a family of your own, then sow time into another family by offering to babysit or assist with some need in their home.
  2. Do Stay Focused on the Word
    After you’ve sown your seed, it’s time to keep your eyes and heart focused on what God’s Word says about it. Find scriptures relating to your need. This website is filled with articles and scriptures to help you stand for your answered prayer—everything from finances to healing to relationship issues and more.
  3. Do Speak the Word
    Water your seed by speaking the Word over it. The Word of God will go to work on your seed and give it the nourishment it needs to grow.
  4. Do Continue to Stand Strong
    When doubts come to your mind that say, This isn’t going to happen. I’ll never have my prayers answered, continue to stand. Continue to speak the Word over your seed. The Word of God will do two things during this time: continue to work on your seed and weed out the negative thoughts from your mind.

While you’re waiting for an answer to your prayer, don’t give up. Be diligent to patiently watch, wait, and use the Word as your water and cultivator. Soon, you’ll begin to see some movement. You’ll begin to see growth. And finally, you will receive your harvest—your answered prayer!

Don’t Dig Up Your Seed!

Genesis 8:22 in The Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, says, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”  For the sake of illustration, separate those two words—seedtime and harvest—into three words…seed, time and harvest…because no harvest is immediate. It’s a process that takes time.

It takes your faith in the Word working on that seed, processing it. You put it into the ground and patiently wait. You don’t go dig it up to see if it’s still there. No, faith knows it’s still in the ground, and patience waits for it to come to maturity.

It’s going to take some time, but there’s going to be a harvest to your prayer if you’ll stay with it. In Jesus’ parable in Luke 8:15, He said of the man who sowed into good ground, “on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience” (KJV).

That may help you to be patient.  It may help you realize that it’s just a matter of time before your harvest—your answer to prayer—comes. Your job, at this point, is to plant your seed into good ground, to keep it watered with the Word, to let the Word keep out the doubt, and then to patiently wait until it’s harvest time.

Don’t give up on your prayer! For whatever seed you have planted according to the Word, your harvest is coming!

Your answer to prayer is that the crop (your harvest!) will come exactly when it’s needed. God knows when the right time is…and when you need it, it will be there!

How to Pray the Perfect Will of God

by Gloria Copeland

Every believer experiences moments when he or she simply doesn’t know what to pray. Even if you believe wholeheartedly that you do know what to pray, what if you get it wrong? The good news is that you don’t have to worry, because God has given every born-again believer a gift to help them pray the perfect will of God every time! It’s the gift of praying in the spirit, or speaking in tongues.
Praying in the spirit is a gift that every believer should desire. However, if you are a new Christian or new to the Spirit-led life, you may not understand why it’s so important or how to go about doing it.

Why Pray in Tongues

First, it’s important to understand why it’s so important. Romans 8:26-27 explains:

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

First Corinthians 14:2 goes on to say:

For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious.

Does this mean you should forego praying in your natural language? No; the Apostle Paul addressed this when he encouraged the believers in Corinth to pray both ways—with understanding (natural language) and in tongues (spiritual language) (verse 15). It’s the perfect combination!

How to Pray in Tongues

Once you understand why praying in tongues is important, it’s time to understand how to do it. First, understand that receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues doesn’t require a big, formal ritual. You also don’t have to beg for this gift to be given to you. If you are a born-again believer, you simply have to ask.

Luke 11:9-10 says, “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues only requires a desire and a willingness. It begins with a prayer.

Heavenly Father, thank You for all that You have done in my life. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for me. I have accepted Him as my personal Lord and Savior. I thank You for Your Word and I trust that You will provide everything that Your Word promises.

Right now, Father, I ask for Your Holy Spirit to fill me to overflowing. I want every good thing that You have promised, and that includes the ability to speak in tongues.

Your Word says that if I ask, I will receive the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and that’s what I want. This is a good thing, and I know that You want to give Your children every good thing.

I trust You, I praise You, and I fully expect to receive my spiritual prayer language. Amen.

Now begin praising the Lord. Open your mouth right now and begin praising and worshiping Him. You may even want to sing praises. As phrases and sounds begin to come to your mind, speak them out. Don’t hesitate. This is the beginning of your prayer language.

Once you receive the gift of tongues, commit to using it daily. Allow the Holy Spirit to encourage you and pray through you. It’s the beginning of a new and deeper phase of your Christian walk. Enjoy it!

You Can Provide for Your Family!

by Kenneth Copeland

Right now, the devil is desperately working to get you to believe you’re a victim of the economy. As the cash flow in the world’s economy tightens, he is pressuring you to see yourself as nothing more than a consumer feeling the pinch. He’s trying to convince you that you can’t even provide for your family. But he’s absolutely wrong!

If you’re a born-again child of God, the Bible paints an entirely different picture of you. It says you’re a victor not a victim. It says that because the Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not lack. According to the Bible, you’re on earth to be more than a pinch-feeling consumer. You are here to be a provider!

You’re the Seed of Abraham

As the seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:29), you are God’s representative on earth. You’re blessed with the divine power not just to survive this world’s economic shortcomings, but to thrive despite them. You’re an agent of God sent to take prosperity everywhere you go—that includes providing well for your family and others around you.

Ever since the Garden of Eden, God has blessed His people and commissioned them to be the benefactors of the earth. When He blessed Adam and Eve, He told them to fill the entire planet with the goodness of Eden. When He blessed Abraham and his seed, He did it so that through them “all families of the earth” would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). Now that the Church has inherited the Blessing, God intends to carry out that plan through us. He intends us to be the source of His Blessing  to all people—not just spiritually, but financially as well.

Granted, the Body of Christ hasn’t cooperated very well with Him thus far. For a long time, we let the devil sell us the lie that Christians are supposed to be poor. But those days are gone forever.

The Word has gotten out: Through the Blessing of Abraham that is ours in Christ Jesus, God has made His people rich!

I found that out more than 40 years ago and started preaching it to anyone who would listen. At first, most people thought I was either a lunatic or a heretic.  Maybe it bothered them that while I was preaching prosperity, I was wearing a suit that had been altered so many times it had one big pocket in the back. It didn’t bother me, though. No matter what I looked like on the outside, I was rich on the inside and I knew that before long it would start showing.

Sure enough, it did. As Gloria and I kept tithing and giving out of the little bit we had, all the while believing God would multiply it back to us so we could give more, our financial situation began to change. Debts got paid off. Income increased. Eventually, instead of looking like part of the problem, we started looking so much like part of the solution that one day the bank called us wanting to borrow some money.

That’s the way God meant for things to be.

If you are sitting around wondering how on earth you are going to provide for your family, there’s good news: Not only can you provide for your family, but God can use you to be a provider for others, too.

You’re Meant to Be a Provider

You are not under this world’s economic thumb. You are not meant to simply scrimp by, barely paying your bills, and living under the constant fear that you can’t provide for your family. No, God has called—and provided for—you to do much more than that. He makes it possible for you to not only be a provider for your family but for others around you.

“But Brother Copeland, I’m not like you!” you might say, “I’m not called to be a provider for others.”

Sure you are.

If you have given your life to Jesus, you are the seed of Abraham just like I am. You’re as much his heir as any covenant child of God who has ever walked the face of the earth. In fact, you’re as much Abraham’s seed as Isaac himself was. You have the very same blessing, and it will do for you what it did for him.

When famine hit the land where Isaac was living, he didn’t run around whining about the bad economy. He obeyed God, put faith in the Blessing and prospered right in the middle of the famine. He planted crops and dug wells that ended up providing not only for his own household but for the whole region.

“Yeah, but that’s Old Testament!”

If that bothers you, then go to the New Testament and look at Jesus. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude. They said, “Lord, all we have are a few loaves and fishes. That’s not enough to feed the 12 of us, much less 20,000 other people!”

Remember how Jesus responded? He didn’t agree with them. He didn’t say, “Oh, yeah! What was I thinking? You guys don’t have much, do you?”

No, He pointed to their seemingly meager supplies and said, “Bring them here,” he said. Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.” (Matthew 14:18-20).

For centuries, Christians have missed the biggest part of that miracle by assuming the loaves and fishes multiplied in Jesus’ hands. But if you pay attention to the Gospel accounts, you’ll see that’s not what happened. Jesus couldn’t possibly have handed His 12 disciples enough food to feed 20,000 people—it would have taken all day.

What Jesus did was begin the multiplication process. Then He handed the food to His disciples and it continued to multiply in their hands. The people had assembled themselves in rows, so the disciples distributed the food by giving a portion to the person at the end of each row. He took some for himself and passed the rest to the next person.

     Take some and pass it down. As the people did that, the food increased in their hands. The Blessing multiplied it until everyone had more than enough.

Can you see it? That’s God’s plan for the Body of Christ! It’s why Jesus came to earth! He came to get the multiplication anointing back into our hands. He came to restore to us the Blessing of Abraham not only so our needs would be met but so that, by the power of that Blessing, we could meet the needs around us until there are basket loads left over.

See Yourself As God Sees You

Are you getting this revelation? Are you getting a vision for not only providing for your own family but also the family of God?  I want you to see that you can provide for those around you—your family and those God impresses you to give to.

“Brother Copeland, my finances are so tight I just can’t see how I can do that!”

That’s the problem. You can’t see it…so you can’t do it.

But the Word can change that. It has the power to help you see things in a whole new light. If you’ll open your Bible and find out what it says about your finances; if you’ll meditate on the promises of God, choose to believe them and say, “That’s true. I agree with that,” you can start seeing yourself like God does. You can picture yourself as the provider He created you to be.

I won’t kid you. It won’t happen overnight. Retraining yourself to think in line with the Word, instead of the way you were raised or what you’ve been around all your life, takes time. You’ll have to turn off the news for a while to do it.

Especially in the current economic climate, secular media reports will just re-establish your old ways of thinking. They can only tell you what’s already happened. They can’t tell you things to come. Any projections they do conjure up are made totally apart from God. Stop looking at the picture the world is painting of you as a victim, and start looking at the profile God has painted of you in His Word.

Spend some time in Psalm 112 and get an accurate news report for a change. Take a good, long look at how God sees you, as a believer. Agree with the profile He has provided of you that says: “Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever” (verses 1-3, King James Version).

Notice, those verses don’t say anything about the seed of the righteous struggling to get by. They don’t describe the people of God as weak—economically or any other way. They don’t paint a portrait of the blessed man out on the street because of a foreclosure. They say he has a house and it’s full of wealth. They say God’s seed is mighty on the earth.

That’s what we should be saying too! We shouldn’t be talking about how hard times are. We should be confessing, “I am the seed of the righteous and I am mighty on the earth! Wealth and riches are in my house!”

Begin seeing yourself as the provider God created you to be. Begin thanking God right now that you can provide for your family and for anyone else He bring across your path.

THE BLESSING Always Works

Do you wonder if what I’m saying is really true? Do you still question whether you can provide for your own family let alone have enough extra resources to provide for others who need it? If so, read the next few verses. They let us know THE BLESSING keeps working even in the bleakest financial times.

Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearlessand can face their foes triumphantly. (Psalm 112: 4-8).

Clearly, those scriptures were written for dark times. They were written for times when evil tidings and bad news are a daily affair.

That’s not so unlike the current situation. The people in charge of this world’s economic system have gotten into a mess borrowing money, and now they’re trying to fix it by borrowing more. That’s the definition of insanity: to keep doing the same thing expecting different results. It isn’t going to work. It can’t work!

“But Brother Copeland, what do you think they should do?”

I think they should get a Bible. It has all the answers. It was written by the wealthiest people who’ve ever lived on the earth, and it tells how they got that wealth. Anyone who chooses to ignore it—especially when they’re in financial trouble—is downright foolish; and yet that’s what the world’s so-called “economic experts” are doing.

God has people all over the world who are smarter than those experts. One of them is a man I know only as Deacon Lewis. I met him in the mountains of Jamaica years ago when I was preaching some meetings there. As I recall, he had traveled all the way from Kingston to get to the services.

After one of the meetings, I spoke with him. I noticed he hadn’t missed a single service and I was curious about it. “Did you come up here to the mountains just for these meetings?” I asked.

“Yes,” he answered. “I quit my job so I could come.”

“You quit your job?” I’d known people who were committed to coming to church before, but that beat all I’d ever seen.

“Yeah, I had to quit. But that’s OK,” he said. “I can take what I am learning from you about the Word and get a much better job.”

People who don’t know anything about THE BLESSING would think what Deacon Lewis did wasn’t very smart. Babylon’s financial experts would advise against it—especially in a place like Jamaica where good jobs are hard to come by. They’d say, “Forget the Bible study, man. You’ve got to earn a living!”

But the Word says something different. It says the Blessing of the Lord maketh rich and the man who delights in God’s Word will guide his affairs with discretion (Proverbs 10:22). He’ll end up in the light when everyone else is stumbling around in darkness.

Sure enough, that’s what Deacon Lewis did. He went back home and got a much better job than he had before. He wrote a letter and told me about it—I wasn’t surprised at all.

Deacon Lewis put God’s Word to work in his life and so can you. Not only can you provide for your own family, but God can use you to provide for others in His family. When others are crying doom and gloom and looking for someone to bail them out, you’ll be bringing good news and extending a helping hand.

Dare to Believe

No matter what your bank balance looks like right now, if you’ll dare to believe God’s profile of you as a prosperous provider, there will come a time when people around you will say the same thing about you that God says in Psalm 112:9—“they share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor.”

If you’ll imprint Psalm 112 on your imagination and see yourself in the light of it, when others are cutting back on their giving because of the economic crunch, you’ll be giving more than ever before. While the world is hanging on to every dollar it can get, you’ll be dispersing. Your own family will be well provided for, but you’ll be jumping up from the dinner table to go meet someone’s need.

The devil, of course, will hate it. “The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.” (verse 10). But so what? Anything he does to stop you will roll off you like water off a duck.

No matter what he does, you and all the rest of this Blessed bunch will keep multiplying and providing in ever-greater ways. We’ll keep getting richer and richer because, as the seed of Abraham, it’s not the economy, it’s not our jobs, or our sweat and toil that bring us wealth; it’s “the blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22).

Now more than ever, we—as God’s agents on the earth—need to believe that. For the sake of God’s plan and for the sake of a world that is in desperate need of the Blessing that’s on us, we must see ourselves like God does. We must act like 2 Corinthians 8:9 is true: “You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.”

Jesus became as poor as we were, for only one reason: to make us as rich as He is—not so we could be the consummate consumers, but so we, “will always have everything we need and plenty left over to share with others.” (2 Corinthians 9:8). He did it so we could become the greatest providers this world has ever seen.

Back to School Reach Blesses Mesquite, Texas!

 

Kids are heading back to school, and the Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) Outreach ministry team went to work to help the families in the communities of Rowlett, Mesquite and Garland, Texas, who are still rebuilding their lives after tornados devastated the areas in December 2015.

Our team partnered with Light Church in Mesquite to hold the Back to School Reach community event on Aug. 12-13, 2016. More than 400 families were blessed with boxes of food, personal care items and school supplies.

One thousand backpacks full of school supplies were distributed, and 85 people accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior! What an amazing time to join together and reach out to our local community with the love of Christ.

Thank you to all our KCM Partners who help make community ministry outreaches like this possible!
