DONNA: I saw a gift in front of me, wrapped, and you know how
you kind of go, "I'm waiting for my healing Lord. I'm waiting."
And then the Lord spoke to me and said,
"What are you waiting for? Open and receive!"
(Singing) I know my God has made the way for me.
I know my God has made the way for me.
ANNOUNCER: You don't have to live with a sickness or struggle
with pain. Today on the Believer's Voice of Victory,
Kenneth Copeland reveals a loving God, full of compassion,
Who is ready and willing to heal you. Now here's Kenneth.
KENNETH: Now, the 14th chapter of Matthew and the 14th verse,
"Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick." Let's
read it again. He "was moved with compassion toward them, and
he," compassion-- "he healed their sick." Can you, in any
form, any--can you twist your mind around where you could see
compassion making someone sick? AUDIENCE: No, sir. No. KENNETH:
No. "Yeah, but he sinned." So? Compassion is going to knock you
in the head because you sinned? There wouldn't be nobody left
alive. (Laughter) What does compassion do? Forgives all the
iniquities and heals all the diseases. (Audience Agrees) We
quoted that this morning from the 103rd Psalm. "Bless the
Lord, O my soul." Do you realize that he was talking to his soul?
"Bless the Lord, O my soul"? You need to talk to yourself. You
need to talk to somebody that's intelligent once in a while.
(Laughter) Talk to yourself. Enjoy your company. (Laughter)
Amen. AUDIENCE: Praise God. KENNETH: "Bless the Lord, O my
soul, and forget not all of his benefits." AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: He's speaking to His mind, He's speaking to His will
and emotions. AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: And He said, "Get your
mind off of whatever you were thinking on and begin to bless
the Lord." Well, Brother Copeland, how do I bless the
Lord?" It's really not all that hard. "Bless you, sir."
(Laughter) "I bless You this morning. Oh, I bless You for
being so compassionate. Oh, I want to remember that
compassion, and I thank--" Don't you forget that so. You remember
how compassion and remember what we read in the 86th Psalm, He's
full of compassion. "Oh, I bless You for being so compassionate.
I thank You. Oh, bless the Lord--" AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH:
"--and forget not all His benefits, who forgiveth all
thine iniquities and heals all our diseases." (Cheers &
Applause) You notice that--did you notice that? Did you notice
that? He put the sin first? (Audience "Amens") AUDIENCE:
Yeah. KENNETH: Amen. (Audience "Amens") You remember as they
let the man down through the roof of Jesus' house that day,
and--ha-ha-ha--and the first--and one of the things
Jesus said, "Cheer up, boy!" "Be of good cheer," He said. "Cheer
up! Your sins be forgiven you." (Audience Praises) Now, it's
very obvious that's on this man's mind. Jesus is ministering
to him. "Cheer up. Your sins are forgiven you." Amen. Then what
did He say? Well, of course, you know, the folks that were there
began to say, "Well, this man blasphemes. Who can forgive sin
but God?" And Jesus said, "To prove the Son of man has power
on the earth to forgive sin," He said to the man, "Rise. Take up
your bed, and go home." Now, wait a minute. He said, "To
prove that the Son of man has power and authority to forgive
sin, take up your bed, and go home." That proved that. Now,
why did it prove it? The same power, the same spiritual
force--you understand, when you've got something filthy and
nasty, and you run water on it, and it doesn't even phase it,
it's going to take something more than the water to get rid
of this greasy mess? So what do you do? You go looking for
something that's got some cleaning power. AUDIENCE: Amen.
KENNETH: Amen? I want something that's strong enough to break
this thing down chemically or whatever the problem of this is
here. I need some power with the water. Amen. So I bring a
stronger cleaning power onto this dirty stain, and it removes
it. AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: Now, the same power, the same
cleaning agent that cleans and removes the stain of sin is
exactly the same power, the same dunamis, the same power that
removes the sickness from the body! AUDIENCE: Yes! (Agreement
& Applause) Hallelujah! Whoo! KENNETH: And God's full of it.
Ha-ha-ha-ha. And He's in you! (Audience Agrees) Oh, glory to
God. Ha-ha-ha. Hallelujah. Matthew 20, let's go to Verse
30. "And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when
they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, thou Son of David." What they're saying there was,
"Have mercy on us, oh, Lord, Messiah." "The multitude rebuked
them because they should hold their peace: but they cried the
more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David! Jesus
stood still, and called them, and said, What will you that I
shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be
opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes:
and immediately their eyes received sight, and they
followed him." I want to call your attention to something
else, particularly for the benefit of anyone that does not
have natural sight. Don't ever say, of a blind person, "They
can't see." They can. They see. They use other methods with
which to see, but they see. Amen. (Audience "Amens") So--but
don't see with natural sight. Notice, they had no problems
following Jesus. They had no depth-perception problems, they
had no problems coming from having not ever seen before in
their life. I don't know that both of them were born blind, I
don't know that they weren't. Amen. But there is record in the
Scripture of a man that was born blind, and Jesus healed him, and
it didn't take him six months to learn depth perception and all
that. No. Hey, come on. Compassion doesn't do that, just
the same as that fella that never walked from his
mother--been lame from his mother's womb. He didn't have to
learn how to walk. Glory to God. Compassion taught him how to
walk, leap and jump and run! (Cheers & Applause) So don't let
the--if you're--if the devil's been messing with your thinking
about that, and you've, for whatever reason--no, no. Dump
that idea. Dump that idea. And I'm going to tell you something.
Let me tell you something. I don't know. You may not have
seen anything through your eyeballs your entire life. I'm
talking to somebody. I don't know whether you're in this room
or online or where you are. You may not have seen anything your
entire life. And it frightens you a bit, but the idea--and, of
course, this ain't nothing but the devil. And frightening you
that if you got your sight back, "What's life going to be like?
What am I going to do," and all of that--all that kind of--let
me tell you something, darling. You're not going to lose your
sense of touch. You're going to be able to see better than other
people because you see not only with your eyes, you see with
your hands, you see with your ears. You hear and see things
the rest of us can't hear and see. (Audience Agrees) So take
advantage. AUDIENCE: That's right. KENNETH: But let me tell
you the big thing here. I don't care--I don't care
if--ha-ha--how long it were to take you if you had to go back
to school to learn how to see with your eyes. It's the
testimony! It's the testimony! It's the testimony! God needs
your eyes! (Agreement & Applause) The Body of Christ
needs the victory! (Audience Agrees) If God didn't intend for
that happen, He wouldn't have put it in the Book. (Audience
Agrees) And this is a specific and one of the primary
anointings and calls of Jesus. He said, "The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me, for he has called me to preach recovery of the sight
to the blind." AUDIENCE: Whoo! KENNETH: Recovery of sight to
the blind. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, he has anointed
me to preach recovery of sight to the blind." I'm going to say
it to you again. "The--the anointing--" AUDIENCE: Yes. Yes.
KENNETH: "For God has anointed me," Jesus said, "to preach the
Gospel to the poor, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
to preach recovery of sight to the blind, and to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord," which is supernatural debt
cancellation. (Agreement & Applause) Now, each one of these
are specific messages and specific anointings in His
earthly ministry. Well, He hadn't changed. Amen. (Audience
"Amens") That same anointing is in and on you and me this
morning. Glory to God. Amen. (Audience "Amens") Oh,
hallelujah. Oh, I can just hear Jesus. I--oh, glory to God. He's
preaching the acceptable year of the Lord, oh, the great jubilee.
I can just hear Him just out there preaching that, praise
God. And the people get so excited, they knew what jubilee
was. They knew what that meant. Glory to God. And He's
walking--He said, "Jubilee is come. I'm here. Glory to God.
Poor man, you don't have to be poor anymore. Brokenhearted, you
don't have to be sad anymore. Blind person, you don't have to
be blind anymore. Oh, you don't have to be in debt anymore.
Glory to God. You're free today! You're free today! (Applause) I
declare you free today!" You can imagine what happened. I mean,
they just jumped and run, glory to God. And He just started
speaking. Every time He said, "You're free today," somebody
got healed. Every time He said, "You don't have to be blind
today," somebody's eyes popped open. (Audience Agrees) Amen.
Glory to God. AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. Thank you.
Hallelujah. KENNETH: Now, all that whole thing, all that
preaching, all those wonderful things that He preached,
everybody that believed it got it. (Audience "Amens")
Everybody. Everybody. Everybody that believed it received it.
Amen. And that little woman with the issue of blood, I'm telling
you, she heard about Him. Somebody--somebody preached it
to her. Somebody told her about it. She's hearing all the
miracles. She's hearing this and meditating on this. It's illegal
for her to get out in public. She's got an issue of blood. I
mean, you get stoned for that, you know, for getting out in
public. You ain't supposed to do that. But she just kept hearing
it. She just kept hearing it, just kept hearing it. And my
spiritual father, Oral Roberts, he preached a message, "Faith
Coming to the Climax." Glory to God. You just keep feeding that
faith, you keep feeding the Word of God. You just keep feeding
it, glory to God, and faith begins to rise. And faith begins
to arrive. And it comes up to that place where, one day, it
comes to a climax, and a miracle occurs! (Cheers) Hallelujah!
Glory to God. And it got so big in her--she got so big in her,
she said, "If I but touch the hem of his garment, I'll be made
whole. Oh, God. I've got to get out in the street. I've got to
get out there in that street." I'll tell you something about
faith. I'll tell you something about the power of God. I'll
tell you something about the inner workings of the power of
faith, the power that heals. Your faith'll make you whole.
It'll drill down through the unbelief. It'll drill down
through all of that doubt and unbelief. It'll drill down
through the unforgiveness. It'll drill down in there and drill
down in there until it gets down in the part of your spirit where
God is, and it will hit a gusher! Glory to God! (Cheers &
Applause) And sin has to leave! And sickness has to get up, pack
up, and go! (Cheers & Applause) It can't stay in its presence,
this mighty powerful work that's on the inside
of you right now. It is the driving engine of
greatness, faith in God and faith in His love.
(Music)
MALE: Yes, sir. This is Donna from Joplin, Missouri. She
came in with a migraine. The light was hurting her. And she
had her husband sit next her to block the light, and the
migraine's gone. She also--the use of her knee is coming back
to her since been in this service. MALE: Praise God.
GEORGE: Oh, give God praise for that. Thank You, Lord. DONNA:
The Lord showed me, I had my eyes closed, and I saw a gift in
front of me, wrapped. And you know how you kind of go, "I'm
waiting for my healing, Lord. I'm waiting." And the Lord spoke
to me and said, "What are you waiting for? Open and receive!"
And so I said, "Lord, I receive." And I opened my eyes,
and all of a sudden, it was clear, and I could look at the
light, which I cannot do. GEORGE: Thank You, Jesus. MALE:
Hallelujah! GEORGE: "So what are you waiting for?" KENNETH: I
heard--the word of the Lord came to me, and He said, "I'm
changing dementia, Alzheimer's, and brain damage right now." I
declare--"(Audience Repeats) "--and I receive complete
healing for every cell of my brain. Every cell is alive and
working well. I receive the anointing of Jesus on my mind. I
have His mind. I have His Spirit. And I have the brain for
it to use." Now, I bind the spirit of dementia, the spirit
of Alzheimer's. I bind you. I bind you, wicked thing. In
Jesus' name, take your hands off God's property right now!
(Cheers) CATHY: This is Josh. He's been a soccer player all
his life. He played soccer for ORU. He got concussions. He's
had nothing but migraines. They said he was headed for dementia.
His wife drug him in here today. (Laughter) And he's had to wear
sunglasses because the light hurt his eyes. And he just felt
a fire go over him! GEORGE: Praise God for the fire! (Cheers
& Applause) Glory to God! GLORIA: Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
(Praying in the Spirit) Yes! Whoa! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
CATHY: And he hasn't been able to work, and he's going to work
like a Trojan from now on. GEORGE: Hallelujah. GLORIA:
(Praying in the Spirit) MALE: This is Sue from Jonesboro,
Arkansas. For--in her ears, she had roaring, not like a rain,
but a roar in her ears. And since being in the service, she
says she's been healed of that roar in her ears. SUE: I came
for healing. And this is the first time I've been in one of
the Kenneth Copeland Ministries services. And I thank the Lord
for y'all being obedient. They have kept me alive, just, you
know, Jesus, through them and through the Faith Life Church.
Well, you know, I came for healing. When you said,
"shoulders," well, I was trying to do like Brother Copeland and
start exercising and start take better care of my body. So I've
been going to the Health & Wellness Center, and you do
these weights. You put a weight here and a weight up here. Well,
I corrected the weight down here. I forgot to do it up
there. And when I pulled it down, I knew I did something. I
pulled something. I mean, it just hurt so bad. And I thought
I had to go to the doctor. And they said I had something called
capsulitis. I said, anything with "itis" is no good, you
know. (Laughter) And when he said, "the shoulders," I said,
"I take that, I take that," because I couldn't lift my arm
just like that. It would be so painful, you know. But, see, I
came more so for my back than anything. I wasn't even thinking
about the ear. (Laughter & Applause) MALE: Oh, real, yeah.
SUE: You know, I'm turning 70 this year. And you know, the
devil was telling you, "You're getting old. Things are going to
fall apart, you know." And when I came, I really wasn't thinking
about my ear, getting healed for it. But I did think about
Gloria. But she's always saying, "From the top of your head--"
AUDIENCE: --to the soles of your feet. GLORIA: --to the soles of
my feet-- AUDIENCE: -- to the soles of my feet-- GLORIA: --I
am healed. AUDIENCE: --I am healed. SUE: And I thought,
"Lord, I need a 'top of the head to the sole of the feet.'" You
know. I mean the whole work-over. (Applause) You know,
sometimes you take a car in to have it overhauled, you know.
I need--I needed an overhaul. GEORGE: Overhaul!
GLORIA: I need an overhaul! (Applause) GEORGE: Overhaul!
LEN: Hallelujah. GEORGE: Praise God. LEN: Amen.
