(Singing) I know my God has made the way for me.
I know my God has made the way for me.
ANNOUNCER: Jesus came to set you free from whatever
trouble or bondage you are under. He is your deliverer
from all the curse! Join Kenneth Copeland on today's
Believer's Voice of Victory, and build your faith in
the Word to receive Jesus, your jubilee!
KENNETH: Let's begin with Isaiah 10. Let's begin with
the 24th verse. "Therefore thus saith the Lord God
of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid
of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, shall
lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. For
yet in a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and
my anger in their destruction. And the Lord of hosts shall stir
up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at
the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he
lift it up after the manner of Egypt. And it shall come to pass
in that day, that his burden--" Now, to you and me, this
represents the devil's burden, amen, because that's who was at
work here. "I thought it was Assyrian?" Well, yeah, but who
do you think was pushing him? AUDIENCE: Yeah. KENNETH: "It
shall come to pass in that day, that his," the devil's, "burden
shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off
thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed--" not broken
"--destroyed because of the anointing." Now, for the benefit
of those of you that are--are listening in Spanish, I
understand that in Espanol, it is translated "fat." Now, this
Hebrew word translated "anointing" is translated "oil."
It's translated "oil for anointing." So see, it's
refer--even though--and it's translated into English directly
as "the anointing." But in other translations, other languages,
it's referring to the anointing. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: So it's
the same thing either way because it is talking and is a
type and shadow of Jesus. Amen? (Audience "Amens") All right.
Now then, let's--and I'll show you that in the 11th chapter.
"There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a
Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the spirit of the
Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of
knowledge and the fear of the Lord; and shall make him of
quick understanding in the fear of the Lord." All of that is
referring to where we're going next, Luke's gospel, Chapter 4.
Now, I want to--I want to mention to you that word "shall
be destroyed--" the word "destroyed--" the word
translated "destroy" is also translated as "corrosion." Now,
this same yoke in other scripture is referred to as a
yoke of iron. Now, what is corrosion on iron called?
AUDIENCE: Rust. KENNETH: Rust. Now, remember, I said--and this
gets quoted a lot, a lot of times, "The anointing breaks the
yoke." That--you can break--you can fix something that's broken.
AUDIENCE: Right. Amen. KENNETH: But you can't fix something
that's corroded until there's no material left. (Audience Agrees)
AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Amen. (Audience "Amens") Completely,
totally destroyed. Say, "The yoke--" (Audience repeats) "--is
destroyed because of the anointing." Verse 16, Luke 4,
"And he came--Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was--" Now, don't mistake this
as His custom was when He was younger and was living in
Nazareth. That's not what He was referring to. Verse 14, "Jesus
returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there
went out a fame of him throughout the region round
about. And he taught in their synagogues." See, everywhere He
went, particularly at the beginning, He taught in the
synagogues. Amen? Or He went into the temple on the sabbath
day. So now as His custom was--what was His custom? He
would go into the synagogue and go to the 61st chapter of Isaiah
and read these same words and preach this same message
everywhere He went. That was His custom. That's what He did all
the time. So, and--well, I'm--I perceive that some of you are
arguing with that a little bit in your spirit. So just hold
your place there and go over to the 10th chapter of the book
of Acts because I don't want you struggling with
something--this--you--yo ou' 're--you really need to be in
agreement and flowing instead of questioning something. And it's
good to--it's all right to question things, but the
answer's in the Word, not out of your religious tradition.
(Audience Agrees) 10:34, "Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a
truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in
every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children
of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of
all) that word, I say, you know, which was published
throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism
which John preached; how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him." So see, there's--there's-- "Out of the mouth of two or
three witnesses, let every word be established." So there's the
witness to what we just said. We found it here, He went preaching
this. But now Peter said He preached it throughout all
Judea, and it began right at the very beginning. Amen. And think
about this. It would do you good to read through Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John and the book of Acts, meditating on this. Just
see Him, wherever He is, wherever He goes, the sermon on
the mount, in your heart and mind, just see Him standing
there saying, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." AUDIENCE:
Hallelujah. KENNETH: And see, it--we'll see it here in just a
second. I'm going to refer to it now so you'll be thinking about
it. He preached the acceptable year of the Lord, which was the
great Jubilee, supernatural debt cancellation. Now, here's what's
glorious, particularly to me and you today, our ministry--I
didn't know it at the time--I didn't know what the Jubilee was
back in those times until I heard my spiritual father Oral
Roberts preach on it. Glory to God. And I'm about to tell you
what he said. But he's preaching that, and he is--our ministry
started in the Jubilee year. It began in sync with the Jewish
calendar for Jubilee. I didn't know that. I didn't know that
for years. And here we are in our Jubilee year, which is 50
years, and this is Israel's Jubilee. AUDIENCE: Whoo! Amen.
Hallelujah. KENNETH: Whoo! Glory to God. Now, that's
special--that's special for you partners because you're in that
Jubilee with us. (Applause) Oh, I tell you what, it's just
marvelous. Now, let's look at this, and I'll--I'll show you as
we go along. "There was delivered unto him the book of
the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found
the place where it was written--" He took the Scripture
and took His text. It's amazing to me how few people know and
understand Jesus is a preacher, called to preach. You see it
right here. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he hath
anointed me to preach--to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me--" So that makes Him an apostle, doesn't it? (Audience
Agrees) Ha-ha-ha. That's what the word "apostle" means. Well,
of course, He's an apostle. Hebrews, 3rd chapter, 1st verse,
"Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ
Jesus." "He sent me to heal the brokenhearted, he sent me to
preach deliverance to the captives, he sent me to preach
recovering of sight to the blind, he sent me to set at
liberty them that are bruised, he sent me to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord." The great Jubilee. Now,
here's--ha-ha-ha. Glory to God. I mean, the first time I
heard--the first time I heard Oral Roberts preach this, I
mean, phew. It just literally--well, it--it just
absolutely set me free, made me free. AUDIENCE: Hallelujah.
KENNETH: He said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; He's
anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. I'm here. I am the
Jubilee. I'm here. Poor man, you don't have to be poor anymore.
I'm here." AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. Amen. KENNETH: Whoa, my
goosebumps is double-parked. Whoa, ha-ha-ha, hallelujah.
Amen. "He sent me to heal the brokenhearted." "Brokenhearted
man, I'm here. I am the Jubilee. I am here, and you don't need
and you will not and you don't have to be brokenhearted
anymore." AUDIENCE: Amen. Hallelujah. KENNETH: Oh,
hallelujah. "To preach deliverance to the captive."
"Captive, bound up, broken, down under drugs, alcohol, or
whatever kind of bondage you're under, the bondage of worry--"
AUDIENCE: That's right. KENNETH: "--you don't need to be carrying
any kind of care. I'm here. I am your deliverer! I am the
Jubilee!" AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: Whoo! Doesn't that
thrill you? Ha-ha-ha. Glory to God. AUDIENCE: Thank You, Lord.
KENNETH: "Blind man, you don't have to be blind anymore!" Glory
to God. AUDIENCE: Whoo! KENNETH: "To set at liberty those that
are bruised." Do you realize it's with His bruises that we
are healed? (Audience Agrees) "I thought it was stripes, Brother
Copeland." I know. That's the way it was translated in the
English. Think, "Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows." Well now, those two words are also and
predominantly--now, don't throw away "grief" and "sorrow"
--predominantly translated "sickness" and "pain." So He--
"Surely He hath borne our griefs," our sickness, "our
sorrows," our pains: "we did esteem him stricken, and smitten
of God. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was--"
AUDIENCE: Bruised. KENNETH: "--bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him," same word; "with
those bruises we are healed." AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. KENNETH:
Same word, same Hebrew word in both cases. "With His stripes we
are healed." "Set at liberty them that are bruised--" oh, my,
my, my, my, glory to God, "--and to preach the acceptable year of
the Lord." AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. Amen. KENNETH: He is the great
Jubilee. (Audience "Amens") You've got Jubilee living on the
inside of you sweetheart. AUDIENCE: Amen. Whoo!
Hallelujah. KENNETH: Now, I'm--and I'm going to say
something to you here now. The curse is threefold; spiritual
death--that is to be separated from God because He is
life--spiritual death, sickness, and poverty. Now, if you go to
the 28th chapter of the Deuteronomy, beginning with the
15th verse, you will find the curse of the law. And if you
will search that carefully, you will see there that debt is
under the curse. So it's not just poverty, it's poverty and
debt. Very important. And "Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law--" AUDIENCE: Hallelujah. KENNETH:
"--being made a curse for us." AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: So
redemption is threefold. The curse is threefold: Spiritual
death, sickness, poverty and debt. The redemption is
threefold, our redemption: The new birth--amen; healing by His
stripes, His wounds, bruises--ha-ha-ha, hallelujah;
and divine Holy Ghost prosperity.
