Episode Overview

This episode explores the Christian believer’s place of victory, focusing on the biblical truth that through Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, believers are raised, seated, and reigning with Christ. Kenneth Copeland and his guest (designated “B” in the transcript) unpack the prophetic foreshadowing in the Psalms, the reality of the finished work of Christ, the believer’s covenant benefits, healing, and how faith connects Christians to these promises. The discussion is rooted in scripture, illustrated with personal stories, and intended to encourage listeners to walk in the fullness of their covenant with God.

Transcript

[A]

I move by what I feel. I don't live by what I see. Because my God has made a way for me. Hello, everybody. I'm Kenneth Copeland. This is Wednesday. Jesus went to the cross on a high Sabbath.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

He said, as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So it didn't start on Friday. So just do the math and figure it up. I mean, I have it here in my book, Three days and three nights. So everything is in the book. So now.

[B]

I want to look at.

[A]

In the book of Matthew, in the 27th chapter of the 46th verse. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? John 19. And where's I had it up. Wait a minute. Let me see here. In 1930. 1930, Jesus therefore received the vinegar. He said, it is finished. Well, it was finished. But let's go over to where it is written in the 22nd Psalm in the classic amplified to the chief musician, set to the tune of. And says the morning dawn Psalm of David. Now remember this shoal or hell in the bosom of Abraham. Jesus talked about the bosom of Abraham when the rich man died. That's exactly right. Lazarus and Lazarus. Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham. The rich man died and went to hell. And said, son, remember, this is part of hell. You can't forget. You can't forget. You can't forget. You can't forget. You can't forget it. You can't. It. You can't. If you. If. And one of the problems is people say, oh, but God never forgets. Yes, he does. He is the only one that can supernaturally forget. But it takes a blood covenant to do it.

[B]

Oh, that's good.

[A]

Because our sins are washed in his blood.

[B]

That's good. Which points all the way back to Egypt. When I see the blood, I'll pass over.

[A]

It's over. Amen.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

Thank you, Jesus. But it's all in here. This is a psalm of David. Now get this. He's in the bosom of Abraham, looking down in there. 22nd Psalm. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me? And from the words of my groaning, O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you answer not. And by night I'm not silent or find no rest. But you are holy. Oh, you who dwell in the holy Place where the praises of Israel are offered. Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, leaned on, relied on and were confident, and you delivered them. They cried to you and were diligent and were delivered. They trusted in, leaned on and confidently relied on you. And were not ashamed or confounded or disappointed. I'm a worm. I'm no man. I'm the scorn of men despised by the people. All who see me laugh at me and mock me. And they shoot out the lip, they shake the heads, saying, he trusted and rolled himself on the Lord, that he would deliver him, let him deliver him. They did that? They actually said those things?

[B]

Yes, they did.

[A]

Centuries later, in fact, the scripture references are here where they did. Yet you are he who took me out of the womb. You made me hope and trust when I was on my mother's breast. I was cast upon you from my very birth. My mother's womb. You have seen my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there's no one to help. My many foes, like bulls, have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Basham have hedged me in. Well, that's exec of 39, 18. That's exactly right. Against me they have opened their mouths wide like a ravening and roaring lion. I'm poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint, not broken. Because it's prophesied that none of his bones would be broken. But he's all out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is softened with an anguish and melted down within me. My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery. With thirst my tongue clings to my jaws. You have brought me into the dust of death. For like a pack of dogs, they have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have circled me, encircled me. They pierced my hands and my feet. It had to be written before it could happen. There was a process that had to take place. God designed it for you and me. You have any foot problem today? You got a problem with your hands or your feet or your back, your joints, your bones, ligaments?

[B]

Curse is reversed. That curse is reversed.

[A]

Yeah. There's your healing right there in hell itself. Let's see.

[B]

They part my garments. Verse 18.

[A]

Where am I? They part my clothing among them and cast lots for my raiment. A long shirt like garment, a seamless under tunic. That's what we were talking about last week. But not far from me. O be not far from me. O Lord. O my help. Hasten and aid me. Deliver my life from the sword. My dear life, my only one from the power of the dog, the agent of execution. Save me from the lion's mouth, for you have answered me kindly. From the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare your name to my brethren in the midst of the congregation. I will praise you.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

And they're watching this thing from the bosom of Abraham. He's preaching to them.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

You who fear, revere and worship the Lord. Praise him, all you offspring of Jacob. Glorify him. Fear and revere and worship him, all of you offspring of Israel. For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him. But when he cried to him, he heard, my praise shall be of you in the great congregation. I will pay to him my vows made in the time of trouble. Before them who fear, revere and worship him. The poor and afflicted shall eat and be satisfied. Look what he fixed right there. Your poverty went to hell. You just need to believe. For the blessing of Abraham. And they who diligently seek for and inquire of for him, and require him as their greatest need. May your hearts be quickened now and forever. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the families of nations shall bow down and worship before you. For the kingship in the kingdoms of the Lord. And he is the ruler over the nations. All the mighty ones upon earth shall eat in thanksgiving and worship. All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him. Even he who cannot keep himself alive. Posterity shall serve him. They shall tell of the Lord to the next generation. They shall come up. And they shall come up. They shall come up. They shall come up and shall declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born. That he has done it. That it is finished. It is finished.

[B]

It is finished.

[A]

What was finished?

[B]

The separation.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

The covenant is fulfilled.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[B]

And it's fulfilled by the blood of this one man. If you follow this out, see progressively. And it's not. They've perverted that word. Each revelation, each generation begins to see more and more. If you look at. That's Psalm 22. That's crucifixion. Psalm 23.

[A]

Is.

[B]

Is him in the grave. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, lie me down in green pastures. This is when he's in the grave. Psalm 24 is when he comes out of the grave. It's all prophesied. Let me read you Psalm 24. 7. Lift up. You heads, O you gates and be. Lift up you everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in. That's his resurrection.

[A]

Yeah. And one of our. Let's see, is one of my niece, one of my nephews said, and the King of Gloria shall come in. Where's the King of Gloria? What does Aunt Gloria have the King of Gloria? I said, well, he's her king.

[B]

You see, Brother Copeland, everything's changed now since that.

[A]

Yes, you were crucial.

[B]

You need to understand this. Paul will teach it. You were crucified with him. Yes, you were, because he's your representative. I used to think it was the most unfair thing in all the world, that God allowed the whole world to get messed up because one guy sinned.

[A]

Punish Adam.

[B]

Don't punish all of us. I mean, that's really the way I believe. It didn't seem fair, but in reality, it was brilliant. Yes, because if one man can get us in it, then one man will get us out of it. And it's a brilliant plan. Lucifer never saw it coming. And so this one man is what this thing's all been about. And here he is. So I was crucified with him, I was buried with him, I rose with him. Now I'm seated with him and I reign with him. We've got too many believers trying to be seated and reign and not fully understanding all of this yet. That's what this covenant is all about, is us getting into that place. And now healing is readily available.

[A]

There had to be a way, since God is a faith God. There had to be a covenant established. Everything had to be recorded over the ages. All of it had to be recorded so you and I would have it. And there's some guy said something about a footnote, that this wasn't in there. And I said, well, you're too late. You know, I prayed for that fella. I didn't know the footnote was there. And the Lord healed him whether the footnote was there or not.

[B]

Well, let me show you why. Psalm 103.

[A]

I'm there. You're already there.

[B]

Yes. Here it is. Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. That's verse one. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. That's the covenant. I have covenant benefits. Who forgiveth all thy iniquities? Who healeth all thy diseases? That's my benefit package to my covenant that Jesus did in his blood. You can't take away my benefits. That's right, your footnote. Your Hand note, your back note. I don't care what note you use. This is my benefit package to my family.

[A]

Hang on, let's see. Which. What is it? The 69th, I think. Psalm no. 68. Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits.

[B]

There it is.

[A]

So forget not my benefits. Your union doesn't have these kind of benefits. That whole hundred and third Psalm and I've just marked it up all over the place that. And I've used it. I was. My mother was. She was right there getting really close and she was in the hospital and I was sitting up with her. My Bible was in my. And I was just sitting there praying in the spirit quietly. I didn't want to disturb her. And I heard it in my spirit. She doesn't need healing. I said, well, you could have fooled me. No. He said, did you notice how quickly she was healed of the bruises from the IVs and stuff in the back of her hands? It just went away when you prayed. I said, oh Lord, forgive me. He said, did you notice when they said she had some pneumonia and you prayed and it just went away? I said, Lord, I said, well, what's the matter with her? Then? He said, she's worn out. Her body is worn out. But he said, don't you remember? In my word I said I would renew her youth like the eagles. My Bible was right there. Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, healeth all thy diseases, redeems your life from destruction and crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, satisfies your mouth of good things so that you not five verses in, I say, can I pray that for her now? He said, all things are possible to the one that believes. They were talking about her dying in a few days. And I just stood up and got over there. She was still asleep. And I just got over there and just prayed that over her. And she lived two more years. And so I said, lord, I think I'm going to pray that over myself all the time. He said, I think it's a good idea. So I marked it up and it's one of the prayers we pray for our partner. Well, and then as far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

Yee haw. Like as a father cares for his children, so the Lord cares for them that fear him. For he Knows our frame. He remembers that we're dust. As for man, his days are as grass and a flower of the field. So he flourishes. And I wrote in there only 120 years. For the wind passes over it and has gone, and the places thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy the chesed of God is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him and his righteousness. Unto the children's children, I wrote in here. Can your union offer this? Are you listening really good. To such as keep his covenant and remember those that remember his commandments to do them. Their covenant is stuck in there all over. Wait a minute, wait, hang on. He hath prepared his throne in the heavens and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, you his angels that excel in strength that to do his commandments. Hearkening unto the voice of his word. The angels are hearkening unto the voice of his word right now, while we speak. This little room is full of angels.

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

And all of you are out there surrounded around with angels. Bless ye the Lord, O his host, his ministers of his that do his pleasures. That's talking about the angels. Bless the Lord. All his works in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

[B]

Yes, sir. He knows our frame because he's the one that formed it and the one that picked it up and breathed into it. Yeah, see, he's putting himself back in remembrance, all the way back to that first covenant.

[A]

Oh, that's where it started.

[B]

This is a covenant of faith. The law, as good as it was, is not a covenant of faith. It's only obedience. Didn't have to have any faith. Abraham's covenant is faith. Jesus is faith. And the covenant and the new covenant that we have now is faith. And the reason why many God's people have forgotten we have a covenant of healing is the reason is this is because they have valued experiences more than they have valued the word.

[A]

Now I want to read something here because I can add a little bit something to it now that I couldn't. The great hall of fame of faith in the 11th chapter of the book of Hebrews. Here again it's explained in detail in the classic Amplified. Now faith is the assurance, the confirmation, the title deed of the things we hope for being the proof of things we do not see. Conviction of their reality. Faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses. For by faith, trust and holy fervor born of faith, the men of old had divine testimony born of them and obtained A good report. By faith we understand. The worlds during successive ages were framed, fashioned, put in order and equipped for their intended purpose. By the word of God that started in Genesis. Light be, he said. And the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the deep. Because the Spirit of God is the agent. Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven. But without faith, it's impossible to please and satisfactory to him. For whoever would come near to God must necessarily believe that God exists, that he is the rewarder of those that earnestly and diligently seek him out. Now, and he goes to Noah and Abraham. It just keeps on. Sarah, she. She judged him faithful, right? The promise. So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, they gave strong descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and countless as an innumerable sands of the seashore. And they're still being born right there, right now, in a nation called Israel.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

Glory to God. So then. And you just keep on. I mean these gigantic heroes of faith and. Come on. There you go. Verse 40. Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us. So that they, those heroes and herons of faith should not come to. Now listen. The heroes and the heroines of faith. Now you get that in the classic amplified. That's a massive statement. Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the truth. Now you see who. Who must qualify. Now people go to heaven is one thing, but you have to be a. You have to faith qualify to be the cloud of witnesses because they're. They're in there help you. And we're in out of time. I'll tell you tomorrow. Okay. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.
