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.

  • Extensive focus on: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Ps 22:1) and the details paralleling Jesus’ crucifixion.

  • “Bless the Lord, O my soul…forget not all his benefits…who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.”

6. The Permanence and Generational Reach of the Covenant

• [17:41-19:30] Discussion about God’s mercy (“chesed”) being from everlasting to everlasting, and the promise extending to children’s children.
  • Stress on the uniqueness of God’s covenant versus any human arrangement (“Your union doesn’t have these kind of benefits.”)
  • Angels are described as carrying out God’s Word, present in the room and surrounding every believer.
