I move by what I feel. I don't live by what I see. Because my God has made a way for me. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We just praise you. And thank you, Father, Holy Spirit, we humble ourselves before you again today. And thank you that you've taken me in directions that I didn't plan to do. And I praise you for that because you always do that. In Jesus name, Amen. Now I'm going to open the Book of Job. You don't need to do that. There is a statement here that I want to read the Book of Job. There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And that was a perfect or blameless and upright one that feared God and chewed evil. There were born unto him sons and daughters. Now here's what I want you to get. His substance also was 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 she asses. A very great household. In other words, they had a big house. So that this man was the greatest of all men in the east. Listen to that. 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels. At the end of it, it said, and God doubled him. I've heard people say poor is Job's turkey. Well, he wasn't poor. And if he had turkeys, he had more than anybody. I wanted you to see that because in the book. So is it God's will? Yes, it is. To have more than enough. And the devil sold this lie to people that preachers ought to be poor. And church members have said, you keep him humble, we'll keep him poor. Believed that. I'm thinking of one white one. I don't mind telling you who it was. David Crank Sr. David Crank Jr. On a victory channel. He and Nicole, his dad had been taught that. But then he began to listen to me on. I think it goes back to radio days. Well, I know he did. He lived below the poverty level. And David Jr. Said we were eating imaginary. What? Imaginary something. He said, well, why don't we eat imaginary steaks? The last partner check he sent, he started in at a dollar a day. And he said, no, no, no, no, no. The Lord said, a dollar a day, you get a dollar somewhere. And David told me, he said we were out looking for bottles and stuff. You know what his last partner check was? $14,000. He was a Job man. Job said, the thing which I so greatly feared has come upon me. Now, let's go back where we were. And let's go back to the Book of James, where we were last week. Because this goes Right into this again. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Now you know who James was, right? He's Jesus. Half brother. They thought he was crazy and he was writing this to the other Jews. But here we are. James, chapter 11 7. James, a servant of God and the Lord Jesus christ of the 12 tribes which are scattered abroad. Greeting, my brethren. Count it all joy when you fall into different temptations, tests and trials, knowing this, that the trying of your faith works. Patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be mature and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, for it shall be given him. Let him ask in faith. So remember what we said. Faith is the catalyst. Have any of you ever used any catalyst, like an adhesive? I have. That stuff is strong, comes in two little tubes. You don't want to get these things mixed up till it's time. And then when it's time, I'm telling you, you better hustle. And you lay out this because I misused it a time or two. Pour this. It doesn't do anything. Pour this. It doesn't do anything. Put them together. And then they begin to get hot. They began to get. I'm telling you, you better get the material together and get it. And hold it. And then let me see you pull it apart. So that's faith. Now we read that. Now go to chapter five, 11, 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering, affliction and patience. Now, patience is not. Oh, I got to put up with this. No, no, check it out. It is endurance. Part of the fruit of the Spirit. It is endurance. Now listen. Behold, we count them happy that endure. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord in that the Lord was pitiful and tender. Mercy and above all things, my brethren. You see where he referred to Job? Above all things, my brethren, swear not. Neither by heaven, neither by the earth. Now, chapter five. Okay, 11. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church. Let him pray over him, Anointing him with oil. In the name of the Lord. Name of the Lord. Well, he just started out over here explaining who the Lord is, and I'll give him a testimony. The prayer of faith shall save the sick or heal the sick. And the Lord shall raise him up. And if you've committed sin, they shall be confessed. Forgiven him. Confess your faults, one another. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on. Oh, there. Okay. The effectual. Thank you, Jesus. You can tell that the Lord just dumped this on me last night late. I just really didn't have time to get it all together, Bob either. And that was. Oh, I'm looking at the wrong person. The prayer of faith shall save the sick. And that is 5 15. Confess your sins one to another and pray for another that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Classic, amplified. The prayer that is of faith will save him who is sick and the Lord will restore him. And if he have committed sin, they will be forgiven him. Confess to one another therefore, your faults, your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your. And pray also for one another that you may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and alert. The earnest, heartfelt continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working. My testimony now, right here, you can't see it from where you are. There was a little spot there about the size of a grain of rice. I looked at that thing. Huh, wonder what that is. And I went back and looked at broadcast before. And then I saw it. We were at the prayer cabin. Well, so I was talking to Dr. Weider and he said, we need to get that thing checked. So went over to Dr. Williams and he's a black man and his had one of those voices. Is kind of delicious, you know. Yeah, fine looking man. I shook hands with him. I said, I'm Kenneth Copeland. He said, brother Copeland, I know who you are. He said, my mom and dad have been partners of your ministry for years. Ooh, we picked the right man. So he looked at that and he said, yeah, Brother Copeland, he said, I think I know what that is, but I want to send you over to a colleague of mine and let him check. Boy, just isn't it. And a colleague looked at it and he said, well, Mr. Copeland, take the ECI. It's malignant. Well, so what? It absolutely had no effect or fear me. It's malignant. So he said, come back at this certain day. Now in the meantime, I called Pastor George, Terry and B.B. john and Kelly were on the phone. He came to my kitchen, I showed it to him and he. And so we turned here. So he had his oil bottle and he would read all of these and touch that. And it was just, I'm telling you, class it felt like he just suddenly touched my hand with an electrical shock. And that's what I did. I said, that did it. So we went back where we were supposed to go. Mr. Copeland, wait here and maybe 30 minutes to. Oh, who knows, an hour. Because the doctor's going to go in there and he's going to save down until he finds no more money. So sat there for a few minutes. She came back out. She said, Mr. Copeland, you're very lucky. I said, no, I'm blessed. She said, doctor found no more malignant cells. Sewed it up. Now I know where it is. And I can see the little scar right here. Jesus, my testimony, it'll work anywhere. Cause it's in the book. So how much time do I have, Tim? Ten minutes, sir. Ten minutes. Okay, good. Now, look, in the fourth chapter, from whence come wars and fightings among you. They not hence event your lust the that war in your members. You lust and have nots, you kill and desire to have and cannot obtain. And now I want to come over here and I want to go to. Go back to the second chapter of James. My brethren have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory and in respect of persons. Now here's where I'm going. Verse 12. No, excuse me, back up. Verse 25. Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty continues therein. He being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work. This man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among seem religious and bridle not the tongue strife. Anyway, now here's where I want to go. Verse 14. What doth it profit my brethren? Though a man say he hath faith and have not works, can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of the daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace. Be ye warmed and filled, notwithstanding you give those things which are needful. What doth it profit? Even so, faith, if it hath not worked, let's stop right there. Francis Weymouth. Even so, if faith, if it hath not corresponding action. Don't you like that it has corresponding action, it being dead, being alone. Class, you understand that corresponding action. Now we go back to what we talked about last week. The joy of the Lord. You remember what we said? Faith prepares before it goes, so apply that Jesus knew what he was going to. They did found him clothed and in his right mind. So what was that Jesus corresponding action. And told Judas, go get this man some clothes. Remember that phrase, corresponding action. It's right here in the book of James. If you just spot it and 21. Be a part all filthiness, superfluity of naughtiness and receive meekness in the engrafted word which is able to save your souls. Now what does that say? It's able to save your mind, your will and your emotions and so many. Myself also. Well, as you know, just keep them from going to hell. No, no, no, no, no. The mind, the will and the emotion. Thessalonians, the apostle Paul pointed it out. Now I'm going to suggest to you again to get the blb, the blue letter Bible. And you can choose different translations in there. Oh, I use mine and so I support them financially. You see what the Hebrew meant and said. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. So four minutes now. Correction, direction, protection, perfection. Correction and direction. Now that immediately says something to me. As a pilot. You have surface winds, altitude winds, jet stream winds. And now I'm talking about back before satellites. It's simple now, thanks to Thomas McGee, Clyde McGee. He and his wife, he was called Mr. Satellite, born again, tongue talking Pentecostal Christian called Mr. Satellite because he synced that first one with the earth 24,000 miles away. You like the satellite in your car? Well, next time you do it, it says thank you, Thomas. So. But I'm flying in this direction and I know, I know exactly where I'm going. I've exactly planned my flight plan. I'll just close this right here and I just stay on it. But I got a crosswind and I don't recognize it. Didn't plan for it, but I got my heading right. What's the matter here? What is the matter here? What? Let me tell you a true story because I was part of it. That's when I was working for Beechcraft. There in here's a man and his wife in the front seat and they're good friends in the back. And now of course a bonanza won't fly that hair high, but this is an absolute not paying any attention to what he was doing. He was talking to the people in the backseat. He's not a pro. Good pilot, but he's not a pro. His winner. And he turned around and looked and there's a little red light blinking here. Battery power wasn't paying any attention to what he was doing. I've only got about and he didn't even know where his check lick was. So I don't know how far I've drifted. See, he drifted. There was a crosswind. He didn't know It. So he wasn't making any corrections. And so he just said, well, we need to get out from here. It's wintertime. And he advised, now, I was part of this, and I'll tell you how much time. Good. So he started letting down. He came between layers and he said, oh, God. Oh, God. And he came to, oh, oh, good, he's in between layers. What he didn't know, he had drifted over into the mountains. And what he thought was between layers, that airplane hit the trees, clipped a wingtip and swung it around backwards. And all four of them slid down the side of that mountain and that beach bonanza sliding down there. And when it finally stopped, can you see it didn't kill anybody. But I flew an F model bonanza there to meet him, to replace it. No correction. And he just fat, dumb and happy and sitting there and they visiting, you know, and visiting. And looked like there was a red light blinking. He should have been up here like this and let them talk. And we're out of time. But there was no correction. He didn't have any idea where he was. That'll kill you. It's a miracle of God. It didn't kill all four. We'll be back in just a moment.

Host: Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Air Date: September 4, 2025
The central theme of this episode is how believers can overcome fear and destruction through faith, drawing on biblical teachings, personal testimonies, and practical applications. Kenneth Copeland explores scripture—especially the books of Job and James—to illustrate the power of faith, patience (endurance), corresponding action, and the importance of living above fear. Through anecdotes, analogies, and direct scripture examination, he urges listeners to embrace correction and direction from God and to live boldly, rejecting the myth that Christians are supposed to be poor or afraid.
Scriptural Reference: The story of Job and his material blessings ([00:02])
Myth-Busting: Copeland addresses the belief that preachers and Christians ought to be poor. He recalls the phrase – “You keep him humble, we’ll keep him poor,” and discusses how this contradicts biblical teaching.
Scriptural Focus: Book of James
Patience and Endurance: Patience is not simply “putting up with things.” Instead, it’s a form of endurance and a fruit of the Spirit ([09:20]).
Book of James on Prayer: The prayer of faith heals and restores ([10:30]).
Personal Healing Testimony:
