NO MORE LIMITS DAY 1 Step Up Your Faith A. Isaiah 54:2-3 It s Time to Step Up Our Faith 1. Verses 2-3: Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 2. The Lord has challenged us to come up to the next level of prosperity. 3. We have some big faith projects before us: a. KCM Citation X+, Every Available Voice b. EMIC Move of God, Student Life Center, TV, Daily Healing Services, Equipment, Renovations, 10,000-Seat Facility to a 50,000-Seat Facility c. [David Oyedepo s church in Lagos] is running 200,000 on Sunday morning. They have four services in a building that seats 54,000. I m going to get me one of them. I m not just talking. I ve got my faith on the line, glory be to God. EMIC is headed toward a 50,000-seat auditorium with a 100,000-member congregation and we will have it very soon. And one of the reasons why is Philippians 4:19 BUT MY GOD! Kenneth Copeland 4. The only limitation is our capacity to believe and receive. 5. There is a way to enlarge our capacity for greater prosperity. a. Any one department at KCM has the faith potential to believe God for the entire year s budget. Kenneth Copeland b. The supernatural is no longer an option. It is going to be a requirement. Bill Winston 5

B. 1 Thessalonians 3:10 Paul s Faith Challenge 1. Verse 10 (AMPC): [And we] continue to pray especially and with most intense earnestness night and day that we may see you face to face and mend and make good whatever may be imperfect and lacking in your faith. 2. NLT: Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith. 3. They were limited in their faith and needed to come up to the next level. 4. Paul knew exactly what to do to break through their limitations. 5. He had a strategic plan to help them enlarge their faith capacity. C. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 They Stepped Up Their Faith 1. Verse 3: We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth. a. ESV: Your faith is growing abundantly. b. NIV: Your faith is growing more and more. c. MSG: Your faith is growing phenomenally. d. NLT: Your faith is flourishing. 2. It only took two months for their faith capacity to go to a new level. 3. It took spiritual training and exercise. 4. Through strategic training, our faith capacity can enlarge. 5. It is time for us to break through the poverty, lack, limited chokehold and move on up to a new level of faith. D. From The Laws of Prosperity by Kenneth Copeland 1. God has a highly organized system to meet the needs of every facet of your life. The world s system of meeting our needs works exactly opposite from God s system. 2. God s system is totally adequate. 3. The world s idea of anything is very limited at best and stands a 99.9 percent chance of being totally wrong. As believers, we must be careful not to limit God in our individual lives to what the world says is so. 4. He is not limited to your job unless you limit Him to it. 5. Remember not to limit God to only what you can see and understand with your head. When the entire world is completely destitute, God will still have plenty and can make it abound toward you. As He is, so are we in this world. So don t be afraid to become a cheerful, freehearted giver. YOU JUST CAN T CUT GOD BACK! GLORIA COPELAND 6

Verses 2-3: Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 2. The Lord has blessed us with some big faith projects. 3. The only thing that would limit us would be a lack of faith. 4. Paul challenged the Thessalonians to grow in faith. a. They made great progress in just two months. b. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 (MSG): Your faith is growing phenomenally. 5. Through strategic training, we can break through the limits and enlarge our faith capacity for greater prosperity. B. Numbers 13 The Ten Spies Limited God 1. Verses 1-3 Men were sent to search the land of Canaan. 2. Verses 25-28 It was a good land, BUT 3. Verses 30-31 Caleb was ready to take the land. 4. Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 5. Psalm 78:41 They turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 9

C. Numbers 14:22-24 Caleb Had a Spirit of Faith 1. Verses 7-11 The Limiters wanted to stone him. 2. What set Caleb apart? a. Why was it easier for Caleb to see himself taking the land? b. Why does it seem easier for one person to believe and receive than another? 3. Verse 24: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. a. He had cultivated a spirit of faith. b. He believed God and was ready to possess the land even before he went out to spy the land. 4. 2 Corinthians 4:13: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. 5. Caleb removed the limits and enlarged his faith capacity to take what God had already promised. a. We must remove the limits and enlarge our faith capacity to take what God has already promised. b. Tomorrow we will begin to learn how to enlarge our capacity to believe and receive. WHAT GOD HAS TOLD YOU TO DO DETERMINES YOUR CAPACITY. HE BACKS UP WHAT HE TELLS YOU! GLORIA COPELAND 10

NO MORE LIMITS DAY 3 Total Immersion Part 1 A. Isaiah 54:2-3 We Can Enlarge Our Capacity to Receive 1. Verses 2-3: Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 2. God loves to communicate His absolute, limitless goodness to all. The only thing that limits Him from imparting His goodness to any human being is that person s capacity to receive. Billye Brim quoting David Baron 3. We have a greater faith capacity that has remained untouched, underutilized and underdeveloped. 4. Spiritually, there are no limits to what we can do or have. 5. How do we break through the limits and enlarge our faith capacity? B. Proverbs 4:20-22 The Biblical Principle of Total Immersion 1. Verses 20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 2. With all of our new faith projects, I realized that I needed to step up my faith. a. There were some chokeholds that needed to be broken. b. There were some limitations that had to be conquered. 3. I began to meditate on what I needed to do to enlarge my capacity to receive all we are standing for. 13

4. The Lord took me back to the basics that Kenneth and Gloria taught me over the past 40 years concerning the development of my faith. 5. The Lord told me to implement a total immersion program that would help me break through limitations and enlarge my capacity to receive. C. Romans 12:1-3 The Renewing of Your Mind For The WORD to produce results in your life, you must give it your attention by spending time studying it and meditating on it. How much attention do I have to give it, Brother Copeland? That depends on the kind of results you want. Ten percent WORD will produce 10 percent results. Fifty percent WORD will give you 50 percent results. One hundred percent WORD will give you 100 percent results. When I first began learning about faith as a student at Oral Roberts University, I needed major results fast, so I jumped in at the 100 percent level. I used a technique I d read about that the U.S. government used to train translators during World War II called total immersion. At the beginning of the war, there wasn t time for translators to become fluent at the normal rate. To speed up the process, they were surrounded 100 percent with the language they were learning. Research proved if they didn t hear or speak anything but that language, it literally made new grooves in their brains and they became fluent in six weeks or less. While I was thinking about that, The LORD spoke to me. He said, Son, if you ll do that if you ll totally immerse yourself in The WORD and give yourself to it for just a period of a week, it will change your entire future. It will change the direction of your life. Your faith will rise to a new level and will never go back. I decided to put it to the test. I got my Bible, a notebook and the few tapes on faith I had by Kenneth E. Hagin and set up a study hall for myself in our little garage. I told Gloria, When you call me for a meal, if I m not there in five minutes, you and the kids go ahead and eat. I m going to feed on The WORD. I locked myself in there for seven days. The only time I came inside was to eat every once in a while and to go to sleep at night. When I did come in, the only thing Gloria and I talked about was faith and The WORD. We didn t discuss anything else the whole time. When I was out there listening to a tape and Kenneth Hagin referred to a scripture, I d stop the tape and read the whole book that contained the verse. Then, I d turn the tape player back on and start listening again. By the end of that seven-day period, exactly what The LORD had said came to pass. The WORD became the solid foundation of my life. In one week, The WORD changed my thinking. It revolutionized the way I saw things. I still didn t know much, but what I did know was embedded so deeply that you couldn t beat it out of me with a bat. From that time, faith became my way of life. I didn t live by faith just now and then when I found myself in a crunch. I did it every day. From THE BLESSING of The LORD Makes Rich and He Adds No Sorrow With It by Kenneth Copeland DON T MEDITATE ON THE NEED. MEDITATE ON THE WORD FOR THE THINGS YOU NEED TO RECEIVE! GLORIA COPELAND 14

NO MORE LIMITS DAY 4 Total Immersion Part 2 A. James 1:5-8 Become Single-Minded on the Word 1. How do we remove the limits and enlarge our faith capacity to receive from God? 2. We must apply the biblical principle of total immersion. 3. Verses 5-8: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 4. A person who stays single-minded on the Word will enlarge his capacity to receive from the Lord. 5. Numbers 14:24: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. B. Joshua 14 Caleb Stayed Single-Minded on the Word for 45 Years 1. Verses 7-8 (NKJV): I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. 2. Verses 10-11 (NKJV): And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong 17

this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 3. Verse 12 (NKJV): Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said. 4. Verse 14 (NKJV): Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. 5. Galatians 6:9 (AMPC): And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint. C. Proverbs 4:20-21 We Must Stay Single-Minded on the Word 1. Proverbs 4:20-21 (AMPC): My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. 2. Verses 25-27 (AMPC): Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you. Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil. a. Verse 27 (MSG): Ignore all sideshow distractions. b. Verse 27 (NLT): Don t get sidetracked. 3. Proverbs 17:24 (AMPC): A man of understanding sets skillful and godly Wisdom before his face. 4. Romans 4:19-21 (AMPC): He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah s [deadened] womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised. a. Abraham broke through the limitations by staying focused on the Word from God. b. As a result, he became strong in faith. 5. The more focused you are on the Word, the more your capacity to receive will enlarge. THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU, AS LONG AS YOU RE WITH HIM! GLORIA COPELAND 18

NO MORE LIMITS DAY 5 Total Immersion Part 3 A. Proverbs 4:20-22 The Principle of Total Immersion 1. How do we break through a poverty, lack, limited, chokehold mentality? 2. How do we enlarge our faith capacity to believe for greater results? 3. Verses 20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 4. For the most effective results, it will take becoming totally immersed in God s Word. 5. Total immersion requires undivided focus and attention to God s Word. B.

We totally immersed ourselves in scriptures that removed the limits on God (see How to Develop Your Faith for Debt-Free Living on page 27). a. Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? NO! b. Numbers 11:23 (AMPC) Has the Lord s hand, ability and power become short, thwarted and inadequate? NO! c. Matthew 19:26 With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible. 4.

NO MORE LIMITS How to Develop Your Faith for Debt-Free Living A. Brother Copeland asked, You ve heard me preach living debt free for as long as you ve been around me. Why then, did you borrow the money to get your new house? 1. Your faith was not strong enough or big enough to receive a debt-free house. 2. Your faith level was not up to where you could receive a debt-free house. 3. You had enough faith developed to give a house, debt free. But your faith was not developed enough at the time to receive a debt-free house. It takes time to develop your faith. You don t just jump off into this kind of thing. 4. How do we strengthen our faith, get it big enough, up enough and developed enough to receive? 5. Mark 9:23-24: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 6. 1 John 5:4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. B. Romans 10:17 I Had to Go Immediately to the Word 1. You must increase in the revelation and in God s Word in your mouth until it overwhelms what you are presently seeing. 2. God s Word must be at the base and foundation of your commitment and that commitment to getting out of debt and staying out of debt must grow. 3. September 12, 1998 Began writing Debt-Free Living Debt-Free Living. 4. What does God s Word have to say about my debt freedom? a. Romans 13:8: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. i. Romans 13:8 (AMPC): Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor (who practices loving others) has fulfilled the Law (relating to one s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements). b. Proverbs 22:6-7: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 27

c. Deuteronomy 28:12: Thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. d. Deuteronomy 15:6: For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 5. Romans 4:21: And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. C. I Had to Then Enlarge My Inner Perception of the Largeness of God s Ability to Do This in My Life to Break Through My Limitations. 1. My people call Me King but they don t see Me as King-sized. 2. I had to locate scriptures that would remove the limitations I had on God and on my believing the help I needed for my unbelief. 3. Psalm 119:32: I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 4. Genesis 18:14: Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. a. Nothing is too hard for my God. 5. Numbers 11:23: And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. a. God, Your hand is not short. b. God, Your Word will come to pass. 6. Psalm 78:41: Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. a. God, I m not turning back. b. God, I m not tempting You. c. God, I m not going to limit You. 7. Isaiah 59:1: Behold, the Lord s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. a. God, Your hand is not shortened. 8. Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. a. God, my debt freedom is possible with You. 9. Mark 9:23: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. a. God, I believe that my debt freedom is possible with You. 10. Ephesians 3:20 (AMPC): Now to Him Who, by [in consequence of ] the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super abundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]. a. God, You are able to do superabundantly, far over and above all I can ask or think. b. God, You go infinitely beyond my highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams. 28

D. Word From the Lord Stretch Your Vision for Debt Freedom I am demanding you to break out of the religious, restricted, poverty, inferior, mediocre, below standard, cut back, barely get by, small-minded, cheapskate mentality, limited box you have been in concerning what I want to do in you, for you and through you. You have been restrained by three things: Your lack of trust in My Word. Negative events that have piled up over the past years designed by Satan to erode away at your hope and zeal and cause you to give up. Fear of failure, fear of not making it, fear of stepping out in faith. It is a new day a new time a new hour. I am now commanding you to reach out further with your faith more than you ever have before. Stretch. Stretch. Stretch forth and see it with your faith. That is the key the ability to see. Only through the eye of faith will you be able to see the exceeding, super abundant, above all you could ask or think. Call for it. Call for what you see with the eye of faith. Exceeding provision beyond comprehension awaits My Body. But, you must come up over your limitations into a realm yet untapped. Aim your faith higher. Call for the harvest. Raise the standard. Set a new mark. Lift up your eyes and look! 29

We must feed on the Word, meditate on the Word, be a doer of the Word, and believe the Word. B. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. 1. Faith for greater prosperity comes by daily feeding on God s Word. 2. God s Word paints the inner image of how He wants us to live and what He wants us to have. 3. Whatever we keep before our eyes and take into our spirit is what we will eventually possess. 4. The more of God s Word we ingest, the more we are able to break through the limitations and step over into a greater capacity to receive all that God desires us to have. 5.

And he leaped and walked. 2. The more Word he heard, the more his inner image changed. 3. Limitations were being dissolved as his capacity for faith enlarged. 4. We can get the same results from feeding on the Word of prosperity. a. The limited, lack, poverty mentality will dissolve. b. The inner image of our prosperity will grow. c. Our faith capacity to receive all that God has for us will enlarge exponentially. 5.

D. From The Laws of Prosperity by Kenneth Copeland 1. Your faith is in direct relation to the level of the Word in you. Get your Word level up so that you can believe spiritually, mentally, physically, financially and socially. Thus you will be in the position to handle any problem that comes your way according to the Word of God. 2. The deeper you get into the Word and the more you learn, the more you will expand; the more you expand, the more satan will fight; the more he fights, the bigger your victory; the bigger your victory, the more glory to God; the more glory to God, the more you will expand! It is constant growth! 3. The first and most important rule for you to follow in operating in the power of God and living by faith is this: 100 percent committal to the Word of God and its authority in your life. As God told Joshua, the best way to prosper is by meditation in the Word. 34

MEDITATE IN GOD S WORD FROM GOD S WILL IS PROSPERITY BY GLORIA COPELAND ou put God s Word in your heart by meditation in His Word. You do not change believing in your heart by just wanting to change it. You only change how you believe by the Word of God. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). The only way faith comes into the heart is by hearing the Word, and the only way faith can be developed is through the Word. There is no shortcut. Meditation in God s Word is a necessity in God s success formula. Keep His Word before you and meditate: Dwell upon the Word in thought life day and night. Meditation is more than just reading. Meditation is fixing your mind on the Word so that you do all that is written therein. You will gain revelation and insight into the Word that you never could gain by only reading. In meditating in the Word you are applying that Word to yourself personally. You are allowing the Holy Spirit to make God s Word a reality in your heart. You are carefully pondering how this Word applies to your life. You are dwelling on how this Word from the Lord changes your situation. Or perhaps you simply receive the quiet revelation of that means me! You are placing yourself in agreement with what God says about you. You are seeing yourself as He sees you! As long as God s Word is just a Book even a Holy Book you will not act on it. Until the Bible becomes God dealing with you, it will not be active and powerful in your life. Through meditation the integrity of God s Word becomes a reality to you. As the truth is revealed in your spirit, you will begin to do all that is written in it. Doing God s Word is the end result of keeping God s words in your mouth and meditating on His Word. Only acting on God s Word guarantees success. One of the greatest enemies of faith is mental assent. Mental assent agrees that the Word is true. Mental assent sounds good but enjoys no results because it only agrees that the Word is true mental assent does not act on the Word. Mental assent says, I believe the Bible is true from Genesis to Revelation. But when it comes time to apply that Word personally, mental assent then says, I know the Bible says that by His stripes I am healed, but I feel sick, so I must be sick. Mental assent does not act from faith in the Word but acts on what it sees and feels. People who just agree that the Word is true do not walk by faith but by sight. Beware of the trap of mental assent. It is subtle because it sounds good. A great deal of time mental assent can be tagged by the words but and if. These two little words will rob you of your confession of faith. Replace confessions of doubt with the Word of God. 39

B. God s Great Storehouse Word From the Lord Through Kenneth Copeland, November 10, 2011 1. I have a great storehouse. Much more has been stored up in the storehouse of riches beyond your wildest dream that I laid up for you before the foundation of the world. 2. Much more is stored up there than what the Church has ever called for. 3. I never have held back on the Church, saith The LORD God of plenty. I ve made it available to you. I put it in My WORD. I gave you a promise and stood behind it with the blood the precious blood of your Savior. 4. But there has been a backwardness in My people about laying hold of the things that I have provided for you. 5. But I will say this: There is a people in the land. There is a people around the world. There is a people strong and mighty, growing much stronger and much mightier and more bold to lay hold and put their claim of faith on the things that I have laid up for you. And it thrills Me, saith The LORD, because it s been yours all the time. C. Joshua 18:1-3 Take It All! 1. Verses 1-3: And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you? a. Verse 3 (NLT): How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given to you? b.

ACTING ON THE WORD FROM GOD S WILL IS PROSPERITY BY GLORIA COPELAND esus gives us an example of two men and the way they responded after hearing the Word. The wise man acted on the Word and the foolish man mentally assented to the Word. You can be either man. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it (Matthew 7:24-27). Knowing what the Word says is not enough. You must act on that knowledge to get results. Both men heard the Word and both houses experienced the storm, but the results were different! Acting on the Word put a foundation under the wise man s house that could not be moved and his house suffered no loss. The foolish man, who heard the Word but did not do it, had no foundation when the floods came. His house may have been easier to build, but it had no power to stand. Because meditation makes God s Word a reality to you, it shuts the door to mental assent and opens the door wide to doing God s Word. It not only gets your thoughts but also your actions in line with God s will for you. As truths are revealed to you in the Word, apply them to your circumstances and do them. You be the wise man who acts on the Word. When the adversities of life come against your house, it will stand because the foundation of doing God s Word will make it stand. You will learn to act on the Word of God just as you would the word of your doctor, lawyer or best friend. To put this formula into action, find out what God KNOWING WHAT THE WORD SAYS IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU MUST ACT ON THAT KNOWLEDGE TO GET RESULTS. says in the Word about the need in your life. In His Word you will find God s answer to every problem common to man. For every evil Satan can throw at mankind, our Father has provided the Word to overcome that evil. Prosperity and good success are yours through God s Word. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you ( John 15:7). To receive from God, you must make your thoughts, actions and words be in agreement with what God says belongs to you. You are the determining factor in receiving from God. God s Word does not change. God s will does not change. If you want to receive from God, YOU must change your believing and saying to agree with Him. We receive by faith. Well, what is faith? It is so simple, yet many make it seem complex or unattainable. Faith is believing what God says in His Word regardless of what you see with your eyes or hear with your ears or feel 45

46 with your senses. Faith believes God s Word no matter what the circumstances say. The Amplified Bible, Classic Edition in Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is perceiving as real fact what is not yet revealed to the senses. Faith is trust. If I told you something but offered no proof to back my words, you would have to trust me in order to believe it. If you said, You will have to show me before I will believe it, you put no confidence in my integrity. When you receive or reject what God says in His Word concerning you, you are dealing with His integrity. God s Word is good. The Bible says that God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). You may think, I would never call God Almighty a liar, but that is exactly what you do every time you allow your words and actions to contradict what you know God says about you in His Word. You are acting in fear instead of in faith fear that God will not perform His Word in your life. What an insult to the Father! God s success formula has produced in our lives over and over and over again. It has never failed to produce. We have personally used this formula to receive healing, airplanes, houses, office buildings, equipment, clothes, cars, boats, wisdom, guidance, help with our children, and national radio and television coverage to name a few. We have used the Word to receive in every area of our lives. The Bible tells us that the just shall live by faith. We have lived by faith and enjoyed tremendous blessings. When you get ready to release your faith, use whatever scripture the Lord leads you to use. Don t go to God with the problem. Don t pray the problem pray the answer. Present to God the Word that covers your need and say, I believe it!

Don t expect me to drive an old, wornout car, fly an old, worn-out airplane or live in an old, worn-out house. I don t serve an old, worn-out God. He said He would make us abundantly prosperous. That means more than just prosperous. That means abundantly prosperous. Deuteronomy 28 says your storehouses will be blessed. Storehouses is over and above what you need. That s abundance! Gloria Copeland from Faith School b. Say out loud, I believe I receive that word! 49

B. Hebrews 10:38-39 We Are Believers 1. Verses 38-39: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 2. Romans 4:17-25: (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 3. 2 Corinthians 4:13: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. C. Mark 11:22-24 We Have the God Kind of Faith 1. Verse 22: Have faith in God. 2. We have been given the God kind of faith. 3. We have the right to use the God kind of faith. 4. A revelation of the God kind of faith will remove all limitations and enlarge our capacity to believe and receive superabundance. 5. You need to go around saying, I have the God kind of faith. Let that be a revelation to you. This kind of faith is not world faith. It is the God kind of faith. The very faith that God Himself has, He put on the inside of me! It s for me! It s for me! I have the God kind of faith. That should rise up in you the moment that problems and trouble come your way. You could just meditate on the phrase, I ve got the God kind of faith. I HAVE THE GOD KIND OF FAITH! I me Gloria I have the God kind of faith. I ve got it! I don t have to let the devil run over me. I don t have to let defeat take me over. I have the God kind of faith. There has been given to me the measure of the God kind of faith. All things are possible to him that believes. All things are possible to God. But, also, all things are possible to the one who believes God. That s me. I have the God kind of faith. The same faith that created this world was put into my heart when I was born again. Now, I have to grow in faith. I have to be nourished in faith. I have to do what the Bible plainly tells me, to increase my faith if I want to operate in the God kind of faith. But there is no question about it. I have the God kind of faith if I am born again. And that makes me feel good to know that I have that world-changing, world-creating, supernatural power that can create a whole earth from words. I have that in me. Gloria Copeland, Faith School 50
