Gloria Copeland

Jeremiah 1:12
Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Jeremiah 30:17
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.

Joel 3:10
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Nahum 1:9
What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Matthew 8:2-3
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Matthew 15:30-31
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 18:18-19
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Gloria Copeland — Receiving Faithfulness Part 2

Gloria Copeland

Joshua and Caleb held onto their confession of, “We can
take the land” for 40 years, until they were both 80 years
old. Then Caleb said to Joshua, who was their spiritual
leader, “Give me that mountain. I can take the land.” His
confession had remained unchanged.

Caleb knew of the faithfulness and mercy of God. It
motivated him to draw closer to God instead of running
from Him. He was convinced his God was able. When we
get a revelation of mercy and obtain it for ourselves we will
begin to speak it out in faith. That’s when mercy begins to
explode and manifest itself outwardly.

It all comes down to this: God’s original plan was for
man to live in close communion with Him. But after Adam
sinned, this was no longer possible. God could only deal
with man at arm’s length. Fellowship was impossible.

But, the Father had mercy on man and sent His only
Son to be our Savior and Redeemer. Through His death
and resurrection, Jesus restored us to our rightful place in
God’s original plan—a place of fellowship and communion
with the Father.

As joint heirs through Christ’s saving power, we have the
right to God’s mercy and all that goes with it. So, take
advantage of this gift from God. Ignite the power of mercy
in your life by spending time in prayer and fellowship with
the Father. Study His Word. Take hold of the promises found
in His Word, and by faith speak your needs into being. Confess
and believe in His power. If you do these things, God’s mercy
will continually be manifest in your life. For His mercy
endureth…forever!
