Gloria Copeland — Jesus Healed Them All
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
“Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father…. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works” (John 14:8-10).
If you want to see the Father, look at Jesus. During His ministry on earth, Jesus revealed to men the express will of God in action. When you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father. Jesus did not even speak His own words. He spoke the Father’s words. He did not take credit for the works done in His ministry but said that the Father in Him did the works. Everything that He said and did was a picture of the Father’s will. Jesus said in John 8:28, The Amplified Bible, “I do nothing of Myself (of My own accord or on My own authority), but I say [exactly] what My Father has taught Me.” He was God’s vehicle on the earth, God’s way to man and man’s way to God. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). First John 3:8 says, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” Jesus came to do God’s will in the earth. His will was for Jesus to destroy the works of the devil.
God set Jesus in direct opposition to Satan, the curse and all its evil effects. Every move that Jesus made and every word that He said was geared to destroy the work of Satan. Every work of power and every healing was the will of God. If you believe God’s Word, you have to believe that Jesus’ attitude toward sickness is God’s attitude toward sickness.

Gloria Copeland — God Paid the Price for Your Healing
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil all of his works (1 John 3:8). He did not destroy sin only to leave sickness in dominion. Partial redemption from Satan’s power would not have pleased God nor would it have fulfilled His plan for His family.
He redeemed the whole man righteousness for his nature, peace for his mind and healing for his body. Redemption left nothing in force that came upon man because of sin. Jesus completely destroyed the works of the devil in the lives of men.
First Corinthians 6:20 says, “For ye are bought with a price.” A great price! “Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” There should not be any sickness in the Body of Christ. When one who is sick comes into our midst, the healing power of God should flow so that he receives healing.
In the book of Leviticus, Israel used a scapegoat.The priest laid hands on a real goat, put the sins of the people on him and sent him to the wilderness totally away from the people. That’s what Jesus did with your sickness and disease! He bore them away from you! What you need to do is stand up in the Name of Jesus and command sickness and disease to go away from you. Give them no place in your body. Refuse to allow Satan to have any place in your body.
Command sickness and disease to depart from your very presence out of your home and your family. The English language does not clearly communicate to us in the word “salvation” what the Greek word sozo really means. Train yourself to remember that salvation is not just the new birth of your spirit. It is also peace for your mind and healing for your body. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words 2 says salvation denotes “deliverance, preservation; material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension.”
Mark 16:15-16 says, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” The gospel is the good news of what Jesus did in His substitutionary sacrifice at the cross.
“By whose stripes ye were healed” is not a promise. It is a fact. It has already taken place. Jesus bore sickness away from you and by His stripes you were healed. There is no sin so great that Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary will not cancel it and wipe it away as though sin had never been.
The power of God cleanses and changes one who partakes of the gift of salvation until there is no trace of the old man or his sins. You become a new man, a new creature. Your new spirit is created in the righteousness of God.
There is no disease so devastating to the human body that the same sacrifice at Calvary will not cancel it and wipe it away, and heal that body as though sickness had never been!
The gospel is the good news of what Jesus did for every person in His substitutionary sacrifice at the cross. He bore your sins, so you do not have to bear them. You can be forgiven now! He did that for every sinner. He bore your diseases, so you do not have to bear them. You can be healed now! He did that for every sick man! He bore your pains. He did that for every sufferer. That is what the gospel is good news of what Jesus did for all.
Jesus commanded that this good news be preached to every creature because everyone who hears it and believes it will be saved and healed now.
As the Body of Christ, we do not have to tolerate sickness any longer. We do not have to tolerate disease any longer. Jesus paid the price for our redemption from all the curse of the law. As an act of our will, we are the ones to set into motion the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Gloria Copeland — Let Go of Doubt and Be Healed
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
Look at Acts 10:38 and see how Peter describes Jesus’ ministry after three years of close association with Him: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Did He just heal some? No. He healed all who were oppressed of the devil.
The only record of anything hindering Jesus from accomplishing the will of God in the lives of His people occurred in Nazareth. It was not God’s will that stopped His miracle and healing power; it was the will of the people there. He could do no mighty works because of their unbelief (Mark 6:5-6).
Doubt will rob you of God’s blessings. Unbelief will rob you and leave you sick. There is only one thing that can stop doubt and unbelief in the heart of a man and that is the Word of God. When a person
receives the Word, doubt, defeat and discouragement have to leave. Don’t hang on to any doubt or unbelief. Don’t even dwell on it. Let the Word of God expel it.
I absolutely refuse to feed my spirit on doubt and unbelief because I know that my very life depends on the faith of God in my spirit. I will not sit under any teacher or preacher who puts doubt and unbelief in
my spirit. What you feed into your spirit is a matter of life and death, a matter of victory and defeat. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Doubt comes by hearing unbelief. It is important what you hear.
The Scriptures show beyond doubt that Jesus, while fulfilling the will of God, offered healing unconditionally during His ministry in the earth.
God has never been stingy with His healing power. He has always desired that you be healed. He wants you to be healed even more than you do. Because of His great compassion and love for His family, God greatly desires to manifest His power in our midst, yet He works only by faith—no other way.

God’s Medicine Produces Your Healing by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Proverbs 4:20-21 describes God’s prescription for life and health. If you are well, it will keep you well. If you are sick, it will heal you and then keep you well. There has never been a miracle drug that could equal the Word of God. God’s medicine is the answer to every need.
This is the way the power of God works through the Word. If you put the Word of God in your heart, act on it and obey it, you will always get healed. Take the time to put the Word in your heart concerning healing and keep that Word alive, and the power and the faith of God will always be ready to minister to you as you release your faith. The power of God is always there for the believer who will take the time to put God’s Word in his heart.
Healing is always available to the believer, but faith has to be released in order for you to receive the healing power of God. If you have been feeding your spirit with the Word as you are supposed to, then the moment a symptom of sickness comes against your body, your faith is there to rise up within you and put power behind your words.
If you are a new believer and haven’t had the time to put the Word in your heart, you need help and there are people to help you. You can have hands laid on you. But don’t stay in an elementary condition. Develop your own faith.
Don’t allow the storms of life to overtake you. Get in the Word and renew your mind. Begin to think like God thinks and you will act like God acts. Proverbs 4:20-23 says:
“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. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
God’s prescription is for life and health. God says His words are life to all that find them and health to all their flesh. This means that cancer has to go, arthritis has to go, sickness and disease have to go.
The Word of God is health to all your flesh; but to enjoy the benefits of the Word, you have to do what the Word says.If you have a terminal disease and the doctor has said you have only a short time to live, God’s Word will be life to you.
The Word will prolong your life and cause you to fulfill your days on the earth (Exodus 23:26). It is the life of God. God’s Word is life to those who find it! But what about those who don’t find it? They are not mentioned here because the ones who don’t find it are the ones who perish for a lack of knowledge. Those who do find it are the ones who are healed and live long on the earth.
