THIS is going to be big: because GOD is in it!

November 11, 2011, by 5 comments

Dear Partners and Friends,

I am excited to announce that God has raised up Riley Stephenson, an on-fire evangelist who has been our outreach minister for years, to take on a full-time role in expanding our evangelistic efforts.

Dad says, “Riley is the soul-winning-est man I have ever known in my entire life.  I’m just glad to call him my friend.”

You’ll be seeing Riley all over the place as he’ll be working with churches, ministries and individuals throughout the country—wherever it’s needed—to take their ministries to the next level.

The key is training. Without it, evangelism can be one of the hardest things for a Christian to do. And Riley is gifted at teaching us step-by-step how to share the Word with confidence so it becomes easy.

Imagine:

  • Confidently sharing your faith in any situation
  • Leading your lost family and friends to Jesus
  • Reaching out to places crippled by disasters—from your prayers and twice-sown seeds through KCM
  • Equipping your church or ministry to take it to the next level

All of this will happen and more. So be looking for Riley’s training videos soon.

You can connect with Riley through the www.thecityreach.com

And if you are a Partner church pastor and would like to have Riley come and help you with an evangelism outreach to your city, you can contact him today by emailing reachout@kcm.org.

Please pray for Riley and KCM as we expand our evangelistic outreach. Together KCM and its Partners are transforming lives through the Word and the power of the Spirit!

Believers Voice of Victory To Leave WGN

November 8, 2011, by 34 comments

Since 1992, the Believer’s Voice of Victory broadcast has had as one of its media outlets the WGN television network, based in Chicago, Ill. Many times during the years we’ve broadcasted on WGN, our program has either been replaced or pre-empted due to content. Programs that the network has apparently found objectionable include ones that mention the following: abortion, understanding socialism, homosexuality, and comments regarding government programs and taxes, just to name a few.

KCM understands that WGN is privately owned by Tribune Broadcasting Company, and as part of its policy it has the right to not air content that is, in its opinion, unsuitable. Since the time we began broadcasting on WGN, we have paid $30 million for airtime. With that in mind, one would think WGN would have been more flexible with its censorship policies. But that has not been the case. We believe it is in the best interest of the Partners and Friends of Kenneth Copeland Ministries to air our last broadcast on WGN on November 25, 2011.

As we believe in the importance of the broadcasts that we air, and to ensure that all who choose to will be able to view BVOV in its entirety, we are happy to confirm that the Believer’s Voice of Victory telecast will continue to air on 138 local network stations nationwide, plus 401 TBN stations (and affiliates) as well as 92 individual Daystar stations to the same viewing audience that the previous network covered.

Further, we are in the process of exploring the options of airing on additional networks as well, to broaden our coverage to more cities across America. You can always find local station information online at kcm.org/tvlisting and on the back cover of the BVOV magazine. If you are not able to get the broadcast in your area after this change with WGN, please contact us via email (partners@kcm.org); by phone at 800-600-7395; or write to Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Fort Worth, TX 76192. As always, BVOV may be viewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week free and on demand by visiting kcm.org.

Born to Reign

October 21, 2011, by 5 comments

 

If we truly understood who we are in Jesus and what He has done for us, Christians would be the most confident people on earth. Insecurity would be banished from our lives forever. We’d reign in life as kings. We’d walk around on this planet like we own it.

Because, the fact is, we do.

As joint heirs with Jesus, we are the seed of Abraham. We are inheritors of THE BLESSING that made the whole world his possession (Galatians 3:29, Romans 4:13). This earth belongs to us just as surely as the Promised Land belonged to Isaac back in the day when God said to him: “Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father” (Genesis 26:3).

Taking Refuge in the Secret Place

October 14, 2011, by 4 comments

I believe every word God says in Psalm 91 (and the rest of the Bible too, for that matter). I believe with all my heart that if I dwell “in the secret place of the most High [and] shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty,” if “I say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust,” then surely—absolutely, for sure, without a doubt—“He shall deliver [me] from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence” (Psalm 91:1-3).

What exactly is the snare of the fowler? It’s any trap, hazard or harm that Satan might throw in our path.

What’s a noisome pestilence? It’s any damaging or deadly sickness, disease, plague or substance that has ever existed in the past or will ever exist in the future.

When you think about it, just those two phrases offer us all the protection we’ll ever need. They cover every kind of danger we could possibly encounter. But even so, Psalm 91 doesn’t stop there.

It goes on to tell us that when we’re under God’s protection, we will “not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day” (verse 5). We don’t have to lie awake at night worrying about what might be lurking out there in the darkness, we can sleep in peace. If we or our loved ones are serving in the military, we don’t have to be afraid of arrows or bullets or missiles or grenades or IEDs. We don’t have to fret about natural disasters like fires, earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, storms, or any other kind of “destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday” (verse 6, The Amplified Bible).

As massive and destructive as such things might be, God can get us through them all in perfect safety. He can surround us with His power so that, as verse 7 says, even if “a thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”

If you think that kind of protection sounds too good to be true, all you have to do is keep reading and you’ll see that Psalm 91 promises it again and again. It says, for example, that “because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling” (verses 9-10).

The word refuge means “a tent or a covering.” It’s something that encloses you. Think of it! When we trust God as our refuge, we walk around enclosed by the Spirit of the living, Almighty God!

A Reborn Race

October 7, 2011, by 4 comments


The thought that every born-again believer can operate in the power of THE BLESSING the same way Jesus or the early apostles did, amazes many Christians. They struggle to picture themselves multiplying natural resources (like loaves and fish), healing the sick or raising the dead. Yet, in the Bible, Jesus emphatically declared that any person with simple faith in Him could do all those things and more:

 

  • “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12)
  • “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (verses 13-14)
  • “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matthew 17:20)
  • “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:17-18)

God – The Open Book

January 6, 2010, by No comments yet

God never has and never will do anything apart from His Word. That’s an eternal, everlasting fact. It cannot be changed. Yet, we act as though that isn’t true when we try everything we can think of to get hold of God. We cry, we pray, we fast – we do all sorts of things. But we don’t stop and realize that the …Word – the written Word of God – is just as much God as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are God. – Kenneth Copeland

New Year’s Eve Service at Eagle Mountain International Church

January 4, 2010, by 2 comments

What about 2010?

Will it be good? Will it be hard? The answer to both questions is “Yes!”

For some, it will be the best they’ve ever had. For most, it will be more of the same—only more intense. Jesus has the answers, and it’s good news for anyone who will seek and follow Him all the way through.

And that’s what this service was about: what’s coming and how to prepare for it!

Superkid Academy Curriculum to Debut in 2010

December 21, 2009, by 5 comments

super-kid.jpg

Twenty years ago, Commander Kellie and the Superkids were born. From movie adventures to comics and novels, parents and educators have long appreciated their uncompromised message of faith in the Word for their children.

Now, in early 2010, KCM is excited to debut Superkid Academy Curriculum .

superkid.png“It is finally here!” Kellie Copeland Swisher said. “A fast-paced, interactive curriculum with DVDs, object lessons, offerings, outlines for messages—all the things your kids have grown used to at Superkid Academy at our conventions, or at Eagle Mountain International Church.”

With this curriculum, Superkid Academy will appear in churches around the globe and our young people will be raised up as Superkids with a strong foundation: knowing they can make a difference, knowing what it means to live by faith and knowing who they are in Christ.

“By arming young people with the Word and by helping to strengthen their spirits,” said Kellie, “it helps them make right decisions and live anointed lives.”

It’s just one more way KCM is reaching out to children, living out those prophetic words by Kenneth Copeland years ago: “There is no price too big, no effort too great, no job too hard for our God to reach our children. Whatever we must do, we are going to reach our kids.”

Look for news about the early 2010 release of the Superkid Academy Curriculum on TV, in the Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine and on kcm.org.

Kenneth Copeland Commemorates Oral Roberts’s Life of Service

December 16, 2009, by 11 comments

Oral Roberts not only changed the direction of Gloria’s and my life but he and his ministry changed the spiritual complexion of the United States and most of the world concerning God’s goodness. His statement, “God is a good God” became a revelation to untold millions of people who up until he opened our eyes, thought God was our problem. He showed us that God was not our problem. He was our Healer. The biggest thing in our own lives and ministry was the revelation of God’s bounty and that it was His will, not only to keep His people in good health, but also in divine prosperity.

The miracle of seed faith is now part of the driving force in the lives of multiple millions of people all over the world, preachers and laymen alike. It’s an awesome thought to go to heaven for Christmas and be met by more than 50 million people that we know of that are there, because they met Jesus through his ministry.
