Gloria Copeland — Take as Directed Part 1
Filed under: Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Granted, it isn’t easy to keep your attention centered on the Word like that. It takes real effort and commitment. It may require getting up a little earlier in the morning or turning off the television at night. But I urge you to do whatever is necessary to take God’s medicine exactly as directed.
It won’t work any other way!
That really shouldn’t be so surprising. After all, we wouldn’t expect natural medication to work for us if we didn’t take it as prescribed. No rational person would set a bottle of pills on the night stand and expect those pills to heal him. No one would call the doctor and say, “Hey, Doc! These pills don’t work. I’ve carried them with me everywhere I go—I keep them in the car with me, I set them on my desk at work. I even have them next to me when I sleep at night—but I don’t feel any better.”
That would be ridiculous. Yet, spiritually speaking, people do it all the time. They cry and pray and beg God to heal them, all the while ignoring the medicine He’s already provided. (They might take a quick dose on Sunday when they go to church, but the rest of the week they don’t take time for the Word at all!)
Why do people who love God and believe the Bible act that way? I think it’s because they don’t understand how putting the Word in their heart can affect their physical bodies. They don’t see how
something spiritual can change something natural.

1 Kings 8:56
Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath
not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
Psalm 91:9-10, 14-16
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.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
Psalm 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mout with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 107:17, 19-21
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalm 118:17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
Proverbs 4:20-24
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. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Kenneth Copeland — Healing Scriptures
Filed under: Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
The following scriptures have helped me get healed, and stay healed, again and again. Read them continually to keep your faith for healing high. Most of them originated from Dodie Osteen, who was healed of terminal liver cancer many years ago. She took them daily like medicine, until every symptom was gone, and still takes them every day to maintain divine health.
“To be spoken by mouth three times a day until faith comes, then once a day to maintain faith. If circumstances grow worse, double the dosage. There are no harmful side effects.” —Charles Capps
Exodus 15:26
If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Exodus 23:25-26
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Deuteronomy 7:14-15
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love
the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Gloria Copeland — Jesus’ Attitude
Filed under: Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
What is Jesus’ attitude? A good example is
the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). Jesus did
not pray this for Himself or anyone else. It was
simply an example of His attitude of prayer. He
makes some outright confessions of faith.
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10). This
is a statement of faith. It shows His winning
attitude. He was standing there in the face of
people that wanted to hang Him! He didn’t say,
“Father, if it be Your will.”
He didn’t just say, “Thy will be done.” He
said, “Your will be done in earth as it is in
heaven!” Is there sickness and poverty and
suffering in heaven? No! Then there shouldn’t
be any of that here on earth. Can you see
His attitude in this? God doesn’t have sickness
in heaven, so He doesn’t want any here on
the earth!
Our attitude needs to be the same as His.
Jesus is the Eternal Winner—He is always a
winner! God can tell you what will happen
6,000 years from now. Why? Because the
events taking place in the next 6,000 years or
the next 6,000,000 years will not happen by
chance. They are established. Where? In the
mind of God. He has faith operating in His
own ability. He is a faith being. He can tell you
what will happen in the future because He
intends for it to come out that way! He can
give you His wisdom because it’s going to be
the way He decides.
How does He do it? With His faith. He
doesn’t expect to fail. He doesn’t prepare to
fail. Satan will get in and try to destroy things,
but God doesn’t worry—He knows it will
come out all right. That’s how we are to be.
Roll all your cares over on Him. Don’t be
moved by what you feel or by what you see.
You’re a faith man, so you know how things
are going to come out. You’re going to win!
Praise God!

Gloria Copeland — One Spirit, Mind, Body and Attitude
Filed under: Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
We are to be conformed to the very attitude
of God. We are to take His innermost feelings,
place them in our hearts and cause our wills and
attitudes to conform to His. But the only way we
will get them is by acting on the Word. This is a
much higher calling and a greater form of life
than just submitting ourselves to God. We are to
have our attitudes changed to completely and
absolutely conform to the Son of the Living God.
The Word says we are predestined to be
conformed to His very image. It says we are
one with Him—one spirit with Him. It says we
have the mind of Christ, and we are bone of
His bone. Thank God, we’re connected to
Jesus—spirit, soul and body—through the
Holy Spirit and by His Word. We are completely
and totally ONE with Him, so let’s put ourselves
in God’s position for a moment.
Is there any part of your life God can’t handle?
Certainly not!
Have you ever caught God asleep? No, the
Bible says He never slumbers.
Have you ever gone to Jesus with a problem
He didn’t know how to solve? No.
Have you ever heard Jesus say, “Well, I
thought I had overcome the world, but evidently,
I haven’t.” No, you have not!
Well, we’re one with Him. If that’s His attitude,
then praise God, it should be our attitude.
We are overcomers with Him!
Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “All things
are possible with God,” everyone would smile
and quickly agree, but the same Bible, the
same Jesus, the same Word of God says, “All
things are possible to him that believes”
(Mark 9:23). If you believe the first statement,
then you have to believe the second.
You and I need to change our perspective
in all of this. We are one with Him, so we need
to set our attitude to match His attitude. If we
are one with Him in the spirit, one with Him
in mind, and one with Him in body, then we
ought to be one with Him in attitude as well!
