Before you read the following ministry update, please watch the above video.
All of us here are standing in faith with you today. Together, we are strong in The LORD and in the power of His might—in spite of what is happening. We have the VICTORY NOW!
Romans 8:37-39 (NKJV) should encourage all of us: “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.”
I want you know today that all is well at Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Eagle Mountain International Church, Kenneth Copeland Bible College™ and the VICTORY Channel™.
Brother Copeland has taught us well over the years. When times are good, preach The WORD. When times are tough, preach The WORD. And we have learned that we can preach our way out of any attack of the enemy.
During this COVID-19 attack, we are fulfilling our mission to stand on God’s WORD and continue to preach the uncompromising Word of Faith. We are slamming it to the devil every possible way we can. Our counterattack is weakening his resistance and is causing him to bow his knee to the Name above every name—the Name of Jesus!
Here are a few VICTORY reports of what we are doing to flood the world with God’s WORD.
THE VICTORY CHANNELTM How thankful we are to continue broadcasting on VICTORY Channel. The victorious Word of Faith is being preached 24/7 without interruption. This is completely funded by the ministry, which means our broadcasters don’t pay to be on the network and our viewers don’t pay to watch. Be sure to watch our two brand-new programs that air Monday through Friday: ■ Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m. CT, where we take your prayer requests live over the air! ■ VICTORY Update airs at 4 p.m. CT, where we provide the latest updates to COVID-19 from a perspective of faith and victory, and we interview VICTORY broadcasters.

VICTORY MINISTRY EVENTS Brother Copeland had a full traveling schedule for April. It included the Branson and Sacramento Victory Campaigns. Did we cancel those meetings? Absolutely NOT! We simply moved them to the EMIC sanctuary. Click here to get the latest updates on our upcoming events.
EAGLE MOUNTAIN INTERNATIONAL CHURCH SERVICES Even though the sanctuary is empty, we can still preach online and on VICTORY Channel. Sunday, March 29, was extraordinary! My message was entitled, “Judgment Against COVID-19!” Click here to watch. After I finished preaching, I asked Brother Copeland to execute judgment over COVID-19. The fire of God came on him, and that bold prophet’s office kicked into full gear! Click this link to watch.
KENNETH COPELAND BIBLE COLLEGE School is still in session—even though the students are not in the classroom. They are able to take their classes online and receive the full benefit of being trained up for ministry. We miss them not being on the property, but that will change very soon!
PRAYER AND PARTNER ADVOCATE PHONE LINES I am grateful that we are able to keep our prayer and customer service lines open.

In closing, please know how much we deeply appreciate you. We intend to keep on preaching “Victory Over COVID-19”! As we approach Resurrection Sunday, remember that Jesus was raised victorious from the dead. He now has the keys to death, hell and the grave. We have been raised up with Him to rule over powers and principalities. COVID-19 is defeated and is shriveling up right now! Say, “We have the VICTORY!”
Remember this—God loves you, we love you and… JESUS IS LORD!
Wondering how to respond to the coronavirus as a Christian? Use these prayer points to take your place of authority.
Quarantines,
resource shortages and the strain on the economy can leave many people feeling
helpless during these challenging times. But make no mistake—you were made
to conquer.
God has
said He will always cause us to triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14). All we have to do is take
the VICTORY He has assured us—and we do this by FAITH.
It may
not seem like it, based on what the media has to say, but when it comes to the
coronavirus, you are not helpless. In fact, you are needed in this hour—for
such a time as this.
One powerful weapon you have at your disposal is prayer. Pastor George Pearsons wrote a Prayer of Agreement for Victory Over Coronavirus that you can get HERE. In addition, you can further assume the position of authority in Christ Jesus and use these 6 Prayer Points in Response to COVID-19. Your prayers are powerful and will produce wonderful results (James 5:16)!
1. Pray That the Church Will Be a Light
“A scared world needs a fearless Church.” These words of A.W. Tozer could not be more true than in today’s circumstances.
When trouble comes, we—the Church—should look different from everyone else. We should respond differently. In doing so, we will shine a light in a dark world that is without hope and peace—something most people are reaching for right now.
While the world spreads messages of fear and uncertainty, we are instructed not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). That means we don’t let the world tell us how to respond, we let the Word of God be our guide.
Pray that the Church will do the following:
Don’t feed fear. Our words and actions should stand out in the crowd. Instead of joining in with the fear-filled conversation, pray that we will be an encouragement instead and speak God’s Word of victory.
Exude confidence. While others are panicking, Christians should look different. We should bring hope and peace to an unsettling situation and demonstrate our faith.
Offer to help. Instead of hoarding resources, we can find ways to reach out to the community. Run errands for the elderly or pray for people over the phone who are experiencing fear.
2. Pray for World Leaders
While so many people have used this opportunity to criticize leadership, Christians should be different. We must demonstrate the love of Christ, rather than a spirit of criticism.
First Timothy 2:1-3 says, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior” (NKJV).
We can show love and support by praying for world leaders in the following ways:
Pray that every world leader would operate with wisdom, strength and guidance from God.
Pray for peace for all leaders.
Pray for cooperation among all leaders.
Pray for supernatural understanding and decision-making ability regarding COVID-19.
3. Pray for Our Economy
The response to current circumstances has put a great strain on our economy—including small businesses. You can use your faith to pray for our economy in the following ways:
Pray that fear would cease, and economic activity would pick up again.
Pray for the financial health of small businesses.
Pray for a supernatural renewal of resources.
Pray for the protection of jobs for fellow believers.
Remember—we are not under the world’s economy—we are under God’s heavenly economy, and it NEVER FAILS. Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. We have been given authority, and it’s time to pray him out of this situation and off our money in Jesus’ Name!
4. Pray for Psalm 91 Protection
There is no prayer more powerful than one prayed in faith and based on Scripture. Psalm 91 covers every aspect of the current circumstances with the power of Almighty God.
When you pray, you can declare scriptures in faith. You don’t have to ask if it is God’s will to protect you—His Word already says so!
Thank Him and praise Him that Psalm 91 protection is all around you.
Declare Psalm 91 protection over yourself, your family, your body and your home.
Don’t forget to pray for health care workers, grocery store personnel and others in essential roles who are on the front lines.
Recite Psalm 91 out loud and make it personal by putting your name in the verse.
God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of POWER, love and a SOUND MIND. A sound mind doesn’t think and speak irrationally or stir up a spirit of fear among other people. It is EMPOWERED in any situation!
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) says, “Fear not, for I am with
you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will
help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
You can pray against the spirit of fear as follows:
Bind Satan from operating and from spreading fear among your friends, relatives and country.
In difficult times, many are seeking answers. It is in uncertain times that many will turn to the Lord who wouldn’t have otherwise. We believe that the end-time harvest is here!
Here are some tips on how you can pray that people will come to Christ:
Pray that those who do not know the Lord will come to Christ and find the answers, not only in the current troubles, but with every need they face in their lives.
Pray for an awakening and that people would turn to Him when all other sources fail.
As you use these 6 Prayer Points in Response to COVID-19, you will not only impact the world around you, but build your own faith at the same time. Prayer is a powerful weapon, and it CHANGES things. Expect and believe for the power of God to descend upon His people in response to their faith, praise and prayer. We have the victory over the coronavirus (COVID-19)!
7. Bonus Prayer Point from Kenneth Copeland: Pray for a Supernatural Heatwave!
Join us as we pray, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, for a supernatural heatwave to kill COVID-19! As Brother Copeland was praying about the current situation concerning the coronavirus last week, the Holy Spirit instructed him to tell the Body of Christ to pray for heat like you would pray for rain. Why? The coronavirus cannot live in high temperatures, so a heat wave would kill it.
The Holy Spirit living inside of us has the answers to every problem we’ll ever face—which includes answers to this current pandemic. When we pray by the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will supernaturally shift the atmosphere to align with God’s will because we are praying His solution and provision into the earth!
VICTORY Special: Standing Strong Against Coronavirus
On March 2-3, 2020, 13 tornadoes ripped through the Nashville, Tennessee, area. Following those events, Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) sent out the KCM Disaster Relief Team to the area to check on the wellbeing of our Partners. As this short video shows, the team visited our Partners to pray for and give financial support to those families in an effort to encourage them in faith and to help them rebuild.
Of course, the Partners admitted that they handled the uncertainty of the storms just as they had learned from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland—they applied the Word. For years, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have taught Christian believers to get the Word of God inside of them—to read it, study it, and apply it to their lives so that when they need to call upon that Word in faith, they’re ready to do so.
And that’s exactly what KCM’s Partners in the Nashville area did during this challenging time. Glory to God!
The KCM Disaster Relief Team is made possible by the financial support and prayers of our Partners. So if you are a Partner with Kenneth Copeland Ministries, thank you. Your support through prayers and giving affects lives spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially worldwide.
Because you pray, and because you give, you make this possible! If you’d like to learn more about Partnership with KCM, visit https://www.kcm.org/partner.
And if you need prayer for any reason—whether you are a Partner with KCM or not—contact one of our prayer ministers at https://www.kcm.org/prayer-request. We’re here for you!
For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. —1 John 5:4 (AMP)
You Have Victory Over the Coronavirus!
Jesus has already redeemed you from the curse—which includes all sickness and disease (Galatians 3:13)! We want to help you learn how to use your authority in the Name of Jesus, so you can stand strong against COVID-19. Take the victory that belongs to you!
Prophecy Update:
‘I Execute Judgement on You, COVID-19’
‘COVID-19 Will Be Over Much Sooner Than You Think!’
Are you in the household of faith? Then, let’s do this together! Pastor George Pearsons wrote a prayer of agreement for our victory over the Coronavirus. Let’s agree together! Print it out, meditate on it, and speak and declare your victory today!
Faith is a powerful force, but we must release our faith in order to experience God’s supernatural intervention. Our faith is what overcomes and conquers the world—which includes the coronavirus! Study these resources, and release your faith to stay strong and healthy, and for the destruction of COVID-19!
If you’re sick today, know this—it is God’s will to heal you! In fact, you were healed 2,000 years ago when Jesus died on the cross and rose again. He did it for you, out of grace and love for you, because God wants you healed—spirit, soul and body. Receiving healing from Him is a matter of “taking it” in the same way you take your salvation—by believing by faith and speaking God’s WORD. Spend some time studying these resources below, and take your healing!

Watch our Generation Series, and see how the message of faith is changing generations!
For more than 50 years, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have taught believers around the world how to live by faith and apply the Word of God to their everyday lives. The result? Generations of Spirit-led believers have learned how to rise up and walk by faith in God’s Word, no matter what their circumstances. With each generation, the knowledge of biblical truth grows. One generation learns from those who walked before them, and the ones after them will walk with even greater confidence, knowledge and power. That’s who we are!
We are Generation Faith born for such a time as this. From all over the world, across all ethnicities, we are sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers. We don’t blink at the promises of God. We stand in faith, across generations, taking God at His Word, pressing in by faith toward the victory that overcomes the world. We won’t give in. We won’t give up. We won’t back down. That’s who we are!
In our #GenerationSeries, you’ll watch raw, transparent testimonies from Generation Faith. You’ll hear how the message of faith changed their lives. We start out with those closest to Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. You’ll see how growing up in the Copeland family didn’t shortchange the challenges they have faced, but it gave them the tools they needed to stand in the midst of adversity. Like all believers, they have had to stir up their own faith as they stood for their futures, their children’s healings and even their own peace of mind.
Watch videos from this poignant series and hear again and again how the message of faith in God’s Word has transformed and impacted those who chose to put their faith in God’s Word—No matter what!

Did you know angels are a part of ministering the promise of healing to your body? Let these four testimonies feed your faith!
READING
TIME: 7 MINUTES
When you pray and believe for healing, have you ever wondered how it might come to pass? There are many different ways the Lord delivers healing. You can’t expect your healing to happen exactly like someone else’s, but you can always expect it!
According to the word of the Lord through Kenneth Copeland for 2020, this is going to be year of new visions, manifest power and great change. One way we can see this manifest power is through the ministry of angels. In fact, it’s one of the ways the Lord delivers His promise of healing to your body.
You have an angel who has been assigned to minister the promises and blessings of God to you (Hebrews 1:14). Your angel is an operator—capable of doing great things.
Do you need healing today? Kenneth Copeland says, “You’re not in this by yourself. When you activate your faith, you activate your angel.”
Find out more about how God manifests His power with these four testimonies of healing through the ministry of angels. He can do the same thing for you!
Testimony No. 1: Supernatural Surgery Through Angels
Kenneth Copeland is friends with Bishop David Oyedepo who pastors Faith Tabernacle in Lagos, Nigeria. Kenneth often travels to the church to minister to over 115,000 people and has a special relationship with the people there.
Just three years ago, Bishop Oyedepo was
flying through the United States and asked if he could come visit Kenneth. During
their time together, he shared a powerful story about a supernatural surgery
through the ministry of angels that had just occurred.
Here is his story.
A young man, who was about 25 years old at
the time, served on staff at Faith Tabernacle. He had suffered a gunshot wound
that destroyed his elbow and required an elbow replacement. The device that had
been surgically implanted was large and caused constant pain. But there was no
alternative.
This young man was known for working
tirelessly for the Lord. One day, he worked, served and ministered all day and
into the evening during a church service where 130,000 new people had come for
ministry.
At
the end of the evening, he heard the Lord say to him, You’ve been working
hard for Me; now I’m going to work for you. At the time, he didn’t know
what God meant. So, he went home and went to bed.
When he woke up the next morning, he looked
over, and the elbow joint replacement was lying on the bed next to him. He had
a new elbow and was completely healed!
An angel had come and ministered
supernatural surgery to carry out God’s creative miracle.
This is just one example of manifest power through the ministry of angels. It’s one of the ways God will carry out His Covenant promise to you.
Testimony No. 2: A New Heart Through Angels
If you have something in your body that isn’t fixable according to the doctors, did you know there is a replacement waiting for you in God’s storeroom? A man named Gary Wood was a friend of Kenneth Copeland. He wrote a powerful book titled A Place Called Heaven, in which he describes what happened to him when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 18.
When he arrived in heaven, a friend of his
who had gone to heaven a short time before, met him there and escorted him to
what he described as a huge place where there were arms, legs, hearts, brains,
shoulders, eyes—every human body part.
He asked his friend, “What is this place?”
His friend said, “This is the spare parts
room. The Father has these available for His family. All people have to do is
call for them, but most of them don’t.” He told Gary that when people prayed
and believed for a miracle, an angel was dispatched to carry it out.
Find out more about the 3 Ways Angels are at Your Service HERE.
That’s what happened to a man who recently
testified to Kenneth. He had been struggling with heart trouble and was
scheduled for open-heart surgery. As a believer in the Word of God, he had been
standing strong and believing for his healing. He hadn’t budged over into fear,
doubt or unbelief.
One night, as he was sleeping, he suddenly woke
up. He looked up and saw what appeared to be a man standing over him with his
hands in his chest, moving things around. It was an angel!
The angel smiled and said, “Everything’s
going to be OK. Go back to sleep.”
The man went back to sleep, and when he
woke up the next morning, he had a brand-new heart. He never had to have the
surgery, and his heart trouble was gone.
That is the healing ministry of angels—to
carry out the miracles, blessings and promises of God.
You may not see your angel as this man did,
but you can expect your angel to work with you to manifest power in your life.
Ask the Lord, “Father, reveal to me how to activate my angel—how I can aid him
in ministering to my family and me.”
Stand on the Word of God and believe that He will carry out what He has promised—maybe even by the ministry of angels.
Testimony No. 3: A New Thyroid Through Angels
If you’re wondering if angels only minister healing in your sleep, just ask KCM Partner and Believers’ Voice of Victory magazine writer Melanie Hemry.
In the early 1990s, Melanie became very sick to the point where she didn’t feel she could function. She was so weak, she was unable to take her children to their normal activities. “I felt like the life was draining out of me,” she said.
She didn’t know what it was, but she knew she needed to get help right away.
When she went to see her internist, she was surprised to learn that her thyroid had died. It wasn’t just an underfunctioning thyroid—her thyroid levels were at zero. Her doctor put her on thyroid medication, which he said she would need to take for life.
As a former nurse, Melanie knew it is impossible medically to renew a thyroid. As a Christian with uncompromising faith, she knew it was not impossible for God.
She immediately went to her favorite scripture, 1 John 5:14-15, and reminded herself that when we pray, God hears us; and if we pray according to His will, we will have what we ask Him. So, she prayed and asked God to give her a new thyroid and believed she received it right then.
Then, she stood firm in her faith. Every day, for two years, as she took her thyroid medication, she thanked God for her new thyroid. Then…it happened.
One night she attended the Wednesday night service at Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC). After the service, she saw a man who she knew had an amazing healing ministry. She felt prompted to approach him and ask him to agree with her for her healing.
She said, “I believe I’ve received a new thyroid. Will you agree with me?” He laid hands on her and prayed for her. As he was praying, she fell out in the Spirit. She shares more:
“It felt like I was under an anesthetic. Then, I felt someone kneel beside me. I felt my neck open up and then felt hands moving things around inside my neck. Nothing hurt me, though. Then, it stopped, and I saw the angel walk away.”
Melanie went back to her hotel and went to bed. When she woke up the next morning, without thinking, she took her thyroid medication. Very soon after, she began to feel very sick. As she considered her symptoms, she recognized them as hyperthyroid symptoms—an overactive thyroid. She realized that her medication had put too much thyroid hormone in her system because she had a brand-new thyroid!
She knew the angel had ministered a new thyroid to her body. She stopped taking her medication, and when she went back to her doctor, he tested her and found that her thyroid levels were normal. And they remain normal today!
Of her miraculous healing, Melanie says, “I believe that I was calling on the resurrection power of Jesus to bring me a new thyroid. That power resurrected my thyroid in the same way it resurrected Jesus.”
Sometimes we forget we have that power on the inside of us. Our faith—unwavering—has the power to release the blessings and promises of God in our lives. And it just might be an angel who ministers His glory and manifest power to us.
Do you need healing today? Take it from someone who has been there. Melanie says, “God doesn’t lie. You have to choose whether you’re going to believe your circumstances or the Word of God. Always choose God.”
Testimony No. 4: A Supernatural Bypass Through Angels
Kenneth Copeland is one of the healthiest 83-year-olds
we know. He certainly is living out supernatural health before us! He eats
right, exercises and confesses healing regularly.
Just a few months ago, however, Kenneth
noticed he was experiencing shortness of breath, and one of his physicians detected
a whooshing sound in his neck. He advised him to get it checked out.
Before he even had a chance to make an appointment, he stood on the Word of God, and declared, “Thank You, Jesus! I take my new heart! I take it right now. I have it, and I’m so grateful to You for it. And I forgive if I have anything against anyone.”
Need a new body part of your own? Learn how to receive one HERE.
At his physical a few months later, he learned
his body was still not making enough oxygen. It turned out that one of the
valves in his heart was not closing as it should. He was scheduled for an
angiogram the next day.
At the appointment the next day, the nurse
and doctor both listened to his heart before the test and said they didn’t
understand why he was there. They didn’t hear anything but a healthy heart!
They went ahead with the angiogram and the findings were miraculous.
The doctor said, “There’s one artery that
is completely blocked, but it bypassed itself.” Healed in the Name of
Jesus!
“I had bypass surgery and didn’t know it!”
Kenneth said. “Sometime between March 3 and March 4 a ministering angel
operated on me and delivered healing to my heart. I have a new heart!” he said.
You, too, can see the manifest power
declared in the word of the Lord for 2020 come alive in your own life! These four
testimonies of healing through the ministry of angels are a powerful way to
help you stir your own faith for healing. Healing belongs to you! Give your
angels a chance to deliver all God has promised to you. Receive your healing
now!

Reinhard Bonnke Plundered Hell and Populated Heaven!
He was only 10 years old, yet already he knew what he wanted to do with his life.
While many of his friends dreamed of becoming firemen, policemen, doctors and the like, this small, young German boy had but one burning ambition: “I want to be a missionary to Africa!”
Reinhard Bonnke was determined, and nothing could
coax him from his chosen path.
At first, many were skeptical of his seemingly overnight decision. But even through their misgivings, no one could deny the lad’s obvious dedication to his call.
His desire to serve God in Africa became so overwhelming,
that a nickname was coined for him among his friends. They called him “The Little
Missionary.”
A Confirmation
Many years later, in February 1984, in
Soweto, South Africa, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland sat in a small trailer,
across from a now older Bonnke, and his wife, Annie. It was the first time they’d
met the intense young evangelist, and suddenly the spirit of prophecy came upon
Brother Copeland.
First, Kenneth prophesied that Bonnke would
one day preach to millions, a prophecy that was fulfilled in November 2000 when,
during a six-day crusade Bonnke held in Lagos, Nigeria, 6 million people
registered to hear the gospel preached. On the final night of the meeting,
1,093,475 people received salvation!
But when they shook hands to leave, the Lord
spoke yet another word to Reinhard through Brother Copeland. He said, Reinhard, stay prepared. There
is coming an hour when I’m going to send you back to Germany to do some things
because I am going to take that Berlin Wall down and I’m going to do it
miraculously and I want you to be ready with the gospel when I do.
Five years later, the Lord made that prophecy
about the Berlin Wall public when, on Sunday morning, June 4, 1989, Brother
Copeland stood before the congregation of Eagle Mountain International Church and
prophesied: The Berlin
Wall will come down. Five months later, on Nov. 9, 1989, it did!
“No one was allowed to preach openly in
Eastern Europe one day, and suddenly all of Europe was open the next,” Bonnke
would later recall during an interview with the Believer’s Voice of Victory
magazine. “When our God decides it’s time for change, the impossible melts
before Him like butter on a griddle.”
Change is indeed what happened in the years that
followed, as evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who went home to be with the Lord last
December, eventually saw nearly 80 million documented decisions made for Jesus
Christ through his missionary work in Africa and other parts of the world.
In 2000, Bonnke stood before a supernatural
outpouring of 1.3 million people as they shouted, “I claim my flame in Jesus’
Name!” It was the largest gathering ever recorded in the history of the meetings
held by Christ for all Nations, a global evangelistic association he founded in
1974, with a heart for the continent of Africa. But more was yet to come—the
fulfillment of a divine connection made 16 years earlier, when Brother Copeland
prophesied to him.
Referring to that prophecy, Bonnke recalled
that Brother Copeland had said to him: The day will come when you’ll
see a million people saved in one service.
“In those days, it didn’t look like that could
happen,” Bonnke said. “We had the world’s biggest tent, but it could only hold
34,000.”
But on Nov. 12, 2000, the final night of the
Lagos crusade, that prophecy was fulfilled.
“When I read the crusade statistics, tears
flowed from my eyes,” Bonnke said.
That meeting also marked Bonnke’s return to
Nigeria after a nine-year ban following a Muslim riot that killed hundreds of people.
Angry at the devil for hindering God’s plan in Nigeria, Bonnke made a faith
demand to receive a 900% return in souls
for everything the devil stole during those nine years.
“At first we averaged 100,000 people coming for salvation each week,” Bonnke said. “Later the weekly average jumped to a million!”
Daniel Kolenda reflects on the value of the decades-long Partnership between Reinhard Bonnke and Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
Populating Heaven
From Cape Town in South Africa, to Cairo and
around the world, Reinhard Bonnke and his Christ for all Nations evangelistic
team have journeyed hundreds of thousands of miles in an effort to spread the
message of God. And for much of that time, Kenneth Copeland Ministries has played
a major role in assisting, both through prayer and by helping to finance the
mass evangelism campaigns put on by Bonnke through Christ for all Nations.
In the early years, Bonnke held meetings in a
tent that accommodated just 800 people. But, as attendance steadily increased,
larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he
commissioned the construction of the world’s largest mobile structure—a tent
capable of seating 34,000 people! To transport this mountain of canvas and
steel required the use of 19 semitrucks which presented a financial dilemma for
Bonnke, who turned to his Christian colleagues around the world. Among the
religious organizations that
came to Bonnke’s aid was KCM, which
financed the purchase of two of the needed semitrucks.
Today, KCM continues to share in the last-days harvests by supporting the
mass evangelism campaigns conducted by Christ for all Nations, now under the
leadership of Daniel Kolenda. A modern-day missionary evangelist, Kolenda has led more than 21 million people to Christ face-to-face
through massive open-air evangelistic campaigns in some of the most dangerous,
difficult and remote locations on earth.
“Years ago,”
Reinhard recalled during an interview, “the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, Reinhard, you are going to plunder hell and populate heaven for Calvary’s sake.”
Ever since, Bonnke has done exactly that.
Reflecting recently on his personal and ministry relationship with Reinhard Bonnke, Brother Copeland said:
“The only time I
ever preached on Reinhard’s platform, he said, ‘I want you to give an
invitation for people to come receive the Holy Spirit.’ This was a long time
before there were huge crowds. I never had the privilege of seeing personally
one of those large, huge crowds like that…. He had just finished preaching about the Holy Spirit, and I gave this simple little
invitation. I said to the crowd, ‘If you would like to come receive the Spirit
of God, speaking with other tongues, come on up to the platform.’
“I wasn’t
expecting a stampede! Nine thousand people rushed that platform that night!
“I’m so excited that he’s in the arms of Jesus, but I miss him already. “I know a large part of the prosperity; the financial prosperity and the tremendous financial growth of Kenneth Copeland Ministries was because I had the honor of being partners with the greatest soul winner of our time, and I’m thrilled. Reinhard’s homegoing is not the end. It’s just the beginning…Reinhard is not a was, he still is. He just moved. He just left town. Left his body here for a few days and moved to heaven.”

Imagine
you own a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette, like Jerry Savelle. Now also imagine you’ve
spent years (and plenty of money) working to restore it to mint condition. You’ve
given it a special place in your garage, and you put considerable effort into
taking care of it. One day, as you’re driving the sparkling beauty, it begins
making a banging sound under the hood. Uh-oh. Something’s not right.
What
are you going to do?
Would
you just drop it off at the corner oil change place? Of course not!
You
wouldn’t just turn to anyone—you would call a specialist. Someone
who has extensive experience and is highly skilled in dealing with classic
cars. All the hard work and money you’ve invested is worth protecting.
What
about your whole life? How important is that? How important are your family,
health and finances?
Those
things are all in your hands—in the care of your faith. You’ve invested a lot
in them, and you care about them deeply. Even more than that 1961 Corvette,
your life needs to be in the care of an expert. When trials come, or you’re
facing the challenges of day-to-day living, you don’t want to be in an amateur
state of faith. You need to become a faith specialist to see manifest power in
your life!
The word of the Lord through Kenneth Copeland for the year 2020 speaks of an increase in manifest power among Christians and in the Church. (Read the word of the Lord for 2020 HERE.)
You can be part of this increase of God’s display of power in your own life by moving from beginner to pro with your faith. Here are five reasons why faith specialists will see manifest power in 2020, and how you can become a faith specialist yourself.
1. Faith Specialists Stay in Their Calling
Some
people have criticized Kenneth Copeland for spending the majority of his time
preaching on faith. He makes no apologies for this. “That’s my calling,” he
says. “It’s my job.”
In
following the specific call on his life, Brother Copeland has kept himself from
being distracted by the criticisms or demands of others who would like to pull
him off course. He knows that it takes the entire Body of Christ to present a
complete picture—no one person should try to achieve this. While he flows in
the specialty of faith, others flow in healing, the strength of families or
preserving biblical values in the public square.
He
shared recently about the importance of faith specialists staying in their
calling.
“We
are at a place right now in the kingdom of God where we are required to
understand the ministry of a pastor. He is called to cover The WORD of God, but
it is very necessary for a pastor to know the calling of his church and stay in
that calling.”
In
other words, if the calling of a church is to major on faith, evangelism,
healing or any other flow, that’s where the focus should be—that should be that
pastor’s specialty. Just as there are general practitioners who practice
general family medicine, there are also specialists.
Your wealth—spiritually and otherwise—is in your calling. And when you’re in your calling, you’ll see an increase in manifest power in 2020. Find out what you’re called to and stay in it. (Use these 3 Simple Tips for Finding Your Calling.) Don’t try to anoint yourself. Just be available.
2. Faith Specialists Are Bold
Aside from knowing their calling, another reason why faith specialists will see power manifest this year is because they are bold. Proverbs 28:1 tells us, “The godly are as bold as lions.”
Bold about what?
Bold in responding to the Holy Spirit.
Bold in obeying the Word of God.
Bold in laying hands on the sick.
Bold in claiming covenant rights.
Bold in speaking the truth to the world.
Bold all the time!
Some people see bold as brash, but that isn’t the biblical definition of boldness. You should always follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and let everything you do be done in love. Faith specialists are bold with a holy boldness—one that won’t shrink back when the world speaks or when adverse circumstances come knocking at the door. That’s how they’ll see an increase in manifest power in 2020!
If you want to be a faith specialist and see that same power this year, learn to be bold! Ask God to help you develop the kind of faith that lives boldly for Him.
Watch as Kenneth Copeland teaches you to be bold with your words.
3. Faith Specialists Act on Their Faith
As we’ve discussed so far, faith specialists stay in their calling and live boldly. Faith specialists are also set apart from other believers because they do this…
Act ontheir faith.
The difference between someone who just dabbles in faith and a faith specialist is in their actions. Faith specialists don’t wait until they see a manifestation to act on the Word of God—they act on their faith before they see any evidence at all. That is why they will be recipients of the increased manifest power in 2020.
There was a pastor who was believing God to build a church building. When he felt in his spirit that God had given him permission to move forward, he praised and thanked Him. But God wanted more. He wanted action, so He told the pastor to step out.
Though he didn’t have the money to build the entire building, he did have the money to dig a hole. So that’s what he did. That church building is sitting there today—and it was built completely debt free.
A faith specialist doesn’t just believe the Word of God and speak the Word of God—he or she acts on that faith. Just as the woman with the issue of blood did when she reached out to touch Jesus’ robe and the four men did when they lowered their friend to Jesus for healing.
When Kenneth Hagin was believing for his healing at age 17, he first believed the Word, then spoke the Word. All that was left was an action. Lying paralyzed from the waist down in his bed, he pushed one leg over the side, then the other. Once he was on the floor, he began to pull himself up. By the time he had done so, he was healed! His action brought a manifestation to what he already knew to be true.
James 2:26 (KJV) says, “Faith without works is dead.” No works equals no faith. A faith specialist always puts action to faith to see results. You will experience the manifest power of God as you do this in 2020 and beyond!
4. Faith Specialists Operate From the Inside Out
You’ll never find faith specialists talking about their natural circumstances as if they were final. They’ve spent too long in the Word of God to believe circumstances over what God has said. So, when a bad report comes, they don’t lock onto it—they look inside where truth resides. They operate from the inside out. (Find out how you can tap into the power inside you HERE.)
Faith
specialists don’t waste time searching “out there somewhere” for the power of
God. They already know it’s right there with them—living inside them—waiting to
be accessed. They understand that, as born-again Christians, God is living on
the inside of them, and He is waiting to give them the answers to every question
or problem they encounter.
So, when physical symptoms show up, they don’t make the world’s ways their first line of defense; they speak the Word and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When strife tries to come into their families, they don’t run to the internet—they turn to the power of the Spirit of God living inside them. (Learn to be led by the Spirit of God in any situation with these practical tips.)
Because of their connection with the living God on the inside, they are going to have a front-row seat to God’s manifest power in 2020. Does that sound like you? It can be!
5. Faith Specialists Guard Their Words
Of all the other traits we’ve talked about, here’s where the difference really comes in. A person’s words are a total giveaway of what’s in his or her heart (Luke 6:45). Faith specialists are easy to find because they guard their words.
You
won’t find faith specialists sounding anything like the evening news or people
on the street. They won’t proclaim that they get the flu every year or that they’ll
never be able to afford a new car. They don’t quote statistics about divorce
rates or homes damaged by tornadoes. That’s not their source of information.
Faith
specialists know you have what you say, so they keep their words in line with
the Word of God as if their lives depend on it—because they know they do. And
they certainly won’t be found speaking unbelief, strife or unforgiveness. If any
of those things try to wedge their way into their lives, you’ll likely hear
faith specialists say something like this:
“Devil,
you’re not coming in my house, my ministry or my body, or out of my mouth. I
will not allow it in the Name of Jesus!”
They
drive out the devil’s strategies like you would a diamondback snake who’d found
its way into your house.
No matter what happens in the lives of faith specialists, they speak positive words only and keep the negative words that contradict God’s Word out of their vocabulary. They’ve learned that the life they have now—the manifest power they’re experiencing—is the result of yesterday’s words. And they have every intention of framing a prosperous tomorrow with well-guarded words spoken today. (Learn how you can change your life circumstances with your words HERE.)
If
these five reasons why faith specialists will see manifest power in 2020 seem
tough to master—remember one thing—no one becomes a specialist at anything
overnight. It takes practice! Keep practicing these traits, and you’ll become a
faith specialist, living an amazing life, sooner than you think.

Heart trouble, thyroid issues, struggling lungs?
You don’t have to settle for it! Learn how to receive a new body part by faith.
READING
TIME: 6 MINUTES
Carrying a dead baby in her arms, a woman in Africa approached the tent where T.L. and Daisy Osborn were holding a healing meeting. She came to receive. The mother put the baby in Daisy’s arms and asked if she would pray for her child to live. Daisy took the baby and prayed over her, rebuking the devil and loosing the healing, resurrecting power of Jesus. Suddenly, she began to feel movement in the blanket. The baby was alive!
When the mother opened the blanket to look at her daughter,
she began to scream and shout. When Daisy asked why the woman was screaming, the
mother told her that her baby had been born with only one eye, but now she had
two! When Jesus restored her to life, He also gave her a new eye!
This is only one of many testimonies of God’s people supernaturally
receiving a creative healing miracle with new body parts. Sometimes, He
replaces those that are missing, and at other times, He will replace a diseased
or malfunctioning body part with a perfect, brand-new one.
Do you need a creative healing miracle in the form of a new
body part? Maybe a new heart, a new thyroid or a new kidney? Or how about a new
limb or new eyes? Whatever you may need, know this—God has a part in a
storehouse just for you. He desires that you be healed and made whole. He wants
to restore you to perfect health!
Whatever creative healing miracle you need today, you can learn how to stand in faith for a new body part with these faith-priming steps.
1. Don’t Settle Into Your Current Circumstances
“You do not have because you do not ask.” –James 4:2 (NIV)
“I can’t exercise. I have a bad heart.”
“My lungs just can’t take the stairs anymore.”
“I have a bad knee.”
Do any
of these sound like you? Maybe you’ve been told by a doctor (or many doctors)—or
even just your body—that this diagnosis is your life, and you may as well
accept it. Perhaps it has gone on so long, you’ve become used to it and
embraced it as part of your life—even making multiple changes to your life to
accommodate your body.
The
first step to priming your faith to receiving a new body part is to not settle
into your current circumstance. Don’t accept it, don’t accommodate it and don’t
receive it!
God’s
will for you is healing and WHOLENESS. You are called to walk in supernatural
and divine health, so you can fulfill God’s purpose and plan for your life. He
wants you to live long and strong on the earth!
Watch Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
teach you how to use the Six I’s of Faith.
If
you’ve accommodated a less-than-healthy body up to this point, it’s time to
turn it around. Start telling your body that this is over, and you will not
tolerate anything missing or broken any longer. Begin to see yourself
completely restored to wholeness, and make plans accordingly.
2. Believe It’s God’s Will to Give You a New Body Part
“Do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” –Ephesians 5:17, NIV
If you doubt for a moment that God wants
you well, you won’t receive what you need. Until faith rises up, study the
scriptures about faith and healing. Learn why it is God’s will for you to be healed.
Here are some ways you can build your faith
in the area of healing:
Watch Healing School with Gloria Copeland on VICTORY.
Read one of Gloria’s favorite books on healing: Christ the Healer by F.F. Bosworth.
Read Kenneth’s favorite book on healing: God’s Will to Heal by Keith Moore. Download it FREE here.
Watch healing testimonies on the KCM YouTube® page.
If you already know God’s will for you is total and complete healing, continue to renew your mind. Read and speak healing scriptures every day. Play healing scripture CD in your room at night. Speak only faith—not fear or doubt.
Then praise, praise, praise and praise some
more. Thank God for His healing power! Thank Him that it is His will to heal
you. Thank Him! He is worthy of our praise.
Believe it is God’s will to give you a new body part. Thank Him and praise Him for it before you see that new part. It is surely on the way.
3. Take Your New Body Part by Faith
“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” –Matthew 21:22 (NIV)
KCM Partner and Believers’ Voice of Victory magazine writer Melanie Hemry needed a new thyroid. Her thyroid wasn’t just underfunctioning—it was dead. Her levels were at zero. She felt so weak she was unable to function in her daily life. “I felt like the life was draining out of me,” she said.
Her doctor put her on a thyroid medication, which he said she would need to take for the rest of her life. As a former nurse, Melanie knew it would be impossible in the natural to renew a thyroid. As a Christian with uncompromising faith, she knew it was not impossible for God.
She immediately went to her favorite scripture, 1 John 5:14-15, and reminded herself that when we pray, God hears us; and if we pray according to His will, we will have what we ask Him. So, she prayed and asked God to give her a new thyroid and believed she received it right then. She took her new body part by faith.
Find 15 Scriptures to Stand on for a New Body Part HERE.
Then, she stood firm in her faith. Every day for two years, as she took her thyroid medication, she thanked God for her new thyroid. Then…it happened.
One night, she attended the Wednesday night service at Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC). After the service, she felt led to ask a man she knew was anointed in the area of healing to agree with her for her new thyroid.
He laid hands on her and prayed for her. The next morning, when she took her thyroid medication, she felt very sick. She went to the doctor and learned that she no longer needed the medication at all. She had a brand-new thyroid!
Melanie took her new thyroid by faith. She believed she
received it when she prayed, and she wouldn’t let anything move her from her
belief. It took two years before her new body part showed up, but she didn’t
let the passage of time dissuade her from believing she would see the goodness
of the Lord.
You can do the same. Ask the Lord according to His Word for
whatever new body part you need. Stand on the Word, and refuse to move until
you see it manifest. You can claim a new body part by faith!
As you stand on the Word, declare what you need. Say, “In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I claim my new heart. I have it. I take it. I thank You, Jesus, for my new heart, and I forgive anyone and everyone I have anything against.”
4. Stand Your Ground for Your New Body Part Until It Manifests
How long are you willing to stand your ground until your new
body part manifests? A day? A week? A year? Ten years?
There are times when new body parts are instantaneous, while
others are a process. As Kenneth Copeland says, “Once you’re willing to settle
in forever, you won’t be there for long.”
And don’t share your journey with just anyone. There are
more people in the world who don’t have faith for healing than those who do.
Unless you feel led to do so, keep quiet and stay in faith. If you do have
someone you can trust to come into agreement with you, there’s great power in
agreement.
Kenneth and Gloria Copeland stand in agreement with their Partners every day. Not a Partner? Become one today!
Don’t watch the clock—just keep standing. Make it part of
your daily routine—thank God for your new body part, thank Him for His
miraculous power in your life, praise Him and give Him glory even before you
see the manifestation.
Determine that you are going to get that new knee, new
heart, new hip, new eardrum. Then, don’t back down. Be patient. Be willing to
settle in for a good fight of faith. Your miracle body part will be here sooner
than you think!
You can
stand in faith for a new body part and receive a creative healing miracle when
you put these faith-priming steps to work in your life. Don’t think that
something like a new body part is too big for God. It’s easy for Him! And He
wants to do it for you. Have faith, expect to receive, and keep standing. We
here at KCM stand in agreement with you today—you have a new body part in
Jesus’ Name!
Watch Kenneth Copeland teach you
how to receive the healing ministry of Jesus.
