By God’s Grace—RESTORED! My husband, Brian, and I met in 2000, and dated for three months before I got pregnant. We married in 2001, a month after our son was born. We divorced in 2012 and, ONLY by God’s grace, remarried each other at the end of 2015. Yes, you read that right! We have three children—17, 15 and 10, and let me tell you that was not an easy journey for them. Our testimony isn’t just for us; it IS meant to be shared to help others NOT MAKE the same decisions. Jesus is THE decision. He CAN resolve the rest! We had literally sworn off each other and moved on in new relationships. But God had a different plan. Many times, I would call or email KCM to have pray-ers in the Body of Christ fight this battle with me, and stand in agreement. Your ministry has touched our family in so many ways. We wanted to share our story in hopes that it would strike a chord: that the mess can turn into a message with God at the center of it! To NOT GIVE UP! To fight this battle—that is not of flesh and blood—with the blood of Jesus. He is the defender! Jennifer S. | Champlin, Minn. Blessed to Bless We have been Partners with KCM since 1996 when we attended the Believers’ Convention in Birmingham, England. It was life-changing! I am chairman of the trustees for a small Christian charity in England. We run nursing homes to care for profoundly mentally and physically disabled adults. In 2007, we had two homes on one site caring for 17 individuals. We were approached by another charity that was having some difficulties. For about a year our CEO worked with them to resolve their issues. This was our seed at a time when we ourselves were actively considering how to expand. One of the difficulties this other charity had was that they had raised the money for, and built, the first phase of another home. But they could not complete the project or even open the 4-bed unit that had been completed. They ended up asking if we would receive the whole project as a gift; which we felt led to do! It was approximately £1 million worth of building on a prime site with room for expansion. Now we are looking out for the next supernatural wealth transfer. Thank you, KCM, for opening our eyes to what the Word actually says, and teaching us to expect God to do what He says He will! H.C. | Scotland ****************************************** ****************************************** Victorious Living SPEAK THE END RESULT by Kenneth Copeland “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39 I’ve preached for years that believers are to speak directly to the situations they want to change in their lives. And some people have asked me a very good question. They’ve asked, “Well, what do you say?” The answer is simple. You speak the desired end result. Nothing more. “Peace, be still.” That’s all Jesus had to say to end a violent storm. “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.” That’s all He said to eliminate the fig tree (Mark 11:13-14, 20-21). We need to imitate His example and quit talking so much. If that had been us talking to the fig tree, we wouldn’t have just said, “No man eat fruit of thee....” We’d have said, “Fig tree, in the Name of Jesus, I curse you. I send you to hell in the Name of Jesus. Fig tree, you die. I’m telling you, devil, come out of that fig tree....” And on and on we’d go. Jesus didn’t say we are heard because of much talk. We are heard because of faith in the Name of Jesus. There’s no telling what we would have said to that fig tree before we got through. But not Jesus. He just spoke the end result and never looked back. What enabled Him to operate with such simple certainty? He was confident in the authority His words carried. He knew without question that the power of Almighty God backed Him and caused His every word to come to pass. When you operate in faith, you can be just as confident. God is backing your faith just as surely as He backed Jesus’ faith. So speak to your situation with authority. Speak confidently. And speak the end result. V BVOV : 25
