BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

As we put His Word first place in our lives, it brings our mind, will and emotions in line with God’s mind and will. It changes our thinking, so we increasingly think like He does. If, for example, we come from a background of lack that has limited us where prosperity is concerned, God’s Word will remove those limitations. It will renew our minds so we can leave the past behind and increasingly move forward into a life of divine abundance. A life like Proverbs 10:22 describes, where “the blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” What’s more, as we continue in the Word, it causes our faith to continue to increase. It enables us to keep growing in our ability to believe God for prosperity. Ken and I can testify to this. When we first got born again, we had to stretch our faith just to believe God for enough money to put food on the table. I had to pray in tongues the entire time I was grocery shopping to push away the fear I wouldn’t have enough money to pay for what I’d bought. When Ken said he had signed us up to become partners of Oral Roberts’ ministry and give $10 a month, I staggered at the thought. “Where are we going to get $10?” I asked. But I stayed in the Word, stretched my faith a little further and joined Ken in believing for the extra money and, sure enough, it came in. When, after we had been in ministry for a while, the Lord led us to buy our first little single-engine airplane, we realized our faith had grown bigger. Ken found the one he wanted, and although we were $3500 short of having enough money to pay for it, he took the money we had to the man who was selling the plane. “Go ahead and take the plane now,” the owner said. “You can pay it off over time. I trust you.” But because Ken and I had agreed before God not to borrow money, he said by faith, “No, I’ll pay for the plane in full. You just hold it for me, and I’ll be back with the full amount.” Later that same day, we got a call from Olin Creach, Carolyn Savelle’s father. He was one of our ministry board members at the time. “I have $3500 I want to give you,” he said. Back then, $3500 might as well have been $35 million. We didn’t have any way in the world to get it. But God already had it—and because we’d kept growing in faith, when we needed that plane to get the gospel to people, God was able to get the money for it into our hands! “But I’m not in full-time ministry like you and Brother Copeland,” you might say. “I don’t have any board members calling to give me money. How can God prosper me?” There are all kinds of ways He can do it. He’s an expert at prospering His people supernaturally. He’s been doing it for thousands of years. He told the Israelites, if they believed and obeyed Him, He’d give them “houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant” (Deuteronomy 6:11, "NKJV"). He also said to them, “If ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you…then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves” (Deuteronomy 11:22-23). Don’t look at natural circumstances to see what God can do in your life! Look past the natural things and look into the Word of God. He says He can use even your enemies—sinners who might appear to be greater and mightier than you in the natural—to prosper you. He’s done it for the Partners of this ministry, time and again. One of them wrote us a few years back about some land God BLESSED them with. It had been owned by a notorious sinner and used for ungodly purposes. When our Partners offered to buy it, the owner initially rejected their offer because it was far below his asking price. But then he got himself into some legal trouble and needed money quickly, so he decided to sell the land to them after all, for just a fraction of what it was worth. God can do the same kind of thing for you. As Rufus Mosely once wrote, “God can put the move on anybody!” If you’ll just stick with the Word, He’ll BLESS you financially above what you can ask or think. He’ll turn you into one of those believers who knows His Word, walks by faith and can afford to do whatever He says, so that you too can become one of the devil’s worst nightmares! V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) There are no limits to how much God can prosper you. (2 Cor. 9:8, "AMPC") 2) Old ways of thinking may try to limit you, but the Word of God can set you free from those limits. (John 8:31-32) 3) The Word of God is the key to living on this earth in liberty. (Josh. 1:8) 4) Financial lack is part of the curse. Jesus has redeemed you from it. (Gal. 3:13) 5) In Christ you’re BLESSED with every spiritual BLESSING , so it’s normal for you to be rich. (Prov. 10:22) ************************************* ******** ADVERTISEMENT ********* Living in God’s Prosperity Package Kenneth and Gloria Copeland show you how to live in prosperity in every area of your life.
