years? No, but you can, because you have a word from The LORD to stand on. As we've seen, in Genesis 6:3, NKJV, "The LORD said" about man that "his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." Notice, The LORD said that! He stated it as His will and His promise and had it recorded in His Covenant Book. So, whatever men may say to the contrary, His 120-year-lifespan plan for humanity still stands. "But Brother Copeland, in this day and age, expecting to live 120 years is just unreasonable!" No, it's not. But even if it were, it wouldn't matter. God doesn't change with the passing of time and neither does His WORD. His WORD is His bond. It remains true whether we think it seems reasonable or not. You might be interested to know this though: Even in the scientific and medical communities, the general consensus is that 120 years is a reasonable lifespan. Recent research confirms that's how long the human body really should live. Scientists and doctors just can't figure out how to get it to do so. It's still a mystery to them. It's no mystery to God though. He knows exactly what it takes for our bodies to live for 120 years, and He's written it all down for us in His WORD. He's mapped out our longevity plan for us, and all we must do is believe and act on it. 'Will You Do It for Me?' Until just a few years ago, the idea of believing to live to 120 had never even occurred to me. But one day as I was reading Genesis 6:3, He began to deal with me about it. That's just as much My WORD as 1 Peter 2:24 that says by Jesus' stripes you were healed, He said. Then, over a period of time, He let me consider what I was going to do about it. He didn't tell me I had to believe for 120 years. He didn't command me to do it. He asked, Will you do this for Me? "Certainly, I will do it for You," I replied. "But why do You need me to?" Because there are anointings missing in the Body of Christ because My people haven't been living long enough to walk in them. He pointed out to me that the anointing on our lives increases the longer we walk with Him. He said, Kenneth, were you as anointed when you first stepped into ministry at 30 years old as you were at 40? "No," I answered. Were you as anointed at 40 as you were when you were 50…or 60…or 70? "No." I have 85-, 90- and 100-year anointings planned for My people, He said. But for the most part they've disappeared. Beyond 100, I don't have any of them in the earth. The 120- year anointing isn't here. For me, committing to stay on the earth for 120 years meant I had to make certain changes in my lifestyle. I had to commit to doing everything it takes to stay spiritually, mentally and physically fit. By faith in God and in Genesis 6:3 I've done that, and as a result, today, at 85 years old, I'm in better physical condition than I have been in many, For updated event information visit: KCM.ORG/EVENTS EVENTS 2022 New Year's Eve Service Dec. 31 Eagle Mountain International Church Newark, Texas | emic.org 2023 Sacramento Victory Campaign March 23-25 North Highlands, Calif.
