God's creation! He created us with a unique life that is a complete expression of Himself. In Genesis 1-3, you can see how Adam and Eve, who represented all mankind, lost their unique relationship with God when they fell for the deception of the devil and committed high treason against God. They were created to live forever, but because of sin were separated from the Spirit of life. Their separation from God's Spirit resulted in the death of their spirits, and eventually their bodies. And that death was passed down, leaving mankind disconnected from God throughout the generations. The life of God in the spirit of man had been replaced by death. And man has lived on earth for thousands of years as a "human" (earthly) being, but not as a "living" spirit with the nature of God. Life Returns to Earth Then, God brought His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, onto the scene—born of God and with the righteousness of God. And with Jesus came the promise that God's life would become mankind's life once again. This life is what I call "living from the inside out." God created your inner man— your spirit—to contain Himself. And Jesus proved that a man born of the Spirit, and led by the Spirit of God dwelling in him, can live in harmony and relationship with his Father. Outwardly, He showed the world and the devil that God and His creation have been forever reconnected. Take a look at Luke 1:30-38, New King James Version, and see how God brought His Son into the earth. Notice how Mary got the news from the angel of the Lord, and how she responded: Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible." Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. Mary believed what the angel told her. She believed he had spoken the Word of God to her. She was willing to accept the favor of God by becoming the mother of His Son. She received the word and conceived the promised Son, who would "save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21, NKJV). Because He is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16), Jesus went about doing good, healing all kinds of disease, and saving people from all kinds of works of the enemy. Ultimately, He gave up His life so all men could be saved, healed and delivered through Him. He gave His life for you and for me…so we could have the very same Spirit-born, Spirit- lived life He had. Jesus was born, He lived and He died with our sin, sickness and pain. Then He was raised from the dead to bring God's life to all mankind—and to bring us all out of our state of separation from God and back into union with Him. 2 8 : B V O V Kenneth Copeland Greg Stephens Sun., Dec. 1 Living Fear-Free Starts by Obeying God's WORD Kenneth Copeland Dec. 2-6 Command Asking Kenneth Copeland and Professor Greg Stephens Sun., Dec. 8 A Fearless Lifestyle Practices God's Love Kenneth Copeland Dec. 9-13 Authority and Sovereignty Kenneth Copeland and Professor Greg Stephens Sun., Dec. 15 Walking In Forgiveness Creates a Fearless Life Kenneth Copeland Dec. 16-20 Listening Diligently to the Voice of The LORD Kenneth Copeland Sun., Dec. 22 Resist Fear by Keeping Yourself In God's Love Kenneth Copeland Dec. 23-27 Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith Kenneth Copeland Sun., Dec. 29 Biblical Steps for a Fear-Free Life Kenneth Copeland Watch the Spanish broadcast Enlace or es.kcm.org WATCH ON Broadcasts subject to change without notice Daily broadcast: Mon. - Fri. 3 a.m. | 7 a.m. 11 a.m. | 7:30 p.m. | 10:30 p.m. Weekly broadcast: Sun. 6 a.m. | 1 p.m. | 8 p.m. also Mon. 4:30 p.m. | Sat. 7:30 a.m. | 8:30 p.m. ET C H A N N E L WATCH ON WATCH ON Daily broadcast: Mon. - Fri. 3 a.m. | 7 a.m. C H A N N E L DEC BVOV BROADCAST CALENDAR
