Long before Kenneth and Gloria Copeland began sharing the powerful truth that "one word from God can change your life forever," Kenneth had already experienced it for himself. One teaching—just one word of revelation—completely changed the course of his life. It all began in the late 1960s. Kenneth was a young man with a deep hunger to grow in faith. He had heard a message by Kenneth E. Hagin titled "You Can Have What You Say," which struck something deep in his spirit. He knew he needed more. He needed everything Brother Hagin had taught. But there was one problem—he didn't have the money to buy the teaching tapes. "I needed every tape by Brother Hagin that I could get my hands on," Kenneth later recalled. Determined, he drove his old car to Brother Hagin's ministry headquarters. There, he met the general manager, Buddy Harrison, who also happened to be Hagin's son-in-law. They had never met before, but Kenneth introduced himself and shared what was on his heart. "I've been called to preach," he said. "I need Brother Hagin's tapes. Here is the title to my car. I'll send you every offering I get until I've paid for them." Kenneth's passion was clear. But instead of taking his car title as payment, Harrison did something remarkable: He simply gave Kenneth the tapes—free of charge. That generous gift launched a week that would change everything. Kenneth took his Bible, his tape player and those teaching tapes to the garage. There, he locked himself away for seven days, determined to hear from God. "I knew my heart needed to be filled to overflowing with The WORD," Kenneth remembers. The first day, he listened for 13 hours. The second day, nearly 15. After that, he averaged 18 hours a day. It was a week of intense focus, deep study and powerful revelation. And it marked the beginning of a transformation—not just in Kenneth's life, but in Gloria's too, and eventually in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. That moment of generosity…that hunger for truth…that week of listening and seeking…all led to a divine encounter.
