God’s WORD
Alive and Full of Power
by Kenneth Copeland
God’s WORD is alive, it is full of power and it has been given to the Body of Christ as a manual for daily living.
What is God’s will for my life? How can I know His will? These are vital questions in the life of every believer today. When I first became a Christian, I had a deep desire and need to know God’s will, but Gloria and I spent five years as defeated Christians, being totally dominated by the circumstances around us. Then we came in contact with the reality of The WORD of God. I realized that whatever my problem was The WORD of God was the answer.
I began to see the importance of The WORD. The Bible is not a book to be admired and placed on a shelf, it is our God-given manual for living. Having been a pilot for 20 years, I learned early the importance of following instructions. Each airplane is equipped with an “Operator’s Handbook,” which explains the procedures involved in flying that particular aircraft.
