“Ken Copeland, you’re going to have to stir yourself up now. You’re going to have to move over there into that healing ministry a little faster than you thought you would, because, you see, the time is short.
“There was a time that you could wait and sort of get ready for some things. You’re not jumping out ahead of God, you’re keeping step with God. And you’re going to have to put some more emphasis into some of these areas in which you know to do so. Particularly, in the area of the healing ministry.
“And now, I separate you by the direction of the Head of the Church, the Lord Jesus Christ. By the authority invested in me as a prophet of God, I separate you unto the call of God. And now, the Anointing of God’s power and Spirit comes upon you. And by faith, we impart unto you, by the direction of Him who is the Head of the Church, the power, the gifts, the enduement, the endowment that’s necessary to equip you to stand in that office. And though you start at the bottom of the ladder, as you climb upward, upward, ever upward, that ministry shall grow and grow and grow. And men shall come to know, and many who sat in darkness, shall rejoice because they shall see the light. And a blessing unto many shalt thou be. And in that day, many, many more shall rise up and call thee ‘blessed.’ And thou shalt have cause for much rejoicing.”
