Kenneth Copeland — See Yourself as God Sees You Part 3

You’re one with Him in the spirit, you have
the mind of Christ, you are bone of His bone,
so you might as well be attitude of His attitude!
His attitude is “Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
” See yourself as God sees you.
One time the Lord showed me a vision of a
man holding a big banana. The man began to
peel the banana, and as he did, I saw that there
was no banana inside, but standing in the bottom
was a little man. That little man was me!
The Lord said, Son, that’s your attitude toward
yourself
. It was true. I presented a big front to
the world, but actually felt very small on the
inside. The Lord told me I needed to change
my whole attitude.

He began to show me from His Word what
it meant to be in Christ and to have Him in me.
I began to see that a born-again believer is a
limitless creature of God—an unlimited powerhouse
of the very life of God Himself!

You, too, need to change your attitude by
renewing your mind to the Word. Allow God
to reveal Himself to you and to give you this
winning attitude—this world-overcoming attitude—
in Jesus Christ.

Now that you see that God is not your
problem and that you have the very power
of God at your disposal to make you an
overcomer, you are in the position to be
more trouble than your troublemaker—
Satan—can handle! Now, you can put Satan
under your feet where he belongs.

Kenneth Copeland — See Yourself as God Sees You Part 2

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working in the
measure of every part.
In other words, it
works according to the effect brought about by
the direct amount, or the measure, that each
and every joint supplies. The amount which you
supply—the power you supply—affects the entire
plan of God. Whatever you supply—none, some,
much, or all you’re called to do—affects the entire
Body of Christ.

According to the effectual working in the
measure of every part, maketh increase of the
body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Here
again, God will not build up the Body—it
must build up itself. Some people are waiting
for Jesus to return so that the Body will rise
without spot or wrinkle at the resurrection.
But the Body of Christ is rising now, and the
Bible says He will present Himself a body that
is without spot or wrinkle. This will happen as
she edifies herself in love, grows up into Him
and is washed of water by the Word.

Can you see how God’s faith was operating
through the years? The Word of God had been
written long before the Dark Ages, yet because
it was inaccessible to the people, most could
not get born again. It had been shoved deep
into monasteries, and they couldn’t reach it.
But God kept believing. There was enough
faith in God’s winning attitude to reach a little
Catholic priest named Martin Luther. That little
priest began to scratch in the Word and he
found a sentence, “The just shall live by faith
(Romans 1:17). He found God through that
one little sentence and generated enough
power to begin a revival that is still going! God
had a winning attitude, and He refused to let
go! Today the gospel is being preached in every
nation on the face of the earth!

Kenneth Copeland — Winning Attitudes Never Lose

March 31st, 2010

Kenneth Copeland

You can’t afford to think like a loser. Change
your attitude. The whole Body of Christ is
counting on you. There will be times when you’ll
run into trouble, times when it looks like failure
is inevitable. But follow your Father’s example
and keep believing that you’re going to win. You
know, during the Dark Ages, even though God
had given His written Word, it had been shoved
deep into monasteries, and the people couldn’t
reach it. Few if any, were being born again. It
appeared as though God’s plan was failing. But He
didn’t give up. He kept on believing.

There was enough faith in God’s winning
attitude to reach a little Catholic priest named
Martin Luther. He began to scratch in the Word
and found a sentence, “The just shall live by faith”
(Romans 1:17). He found God through that one
little sentence and generated enough power to
begin a revival that is still going!

God had a winning attitude, and He refused to
let go! Today the gospel is being preached in every
nation on the face of the earth!

Remember, you’re one with Him in the spirit,
you have the mind of Christ and you’re bone of
His bone, so you might as well be attitude of His
attitude! He sees you as an overcomer, so you
need to see yourself that way too!

One time the Lord showed me a vision of a
man holding a big banana. The man began to peel
the banana, and as he did, I saw that there was no
banana inside, but standing in the bottom was a
little man. That little man was me! The Lord said,

meant to be in Christ and to have Him in me. I
began to see that a born-again believer is a limitless
creature of God—an unlimited powerhouse of the
very life of God, Himself! You need to realize this
is your life. Allow God to supernaturally change
your attitude. Allow Him to reveal Himself to you
and give you this winning attitude—this worldovercoming
attitude—in Jesus Christ!

Kenneth Copeland — What Is Our Attitude?

March 17th, 2010
Comments Off

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

What is Jesus’ attitude? A good example is the
Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). It is full of
outright confessions of faith. Look at verses 9-10:
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven.” This is a statement of
faith that shows Jesus’ winning attitude. He was
standing there in the face of people who wanted
to stone Him when He prayed that! He didn’t say,
“Father, if it be Your will….” He didn’t just say,
“Thy will be done.” He said, “Your will be done in
earth as it is in heaven!” Is there sickness, poverty
and suffering in heaven? No! Then there shouldn’t
be any of it here on earth. Can you see His
attitude in this? God doesn’t have sickness in
heaven, so He doesn’t want any here on earth!

Our attitude needs to be the same as His. Jesus
is the eternal winner—He always wins! God can
tell you what will happen 6,000 years from now.
Why? Because the events taking place in the next
6,000 years or the next 6 million years will not
happen just by chance. They are established.
Where? In the mind of God. He has faith
operating in His own ability. He is a faith being.
He can tell you what will happen in the future
because He intends for it to come out that way!
He can give you His wisdom because it’s going to
be the way He decides.

How does He do it? With His faith. He doesn’t
expect to fail. He doesn’t prepare to fail. Satan will
get in and try to destroy things, but God doesn’t
worry—He knows it will come out all right.
That’s how we’re to be. Roll all your cares over on
Him. Don’t be moved by what you feel or by what
you see. You’re a faith person, so you know how
things are going to come out. You’re going to win,
praise God!

The Church—the Body of Christ—has lived
far below her privileges. We have lived as far
below our spiritual privileges as Israel has lived
below her political privileges. Israel should be the
head and not the tail. She should not have to
borrow from any nation on earth, and every
nation on earth should be indebted to her. That’s
what God said. Well, that’s how far below our
spiritual privileges the Body of Christ has lived.

Kenneth Copeland — Is God A Loser?

March 10th, 2010

Think about that. You are one with Almighty
God. Is He a loser? Of course not! He’s the greatest
winner of all time. And that makes you a winner.
Take His innermost feelings into your heart, and
conform your own will and attitudes to His.

How do you do that? By listening to and
acting on His Word. This is a much higher calling
and a greater form of life than just submitting
yourself to God.

Is that possible? Yes! The Word says we are
predestined to be conformed to His very image—
to be one spirit with Him. It says we have the
mind of Christ and are bone of His bone. Thank
God, we’re connected to Jesus—spirit, soul and
body—through the Holy Spirit and by His Word.
We are completely and totally ONE with Him, so
let’s put ourselves in His position for a moment.

Is there any part of your life God can’t handle?
Certainly not!

Have you ever caught God asleep? No, the
Bible says He never slumbers.

Have you ever gone to Jesus with a problem
He didn’t know how to solve? No.

Have you ever heard Jesus say, “Well, I thought
I had overcome the world, but evidently I
haven’t”? No!

Well, we’re one with Him. If that’s His attitude,
then praise God, it should be our attitude. We are
overcomers with Him!

If I said, “All things are possible with God,”
everyone would smile and quickly agree. But the
same Bible, the same Jesus, the same Word of
God says, “All things are possible to him who
believes” (Mark 9:23, New King James Version). If
you believe the first statement, then you have to
believe the second.

You and I need to change our perspective in
all this. We are one with Him, so we need to set
our attitudes to match His. If we are one with
Him in spirit, soul and body, then we ought to be
one with Him in attitude as well!
