Dear Partner,
As you know, the month of April is very special to Gloria and me! We entered into the covenant of marriage on the 13th. We just celebrated our 64th wedding anniversary! The honeymoon is still alive between us! We are both very grateful for that!
“Brother Copeland, how did you two do that?”
That’s easy. We have never had a fuss! Difference of opinion? Yes. So, we stop and pray and base all of our decisions on The WORD of God and prayer.
Now let’s begin today with this. When we say, “All is well in the household of Faith,” what is included in the word well? Wellness is equivalent to living in divine health. Let’s look at Romans 13:7-8 in the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition:
- Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.
- Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to Love one another; for he who Loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements].
Gloria and I NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT paying OUR TAXES! We remember when we didn’t have much on which to pay taxes! Now because of THE BLESSING of Abraham and being delivered from the curse of the Law, and walking in THE BLESSING of Abraham each year, we ADD to our taxes to go toward the government debt!
Let’s look at Proverbs 10:22, AMPC:
- THE BLESSING of The LORD—it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].
Turn with me now to 2 Kings 4. Remember now, this is the First Covenant account of a rich and influential woman in Shunem. Let’s begin reading in verses 9-10, AMPC:
- And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by continually.
- Let us make a small chamber on the [housetop] and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp. Then whenever he comes to us, he can go [up the outside stairs and rest] here.
Now look at verses 16-17:
- Elisha said, At this season when the time comes round, you shall embrace a son. She said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.
- But the woman conceived and bore a son at that season the following year, as Elisha had said to her.
One day, when the boy was grown, he was helping his father and the reapers in the fields. He had a sunstroke, and the young man died. His mother went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Remember now, it must have been a bed fit for a king! She was very rich! Notice that it did not say her husband was rich! It’s obvious that she was rich before the two of them were married. This woman was a woman of great Faith! Let’s continue reading in verse 23, King James Version:
- And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
Now look at the same verse in the AMPC:
- And he said, Why go to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath. And she said, It will be all right.
What then did she say? “All is well.”
Now let’s look at what the Spirit of God had to say through His Apostle Paul, beginning with Galatians 5:22-23, AMPC:
- But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is Love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
- Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].
This, my dear Partner, produces a holy life. Continue in Chapter 6:9-10, AMPC:
- And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
- So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a BLESSING, especially to those of the household of Faith [those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers].
The LORD Jesus, by His Spirit, is all those things in Chapter 5:22-23. So like the Shunamite woman, I declare by Faith, “I’m not moved by what I see. I’m not moved by what I feel. I’m moved only by what I believe.” Gloria and I learned this from Kenneth E. Hagin: “The Bible says it. I believe it, and that settles it!”
If you, Partner, were to say to me, “How are you, Brother Copeland?” my answer to you, or anyone else, should be, “ALL IS WELL.” And by that I mean all is well spirit, soul, body, financially and socially. “ALL IS WELL IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.”
If all is not well in your household, for whatever reason, begin confessing that it is! Always remember that what anyone says most of the time, it will get from their mouth into their heart and begin to control their lives. Years ago, I had said something to be funny but, really, the “funny” part was true. I said, “I HATE EXERCISE!” I had forgotten about saying that so long ago but, one morning, I got up early before breakfast and went into my small gym, or exercise room. The moment I began my workout, without thinking about it, the first thing out of my mouth was, “I HATE this!” Then I shouted: “No! In the Name of Jesus, whose I am and whom I serve, I LOVE it.” Why do I Love it? Because it’s in the New Covenant. First Timothy 4:8, AMPC says, “Physical training is of some value (useful for a little)…,” or “physical exercise doesn’t last long.” But the bottom line is that it’s absolutely necessary for all to be well in the household of Faith.
The word of The LORD came to me before the end of last year saying that things will begin to change for the good in the USA starting in September. This is the Year of THE BIG FIX. I want you to understand that I never announce what The LORD tells me about the upcoming year because it rhymes with the number of the year. It must be backed by Scripture—many scriptures.
KCM’s household of Faith is believing that we will increase to 1 million Partners according to Ephesians 4:16, AMPC:
- For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in Love.
I pray for you at every meal. The entire staff of KCM prays for you every day.
Thanks to ALL of you for praying for all of us! Remember, God Loves you. We Love you, and Jesus is LORD!
Love,
