Praise God for all He is doing in your life right now! And don’t let go of the word from The LORD through Brother Copeland:
2024 is going to be a year of more and more, and more and more. More finances. More healings. More miracles. More outpourings. More people coming to Jesus. More things happening. The outpouring of the Spirit will get more intensified and will grow stronger and stronger and stronger.
Thank you so much for your faithfulness to EMIC and your diligence in prayer for us! We believe that as you have sowed this seed, you will receive a hundredfold return for your time and commitment. Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 6:38: “Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
Believe it and receive it by faith, right now! I am standing in agreement with you for whatever vision The LORD has given you to fulfill.
By now, you have most likely viewed my weekly program on VICTORY Channel called Inside the Vision. The main purpose of the program is to share with you everything that is taking place at KCM, EMIC, KCBC, VICTORY Channel and our ministry impact around the world. The other purpose of the program is to encourage your vision. So, today, I want to take you Inside YOUR Vision.
My frame of reference for vision for the last 48 years has been Kenneth Copeland Ministries. I have diligently observed Kenneth and Gloria as they sought The LORD, exercised their faith, and fulfilled their God-given vision.
Here are some fundamental steps I have learned from them about fulfilling their vision. Habakkuk 2:1-4 says, “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And The LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”
Step 1—Take time to seek The LORD.
First, find out what He wants you to accomplish for His kingdom. Proverbs 19:21 (AMPC) says,
“Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is The LORD’s purpose for him that will stand.
The Message says, “We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but GOD’s purpose
prevails.” Kenneth and Gloria have always wanted God’s plan for their ministry.
Step 2—Write the vision.
Make it clear and specific. It helps our faith to write the vision so we can all run with it. When we
do that, the vision won’t be ambiguous. How can we successfully hit the bull’s-eye if we don’t
know what the target is? If we don’t know what our destination is, how will we know when we
have arrived? A lack of clarity makes our purpose elusive and unattainable. Writing a God-given
vision makes it clear and measurable. We are still operating from the vision given to Brother
Copeland in 1976: “Preach this uncompromised Word of Faith on every available voice!”
Step 3—Locate your scriptures.
Find scriptures that support your God-given vision. Kenneth and Gloria have taught that
God’s WORD and prayer are the foundations to all that KCM accomplishes. We stand
on those scriptures and declare them out loud. Many years ago, we were building the
Student Life Center on the KCM campus. We stood on Hebrews 3:4 (AMPC): “For
[of course] every house is built and furnished by someone, but the Builder of
all things and the Furnisher [of the entire equipment of all things] is God.”
Step 4—Don’t give up.
Habakkuk 2:3 (AMPC) says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the
end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because
it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.” Galatians 6:9 (AMPC)
tells not to “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.” Kenneth and Gloria have had many opportunities to give up. However,
they held fast and didn’t quit. And look what The LORD has done!
Step 5—Keep walking by faith.
Habakkuk 2:4 tells us, “The just shall live by his faith.” I am so thankful for the teaching of faith
we have received from Kenneth and Gloria. It takes faith to see the fulfillment of your vision.
Walk by faith and not by sight. Don’t be moved by what you see. Shout the six “Is” of faith:
“I BELIEVE. I WILL. I TAKE IT. I HAVE IT. I THANK YOU FOR IT. I FORGIVE!”
Standing with you for YOUR vision,
Pastor George
