Kenneth Copeland — You Are A Servant, Not A SlavePosted by admin on December 30th, 2009

Isaiah 54:17
KJV—No weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord, and their righteousness
is of me, saith the Lord.

Amp—No weapon that is formed against
you shall prosper, and every tongue that
shall rise against you in judgment you shall
show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness,
security, triumph over opposition]
is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
[those in whom the ideal Servant of the
Lord is reproduced]. This is the righteousness
or the vindication which they obtain
from Me—this is that which I impart to
them as their justification—says the Lord.

Moffatt—No weapon forged against you
shall succeed, no tongue raised against
you shall win its plea. Such is the lot of the
Eternal’s servants; thus, the Eternal promises,
do I maintain their cause.

NIV—“No weapon forged against you will
prevail, and you will refute every tongue
that accuses you. This is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication
from me,” declares the Lord.

Ezekiel 34:27
KJV—The tree of the field shall yield her
fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase,
and they shall be safe in their land, and
shall know that I am the Lord, when I have
broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered
them out of the hand of those that
served themselves of them.

Amp—The tree of the field shall yield its
fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase,
and [My people] shall be secure in their land;
and they shall be confident and know—
understand and realize—that I am the Lord,
when I have broken the bars of their yoke,
and have delivered them out of the hand of
those who made slaves of them.

Moffatt—The trees of the field shall bear
fruit, the earth shall bring forth crops, and
they shall live undisturbed in the land; they
shall learn that I am the Eternal, when I
break their yoke of slavery and rescue
them from those who made them slaves.

NIV—The trees of the field will yield their
fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the
people will be secure in their land. They will
know that I am the Lord, when I break the
bars of their yoke and rescue them from
the hands of those who enslaved them.

Kenneth Copeland — Psalm 91Posted by admin on December 23rd, 2009

Psalm 91
KJV—He that dwelleth in the secret place
of the most High shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the
Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my
God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver
thee from the snare of the fowler, and
from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover
thee with his feathers, and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by
night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at
noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it
shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine
eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward
of the wicked. Because thou hast made the
Lord, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation; There shall no evil
befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They
shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt
tread upon the lion and adder: the young
lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under
feet. Because he hath set his love upon
me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him
on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver
him, and honour him. With long life will I
satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Amp—He who dwells in the secret place of
the Most High shall remain stable and fixed
under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose
power no foe can withstand]. I will say of
the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, on Him I lean and rely, and in
Him I (confidently) trust! For [then] He will
deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence. [Then] He
will cover you with His pinions and under
His wings shall you trust and find refuge;
His truth and His faithfulness are a shield
and a buckler. [Then]

You shall not be afraid of the terror of
the night, nor of the arrow [the evil plots
and slanders of the wicked] that flies by
day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in
darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden
death that surprise and lay waste
at noonday. [Then] A thousand may fall at
your side, and ten thousand at your right
hand, but it shall not come near you. Only a
spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible
in the secret place of the Most High] as you
witness the reward of the wicked. Because
you have made the Lord your refuge, and
the Most High your dwelling place, There
shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or
calamity come near your tent.

For He will give His angels [especial]
charge over you, to accompany and defend
and preserve you in all your ways [of
obedience and service]. They shall bear you
up on their hands, lest you dash your foot
against a stone. You shall tread upon the
lion and adder, the young lion and the serpent
shall you trample under foot. Because
he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I
deliver him; I will set him on high, because
he knows and understands My name [has a
personal knowledge of My mercy, love and
kindness; trusts and relies on Me, knowing I
will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall
call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be
with him in trouble, I will deliver him and
honor him. With long life will I satisfy him,
and show him My salvation.

NIV—He who dwells in the shelter of
the Most High will rest in the shadow of the
Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my
refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I
trust.” Surely he will save you from the
fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge; his
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night, nor
the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness, nor the
plague that destroys at midday. A thousand
may fall at your side, ten thousand at
your right hand, but it will not come near
you. You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked. If
you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the Lord, who is my refuge—then no
harm will befall you, no disaster will come
near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning
you to guard you in all your ways; they
will lift you up in their hands, so that you
will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord,
“I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name. He will call upon
me, and I will answer him; I will be with him
in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show
him my salvation.”

Kenneth Copeland — Refuge And Blessing From GodPosted by admin on December 16th, 2009

Job 1:10
KJV—Hast not thou made an hedge about
him [Job], and about his house, and about
all that he hath on every side? thou hast
blessed the work of his hands, and his
substance is increased in the land.

Amp—Have You not put a hedge about
him [Job] and his house and all that he has,
on every side? You have conferred prosperity
and happiness upon him in the work
of his hands, and his possessions have
increased in the land.

Moffatt—Have you not hedged him [Job]
safely in, his house and all he has? You
have prospered him in his business, and his
flocks are teeming on the land.

him [Job] and his household and everything
he has? You have blessed the work of his
hands, so that his flocks and herds are
spread throughout the land.

refuge for me, a strong tower against the
adversary. I will dwell in Your tabernacle
for ever; let me find refuge and trust in the
shelter of Your wings.

Moffatt—O thou who art my refuge, a
fortress against the foe. Oh to be a guest of
thine for ever! oh to be sheltered underneath
thy wings!

NIV—For you have been my refuge, a
strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell
in your tent forever and take refuge in the
shelter of your wings.

Kenneth Copeland — Sing To The LordPosted by admin on December 9th, 2009

1 Chronicles 16:20-27
KJV—When they went from nation to
nation, and from one kingdom to another
people; He [the Lord] suffered no man to
do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings
for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine
anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; show
forth from day to day his salvation. Declare
his glory among the heathen; his marvelous
works among all nations. For great is the
Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to
be feared above all gods. For all the gods of
the people are idols: but the Lord made the
heavens. Glory and honour are in his presence;
strength and gladness are in his place.

Amp—When they went from nation to nation,
and from kingdom to another people,
He allowed no man to do them wrong;
yes, He reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My
prophets no harm.

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; show forth
from day to day His salvation. Declare His
glory among the nations, His marvelous
works among all peoples. For great is the
Lord and greatly to be praised; He also is
to be (reverently) feared above all so-called
gods. For all the gods of the people are
[lifeless] idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are [found] in His
presence; strength and joy are [found] in
His sanctuary.

Moffatt—Wandering from one nation to
another, and from realm to realm; but he
would not let a man oppress them, he
would punish kings on their account, saying,
“Never touch my chosen, my prophets
never harm.”

Sing, all the earth, to the Eternal, day
after day tell of his saving aid; let the heathen
hear his glory, let every nation know
the wonders he has done. For great is the
Eternal, loudly to be praised, and to be
feared above all gods; for all gods of the
nations are mere idols, but the Eternal made
the heavens; grandeur and majesty attend
him, splendour and joy are in his temple.

NIV—They wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another. He
allowed no man to oppress them; for their
sake he rebuked kings: “Do not touch my
anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim
his salvation day after day. Declare his glory
among the nations, his marvelous deeds
among all peoples. For great is the Lord and
most worthy of praise; he is to be feared
above all gods. For all the gods of the nations
are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy in his dwelling place.

Kenneth Copeland — The Prosperous are ProtectedPosted by admin on December 2nd, 2009

Protection is a vital part of being prosperous,
and it is shown throughout the
Bible as a promise to the people of God.

God is a Father. By His very nature, He
wants to protect and nurture His children.
The Father’s tender heart is revealed in many
scriptures. For example, Luke 13:34 says, “How
often would I have gathered thy children together, as a
hen doth gather her brood under her wings.” And
Psalm 91:4 says, “He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust.”

In Second Samuel 22:2-3, God is shown as
a strong refuge from danger: “The Lord is my
rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of
my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the
horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,
my saviour; thou savest me from violence.” He longs
to shield us beneath the shelter of His wings
and hide us in Himself. And He can do that
as long as we run into Him and not from
Him. When we are obedient and we draw
near to Him, He can act as a Father to us.

When we dwell beneath the shelter of
God’s wings, it’s the safest place to be. Even
Satan himself cannot touch a person who has
been surrounded by God’s hedge of protection
(Job 1:10). With Jesus as our Savior and
Lord, we have protection through His shed
blood. As we discussed earlier in this chapter,
protection and deliverance from danger are
some of the benefits included in salvation. So
stand on God’s promises concerning protection,
and “He shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalm 91:11).
