Kenneth Copeland — Fountain Of Life And Our SalvationPosted by admin on January 27th, 2010

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Psalm 36:7-10
KJV—How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O
God! therefore the children of men put their
trust under the shadow of thy wings. They
shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness
of thy house; and thou shalt make them
drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with
thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto
them that know thee; and thy righteousness
to the upright in heart.

Amp—How precious is Your steadfast love,
O God! The children of men take refuge
and put their trust under the shadow of
Your wings. They relish and feast on the
abundance of Your house, and You cause
them to drink of the stream of Your pleasures.
For with You is the fountain of life; in
Your light do we see light. O continue Your
loving-kindness to those who know You,
Your righteousness [salvation] to the upright
in heart.

Moffatt—How precious is thy love, O God!
To thee men come for shelter in the
shadow of thy wings; they have their fill of
choice food in thy house, the stream of thy
delights to drink; for life’s own fountain is
within thy presence, and in thy smile we
have the light of life. Continue thy love to
those who care for thee, thy justice to
right-minded men.

NIV—How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men find refuge
in the shadow of your wings. They feast on
the abundance of your house; you give
them drink from your river of delights. For
with you is the fountain of life; in your light
we see light. Continue your love to those
who know you, your righteousness to the
upright in heart.

Psalm 68:19-20
KJV—Blessed be the Lord, who daily
loadeth us with benefits, even the God of
our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is
the God of salvation; and unto God the
Lord belong the issues from death.

Amp—Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our
burdens and carries us day by day, even the
God Who is our salvation! Selah [pause, and
calmly think of that]! God is to us a God of deliverances
and salvation, and to God, the Lord,
belongs escape from death [setting us free].

Moffatt—Blessed be the Lord, our saving
God, who daily bears the burden of our life;
God is for us a God of victories, thanks to
the Eternal we escape from death.

NIV—Praise be to the Lord, to God our
Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Selah.
Our God is a God who saves; from the
Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.

Kenneth Copeland — From Egypt, To The WildernessPosted by admin on January 20th, 2010

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Exodus 3:7-8
KJV—The Lord said, I have surely seen the
affliction of my people which are in Egypt,
and have heard their cry by reason of their
taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I
am come down to deliver them out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them
up out of that land unto a good land and a
large, unto a land flowing with milk and
honey; unto the place of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Amp—The Lord said, I have surely seen
the affliction of My people who are in
Egypt, and have heard their cry because of
their taskmasters and oppressors; for I
know their sorrows and sufferings and
trials. And I have come down to deliver
them out of the hand and power of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that
land to a land good and large, a land flowing
with milk and honey—a land of plenty;
to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite,
the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and
the Jebusite.

Moffatt—The Eternal said, “I have indeed
seen the distress of my people in Egypt, I
have heard them wailing under their slavedrivers;
for I know their sorrows and I have
come down to rescue them from the
Egyptians and to bring them out of that
land to a fine, large land, abounding in milk
and honey, the country of the Canaanites,
the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites.”

NIV—The Lord said, “I have indeed seen
the misery of my people in Egypt. I have
heard them crying out because of their
slave drivers, and I am concerned about
their suffering. So I have come down to rescue
them from the hand of the Egyptians
and to bring them up out of that land into
a good and spacious land, a land flowing
with milk and honey—the home of the
Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,
Hivites and Jebusites.”

Nehemiah 9:21
KJV—Yea, forty years didst thou sustain
them in the wilderness, so that they lacked
nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and
their feet swelled not.

Amp—Forty years You sustained them in
the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their
clothes did not wear out and their feet did
not swell.

Moffatt—For forty years thou didst support
them in the desert, and they lacked for
nothing; their clothes never grew old, and
their feet never blistered.

NIV—For forty years you sustained them
in the desert; they lacked nothing, their
clothes did not wear out nor did their feet
become swollen.

Kenneth Copeland — A Great Nation And Many DescendantsPosted by admin on January 13th, 2010

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Genesis 12:1-3
KJV—Now the Lord had said unto Abram….
I will make of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee, and make thy name great; and
thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless
them that bless thee, and curse him that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of
the earth be blessed.

Amp—Now [in Haran], the Lord said to
Abram….I will make of you a great nation,
and I will bless you [with abundant increase
of favors] and make your name famous and
distinguished, and you shall be a blessing—
dispensing good to others. And I will bless
those who bless you [who confer prosperity
or happiness upon you], and curse him
who curses or uses insolent language toward
you; in you shall all the families and
kindred of the earth be blessed—by you
they shall bless themselves.

Moffatt—Said the Eternal to Abram….“I will
make a great nation of you and bless you
and make you famous for your bliss; those
who bless you, I will bless, and anyone who
curses you I will curse, till all nations of the
world seek bliss such as yours.”

NIV—The Lord had said to Abram….“I will
make you into a great nation and I will
bless you; I will make your name great, and
you will be a blessing. I will bless those who
bless you, and whoever curses you I will
curse; and all peoples on earth will be
blessed through you.”

Genesis 26:1-3
KJV—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared unto him [Isaac],
and said…Sojourn in this land, and I will be
with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee,
and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath which I
sware unto Abraham thy father.

Amp—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared to him [Isaac], and
said…Dwell temporarily in this land, and I will
be with you and will favor you with blessings;
for to you and to your descendants I will
give all these lands, and I will perform the
oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

Moffatt—When a famine visited the land….
The Eternal appeared to him [Isaac], saying…
Reside in this land, and I will be with you and
bless you [[for to you and your descendants
I give all this region; I will ratify the oath I
swore to your father Abraham.]]

NIV—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared unto [Isaac], and
said…Sojourn in this land, and I will be with
thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and
unto thy seed, I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath which I sware
unto Abraham thy father.

Kenneth Copeland — Well-beingPosted by admin on January 6th, 2010

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

2 Thessalonians 3:3
KJV—The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish
you, and keep you from evil.

Amp—The Lord is faithful and He will
strengthen [you] and set you on a firm foundation
and guard you from the evil [one].

Moffatt—The Lord is faithful; he will be
sure to strengthen you and protect you
from the Evil one.

NIV—The Lord is faithful, and he will
strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Well-being
Well-being is defined in Webster’s Dictionary
as “the state of being well, happy or prosperous.”
Truly, all is well in your life when
you and your loved ones are healthy,
happy and prosperous.

Psalm 35:27 says the Lord “delights in the
well-being of his servant” (New International
Version). And 3 John 2 says, “I pray that you may
prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep
well even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers”
(The Amplified Bible). The Lord is concerned
about our total well-being.

The Scriptures repeatedly tell us that it
will be well with those who obey the Lord
and do what is right in His sight. Then He is
free to bless them in every way.

God doesn’t wait for circumstances to be
perfect before He blesses His people.
Romans 4:17 says He calls “those things which be
not as though they were.” So our well-being is
not tied to circumstances, it is tied to God
and His Word. He can create whatever He
needs to bless us. He can bless us in the
midst of a famine just as easily as when
things are in abundance (Genesis 26:1-3). He
blessed the children of Israel while they
wandered in the wilderness, and He blessed
Joseph while he was in captivity. He even
blessed Abraham and Sarah with a child
when, in the natural, it was impossible—and
went on to make Abraham the “father of
many nations” as He had promised (Genesis
17:4-5). So we don’t have to wait until someday
in the future, when everything is just
right, for God to bless us with well-being.
He wants to do it today!
