Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland Faith Quotes
#2 In
consistency, lies the power. Gloria Copeland
#4 Engage
(battle) with your faith, knowing Heaven will back you up! Gloria Copeland
#5 Engaging your faith brings wholeness and healing.
Gloria Copeland
#6 Until you settle the fact that God is Good and you can
trust Him with your life, your faith is never going to be great because you
will always draw back in fear. Gloria Copeland
#8 Prayer does not cause
faith to work, faith causes prayer to work! Gloria Copeland
#9 Faith
begins where the will of God is known. Kenneth Copeland
#10 Words of faith are the
currency of God’s kingdom. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#11 God always gets
involved with our words of faith. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#12 Choose faith-filled
words, not words of fear. Gloria Copeland
#14 You’ve heard the
phrase, “You are what you eat.” Well, the same is true in the spiritual realm.
You must feed your spirit “faith food” in order for it to be strong. God’s Word
is our food, and it contains the proper nutrients for building a strong spirit.
It is our primary source of spiritual strength. Gloria Copeland
#15 Faith believes God
under pressure. Gloria Copeland
#16 When you’re facing a
challenging situation, there is a very important way to get out of it: Don’t Complain. When you murmur, you
begin to talk unbelief—and you’re not giving the Lord any place to work. So,
don’t murmur in your tent like they did in Deuteronomy 1:27. Don’t speak
anything different than what God says. You are precious to God. He has a
tremendous investment in you. Give Him room to work. Gloria Copeland
#17 There’s no such thing
as an overnight success in the kingdom of God! Real strength and real growth
come as you consistently keep the Word before your eyes, in your ears and in
the midst of your heart. Not just when you want to or when you feel like it, but
constantly, like the seed, a little all the time. Gloria Copeland
#18 If we can believe for
it, God can bring it to pass. Gloria Copeland
#19 Did you know that most
people don't get healed because they aren't sure it's God's will? Study the
WORD and settle it in your heart today—GOD WANTS YOU WELL. Jesus never turned
anyone away, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Gloria Copeland
#20 We receive healing
from God by taking Him at His Word. We believe we are healed, not because we
feel healed or look healed at this moment but because God said we are. By
faith, we start talking like we’re healed. We start acting like we’re healed.
Before long, our bodies line up with God’s Word and it becomes apparent to
everyone that we truly are healed! Gloria Copeland
#21 “The just shall live
by faith” (Romans 1:17, Galations 3:11, Hebrews 10:38). We are born again by
faith. We fulfill the will of God in our lives by faith. If we’re sick, we
receive healing by faith. If we are broke, we get financial increase by faith.
If our kids are in trouble, we get them back into the fold of God by faith. We
receive anything and everything that we need from God…by faith! Gloria Copeland
#22 Faith is believing God
enough to talk and act as if His Word is true even when circumstances around us
would seem to indicate that it’s not. How do we get that kind of faith? Romans
10:17 tells us “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” So if
you want to get stronger faith, spend more time in the Word of God. Gloria
Copeland
#23 In the most critical
and difficult situations, Jesus was a man of few words. Throughout the Gospels,
whenever He spoke a faith command—whether He was dealing with circumstances,
sickness, death or the devil—He kept it brief. Think about it. He healed a leper
by saying simply, “I will; be thou clean.” He calmed a stormy sea with “Peace,
be still.” He raised a dead man with three words: “Lazarus, come forth.”
Kenneth Copeland
#24 In Mark 11:14, Jesus
even turned a fig tree in full bloom into a withered stump with nine words: “No
man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever.” Notice that Jesus spoke the desired
end result to that tree and nothing else. Nine words. He never said another
thing to it. As far as He was concerned, from that moment on, His act of faith
was past tense and so was the tree. Kenneth Copeland
#25 When it came to
teaching, Jesus sometimes talked all day long. But when He activated the
process of faith, although He spoke with boldness and got His point across, He
always kept it simple…and He always got the job done. Kenneth Copeland
#26 “That whosoever shall
say unto this mountain, ‘Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea’; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (verse 23). It strikes
me as significant that Jesus gave us just ten words to say to the mountain. He
kept the command simple. He told us to speak the end result, then turn around
and walk off, expecting our words to come to pass. Kenneth Copeland
#27 Hebrews 11:1 explains
that faith is the substance of things we hope for, and the evidence of what we
do not see. Faith is the force that gives substance—or tangibility—to the
intangible. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#28 Faith makes real to us
what we otherwise could only hope for. Let me give an example. The Lord says He
is our Provider (Philippians 4:19). But until faith gives substance to that
provision, we can’t see it, feel it, eat it or spend it. Faith—which means
trusting in, believing in and relying on the living God as our provision—causes
His provision to become tangible. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#29 Faith may give
substance to provision in the form of a raise, unexpected income, debt
cancellation, etc. The realities of the unseen come into the reality of the
seen through faith. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#30 The difference between
spiritual laws and physical laws is this: Spiritual laws control natural ones.
The force of faith finds its parameters in the “law of the Spirit of life in
Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:2). When activated, it will trump the “law of sin and
death” and give substance to life, every time! That means healing over
sickness, love over hate, peace over fear. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#31 Spend some time
reading your Bible until a verse seems to “leap off the page.” That is the Holy
Spirit making God's Word alive to you. As you believe that verse and act as if
it is true—because it is—it will open the door wide to God's blessings. Gloria
Copeland
#32 Most believers don't
pay much attention to hope. They don't think of it as very important. They
certainly don't consider it to be as important as faith. But the fact is, faith
won't function without hope. That's because “faith is the substance of things
hoped for” (Hebrews 11:1). Sometimes I say it this way, “Hope is the blueprint
of faith.” Kenneth Copeland
#33 When hope is lost,
faith loses its aim. It no longer has a mission to accomplish. It just scatters
uselessly in every direction. Kenneth Copeland
#34 Next time the devil
tries to tell you that you can't hear God's voice, remember that Jesus said His
sheep will know His voice and a stranger's voice they will not follow. That is
a promise of God to you today. You see, the Spirit of God will never guide you
in opposition to the written Word of God (John 16:13). So, if you're not
familiar with what the Word says, you'll find it more difficult to discern His
leading. Gloria Copeland
#35 Get familiar with
God's voice by meditating and studying the Word of God. Follow God's
instruction to Joshua and meditate on it day and night. Act on what you find in
the Word, not just when it's easy, but every time. Be obedient even in the
slightest things. Gloria Copeland
#36 That continual
obedience to the written Word will bring you into maturity and tune your inward
ear to the voice of the Spirit. You'll soon be able to recognize it as easily
as you recognize the voice of your dearest friend. Gloria Copeland
#37 The power of patience
is a working power. When faith has a tendency to waver, it is patience that
comes to faith's aid to make it stand. The power of patience is necessary to
undergird faith. Kenneth Copeland
#38 Almost everywhere you
find faith mentioned in the Bible, you also find patience. Faith and patience
are the power twins. Together they will produce every time. Patience without
faith has no power to call into reality the thing desired. Faith is the substance
of things we hope for. Patience without faith has no substance. Kenneth
Copeland
#39 On the other hand,
faith without patience many times will fail to stand firm on the evidence of
the Word that gives deed to things not seen. Jesus told Peter that he had
prayed for him that his faith fail not. Without the power of patience at work,
we will allow sensory knowledge—the things we see—to overwhelm our faith.
Kenneth Copeland
#40 Patience undergirds
faith and gives it endurance to persevere until the answer comes. Faith is a
powerful force. It always works. It is not that our faith is weak and needs
strength, but without the power of patience we ourselves stop the force of
faith from working with negative confession and action. It is our faith, and we
can put it into action. It is our faith, and we can stop it from working.
Kenneth Copeland
#41 Faith is a force that
is to be developed. The same scripture says that we are to be sound in faith.
Patience and faith are two individual forces. They work together the way faith
and love work together. All of these are different forces. They each play a
different role in our Christian lives. Kenneth Copeland
#42 It is dangerous to
confuse these forces and try to use one in the place of the other. For
instance, the Bible says in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things
hoped for. Hope without faith has no substance. People say, “We are hoping and
praying.” This sounds good but it has no substance. In this case, hope is being
confused with faith. Without the substance of faith that kind of praying will
not produce any results. Kenneth Copeland
#43 One of the most common
traditions and mistakes in this area of believing is that trials and
tribulations develop faith. Trials and tribulations do not develop
faith...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Kenneth
Copeland
#44 Trials and
tribulations develop patience. We have already learned from James Chapter 1
that this is true. The Apostle Paul says the same thing in Romans 5:3, “And not
only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience.” Kenneth Copeland
#45 Faith is developed as
we act on the Word of God. Hebrews 12:2 states that Jesus is the Author and
Finisher, or Developer of our faith. It does not say that Satan is the
developer of our faith. Kenneth Copeland
#46 It is vitally
important that we realize the difference between the developing of faith and
developing of patience. Faith should be developed on the Word of God before the
trial or testing comes. Kenneth Copeland
#47 Jesus said in Luke
6:47 that if a man acts on His words, he likened him unto a man who builds his
house on a rock. When the flood beat upon the house, the house did not fall.
Notice the man had to dig deep. This is where his faith was developed. During the
storm is when his patience was developed. He knew his house would stand because
it was built on rock. Kenneth Copeland
#48 Remember how Jesus
said the man built on that rock? He acted on the Word. Faith is developed
before the trial comes. The force of patience is developed in the trial or
tribulation and undergirds or keeps the door open for our faith to work and to
overcome whatever has been put before us. Kenneth Copeland
#49 The definition of
patience is being constant or being the same way at all times. James says in
Chapter 1 that we are to be single-minded. We must always respond or react in
every circumstance of life the same way—on the Word of God. Kenneth Copeland
#50 Regardless of what may
be thrown at us, we must become so Word-of-God minded that we do not act in
fear or doubt but always act on whatever the Word of our God says. Kenneth
Copeland
#51 Proverbs 2:2 agrees
with James 1:5-6, which says when you want wisdom, you must ask for it in faith
and not waver. Proverbs 2:2 takes that thought a step further and tells you to
direct your mind and your heart toward God's wisdom. You have to go after the
wisdom and knowledge of God, applying all of your powers—your concentration,
your energy, your efforts—to obtaining it. It has to become the quest of your
life. Gloria Copeland
#52 In fact, you must search for skillful and godly Wisdom as
for hidden treasures (Proverbs 2:4, AMP). The way to find
wisdom is to go after it with the same effort and desire that natural people go
after material wealth. The truth is, no one ever seeks after God with all their
heart without finding Him. Gloria Copeland
#53 One of my favorite
things about blind Bartimaeus is that he refused to let the people around him
discourage him. They did not have the faith in God's goodness that he had. The
crowd had such limited understanding of God's love that they thought Jesus would
not be interested in a seemingly worthless, blind beggar. Gloria Copeland
#54 But Bartimaeus had
heard about Jesus. No doubt he had heard of His mercy and kindness and His
healing power. And he believed. So when the people tried to shut him up, he
cried out all the louder, “Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!” Why did
he cry so loudly? Because he was convinced in his heart that if Jesus heard
him, He would answer. Jesus would deliver him. This was his chance of a
lifetime. Jesus heard him and when He did, He stood still and commanded that
Bartimaeus be called. Gloria Copeland
#55 Aggressive faith gets
Jesus' attention. Gloria Copeland
#56 What Bartimaeus did
next was one of the most beautiful expressions of faith recorded in the New
Testament. He threw off his cloak. By that act, he was making a very clear
statement. He was saying, “I'm not a blind man anymore. Jesus has heard me, and
I'm as good as healed!” Gloria Copeland
#57 Notice what Jesus
asked Bartimaeus next. He said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” (Verse 51
AMP). Bartimaeus said boldly, “Master, let me receive my sight” (Verse 51).
Bartimaeus was in perfect position to receive. Gloria Copeland
#58 God was looking to and
fro throughout the whole earth for someone to whom He could show Himself
strong...and He found Bartimaeus full of faith, speaking and acting with great
confidence in Jesus' goodness and power. The connection was made and Jesus said,
“Go your way; your faith has healed you” (Verse 52 AMP). Gloria Copeland
#59 I want you to be
impressed by Jesus' goodness and how willing He was to express that goodness.
Whatever those who came to Him for help said, He said. Jesus acted on their
words! He, being just like the Father, was easy to receive from. Gloria
Copeland
#60 When you've seen Jesus, you've seen the
Father (John 14:8-10). The Bible says, “Every good gift and
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). There is
no changing in Him. Gloria Copeland
#61 Jesus and the Father
are still going about doing good and healing all who will receive. “The Lord is
good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works” (Psalms 145:9).
Gloria Copeland
#62 Jesus is saying the
same thing to you today that He said to Bartimaeus. He is asking all who would
look to Him in faith, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus is alive and
well today and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is just as anointed
and compassionate today as He was when Bartimaeus sat by the roadside begging.
Gloria Copeland
#63 The Resurrected Lord,
the Messiah, is saying to you, “Receive your healing today! Receive your
deliverance today!” Gloria Copeland
#64 The purpose of
mountain-moving faith is to remove the things which come into our lives to
hinder us spiritually, mentally, financially or physically. Some people believe
that this promise only pertains to spiritual mountains. However, in Matthew
21:21, Jesus used faith-filled words to cause a fig tree to wither from the
roots and die. That was natural, not spiritual. Kenneth Copeland
#65 In Mark 11:22-26,
Jesus said, “whosoever,” so this is for the believer, not just for the minister
or someone with some kind of special calling. You have the potential to operate
in the same faith that I have. He also said, “When you stand praying, forgive.”
Operating in mountain-moving faith is dependent upon operating in forgiveness.
Faith pleases God, but faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). Kenneth Copeland
#66 It is impossible to
please God and to hold something in your heart against someone at the same
time. You forgive because you choose to forgive and because it pleases God, not
because you feel like doing it. Kenneth Copeland
#67 Mountain-moving faith
is centered around believing you receive (believing it is happening for you
now!). There is more to believing you receive than just having someone lay
hands on you and saying, “I believe I receive.” Kenneth Copeland
#68 In order to believe
you receive, you must establish in your heart that the Word of God is true. You
need a standard, something that will put you in agreement with God. The miracle
you need is already inside of you because God is in you. All you need is to
find the key that will open the door and release it. The key is getting your
spirit, soul and body in agreement with the Word. Kenneth Copeland
#69 “How can I get God's
mercy and grace flowing in my life?” Give Him an opening! He waits for you to
open the door to Him. How do you open that door? You'll find a clue in Romans
5:2. It says, “...we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand...”
Faith gives us access into His wonderful grace. God works the same way in every
area of life. When we believe Him and begin to speak in faith about His
blessings, we gain access to them. Gloria Copeland
#70 You get healed because
you've opened the door to the grace of healing by faith. Faith opens that door!
From the new birth to healing to prosperity—it's faith that gives you access to
every aspect of God's grace. You can't get around that principle. It's just the
way God works. Gloria Copeland
#71 “And Peter answered
him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.” “And he
said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter was come down out of the ship, He walked on the
water” (Matthew 14:28-29). It's easy to be so afraid of making a mistake that
you never get around to stepping out on faith. You can spend all your time
wondering, “Is this faith? Or is it presumption? What if I exercise my faith
for something and find out later I've missed God's will?” Don't worry. God can
handle any mistake you can make. Kenneth Copeland
#72 Patience undergirds and sustains faith until the result
is manifest. After you have meditated on the promises of God and have them in
your spirit, patience will encourage you to hold steady. Gloria Copeland
#73 Patience is power. It has the courage to refuse the lie
of Satan that says the Word is not working for you. It knows that God’s Word
has never failed. Patience will not draw back in fear but will press forward in
faith until you have the answer. Gloria Copeland
#74 When the results of your faith seem slow in coming,
don’t give up! Continue to put the Word first, with patience, and you will surely
receive the promise of God! Gloria Copeland
#75 Once you truly understand that you have the life of God inside you, you’ll
begin to act just like Jesus did. You’ll lay hands on the sick and they’ll
recover. You’ll cast out demons. You’ll preach the gospel to every creature.
Gloria Copeland
#76
Unbelief looks at the past and says, “See, it can’t be done.” But faith looks
at the future and says, “It can be done, and according to the promises of God,
it is done!” Then putting past failures behind it forever, faith steps out and
acts like the victory’s already been won. Kenneth Copeland
#77 God does not play
favorites. It’s God’s will for you to be healed. Period. You saw it happen in
Jesus’ ministry, when He was surrounded by multitudes of people, and He “healed
them all” (Luke 6:17-19, KJV). Gloria Copeland
#78 God said, “I will take
sickness away from the midst of thee...the number of thy days I will fulfil”
(Exodus 23:25-26, KJV). He says in Psalm 91:16, “With long life will I
satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (KJV). Gloria Copeland
#79 God has always
provided healing for the obedient. Psalms 103:2-3 (KJV) says, “Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine
iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” Many have forgotten God’s benefit of
healing for their bodies. Gloria Copeland
#80 If you had been taught
that it is God’s will to heal you in the same way that you were taught that it
is God’s will for you to be saved, you would have a different attitude toward
sickness. You are “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23, KJV). You
are healed the same way—by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. Gloria
Copeland
#81 Renew your mind to
this truth by planting the Word in your heart. See that Jesus bore your
sicknesses and carried your diseases at the same time and in the same manner
that He bore your sins. Plant the Word in your heart today and believe it: God
wants you well! Gloria Copeland
#82 The Apostle Paul
wrote, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee by the laying on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6, KJV). Notice,
Paul didn’t say to pray and get God to stir you up. He said, “You stir yourself
up.” Kenneth Copeland
#83 So many Christians
desire to operate in the gifts of the Spirit these days because they’re
responding to the stirring of God’s gifts within them. They sense the Church
shouldn’t just be reading about the manifestations of the Spirit in the Bible,
but rather, Christians should be walking in them! Kenneth Copeland
#84 So, how can we make
that happen? Paul answers that question himself. Right after he tells us to
earnestly covet the best spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31), he says, “…and
yet show I unto you a more excellent way” (KJV). Then, he writes an
entire chapter—on the subject of love. Kenneth Copeland
#85 “Pursue love, and
desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1, NKJV). According to the
Bible, a more excellent way to walk in the power of God is to pursue love.
Walking in love is the best way for the world to see Jesus through us. Kenneth
Copeland
#86 Acts 10:38 (KJV) tells
us, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” If
we’re going to do the works Jesus did, we need to do the same thing, right?
Then, we’ll bring healing and deliverance to those who are oppressed. Kenneth
Copeland
#87 Love destroys the
devil’s hold. It undermines his whole operation! Not only that, but love also
connects us to the oppression-destroying power of God. That power operates by
faith, and faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). God is Love (1 John 4:8). So, stir
up the gift of love within you! Kenneth Copeland
#88 Hope is the blueprint
of faith. Kenneth Copeland
#89
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Fear comes by hearing and
a hearing by the word of the devil—the lies of Satan. Kenneth Copeland
#90
There are two important elements of faith:
God’s Word that brings faith and your word that lets it go. Gloria Copeland
#91 You can’t overdose on
God’s medicine. In fact, the more Word you take, the stronger you become. You
have nothing to lose but sickness and disease. Gloria Copeland
#92 God loves us. His love
is the power behind our faith (Galations 5:6). Gloria Copeland
#93 Grace gives
healing—faith accepts it! Kenneth Copeland
#94 The Spirit of Power is
working in you. Kenneth Copeland
#95 Refuse to let doubt
and fear enter into your consciousness. Kenneth Copeland
#96 God is not
withholding. He’s the God of more than enough! Kenneth Copeland
#97 Faith is the connector
between God’s promises and you. Kenneth Copeland
#98 Words are spiritual
containers. Kenneth Copeland
#99 God replaces your seed
with a harvest, not dollar for dollar. Kenneth Copeland
#100 Faith won’t work in
an unforgiving heart. Kenneth Copeland
#101 Know who you are in
Christ, and the authority you have as a believer. You are an overcomer. Kenneth
Copeland
#102 The Holy Spirit gives
you power to live an abundant life today. Kenneth Copeland
#103
Learn to depend on the Holy Spirit. He will guide you into all truth. Gloria
Copeland
#104
If you’ll give the Word more time, it will give you more strength. Gloria
Copeland
#105
Obeying God’s Word is walking in God’s love. Gloria Copeland
#106
You may not feel able in yourself, but the Greater One lives in you, and He
makes you able. Gloria Copeland
#107
When you think about the overflow of all good things, what comes next? Joy!
What is there to be sad about? Nothing! Gloria Copeland
#108
Never base your faith on your feelings. Base it on God’s Word. Kenneth Copeland
#109
Faith-filled words change things. Kenneth Copeland
#110
Day after day, we each have opportunities to live right in the middle of God’s
perfect will. Gloria Copeland
#111
Faith is the confidence to think, to speak, to act on the words God has already
spoken. Gloria Copeland
#112 You may not feel able
in yourself, but the Greater One lives in you and He makes you able. Gloria
Copeland
#113 God is always
endeavoring to make His plan a reality in your life. Gloria Copeland
#114 God loves us. His
love is the power behind our faith. Galations 5:6. Gloria Copeland
#115 Fear brings bad things on you. Faith takes bad things from
you. Gloria Copeland
#116
Just as we would use a compass in
the natural to steer us in the right direction, we must set our spiritual
compass—our faith—to lead and guide us to God’s blessings. Kenneth Copeland
#117 The next time you find yourself
starting to grapple with fearful thoughts, protect your sound mind by
responding immediately, out loud, with the Word of God, and watch how fast the
devil runs from you. Kenneth Copeland
#118 It’s not enough just to be in the boat with Jesus. We
have to resist every wave of fear that would come crashing against us. Kenneth
Copeland
#119 If you’ll give the
Word more time, it will give you more strength! Gloria Copeland
#120
My faith must be strong enough to move my mouth. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#121
Never remove God from your situation. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#122
Joy is a harvesting factor! Kenneth Copeland
