The Household of Faith
"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). According to Galatians 6:10, if you are born again, you are a member of the household of faith. "But, Brother Copeland, I just don't...
Alive In Christ
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Cor. 15:22) Adam sinned by disobeying God in the Garden of Eden. This sin separated not only Adam from God but also all of his descendants. From that time on everyone needed a Savior. All...
Agree With God
Let your heart agree with the following as you speak the words out of your mouth:Heavenly Father, I thank You today, because You are my Father. Because I have been born again, I am Your very own child, and You are my very own Father. Thank You, Father, for Your...
Don’t Waver!
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not...
The Sound of Symphonic Prayer
"If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" (Matt. 18:19 NKJ). In giving us this promise of answered prayer, Jesus used a musical term. In the original Greek the word translated agree is...
Don’t Allow the Thief Access through Fear
"…For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually" (Job 1:5). Have you ever cried, "stop thief!"? If so, it's more likely something was stolen or taken from you. Or perhaps someone died, or something...
Don’t Look at the Storm
"But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" (Matt. 14:30-31). If...
Facing Impossible Situations
Through meditation the creative ability of God is developed in our hearts. The things God wants to do for us must be conceived in our spirits before they become a reality in our lives. Luke 1:29-35 gives an example of how we can give birth to the Word of God in the...
I Believe God
"Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me." (Acts 27:25) Paul said this to the men that were with him in a boat in the middle of a storm, in the middle of the sea, when it was a sure thing that the boat was going...
Bad News is of the Devil
Last week a man wrote and asked this question. He said, "Why did Jesus come to earth? What was He really trying to do?" It's amazing to me, but some people still don't understand why Jesus did what He did. Well, here's the answer. First John 3:8 says, "He who sins...
