Devotions
The Key to Pleasing is Receiving
“For he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Heb. 11:6). As a teenager and young adult, there were many times before I left home that I came to my earthly father, A.W. Copeland, with...
Living Stones In The House
“You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:5 NASB) God is building a spiritual house made of living stones....
Walk on the Water
. . . And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. (Matt. 14:29) In Matthew 14:28, Peter said, “…Lord if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.” Jesus said, “Come.” Peter stepped out of...
What Can You Believe?
“…But if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:22-23). A man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus and said, “If You can...

When You Miss It
“For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God” (1 John 3:20-21). If you’re a Christian, does the Holy Spirit condemn you if you do wrong? No. It is your...
Be Separate
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Cor. 6:17). We’re surrounded by a world which is ruled for the most part by Satan. How can we avoid getting caught...
Atmosphere for Miracles

The Kingdom of God is for Everyone
“So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man, which had not on a wedding...
