TM
Son, I have called you to feed My
people. They are out of balance. They are
physically developed. They’re mentally
developed. Some are so developed
mentally that they can hardly hold their
heads up. I’ll show you how to feed My
people and build them up spiritually until
they become balanced.
Those were the words Kenneth
Copeland heard the Lord speak to him
nearly 60 years ago, in 1966, during a
meeting at Oral Roberts University in
Tulsa, Okla. More than a decade later,
Kenneth recalls, God gave him further
confirmation of that commission, telling
him, I am building a sanctuary for this
ministry.
The fulfillment of that commission
was the goal as the doors of the Tarrant
County Convention Center in Fort Worth,
Texas, swung open on Aug. 17, 1981,
for the first-ever Southwest Believers’
Convention. Joining Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland in that historic and powerfully
anointed six-day meeting were speakers
Jerry Savelle, Norvel Hayes, Charles
Capps, John Osteen, Hilton Sutton and
T.L. Osborn.
In the 45 years since, SWBC has
remained committed to taking believers
around the world from the milk to the
strong meat of God’s Word; seeing
them become totally immersed in God’s
Word—maturing and developing in the
Word of Faith.
The goal will be the same this July 27
when the 45th annual SWBC gets under-
way at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
What will be different, however, will be
the obvious sense of celebration and
nostalgia as KCM hosts what could
possibly be its last meeting in the
convention center’s present location.
The convention center is currently
undergoing major expansion and
renovation that will extend to and
beyond 2027. This could mean that the
building’s arena would not be available
for Southwest next year.
In addition, the meeting marks a
historic landmark as, after more than 58
years and millions of miles crisscrossing
the globe and preaching the gospel,
Kenneth Copeland is coming off the road
and bringing his ministry home to Fort
Worth.
“It’s not retirement,” says Kenneth,
adding that he is following God’s
mandate that he “focus on rest, renewal
and a deeper connection with our
Partners.”
This special edition of BVOV takes
a look back at the first SWBC through
articles adapted from the teachings of
some of its speakers.
Many of you have been along for most,
if not all, of this inspiring journey. Others
have connected with us along the way.
We rejoice that you chose to allow the
SWBC to be part of your spiritual growth
and maturity, and we look forward to
spending many more years together with
you.
Thank you, Partners and Friends,
for being part of this exciting piece of
history.

THE HOMECOMING!
I attended my first Southwest Believers’
Convention in August 1997, just two months
after coming to work for Kenneth Copeland
Ministries. But it was long before that when
I first heard about the six-day meeting that
took place each year in Fort Worth, Texes, in
what was then known as the Tarrant County
Convention Center.
During the mid-1980s, when we lived in
Winston-Salem, N.C., hardly a weekday
went by that I didn’t slip a cassette into the
tape player to record Kenneth Copeland’s
15-minute radio broadcast, called Believer’s
Voice of Victory. As young Christians, my
wife, Edna, and I were hungry for the Word
of God and never wanted to miss anything
Brother Copeland taught.
Our excitement was always heightened each
year when the radio program’s announcer
invited listeners to join Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland, and thousands of believers,
to gather in Fort Worth for the annual
Southwest Believers’ Convention. In those
days, however, a trip to Texas wasn’t in the
budget. But that didn’t stop us from believing
to one day be part of those meetings, or
imagining being immersed in an atmosphere
of faith, surrounded by thousands of fellow
Christians and saturated in God’s Word.
I’m reminded of those days every year at this
time as we prepare for another SWBC. The
difference, though, is that instead of being
1200 miles away, the Fort Worth Convention
Center, and the SWBC, are now only
about a 20-minute drive. And for the past
28 years, we’ve been blessed with the
opportunity to attend the meetings—LIVE!
We plan to be there again this year, armed
with the same excitement and expectation
we had those many years ago.
We’re calling this event “The
HOMECOMING,” and for good reason.
Check out the feature article that begins on
the next page to learn more. Then, make
plans to join us July 27-Aug. 1, right here
in Fort Worth, and prepare to be blessed
by the faith-filled preaching, teaching and
fellowship that always shows up at the
Southwest Believers’ Convention.
We hope to see you there!

When Kenneth Copeland
stepped onto the platform at
the first Southwest Believers’
Convention in August 1981,
he was taking a major step in fulfilling a
vision and call the Lord had given him nearly
15 years earlier.
In 1966, Kenneth was still basking in
the anointing after Brother Oral Roberts
laid hands on him in a ministry line, when
God opened his eyes to see the spiritual
condition of believers as he’d never seen it
before.
Suddenly the bodies of the believers
passing before Brother Roberts for ministry
were transparent. Only a vague outline could
be seen. Though physically healthy in most
cases, their spirits were so scrawny and
sickly they could hardly walk. Yet, on top of
each emaciated little spirit body was a huge
head.
“I asked The LORD what this was,”
Kenneth recalls,” and He said: These are My
people…. Their spirits have been starved.
Their heads are full of religious knowledge
at the expense of the spirit man. There’s no
Faith in there. They’re just starved out—a lot
of religion, very little Faith.
“Then I asked The LORD why He showed
this to me, and He said, I’ve called you and
anointed you to do something about this.
“What I saw that day broke me. It hit me
so hard that for days I couldn’t think about
it without just weeping. I learned later that
it was the compassion of God that I was
experiencing in their behalf.”
That compassion, and the commission
from the Lord to “do something about this,”
was the goal as the doors of the Tarrant
County Convention Center in Fort Worth,
Texas, swung open Aug. 17, 1981, for the
first-ever SWBC. Joining Kenneth and Gloria
Copeland in that historic and powerfully
anointed six-day meeting were speakers
Jerry Savelle, Norvel Hayes, Charles
Capps, John Osteen, Hilton Sutton and
T.L. Osborn.
The Southwest Believers’ Convention
would go on to become KCM’s flagship
meeting—the single largest meeting in the
ministry’s annual lineup of conventions,
Victory Campaigns and personal meetings
that have been held across the country and
around the world now for nearly 60 years.
“When I asked The LORD all those
years ago, ‘What do You want out of these
meetings? What is our specific purpose?’ He
said to me, I want you to conduct meetings
where people can totally immerse in The
WORD of God. Get into The WORD of God
and stay there! Talk about Faith and the
integrity of The WORD—talk about it and talk
about it and talk about it…there is a people
in the land today who have enough hunger
for My WORD to come and sit under that
kind of intensive exposure.”

Total immersion in God’s Word.
It was the goal then, and it will not be any
different on July 27 when the doors of the
Fort Worth Convention Center, in downtown
Fort Worth, swing open for the 45th year in
a row to usher believers into the presence
of God at this years’ SWBC. What will be
different, however, is that this will be the last
in a nearly 50-year run of meetings in the
present arena.
The convention center, which spans
nearly 15 blocks of the city’s central
business district, is currently undergoing
major renovations and expansion to the
facility. Renovation of the arena is scheduled
for 2027, which will render the space
unavailable for Southwest next year. Phase
1 of this massive project has already been
completed. A second phase is set to begin
later this year, with the project scheduled to
be completed in 2030.
While the Southwest Believers’
1982
circa 1986
Convention will continue
to be held in or near
the downtown business
district, talks are ongoing
to determine a new
location.
West Coast Beginnings
For three years before
the first Southwest
Believers’ Convention
was held in 1981, KCM
hosted the West Coast
Believers’ Convention, a
six-day meeting held in
Anaheim, Calif.
“The word of The
LORD had come to me
and said, I am building
a sanctuary for this
ministry,” Kenneth recalls
of those early days.
“But there wasn’t any
Southwest at that time
because the building had
not been constructed.
“When we first started
meeting out there on
the West Coast, they
didn’t want to rent us
the main auditorium at
the Anaheim Convention
Center because they
didn’t know us,” Kenneth explains. “They
said, ‘We’d rent the auditorium to you, but
we don’t know anything about you, and
we’ve never heard of anybody going to
church for six days.’”
Instead of taking place in the convention
center’s main auditorium, the first West
Coast Believers’ Convention started out in
a small space in the building’s exhibition hall
area, called the California Room.
“I don’t remember the size of that room,
but it was nowhere near the size of the
auditorium,” Kenneth remembers. “People
jammed into that California Room so quickly
that, before we knew it, the folks there
came back to us and asked, ‘When would
you like the auditorium?’ We went into the
main auditorium, and
remained there until The
LORD said to stop doing
the West Coast meeting
and just do Southwest.”
On Aug. 17, 1981, the
ministry launched its first
Southwest Believers’
Convention in the Tarrant
C o u n t y C o n v e n t i o n
Center. Registration for
the meeting reached
a staggering 13,330—
the highest of any
c o n v e n t i o n i n t h e
ministry’s history up to
that point. People came
from all 50 states and
the District of Columbia,
as well as 23 foreign
nations.
In the years since,
attendance at Southwest
has continued to climb—
reaching well into the
tens of thousands.
The Homecoming!
This year’s meeting will
represent a significant
landmark—not just in the
history of the convention
itself, but in Kenneth’s personal life and
ministry as well. Not only will this be the
final Southwest Believers’ Convention in
the arena it has called home for the past
45 years; it also marks a “homecoming”
for Kenneth, who has spent the last 58
years taking the message that Jesus Is Lord
around the world.
“It’s not retirement,” Kenneth explains.
“It’s Operation Homefront: Code Name,
Available. It’s about following a mandate
from The LORD to now focus on rest,
renewal and being available to our Partners.
“I was 30 years old when I started this
ministry. The LORD has instructed me that
58 years is enough. He said, You’ve traveled.
Gone all over the world. I don’t want you to
B VOV : 7
circa 1992
circa 1985
do that anymore. I want you to just stay here.
Spend more time with your students and
with your staff and rest.”
Speaking candidly, Kenneth described the
aftermath of suffering a ruptured disc and
how the Lord chastened him.
“He chewed me out when that disc
ruptured the first time,” Kenneth recalled.
“He told me, I created you to rest 52 days
a year. You don’t rest 52 days in five years,
and now you see what happened. I didn’t do
that. You did it to yourself. You let yourself
get too busy.
“He said it was time for me to come off
the road, to stay home, and spend more
time with my staff and the students at KCBC
(Kenneth Copeland Bible College), and rest.
And now, by coming home, I can do that. I
can really spend some quality time listening
to God—praising Him and listening to Him in
the quietness.”
To commemorate these significant
landmarks in the history of the Southwest
Believers’ Convention, this special edition of
BVOV revisits the first SWBC through articles
adapted from teachings by some of the
speakers. In a word delivered through the late
John Osteen, the Lord said of this historic
first meeting: I’m sending a Word revival to
cause the Church to know who they are in
Jesus Christ. And they will arise like a giant
and they will go forth into a darkened world,
saturating them with My glory and My power.
And they’ll cast out demons and heal the sick
and bring deliverance to mankind. And I will
show My glory in your generation.
From then until now, those words have rung
true as the power of God has been evidenced
in every SWBC. Southwest has continued
to be a catalyst for change in the lives of
hundreds of thousands as, year in and year
out, new Kingdom keys have been revealed
and new strength infused into their lives.
We’re grateful for the hundreds of
thousands of Partners and Friends who have
chosen to journey with us throughout the
years. We look forward to seeing what God
has in store in the years to come.

Adapted from 7 p.m. teaching on Monday, August 17, 1981
In the
Footsteps of
B VOV : 11
When I was playing high school football, I always
grinned when guys showed up at the start of the
season saying, “I’m going to try this out!” I knew right
away what was going to happen. When they got out
on the field, they were going to get hammered…and
they weren’t going to make the team.
One reason I knew this was because I understood
what they were up against. They were going to
be facing guys whose greatest thrill in life was to
flatten each other. Guys who pushed themselves
almost to the breaking point all week long to get
in shape. Guys who put up with sore muscles,
bruises, bloody noses and whatever else they had
to endure—all to play a game they didn’t even get
paid for.
When you’re playing against a bunch of guys
like that, the “try this out” mentality doesn’t cut it.
You have to absolutely love the game. You have to
be determined to play—and play to win. You have
to want it so much that even when you’re losing,
you’re saying, “Somehow, I’m going to succeed at
this!”
Otherwise, you won’t last long at all. You’ll get the
wind knocked out of you and end up running for
the locker room while the rest of the team is still out
there on the field, fighting to win.”
In my years as a believer, I’ve discovered
something similar is true about living by Faith in
God. It’s the most thrilling, powerful adventure
there is, but it doesn’t work for those who take a
wait-and-see attitude. It doesn’t produce results for
people who just hear a few messages about it and
say, “I think I’ll give that Faith stuff a try.” If you want
to win at the life of Faith, you have to really want it.
You have to take the same attitude Abraham did in
the Bible.
Talk about someone who wanted to walk by Faith!
Abraham set the standard!
He wanted to walk in the manifestation of God’s
power more than anything else on earth. He wanted
it more than he wanted his family. He wanted it more
than he wanted his own life. He wanted God so
much that he’d believe and act on His WORD no
matter what anyone else thought or said about it.
You can see that by how he responded when God
told him, at 100 years old, that he and his 90-year-
old wife were going to have a baby. He not only had
audacity enough to believe it, he made a public
announcement: “I’m the father of many nations,” he
said. “From now on, don’t call me Abram anymore.
Call me Abraham, the Father of a Multitude!”
Can you imagine how people reacted to that? They
must have treated Abraham like a laughingstock.
They might not have mocked him to his face because
he was the richest man around; but behind his back,
I’m sure they pointed at him and snickered, “That
old man has taken leave of his senses! There’s no
way he and his old, barren wife are going to have
children at their age. It’s impossible.”
While they were scoffing, however, Abraham
was believing. He was refusing to be moved by
impossibilities. As Romans 4:19-21 says: “Being
not weak in faith, he considered not his own body
now dead, when he was about an hundred years
old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to
God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had
promised, he was able also to perform.”
When it came to living by Faith in God’s WORD,
Abraham was as rugged and determined as they
come. Like those guys I used to play football with,
he was all-in— 100% committed to believing God.
Exactly what kind of Faith did Abraham
have? He had the same kind God uses!”
“
12 : B VOV
As a result, he obligated God, as his covenant
partner, to do the same. He put God in the
position where He was bound by covenant
to sacrifice His own Son for the sake of all
mankind.
Up until Abraham, God hadn’t found that
kind of Faith on the earth. He’d found some
people who would believe Him for financial
BLESSINGS or for healing. But no one had
ever believed God to raise someone from the
dead—and when Abraham offered Isaac, that’s
exactly what he was believing God would do.
Abraham wasn’t brokenhearted and crying
the day he took Isaac to the altar, like the silly
Hollywood movies portray him. He had the fire
of Faith flashing in his eyes. He was “accounting
that God was able to raise [Isaac] up, even from
the dead; from whence also he received him in
a figure” (Hebrews 11:19).
As far as Abraham was concerned, the
outcome was certain. God had said, “In Isaac
shall thy seed be called” (Genesis 21:12);
and Abraham absolutely believed it. He fully
expected to sacrifice that boy and then watch
God raise him up from the ashes. Of course,
God sent the ram to take Isaac’s place, so his
blood was never shed…but ultimately, what
Abraham believed came to pass.
Jesus died on the cross as God’s sacrifice
to set us free from sin and the curse, and after
He spent three days in the heart of the earth,
Abraham’s Faith finally bore fruit. His Faith for
resurrection slammed together with the power
of Almighty God, and Jesus was raised from
the dead!
If you’re wondering how Abraham’s Faith,
which was released thousands of years before
the cross, could have anything to do with
Jesus’ resurrection, it’s because there’s no time
in God. It doesn’t make any difference to Him
if it’s a thousand years, 10 minutes or a split
second. God doesn’t forget anything except
the sins we put under the blood of Jesus. Every
ounce of Faith any of us have ever released is
The Same Kind of Faith God Uses
You and I, as born-again believers, can have
the same kind of attitude! When we see in
God’s WORD that by the stripes of Jesus we
were healed, we can choose to consider not
the symptoms of sickness in our body. We can
jump up in Faith and say, “Yes, Sir! I am the
healed of The LORD!”
When we see that our Covenant with God
declares that His BLESSING makes us rich and
adds no sorrow to it, we can say, “Yes, amen!
I am BLESSED and I am rich!” We can believe
God 100%, regardless of what our bank
account or other people might say about it.
“Yeah, but Brother Copeland, I just don’t
have that kind of Faith.”
The Bible says you do. It refers to all of us
who believe in Jesus as those who “walk in
the steps of that faith of our father Abraham”
(Romans 4:12).
Exactly what kind of Faith did Abraham have?
He had the same kind God uses! No human
being ever had that kind of Faith until Abraham
came along. But he caught hold of it and once
he did, he used it to the max. He actually
believed God to the point that he perpetuated
his seed to a thousand generations. He put so
much Faith in his covenant with God that there
was no way God could ever annul that covenant
or call it off. As He said to Abraham in Genesis
22:16-18: “By myself have I sworn, for because
thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld
thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will
bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy
seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the
sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed
shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in
thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
Notice that, according to those verses,
Abraham’s Faith in God was so strong he didn’t
withhold from Him even his own son. He went
up the mountain and put Isaac on the altar of
sacrifice simply because God asked him to.
B VOV : 13
still on record with Him.
You might have believed God for something
35 years ago and then let go of it, but as far
as God is concerned that Faith is still in force.
If you’ll stand on your Covenant rights, you
can reconnect with it and pick up right where
you left off. You can get back on your Faith
in that area and receive the fulfillment of the
promises that are yours through Abraham’s
covenant with God.
A Covenant With God on Both Ends
“But Brother Copeland,” you might say, “as
a New Covenant believer, God’s promises to
me aren’t through Abraham, they’re through
Jesus. They’re mine because of what He did.”
That’s absolutely true. It was also true for
Abraham. His was a covenant with God on
both ends. Read in Genesis 15 about how
God established it, and you’ll see what I mean.
When He cut His covenant with Abraham, He
came down Himself, walked in the blood of
the sacrificial animals, and made covenant
promises to Abraham’s Seed. “He saith not,
and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And
to thy seed, which is Christ” (Galatians 3:16).
Abraham’s covenant had God Almighty on
one side, and His Son, Jesus, on the other!
God basically said to Abraham, “If you’ll
believe this covenant and act on it, I’ll treat
you just like I treat Jesus. You’ll be able to
approach Me with the same confidence He
does, and I’ll receive you and treat you like
you’ve never sinned.”
God has said the same thing to us in the
New Covenant. He’s not saying, “Get away
from Me, you sinner.” He has invited us to
come boldly to His throne of grace. He’s
saying to us, “I’ve wiped out your sin and I’m
no longer holding it against you. You’ve been
washed in the blood of the Lamb and if you’ll
walk before Me by Faith in Him, I’ll treat you
like you never sinned!”
This is the reason we can follow in the
footsteps of Abraham’s Faith. We’re in on the
same covenant; Galatians 3 confirms this.
It says clearly, “They which be of faith are
blessed with faithful Abraham… For ye are all
the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all
“TALK ABOUT
someone WHO WANTED
TO WALK BY FAITH!
ABRAHAM SET
THE standard!... NO
HUMAN BEING EVER
HAD THAT kind of Faith
UNTIL ABRAHAM
CAME ALONG.”
14 : B VOV
You can’t separate a head from a body and
expect it to keep functioning. For life to keep
flowing, the two have to be united. That’s why
no one ever says when I walk into a room,
“Here comes Kenneth and his body.” They just
say, “There’s Kenneth,” because my head and
my body are one.
The same is true spiritually with the Body of
Christ. As Jesus said in John 17:23, we’re one
with Jesus and with each other just as Jesus
and the Father are one. Jesus is in us, God is in
Him, and we’re in God “made perfect in one.”
It’s time we renewed our minds to this and
stopped separating ourselves from each other.
We need one another! We have to have one
another to walk “in the unity of the faith, and of
the knowledge of the Son of God” (Ephesians
4:13).
There’s too much at stake here for us to let
petty doctrinal differences and offenses drive
us apart. Believing God for the fullness of the
manifestation of God’s power among us is too
important! It’s worth more than anything else
in the world, and the only way we’re going
to have it is by working together in unity—by
clinging to each other in Love (Faith works by
Love), praying for each other, and releasing our
Faith on each other’s behalf.
Do you know what happens when we come
together like that? We become more than just
individual Christians wandering around on the
field of life trying to do something for God. We
become a Faith team! We become a spiritual
version of that wild bunch of winners I played
football with in high school.
That’s the kind of team God is putting together
in these last days before Jesus returns. It’s a
team of believers who absolutely Love God,
Love each other and Love living by Faith in
God’s WORD. It’s a team of believers who are
in this for keeps, and who are 100% committed
to running roughshod over the devil.
It’s a God squad of people like you and me
who were born again to walk in the footsteps of
Abraham’s Faith!
one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then
are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to
the promise” (verses 9, 26-29).
Look again at the last verse. It refers to you
and me, as believers, as Abraham’s “seed.”
The word seed there is singular, talking about
us just as it is in verse 16 when it’s referring
to Jesus. That’s important. It lets us know
that when it comes to walking in the Faith of
Abraham, we’re all in this together. We’re one
with Jesus and He’s one with us.
In times past, our failure to realize this has
hindered our walk of Faith. We stumbled
around more than we should have because
we fragmented the Body of Christ. We divided
ourselves up until we forgot that when we’re
talking about believers, we’re talking about
Jesus; and when we’re talking about Him,
we’re talking about the whole Church. He’s the
Head and we’re the Body.

Every Joint Supplies!
I called KCM for a prayer of
agreement for financial provision.
I had fallen behind due to
unemployment. Recently, a few
anonymous benefactors from my

All is Well
I called to share that my friend’s
surgery went very well. The doctor
had said the one stent he put in 15
years ago was clogged and did not
give much hope. He even said my
friend would not pull through.
However, when they went in to do
the surgery, everything was good!
Praise the Lord and thank you for
your prayers. C.L. | British Columbia
What’s Your Confession?
I looked up confessions for healing
and found one from KCM. I started
saying it, along with speaking to
every organ by name. One day, my
appendix ruptured and I went to
the hospital. I was told I shouldn’t
be alive as the toxic infection
went throughout my organs, but
because of those confessions my
organs were protected!

New Creation In Christ
I am currently incarcerated
in a detention centre, and
sometimes I feel the very
life being drained out of
me. However, through the
resources sent to me by
KCM, I found God and gave
my life to Him. I am now a
new Christian. Thank you!

VICTORY
Testimonies of Real-Life
Pets Matter Too
My dog started hemorrhaging recently and there
wasn’t a vet nearby that was open. So, I decided to
call the KCM prayer line. The prayer minister prayed
that the Lord would stop the bleeding, and my dog
has not bled since! W.D. | Washington
Prayer Works
I called the prayer team to pray
about my upcoming blood tests.
We prayed together and believed for
excellent results. I am so thankful
to share that the results came back
exactly as we haved prayed. This
was such an encouragement to me
and a reminder of God’s faithfulness.
I truly appreciate your prayer support
and give all glory to God for this
outcome. L.E. | Ontario

the miracle of new life, and for
answering our prayers. Thank You,

‘For His Glory’!
I praise Jesus and
give Him all the
glory for my 4-year-
old granddaughter’s
healing. Some weeks
ago, she was sick
with stomach flu
and couldn’t keep
anything down.
The doctor said it
was a respiratory
chest infection. She
was losing weight
quickly. I called
KCM and spoke to a
prayer warrior, who
prayed with me and
agreed that she was
healed. About a day
and a half later, she
began to eat and
have energy again!
KCM prayer
warriors and all the
Copeland family in
ministry, thank you
for allowing God to
use you for His glory.
All glory to our
Father, Son and Holy
Spirit! Jesus Is Lord!

Knit Together:
The Miracle Within
I want to thank God the Father
and the prayer team at KCM for
praying for me and my family. I had

my wife and me with a child, as we
were struggling with infertility and
had experienced a miscarriage. I

If you do not know
Jesus as your Savior
and Lord, simply pray the
following prayer in faith, and
Jesus will be your Lord!
Heavenly Father, I come
to You in the Name of Jesus.
Your Word says, “Whosoever
shall call on the name of the
Lord shall be saved” and
“If thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved”
(Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9).
You said my salvation would
be the result of Your Holy
Spirit giving me new birth
by coming to live in me
(John 3:5-6, 15-16; Romans
8:9-11) and that if I would
ask, You would fill me with
Your Spirit and give me
the ability to speak with
other tongues
(Luke 11:13; Acts 2:4).
I take You at Your Word.
I confess that Jesus is Lord.
And I believe in my heart that
You raised Him from the dead.
Thank You for coming into my
heart, for giving me Your Holy
Spirit as You have promised,
and for being Lord over
my life. Amen.

Jesus?

shouldn’t they? Are we not workers together
with the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:1)? Are we not
directed by the same Holy Spirit? Then why
shouldn’t we feed one another and be used of
God to inspire each other?
But we haven’t seen anything yet. God is
ready, and the Church must come into its
full maturity and shift into the highest gear of
productivity the world has ever known.
God keeps revealing to us, in His Word, what
He’s doing and what He’s going to do next.
Years ago when I was growing up in the Church,
I heard people say, “You never know what God
is going to do.” We didn’t realize that’s not what
the Word tells us.
We are better students of the Word now
than any previous generation of the Church.
But we don’t have as much time as previous
generations had. We must give more diligence
to the Word so we can accomplish the
tremendous assignment God has given us in
the short time remaining.
The Church Age concludes with the catching
up of the glorious Church. Not a defeated
Church, not a sick Church, not a Church that’s
been beaten black and blue, driven underground,
trying to hold out till the end—but a glorious
Church! A glorious Church is a dynamic Church!
A glorious Church is a successful Church! A
That means that this great Southwest Believers’
Convention was ordered of God. It isn’t
something that Kenneth Copeland decided to
do because he didn’t have anything else to do.
Every one of us is here by the divine order of
God. I know I am here by the absolute will of
Almighty God.
From the time this first Southwest Believers’
Convention was announced, people began
asking how I became one of the speakers. I
said, “Because I’m a believer. I preach from the
same Book. We have the same vision.”
God has called us all according to His divine
plan, and we all fit into it. Aren’t you glad we
don’t all sound alike? If we did, some people
would never get ministered to. That’s why God
has raised up such a variety. Together, we offer
to you the complete ministry of our Lord Jesus.
Ephesians 4:11-13 says, “And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
for the perfecting of the saints, for the work
of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man….” This scripture lets us know the
unity requested in John 17 is on the way in the
Body of Christ. It’s beginning to take hold.
As I listened to the other speakers, I realized
that almost every one ministered on subjects
they had learned from someone else. And why
God is a God of divine order.
He has everything planned.
Nothing happens by chance.
B VOV : 19
glorious Church is a productive Church! A
glorious Church is a smart Church—mature,
holy, pure and super anointed.
Where do we get that kind of smart? By
growing in the grace and knowledge of the
Lord and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
You’re Headed for Great Faith!
Folks, that’s what’s happening in these
conventions! God has raised up the most
outstanding faith teachers in the history of
the Church for us. Why? Because we are
the concluding generation of the age of the
Church. We must be the generation that gets
our act together and accomplishes exploits
for God on a scale the world has not yet seen!
In Luke 18:8, Jesus asked His disciples,
“When the Son of man cometh, shall he find
faith on the earth?” The only answer for even
a new believer with little faith is, yes!
We are people of faith. There may be times
“How marvelous it is to discover that
God is a God of order and a master creator.”

of the earth. As the Church, we’re to move
with authority and power, wearing the armor
of God, using the weapons of our warfare that
are mighty through God to the pulling down of
strongholds.
The Church is the representative of Almighty
God and Jesus Christ on the earth. Jesus said
in Matthew 16:18, “I will build my church; and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
That means He will start it and finish it.
If Paul said in Ephesians 5:27 that the Lord
will present to Himself a glorious Church
having neither spot, wrinkle nor blemish, that’s
exactly the way it will be—a glorious Church.
To understand spots and blemishes, carefully
read 2 Peter 2:9-20.
You know why it has taken us so long? We
don’t have our act together with one another!
The Holy Spirit wants us to recognize each
other as members of the same family. We
are all born again and energized of the Spirit
of God, under the leadership of Jesus Christ.
We are to lift Him up so the world may know
that the Father has sent Him, that they may be
drawn to Him (see John 12:32, 17:23). That’s
the assignment for the Church!
We are to be workers together with one
another. We need one another.
Each of us has his own assignment, but
together we make up a whole. So get involved
in the work of God with one another.
Once we begin to flow in the Anointing of the
Holy Spirit in unity and harmony, supporting
and encouraging one another, it will cause
what we do to be many times more powerful!

we use it just a little or not at all. But when we
move in the full authority of the Word of God,
we can operate in great faith!
In these meetings where the Word is being
preached, faith is spreading like wildfire in a dry
thicket fanned by a strong wind.
God’s Order In Your Life
God is a God of divine order, and He has
ordered everything. When you and I study His
textbook, the Bible, and we allow the Holy
Spirit to direct our steps, we’ll walk in the order
of Almighty God.
It’s exciting to think that, daily, you can walk
in the absolute order of Almighty God! But to
do that, you’ll have to learn the leadership of
the Holy Spirit and become a student of the
Textbook.
If you do neither, you’ll only cross paths with
God’s order once in a while. When you’re not
observing His order, anything is liable to come
your way—and oftentimes does.
But oh, how marvelous it is to discover that
God is a God of order and a master creator.
God isn’t practicing on us. He had everything
perfected before we got involved.
God sets up divine order for your individual
life, your marriage, your family, your relationship
to people outside the Church, even your private
devotion time. God does not leave anything
to chance. Even one’s relationship with fellow
believers is ordered by God.
Let the divine order of God begin to control
your life, and you will become a more effective
and productive person to the glory of God.
You’ll become a powerhouse for God!
God’s Order In the Church
You see, the Church is not to be a poor, sick,
anemic, troubled, defeated group.
The Church is the light of God and the salt
“God isn’t practicing on us.
He had everything perfected before we got involved.”
B VOV : 21
A number of years ago, the Lord directed
me to start teaching the Body of Christ about
angels. When I told God I didn’t know anything
about them, He set me straight. Neither does
anyone else, He said. That’s the reason I want
you to teach it. It’s time the Body of Christ
woke up to the supernatural deliverance that I
put in the earth for them.
So I began studying about these heavenly
beings. I discovered the supernatural ministry
of angels in the earth is very real. But how
effective they can be depends heavily on you
and me. We actually can hinder them from
doing what they’re created to do. That’s why
we must understand their ministry and learn
how to cooperate with them according to the
Word of God.
In Hebrews 1 and 2, we find out that angels
are created beings. They aren’t born as men
are born, nor do they have the same authority
as human beings. But they are created with
purpose. Hebrews 1:14 tells us about their
ultimate role. “Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall
be heirs of salvation?”
Who are these “heirs of salvation”? You and
I. We are the heirs of salvation and, as such,
the “ministering spirits,” or angels, are sent by
God to minister for us.
What are we heirs of? Salvation—which
includes “preservation, healing, soundness and
deliverance from temporal evils.”
The Bible gives us numerous accounts of
angelic deliverance and protection. Jesus was
always aware of their presence. When arrested,
He said, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to
my Father, and he shall presently give me more
than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53).
One Roman legion was 6,000 soldiers. Jesus
said one prayer could have called 12 legions—
or 72,000 angels—to come to His aid. Jesus
understood the power of angelic protection.
As a joint heir with Jesus, we can have that
same protection. Through prayers and speaking
God’s Word, we can have that kind of divine
protection that comes by the ministry of angels!
The Apostles Peter and Paul experienced
the assistance of angels. On more than one
occasion, angels delivered Peter from jail (Acts
5:18-20, 12:6-8).
Paul was facing shipwreck—a potentially fatal
situation. After much prayer he said, “And now
I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall
be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of
the ship. For there stood by me this night the
angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought
before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all
them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of
good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be
even as it was told me” (Acts 27:22-25).
Now getting those kinds of results will do
wonders for your prayer life! Angels are “mighty
ones who do His commandments, hearkening to
the voice of His word” (Psalm 103:20, Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition).
Angels are an important part of the spirit
world. Their assignments are very real. God
created them to be available at a moment’s
notice to minister for us, and their ministry
includes providing divine protection.
