Kenneth Copeland — A Prayer for Health and Healing

21 Oct

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I confess Your Word concerning
healing. I believe and say that Your Word will not return to
You void, but will accomplish what it says it will. Therefore,
I believe in the Name of Jesus, that I am healed according
to 1 Peter 2:24. It is written in Your Word that Jesus Himself
took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses (Matthew 8:17).
Therefore, with great boldness and confidence, I say on the
authority of that written Word that I am redeemed from the
curse of sickness and I refuse to tolerate its symptoms.

Satan, I speak to you in the Name of Jesus and say that your
principalities, powers, master spirits who rule the present
darkness and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places
are bound from operating against me in any way. I am loosed
from your assignment. I am the property of Almighty God
and give you no place in me. I dwell in the secret place of the
Most High God. I abide, remain stable and fixed, under the
shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand.

Now, Father, because I reverence and worship You, I
have the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord
encamps around about me and delivers me from every evil
work. No evil shall befall me, no plague or calamity shall
come near my dwelling. I confess the Word of God abides
in me and delivers to me perfect soundness of mind and
wholeness in body and spirit from the deepest parts of my
nature in my immortal spirit, even to the joints and marrow
of my bones. That Word is medication and life to my flesh, for
the law of the Spirit of life operates in me and makes me free
from the law of sin and death.

I have on the whole armor of God. The shield of faith
protects me from all the fiery darts of the wicked. Jesus is the
High Priest of my confession, and I hold fast to my confession
of faith in God’s Word. I stand immovable and fixed
in full assurance that I have health and healing now in the
Name of Jesus.

Kenneth Copeland — The Whole Armor of God

22 Jul

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland

As a believer, you are a soldier in the army of God. Visualize yourself standing ready for battle with the armor of God protecting you—your loins girt with the truth, the breastplate of righteousness in place, your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.



And above all, you are holding the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. The helmet of salvation is on your head and the sword of the Spirit—the Word of God—is in your hand. You are covered from head to foot with the powerful armor of God. It is strong and will withstand any onslaught of the enemy. Let me show you how it works.




When Satan tells you in your mind that you will never see the manifestation of your prayers, it is time to gird yourself with the truth. Ephesians 6:13-14 says, “…And having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth.” In John 17:17 Jesus said, “Thy word is truth.” Satan is a liar and the father of lies.




Determine in your heart that having done all to stand, you will stand firm on God’s Word. You will not be moved by what you see, hear or think. You are only moved by the Word of God. Psalm 112:6-8 says of the man who delights in God’s Word, making it final authority, “Surely he shall not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.”




Fix your attention on God’s Word. Trust only in the Lord and not in the evil reports you hear. Establish your heart in the Word of God!




The breastplate of righteousness has a particular meaning to you as a believer. It was no accident that the Spirit of God chose the breastplate to represent righteousness. Without it, vital areas of a soldier’s body are exposed to the enemy. Without righteousness, the vital parts of your prayer life are

exposed to Satan.




Righteousness may well be the most misunderstood subject in the New Testament. To the religious mind, it is good moral conduct. However, the true meaning is very different. Righteousness is simply right-standing with God. Because of that right-standing, you have rights and privileges in God’s kingdom.




You will become more aware of those rights and privileges as you realize what happens when you make Jesus the Lord of your life. There are two spiritual families: the family of God and the family of the devil.




Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”




Jesus said to the Pharisees, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44).




Ephesians 2:2-3 says, “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”

Kenneth Copeland — The Battlefield of Prayer

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland


Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…

(Ephesians 6:10-18).


Every believer is involved in spiritual warfare. The problems we face are brought about by satanic forces principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and wicked spirits in heavenly places. Our responsibility is to use the weapons of our warfare to fight the good fight of faith. What are those weapons? The Name of Jesus, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.


Prayer is the battlefield. The time spent in the Word is the base of supply. The armor described in Ephesians 6 is prayer armor and serves one vital purpose: to combat Satan and win! Your enemy is not other people. Satan is the source of all your trouble. He is the troublemaker! Not God. Not your neighbor. Not your co-worker. Some people believe God sends tribulation and trials. But He has provided the weapons and armor to get us out of trouble!


In combat, a good strategist knows the importance of cutting the enemy’s supply and dividing his troops. Defeat is inevitable. Without food, water and ammunition, it will be only a matter of time until the enemy is in his hands. In fact, all he has to do is sit back and wait. In the same way, if we’re not keeping supplied by spending time in the Word and prayer, actively combating Satan, then he can easily overtake us.


Much of our failure in the past has been because of Satan’s success in dividing the Church. But thank God, the Body of Christ is coming together throughout the earth. People of all denominational backgrounds are uniting in the power of the Holy Spirit. Denominational barriers are crumbling like the walls of Jericho! Believers are daily discovering, more and more, the power of God available to them. They are putting on their prayer armor, preparing to do battle in the realm of the spirit.


Thank God, we have authority over Satan and his cohorts! We are to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, mastering our weapons and using them effectively. If we expect to win the war, we must spend time reinforcing our troops through prayer.
