Gloria Copeland — Freedom From Fear And Death

13 Jan

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland

Mark 5:36
KJV—Be not afraid, only believe.

AMP—Do not be seized with alarm and struck
with fear; only keep on believing.

Weymouth—Do not be afraid: only have faith.

NIV—Don’t be afraid; just believe.

John 14:23, 27
KJV—Jesus answered.… Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.

AMP—Jesus answered.… Peace I leave with
you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath
to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let
them be afraid [Stop allowing yourselves to
be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit
yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and
cowardly and unsettled.]

Weymouth—Jesus [replied]…. Peace I leave
with you: my own peace I give to you. Not as
the world gives do I give to you. Let not your
hearts be troubled or dismayed.

NIV—Jesus replied…Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give you. I do not give to you as the
world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.

Hebrews 2:14-15
KJV—Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him that had the
power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver
them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage.

AMP—Since, therefore, [these His] children
share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature
of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar
manner partook of the same [nature], that by
[going through] death He might bring to nought
and make of no effect him who had the power
of death—that is, the devil—and also that He
might deliver and completely set free all those
who through the [haunting] fear of death were
held in bondage throughout the whole course
of their lives.

Weymouth—Since, then, the children referred
to are all alike sharers in perishable human
nature, He Himself also, in the same way, took
on Him a share of it, in order that through
death He might render powerless him who
had authority over death, that is, the devil,
and might set at liberty all those who through
fear of death had been subject to lifelong
slavery.

NIV—Since the children have flesh and blood,
he too shared in their humanity so that by his
death he might destroy him who holds the
power of death—that is, the devil—and free
those who all their lives were held in slavery
by their fear of death.

Kenneth Copeland — Freedom From Fear

30 Dec

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland

2 Timothy 1:7
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but
of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If people knew how death operates, they
wouldn’t be so afraid to live. Jesus said that
the one who believes on Him will never see
death. We’ve passed from that place where
we will know any death.

Fear of death is an enemy to you. Fear
of any kind is an enemy. Fear will keep you
from walking in God’s delivering power. That’s
because God responds to faith. He does what
we believe for Him to do.

If we have fear of death, we’re living in fear.
As a result, we give God no faith to work with.
He intervenes in this earth through faith. Faith
is what causes the power of God to come upon
our bodies and heal us of sickness and disease.
If we believe His promises to secure our lives,
He secures our lives. Faith in God is what causes
His angels to go forth and to protect us in times
of trouble or times of danger.

The thing God says repeatedly in His Word
is, “Fear not.” Your deliverance is in fearing not
and believing God. Fear not. But have faith
in God.

People ruin their lives over the fear of
danger, when there is no danger for the
person who is inside God’s covenant of
salvation. The definition of the word salvation
includes “deliverance, preservation, material
and temporal deliverance from danger and
apprehension, or the fear of danger.”

Take on the attitude of the three young
Israelite men who were told to bow to a
foreign god or face a fiery furnace. They
replied, “We serve God and we believe that
He is able to deliver us out of your hand. Get
this straight, King, we’re not going to bow to
other gods.” Notice that attitude. They had
more fear of the Lord than they had fear
of death.

Why fear when you know angels have been
assigned to be ministers of God’s covenant
promises—including promises of protection?
You can hire bodyguards, but they’re not as
good as the angels. When you go to bed at
night, you ought to thank God for the angels
that encamp around about you to deliver you.
When you put your head down on the pillow at
night, you don’t have to be afraid somebody’s
going to break into your house. Use your faith
and believe God, thanking Him for the ministry
of angels on your behalf and that you have
protection. That’s part of your salvation. Enjoy
the rest of being free from fear as a covenant
child of God. It belongs to you.
