Kenneth Copeland Ministries Featuring: Become God-Inside Minded

Watch Kenneth Copeland on Believer’s Voice of Victory as he teaches you why you can’t mix with the world and build your faith to the place it needs to be. Instead, become God-inside minded by spending time in The WORD. (Continued below................)

(....continued......)That’s how you launch into victory! This series was previously aired Sept. 12-16, 2016.


Tenacious, Determined Faith
We live in a world in which faith is a foreign concept. Most people only trust what they see and feel in the natural; if they can’t see it, it’s not real to them. By comparison, believers live in the supernatural realm in which faith is more real than anything that is physically tangible. At times when all we have to rely on is our belief in what God says, that’s actually all we need.
Our faith is challenged every day. Sometimes we have to cling tightly to it like a bulldog refusing to let go of a bone. The world will show us a scenario that contradicts God’s Word. However, when He tells us everything will be fine, we must show the same determination that the Shunammite woman showed when her son died. “And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well…Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well” (2 Kings 4:23, 26).
Everything in the natural begins in the supernatural, before being manifested in ways we can see. Our faith brings it to pass, either good or bad. When everything around us appears to be going badly and Satan tells us that’s just the way it is, we need the kind of tenacious faith the Shunammite woman displayed. When the situation looks gloomy, trusting enough in God’s Word to boldly declare, “It is well,” turns things around. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
If all we have to rely on is what’s happening in the physical realm, we would have no hope. Thankfully, we can have faith in something far more solid and permanent than our constantly-changing external environment. We can’t always trust in what we see with our physical eyes. We must instead trust in what we see with our spiritual eyes. “Then the LORD answered me and said: ‘Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry…But the just shall live by his faith’” (Habakkuk 2:2-4, NKJV).
Faith in God’s Word gives us the spiritual vision to see what others can’t see. It gives us the strength to keep going in tough times. Trusting in what He tells us strengthens us and enables us to outlast others who only believe what they see. “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:29-31). When it appears that all is lost, determinedly standing on our faith empowers us to soar above the situation and experience miracles.
