Jesus is coming back. There’s a day and an hour appointed for His return. We know that’s true because Jesus spoke of it saying, “Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). At that appointed time, He will catch away those of us who are prepared for His coming and take us to heaven with Him to celebrate for seven years. Then He’ll bring us back with Him when He comes to reign over the earth.

What a day that will be!

The Apostle Paul gave some instructions to believers in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. 
 
Once you have the elements (which you can purchase for home use), take the time to come to God. As you begin, say something like this:
 

Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” At Kenneth Copeland Ministries, we believe that when Jesus died for us and rose again, He purchased for us a total and complete redemption which required that He endure a physical and spiritual death.

We know Jesus had no sin. He was not born with a spiritual nature of sin like men who have earthly fathers, and He never committed any sin while He was on the earth (Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 4:15).

One of the biggest changes between the Old and New Covenants is how sin was handled.

In the Old Covenant, God established the priesthood to provide a way for the Israelites to cover or atone for sin—the breaking of the law. The high priest offered a blood sacrifice each year in the Holy of Holies to cover the sins of the people. When the high priest failed, the people had no approach to God.

In contrast, the blood of Jesus did not just cover over our sins; it eradicated our sins.

If you’re asking this question, you’re not far from salvation. Getting saved is really not hard at all.

The truth is, God did not make angels and man imperfect. God created them to have a choice. And that is where the opportunity to choose against God entered in.

To fear God is not to be afraid of Him. In fact, 1 John 4:18 says, “Perfect love casts out fear” (NKJV). The Bible tells us hundreds of times to “fear not” because fear and terror come from the devil and cause torment (1 John 4:18). But the Hebrew translation for the word fear in reference to God means “to respect or reverence,” which is a very positive thing. 

Consider the following verses about the benefits of “fearing” the Lord.

1 Timothy 4:3-5 tells us that our food is made acceptable by the Word and prayer.

So, when you bless your food at each meal, take the time to do more than a quick, “Bless this food.” This is your opportunity to pray protection over yourself—to bless it and sanctify it, and pray against anything that would cause illness, in Jesus’ Name. If you’re at a restaurant, you can include a prayer over the people who will be preparing your food—that they’ll handle it correctly with wisdom. 

Our military today is the most outstanding United States military in the history of this nation. There’s never been another corps like them anywhere, anytime. They’re tough, and they’re committed. More importantly, they need our support.

Utilizing the ministry of angels is part of your salvation package! God provided these powerful beings to aid you on the earth, bless you and minister to you. If you haven’t been tapping into this powerful, supernatural resource, here is how you can receive the help of angels.

If you’re looking for a home church where you can be rooted and planted according to Psalm 92:13, you probably already know that church-shopping can be quite a process. As you prayerfully consider where to plant your family, use this checklist for choosing the right church, and get rooted!

The right church will:

There is only one God, but the Trinity refers to the three persons in the Godhead—the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Each One is wholly God—not just a part of God. And together, they are God in oneness. (See Matthew 28:19.)

Each Person of the Trinity has individual characteristics, yet none ever acts independently or in opposition to the others. There is always total unity and harmony. “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (the Son), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (1 John 5:7-8).

Kenneth Copeland has taught that there was a time in history when the whole Body of Christ was under a unique attack of the enemy. During that time, many believers received the anointing of God to endure martyrdom (dying for Jesus). He believes the anointing was there to experience this without pain.
