Kenneth Copeland — See Yourself as God Sees You Part 1

The Church—the Body of Christ—has lived
far below her privileges. We have lived as far
below our spiritual privileges as Israel has
lived below her political privileges. Israel
should be the head and not the tail. She
should not have to borrow from any nation
on earth, and every nation on earth should be
in debt to her. That’s what God said. Well,
that’s how far below our spiritual privileges
the Body of Christ has lived.

Down through the years, God exercised
His faith for us. He was willing to work over
2,000 years to get His plan functioning properly.
The whole time the world lay in darkness,
God was still believing—still exercising faith—
not in Himself alone but in you and in me.
Ephesians 4:14-16 tells us:

That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by
the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may
grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ: From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part…

God did not say He would hold the Body
of Christ together. He said He would join it
together, but that it would be held together, or
compacted, by that which every joint supplied.
He had to believe that you and I would supply
what it took to hold the Body together. We
failed and we failed and we failed again, but
God kept on joining and believing. He never
would utter words of failure. Theology cried,
“The Church is failing!” God said, “My house
will be full, and the gates of hell will not prevail
against it!” Religion was failing—God
wasn’t! Can you see His attitude?

Kenneth Copeland — What Is Our Attitude?

What is Jesus’ attitude? A good example is the
Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). It is full of
outright confessions of faith. Look at verses 9-10:
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven.” This is a statement of
faith that shows Jesus’ winning attitude. He was
standing there in the face of people who wanted
to stone Him when He prayed that! He didn’t say,
“Father, if it be Your will….” He didn’t just say,
“Thy will be done.” He said, “Your will be done in
earth as it is in heaven!” Is there sickness, poverty
and suffering in heaven? No! Then there shouldn’t
be any of it here on earth. Can you see His
attitude in this? God doesn’t have sickness in
heaven, so He doesn’t want any here on earth!

Our attitude needs to be the same as His. Jesus
is the eternal winner—He always wins! God can
tell you what will happen 6,000 years from now.
Why? Because the events taking place in the next
6,000 years or the next 6 million years will not
happen just by chance. They are established.
Where? In the mind of God. He has faith
operating in His own ability. He is a faith being.
He can tell you what will happen in the future
because He intends for it to come out that way!
He can give you His wisdom because it’s going to
be the way He decides.

How does He do it? With His faith. He doesn’t
expect to fail. He doesn’t prepare to fail. Satan will
get in and try to destroy things, but God doesn’t
worry—He knows it will come out all right.
That’s how we’re to be. Roll all your cares over on
Him. Don’t be moved by what you feel or by what
you see. You’re a faith person, so you know how
things are going to come out. You’re going to win,
praise God!

The Church—the Body of Christ—has lived
far below her privileges. We have lived as far
below our spiritual privileges as Israel has lived
below her political privileges. Israel should be the
head and not the tail. She should not have to
borrow from any nation on earth, and every
nation on earth should be indebted to her. That’s
what God said. Well, that’s how far below our
spiritual privileges the Body of Christ has lived.
