[Music] I'm not move High what I feel I don't live by what I see because my God has made the way for me hello everyone I'm Kenneth copelan this is the believer's voice of Victor broadcast father we thank you and we praise you for the privilege of speaking your words words that are Divine words from the Bible that have come down from above by your spirit your covenants of prayer and power we praise you and thank you for it I receive the anointing today to stand in the office into which I've been
called the prophet and the teacher in Jesus name we pray it and believe we receive and we believe for Honor in this broadcast today in that name that's above every name amen Let's uh we're going to continue uh concerning prayer and uh prayer is more than just communicating with God it is communicating with God but there's too much in my opinion and it's been formed over 57 years and and some but in in my opinion the largest prayer problem among Christian people is they don't pray at all and uh g
o to a restaurant pay no attention to God and like one fell said one time he said well I pray a headache prayer what is a headache prayer well he said you do like this in the restaurant and people think Bo he sure must have a headache no he's embarrassed he's ashamed to pray in public and then there are the two busy people too busy to pray don't have time well you're going to have time to sit in lawyer offices you're going to have time to sit in doctor's offices and and you're going to have time
to sit uh among the time that your children get in trouble cuz you didn't teach them how to pray so I heard oral Robert said it more than more than once and to me personally that the largest problem among good Christian people born again Holy Ghost baptized people is a prayer problem not knowing how to pray or not knowing when to pray someone asked Smith Wigglesworth and said uh uh how long do you pray well he said I rarely pray over about 15 minutes but he said I rarely go 15 minutes without p
raying so in other words that was his answer to all all the time so now let's turn to the sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians now this chapter begins with children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise well we've hit on something right there this is the first commandment with promise with long life he'll satisfy you and show you his salvation but as we continue on you fathers provoke not your children under wra
th but bring them up in the nurtur and admonition of the Lord servants be obedient to them that are your Masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart as unto Christ not with ey Service as men Pleasers but as Servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart with Good Will doing Service as unto the Lord Lord and not to men knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does the same shall he receive of the Lord and you Masters do the same thing unto them fo
rbearing threatening knowing that your ma Master also is in heaven neither I want you get it let me read that again knowing that your master also is in heaven this this is going to really means something here in a few moments neither is there respect of persons with him finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the Ws of the devil for we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against principalities an
d against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand stand stand therefore having your loins G about with truth this is the armor and having on the breastplate of righteousness you remember 2 Corinthians 5 he who knew no sin was made to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God what does that mean
that we might come into right standing with God glory to God not by anything we did but what he did and your feet shot with the preparation of the gospel of peace do you remember it also says that the gospel is the power of God under salvation yes he's talking about walking in power above all having taken the shield of Faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked take the helmet of salvation the sword of the spirit which is the word of God praying well well well
now you could take take each one of those pieces and uh and explore that but this is prayer armor each one of these has to do with praying praying always with all prayer and we found out that one translation says all manner of prayer one says all different different kinds of prayer so there's the prayer of petition there's the prayer of faith and uh so there are prayer of dedication and commitment praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit watching there unto with all perseve
rance and supplication for All Saints and for me that utterance may be given un to me that I may open my mouth boldly to make known The Mystery of the gospel for I am an ambassador in bonds and therein I may speak boldly as I ought to speak okay praying always For Whom the ministry praying for your pastor praying for uh whatever Ministry that you're part of as a partner but I'm telling you prayer should be something that goes on all the time that's right I was at Oru and I came home from school
one day and Gloria said in in studying prayer she said I I heard this in consistency lies the power to be consistently constant of praying the word because it was about that time that I heard in my spirit let the word fight its own fight because it has within itself the power to bring itself to pass now then why bring this up having done all to stand stand therefore well what is the need well somebody doesn't help me financially I'm telling you right here in a few days I mean we're just going to
go down the drain you're redeemed from the curse uh what curse uh-huh okay there's the problem the curse of the law threefold spiritual death sickness and disease and poverty The Blessing of Abraham spiritual life Divine health and prosperity and prayer is involved in all of those now let's let's go back over here now to the uh sixth chapter chapter of the Book of Matthew Jesus said take heed that you do not your your arms before men to be seen of them otherwise you have no reward of your fathe
r which is in heaven therefore when you do your arms do not sound the trumpet or just just don't be blowing a horn about yourself on your giving it's just uh anyway when you do don't let your left hand know what your right hand's doing now that that has a lot to do with prayer Jesus is using these words like this and number one there's a lot of things in your giving that's nobody's business but God's and yours from what he has told you to do and you carry it out and it might be just good that no
body knew you did it and so you're treasure is in heaven now look at that seventh verse When you pray use not vain repetitions he didn't say you couldn't repeat yourselves said don't use vain ones that just just stuff that doesn't mean anything it's going over and over and over and over and over uh the night I was praying there in I was to register for or you the next day and $24,000 in bad debt and no money well I just fell in the floor and began to pray now wait a wait though I just started pr
aying in tongues just as hard and fast as I could there's no way you can pray in tongues and hear from God at the same time you're doing all the talking now you might you you might receive an inner direction or something I was desperate I didn't want to be there I I wanted to be somewhere else because I had no idea what was about to happen I said I wonder if I would be quiet if he'd say something something to me it was as close to being audible as you can get well it's about time I couldn't get
a word in edgewise get on your feet and I received my instruction and before the day was up before that day was up I was co-pilot on or Roberts Evangelistic association's airplane I never dreamed of that well the Lord wasn't about to tell me that tonight before he just said I'll take care of you here now look at this use not vain repetitions now what I was doing wasn't vain because it it was in tongues but there was no faith in it it was a lot of fear so I guess you could say that that it was va
in it didn't have any faith power but then the Lord knew my heart I was willing because I was there I had a lot of fear but he straightened that out now come on down they thought they'll be here heard for their much speaking be you not therefore like unto them for your father knows what things you have need of before you ask okay well I just don't see there's any use to ask that isn't where he stopped you still have to ask and we're we're we're working on something after this manner therefore yo
u pray Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread forgive us our debts Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name I have sung that so many times give us this day our daily bread forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from Evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen if you forgive men well now he's right back
on forgiveness that's not a second Covenant prayer don't look at me in that tone of voice he said your kingdom come your will be done what we read in Ephesians the full armor of God they didn't have the full armor of God but if you read in the Book of John he starts he begins to talk about the comt the standby the intercessor he has been with you but he will be in you something is about to happen here all right so now let's go to the Book of Daniel in the third year Osiris King of Persia a thin
g was revealed unto Daniel whose name was called belshazzar and the and the thing was true but the time appointed was long and he understood the thing and had understanding of the vision in those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks I ate no Pleasant bread neither came flesh or wine in my mouth neither did I anoint myself at all till three whole weeks were fulfilled in the fourth and 20th day of the first month as I was by the side of the Great River which is uh hickle then I lifted up my
eyes and looked and behold a curtain a certain man clothed than linen whose loins were girded with fine gold of EAS his body was also like a barrel and his face had the appearance of lightning and his eyes were lamps of fire his arms and his feet are like in colored of polished brass in the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude and I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men that were with me saw no vision but a great quaking fell upon them so that they fled into to hide themselves the
refore I was left alone and saw this great vision and there remained no strength in me for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption and I retained no strength yet heard I the voice of his words and when I heard the voice of his words then was I in a deep sleep on my face and my face toward the ground and behold a hand touched me and set me up on my knees upon the palms of my hands and he said unto me oh Daniel a man greatly beloved understand the words that I speak unto thee and stand upri
ght For unto thee am I now sent and when he had spoken these words unto me I stood trembling then he said unto me fear not Daniel for from the first day that you did set your heal s to understand to chasten yourself but before thy God your words were heard and I am come for your words but the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one in 20 days but Lo Michael one of the chief princes Michael is the Archangel of war came from for your words and I remained there with the kings of Persia now
he was on a partial fast and God had to deal with him through a vision an awesome power the power knocked him down the power stood him back up and the Archangel the Gabriel was speaking it it was the voice of Jesus says so but it was Gabriel that delivered it an archangel and he had to call for Michael who came in and helped him fight off the Devils what devils are those Wicked spirits in the heavenlies the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit mentioned that in the sixth chapter of the book of Ephes
ians so here fasting fear not Daniel we heard you from the first day he had no weapon accept prayer and fasting and on a determined Spirit the Bible said he had an excellent Spirit about him and just stand he just stayed he just stayed 21 days and they heard him the first day what if he'd had given up at the end of the week say there nobody here me these are Angelic beings bringing messages from Jesus he's not lord of the church yet there's not any church yet now fasting is a weapon they and and
throughout the Apostle Paul said through fastings often now if if the pastor calls a fast or or a partial fast then why what is the what what is the reason to do away with food for a season in this in the second Covenant there there are no instructions for fasting now I studied it and in January of 1983 the Lord called me to our prayer cabin on a cleansing fast and uh I won't take the time to go through all that but who I'll tell you I was so toxic I didn't realize it till I got up there and di
d what he instructed me to do but I was so so toxic I'm telling you just terrible I can see why you call me on it but at the close of that then I was able to hear uh plans for the the immediate future and plans and some things are just now taking to place and that was January 1983 where of time so my point of this opening session is having done to stand stand stand before you call somebody and ask them for money stand before you call somebody and ask them to to to come over and help me stand fir
st if the Lord directs you to have that someone well then that's a different thing but you don't just pick up the phone first help me help me help me help me no we'll be back in just a moment the prayer of the believer isn't a one-way monologue it's an intimate fellowshipping with your heavenly father that takes hold of the promises he's given you get Kenneth copelan's book prayer your foundation for success and help transform your prayer life to see results every time God is as ready and willin
