Kenneth Copeland — The Promise Of The SpiritPosted by admin on May 5th, 2010
If Jesus Christ is the Lord of your
life, then you are Abraham’s seed.
Notice the word seed in verse 29 is
singular as it was in verse 16, when it
was referring to Jesus. The promise is
to you and will work in Jesus’ Name
every bit as well as it did for Jesus in
Galilee. You have put on Christ. You
are one with Him. Jesus has passed the
promise to you as His joint heir! You
have the right to function exactly the
same way Jesus functioned in the earth
by using His Name. It is your promise.
He has given it to you.
With this understanding, let’s look
once again at Galatians 3:13-14.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the
curse of the law…that the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith.” We have always read
this thinking that “the promise of
the Spirit” referred to receiving the
promised Holy Spirit, but there is more
to it. The Holy Spirit is a part of the
promise, but this verse actually means
that through faith we might receive the
promise that the Spirit made to Jesus.
It is referring to the entire promise of
God given through Abraham.
This promise of God should be so
real to you as an individual believer
that you will receive it and act upon
it the same way Jesus did! However,
you must realize that you have to work
it according to the Word of God, not
according to how you think or feel.
The natural mind does not consider
prayer answered until the answer can
40 Our Covenant With God be seen. But prayer is answered the
moment you receive the answer by
faith from the authority of God’s Word.
Quit dealing with the problem and
begin to deal with the answer from
the Word of God. Start confessing
the answer before you can see the
manifestation. This is what Jesus did!
He spoke the end result. Romans 4:17
says that God speaks of things that are
not as though they were. We should do
the same thing!
