Kenneth Copeland — The House Without FoundationPosted by admin on September 2nd, 2009
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great (Luke 6:49).
Notice that the storm hit both houses. It was not the storm that destroyed the house. If the storm had the power to destroy all houses, it would have destroyed both of them; but it did not.
But rather, the lack of foundation destroyed one house. The firm foundation saved the other. That foundation was hearing and doing. Allow what you hear from God’s Word to become the determining factor in what you do.
Jesus, the Living Word by Kenneth Copeland
For the word of God is quick [alive], and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:12-13).
Is Jesus the Word of God? Yes, He is. This scripture says that the Word is alive. The living Word is the foundation of our faith.
Without the Word of God in us, even though we may be doing all the right works and saying all the right things, we have no foundation for any of it. There have been people over the years who have tried to walk on my faith. They did what I did and said what I said. Then when the storm hit, I didn’t fall, but they did—and they got mad at me!
I wasn’t the one who knocked their foundation out from under them. They never really had a foundation. They had listened to tapes, read books and followed many religious exercises. But when the storm came, instead of standing on God’s Word, they backed away and said, “What Kenneth Copeland said doesn’t work.” That’s the problem. Kenneth Copeland didn’t say it. God said it. It’s the Word that will never pass away.
