In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

I thank God for the bright light that brother Kenneth Copeland is to the Body of Christ and for the anointing on his life and ministry.
KCM truly is a Ministry of Excellence and Integrity beyond reproach.

To the body of believers I say this, remember that we "wrestle not against flesh and blood", Sen. Grassley is not the real enemy in all of this, he's just been used by the demonic forces behind this attack. Let us pray for him instead, and do battle where it really counts, in the spirit realm,"...against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.." Ephe 6:12

Have we not learned anything from the teachings of brother Copeland?
Let us not get in strife against anyone, lest our faith be hindered and be rendered ineffectual, but rather "...love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you..." Math 5:44

I exhort you therefore to practice what he has taught us and "stand on the Word", been fully confident that "no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment,you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17

Love you all,
Ed

'You will know them by their fruits.' (Mt.7:16) Check out the fruit. Is it Bible results or not? Nuff said!

Interestingly, Jesus added later in this passage, that the trees that don't bear good fruit are cut down and thrown into the fire. Sen. Grassley might want to check himself on that part. It's a check yourself before you wreck yourself kind of thing. God keeps the books, and we'll all give an account to Him.

America bless God!

Good words.

It would seem to me that the Senator's focus should be on:
-government graft
-government corruption
-govenrment kickbacks
-government pork barrel spending
-government reduction in debt
-government support for energy independence
-government help in strenghtening the US economy
-government focus on eliminating terroism at home and abroad
-government strengthening of our military

-and finally....not attacking the Christian community, but becoming an advocate for it.

This is only a partial list of the issues facing our country and it would appear that taking on any one of them would earn the Senator the gratitude of the American taxpayer.

My family has been in partnership with KCM for nearly 30 years & have yet to find any issue with their integrity and their ministry. I have come know members of the KCM staff and each of them has operated with the same concern for walking upright and in doing what is right in the Lord's eyes.

You are quite right Doug. If Moses was alive today, the liberal media would have asked him this question after reading Exodus Chapter 24 "Are you sure that was God asking you to take your older brother and his sons and make them priests" and we are to send all these offering to him and his children. They would have said "Come on Moses you are not hearing from God but making all these up and you know what, they would have missed the promise land.
This nation should be careful how they treat anointed people such as Brother Copeland. We know the messiah Christ has come but anyone who will stop God plan for man, he will remove. That is what the saying "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse.” is all about.
The messages coming from these pulpits are end time message and God will remove any wickedness that stands in its way.

Wrong doctrine stands in the way of God indwelling His people at the greater levels He requires in this day. To have a soul clean enough for God to indwell and co-promote His kingdom, we must have relatively pure and mature doctrines. Some of the most popular teachers of Christian doctrine today are the family ministries of Trinity Broadcasting Network, a network boasting 70 satellites covering the earth. These ministries generally broadcast escapist doctrine in the form of rapture theology, prosperity theology and eternal security theology. God is correcting the most famous of the Trinity Broadcasting Network family ministries by US Senate investigation into their opaque finances, or embarrassing incidents or lawsuits to expose fraudulent Christian character. Rather than work with the light God shines in dark ministry places, these ministry leaders tend to ramp up their pride and fight truth and light. These ministry leaders are proving themselves worse opponents than the leviathan or crocodile God admonished Job about. And in truth, God’s worst opponent has always been pride. God was trying to get Job to see his own pride of religion when He told him about the leviathan or crocodile being an implacable enemy. This enabled Job to repent in dust and ashes over his religious rigidness. That was then. Now apparently nothing can correct Trinity Broadcasting Network, its deluded and wrong-doctrine teaching ministries and its caught-in-the-light-of-the-Lord ministers of embarrassing character. Pride is an implacable enemy. Do the ministers of wrong doctrine want God to take it to the next level? Doesn’t this level of embarrassments, investigations and lawsuits hurt enough to desire correcting the doctrine-driven problems? Or must God send them greater woe? God can easily send wrong-doctrine ministries more woe. He can do that. But must the proud ministers and their proud families prove themselves irredeemable? God forbid!

My name is Richard Stern. I am a 46 year old jewish man and I have only receently accepted Jesus Christ into my life as my personal Lord and saviour (may 6th, 08). I have since been baptized (aug. 2nd) and have yet to recieve the gift of speaking in tounges, however my EARS have been opened and like the servant of Elisha who's EYES were opened and beheld a mountain full of firey horses and chariots, protectors of the great prophet WHICH WERE ALWAYS THERE but hitherto invisible to him (2nd Kings 6:17) I can now hear the voice of Brother Copeland. I have known of Brother Copeland for years but was unable to grasp the meaning of his ministry until the blood of Christ himself cleaned out my ears. As a Jew I could always hear the voice of Pastor John Hagee and I believe that any Jew with manners owes that man of God a particular debt of gratitude. As an american I have always been able to hear the voice of the Rev. Billy Graham but it was only after I could plead the blood of Christ and came into covanant with Him that I could truly hear the voice of Brother Copeland, and my God what a voice it is! Brother Copeland has clarified and continues to clarify the true Power and Joy of the Blessing in a way that was literally UNIMAGINABLE to me only a short time ago. I would go so far as to consider him my spiritual father. I have made a personal commitment to tell my christian bothers and sisters of of any denomination whatsoever to pray for him and offer intersession for him as well as the other five ministries. Brother Copeland's infuence has driven me back into biblical study (I trained to be a Rabbi in Jerusalem in the early '80s) wlth a force and a fulfillment that I did not know was possible and I fully support this Man of Faith who's words and teachings and Joy in the Word has given me so much unexpected pleasure in the exercise of Faith and study. God bless Kenneth and Gloria Copeland and may he bless and prosper them and their family for decades to come.-Richard Joel Stern 8-13-08.

I was saved in the late 80's because of teaching tapes I received by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. Their Bible teaching changed my life. Their understanding of the Bible helped me to get my own revelation of God's Word and prepared me for some very tough times that came my way. I know I would not be here today if I had not had the great foundation they provided for me through teaching tapes. I have followed them all these years, and these people are truly annointed of God. They have never changed the message of what they teach. There is one thing I know for sure, this ministry is a ministry of great integrity and honesty. And anyone that wants to say bad things about these people will get an ear full. I will stand up for this ministry and their/our beliefs until Jesus comes!

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

Our ministry is organized as a 501(c)(3) just like those in this investigation. So, we have been following these developments. We organized it that way because we started as a youth ministry and there were persons and other non-profit organizations (foundations and charities) that wanted to donate to our work--for example, give us grants-- but could not unless we were a tax exempt. We also are registered as a charity with our state. People who give to our work, may take their gifts as a legal tax deduction. We comply will all rules of the IRS and state. I applaud KCM for its stand on this issue. I also thought it was telling that each of the ministries investigated got different letters; some were asked for more detailed information than others. Not everyone wants a public announcement of their donations. Telling the IRS on your tax form is one thing; telling CNN via the US Senate is quite another. The IRS and the state agencies have the records and investigative authority to determine whether any wrongs have been committed. The Senate committee is really over-reaching.

Senator Grassley and fellow senators need to be doing an inquiry on the business of the Muslim Mosques built in this country in the last 10 years. It would be much more appropriate.
Christians and our rich American Christian heritage have more than benefitted this country's government.
Would Senator Grassley and fellow senators enjoy this type of inquiry directed at their churches? We need to be fair and accross the board with this goal of theirs. Unless they are determined to be discriminatory towards one group of believers.
Righteousness exalts a nation, sin is a reproach to any people.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

I am really appalled at our entire Congres s and even the President as they should have already put a stop to this. This Ministry has invited the IRS to do an audit and by Senator Grassley refusing to obey the laws of this land concerning privacy and separation of state and church is a clear indication that he believs he is above the law. I could under stand if this concerned terrorism, but really if his motives were honest himself he would go to the IRS and request a formal audit. I strongly believe his reasons are not honest.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

I have never heard KCM beg for money!

I have been a partner with this ministry for over 30 years. They have been a ministry of integrity.

I have been able to help the ministry when they come to our state and have personally witnessed their giving to people in need.

When homeless people who where ministered to and brought to the convention and had no place to stay, KCM would provide for them and get them a room.
The ministry would follow up and make sure these people found work and a home.

They are a very generous ministry giving away books, bibles and teaching material, asking for nothing in return. Their hand in not out to get, but to give.

They will load a semi truck full of teaching material and let it go out to another ministry and ask for nothing in return.

I am saddened by what the Senate is trying to do, but not surprised. They have been trying to chip away our freedoms and are expecting us to lay down and let them.

I believe the body of Christ is going to come together on this and NOT allow it to go any further.

We will learn to research the background of these people who are running for office and not vote just because they wear the tag of a certain religion or "say" that they are a christian.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

the 2 neg comments I read are obviously from people who are not familiar w/ KCM. The first- a gentleman commented about KCM's ability to "beg" for money if the world knew he was wealthy. Rediculous. K. Copeland has never begged for money in his life!! The second from a woman who foolishly and ignorantly lines up w/ the "you should tell all if you have nothing to hide" group. You, ma'am, are missing the importance of the big picture. We have the right to privacy. They are going after ministries today but if they succeed you and your personal privacy could be next. If an individual has nothing to hide then lets see all of your financial papers, etc.. No, we have to step up and stop it now! the fact is if we had stood up the first time the ACLU or anyone else said we can't have nativity scenes, Bibles in schools, the Ten Commandments at the courthouse, etc.. we might not be here now.

Keep up the good work, KCM. My family and I stand w/ you!!!

America is being pounded with oil dependancy and foreclosures caused by politics. I pray that Senator Grassley will turn his focus to things that would serve Amerian citizens instead of trying to appease ole anthony.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

Senator Grassley say he wants transparency.
If going to the IRS and asking for an audit is not transparency then what is transparency. If I had something to hide the last place I would go would be to the IRS. What else could a senator ask for than that type of transparency.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

I agree completely with this article, and I THANK YOU for getting the truth out for all to see and make sound decisions. We as the church MUST stand up for the rights that our founders KNEW were inalienable and must be freely exercised if our nation were to be great. I stand with you and support you 100%. I know that God has already given us the victory and we will not stop here, but keep moving forward and recover all of the religious freedom that has been stripped over the past 50 years.

In response to: Grassley Targets Six Pentecostal Ministries

Kenneth Copeland doesn't beg for money.
Anyone who thinks differently must not be familiar with his ministry or his daily program.
