We Are the Workmanship of God by Gloria Copeland

Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries

God is pouring out of His Spirit upon all flesh.
We have been born again to live and operate in the
spirit. We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus, ordained of God unto good works (Ephesians
2:10). We have the Holy Spirit—God Himself—
abiding on the inside of us! God has determined to
reveal and manifest Himself in the earth in the Body
of Christ.

The Body of Christ is made up of spiritual beings
living in bodies of flesh, who are capable of manifesting
the glory of God. Ephesians 4:24 says these beings are
created after God in righteousness and true holiness.
Even so, God has not been able to reveal Himself to
the degree He desires, because we have been dominated
by our flesh.

By His Spirit, God is revealing how we can walk in
the spirit and not be controlled by the flesh. As we
fine-tune our lives to obey the promptings of the
Holy Spirit, God will have available the vessels
necessary to manifest Himself in the earth.

God is not looking for ability, but for availability.
He needs you and me to do the work that must be
done. He must have people who are faithful. Good
help has been hard for God to find.

I believe we are in the midst of the greatest
outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the history of the
human race. According to God’s timetable, we have
come to the end of this age. It is harvest time! God
has a plan for this generation—to sweep the souls of
this earth into the kingdom of God.

Supernatural power will be required to accomplish
this great task, just as it was required to deliver the
children of Israel! The Body of Christ will deliver the
children of men from the power of darkness by the
power of the Holy Spirit.

When God called Moses, He chose a man who
would be obedient. Moses made mistakes, but God
was patient with him and would not allow him to
draw back. God needed him. Moses had what it took
to accomplish the great feat of delivering Israel: He
was faithful.

Today, we must be faithful. God needs us. His
plan is to use us as He used Moses. He is requiring
that we “sell out” to Him. He is looking to show
Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are
perfect toward Him. “For the eyes of the Lord run to
and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect
toward him” (2 Chronicles 16:9). That word perfect
in 2 Chronicles 16:9 does not mean God is looking
for those who have never made a mistake. It means
“loyal, devoted, dedicated, consecrated, faithful.”
Moffatt says, “For the Eternal’s eyes dart here and
there over the whole world, as he exerts his power on
behalf of those who are devoted to him.”

God is looking for those who are devoted, loyal,
consecrated and dedicated to Him and to His plan
and purpose. God wants your heart!
