Present-Day "Dreams And Visions"

[Heart2Soul]

Everyone I guess has a right to their opinion. Would not buy what Kenneth Copeland is selling. Ironically he tells you spiritual things but every action is love and adornment toward the physical things and he sure heaps them up for himself. he is drunk and part of will deceive them to lead them away from following After the Spirit to following after the flesh. Deuteronomy 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion, I respect Kenneth Copeland's teachings and agree with much of what he shares. There is always going to be those who have opposite views but take it or leave it that is your privilege.
My favorite Bible is the Kenneth Copeland King James version because I love how he categorizes every issue in life in his outline at the front of the Bible....it was so easy to reference scriptures pertaining to what I would be studying and searching to apply to my life at that moment.
Blessings in Christ.

I used to follow Kenneth also and even called his hotline once when I was in a broken state and was desperate for a good rebuking of the enemy. Afterward, Kenneth would send prerecorded messages shouting and rebuking hurricanes, and to send updates. That is not why I changed concerning him but because, after over a year of having those verses taped to a wall upstairs praying for all Kenneth said I should believe I would receive by MY faith...I started seeing those verses were not promising all Kenneth claimed but something better and not empty. The same pastors and teachers I listened to back then, promised what my heart desired. I wanted the physical things. When I first picked up God’s Word ...I was scared and desperate and am ashamed to admit all I wanted was exactly what Kenneth promised God would give me. Late one night I was sitting alone and God made it very clear: how guys would use women solely for their own physical pleasure and needs and could careless about knowing her beyond meeting and satisfying a physical demand...was how I was toward God. Raping for a lust fulfilled...as with porn where the object of said affection is merely an image and nothing more. A faith to suit and fulfill me, yet empty. One-sided. That is kind of embarrassing but that sums up the kind of pastor/teachers I looked for...the ones I wanted to tell me exactly what I wanted to hear. kind of graphic but is that not sometimes how God is viewed by the world? As a ticket to get our fill?

I see, well I listen to many pastors, some have come and gone in my life because they never varied in what they taught...example Mike Murdock made a profound impact in my life back in the 80's because he had an anointing to teach on wisdom which is what I was seeking back then but eventually I outgrew that teaching, then it was Lester Sumrall on demonic/spiritual warfare, then it was Benny Hinn on developing a relationship with the Holy Spirit...etc etc....all those have lost their appeal or anointing to bring anything fresh and new to the table so I believe that their time has ended so to speak. I never really followed Kenneth Copeland much but he was a good teacher of the Bible. But he has had some awesome supernatural events in his life that ministered to me when I heard it
I would love to meet another Smith Wigglesworth kind of pastor/evangelist....this man had faith to believe nothing was impossible for God....he went around raising the dead, healing the sick and delivering those oppressed by demons....one of the truest men of faith that has lived in our time....and he was a simple country boy....nothing fancy about him.
