Faithfulness – Christian Responsibility by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
The end of the age is coming quickly. This is
not an hour of gloom—it is the hour of
God’s glory! The Body of Christ is writing the final
pages of the history of the Church. We are about to
witness the most magnificent display of God’s power
the earth has ever seen. God told Moses, “As truly as
I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the
Lord” (Numbers 14:21).
Every generation has had its role to play in God’s
ultimate plan. During the time of Moses, God
manifested His power on behalf of the children of
Israel in such spectacular ways that they commanded
the respect of the Egyptians. When Moses led the
Israelites out of bondage, they were truly regarded
as God’s people because of the unquestionable
demonstration of His supernatural power.
I believe our generation will experience that same
high privilege. The day has come for God to raise up
the Body of Christ—the glorious Church—without
spot or wrinkle. This Church will command the respect
of the world because it has the miraculous power of
God in manifestation with signs and wonders! The
Church will show forth the glory of God.
God needed Moses’ obedience. His job was to
stretch out his hand in the earth and command the
will of God to be done. God had to have someone
who was loyal and would dare to act on His Word.
Moses was faithful and when he stretched out his
hand, God extended His hand and performed
miracles, signs and wonders! God needs faithful,
obedient people in this hour because He is going to
once again show Himself strong in the earth.
God revealed Himself to the children of Israel as
the covenant-keeping God, Jehovah. He performed
whatever signs and wonders were necessary to bring
them out of the bondage of Egypt. God needed
Moses—they worked together. God was able to use
Moses because Moses knew His ways. Moses’ heart
was loyal toward God, and he made himself available
to God. “He made known his ways unto Moses, his
acts unto the children of Israel” (Psalm 103:7). Had
Moses not been faithful to know God’s ways, the
children of Israel would never have seen God’s acts.
Today, the Spirit of God is dealing with us in
much the same way He dealt with Moses. We have
experienced a move in the Body of Christ in which
God has taught us His ways. We’ve learned to live
according to the Word. We’ve been taught to walk by
faith and not by sight, because God needs a body of
people who have a solid foundation in His Word. He
needs those who will not be blown to and fro by
every wind of doctrine and who have made God’s
Word the final authority in their lives. Those who
know how to depend on His Word will be the
backbone of this move of the Spirit.
I believe we are the generation that will usher in
the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Before He comes,
God will manifest Himself more intensely than He
did during the time of Moses. He will pour out His
Spirit on all flesh. Think of it—the Spirit of God
revealing Himself to flesh!
Since Calvary, the only thing Satan has been able
to use against the Church is the weakness of the flesh.
He has had to depend on deception through this
weakness in order to be effective in his work. His
power in the spirit realm was broken when Jesus was
quickened—made alive—with eternal life and raised
from the dead. Legally, Satan’s hold over mankind
was forever broken by the Lord Jesus Christ.
God has revealed Himself to our generation in the
spirit. We have learned to hear God in our spirits and
to know Him by His Word. For the most part, He has
not revealed Himself in a way we could see, hear or
feel in the natural realm. We have had to walk by faith
and not by sight.
Satan has reigned in the area of the flesh. This has
been his only avenue. But now, God, in His mercy
and love for man, is going to sweep into the realm of
sight and sound by His Spirit with signs and wonders.
In this final, great harvest of souls, God is going to
take over the flesh realm. Satan will have no place to
call his own! But Jesus said that false prophets would
also arise in the last days and show signs and wonders
in order to deceive the very elect. This is why the Word
of God must remain our foundation.
