3:00Genesis 1 and verse
3:0427 tells us that we are created in the

3:24female created he
3:26them you are the only creat
3:30on this
3:33earth that
3:35is absolutely like
3:40God you are so much like God that you
3:44are a
3:46Creator sir somebody needs to say I'm a
3:51Creator I'm a
3:54Creator I create
4:03I I I am I am
4:08creating a
4:11culture around
4:14myself I'm creating a culture in my
4:19home I'm creating a culture on my
4:23workplace I'm creating a culture in the
4:26school that I go to
4:30wherever I
4:32go I am creating a
4:37culture
4:39you understand that no animal has the
4:42ability to create a
4:47culture no other
4:49creation has the ability to create a
4:51culture
4:53only you because you're the only thing
4:57that's made in the image of God and
4:58after the likeness of God
5:01I'm going to make a
5:02statement in this building right now
5:04that you've absolutely got to get a hold
5:07of everybody in this place you you you
5:10you can't even imagine how important it
5:13is that you hear what I'm teaching in
5:15this place tonight that I I I can't I
5:18can't
5:19estimate how important it is that you
5:22listen to what I'm teaching and what I'm
5:24talking about
5:28tonight you you are
5:31connected to every other living thing on
5:35this
5:37Earth every living thing on this Earth
5:39has a
5:41frequency and you're connected to that
5:44frequency that frequency is connected to
5:47you nothing in this earth or in this
5:50globe is
5:57unconnected but here's the thing that
5:59you you've got got to get a hold of that
6:00I'm I'm about to say that you've got to
6:03grab a hold of
6:04this because whether you're a success or
6:07a failure is Not an
6:10Accident whether you're a success or a
6:13failure is not even connected to what
6:16happens to
6:18you whether you're a success or a
6:21failure has nothing to do with your
6:22environment all this stuff that we've
6:25talked about and all this stuff that

6:29that
6:30that this person is a is a product of

6:53true that is only
6:56true to the level
7:00that they allow to be a themselves to be
7:02a
7:08victim it's only
7:12true if that's the culture you
7:21create the there there's too many
7:24people that were
7:26born without arms and legs
7:30right and become a
7:35success the the the the fastest
7:39runner the fastest
7:42runner in the last decade or well I
7:45guess in the last 20 years the fastest

8:06home and became the fastest runner on
8:09the planet with no
8:20legs listen to
8:23me you're connected to every
8:27atom every organism

8:55it and you're the only creation on Earth
9:00Earth that has the power to affect
9:04everything in the universe around
9:11you you you you you got to hear what I'm
9:13telling you right now are you ready for
9:18this
9:20life does not have the power to happen
9:23to you
9:29but you have the authority to happen to
9:39life and you're it's just up to you
9:41which way it
9:46goes here's what the Bible
9:49says the Bible says in Proverbs 23 and 7
9:54could we go there right quick Proverbs
9:56chapter 23 and verse 7 Proverbs 23:7
10:01here's what the Bible says and many many
10:03people misunderstand this Proverbs 23
10:06and7 says for as a man thinketh in his
10:15heart it does not say as a man thinketh
10:18in his
10:21mind because your mind and your heart
10:24are two different compartments
10:29anytime that Bible says heart or most of
10:31the time when that Bible says heart it's
10:32talking about your
10:34soul it's speaking of your
10:40will the mind is not the
10:42heart the heart is what you
10:47are the mind is a temporary Clearing
10:50House of temporary
10:53thoughts all kind of stuff can come into
10:57your mind
11:00it's like you're out fishing with a net
11:01and you you take that net and you throw
11:03it out there in in in and and and all
11:06kind of stuff pulls into the boat in
11:09that net you got little hardhead catfish
11:12and you got junk and and you got trash
11:15and you go through there and you call
11:18it that's the mind the mind is that net
11:22are y'all with
11:24me the
11:26heart is that live well all right
11:31yes and you take out of that net the
11:34things that you want and you put it at
11:37that live will and that becomes your
11:39catch that becomes what you're bringing
11:42in the mind is going to have all kind of
11:44stuff come into
11:46it as you go through life you're going
11:49you're going to be riding down the road
11:50and you're going to start thinking on
11:51something you going to be where did that
11:52thought come from and you got to cast
11:55out vain imagination
11:59you got to cast out bad thoughts and
12:01negative thoughts and you only let into
12:04your heart are you listening to me you
12:06got to be very careful what you let into
12:08your
12:13heart man I'm just telling you right now
12:16I would hate to know that I was that
12:18that I was the thoughts that I had in a
12:24day I would hate to know that I was a I
12:27I had became or turned into the thought
12:29thought that I had in a daily time
12:30period because fear is going to come
12:32into my mind and aggravation is going to
12:34come into my mind and anger is going to
12:36come into my mind and there's sometimes
12:38that people do things to me and I just
12:39can't imagine the words that come to my
12:46mind but you can't let that in your
12:51heart oh man you you got to hear what
12:54I'm saying right now as a man thinketh
12:56in his heart what are you letting in
12:58what are you allowing to really think on
13:01it's one thing for a thing to a thought
13:03to come to you it's another thing for
13:05you to dwell on that
13:11thought oh you you're not hearing me
13:13it's another thing for you to ruminate
13:15and and take that thought and like that
13:17thought and and and wrap your arms
13:19around that thought and put that thought
13:21in you got to call that thought you got
13:24to immediately get rid of that thought
13:26because listen to me you are a
13:29[Applause]
13:33Creator this isn't a help a self-help
13:36speech this is right out of the word of
13:41God Psychology today sounds so much like
13:45the
13:47Bible is the as the atheists have tried
13:50to walk walk away from the word of God
13:52all they found is that the word of God
13:54is
13:57true and that
13:59is that you are creating a culture in
14:03your
14:05business and whether your business makes
14:08it or
14:10fails whether your finances make it or
14:13fail is largely not going to be
14:16dependent on the circumstances
14:18surrounding it it's going to be
14:21dependent on how you
14:23think and that's just all it is to it

21:16we man there there's there's celebrities
21:19that's wrote books about how bad it is
21:21and how horrible it is and we I struggle
21:23every day you know why because they're a
21:25victim to life you don't become a let me
21:29tell you something you're created and
21:30made in the image of God you are a child
21:33of God and it is his will that you be
21:35well and it
21:40is one of these days I'm going to have a
21:44wreck or I'm going to have a sickness
21:46that's under
21:48death because nobody's made it off this
21:51globe without it
21:53yet be seated and I understand that I
21:56don't know when that time's coming for
21:58me but until
22:04then until that
22:07day I'm
22:09well and I'm happening to life and life
22:12isn't happen I'm not a victim to my
22:14circumstances I'm not a victim to my
22:16surroundings I'm not even a victim to
22:18the sicknesses that come to this body
22:20I'm getting well and I'm getting better
22:24and I'm walking out of this and this is
22:26not going to be an eternal thing for for
22:29[Applause]
22:31me so good because I am a Creator yes
22:36and this is going to sound like pop
22:38psychology but it's not pop psychology
22:40it is it is the
22:42Bible and that is that the Universe
22:45around you
22:47on responds ex to how you think and how
22:52you
22:54speak it don't respond to those
22:56temporary thoughts that's in your mind
22:59abolutely it responds to what you let in
23:01your
23:08heart and that's
23:13why the person that is in
23:16control of their
23:19heart you can't get in their
23:26head you said brother Copeland I I don't
23:29believe that the word let me just tell
23:31you
23:32something there are people in this world
23:34that everything they touch falls
23:37apart you ever known anybody like
23:40that everything they touch is a
23:44disaster everything that happens to them
23:47happens
23:49bad you know you try to help
23:53them man it's like throwing good down a
23:57bad well
24:00and you think what's wrong with these
24:02people it is because their entire
24:05thought
24:07processes is a victim
24:11mentality they're just a victim to life
24:14they've just they have become a victim
24:16to their
24:18surroundings and they couldn't have a
24:20good outcome if they wanted to you know
24:22why because as a man thinketh in his
24:24heart so is he you know what that means
24:27it means that every everything in the
24:29universe either responds positive to you
24:31or negative to you depending on how you
24:34think and how you
24:38talk that's why I can't hardly handle
24:40being around someone that complains all
24:43the
24:46time why would you do
24:49that why would you complain all the time
24:52and talk negative all the time and have
24:55all this what boy your Luck's about like
24:57mine boy if I didn't have bad luck I
24:59wouldn't have no luck at all well that's
25:01just the way the ball bounces well
25:02that's just way thing happens in my
25:04world boy if it's going to happen bad
25:06it's going to happen why would you do
25:12that why would you do that to
25:19yourself listen to
25:23me every Power of the universe is either
25:25working for you or it's working against
25:29you depending on what's coming out of
25:32your
25:36mouth because you are a
25:41Creator you're made in the image of God
25:43and you're made out after the likeness
25:45of God and therefore if God is a Creator
25:47then you are a creator of your own
25:50world you're creating how things are
25:53going to
25:56be and it's up to you
26:02you and listen I hope you don't mind
26:05mind me giving you the personal
26:07references but when I came here to
26:09pastor this church in this little town
26:11you can't believe the people that told
26:13me you won't be there 18
26:17months that's a preacher killing
26:19Church man they just going to run you
26:22off you'll never make it
26:25there you can't have Revival in a town
26:27of 200 140 people man you're bigger than
26:31that town you ought to be pastoring in a
26:33big town
26:37somewhere and I'm telling you every time
26:40they'd say it the hackles would rise up
26:43on my
26:47back I'd say you're not going to say how
26:49things are going to be in my world
26:52you're not in control of how things are
26:53going to be in my life that's right
26:56yes if God can do it anywhere he can do
26:59it

30:27culture of life at your house or it's

31:41just like those thoughts come try my
31:43faith but I'm tearing down this
31:45stronghold and and this may have come
31:48into my life but I'm going to haveen I'm
31:50going to victimize it it's not GNA
31:52victimize
31:54me you can't let those bad times stay
31:58you got to immediately rise up against

32:30man I'm feeling
32:33resistance well you just don't know how
32:36things are around my house only because
32:37you're letting them be you are a child
32:40of the king you are bought with a price

32:46will of God that you prosper and be in
32:48health even as your soul
32:51[Applause]
32:55prospers and if you think poverty that's
32:57what what you're going to have and if
32:59you think poverty somehow religious then
33:01that's what you're going to
33:03have I want you to listen to me the
33:05blessing and the favor of God the
33:07blessing brother brother Copeland's
33:11helping me preach tonight amen
33:17hallelujah listen to me this I I'm
33:20telling you can't imagine how important
33:22what I'm telling you is right now what
33:25I'm preaching to you is so vital yes
33:31it
33:32Hallelujah you got to let positive
33:35things come into your life and into your
33:36world
33:39you you're creating a culture of
33:43Hope and
33:46life and laughter and peace in your home
33:50are you're creating a culture where you
33:52gripe and you complain and you're
33:55negative let me let me tell you
33:57something
33:59if you have a
34:00poverty
34:04mentality that
34:07shrivels and
34:09restricts your hopes and your dreams and
34:11your mind and therefore the blessing and
34:15the favor of God can't fit in that
34:17restricted impoverished shriveled up
34:21heart there's no room for the blessing
34:24and the favor of God in
34:26there and so therefore what you're going
34:28to have is poverty and negative and bad
34:32things but if you could ever through
34:35faith and through
34:37prayer expand your heart and open it up
34:42and let it
34:48flow I I got to get back up here to my
34:50notes because
34:53I you can live your life hanging on and
34:57thinking that hanging on to everything
34:59and be being stingy and and and and not
35:02not not giving and holding on is how you
35:05how you get get somewhere in
35:09life that that's not in line with the
35:11word of God at
35:14all I I want you to listen to this just
35:16a
35:26minute charity
35:29giveth itself
35:31rich and stinginess hoeth itself
35:41poor a stream of Plenty will not flow
35:44toward a stingy doubting Mind and
35:49Spirit there must be a coresponding
35:52current of generosity and
35:53open-mindedness going out from us one
35:56current creates the other and a little
35:59rivulet of Stingy mindedness a weak
36:02poverty current going out of ourselves
36:04can never set up a countercurrent toward
36:07us of abundance generosity and plenty
36:10our mental attitude determines the
36:13countercurrent which comes to
36:20us when you get Sting you you stop the
36:25flow and so therefore when things get
36:27tight you ought to just give more you
36:30ought to just change your mind toward a
36:33toward a giving thought
36:38process can I ask you
36:40something are the biggest churches in
36:45Pentecost the biggest churches in
36:48Pentecost I do the big largest churches
36:51in Pentecost give the most because
36:52they're largest church in Pentecost or
36:54do they are they the largest churches in
36:56Pentecost because they given the
37:02most you missed
37:05it do they give the most because they're
37:07the largest or are they a largest
37:09because they gave the
37:24most there there's a there's a church in
37:26Texas this year
37:28that gave
37:29$1.7 million to
37:33missions $ 1.7
37:39million they gave that away to the
37:41missions
37:45program you say man there must be a lot
37:48of money in that
37:51church well last year they gave 1.3
37:58and the year before that they gave a
38:00million dollars during
38:06covid so if if if
38:09giving makes you
38:16broke if you can give yourself broke how
38:19are they still
38:22surviving how does any church give so
38:25much I have so much that they can give
38:27three million dollars
38:32away I'm not I'm not making sense to
38:39y'all if the law of God really
38:42works then the reason they're able to
38:44give 1.7 million this year is because
38:47they gave a million two years
38:49[Music]
38:50ago and if it don't
38:53work why hadn't we figured it out by now
38:57all right
39:00on if it don't work why isn't we proven
39:03that by
39:07now why aren't there churches everywhere
39:10claiming
39:15bankruptcy I don't I don't understand
39:17why it's already so quiet am I bogging
39:19y'all's Minds down or y'all having
39:22trouble thinking or what what's the
39:25deal you know we hear of rest going
39:27bankrupt we hear of individuals going
39:31bankrupt we hear of businesses going
39:33bankrupt when's the last time y'all
39:34heard of a church that went
39:39bankrupt what's the
39:43difference because churches are are
39:45built to
39:47give that's what they're built to do
39:49they are built to give they are a
39:51nonprofit organization that's built for
39:54money to flow through not stay in yeah
39:58that's right and the more it goes out
40:00the more that comes in and the more that
40:02goes out the more that comes
40:03in you see God just sets it
40:07up that God plays Simon
40:12says God God is excellent at the game of
40:15Simon says he does what you do if you
40:18give he gives and if you tighten down he
40:23tightens down and if you open up the
40:25flow he opens up the flow it's called
40:28Faith that's how Faith Works but you got
40:30to make the first move because it's not
40:32Faith somebody said man if I if I got a
40:35million dollars I'd give a half of it to
40:38the church no you
40:40wouldn't because you don't give 10 when
40:42you have
40:5220 he said the way I make you ruler over
40:55large things is you prove you can be a
40:57good ruler over small
41:00things you got to give first it's not
41:03faith if he has to give you a million
41:04dollars before you give half a million
41:06right it's
41:09Faith it's faith when you give 10 when
41:12you have 20 it's faith when you give 50
41:14when you have a 100 that's faith and
41:16that's what opens up the flow it's not
41:18Faith unless you make the first
41:21move that's why you got to open it up
41:24going out and then he responds by
41:26opening up coming to you you're waiting
41:28for it to come but it don't come to
41:30stingy Minds it don't come to stingy th
41:33thought processes you got to get liberal
41:35for it to come to you and I promise you
41:38I promise you you can never put a flow
41:41out that's larger that he can sin
41:44because he's
41:46[Applause]
41:51God somewhere you got to change your
41:54thinking and you've got to take
41:56responsibility
41:59I'm almost
42:01done but you've got to take
42:03responsibility that I am responsible for
42:06what's going on in my
42:12world because if you start playing this
42:15victim game you're always going to have
42:17something to
42:18blame there's always going to be some
42:21situation something out there that you
42:22can blame you can blame the economy you
42:25can blame your vendors you can blame
42:27your customers you can
42:30blame I mean it's always been that
42:38way the reason little towns like
42:40Sebastapol go through a pastor every two
42:42or three
42:45years is because guys come
42:48here and and they don't have a they're
42:51not in the right flame frame of mind and
42:54they start blaming the people and they
42:56start blaming the town and it's a
42:58burnover field and no one wants the
43:03gospel and the more they create that
43:06culture and the more they speak that
43:07stuff the worse it gets and the more it
43:09bogs down until they living for God and
43:13going to church there is like waiting
43:14through a 55 gallon drum of
43:21molasses or you can decide I'm not a
43:25victim to my circumstances
43:28and I and I control other situations
43:31that other situations don't control
43:34[Music]
43:37me I came here making up my mind that
43:40this town was not going to be was not
43:42going to control The Narrative of Pine
43:48Grove but I was going to change the way
43:50the town viewed this
43:52church oh you're you're not hearing me
43:55on I came here believing that I was
43:58going to be in control of what how they
44:00thought about this church and I was
44:02going to be in control of how they
44:03talked about this
44:07church I I know it's an old it's an old
44:10story but you got you got to hear
44:13me it's an old story and it's an
44:16old uh illustration I don't know what's
44:19whether it's even true or not but it's
44:20still
44:23works a shoe company
44:27sent a Salesman to another country to
44:29sell
44:31shoes and he got there and he
44:35immediately set a telegram back send me
44:37a ticket and bring me
44:40home they don't even know what shoes are
44:44in this country nobody's ever wore shoes
44:48here the climate is conducive to going
44:51Barefoot when I try to show them shoes
44:53they don't even know what I'm talking
44:55about
44:57just send me a ticket and send me
45:00home you know what that is that's a man
45:03that's a victim to his
45:05circumstances he feels like he's a
45:07victim to where he is he thinks life
45:10happens to him instead of him happening
45:12to
45:16life and the shoe
45:18store because it was the company it was
45:20and because it was a sales
45:22Corporation just sent another salesman
45:25over there
45:27and he got
45:29there and he immediately telegrammed
45:34back he said you send me all the shoes
45:37you can send I don't care if they're
45:40white pink orange blue it doesn't matter
45:43what color they are it doesn't matter
45:44what size they are you send me boxes and
45:47cases and flats of shoes because no one

45:54country needs a pair of shoes
