EVERY CELL HEARS YOUR WORDS

If you are interested in staying young, listen very carefully to what I'm going to say, because I will reveal to you the secret of how not to grow old, and it is not only effective, but also fully consistent with Scripture. Gloria and I have experienced it and live in the results it brings.

I feel better today than I did twenty years ago. I have such good eyesight that I can still fly jet planes. I have good hearing. I don't take any medications, and I don't have time to get sick. I'm too busy preaching around the world and enjoying life with Jesus.

Psalm 103 says that our YOUTH is RENEWED.
You can say, "Brother Copeland, that's a commendable attitude. But you know how it really is. In the end, we all get old and tired.
It's inevitable." No. I refuse to agree with such statements. In fact, I haven't said anything like that in the last forty years. And not because I didn't have a reason to say so.

• There have been times in the past when it seemed like my whole body was screaming at me that it was aging and wearing out.
• There were days when my back was telling me about it,
• and my knees were telling me about it,
• and my head was telling me about it.
• But when they did, I didn't sit listening to them. I answered! I quoted these scriptures from Psalm 103:

"Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His benefits. He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your ailments; He delivers your life from the grave, crowns you with mercy and bounty; He fills your desire with blessings, your youth is renewed like an eagle" (verses 2-5).
I told my body: "Listen to me! I'm not an old man! My youth is renewed like an eagle. This is one of my advantages as the son of God. Moreover, Genesis 6:3 says that a person's days on earth should be 120 years, so I'm in the prime of my life!"

I have said such words every day for decades. Why? Because I know that when I do this, every cell of my body hears them.

• My bones hear them.
• My ligaments hear them.
• My heart hears them.
• My liver hears them.
• My eyes and
• my ears hear them.

And they REACT to them because I didn't come up with these words myself. They came from my Heavenly Father. These are His WORDS and His POWER in them. He told them to me through the Bible and quickened them for me with the Holy Spirit, and when I say these words, He supports them with His power and fulfills them.

Don't listen to what the world is telling you about this. If you continue to listen to them, then eventually you will say what they say, and this is what the devil wants.

He wants to catch you so that at the age of thirty you start saying that you are getting old. Every time you forget something, he wants you to say, "Yes, I've heard that first of all memory is lost. Ha ha ha!"

It's not funny! This opens the door for the devil to enter your life. When you say what he says, you give him permission to do things and fulfill these negative words.

So don't do that! If your body is attacked by a disease and it tells you that it will take your life, do not agree with it and do not repeat what it says.

Tell that disease to shut up! Then tune in to God and say what He says about you. And He says something completely different. He says, "By the stripes of Jesus you are healed" (1 Peter 2:24).
