You don't want to leave this earth earlier than
God intended. You want to stay here long enough
to do everything He planned and be able to say
before you take o for heaven, "I have fought a
good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).
Otherwise, you'll miss out on things God has
in store for you here. Plus, the Church will miss
out on the fullness of THE BLESSING you are
divinely called to be.
This happens in the Church all too often. The
LORD told me so some years ago. I was reading
in Genesis 6:3, where He said man's "days shall
be an hundred and twenty years," and I heard
Him say on the inside of me, Kenneth, that's just
as much My WORD as 'By My stripes ye were
healed.'
Pointing out to me how over the years His
Anointing on me has continued to increase, He
said, There are 110-year, 115-year and 120-year-
old anointings I don't have in the earth—and I
need them! Then He asked if I would agree to stay
the full 120 years.
"I'll do it, Sir!" I said and accepted the mission.
Some might call it a "mission impossible," and
it would be if I were doing it on my own. But I'm
not. I'm doing it by faith in God and with Him all
things are possible. So 120 years, here I come!
I don't care how many changes I have to make
in my diet. I don't care how many miles I have to
run. I'm doing this for my Commander in Chief.
He needs me, and I'm not going to back down.
"But Brother Copeland, doesn't Psalm 90 say
we're only promised 70 or 80 years?"
No, it says that's how long the Israelites
lived during the 40 years they wandered in the
wilderness. Psalm 90 is Moses' prayer for them.
Crying out to The LORD because their rebellion
and unbelief were shortening their lives, he said,
"All our days [out here in this wilderness…] pass
HEAVEN IS A WONDERFUL PLACE. IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER,
I'M SURE YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING THERE
SOMEDAY. I'M ALSO FAIRLY SURE YOU'D RATHER NOT GET
THERE SOONER THAN YOU SHOULD.
