In an effort to promote Paeans, for God's Kingdom, I sent an autographed copy to Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
A copy of Kenneth Copeland's uplifting response, the letter reads:
September 29, 2003
Dear Valerie, Thank you for the special gift you sent. We not only receive the thoughfulness of your gifts, but also count them as seeds sown in faith. We're standing with you for a harvest of blessing. We praise God for believers who have chosen to do their part in God's plans to bless them with divine health, prosperity, spiritual knowledge and His own niracle-working power. What is our part in God's plan to bless us? It's to "put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness" (Ephesians 4:24). Holiness is a daily decision of our will to be one mind with God--to live and act in agreement with Him. There's a connection between your decision to live a life that is pleasing to God and having the faith to allow His power to work in you. Your decision to walk in holiness puts you in position to receive God's power in any situation you face. Abraham's decision to "command his children and his household...[to] keep the way of the Lord" was necessary if the Lord was to "bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him" (Genesis 18:19). God's people have a part to play in receiving His promises. There's a connection between living a life that is pleasing to God and seeing the demonstrated power of God. Holiness is your "power connection"! We love you and pray for you, rejoicing that God's power is at work in your life. JESUS IS LORD! Kenneth Copeland
