Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored Ambassador of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
"May the Peace and Grace of God be Multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!"
"May the favor of the Lord our GOD rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us--yes, establish the work of our hands."
-Psalms 90:17
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
When we walk in GOD'S favor, there will be Restoration of everything that the enemy has taken from us. We will experience Greater victories in the midst of greater odds. Battles are won in which we won't even have to fight because GOD will fight them for us. There will be Supernatural increase of our wealth. HE will show mercy (Psalm 119:58), and our petitions are more likely to be granted (Esther 7:3). When we know how to attract the favor of GOD, by embracing CHRIST'S New Covenant of Grace and Unmerited Favor, good things will happen in our lives that are: unexpected - unexplainable and unintended.
Beloved, GOD wants us to begin to walk in HIS favor while we are still in our youth. This will allow favor to form an intimate relationship with us; teaching us to depend on GOD'S Favor and not just on our labor. And JESUS increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with GOD and man. (Luke 2:52). Beloved, Luke 2:51-52 tells us how to attract the Favor of GOD in our lives. JESUS is our example of how to relate to the FATHER. As FATHER GOD told JESUS to return to Nazareth and become HABITUALLY OBEDIENT to Him as a way of lfe, He is expecting the same of us. It is at that point that we will begin to grow in Favor with GOD and with man.
Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored Ambassador of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
"We have access by faith into this grace.". – Romans 5: 2
Beloved, Palm Sunday is a great reminder that because we are in CHRIST and are established in His message of the Gospel of Grace, we have already begun to laugh with GOD as He continues to turn our “Mess” into a “Message of Hope and Empowerment” for the nations of the world. CHRIST’S Passion Season is an appropriate time to acknowledge that because of His Great Grace and Unmerited Favor, our struggle has been transformed into our influence and our reign for the Glory of GOD and the advancement of His Kingdom.
Beloved, don’t underestimate our value to GOD and in the lives of so many others, even those who we may never meet face to face in this world. GOD has promised to give us an extra measure of His Grace so that He can exert His holy influence over our lives to strengthen us and to increase and strengthen our faith. There is so much prophetic manifestation right ahead of us. Stay focused on Him and His great promises and great love.
Beloved, in closing, Palm Sunday is a good time to reflect on the fact that GOD’S Incredible Grace has done the marvelous, the unbelievable, and the extraordinary in our lives. We move confidently in CHRIST into our bright future. We know that are future is wonderful and better because GOD has ordained that it will do us good and not evil. Beloved, KEEP RESTING IN THE BLESSING - JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored Ambassador of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
"..[JESUS] was delivered up because of our offenses, and
was raised because of our justification.” -Romans 4:25
Beloved, Resurrection Sunday is a great reminder of the incredible price that JESUS paid so that we could have the Grace needed to access salvation and the life that the FATHER had ordained for us.
Without the sacrificial atonement of JESUS CHRIST on Calvary, we could not have the legal right to His message of the Gospel of Grace, Unmerited Favor, and total forgiveness of sin. The time is now to understand the power of CHRIST’S’ resurrection as never before! When He rose from the dead on Resurrection Sunday, CHRIST conquered not only the grave, but also death and its many forms that we have to deal with because of Adam’s sin, such as failure, confusion, sorrow, fear, doubt and discouragement.
The Resurrection of JESUS CHRIST is FATHER GOD’S confirmation of His unconditional love and unmerited favor for us, not only in this life, but also through eternity. The Resurrection of JESUS CHRIST is Heaven’s receipt that we are completely forgiven, so that we can be bold and have great faith to believe Him for great and might things. This is the secret to walking in the power of His perfect, finished work and for seeing His salvation manifest in every area of our lives!
Beloved, in closing, Resurrection Sunday is the necessary time to reflect on what GOD’S Incredible Grace has done for us. He has done the marvelous, the supernatural, the wonderful, the unbelievable, and the extraordinary in our lives. We have absolutely no fear in moving confidently into the deeper dimensions of our future and destiny.
Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!“
"You shall remember all the way which the LORD your GOD has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. "He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD."- Deuteronomy 8:3-4
Beloved, today we celebrate the completion of 29 years of ministry, and pause at this point on the journey into the deeper dimensions of the rising of our gifts in Victory 2014 to acknowledge the Incredible Grace and Unmerited Favor of GOD that has made DDE@COPI the miracle church and people that we are in CHRIST. All praise and thanksgiving are extended to GOD in acknowledgement of His Great Mercy and Loving Kindness that have empowered us, directed us, instructed us, developed us, polished us, corrected us, favored us, promoted us, and protected us all of these marvelous years.
Beloved, during these past 29 years of ministry, GOD has not led us where His grace has not kept us. GOD has not taken us where His loving and powerful arms have not supported us. GOD has not blessed us where the riches of His grace and mercy have not supplied us and met all of our needs. Beloved, GOD has not led us where His word has not protected us and explained the journey to us, always miraculously blessing us through and at the end of every struggle.
In closing, Beloved, this is our season and year of Victory 2014! During these almost three decades of ministry, GOD’S Great Grace and Loving Kindness have done the incredible and the impossible for us. As we continue to advance forward into the Finished Works of CHRIST concerning DDE@COPI and our individual lives, we decide to remain in the New Covenant Blessing Zone of GOD’S Covenant of Grace and Rest so that the waves of His Glory can manifest all that He has for our corporate and individual destinies. It is all for His Glory- Amen!
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!“
“Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.” -Hebrews 13:18
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
The Destiny Dome Embassy @ Cathedral of Praise, International is a New Covenant and Gospel of Grace Ministry. Grace is the Unmerited Favor of GOD available to us in CHRIST. However, at its core, Grace is the Person of CHRIST, Himself. Grace is also the Spirit of Honor. It is for that reason that although we have been given great and precious promises in CHRIST through His atoning work on Calvary, honor and dishonor are statements of faith or lack of it which decide to what extent those promises are manifested in our lives.
Our future is determined by who we have chosen to honor or chosen to dishonor. Our relationship with GOD is the code of honor that our gifts need in order to be effective in the Earth. It is through honor that GOD touches the hearts of those who He has given the authority to open doors into our Prophetic Future. Honor is a seed that will outlast a lifetime. Without honor, the Glory of GOD resting on our gifts cannot rise in the Earth and bring us before great men! Honor is the greatest seed that we can ever sow. Honor is the greatest seed because it is able to be sown dimensionally. We can sow Honor in our present and it will minister in and to our future. Where Honor is not present, as believers, we have no other choice than to dismiss ourselves.
Beloved, we must remember that honor is able to meet a plethora of needs at one time where it is able to be sown. In years such as 2014 in which we have access to seasons of Open Heavens and Open Doors of Opportunity, honor is crucial and non-negotiable. Beloved, we can confess the promises of GOD and pray concerning their manifestation; however, it is our ability to honor that will decide whether or not GOD’S grace will give us the power to receive. Honor decides if blessings can be released in our lives. Beloved, the fullness of GOD is available to us in 2014. Let’s not forget to honor and watch honor do the impossible in our lives and destinies.
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!”
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,” -Phil 3:13
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
What does walking in the New Covenant of Grace require when GOD makes it plain that He is not in an old move that was part of an old season of purpose? His Grace lifts and beckons us to let go of what He is finished with and prepare to move on into the next dimension of destiny. Grace is received by faith. New seasons of purpose and destiny require that we learn to forget what is behind us and press on forward to lay hold of what is ahead.
Beloved, letting go doesn’t mean that we’re losing something. Letting go is often GOD telling us that our future is very bright. It’s His way of reminding us that there are deposits of greatness in each of us, so we can decree it and set ourselves in agreement that something extraordinary and big is on the way. Grace is trusting GOD’S declaration of His Unmerited Favor in our lives. Holding on to what GOD has let go of will cause us to miss the deeper dimensions of the good that He has ordained for us in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.
Every moment of every day is a moment of decision that requires us to discern the things that we have allowed to remain in our lives beyond their allotted time. Every day, we and we, alone, will have to decide whether or not it is more important for those things to remain, or is it more important to let go so that GOD’S Great Grace and Unmerited Favor can work GOD’S incredible plan for our lives without being hindered. This is the protocol by which we are able to advance into the deeper dimensions of destiny, not so much for us, but for GOD’S Glory and the advancement of His Kingdom on Earth.

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!“
“After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.”- Job 42: 10
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
Forgiveness is a powerful thing! Forgiveness is a necessary thing! Forgiveness is a good thing! Forgiveness is a Kingdom thing! Forgiveness is a GOD-thing! Beloved, our gifts have begun to rise in the Earth. Un-forgiveness is a hindrance to the rising of our gifts and our advancement into the next season of purpose and dimension of destiny. There is no need for us to hesitate to forgive, regardless of what was done to us. GOD’S grace has worked wonders in our lives and is poised to do the impossible in our future. We must forgive and desire the best for everyone.
As with the restoration of Job, our true advance into the deeper dimensions of destiny is preceded by our forgiveness of those who have offended and hurt us. GOD’S Grace (Unmerited Favor), through the Blood of JESUS, has forgiven us of all our sin debt. We must now at this crucial destiny-crossroad, allow His grace to flow in us and through us as we forgive others and desire nothing but GOD’S best concerning them. Job’s gifts had come to a standstill during his time of turmoil, in large part because he was in a battle with bitterness and un-forgiveness. Once he forgave, his gifts once again were free to produce the blessed life that GOD had ordained for him from the beginning. The same is true for us as New Covenant believers. It is time for us to do what Job did –forgive and let GOD release us into the blessings and Kingdom influence that are waiting in our future and new dimensions of destiny.

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD! “
"By wisdom the heavens were made”- Psalms 136:5
Beloved, our gifts are precious to GOD and needed by humanity. 2014 is a crucial year for our gifts and therefore, it is also a crucial year for us to embrace and submit to the Wisdom of GOD as never before. Wisdom is the ability to correctly apply knowledge. Our gifts need GOD’S knowledge in order to fulfill the assignment for which they were given to us.
Our gifts and callings are too great to be handled without the Wisdom of GOD. The wisdom of the world cannot cause our gifts to be effective. We must totally depend on GOD. His wisdom is greater than knowledge. To have knowledge means that we possess certain facts. We can have knowledge and not know how to apply it. GOD’S wisdom gives us the ability to apply what we know and what we know how to do, at the right times, in the right ways, so that we can receive strategies, insight, understanding and direction that our gifts need in order to work at maximum capacity and effectiveness.
In closing, Beloved, the Bible says in Proverbs 2:6: “For the LORD gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of His saints.” We need to give the Wisdom of GOD free course this year so that it can change our perspectives and expectations concerning our present and our future. The Wisdom of GOD attracts favor to our lives in unimaginable and supernatural ways. Let’s move boldly and confidently with humility into the depths of our Season and Year of Victory in 2014, seeing the Wisdom of GOD empower our gifts so that we can fulfill the purpose for which they were given and the purpose for which we were created!
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored Ambassador of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
May God bless you with his special favor and wonderful peace as you come to know Jesus,
our God and Lord, better and better. – 2 Peter 1:2
Beloved, we have already begun to laugh with GOD as He is turns our “Mess” into a “Message of Hope and Empowerment” for the nations of the world. Our struggle is being transformed into our influence and reign for the Glory of GOD and the advancement of His Kingdom. Lives are being transformed right in front of our eyes. He has anointed our eyes to see the possibilities in the impossible. GOD has prepared a table for us in the presence of our enemies. Our cup is already beginning to run over for the Glory of GOD.
Ambassadors, the Wisdom of GOD has already begun to function in our lives, causing us to walk in new dimensions of our purpose and destiny. 2014 will be a year of financial independence for many people, especially Covenant Believers who are aligned with GOD’S Word of Grace and Truth. Through His Grace and Favor, GOD will give us revelation, insight, and Kingdom Strategies that will cause us to make wise investments and reap financial breakthroughs, but only to the degree that we are willing to wait for and follow His leading.
Beloved, in closing, 2014 will be a year when “Crazy Multiplication” comes upon many of our finances as believers, but also in the U.S. and world economies as a whole. We will enter a time in the Anointing for 2014 when GOD has chosen to be KIND to us and cause life to once again SMILE on us and work for our favor. Get ready to experience, maybe for the first time what it really means to be debt free. The Prophetic Word has gone forth. We have entered a season of full recovery and breakthrough; that is why it is good that we contended for the faith and didn’t grow weary in seeking GOD. In 2014, we will walk out of a life of limitations and restrictions through an Open Door GOD has set before us, into a place of ABUNDANT AND EXCEEDING GRACE.
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!

May God bless you with His special favor and wonderful peace as you come to know JESUS, our GOD and LORD, better and better. – 2 Peter 1:2
Beloved, GOD has already begun to do incredible, miraculous things in our lives this year! We have already begun to laugh with GOD as He turns our “Mess” into a “Message of Hope and Empowerment” for the nations of the world. Lives are being transformed right in front of our eyes. He has anointed our eyes to see the possibilities in the impossible. He has anointed our mouths to speak great and mighty things! The New Thing that He promised and purposed to do has already begun to spring forth!
Ambassadors, the Wisdom of GOD has already begun to function in our lives, causing us to walk in new dimensions of our purpose and destiny. Our love walk is unlocking new authority and power that had previously been off-limits to us, in the Mighty Name of JESUS! We are beginning to understand GOD’S testimony concerning our true identity in that we were created to be crowned with Glory and Honor, causing our influence and dominion to reach nations for the Glory of GOD and the advancement of His Kingdom. In everything, we have learned that we win and we have learned to win. Beloved, it is amazing, even in what looked like a tragedy, a loss or failure, at this point in Victory 2014, we have already seen GOD manifest His intent to use it to advance us into deeper dimensions of His great purpose and plan for our lives.
In closing, Beloved, this is our Season and Year of Victory in 2014! GOD is poised to continue to work the impossible and the incredible for us. Where GOD’S Great Grace, Unmerited Favor, and Loving Kindness are taking us is far better than what He has had to take us out of. The shame, failure, and regret have been evicted out of our present and our future. They will forever be simply distant memories of a time when we were yet unfolding into the people we were destined to become. We have learned to respond to revelation in love, trust, and faith in GOD and His Unfailing Love for us. GOD’S Grace has and will continue to change everything!
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!
