In 1988, God repeated something He had said to the Copelands in 1967 that put them on a course toward destiny. The Lord had said:
‘I told you that I was coming so soon that I wanted this uncompromised message of faith on every available voice. I have not changed. I have not released you from that assignment.’
God added a new and seemingly impossible direction, giving them an assignment that would be the biggest step of faith they had ever taken: ‘I want you to begin airing daily, 30-minute broadcasts through which you will teach believers who they are in Christ Jesus. Bring them from religion to reality.... Use these programs to teach, not preach. Continue your weekly broadcasts on Sunday and do your preaching there.’
They didn’t have the money to go on daily television. They also didn’t have the personnel, the equipment or a studio. But what they did have was that one word from God. And they had their faith. That was all God needed!
