Kenneth Copeland Imparts TL Lowery's "Mantle" to Stephen Lowery (V)

Old Time Country Preacher · Acts-pert Poster Posts: 15570 **3/6/16 1:28 am**

I'm not sure who took this video, it looks like it was taken from the audience with perhaps a cell phone. I've not seen (or been able to find online) the entire NCCOG memorial service, but, If I'm not mistaken this is the memorial service for Rev. T. L. Lowery at the North Cleveland COG. Kenneth Copeland and Perry Stone are on the platform at the mike, Copeland is speaking to Rev. Stephen Lowery, and tells Stephen several things:

1. When I lay my hands on you, I am going to impart to you the mantle of ministry that was on your father.

2. You will experience "almost immediately" a 10-fold increase in ministry results.

3. Later on, you will experience another 10-fold increase.

Praise the Lord! Dr. T.L. Lowery had friends in the faith world.

Maybe some of you need to go a little lighter on Dr TL's friends. Rolling Eyes

I am 'almost sure' if one wanted a GOOD PROFESSIONAL copy of the memorial service it could be had. Personally I am not interested. TL was well liked, he was a blessing to many, fact is he is gone. Everyone goes sooner or later, as long as the Lord tarries. Even Copeland will pass on, I am sure there are folk who wish that would be sooner. (That statement is NOT directed at any one on this Forum, I know folks who wish the man the worst due to personal reasons.) Embarassed

Note: I ain't from Tennessee, and being born and raised in North Carolina, I thunk NCCOG was North Carolina Church of God, and I'm wondering ? ? ? Confused

At times I am slow on the uptake... Confused

I have known Bro Lowery all of my life. I love Bro Lowery. I am assuming Steve Lowery invited Ken Copeland to speak at his Dad's funeral. They are friends. I get it. I have never seen, nor understand, Biblically, what Insaw in that video. A preacher transferred an anointing from a dead man to his son and proclaimed it to be a 10 fold anointing. im not saying it's wrong. I'm saying I don't understand and don't know by what scripture there is an authority to do such. I love Steve and Janice Lowery.

Out of respect for a great man of God I encourage us all to stay very positive in regard to anything to do with the passing of one of God's great soldiers of the faith and his funeral.

I was wondering when someone would bring this up.

First, TL Lowery was a servant of the Lord. Few COG ministers have had such a well-known and highly visible ministry. From tent crusades, to pastoral work at North Cleveland, to administrative work, then back to pastoral work and building a small church just out from DC into mega-church, the Lord used Rev. Lowery in so many ways. He certainly has my respect for his many accomplishments in Christian ministry.

Second, I also respect Stephen Lowery. To assume the leadership of the church his father built, and for that ministry to continue to flourish, required more than a simple father/son transition. Stephen Lowery is called/gifted in his own right, and he too has my respect.

Third, because of that respect, posting the link in the OP was/is in no way an attempt to be "less than positive" or to be "negative" about the passing or funeral or TL Lowery. I had the link 2 days before posting it on Acts, and weighed the pros/cons of posting it, knowing that some would cry "foul" or "the timing isn't right," etc. The longer I mused over the issue, the more I realized that regardless of the length of time allowed to elapse before posting (whether 2 days of 20 years), because of who it is (Rev TL Lowery) there would always be some who would say "it shouldn't have been posted."

Fourth, based on items in 1-3, I decided to post the video. I would have done the same thing if the video had depicted Ray Hughes and his son Ray Hughes Jr, Charles Conn and his son Paul, Frank Culpepper and his son Raymond, et al. Why? Because the contextual focus of the video is not so much about Rev Lowery and his son Stephen as it is about the assertions/actions of Kenneth Copeland. This and this alone is why the video was posted.

So, Kenneth Copeland had good motives, but Ole Timer had bad ones. Laughing

I find zero biblical basis for what Copeland did in that video. But, that's not at all surprising.

Impartation was a major part of T L s ministry - certainly in his later years. Look up some of his videos from the past 15 years and let TL spell out for himself from scripture why he felt impartation was for "today".

As Brad pointed out - KC was using the nomenclature from TL himself in that prayer.

You are then free to make your own determinations.

I just want to understand by what authority does a man have in taking the anointing of a dead man and imparting it into another man and proclaiming it to be a 10 fold anointing. Forget who it is. Anybody have a Biblical reference to such?

I have never understood why anybody who names the name of Jesus Christ would ever desire any other mantle/anointing than that same Spirit which raised Christ from the dead. There is no more powerfully anointed man who has ever lived than Jesus, and it is He alone who baptizes believers in Him with the Holy Spirit and fire.

What is a bit confusing to me is that if what Kenneth Copeland did was not correct, why did the Holy Ghost speak through Jan as he laid hands on her?

If what Kenneth Copeland did WAS correct, shouldn't there be scripture to validate it?
