Kenneth Copeland Ministries Partner and Retired Air Force Colonel Pete Ford shares how God promotes. During his 26-year career in the military, he saw how the best kind of promotion came when he drew closer to the Lord. While he admits that someone can work hard in their own right and earn promotion, he found that promotion from God comes more naturally and with greater joy. 

Colonel Ford came to know the Lord at a young age, and he remembers listening to teaching by Kenneth Copeland as a child. His own father was a minister. Colonel Ford expected that he would follow in his father’s footsteps and enter into the ministry, but the Lord had other plans for him in the field of military aviation. His first airplane flight happened when he flew to Colorado Springs to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. He admits that initially he joined the Air Force as a way to receive a quality education, but in time, promotion came and with it great sense of purpose. He knew God’s hand was on him.

During his career in the Air Force, Colonel Ford flew eight or nine tours and five combat tours in the Middle East. He was then promoted to an instructor position. In time, he learned that promotion was secondary to pursuing the presence of God. 

“Being promoted into His presence is real promotion,” he says. “That’s real joy.”

Watch Colonel Pete Ford talk about how God promotes and why His promotion is the best kind.
