The wonderful truths of Christianity raise us from nobody to somebody, from simple to wise, from weak to courageous. These unmatched truths become living realities in a person when that person hears and chooses to believe them. What makes us like God and not like robots is our ability to choose!

As we enter this New Year, I encourage you to spend additional time with the Lord, tuning in to His signals from heaven! We have antennae designed to pick up God’s wavelength. Let’s fine-tune the signal and not ignore the transmissions He is sending!

What will the future hold as you stand once again on the threshold of a new year? You can declare with confidence that you are more than a conqueror in every situation as Romans 8:37 declares. Why expect the worst when ALL things are possible to those who believe, as Jesus has spoken? Why believe it will be a time of fear and isolation, when Jesus said I will never leave you nor forsake you?

Whatever is in your heart in abundance is what’s going to come out of you when you find yourself in the difficulties of life. How do you prepare to overcome in every situation in 2026? Spend time in God’s Word! Proclaim God’s Word and remind yourself of His many promises to you. Don’t let the world and the devil throw you into fear and hopelessness—come against those lies with the truth of God’s Word!

Jesus gave to us the gift of eternal life along with the gift of His Word. Every day of our lives we can choose to unwrap the exciting treasures that are contained within those gifts!

The turning point in the world for the future of mankind was when God revealed Himself through His Son, a baby born in a manger. God identified with us as His Son grew into a man and continually demonstrated the Father’s heart of love as He healed, delivered and set captives free. Your breakthrough is coming to you because of that breakthrough 2,000 years ago!

According to Colossians 1:27, Christ now lives in you. So, where is the presence of God? It’s not over there somewhere, or just up ahead, or waiting for you at church. The glory of His love, His life and His Spirit came to live INSIDE you the moment you were born again!

Jesus has purchased all humanity back from the enemy, from the broken and so-called “unusable” people who are considered worthless by society, to those perched upon high pedestals and revered throughout the ages. We are ALL redeemed by His precious blood. “And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices” (Hebrews 10:18). When our sins are paid for, they are no longer held against us. We are paid for in full!

We are God’s conduits of blessing. You can be a bathroom faucet or a huge industrial pipe, it’s up to you. God is pouring out His blessing from heaven 24 hours a day, but you decide the amount that will flow through you!

Right now, you and I can embrace the truth of God’s Word that says NO giant of sickness, lack, or oppression of any kind that comes against the living God can exist in the presence of the One who lives in us, who believes in us, and who goes about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil!
