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!

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!

God’s Word is not a rulebook to limit humanity’s pleasure. He created your Bible as a power-filled guidebook and operations manual on how to live and experience life at a new level—a life of love and peace, free of guilt, fear, lack, sickness and all the other distresses of mankind!

During these days in which we’re living, it’s vitally important to understand that Satan has NO power! The only influence he has over us is what we give him when we believe his lies over the Word of the Living God!

The greatest truth and mystery of all time is the miraculous work accomplished on the cross. It set the stage for a new humanity to emerge from the ashes of sin, shame, and spiritual separation from God, and continues to work just as powerfully today. Jesus didn’t just die for you, He died AS you, and raised you up with Him as a totally New Creation!

At the heart of the New Covenant lies a deep confidence that God has ALREADY DONE everything for us. Our part is simply to respond—to allow Him to do for us and in us what His grace has already given to us. We enter into the rest of faith, believing what God has said and continuing to thank Him for it!
