At the start of every year, many people believe they need a big fix in their lives. They experience the tension between where life is and where they believe it should be. Relationships may feel strained. Finances may feel tight. Divine health, peace of mind or a sense of purpose may feel out of alignment.
To bring that peace of mind and awareness of what God is doing in this year, Kenneth Copeland seeks God to discover the central message for that year. For 2026, he declared the word of the Lord that 2026 is the Year of the Big Fix.
This year is a time when God will bring restoration to what seems broken in the world and in believers’ personal lives. He is bringing healing, freedom and provision. The Big Fix can begin in everyday areas such as divine health, godly relationships, supernatural finances and spiritual life as believers focus on Jesus and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The question becomes: How do we apply the Big Fix in everyday life?
Identify What Needs Fixing
Every good story begins with a clear problem. In your life, that problem might be fear, debt, broken relationships, poor health or spiritual drift. Instead of ignoring these areas, invite the Holy Spirit to reveal where adjustment is needed.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
Psalm 139:23-24
Ask yourself:
- Where do I feel stuck or out of alignment?
- What area of my life needs God’s restoration?
- What habits or beliefs may need to change?
The Big Fix often begins with honest reflection and a willingness to let God work in specific areas of life. As 1 Peter 5:6 states, “Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God….” As we humble ourselves before God, we position ourselves for a breakthrough.
Recognize Who Is Guiding You
For believers, your guide is God, working through His Word and the Holy Spirit.
In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus gave us His central purpose: He came to bring good news, freedom, healing and deliverance.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free.”
When we fix our eyes on Him, we begin to see that the power needed for change has already been provided. He has done it all for us already!
Instead of trying harder on your own, learn to listen, trust and follow God’s direction. The ‘secret’ is that simple!
Follow the Plan
Believers shouldn’t rely on temporary resolutions but on quality decisions that don’t waver. Resolutions don’t seem to last, but a faith-filled decision can radically reorder your life, even if that decision seems insignificant.
Applying the Big Fix means making intentional choices. Obedience to the Lord is key, even in small things. Decide today to spend an extra 15 minutes in the morning praying. Call the person with whom you’ve had a strained relationship. Reprioritize your budget to pay off debt quicker. Volunteer in your local church (this can be as simple as agreeing to make a meal for a church member in need).
Small, faithful decisions create lasting transformation, especially when you realize the outcome is not reliant on you. After all, “What is impossible for people is possible with God” (Luke 18:27). Restoration is based on God’s plan and ability, not on yours.
Use the Authority You’ve Been Given
Part of the plan involves recognizing the authority believers have through the Name of Jesus. When you speak and pray in faith, you partner with God’s work of restoration (Mark 16:17-18).
Instead of agreeing with problems, speak God’s promises over your life:
- When anxiety over your children comes, confess from Isaiah 54:13 that “great shall be the peace of my children”
- When sickness affects you or your family, focus on speaking healing scriptures
- When oppression attacks your mind, find freedom by declaring that the peace of God guards your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).
Faith-filled words align your life with what God is doing. So, choose to speak only life and life more abundantly over yourself and your family (John 10:10).
Expect Restoration
Every powerful story ends in transformation. The promise of God is that He is restoring what was lost and aligning what has been broken.
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” Joel 2:25 (NKJV).
This doesn’t happen through passive hope. It happens as believers walk with God step by step, trusting that He is actively working. 2026 isn’t meant to be a year of fear or uncertainty. It’s a year to believe that God is bringing restoration in ways both big and small.
As you walk through 2026 with faith and expectation, believe God will restore what has been broken; and accept His invitation to actively partner with Him through prayer, faith and obedience.
