Relieve Your Holiday Stress with DIY Christmas Ideas

Do you ever scroll through social media and think, “I could make that myself”? Many people feel that spark of creativity, especially during the holidays. The modern “DIY”—do it yourself—movement first gained traction in the 1950s and ’60s as families embraced personal creativity and hands-on projects. Today, DIY culture has grown into a vibrant expression of resourcefulness that can bring joy, meaning and even a little peace during a busy season.

During Christmastime, DIY Christmas ideas can create opportunities to slow down, breathe and celebrate simple, shared moments. Working with your hands—alone or with others—often lifts holiday stress and fills your home with joy.

Here are some simple, cost-effective DIY Christmas ideas you can try this season:

These projects are fun, meaningful and easy to personalize. They also help bring ease into a season that can sometimes carry more holiday stress than we expect. But even with all the creativity Christmas brings, there’s one part of life you were never designed to DIY: building the life God intended for you.

You can craft ornaments, centerpieces and handmade gifts, but you cannot create a blessed, victorious life through your own effort. God never intended for you to be self-reliant. Instead, He lovingly provided every resource you need to live strong, confident and full of hope.

God Provided Jesus

God’s greatest demonstration of love wasn’t abstract—it was demonstrated through His Son. Scripture tells us in John 3:16 that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, making His love unmistakably clear. Jesus is heaven’s perfect gift, sent so you could be restored, redeemed and lifted above the pressures that often create holiday stress in the first place.

When you receive Jesus, you aren’t just forgiven for every wrong you’ve ever done. You’re stepping into every promise God prepared: victory, wisdom, strength, and the ability to overcome adversity. Receiving Jesus is the provision you could never create for yourself. Through Him, you have access to everything needed to live a full, blessed life.

God Is With You

Fear of abandonment can settle deep within the heart, sometimes beginning in childhood and following us into adulthood. But God speaks directly to those fears. In Hebrews 13:5, He promises, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” His presence is steady, faithful and unwavering.

Whether you thrive on independence or feel overwhelmed by the pressures of the season—including holiday stress—God’s heart remains the same: You were never created to carry life on your own. He stands with you, ready to strengthen and steady your life when you call on Him.

You Can Ask God for Help

Many imagine God as distant, but the Bible shows us a Father who is intimately involved in every detail of our lives, from where we work or live to even the day-to-day decisions we must make. Nothing is too small or too large for Him.

Hebrews 13:6 declares, “The Lord is my helper.” Luke 12:7 reminds us that “the very hairs on your head are all numbered,” showing just how deeply He cares. Psalm 91:11–12 says He will “order his angels to protect you wherever you go” and “they will hold you up with their hands.”

Jesus also sent the Holy Spirit—your Helper and Guide. In John 15:26, Jesus describes Him as “the Spirit of truth” who testifies of Jesus and leads you into all truth. When you ask God for help, you’re honoring Him by trusting His care and His willingness to intervene.

You Have the Name of Jesus

God hasn’t left you unequipped. He placed a powerful tool right in your mouth: the Name of Jesus. When Peter encountered a man who had been lame from birth, he said, “In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” (Acts 3:6). And the man walked.

Philippians 2:911 teaches that God has given Jesus “the name above all other names,” and that at His Name “every knee should bow.” Every force that tries to rise against you—fear, sickness, lack, turmoil or holiday stress—must bow to Jesus. When you pray in His Name, you activate God’s authority and power in your life.

You Have Authority Over the Devil

Jesus did not leave you powerless. He said in Luke 10:19, “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy… nothing will injure you.” The enemy always comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but he has no right to dominate your life. James 4:7 gives you a simple formula: submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

You resist him through the Word of God, the blood of Jesus, and the authority Jesus placed in your mouth. You are not fighting the devil; he is a defeated foe. He has been defeated by the blood of Jesus. When you resist the devil, you enforce the victory Jesus already won.

You Belong to a Family of Believers

Just as the human body relies on every part, believers thrive within a community of faith. First Corinthians 12 explains that each part of the Body of Christ is joined together on purpose. Verse 26 says, “If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.”

This is why being part of a local church matters. A church family stands with you, prays with you, and walks with you through seasons of joy, growth, challenge, or holiday stress. You were not meant to DIY your life. You were meant to grow, flourish and walk in strength alongside others who believe.

You Were Never Meant to DIY Your Life

You can enjoy countless DIY Christmas ideas this season—beautiful décor, handmade gifts, and creative projects that bring joy and help relieve holiday stress. But when it comes to building a thriving, victorious life, God never intended for you to rely on your own strength.

He provided Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, the Name of Jesus and a family of believers to walk with you every step of the way.

As you enjoy the DIY projects that make this season memorable, remember this truth: God provided every resource you would ever need to build the life God intended for you, and to enjoy a blessed, victorious life!

Begin a Christmas Wish List That God Can Fulfill

What is on your grown-up Christmas wish list this year?

Can you remember a time when you received everything on your Christmas wish list? How did you feel? Opening presents on Christmas morning to discover that every item on your wish list has been fulfilled means that someone who loves you heard you and wanted to give you everything your heart desired.

Every parent looks forward to seeing a bright smile on their child’s face as they unwrap the presents they requested, especially when such time and effort went into finding the perfect gifts and wrapping them with seasonal paper and colorful ribbons. But would a parent give a child something on their list if it were harmful or detrimental to them? No, of course not!

The same is true with your heavenly Father. Matthew 7:11 says that if you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask God.

Unlike the idea of a large man in red coming down the chimney, our Father yearns to fulfill the desires of your heart that are for your good and according to His design and purpose (Romans 8:28), as you work with Him in doing your part to believe Him and act on what He says.

While you ready your Christmas wish list for loved ones this year, make a quality decision to look to God as the Giver for the plans and purposes—good things—He has for you and wants to do in your life.

Let’s find out how to begin a Christmas wish list that God can fulfill.

Seek First the Kingdom of God

Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33, NKJV). What does it mean to seek first the kingdom of God?

Some believe it means turning to God first thing in the morning, before your phone, computer or anything else. Others think it means to ask God, seeking guidance from Him, about things before you do them. All these things are true!

Gloria Copeland first read Matthew 6:33 because it was written in the front of the Bible her mother-in-law had given Kenneth. When she read it, her eyes were drawn to the word “things” because she needed a lot of things! She had a long Christmas wish list, as it were. She and Kenneth were living in a rental home with barely any furniture and had accumulated lots of debt.

When she realized this scripture said she had a part to play in receiving those “things” she needed, she believed it and was born again. She gave her life to the Lord by saying, “God, take my life and do something with it.”

The Holy Spirit highlighted a part of Scripture to Gloria so she could step out and act on the Word. Giving her life to God marked the beginning of her journey of walking with God, learning from Him and seeing His promises come to pass in her life.

What does Matthew 6:33 mean to you? “Seeking the kingdom of God” could mean many things in your present circumstances of life. How can you “seek” personally?

  • Find a church to get involved in
  • Spend time reading the Bible every day
  • Spend time in prayer and fellowship with God
  • Ask God how to become stronger in faith
  • Forgive the people who hurt you
  • Give the first ten percent of your income
  • Step out to do something God told you to do.

God will guide you, step by step, as you seek Him first and His ways. This is the first step in developing that Christmas wish list that only God can fulfill.

Ask God for What You Need or Desire

Like Gloria, we can desire many “things” in life. Look at your own Christmas wish list, for example. Your unspoken needs and your written wants all speak to what’s in your heart. Just as a parent wants what is best for their child, God wants the best for us. In addition to seeking first the kingdom of God, we can humbly come to God and ask Him what we need or desire.

The biblical principle of asking God is threaded throughout Scripture. Jesus talks about “asking God” in Matthew 7 and John 16. David talks about “laying his requests before God” in Psalm 5. And God reminds us to “call to Him and He will answer us” in Jeremiah 33.

James 4:3 says, “And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.” 

As we position our hearts toward God, we can ask God for what we need and desire. We don’t need to wait for a Christmas wish list. The Lord calls it “prayer.” In God’s omniscience, He sees the end from the beginning. He sees the future. And always, He wants to protect us, lead us and guide us to the good things He has prepared for us.

God actually puts desires in our hearts as we spend time with Him. Psalm 37:4 says, “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” As we delight in the Lord, He gives us desires, and as we follow those God-given desires, He will lead us into the plan and purpose for our lives. God works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure, satisfaction and delight (Philippians 2:13).

This Christmas, take time to seek God and hear from Him. Document those desires as they rise in your heart. Be specific as you ask Him for the things you need, knowing that He loves you and desires to give you good things.

Don’t Give Up, Be Persistent

If you’ve ever been around children at Christmas, you understand the meaning of the word “persistent.” How many times have you heard a child ask, “When can I open my presents?” They are looking to see what they received from their Christmas wish list. They might say it many times a day. Oftentimes, for a parent, that could be annoying or wearisome.

But could it be that God views persistence in a different light? Scripture paints for us a beautiful picture of how God sees persistence in the parable Jesus shared with His disciples.

Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’

And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.”

“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened” (Luke 11:5-10).

Jesus shared this story to remind us not to give up, but to be persistent in our prayers. God never gets tired of us praying and asking. Indeed, our “shameless persistence” gets His attention.

Persistence is also needed because we have an adversary, the devil. Ephesians 6:12 tells us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (KJV).

Take a Stand With Your Christmas Wish List in Prayer

As we stand firm on the Word, ask God what we need, and don’t back down or give up, we will see God fulfill His plans and purposes for our lives.

Be encouraged that God will perfect those things that concern you (Psalm 138:8) and He will  (Psalm 37:4). As you and God work together, He does a work in your heart, causing your desires to line up with His desires for your life. God’s plans for you are perfect and from heaven itself. Allow him to do a work in your heart to fulfill that grown-up Christmas wish list this year!

God’s plans for you are perfect and from heaven itself. Allow him to do a work in your heart to fulfill that grown-up Christmas wish list this year!

Life Unlimited Food Ministry Helps Ease Burden of Food Insecurity

A worker at Life Unlimited Ministries carries groceries for those in need.

For 25 years, Life Unlimited Food Ministry’s (LUFM) mission has been to give hope and encouragement to people that are facing food insecurity.

Throughout the year, Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC), an outreach of Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM), partners with LUFM to put food into the hands of Fort Worth, Texas, families in need.

Lack of food, commonly known as “food insecurity,” is a bigger issue than simply having an empty pantry or an empty belly. According to foodbankonline.org, effects of hunger include mental and emotional strain leading to anxiety, school attendance problems and overall community health issues. 

LUFM not only meets the physical needs of families to help ease the burden and stressors of an empty pantry, but they also endeavor to meet their spiritual needs. Each week, a 20-minute devotional lesson is done with the families before the food distribution takes place.

As part of their support of Life Unlimited, EMIC regularly receives food donations from church congregants at their campus, located just north of Fort Worth. These donations help with LUFM’s weekly food distribution. In addition, the EMIC Outreach team has volunteers that faithfully serve at LUFM each Thursday morning. This ministry work ensures that families in the Fort Worth area don’t have to wonder where their next meal will come from. 

Holiday Food Collection

The need for food is amplified around holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas—often synonymous with gathering around a table filled with food, surrounded by loved ones.

However, for many that is not the case.

This is where ministries like LUFM are paramount in helping hurting people.

Each year, EMIC collects thousands of food items to aid with the LUFM holiday distribution so that families won’t have to worry about whether they’ll have food for the holidays.

From frozen turkeys to canned vegetables and boxed mashed potatoes, families are well supplied to celebrate in abundance.

Thanks to modern technology, readers from all over the world can help with LUFM’s holiday food collection. Whether you’re reading this from small-town USA, or from somewhere on the other side of the globe, you can contribute so that Forth Worth families won’t have a Christmas riddled with food insecurity.

EMIC has created an Amazon wish list, enabling donors to purchase items that will be sent directly to the church. From there, EMIC will deliver the items to the LUFM property for their Christmas distribution day on Dec. 20.

Each year, approximately 300-350 families receive food for their holidays, and approximately 400-450 kids receive new toys through the church’s toy collection drive in partnership with LUFM. This is made possible by generous people just like you.

EMIC Members Use Childlike Faith To Make Adult Decisions

Two chairs on a porch

Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC) member Christina Riesco grew up in a house where she was taught childlike faith. She became familiar with applying faith in her life because her mom had cassette tapes by Kenneth Copeland playing constantly in the living room.

Christina would listen to the messages, believing that one day she could think and do what she saw teachers like Kenneth Copeland and Joyce Meyer doing and speaking.

However, as Christina grew up, she forgot about the dreams she once held in her heart. But God didn’t forget.

“God remembers those childlike desires in our hearts, and He wants to pour out His blessing on us. He wants it to be overflowing in our lives,” said Riesco.

As the years passed, Christina got married and eventually moved to Texas with her husband and five children. In their new state, their housing situation looked impossible: Five kids, two bedrooms, one bathroom.

Moving into something bigger seemed out of reach. But their daughter had childlike faith for a bigger house.

God is a generous Father, and He delights in us when we come to Him with our faith in His Word and a desire to put it into practice. (Hebrews 11:6)

Through a series of unexpected events, God helped them supernaturally sell their smaller home and provided a much larger house with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. And all it took was applying faith and believing in prayer.

“Throughout the whole process, it supercharged my faith again,” said Christina. “To have childlike faith like I did as a little girl, and that my daughter showed me all over again.”

This journey to a larger home was a reminder for Christina that God can do everything beyond what she could ever think of, ask for or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

Increase Without Sorrow

For Christina, it was an encouragement to see God honor her childlike faith and to be reminded of the dreams she had in her heart as a little girl.

“We may forget, but God remembers those things. He hears our dreams that we have inside of our hearts, and He is calling them forward for the believers to arise and receive what God has for them.”

The Riescos learned firsthand that believing in prayer meant they didn’t have to strive to achieve the result, and they didn’t have to stress to make the dream happen.

“When you put God first, everything else follows, and there’s increase for you and your family without sorrow,” said Christina.

What encouragement does Christina give to believers with a dream in their hearts? “Whatever it is that God puts on your heart, whatever you have the childlike faith to believe for, God will bring it about on the other end.”

Manage Family Drama and Confidently Enjoy Your Thanksgiving

Dining table set with turkey and sides as relatives gather, a moment that reflects classic Family Drama during festive meals.

What comes to mind when you think about Thanksgiving? Is it dinner and the fixings, or is it more of the same family drama when everyone is at the table?

Are you looking forward to family and friends gathering, being thankful for bountiful blessings, and the feast of turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie? Of great talks, family games and football with everyone getting along?

What if your Thanksgiving holiday experience is nothing like the idealistic movie version, but rather a hectic time of family drama where strong personalities, opinions and traditions result in clashes that take the joy out of the celebration?

No one disagrees that getting along with others is paramount for an enjoyable Thanksgiving celebration, but many may not know how to navigate family drama. Differing opinions regarding politics, religion, even sports and traditional holiday foods can be a source of contention at a family gathering, with everyone wanting their opinion to rule the day.

Follow these tips this Thanksgiving so that you are prepared, spiritually as well as practically, to minimize family drama and keep the peace as much as it depends upon you.

Love Others as Jesus Loves You

Whether in the world or in the Church, the idea of loving others is prevalent. In the Church, you will hear, “Love one another.” In the world, you will hear, “Love wins.” Either way, love is an emphasis most people can agree on, even if they don’t truly understand what loving others really means.

However, a Christian should love others as Jesus loves them—unconditionally. Jesus said, “So now I give you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” Any motivation other than the love of God in your heart is neither healthy nor pleasing to God. How could focusing on others be motivated in the wrong way?

Think about your motivation:

  • Are you showing favoritism or flattery to someone?
  • Are you focused on being seen or acknowledged by someone?
  • Are you trying to keep the peace and avoid conflict at all costs?

If anything other than the love of God in your heart is motivating you (Romans 5:5), you may find yourself disappointed, and your reactions can end up contributing to family drama instead of resolving it.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have a resource to help you understand the love God has for you and how to live in that love daily: Limitless Love, a 365-Day Devotional.  

Choose Words of Peace

The idea of controlling everyone around you may be appealing, but that is not possible. Thankfully, you do have autonomy over your own thoughts and words. You have the responsibility to control your words, words you can use to ignite a conflict or calm even the most tense of conversations.

What does the Bible say about the power of words?

  • “Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body” (Proverbs 16:24)
  • “Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing” (Proverbs 12:18)
  • “A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare” (Proverbs 15:1).

Using your words to calm a situation isn’t a new idea; therapists and psychologists tout the benefits of choosing words carefully, and even taking some time to breathe deeply before responding to an angry, inflamed person.

How much more powerful is a word spoken in due season to someone (Proverbs 15:23)! As you are compelled by the love of God in your heart, you can speak the words that bridge divides, heal brokenness and exhibit the boundless love of God in action.

Establish Clear Boundaries

Family drama can often be connected to a lack of communication, unclear responsibilities or even simple misunderstanding. Clearly defining who is responsible for what can pave the way for a peaceful Thanksgiving gathering. Areas you can address and agree on in advance can include:

  • Where will the gathering take place?
  • Who is handling and paying for food preparation?
  • Are there any special recipes to be included?
  • To whom is the invitation extended?

Discussing these topics and others in advance will mitigate any family drama. If there are areas where disagreements remain, remembering that it is the gathering itself and the recognition of the blessings of God that matter, not whether it is sweet potatoes or mashed, will help keep the focus on the Lord and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Establish a New Family Tradition

Going on a family vacation or a weekend getaway brings out the best in people because everyone is relaxed, not stressed, and focused on the new place they are visiting, the sights to see, the amusement park to enjoy, or the natural wonders to explore. Establishing a new family tradition at Thanksgiving could work in the same way: It can offer excitement, hope and anticipation for the day.

The options for a new family tradition are endless. Here are a few ideas to consider:

  • Choose an outdoor or indoor game to play as a family
  • Go to a theater to see a movie after the meal
  • Take a walk after the meal
  • Volunteer at a homeless shelter that serves a Thanksgiving meal
  • Decide to silence phones or turn them off for the meal.

Elicit the ideas and opinions of other family members in deciding what new family traditions should be established. They will have ideas and suggestions you haven’t even imagined. Any opportunity to pull other family members into a decision shows respect and love for them.

Instead of blindly hoping your Thanksgiving will be different than previous years, choose to prepare your heart and mind ahead of time with these strategies and resources on how to manage family drama so you will not only enjoy the turkey and pumpkin pie, but you will also enjoy the fellowship of everyone around your Thanksgiving table.

3 Ways the Holy Spirit Leads You Into Divine Truth

An illustration of a man holding a lantern searching in the fog

It’s easy to get led astray without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Over time, influences such as friends, coworkers, and television can erode truths that were already established in your heart through the Word of God. Suddenly, biblical truths seem “outdated” or “fanatical,” and the opinions of others have more influence over what you once studied. 

Could this really happen to you? Read 2 Timothy 4:3, NLT.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

Unless you guard your heart from anything outside divine truth.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future (John 16:13, NLT).

You can learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and avoid being swept away by deception. To learn divine truth for your life, study God’s Word and apply what you have learned in your life. Then, you’ll see how the Holy Spirit guides you in these three vital ways.

1. Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs us on how to allow the Lord to direct our steps by not relying on our own understanding to make life decisions. That goes against the natural grain, but it’s the only safe way to live. 

Our own understanding is often led by emotion or limited facts. It’s fickle, ever-changing, and often driven by the opinions of others that sound right in the moment. The only truth is found in God’s Word. It can be challenging to stand up for the truth if you don’t know the scriptures. Too many Christians are ill-equipped to stand for truth.

The Holy Spirit will help you, but God will “hasten over [His] word to perform it” (Jeremiah 1:12, KJV). Trusting God’s Word, and not our own understanding, is to make that a reality in your life.

2. Pull Down Strongholds

A stronghold is a deeply ingrained personal belief system that colors a person’s perception of themselves and those around them. It can come from a cultural norm, a political ideology, religious traditions or even a social movement. 

Of strongholds, Andrew Wommack says, “The one who is holding to the stronghold may not wish to be against God in their thinking, but the stronghold is so deeply rooted that they aren’t even aware that they are filtering God’s Truth through the lens of the stronghold. Strongholds allow deception.”

The fundamental characteristic of deception is that the one who is deceived doesn’t know it. The stronghold has become an integral part of their approach to life and their pursuit of truth. Even Truth must be shaped and filtered to fit the mold of the stronghold.”

We battle strongholds in the spiritual realm through prayer, binding wrong spirits and speaking the Word of God. That’s why 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, ESV tells us where to focus in prayer.

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.

3. Put God First Place in Your Life

The only surefire way to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into divine truth is to know His voice and hear it louder than any other voice in your life. And the only way to know His still, small voice is to put God first place in your life. 

You do this by:

  • Spend time with Him every day—in His Word and in prayer.
  • Pray continuously throughout your day. 
  • Remember to pray in the Holy Spirit! As Kenneth Copeland says, ” When you speak with the tongues of men and angels in love, you can find out anything.”
  • Seek Him all week long—not just on Sundays.
  • Allow Him to bring correction to your heart.
  • Be open to hearing from Him on all matters.
  • Look in His Word in its entirety for answers.

When you truly desire to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into divine truth, He will. Don’t become so stuck in your ways that you fail to see the truth right in front of you. Be willing to be wrong—be humble and teachable. Then, you will be free from deception and walk in the light of the truth all the days of your life.

God Wants You to Believe in Miracles

Person standing by a sunlit window with plants, gazing outside as Miracles feel possible in a calm urban setting.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to believe in miracles? That pleases God. He wants you to believe in the promises He made to us. But have you found yourself hoping, praying, and wondering when—or even if—your breakthrough will come?

You’re not alone. Throughout history, people have waited on God for miraculous healing, provision, and restoration. What, then, do we say when the miracle has yet to come to pass? Sometimes, the very thing that keeps a miracle from happening isn’t God’s delay—it’s our understanding of how God’s power works.

The Man Who Waited 38 Years

Picture the man at the Pool of Bethesda. He had been there for 38 years, watching others receive healing when an angel stirred the water.

Jesus asked, “Do you want to be healed?” The man didn’t answer the question. He explained why it hadn’t happened yet. He believed in miracles—but his faith was tied to the pool, not to the God of miracles standing right before him.

Then Jesus said something that changed everything: “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk” (John 5:8).Jesus commanded the man to step out in faith based upon who Jesus was, not the potential of the pool. The focus had changed. The breakthrough had arrived.

At that moment, divine power took action. The man obeyed—and what he had waited nearly four decades for happened instantly. No striving. No delay. Just the power of God responding to faith centered upon the God of the miraculous.

This man chose to believe in miracles because of who Jesus is, and only then did he receive.

The Same Power To Believe in Miracles Lives in You

You might wonder, What does that have to do with me?

After all, Jesus isn’t walking the streets in human form anymore. But when you received Him as Lord, His Spirit came to live inside you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is now living in you (Romans 8:11).

That means miracle-working belief and divine power aren’t far away—it’s right within you.

When Jesus walked the earth, He could only be in one place at a time. But the Holy Spirit now abides in every believer, everywhere. He’s personal, constant, and ready to act on your behalf. The miracle-working power of God didn’t end just because Jesus rose to be at the right hand of His Father. It multiplied, which means a miraculous healing is closer than you think.

Why People Stop Believing

Still, many people hesitate to believe in miracles for their own lives.

Some think He loves others more when, in fact, that’s impossible. God loves you, and the proof is that He sent His Son to be the sacrifice to take away your sin and bring you into His family. “This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins” (1 John 4:10).

Others feel unworthy or disqualified to be touched by God’s power because of their past. Imagine how differently things would be if the apostle Paul let his past as Saul disqualify him from God’s love.

Don’t concentrate on your failures; instead, focus on the immense love God has for you and the mercy that has elevated you to the place where you can receive a breakthrough from God.

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)” (Ephesians 2:4-5).

Some believe in miracles but grow weary when nothing changes. God’s Word tells you to remain ready and to keep doing what’s right. That means believing His promises even when the results seem delayed. “And let us not grow weary while doing good” (Galatians 6:9, NKJV).

But here’s the truth: God’s will has never changed. He is still good. He is still faithful. And He still delights in showing Himself strong for those who trust Him.

Love Is Always the Source

Every miracle flows from one source—the love of God.

It’s not about your worthiness or performance. Believing in miracles is about trusting His nature. God doesn’t just have love—He is Love. Everything He does springs from that unstoppable force.

Love created the universe. And that same love sent Jesus to the cross for our sins. God’s love still heals, restores, and provides breakthrough today.

When you believe that truth, something shifts inside you. Fear begins to fade. Doubt loses its hold. Love takes the lead and consistently produces results.

God’s love moves. It acts. It releases divine power. And it makes the impossible possible.

Your Miracle Is Not Out of Reach

To believe in miracles means you know rare events are not reserved for a select few. They are the natural expression of a supernatural God who loves without limit.

The same Jesus who healed the man at Bethesda hasn’t changed. His compassion hasn’t faded. His power hasn’t weakened. God’s desire to bring wholeness to your life is just as strong today as it was then.

There are four steps to receive your miracle.

Step 1: Believe in your heart that God loves you and wants the best for you.

Step 2: Make the quality decision, one that you will not let be changed, that you have your miracle.

Step 3: Speak this belief out loud. Force away from you any thoughts or words to the contrary.

Step 4: Expect the miracle!

The woman with the issue of blood used these steps. First, she heard about Jesus and His divine power. Next, she decided to receive her miracle. Then, she spoke about what she expected to happen. Finally, she put her faith into action and her words. The result was her miraculous healing and wholeness (Mark 5:25-29).

So, when you face a situation that looks impossible, remember that God’s power is still active. It’s not somewhere distant; it’s within you.

His Spirit still moves, Love still heals, and the Word still carries authority to create a breakthrough when you need it.

The moment you believe that truth, heaven and earth align, and you position yourself to believe in miracles and receive.

God’s Love Delivering Hope and Humanitarian Aid Through Operation Blessing

What does God’s love look like?

For the people of Montego Bay, Jamaica, who were recently affected by Category 5 Hurricane Melissa, it appears to be a clean bottle of drinking water. A hot meal. The face of a stranger in a blue Operation Blessing (OB) t-shirt who says, “I’m here to help. What do you need? You don’t have to walk through this alone.”

In Veracruz, Mexico, which was recently affected by catastrophic flooding, a community kitchen has been mobilized as a vital source of relief for families in crisis.

Cebu, Philippines, was recently struck by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. There, residents and business owners could use a solar lamp to light up the darkness, a water filter to provide clean water, and a doctor to tend to their wounds.

Charitable acts like these are made possible through Operation Blessing (OB), whose mission is to bring help and hope to a hurting world by demonstrating God’s love in action. They empower people in need through compassionate, Christ-centered relief and development programs.

Their work provides more than immediate relief when disaster strikes. It engages communities in long-term recovery, restoring livelihoods and renewing local economies.

In 2025, OB has mobilized relief teams for natural disasters across the U.S. and around the globe. From the wildfires in California and Oklahoma to the devastating flood in Kerrville, Texas, and internationally to the earthquake rubble of Myanmar, OB’s armies of staff and volunteers have been the boots on the ground, extending God’s love in many different forms.

Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) has been a longtime supporter of Operation Blessing. Ten percent of all money given to KCM is immediately given to other ministries, such as OB. This means our impact as the Body of Christ is more effective as we reach hurting people on a broader scale.

Together, we are accomplishing more for the Kingdom.

To our friends at KCM, I want to say thank you so much for your continued friendship and partnership through the years. Your kindness and generosity are making such a difference,” said Drew Friedrich, President of Operation Blessing. “We’re on the ground, able to serve and do these things, because of your giving. Your faithfulness, friendship, and partnership are truly inspiring to us. It pushes us to be better and to serve more people in the days ahead. Thank you so much, we are grateful for you.” What does God’s love look like? For hurting people around the world, it seems like the hands and feet of Jesus are showing up at their doorstep when they need it most.
