Discover the Impact Your Giving Makes Through Twice-Sown Seed

Posted on by
Greenhouse filled with growing plants symbolizing the impact of twice-sown seed and the multiplying effect of stewardship and outreach.

If you’re a Partner with Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM), you’re a part of everything we do all over the world. When you sow seeds of prayer and finances into KCM, we send between 10% and 20% of that money as a gift for other ministries around the globe. This act of stewardship is what KCM calls a “twice-sown seed.”  

In places KCM can’t be, other ministries are there doing the work, being the hands and feet of Christ. Your support is helping make this happen through twice-sown seed giving that stretches farther than any ministry could go on its own.

“It’s about relationship,” said Barry Tubbs, KCM Associate Minister. “KCM is not called to do massive evangelism in Africa, but [the late] Reinhard Bonnke was. We can partner together to get the work done.” 

Bonnke’s ministry, Christ for All Nations (CfaN), was founded in 1974 and has a rich history of introducing people to Jesus through evangelistic crusades. Today, CfaN is led by Bonnke’s successor, Evangelist Daniel Kolenda. CfaN is carrying the gospel to the next generation, and Partners like you are helping fuel that mission through twice-sown seed.

Watch Daniel Kolenda show his gratitude to all KCM Partners.

CfaN recorded over 9 million salvations in 2025 alone, and over 105 million documented decisions since 1974. “We could not have done this without the help of KCM and its Partners,” said Kolenda. “Consistently. Faithfully. Over the span of 40 years, what you are doing is making a difference. Your gifts and your support are helping people find Jesus. Thank you so much.”

That’s the heart of twice-sown seed: Your giving becomes momentum—moving through trusted relationships to impact lives by the millions.

Empowering Next-Generation Leaders In Asia

That same stewardship doesn’t stop in Africa. Twice-sown seed is extending into Thailand, Myanmar and Pakistan through the work of Empower International, led by Todd and Julie Powers.

As believers, we’re mandated to preach the gospel for every man to hear, then the end shall come (Matthew 24:14). Empower International is making that happen by bringing the gospel to people who have never heard the name of Jesus.

They’re aiming to empower current and emerging leaders across central and southeast Asia. They have planted numerous churches and have built Christian schools that provide quality education for refugee and high-risk children from kindergarten to college. In addition, school assembly programs, disaster relief, women’s ministry, and leadership development are areas of focus and impact.

Everything they do aims to raise influential leaders to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the unreached nations of the world. “There’s no way we could do what we do out here without Partners like you,” said Todd Powers. “We need you, and you need us; together we can achieve great things. Together we can get the job done. Thank you for helping us share God’s love with the world.”

This is what twice-sown seed looks like in real life: believers supporting believers, so the message of Jesus can reach places where it’s barely been heard.

Hope for Families In the U.S.

From Africa to Southeast Asia—and across the United States—twice-sown seed is impacting families in practical, personal ways.

In 2025, parts of central Texas were devastated by flash flooding. The flooding, which spread across five counties, became one of the worst natural disasters in Texas history, claiming an estimated 138 lives, including children at Camp Mystic. In the aftermath, families faced widespread loss and long-term recovery challenges.

Many parents didn’t know how they were going to make Christmas happen. Thanks to generous people like you, they didn’t have to worry. KCM and our Partners helped Gates of the City Christian Fellowship in Kerrville, Texas, provide over 800 children with 3 to 5 gifts each.

 “It really opened my eyes to see how much need there is in this world,” said Jonathan Copeland, KCM Outreach Media Manager. “To be able to do that with the help of the KCM Partners was so meaningful.”

In addition to the gifts being distributed and families being blessed, over 100 people accepted Jesus as their Savior—a testament to just how valuable twice-sown seed really is.

Save a Soul, Save a Family

Mike Barber Ministries (MBM) believes, “If you can save a soul, you can save a family.”

Each year, 2.3 million people in the U.S. are affected by incarceration, one of the most unchurched populations in our country. MBM sees this population as a mission field. With that in mind, they host leadership and discipleship classes to equip inmate pastors and leaders to become stronger missionaries within their mission field, the prison. 

In 2025, MBM held 742 church services inside prisons, where over 38,000 inmates received Jesus as their Savior and over 1,000 participated in water baptism. If you’re a Partner with KCM, your generous support helped make this happen because of twice-sown seed, and because faithful stewardship multiplies what God has placed in your hands.

How You Can Get Involved

These are just four examples of how far twice-sown seed extends thanks to the power of Partnership and generous people like you.

If you would like to be part of what God is doing around the world, there are a few ways to get involved.

  • Pray for KCM Partner ministries, their teams, leaders, and communities.
  • Give as the Lord leads to help provide hope to hurting people.

The Next Generation Needs Mentorship, Not Programs

Posted on by
Students sit at desks listening to an instructor at the front of a classroom, reflecting mentorship that guides the next generation in spiritual growth today.

In Matthew 28:19–20, NASB, Jesus gives anyone able to provide mentorship a clear mandate: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey all that I commanded you.” This command is not limited to pastors, missionaries or church leaders. It is a call to every believer, and an urgent request when it comes to spiritual mentorship for the next generation.

Throughout the Bible, discipleship is modeled through close, intentional relationships. Moses poured into Joshua. Elijah trained Elisha. Paul mentored Timothy. Jesus lived daily life with His disciples. This is spiritual mentorship in action. It was never rushed, distant or transactional. His experience with the disciples was relational.

Today’s young people are growing up in a world of constant information, social media pressure and competing worldviews.

More than ever, the next generation needs mentorship that is personal, practical and lived out in real life.

If you’ve ever felt unqualified to mentor someone younger than you, remember this: God doesn’t ask you to give what you don’t have—only what He’s already given you.

Here are five practical ways to provide spiritual mentorship to the next generation in ways they can understand, trust and apply.

1. Share the Gospel Through Everyday Moments

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15, NKJV).

For many young people, the gospel won’t first be heard in a church service; it will be seen in how you live. Mentorship often begins in small, ordinary moments.

Practical examples:

  • Talking with a student or young co-worker about faith during a lunch break
  • Praying with a friend who’s anxious about school, relationships or their future
  • Sharing how Jesus has helped you through failure, grief or uncertainty
  • Responding with grace online instead of with anger, sarcasm or division.

The next generation values authenticity. When they see faith lived out consistently rather than only talked about, curiosity grows. Spiritual mentorship begins when faith becomes visible through your words, choices and compassion.

2. Move Beyond Evangelism to Ongoing Mentorship

“Go therefore and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV).

Sharing the gospel is essential, but it’s only the starting point. Biblical mentorship means walking with someone as they learn how to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Young believers often ask practical questions like:

  • How do I honor God in dating and relationships?
  • What does faith look like in college or at work?
  • How do I read the Bible on my own?
  • How do I deal with doubt, anxiety or temptation?

Practical examples:

  • Meeting regularly to read Scripture together
  • Teaching a young believer how to pray earnestly and in faith, without worrying about being “perfect”
  • Walking through biblical perspectives on culture, identity, money and purpose
  • Helping them see how faith shapes everyday decisions—not just Sunday mornings.

Healthy Christian mentorship helps the next generation build a faith that remains steady when facing challenges.

3. Model a Christlike Life They Can Imitate

“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1, ESV).

Mentorship is not primarily taught; it is modeled. Young people are watching closely, especially when life is difficult.

Practical examples:

  • Letting them see how you apologize and ask for forgiveness
  • Demonstrating how to respond to conflict without bitterness
  • Showing faithfulness in marriage, integrity at work, and humility in leadership
  • Being honest about struggles while pointing to God’s faithfulness.

You don’t need to be perfect to mentor the next generation. Transparency often strengthens mentorship. When young people see someone sincerely pursuing Christ—falling, learning and growing—it reassures them that following Jesus is possible in real life.

4. Step Into the Role of Spiritual Mentor

“In Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel” (1 Corinthians 4:15, NIV).

Many young people are searching for guidance, even if they don’t say it out loud. The next generation needs spiritual fathers and mothers, mentors who care deeply, listen well and speak truth with love.

Practical examples:

  • Inviting a younger believer to join you for coffee and conversation
  • Checking in regularly with encouragement or prayer
  • Helping them process decisions about school, careers or relationships
  • Celebrating victories and standing with them through failure.

Spiritual mentorship provides stability in a culture that often feels uncertain. Your consistent presence can shape identity, confidence and faith in lasting ways.

5. Build Genuine Relationships Rooted In Love

“If I…do not have love, I am nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:2, NIV).

Effective mentorship always flows from love. Programs, events and content are helpful, but relationships are essential.

Practical examples:

  • Spending time together outside of structured church settings
  • Creating safe spaces for questions, doubts and honest conversations
  • Encouraging accountability without condemnation
  • Speaking life, affirmation and biblical truth consistently.

Spiritual mentorship thrives where people feel known, valued and supported. When trust is built, hearts open. And when hearts open, real spiritual growth follows.

Living a Lifestyle of Mentorship

Mentorship is not a checkbox; it’s a way of life. To impact future generations, commit to both mentoring others and remaining teachable yourself. Seek relationships that strengthen your faith and allow God to use you to strengthen others.

The next generation doesn’t just need more information. They need mentors. They need examples. They need relationships that consistently point them to Jesus.

Step into spiritual mentorship today and watch God multiply what you invest.

When Someone You Love Is Questioning God

Posted on by
A person in a hoodie looks out a window on a cold day, reflecting on doubt and hope, symbolizing someone you love who may be questioning God in a hard season.

Is someone you love questioning God? No one ever said loving people through seasons of doubt would be easy. To better help them and yourself, discover how you can stand with them in faith and love. Trust God for the miracle you’ve been praying for in their lives. When faith first takes root in anyone questioning God—whether in our children, spouses, friends or even ourselves—there is hope and expectation for what God will do.

During the “honeymoon phase” of a new believer, they often see God immediately at work in every area of their life. But life has a way of presenting pain, disappointment, unanswered prayers and hard questions. And suddenly, questioning God replaces a faith that once seemed steady.

Many believers face the unexpected and heartbreaking reality of watching someone they love wrestle with God, pull away from church, or question truths they once embraced. Witnessing their confusion can feel overwhelming and put you in a precarious position. It’s often hard to know what to say or where to begin. So, let’s start with the basics.

What does it mean to question God?

Questioning God does not automatically mean rejecting Him. It could be the result of worldly or cultural deception trying to pull the believer away. It could also be the expression of a wounded heart trying to make sense of suffering, disappointment or unmet expectations. A questioning spirit may wrestle with truth, struggle with authority, or feel unsure about God’s character. At its core, it is often searching for answers, not rebellion.

Even so, seasons of doubt matter. Left unattended, they can deepen into distance from God. That’s why it’s important to respond not with fear or condemnation, but with wisdom, love and spiritual clarity.

Perhaps the person you love feels far from God right now—so far that you can’t even imagine what restoration might look like. Know this: there is hope. You are not powerless. God is still at work. He loves them even more than you do. If your heart aches as you see them struggle, how much more does God care for them and want to help them?

Here are seven ways you can stand in faith when someone you love is questioning God.

1. Put Feelings Aside and Follow the Spirit

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14, KJV).

When someone you love is questioning God, emotions often run high. You may feel fear about where their path will lead, sadness over what seems lost, or frustration that they no longer see things the way you do. These feelings are understandable, but they cannot be the driving force behind your responses.

The enemy thrives in emotional extremes. If he can keep you reacting out of fear, anger or panic, he can distort your words and actions. That’s why it’s essential to pause and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. Responding in the flesh often builds walls; responding in the Spirit builds bridges.

Being Spirit-led may mean choosing gentleness over correction, silence over argument, or patience over urgency. When someone you love is questioning God, ask Him to show you what your loved one truly needs in each moment; not what will make you feel better, but what will draw them closer to truth and healing.

2. Give Them Room to Process

“There is hope for your future… your children will come again” (Jeremiah 31:16–17).

People who are questioning God are often processing deep pain, disillusionment or promises that seem unanswered. They may feel pressure from others or even themselves to “figure it out” quickly. But faith is not rebuilt through force; it grows through grace.

Giving someone room does not mean abandoning truth or disengaging emotionally. It means allowing space for honest questions without rushing to fix them. The more someone feels heard and respected, the more open they often become to God’s voice again.

This may require resisting the urge to correct every statement or counter every doubt with a verse. Trust that the Holy Spirit can convict, guide and reveal truth in His timing. Your role is to remain present, loving and prayerful, keeping the relationship intact while God does the deeper work.

3. Learn to Intercede, Not Worry

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV).

Worry feels productive, but it is deceptive and accomplishes nothing. Intercession, however, moves heaven. When someone you love is questioning God, your prayers matter more than you realize.

Intercession is not begging God to intervene; it’s standing in agreement with His will. Pray that God would reveal Himself personally and unmistakably. Pray that wounds would be healed, lies exposed, and truth made clear. Pray that their heart would remain soft, even in the midst of doubt.

There may be days when words fail you. In those moments, pray in the Spirit. Trust that God understands what you cannot articulate. Even when you see no outward change, know that prayer puts God’s power to work, loosening chains, opening eyes, and preparing hearts for restoration.

4. Take Spiritual Authority With Love

“I give you the authority…over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19, WEB).

While questioning God can be part of a sincere faith journey, confusion, deception and discouragement often try to attach themselves to seasons of doubt. As a believer, you have the authority to stand against these influences.

Use that authority wisely and lovingly. Speak life over your loved one when they’re not listening. Declare peace, clarity and divine encounters. Bind fear, confusion and spiritual blindness in prayer—not with anger, but with confidence in Christ’s victory.

Replace anxious thoughts with praise. Spend time declaring God’s promises over your loved one instead of rehearsing worst-case scenarios. Your faith-filled words create a spiritual atmosphere where truth and love can flourish.

5. Be the Example of Faith You Want Them to See

“Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18, ESV).

Often, people are not rejecting God so much as reacting to how faith has been modeled. This is an opportunity for reflection. Ask the Lord to examine your own heart and reveal any inconsistencies, pride or unhealed areas.

Authentic faith is humble. It admits when it doesn’t have all the answers. It remains kind under pressure and hopeful in the face of uncertainty. When you live out a genuine, grace-filled relationship with God, you show that faith is not fragile; it’s resilient.

Let your loved one see a faith that trusts God even when circumstances are unclear. That kind of witness speaks louder than debate ever could.

6. Release Them to God

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31, TLB)

Releasing someone you love to God is one of the hardest acts of faith. It means letting go of control and choosing trust instead. You are called to love, guide, and pray, but not to carry the weight of another person’s spiritual journey.

Release looks like refusing to obsess, refusing to manipulate conversations, and refusing to panic. It means placing them in God’s hands daily and reminding yourself that He loves them even more than you do.

As you release them, your own strength will be renewed. Peace will replace anxiety. Hope will rise again.

7. Never Give Up

“Having done all…stand” (Ephesians 6:13, NKJV)

Maybe it’s been months or years. Maybe conversations are strained or nonexistent. Do not lose heart!

God knows how to deliver. He knows how to restore faith, heal wounds, and reveal truth. Stand on His Word. Declare what you believe, not just what you see. Sooner or later, the Word will take hold.

As you put these principles into practice, rest in the peace of God. Love always hopes. Believe that the one you love is being drawn back to truth, back to hope, back to God. Questions do not scare Him, and neither should they scare you.

God is faithful. Your prayers are heard. And redemption is closer than it appears.

KCBC Couple Discovers an Amazing Call of God for International Evangelism

Posted on by
A person being baptized

Ruben and Olga Maqueira knew the call of God on their lives, but didn’t begin their journey equipped with a detailed ministry roadmap for international evangelism.

They had a growing hunger for Jesus and a willingness to obey Him, even when His direction seemed greater than their plans. Looking back, they see how the Lord patiently and powerfully confirmed the call of God on their lives—step by step—until their purpose became impossible to ignore.

For Ruben, it started with a direct question from the Lord: When are you going to Bible college?

He tried to answer practically and explained the minimal options for Bible training in Miami. But the Lord met his reasoning with a clear answer.

You know they’re opening a school in Fort Worth? Ruben knew what that meant, and he also knew he wasn’t going to “sell” the idea to his wife. He told the Lord, in effect, “If You want me to go, You’ll have to tell her.”

Not long after, Olga came to him with tears and a holy seriousness. “God told me something a couple of weeks ago,” she said. “He told me to ask you, ‘When are you going to Bible college?’”

Ruben began to weep because the Lord asked him the same thing two weeks earlier. In that moment, the call of God required united confirmation. The couple stepped forward together. Soon after, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas, to attend Kenneth Copeland Bible College (KCBC).

 They would soon learn what that step meant toward a life of international evangelism.

Establishing a Foundation of Faith

Their time at KCBC became more than education; it became a foundation. Ruben says they learned to stand on faith and stand on God’s Word. They worked with honor and integrity in everything they did, including evangelism to the lost. Those qualities aren’t just helpful in ministry, they are essential—when obedience gets costly, travel gets intense, and the Lord asks you to keep going.

Olga adds that she learned about the authority believers have in Jesus Christ, and how that authority matters when preaching and helping others come into the kingdom of God. The call of God wasn’t just a future assignment; it started shaping their confidence, character, and obedience.

Watch the Maqueiras share their story.

One morning on her way to evangelism training in school, Olga experienced what she describes as a life-transforming moment. While driving to campus, she could “see” a field filled with people. Something in her spirit ignited as she thought about Kenneth Copeland Ministries  as the “Revival Capital of the World!”

She pictured crowds coming to Christ and being healed, and she knew the Lord was planting a vision in her heart: This is what I’ve called you to do. That day, she says, the fire of God touched her—and the call of God became personal in a new way. She had never seen herself as an evangelist before, but God was making it clear.

Beginning Their Journey on Faith

Soon after, a KCBC instructor sent a clip of evangelist Daniel Kolenda of Christ for All Nations (CFaN) sharing gratitude to KCM Partners and showing the fruit of crusade ministry. Olga watched the multitudes being touched by the Holy Spirit, and it resonated with what God had already shown her.

When Ruben watched the same video, he jumped up and shouted, overwhelmed by the possibilities. Their hearts locked onto a simple, burning vision: Go where the Lord leads, preach Jesus, and believe for multitudes.

After graduating from KCBC, the Maqueiras felt the Lord direct them to attend CFaN’s Boot Camp. That training opened unexpected doors, including serving as crusade directors during CFaN’s African crusades. From there, they stepped into a life of international evangelism—traveling, preaching, praying for the sick, and witnessing miracles and salvations.

Today, Ruben and Olga are doing prison ministry, regularly visiting a federal correctional facility, and remain deeply grateful for what they received at KCBC: faith, integrity, spiritual authority, and a firm foundation for life ministering to others. Most of all, they’re thankful that the Lord clarified their calling, and empowered them to introduce people everywhere to His kingdom through evangelism.

KCM Commitment Helps Transform 15 Powerful Years for Uganda Missions

Posted on by
Children gather around missionaries seated at outdoor tables during a Uganda missions class, reflecting their commitment to teaching and discipleship.

From remote Alaska to the mountains of Uganda, Apostles Denver and Stacey Urlaub are living proof that when God calls, He equips—and when believers stand together, communities change. Their story through Loving the Majesty Ministries is marked by steady commitment to the Word, to people, and to staying where God sent them on the mission field. Their commitment isn’t seasonal; it’s a faith-filled response to a lifelong call.

Denver and Stacey became KCM Partners in 2012, the same year they attended their first Southwest Believers’ Convention (SWBC). In fall 2014, their first support from KCM arrived and has continued over the years, often covering 10% to 25% of their annual African budget. To the Urlaubs, that support is more than a number—it’s a tangible expression of commitment that arrives with faith, and at just the right time.

The Urlaubs are honored to share how their partnership with Kenneth Copeland Ministries supports missions in Uganda, and they’re thankful for every prayer and every seed sown.

Called to the Nations—Sent to Uganda

#image_title

Their journey in East Africa began in a way only the Lord could orchestrate. In March 2012, while studying “caring for orphans and widows” in James 1:27, they received a letter from a 10-year-old orphan boy asking them to visit him. Soon after, a divine connection with another attendee at the Southwest Believers’ Convention opened the door to preach in Uganda—an invitation that became a turning point.

By 2013, the Urlaubs were travelling from village to village, often living in tents among the people. They returned repeatedly, not as visitors passing through, but with a deepening commitment to love, teach, and disciple while trusting God to confirm His Word with lasting fruit for Uganda missions.

 “We came to bring the Word in depth—and watch it change lives.”

Denver Urlaub

For more than a decade, Apostles Denver and Stacey poured themselves into organizing and leading pastor conferences and children’s crusades across remote communities.

They hosted week-long teaching conferences patterned after SWBC, preaching faith, forgiveness, and love all day. They addressed cultural patterns that were hurting families and used Scripture to show a better way, helping local pastors lead with truth and compassion. That kind of ministry takes commitment, especially when the work is slow and relational.

They held multi-day children’s crusades filled with worship, Bible teaching, discipleship, and meals. On the final day, parents and leaders came to watch children present what they learned in English and the local language. One Christmas Eve, Denver shared,  26 parents—all Muslims—responded to an altar call and received Jesus.

A God-Sized Transition To Build for Generations

After years of constant travel, the Lord transitioned the Urlaubs into long-term training and discipleship work. Today, their ministry focuses on three connected assignments that strengthen the work on the mission field and multiply the reach of Uganda missions by training up local leaders, educating children, and pastoring the local community.

They are building Yahweh Yeshua Faith Bible College and Worship Center to train pastors who have never had access to Bible education. Many village pastors can’t afford traditional tuition; some don’t even own a Bible. Denver designed a six-semester degree with three-week intensives, priced affordably for all. Scholarships are made possible by generous individuals who partner with the Urlaub’s ministry. Denver teaches foundational doctrine, biblical interpretation, and faith; Stacey teaches prayer, the Holy Spirit, and healing.

“We are building a campus for future generations to know the Word,” Denver said. They own 1.8 acres in Uganda, and Denver has already completed a central structure with living units, an office, and the covered patio used for classes while they expand.

“I have poured a lot of concrete and laid several thousand cement blocks!” Denver said. He and two of their men are currently building a new latrine with indoor plumbing.

The Urlaubs also operate a licensed Christian school, Apostles Denver and Stacey Urlaub Christian Academy, serving preschool through sixth grade. Children receive meals and consistent discipleship in a region where many adults can’t read or write. In just a few years, children who once couldn’t write their names are learning English and scoring strongly on national exams.

Alongside the school and Bible college, the Urlaubs are discipling leaders and laying the foundation for the local church where they pastor. Despite their church building not being complete, weekly training is already underway, and they’re believing that the building will be completed as more support comes in from partners of their ministry. This is a long-haul commitment to people and places.

Compassion Is Part of the Call on the Mission Field

Recently, local children began entering their property and  stealing firewood—a valuable commodity in that region—needed to cook meals for students. Denver admits he was upset, until they walked to the children’s homes and saw the poverty firsthand: empty huts, little food, and overwhelming need. Denver said, “My frustration disappeared as compassion overtook me.”

That moment became a fresh reminder that the mission field includes both spiritual hunger and practical hardship. The Urlaubs are there to preach the Word, disciple leaders, feed children, and demonstrate the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Their commitment is not merely to build structures, but to lift lives through the gospel.

Apostles Denver and Stacey are quick to say they could not continue without faithful friends and partners who stand with them to support the Uganda missions. KCM has been a steady source of encouragement through the years. But beyond finances, the Urlaubs say something just as meaningful: KCM Partners are family, and that commitment strengthens them in their mission.

They live in Africa for months at a time, but when they return to Alaska, their staff continues the work in Uganda year-round. Denver and Stacey Urlaub are full-time Word of Faith missionaries with a long-term assignment, and they’re grateful for everyone who prays, gives, and believes with them in Uganda’s missions.

If this testimony stirs your heart, you can be part of what God is doing on the mission field.

  • Pray for Denver and Stacey, their team, and the pastors and children they serve.
  • Give as the Lord leads to help train pastors, educate children, and build lasting facilities.
  • Become a KCM Partner to help take the Word—and hope—to the nations.

When you partner, you’re not just supporting a project—you’re strengthening a shared commitment to establish believers, equip leaders, and raise up a generation that knows Jesus and knows His Word. Your commitment helps carry the load and expand the reach.

How To Create a Legacy of Faith With Family Traditions

Posted on by
Adult and child touching an open Bible together, symbolizing family traditions that nurture spiritual growth and build a strong legacy of faith.

Have you ever noticed how people with strong family traditions walk out their faith together and seem to stand stronger through every season? When faith is lived openly and consistently in the home, it becomes more than belief; it becomes a shared way of life.

This is how an enduring legacy of faith is formed.

Even if faith was not modeled in your own upbringing, you have the opportunity to change that story. You can establish intentional family traditions that center God in everyday life. Over time, these traditions can become a priceless treasure—one that shapes hearts, guides decisions, and carries spiritual value from one generation to the next.

Building faith at home doesn’t require perfection or complexity. In fact, some of the most powerful moments of spiritual development come through simple, joyful routines that your family will come to love. Here are four meaningful ways to establish family traditions that help build a strong, enduring legacy of faith.

1. The Spiritual Value of Repetition In Developing Your Faith

Faith grows through hearing, speaking and continually engaging with the Word of God. Repetition may feel mundane, but its spiritual value is extraordinary. What begins as a simple routine becomes a family tradition woven into hearts and minds.

Children, in particular, thrive on repetition. Familiar words and rhythms provide security and confidence, much like learning the ABCs or practicing the times tables, where repetition turns uncertainty into understanding. In the same way, regularly hearing and engaging with Scripture helps God’s Word take root. Over time, these repeated moments become spiritual anchors your children will treasure long after childhood.

Here are a few traditions you can begin today:

  • Establish a family scripture that reflects your shared values and vision. Saying it aloud together daily or weekly reinforces unity and purpose. Personalizing Scripture helps children see that God’s Word has real-life application and lasting value.
  • Speak a consistent blessing over your family. Using the same prayer or scripture each morning or evening embeds those statements into the hearts of those hearing them.
  • Create a closing tradition for the day, such as a spoken declaration or prayer before bedtime. Ending the day with faith reinforces peace and strengthens spiritual development.

Though these traditions may seem simple, they become sacred over time—spiritual treasures that shape your family’s identity, faith and future.

2. Make Bible Learning a Fun Family Tradition

Learning God’s Word together is one of the most impactful family traditions you can establish. While personal study is essential, shared experiences bring Scripture to life and reinforce its importance in everyday living. When families laugh, talk, move, and create together around God’s Word, faith becomes something lived, not just learned.

To keep Bible learning engaging, it helps to balance consistency with a touch of novelty, introducing new activities or creative approaches while keeping faith at the center.

Here are some ideas to consider:

  • Act It Out: Turn Bible stories into short skits or charades and let each family member play a role.
  • Verse of the Week Challenge: Choose a verse to memorize together using hand motions, songs or friendly competitions.
  • Bible Trivia Night: Create age-appropriate trivia questions and enjoy snacks while learning together.
  • Art and Scripture Time: Draw, paint or craft scenes from a Bible story or illustrate a favorite verse.
  • Build the Story: Use LEGO bricks, blocks or household items to recreate Bible stories.
  • Family Devotion Walks: Take a walk outdoors and talk about God’s creation while reflecting on a Scripture passage.
  • Themed Bible Dinners: Prepare a meal inspired by biblical times or cultures and discuss related stories during dinner.
  • Prayer Jar: Write prayer requests on slips of paper and choose a few to pray over together each week.
  • Music and Worship Time: Sing worship songs, create your own praise music, or listen to songs connected to the week’s scripture.
  • Real-Life Connections: Talk about where you saw the Bible lesson lived out during the week—at school, work or home.

When Bible learning is treated as something to treasure rather than a task to complete, it becomes a tradition your family will look forward to and helps to build a legacy of faith.

3. Create a Tradition of Talking About God’s Goodness

One of the most straightforward yet powerful family traditions you can establish is intentionally talking about God’s goodness throughout the day. God instructed His people to talk about Him while sitting at home, walking along the road, lying down, and getting up—in short, anywhere and everywhere. Faith in God grows when you purpose to see His goodness around you.

Make it a family goal never to let a day pass without acknowledging God’s goodness.

Practical ways to do this include:

  • Discussing Scripture that talks about God’s goodness together
  • Asking open-ended questions that invite reflection and conversation about God’s goodness
  • Sharing answered prayers or testimonies during meals
  • Pointing out God’s provision in everyday situations
  • Thanking God out loud for small blessings
  • Talking about how God helped during a difficult moment.

At dinner, invite each family member to share one prayer request and one way they’ve seen God work recently. This simple habit teaches children to recognize God’s presence and builds expectation for His faithfulness.

These conversations help children see God at work in the everyday things, and that faith isn’t reserved just for church. Over time, this family tradition can become a cornerstone of your legacy of faith.

4. Strengthen Your Faith by Praying Together

Prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines you can model for your family. When children see parents pray with confidence and sincerity, they learn that prayer is both natural and effective.

While praying aloud may feel uncomfortable at first, consistent practice builds confidence and removes fear. Family prayer times don’t need to be long or complicated; just get started.

Ideas for family prayer time include:

  • Praying for your community, schools, leaders or nation
  • Interceding for friends, neighbors or family members facing challenges
  • Encouraging each person to share a prayer request
  • Speaking blessings over one another.

As the Holy Spirit leads, you can lay hands on one another and speak words of encouragement, prophecy and blessing. These moments often become cherished spiritual treasures that children carry with them for life. Praying together reinforces unity and teaches children that God is involved in every area of life.

One Moment at a Time

Creating a legacy of faith doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built through consistent, intentional choices. Even one meaningful family tradition can turn faith into a joyful, everyday part of your home.

Get started today! Start using these building blocks, and as you do, remain open to new ways God leads your family to grow together spiritually. Your home will become a place where faith is lived, celebrated and passed on—shining brightly for generations to come.

How To Restore Life to Broken Things

Posted on by
Abstract golden and white streaks of light symbolize God’s power to restore life and bring hope to broken things, reflecting healing, renewal, and spiritual victory.

Brokenness is not a sign that something is wrong with you, which is why we need to restore life to many areas of our lives. It is evidence of the world we live in. We see it everywhere—in relationships that didn’t last, dreams that fell apart, or in seasons that ended differently than we hoped.

There is even a need to restore life to broken things in that quiet sense that something is missing, even when life looks “fine” on the outside.

If you feel broken, you are not alone. In one way or another, we all experience brokenness. Scripture explains why: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, KJV). Sin separated mankind from the life of God, and that separation touched every part of human experience.

Without Him, we are spiritually dead—cut off from the source of love, peace, purpose and truth. But God does not leave us there. He will restore life to broken things, and His primary way of doing that is through Jesus.

God sent Jesus, His only begotten Son, to bring us back into right-standing with Himself. Through the shed blood of Jesus, we are offered redemption, righteousness and reconciliation. When we receive Jesus as Lord, we pass from death to life (John 5:24). That’s not just a spiritual concept; it’s a living reality.

If you have received Jesus, you have been made whole.

And yet something may still feel unfinished. This does not mean your salvation is incomplete. It may simply mean there are areas of your soul that need healing—places shaped by loss, disappointment or weariness.

Even when life has moved forward, there may be moments when your heart quietly says, This wasn’t how it was supposed to end. Loss doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it shows up as chronic fatigue. Sometimes, as guarded hope. And other times, there is a lingering sense that your best days are behind you.

It might have been:

  • A business collapse that drained both savings and confidence
  • A season of illness that consumed years of momentum
  • A relationship that fractured and never fully recovered
  • A missed opportunity that still stings when you think about it.

God never intended for loss to have the final word in your story. He wants to restore life to you.

Scripture consistently reveals Him as a God of restoration—not merely returning things to their former condition, but restoring them with increase, strength and purpose. What the enemy meant to diminish you, God intends to use to elevate you and restore life.

Restoration, however, is not passive. It’s received through faith, obedience and alignment with God’s ways. Below are five specific steps rooted in Scripture that help position your heart and life for restoration.

1. Get Clear About What Needs Restoring

“Write the vision…make it plain.” (Habakkuk 2:2, KJV)

Restoration starts with clarity. What broken things do you need restored?

Many believers live with unspoken loss. They may even believe the lie that speaking or addressing broken things is not operating in faith. They’ve learned to function around disappointment rather than confront it in faith. Over time, unacknowledged loss becomes low expectation, and low expectation limits faith.

For example:

  • You may say you’ve “moved on” from a failed marriage but still struggle to trust or hope for a healthy connection.
  • You might be employed again after a financial setback, yet live in constant fear of losing everything.
  • You may be physically healed, but emotionally exhausted from the years it took to recover.

God cannot restore what you refuse to identify. Take time with Him and ask: “Lord, what areas of my life are still incomplete?” What areas does God need to restore life to you?

Write them down, not as complaints, but as faith declarations. Naming the loss isn’t revisiting pain; it’s preparing for victory. Acts 3:21 reminds us that God restores everything, which means nothing is too small or too old to bring before Him.

2. Ask God Out Loud and On Purpose

“No one says, ‘Restore!’” (Isaiah 42:22, NKJV)

Faith is not silent.

Your words have power. As you verbalize your request for restoration, your words begin to align your heart, your faith and your authority as a believer.

For instance:

  • A couple believing for marriage restoration might say daily, “God, restore unity, trust and love in our home.”
  • Someone recovering from illness may declare, “Lord, restore my strength, stamina and joy.”
  • A professional who lost credibility may pray, “Restore my reputation and open doors I couldn’t open myself.”

God promised to restore the years the locust consumed, not just possessions, but time, opportunity and fruitfulness (Joel 2:25). God can restore life to you!

Asking requires belief. And belief doesn’t mean ignoring reality; it means trusting God despite reality. If faith feels fragile, be honest with God about it. Ask Him to strengthen you. He delights in helping His children believe Him more fully. You can say, like the father in Mark 9:24, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

3. Invite Correction and Not Condemnation

“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge.” (Proverbs 12:1, NIV)

Restoration often requires adjustment.

God doesn’t restore life to us so we can repeat the same patterns that led to loss. He restores life to us so we can handle increases wisely.

For example:

  • Someone who believes in financial restoration may need to address spending habits or develop financial discipline.
  • A leader seeking restored influence may need to grow in humility or communication.
  • A person praying for relational healing may need to confront unforgiveness or pride.

This is not punishment; it’s preparation. A victim mindset says, “This happened to me, and there’s nothing I can do.” A victor mindset says, “God is working in me so I can move forward differently.”

Ask trusted people for honest feedback. Ask God to search your heart. When He reveals something, respond quickly. Correction positions you to sustain restoration rather than lose it again.

4. Plant a Seed for Restoration

If the thief is found, he must restore sevenfold. (Proverbs 6:31)

Restoration is spiritual, but it’s also practical.

Scripture consistently connects harvest to seed. When God prompts you to sow—whether through generosity, service, or obedience—it’s an act of faith that says, “I trust You with what I have because I believe You’re restoring what I lost.”

Examples might include:

  • Giving financially in faith when finances were once stolen
  • Serving others while believing God to restore your own joy
  • Investing time in growth while trusting God to restore lost years

Ask God what kind of seed to sow to restore life. Let it be intentional and joyful, not pressured. When you sow a seed, you attach your expectation to it. What are you expecting God to restore in your life?

5. Make Gratitude a Daily Discipline

“Give thanks in all circumstances.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)

Gratitude keeps your heart aligned while restoration unfolds.

It’s easy to become discouraged when results don’t appear immediately. Thanksgiving anchors your faith during the waiting for broken things to be restored.

For example:

Paul and Silas praised God while still imprisoned, and their praise didn’t just free them; it changed the entire atmosphere (Acts 16:25-26).

Gratitude shifts focus from what’s missing to what God is doing. It reminds your soul that restoration is not hypothetical. It’s already in motion.

Step Forward Because Restoration Is Not Behind You

God doesn’t specialize in patchwork solutions. He will restore life fully, wisely and intentionally. First He brings you to Himself through salvation in Jesus, then He restores the broken things in your life as you abide in Him.

Remember, what feels delayed has not been denied. What feels stolen has not been forgotten. What feels broken is not beyond repair.

Your role is to believe, align and respond. Lift your voice. Take the steps. Stay thankful. And declare with confidence: “Restore!”

KCM Partner Causing the Powerful Canada Fires of Revival To Spread

Posted on by

Canada fires of revival are spreading across the nation—not the kind that destroy, but the type that awaken hearts to Jesus and draw families back to God. For evangelist, author and KCM Partner Tyrelle Smith, co-founder of Gospel Fire for All Nations, that fire to reach others began the moment she was saved. She describes it as “a holy burning on the inside.” It was a steady urgency that made her want everyone to know Jesus the way she knew Him.

That passion didn’t stay comfortable or local. She carried those Canada fires of revival across borders and oceans into seasons of ministry that stretched her faith.

For a time, Tyrelle served in Africa and watched God move with breathtaking power. She saw as many as 150,000 people gathered on open fields to hear the gospel, and tens of thousands came to Christ. The numbers were staggering, but what stayed with her most was the unmistakable grace of God.

After months of pouring out, Tyrelle hit a wall of exhaustion. One day, alone in her room and physically worn down, she prayed a simple, honest prayer: “God, if You speak to me right now, I’m going to be strong, I’m going to go out, and You’re going to do things.”

When she closed her eyes, a vivid vision came. She saw combines lined up on a field.

“In an instant, they surged forward—woosh!—clearing the field. Then again—woosh!—another section cleared. ‘God, what is that?’ I asked. And the Lord answered, It’s the great Canadian Harvest.”

It wasn’t what she expected or wanted to hear. She had trained to stay in Africa, pouring her heart into that mission field. She didn’t want to shift gears. But the Lord replied with words that redirected her future: No, I trained you in Africa for Canada. Then came a declaration that anchored her calling: I’m going to save this nation.

That’s when Canada fires of revival truly began burn inside her.

A Partnership for Expansion

When Tyrelle returned home, the assignment became clearer. God placed stadium events in Canada on her heart—gatherings large enough to make room for thousands to encounter Jesus, yet intimate enough for each person to respond to Him. She stepped forward in faith, even though she knew passion alone wouldn’t be enough. Extensive outreach takes structure, strategy, and support.

That’s when a surprising door opened through a relationship. Tyrelle was introduced to Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM), and the connection changed what felt possible. With that connection, Tyrelle’s vision expanded along with her ability to believe in what God could do.

A partnership was formed with KCM, but she’ll tell you partnership isn’t just a label—it’s shared faith in action. Tyrelle saw that partnership with KCM provided stability and a sense that she wasn’t building alone, as she watched God knit people together for a greater purpose.

“KCM didn’t just sow financially into the mission. They also sowed people,” said Tyrelle. She explains that KCM helped train her team in the practical logistics required for large-scale outreach—ushering, receiving offerings, promotion, and carrying a big vision with big faith.

As Tyrelle can attest, details can multiply quickly when leading events with thousands in attendance. In that season, KCM’s steady support reminded her she wasn’t building alone. She was surrounded by brothers and sisters on God’s field, fanning the flames of faith in Canada with their prayers, experience, and willingness to serve.

KCM also emphasized something Tyrelle believes is essential: follow-up. “When people are born again, they need immediate connection to the Word of God so their faith can take root,” Tyrelle said.

“KCM helped supply resources like the From Faith to Faith devotional and Believers’ Voice of Victory magazine, giving new believers tools to grow right away.”

That kind of care doesn’t just celebrate a moment; it nurtures a life change, helping the Canada fires of revival burn steady and bright.

Watch Tyrelle share her story:

Vision and Faith In Action

The first major stadium event Tyrelle hosted to fan those flames was “Come Together Saskatchewan” at SaskTel Centre Stadium in 2023. More than 12,000 people gathered to worship, be consumed by the Canada fires of revival, and bring others to meet Jesus.

Entire families came to Christ. And when the altar call was given, the response was undeniable. “People were so compelled that they jumped hockey boards to get down to the altar and give their lives to Jesus,” said Tyrelle.

There was a corporate stirring of hearts, a bold response to the gospel, and a hunger for God spreading through communities. For Tyrelle, what happened in Saskatchewan wasn’t a one-time wave—it was a glimpse of what God desires to do across the nation. Through her ministry, she continues to accept and follow that call, believing these Canada fires of revival will reach every province, every city, and every generation.

Tyrelle often expresses gratitude not only for the souls reached, but also for the brotherhood formed through partnership with KCM. She points to Jesus’ promise in John 14, where believers would not be left alone but would receive a Comforter.

In her eyes, that comfort is sometimes expressed through people standing shoulder to shoulder, working together, praying together, and believing together. That is what a KCM Partner lives for, and it’s how revival can spread farther than any one person could carry.

With unwavering faith, Tyrelle believes what God has done in Saskatchewan is only the beginning. If God can move powerfully in one place, He can do it across an entire nation. As believers join hands in partnership and collaboration, she sees the vision continuing, fields cleared by the power of the Holy Spirit, and Canada reached from coast to coast with God’s love.

4 Faith Practices To Help You Move Forward in 2026

Posted on by
A wooden road in the forest, representing learning to move forward with new faith practices in 2026

Many Christians embrace faith practices. They genuinely love God, serve faithfully, and expect His promises to be fulfilled in their lives. Yet, year after year, their circumstances barely change. The prayers are sincere. Their faith is real. However, the story feels stuck.

Maybe that sounds familiar.

Perhaps your story related to your own faith practices has chapters titled “Still Struggling Financially,” “Same Relationship Conflicts,” or “Waiting on Breakthrough.” The good news is that your story is not finished, and it’s not fixed. God has written a plan of victory, and you play an active role in how that story unfolds.

The Bible makes it clear that while God provides the promise, we choose our posture of the heart. When your heart changes, your story can change too.

Here are four practical faith practices to help you adjust your heart, rewrite the patterns of your life and move forward in 2026.

Respond Quickly When God Speaks

“Give attention to my words.” (Proverbs 4:20, NKJV)

Being quick to respond means acting on God’s Word without hesitation or overanalysis.

In Mark 9, a father brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus and immediately responded with faith, even admitting his struggle honestly: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” That quick response opened the door for his miracle. This is a clear example of faith practices all believers should exercise.

Contrast that with the Pharisees in Mark 3. When Jesus asked whether it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath, they stayed silent. Their lack of response wasn’t neutrality; it was resistance rooted in hardened hearts.

Practical Examples

  • You feel prompted to apologize to someone, but you delay because you want to be “right.”
  • You hear a message about generosity, but you wait until your finances feel safer.
  • You sense God telling you to let go of a habit, but you say, “I’ll deal with it later.”

Delayed obedience often looks reasonable, but it slowly hardens the heart.

Action Step:
When God speaks through Scripture, prayer or wise counsel, add to your faith practices by saying yes quickly. Don’t wait until you feel ready. This faith practice responds first and understands later.

Believe Again, Even If You’ve Been Disappointed

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24, NKJV)

God’s Word is good seed. If results haven’t shown up, the issue isn’t the promise; it’s often the condition of the heart receiving it.

Over time, disappointment can quietly turn into emotional protection. We stop expecting because expecting hurts. Without realizing it, the heart becomes calloused.

Common Signs of a Hardened Heart

  • Chronic worry or anxiety
  • Cynicism toward others
  • Emotional numbness
  • Self-reliance instead of trust
  • Hesitation to believe God fully

Practical Examples

  • You’ve prayed for healing before, and nothing changed, so now you pray without expectation.
  • You’ve trusted people and been hurt, so now you keep emotional distance.
  • You once believed boldly, but now you “believe quietly” to avoid disappointment.

Action Step
Ask God to show you where disappointment has shut down your faith. Some of the most effective faith practices are feeding the heart with the Word. This should not be a casual practice, but an intentional one. Tender hearts are cultivated, not accidental. And a tender heart before God and others will help you move forward in 2026.

Repent Quickly and Grow Faster

“People who conceal their sins will not prosper…” (Proverbs 28:13)

Repentance isn’t weakness. This is a strength anchored in identity.

When we are secure in Christ, we can admit when we’re wrong without shame or defensiveness. People who resist correction often remain stuck and unable to move forward, not because God won’t move, but because they won’t adjust.

David is a powerful example. When confronted with his sin of adultery, he didn’t argue or explain; he repented immediately. That humility preserved his future.

Practical Examples

  • You justify your reactions instead of examining them.
  • You blame circumstances or people instead of asking, “What can I learn?”
  • You resist feedback because it feels like a personal attack.

Action Step
Another one of many faith practices to make permanent is to practice quick repentance, both with God and others. When corrected, pause before defending yourself. Ask, “Is there truth here that can help me grow?” The faster you repent, the faster change comes.

Forgive Before Bitterness Takes Root

“Whenever you stand praying…forgive.” (Mark 11:25, NKJV)

Unforgiveness quietly hardens the heart more than almost anything else and can prevent you from moving forward in your life. You may not feel unforgiving, but bitterness often hides under silence, avoidance or emotional distance.

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what happened; it releases you from carrying it. The rest of Mark 11:25 says, “Forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.”

Your willingness to forgive others opens the door to God’s forgiveness toward you and keeps you moving forward in your life, while unforgiveness keeps you stuck right where you are.

Practical Examples

  • You replay conversations in your head long after they happen.
  • You avoid certain people to protect your peace.
  • You say you’ve forgiven, but resentment resurfaces under stress.

Action Step
Ask God to reveal any unresolved offenses, especially older ones from many years ago. Forgive by faith, even if emotions lag. Make forgiveness one of your faith practices as a habit, not a reaction.

It’s Time To Change Your Story

When you consistently implement these four faith practices—responding quickly, believing again, repenting humbly, and forgiving freely—your life begins to move forward in a new direction.

God has already written a victory-filled plan for you. Your role is to align your heart with His Word and take daily, intentional steps forward.

The next chapter doesn’t have to look like the last one. Pick up the pen. Choose faith and expect a powerful plot twist in 2026.

How To Use the Authority of God in Any Situation

Posted on by
A stormy coastal road beneath dark clouds symbolizes enforcing the authority of God to speak peace and protection when life’s circumstances rise against you.

Do you struggle with understanding how to use the authority of God involving your finances, family or body? Many believers know they have spiritual authority, yet they don’t fully understand why they have it.

That lack of understanding often leads to confusion about the basis of spiritual authority and how God’s authority functions in everyday life.

Spiritual authority is not based on emotion, effort, or position. It flows from a covenant relationship with God established by Him. This relationship is not merely an agreement, but a divinely initiated bond in which God shares His purposes, promises and power with His people.

When we understand that God grants sovereignty so we may represent Him and carry out His purposes on the earth, we recognize that our authority rests not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of the One who established this binding, sacred relationship.

From Genesis to Revelation, God governs the earth through these divine relationships. When you understand how God relates to His people, you know spiritual authority. Now, you can confidently enforce heaven’s will on earth.

There is a story of a farmer who found an eagle’s egg and brought it home to his chicken coop. When the eagle hatched, it lived like a chicken because it didn’t know its true identity. It had the nature of an eagle, but not the understanding to live like one.

Many believers live the same way. They are born again—brought into relationship with God through the blood of Jesus—yet they live far beneath what that sacred bond provides. They want victory in health, finances, protection, and peace, but they don’t know how to operate under the authority of God that comes from that relationship.

Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give you the authority…” (NKJV). This is not an independent power. It is delegated, flowing directly from God’s authority and enforced by those who belong to Him.

The Foundation of the Authority of God

Authority has always been covenant-based.

  • Adam received authority through stewardship (Genesis 1:26–28).
  • Abraham was given promises that included blessing, protection and provision (Genesis 12, 15, 17).
  • Israel walked in either blessing or curse based on obedience (Deuteronomy 28).
  • Jesus restored the authority that Adam forfeited (Luke 22:20).

Hebrews 8:6 says Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, established on better promises. The authority of God enforces those promises, and believers are authorized agents of that divine arrangement.

1. Use the Authority of God for Physical Protection

“No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.” —Psalm 91:10 (NKJV)

Psalm 91 describes the benefits of dwelling in a relationship with God—not merely random protection, but covenant covering.

Protection is not something you randomly hope for or beg for; it is something you enforce because it was secured by covenant. You can experience protection in a relationship with God.

Exodus 12 shows this clearly. When the blood was applied to the doorposts, judgment passed over. The blood marked ownership, and God’s authority enforced protection.

Today, the blood of Jesus is the seal of the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:14). When you plead the blood and speak God’s Word, you are invoking the power and dominion of God.

2. Use the Authority of God To Drive Out Sickness

“I am the LORD who heals you.” —Exodus 15:26

Healing has always been part of God’s nature.

  • God revealed Himself as Jehovah Rapha, “The Lord Who Heals,” under the Old Covenant (Exodus 15:26).
  • Isaiah 53 ties healing directly to atonement.
  • Matthew 8:17 confirms Jesus fulfilled this promise.
  • 1 Peter 2:24 declares healing complete in the New Covenant.

Sickness is not permitted where holy dominion is enforced. When believers tolerate sickness, they are not lacking God’s power; they are failing to exercise God’s authority.

God will not override your jurisdiction. This divine relationship with God places responsibility on the believer to stand on what Christ has already finished.

3. Use the Authority of God To Cast Out Demons

“They will cast out demons in my name.” —Mark 16:17

Demons understand authority. That’s why they fear the Name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus.

Colossians 2:14–15 tells us that Jesus canceled the legal charges against us and stripped demonic powers of their authority. This was a legal transaction.

When demons are cast out, it is not because of human strength; it is because God’s sovereignty prevails over illegal occupation.

Revelation 12:11 ties victory directly to the blood of the Lamb and testimony—both realities established through Christ.

4. Use the Authority of God to Subdue the Weather

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind…” —Mark 4:39 (NKJV)

Adam was given physical and spiritual authority over the earth (Genesis 1:28), but that rule was lost through disobedience. Jesus, the Last Adam, restored God’s authority through obedience (Romans 5:17).

When Jesus spoke to the storm, He was demonstrating restored dominion. When He rebuked the disciples, it wasn’t for fear; it was for failing to exercise the authority of God.

As New Covenant believers, seated with Christ (Ephesians 2:6), we are authorized to enforce peace where destruction threatens.

5. Use the Authority of God for Finances

“Remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant.” —Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV)

Provision is not prosperity theology; it is relationship-based theology.

God provides so that His purposes can advance on earth. Under the New Covenant, Jesus became poor so we might be made rich in purpose and provision (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Financial attacks are often challenges that will reveal the spiritual authority you are walking in. When you assert your faith and speak to lack, command the enemy to release provision, and call in God’s promises, you are enforcing what God has already established.

Authority Enforced Through Relationship

The authority of God is not mystical; it is legal, relational and established through Christ. You are authorized because you belong to Him. The New Covenant did not weaken our dominion on earth; it was perfected through Jesus. You were never designed to live powerless. You were never meant to tolerate defeat. You were created to rule and reign in life through Christ Jesus (Romans 5:17). You are not just a believer.
You are assigned to enforce the authority of God on this earth.
