A navigational system in your car or on your phone is such a convenient tool; it’s hard to imagine life without a GPS! Whether you’re heading out to a meeting in an unfamiliar city, or trying a new restaurant, after you type in the location to where you are going, your GPS leads and guides you all the way to your destination. You simply drive and listen, following the directions.

Much like a GPS system guides us, prophecies from seasoned prophets, like Kenneth Copeland, are tools to guide us into what’s coming next, particularly at the start of a new year. With things becoming more chaotic in these end times, it can be easy to start reacting like the world does, living in fear, dread or anxiousness. But when we listen to God, and to what He says through His prophets, it helps us put our trust in God, live in faith and have peace. Prophetic words give us directions to help us stay on the straight and protected path, guiding us to a miraculous and prosperous new year.

Study these 3 Reasons To Grab Hold of Prophecies for 2023. As you gain more understanding, you can live assured that, as God’s children, we will see His glorious promises fulfilled in this new year (1Peter 2:9)!

Reason #1: Prophecies Are God Speaking to us

“Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).

Throughout history, and throughout the Bible, God has used people to speak His will on this earth. In fact, prophetic words have been like a megaphone from heaven amplifying what God has spoken to His people. Consider these Bible prophecies:

• The coming of Jesus was foretold throughout the Old Testament (Genesis 3:15; Malachi 3:1-6).
• Joseph prophesied the seven-year famine (Gen. 41:30).
• Moses foretold the ten plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7).
• Jonah prophesied the destruction of Nineveh (Jonah 1:2; 3:4).
• Amos prophesied the downfall of several kingdoms including Syria and Israel (Amos 1-2).

Just like in the past, we still have prophets who speak God’s will to us today, telling us what’s going to come to pass in our lives, in the lives of the Body of Christ, and in our nation and the world. Some say that this gift has passed away, but that’s not what it says in the New Testament, where we are all encouraged to prophesy in order to help build and encourage the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 14:3; John 14:15-31; 2 Peter 1:21).

Reason #2: Prophecies Are God’s Guidance for Us

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him” (Hebrews 11:6 New Living Translation).

Just like we receive direction for our lives from the Bible, the Holy Spirit and the preached Word, so we receive direction from prophecies. Like we put our faith in the Word that we read or hear, so we put our faith in prophecies. We believe them, speak in agreement with them, and watch for them to come to pass expectantly.

When our flesh is tempted to doubt or give up, we deny our flesh and press on in faith. We don’t look at what’s happening around us that’s contrary to the prophecy and let that weaken our faith. Instead, we keep ourselves built up in our faith, trusting God. As we are His children, and set apart in His Kingdom, we receive His prophecies and the guidance that comes with them in order to build our faith and to increase in spiritual strength (1Peter 2:9).

For example, years ago, when Kenneth Copeland prophesied that the Berlin Wall would fall, that prophecy gave people a clear vision as to what God’s will was regarding the wall, and it gave them something to stand on in faith and look forward to happening. The Berlin wall was devastating for people. Not only had communism gripped half of Germany, but it also had separated families for more than 28 years. Fathers, mothers and siblings couldn’t see or contact one another, so God answered their prayers by sending in a prophet to speak His will to the Berlin Wall. When Kenneth Copeland released the word of the Lord, the Word went to work on the Berlin Wall, eating away at communism and its dominion over East Germany. People got into agreement with the prophecy, and released their faith by speaking the prophecy, speaking to the wall, and declaring that the word of the Lord prevail. One hundred and fifty days later, the world watched as the Berlin Wall came down.

Prophecies are just as important today as they were when Moses was leading the Egyptians out of Egypt. They provide a very clear direction from the Lord to not only what’s coming, but also what our response should be. Regardless of what is going on in the world, the Body of Christ can grab hold of His Truth and stand in faith. As we do this, even if things start to look awry, we don’t have to become discouraged, because the Lord has spoken to us and given us guidance.

Reason #3: Prophecies Protect Us

“And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!” Then the LORD reached out and touched my mouth and said, ‘Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant’” (Jeremiah 1:8-10, NLT).

We live in a world where stocks go up and down; where prices are skyrocketing; where the news stories regularly tell us of tragedies in our own nations and around the world. The enemy uses these events to tempt us to be anxious, fearful and feel we have no hope—but we do. We will always have hope because we have Jesus. We will always be protected when we put our trust in God and His Word, and not what we see.

Yes, we are living in the end times, and things will most likely grow darker, but in the dark is where the light of God shines brightest—in us and through us.

Remember when people made fun of Noah for building an ark? All because they couldn’t recognize anything beyond what they saw right in front of them. They couldn’t see God’s future; only their present. Yet, Noah understood he needed to obey God and His Truth, and not listen to the world and it’s many opinions and news stories (Genesis 6:13). Putting his trust in God’s prophetic words and guidance is what saved his family.

The next time you read or hear a news story that tempts you to fret, stop. Open the Word and read Psalm 91. Go back to a prophecy that promises protection for the people of God. You can read the 2023 words from the Lord through Kenneth Copeland HERE.

As you’ve read these 3 Reasons You Grab Hold of Prophecies for 2023, we encourage you to take hold of the promises being spoken by the Lord for 2023. Things may look out of hand to many people in the world, but to those of us who put our trust in God, His Word and His prophecies, we will have a straight path to a successful and miraculous 2023!

When God decides to create something, He calls “things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17). So, it’s no surprise that the first time He spoke to Kenneth Copeland about “The Revival Capital of the World®,” no such place existed.

The sprawling piece of land where it would one day be built existed, certainly. But no one would have mistaken it for any kind of capital.

On the contrary. At the time, the site God was calling His “Revival Capital” looked more like a ghost town. Once the site of a bustling military base built to test gliders during World War II, and later used as a refueling station for various Navy and Marine warplanes, Marine Corps Air Station Eagle Mountain had long since been abandoned: The planes that had soared over it, a distant memory. The more than 8,000 people who once called it home, all gone.

By 1970, not much remained but a few ramshackle buildings and a sunbaked stretch of runway. Yet it was that year, while flying home from a meeting, Brother Copeland heard words he’d never forget.

“It was nighttime, and I was alone in the airplane,” he recalls. “All of a sudden, I heard a voice in my spirit, as clearly as if it were coming over my radio. The voice said, Coming to you from The Revival Capital of the World.

“I thought to myself, There is an Entertainment Capital of the World—Hollywood. There is a Political Capital of the World—Washington, D.C. But where is The Revival Capital of the World?”

Puzzling over the question that night, Brother Copeland had no answer. Little did he know that the property he was flying over at the time—a dusty old airbase 23 miles north of Fort Worth on Eagle Mountain Lake that was formerly the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station—was what the Lord was calling The Revival Capital of the World. He didn’t know anything about the property. And he wouldn’t for another three years.

“Many people are attempting to quiet the voice of the ministry of The LORD Jesus Christ. And it is extremely important that there be a voice of victory— loud and clear. Kenneth and Gloria Copeland headquarters groundbreaking”

1979-Kenneth Copeland

When There Seems To Be No Way

With Kenneth Copeland Ministries growing rapidly, by 1973 Brother Copeland knew they’d eventually need a site with plenty of space to accommodate the ministry’s expansion. When a board member of the then Kenneth Copeland Evangelistic Association heard about a choice piece of property for sale on Eagle Mountain Lake, he drove Kenneth and Gloria out to see the property. The moment Brother Copeland stepped onto the property he heard the voice of the Lord, once again calling things that didn’t exist as though they did.

THIS is The Revival Capital of the World, and you are going to build it, the Lord said.

In the natural, that looked like an impossibility. At just six years old, Kenneth Copeland Ministries didn’t have anywhere near enough money to take on such a challenge. The cost of the land alone far exceeded the current ministry budget. Not to mention the cost of renovating the old structures on the property and adding the new ones that would be needed. What’s more, Brother Copeland and his wife, Gloria, had committed to the Lord never to borrow money.

With God, however, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26); and Kenneth and Gloria knew it. They also knew that all things are possible to them that believe (Mark 9:23). So, they took God at His word and looked to Him to make a way. Five years passed while they waited for God to show them the next step. During that time, God provided a beautiful property for KCM about 35 miles away, at Lake Arlington.

“To the natural eye, it seemed ideal,” recalls Brother Copeland. “But God told me, This isn’t
the final place.”

Sure enough, in 1978, the Lord directed Brother Copeland to meet with the owner of the
property at Eagle Mountain, Mr. Paul H. Pewitt. When Mr. Pewitt heard Brother Copeland share
his vision for the land, he caught it immediately. There was just one hitch, Brother Copeland explained. KCM still didn’t have the money to purchase the property outright, and borrowing wasn’t an option.

Mr. Pewitt sat in silence for a while, apparently considering the dilemma. “Come back and see me,” he said. “After three more visits, our dear brother Mr. Pewitt came up with a plan,” Brother Copeland
recalls.

Turning away other potential buyers, he offered to lease the land to KCM, apply the lease
payments to the purchase price, and sell the property to the ministry in four segments so they
could begin to take ownership of it more quickly. To top it all off, Mr. Pewitt gave KCM permission
to sell the gravel that was on the land and use the profits to help make the lease payments. The offer was nothing short of supernatural! Now is the time…get it done! the Lord told Brother Copeland.

So, in 1979, the deal was finalized and construction began. What had been a training ground for military pilots and soldiers started being transformed into a place of spiritual training. A new base of operations was born that would deliver the uncompromised Word of God to people everywhere—from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around the middle.

A Testimony to the Power of God

Today, instead of being a vision that can only be seen through the eyes of faith, The Revival Capital of the World continues to grow into a visible, material reality. Old buildings that survived from World War II days—once so desolate they served as a set for a 1959 science fiction movie—stand renovated, repurposed, and surrounded by new ones. These include: the chapel, which was the first new building on “the Mountain” to be completed and occupied; the KCM headquarters building; the Eagle Mountain International Church building that, in addition to providing a gathering place for the congregation, now houses Kenneth Copeland Bible College®, Superkid Academy and 14forty youth ministry.

Then, “down the hill” are the Partner Service Center; production buildings; a television studio; TV department offices; BVOV and TV news studios; the Child Learning Center; and a property maintenance center that includes industrial and storage areas, and the completely rebuilt aviation hangar.

All those buildings are a testimony to the power and faithfulness of God. But the greater testimony is the life-changing ministry that continues to flow out of them. Because of what’s happening these days at The Revival Capital of the World:

• The Believer’s Voice of Victory television broadcast currently reaches a potential 318 million-plus viewers in the U.S. and millions internationally.

• VICTORY Channel® carries the life-changing truth of God’s Word to people worldwide, 24/7, via Roku®, DISH®, DIRECTV®, Spectrum® Cable TV, YouTube®, and the Go Victory app and other social media platforms.

• People hungry for truth can hear news they can trust, reported in the spirit of faith, through KCM original programming like VICTORY News and FlashPoint.

• Hundreds of thousands every month, in more than 150 countries, receive Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine, absolutely free.

• Well over 1,000 local members of Eagle Mountain International Church are joined each week by 10,000 more online from at least 35 countries for worship, prayer and the bold preaching of the uncompromised Word.

• Calls by the hundreds of thousands (a half million just this year) are answered by KCM prayer ministers who provide callers with encouragement, support and the prayer of agreement for every kind of need.

Word-packed teaching materials are constantly being sent to people eager to learn how to live in victory. (The total number of products distributed since the ministry began reached 80 million this year!)

The Revival Capital at Eagle Mountain also serves as a support base for KCM’s international offices in Canada, Australia, Africa, Europe, Ukraine, and Latin America. Plus, it’s the point of origination for all the KCM conventions, meetings, and evangelistic outreaches held throughout the year.

“We’re determined to follow Brother Copeland’s direction to get more faith programming out. But the more we do, the clearer it becomes that we don’t have enough studio space.”

—Terri Copeland Pearsons

Keeping the Vision On Track

Even with all that’s being accomplished, there’s more to be done and less time left to finish it . As Brother Copeland said 43 years ago when he first announced the vision for The Revival Capital, “The end of this age is staring us in the face. Jesus is coming so soon! There is no time for compromise in any form.

“In this day and hour, many people are attempting to quiet the voice of the ministry of The LORD Jesus Christ. And it is extremely important that there be a voice of victory—loud and clear. Right now, as never before, I have an urgency in my spirit to get the job done without delay. I intend to utilize this property to its fullest. It will be used for the production of God’s uncompromising WORD in every form that the heart can imagine. Plans are on the drawing board now.”

Watching most closely over those plans these days is Terri Copeland Pearsons. As Brother Copeland’s eldest daughter, she is a seasoned veteran when it comes to putting substance to the vision God has given him. In 1979, she helped launch the first Believer’s Voice of Victory television broadcast. For 13
years she developed the broadcast as its first producer, helping establish Brother Copeland
as a forerunner in television ministry. In 1993, she and her husband, George, accepted the
call to pastor Eagle Mountain International Church.

“Everyone pretty well knows that I’m Pastor Terri,” she says, “but not everyone knows that I’m also the chief visionary officer at Kenneth Copeland Ministries.” Why is such a position needed? “Because we’re overflowing with vision here and someone has to get it all together and keep it on track.”

Currently on the drawing board, for example, is the new VICTORY Studios media complex. The complex is key to fulfilling the next phase of The Revival Capital vision. With the recent expansion of VICTORY Channel’s audience potential, the great need now is to increase the ministry’s production potential, Pastor Terri explains. “We’re determined to follow Brother Copeland’s direction to get more faith programming out. But the more we do, the clearer it becomes that we don’t have enough studio space.”

For the past several years, even without that space, the VICTORY Channel team has found ways to keep moving forward. Using faith and creativity, they’ve turned old, (sometimes-leaky!) storage buildings into temporary studios. When there were no more old buildings left to convert, they used closets. Desks were pushed aside so that TV equipment could be wedged into people’s offices.

“Nothing is safe,” Pastor Terri says laughingly. “Anywhere we can fit two chairs and a camera is in danger of being turned into a studio. But going forward we need real studios. We have in our hearts so many more programs to produce—not just preaching programs but other kinds like VICTORY News and FlashPoint. Programs that will touch people where they are and help them engage their faith as they confront the challenges of this world.

“People need to see that the Word of Faith isn’t just something we talk about from behind a pulpit. It’s something that can be integrated into your very life, day in and day out.”

Seeing Plans Come to Life

Already, VICTORY Studios is taking shape on the drawing board. In meetings she calls “scribble scrabbles,” Pastor Terri and her team pore over architectural renderings provided by an engineering group. As they seek the guidance of the Lord, the excitement is tangible, Pastor Terri says. Questions and exclamations abound: “What about this?” “What about including an area for that?” “Oh goodness!” Outside, all that can be seen on the site where VICTORY Studios will be built is the pile of dirt where the ministry recently broke ground on an empty field. But when Pastor Terri stands there, sharing on camera her vision for its future, the sparkle in her eye makes it clear that she doesn’t see just a vacant plot of ground. Looking through the eye of faith, just as her father did when all this began, she sees the plans for The Revival Capital of the World coming to life.

“The vision is explosive around here. The process of bringing it to fruition takes time, prayer and a lot of money. But that’s OK because we know how to sow, how to reap, how to believe God—and so do our Partners.”

—Terri Copeland Pearsons

She sees a 9,000-square-foot master soundstage, 15 edit suites, six studios, a movie studio and more. She sees a media complex that will give glory to God and meet the needs of the people well into the future…and calls things that don’t exist as though they did.

“We have all kinds of great inspiration and ideas that the Lord has given us,” she says. “The vision is explosive around here. The process of bringing it to fruition takes time, prayer and a lot of money. But that’s OK because we know how to sow, how to reap, how to believe God— and so do our Partners.

“Philippians 1:6 says that He who has begun a good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. So, we can also be sure that He who began a good work through us will complete it. With the help of our Partners, VICTORY Studios will become a reality. We will expand our production teams and start producing the great programs we have in mind. For this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith!”

Words From The Lord Through Kenneth Copeland For 2023

January 20, 2022—KCM Ministers’ Conference

“2023 will be as exciting as it can be. It will be the time when you will say it and the devil will flee. All around you will begin to rise up, like great mountains of victory. And you will stand strong and say, ‘God is on my side in 2023 because He is blessing me.'”

September 29, 2022—BVOV TV Broadcast Taping

“What about 2023? What will 2023 be like? Lots of changes. Enormous amounts of changing. A lot of the disturbances that are in the nation now will begin to be ironed out during that year, because of the major decisions that the Supreme Court has made. Once the Supreme Court here makes it, God makes it. He makes it right and turns it around!

“But 2023 will be as good as it can be because you will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free. Glory to God. You will know and understand more about this Book and its authority in our lives.”

“So we rejoice in it. Heavenly Father, we thank You for the blood covenants in this Book. Yes, it will be a year of great healings. It will be a year when whole churches will be healed and brought back to a place that they have lacked for the last five years.

“It will be year of judgment. Good judgment. I will judge things good, and it will be a year of judgment upon bad things. People who do not pay attention to what The WORD is saying, and pay no attention to My WORD and to My people—they will come to a place where it is just an act of judgment because of the seeds they have sown. And many, many, many of them will come to pass in 2023.

“There are those that will say, ‘Glory to God, I have been corrected and now my finances are straightened out.’ And there are others who will say, ‘I do not understand why all this has happened to me, but I guess give God the praise.’ But people will begin to know and understand that VICTORY IS AT HAND when you worship Me, praise Me, and put My WORD as final authority in your life.

“You will know Me because I am the Truth. I am the Life. And I am the Way. My Father is Truth. With the two of us together in your life, Truth will become a way of life for you. It will break the bondages the devil has put in there.

“All of this will come to pass before 2023 is halfway through.”

October 26, 2022

“There will be many that bow the knee to Baal. There will be many that bow the knee to Me,” saith The LORD. “For the outpouring of My generosity and My goodness has begun, and will continue and go on and on.

“For the bottom line is the freedom of My people and the true freedom of this nation. The people that raised this nation up are part of the great cloud of witnesses. They are witnessing it in the spirit—the power of the resurrection of this nation to bring it back to its original roots, and to bring it back to Me on bended knee.

“I have heard from heaven from My people, and I will get it done. It will look better, do better and be stronger than you ever dreamed it could be. THIS is 2023.”

January 2023 Partner Letter

“The word of The LORD came to me several days ago saying…Make sure that My WORD is Final Authority in your life in 2023.”

Have you ever been all ready to decorate your Christmas tree only to find that all the light cords were tangled? It can be such a mess when one string of lights is entwined with another one. You can’t help but wonder how you’ll ever get them straightened out. Sometimes, our lives can feel just as messy, particularly when we experience a situation that seems overwhelming, and we have no idea how we can possibly find any solution. Yet it’s in those exact situations that God wants us to invite Him in to help us sort it all out.

The Lord knows how to untangle any trouble you might be facing, no matter how big or confusing it may be. In a recent message at Eagle Mountain International Church, Pastor George Pearsons ministered 3 Ways God Is With You This Christmas. Read more and allow the Lord to come alongside you this Christmas and untangle the challenges you are facing!

1. God Is With You

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” –Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)

You’ve likely heard that “God is with you” many times before. Whether it was in a church service or from well-meaning friends trying to help when you’ve been going through a difficult time, that phrase can often sound so cliché. However, when we dive into the true meaning of Christmas, and into the birth of our Savior, we find that very statement. In Matthew 1: 23, the Word says, “The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

What good news! God is with us. God is with you and with me. Think about the power of that statement and what it means to your life. No matter what is going on in your life, God is with you. If the devil is trying to attack you in your health, finances or relationships, God is with you!

In Isaiah 41:10, God says again, “I am with you.” If you’re feeling forgotten or alone this Christmas, you are not forgotten or alone. Why? Because God is with you.

And since God is with you, so is His miracle-working power. You can expect the miraculous every day, whether it’s supernatural healing, provision or healing in your relationships. As a believer, you are not subject to the collateral damage, sickness and inflation the world is experiencing right now, because God is with you, and He is giving you all the answers and support you need to overcome in every situation.
As you build yourself up in your most holy faith this season, consider repeating these scriptures daily to strengthen your faith:

• Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV): “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
• Joshua 1:5 (NKJV): “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”
• Isaiah 43:1-2: “But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, ‘Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.’”

2. God Is for You

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” –Romans 8:31

Isn’t wonderful to know when someone is for you? To know they are not against you? Isn’t it wonderful to know when someone is not fighting you, but they are cheering you on?

Well, if you belong to God, that describes Him in your life right now. He is for you! And if He is for you, who can be against you? He’s cheering you on!

Romans 8:32 says He freely gives us all things. Are you facing something and needing some of those “all things”? Is it sickness or disease? God is for you! You are the healed. Your healing is an accomplished fact. Isaiah 53:5 promises us that “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (NKJV).

Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by debt. God is for you! Psalm 118:5-6 says, “I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (NKJV). That word broad refers to a place where you are no longer squeezed and under pressure. Isn’t that exactly what debt does to you? God is for you and will set you in place where you are no longer constrained and under pressure. The Lord is on your side, so you need not fear.

Maybe you’re in the middle of a court case. The Lord is on your side. Romans 8:33 assures us, “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies” (NKJV).

Maybe you’re feeling persecuted. God is for you! Romans 8:34 says, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us” (NKJV).

Are you feeling far from God? He is with you and for you. Romans 8:38-39 promises us: “Neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (NKJV).

God is so for you that He has promised to give you everything you need—and He’s doing it right now! Supernatural provision, healing, debt cancellation, peace, love and so much more!
This Christmas, meditate on the following scriptures so you can become fully persuaded to the fact that God is for you, all the time:

• Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
• Psalm 56:9 (NASB): “Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me.”
• Romans 8:37: “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”

3. God Is In You

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.“ –John 14:16-17

Praise God for the Holy Spirit! The Word says in John 14:16-17 that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live inside of us and advocate for us—and He is ready to give us answers and wisdom anytime we need them (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16)! While our natural minds have limited understanding, our spirits have a direct line to the One who helped create the universe. Anything we need to know is already at our disposal (Genesis 6:3 ).

For instance, some of us can become overwhelmed during this holiday season. We may have experienced losing someone we love this past year. We may have gone through a big transition. We may be challenged with how to stay within our means. Or, we may simply feel overloaded with things to get done before Christmas Day. Whatever it might be, with the Holy Spirit, we can overcome instead of being overwhelmed in every situation. Psalm 61:2 (NKJV) tells us, “When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

If you are feeling overwhelmed, lean into the Holy Spirit. Pray in tongues. Talk to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him for help. If you do, He will give you answers. They will rise up out of your spirit and you will know what to do or say in any given situation.

We have been given all the tools we need to live as overcomers in this life. We have been given the Holy Spirit, and there is a supernatural acceleration on the inside of you when you know the Holy Spirit is abiding in you, guiding you, advising you and giving you the answers you need (Ephesians 3:20).
This Christmas, remember to be “God inside me” minded. Then, keep training your spirit to listen to the power of God that’s inside of you by meditating on these scriptures:

• John 15:5 (NKJV): “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
• 2 Corinthians 6:16 (NKJV): “And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’”
• Colossians 1:27 (NKJV): “To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
• 1 John 4:4 (NKJV): “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
• Galatians 2:20: “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

As you’ve read 3 Ways God Is With You This Christmas, remember that God is with you, God is for you, and God is in you! Not a moment goes by that He is not thinking of you or advocating for you. His miraculous and supernatural power is moving on your behalf right now. What a way to celebrate this Christmas!
