Starting the new year in a powerful way.

With less than two weeks until the new year begins, you can take time to reflect on last year and prepare for 2026. Take time to reflect on how God has loved you and brought you through 2025. This will help you focus on His endless love for you. The more you know how He loves you, the more affection you will have for Him in your heart.

Jesus said just knowing God gives you eternal life. He is so good, we get caught up in his love and goodness and he is able to keep us in his peace and joy that remains. "John 17:3 (NKJV) “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." The more we get to know Him, the more we get to stay in the peace that he Has given us. "John 14:27 (NKJV) “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

So as you end out 2025, spend time in the word of God and in stillness in his presence. The more you get to know him, the more you will experience his peace and joy that remains. The truth is, He is more present in your life than you are. You are in Him and He is in you. This reality will become more evident as you continue to get to know Him better and better.

You can also spend the first 2 to 4 weeks of 2026 staying deep in the word and in worship. This will cause the reality of God's goodness to fill your heart and replaces the temporary reality of the problems and issues you face in life. Spending time with others who are receiving the promises of God through faith and patience will greatly accelerate your path to freedom.

Enjoy your time alone with God and your time with others who believe and watch God take you from glory to glory it deeper levels of peace until you find you have His peace and joy that remains. Watching the testimony and teaching videos on this website will help you grow in your affection for God in your heart. Enjoy the process and connect with others who believe. Have a great holiday season celebrating the life of Jesus and what he's done for all humanity!
