“The chaos of the end times will require the spiritual focus of disciplined men” -Ps. Al Men, during our March Men’s Breakfast we discussed the need to increase good godly habits in order to grow as men of God so that we will better hear Him and take on His image. “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” Proverbs 25:28 ESV Developing a disciplined life requires us to not just stop doing unfruitful things but also filling those voids with doing things that edify and mature you in Christ. 7 Holy Habits (disciplines) to grow into Mature Manhood Increase your daily intake of God’s Word. Starting your day in the Word. Guard your heart, especially against offense. Increase your prayer life, praying intentionally rather than routinely. Keep your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit through obedience to the Word and His promptings. Choose godly wisdom over neutral or emotionally-driven options. Practice fasting as a regular spiritual discipline. Look for opportunities to serve, disciple, and mentor others. Please see the Men’s Breakfast video and teaching notes attached and get ready to step into a new dimension with God! Prayer and confession over 2026 – The Year of the Big Fix! Father, we ask for a mighty and sustained manifestation of Your wonderful glory in this current season; manifesting Your majestic presence, Your awesome power and Your extravagant goodness that brings: An awakening to You in the body of Christ; waking us out of our apathy, complacency, and lethargy and moving into the harvest field. Protection and victory for Israel – the apple of Your eye. Protection and wisdom for President Trump and those called to his side as he leads our nation under Your providential hand. Your glory to be made manifest in our church, Your body – the church, our school campuses, our nation, and the world. Breakthroughs of growth, prosperity, influence and favor for our ministry and partners at KCM, EMIC, KCBC and the Victory Channel. Personal prosperity and breakthroughs (answers, direction and clarity) for every church member and partner of this ministry. And complete preparation in spirit, soul and body for all that is coming. – To God be the all the glory, amen! Unified faith is the incubator for revival! Let us continue to join our faith in prayer for the Key Prayer Points below that will continue throughout the month: That the men of EMIC and the church at large will boldly share the gospel and win the lost to Jesus and invite people to church in 2026 !

First thing He said to me, “You’re going to speak to the church this morning. You’re speaking to the ministries on prayer. I want you to be My mouthpiece. Speak to them slowly, gently, with divine urgency, because they have a dream and they have a vision which must be realized because I’ve given that to them. They are My people. But they are people of destiny, and so be warned that nothing should be said that I have not said to you. Say it with compassion. Assure them that I know of the love that is amongst them. But that should increase tenfold in view of what is going to happen shortly. Speak to Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the International Church. Tell them that I regard them as people of destiny as much as I regarded those four young people, part of the banished nation far away from Jerusalem, waiting for the day when Jerusalem would once again be the home and the center of My people. “You intended to speak on Daniel and certain excerpts from that. It is good because that is within the guidance of My Spirit and within the center of My will. But forget your notes. You’re not sermonizing. Regard it as a prophetic spirit that has come to you through Me. Tell them that the secret of those four young men—Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego–the secret was that they frequently prayed, although they found themselves in a strange culture. They fasted. And as they will do what I am to tell you to do, they will feel My Spirit resting upon them, equipping them, empowering them to go forth and be My people in a world that is not very different from what they found themselves in. There are so many strange cultures in America. So many strange nations across the world. And this is an international body, reaching out to the furthest corners of the world. “Tell them to read the book of Daniel. It is a much-neglected book. Some of My people have taken from it certain parts that they liked. But I would have them as a body to read the entire book, to commence with that reading individually and corporately as soon as possible. They must hear it word for word. They must note the number of times that these people fasted and prayed, and let fasting be one of the clear motivations in their life to know My fullness and to know my plans for them. “They are My people. They are people of My choice. They are people of destiny. The leadership must know that My Spirit will never depart from them. If they draw near unto Me, I shall draw near unto them. More than that, I shall ever be with them, never removed at any distance. Shortly, they will be ministering in this country. They will also be ministering in other countries, but every time, My anointing will rest upon them so powerfully that they will know they are people of My choice, and make themselves available. I want them to know that everyone involved in the ministry, whether it be a menial task, the most unimportant task in their own eyes, if they’re My instruments, they are important. There is no link that can be taken out of the chain. “I repeat, speak to them slowly, deliberately, fearlessly, but with divine compassion. Love them as My people, My Church, My Body, My Bride. Reassure them once again of My love that is infallible at all times, and My Spirit that is available to them at all times since I dwell in them, I’ll be living with them and in them from this day forward more powerfully than ever before. They are My nation. They are My people of priests and prophets. And none of them, not the least of them, should try to withdraw from what I’m going to reveal to them and what I’m to require of them.” Folks, I tried to sleep. But this power of God rested upon me so heavily, so mightily, that I…Whenever God reveals Himself to me it’s quickening and energizing. Yet this morning, when I woke up I was tired out. It was a remarkable experience. I’m going to read a few passages which came to me at that time, to show you the importance of this book. And, Pastor George, I don’t know when you’re going to start it. The Lord said as soon as it’s possible for you to do it, do it methodically, do it faithfully, both in your private capacities, and as a corporate Body.

Men, Pastor George heard from God after asking Him: “Lord, what would make 2026 YOUR most productive year?” The Lord answered: 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [ a ]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [ b ]Amen. Matt 28:16-20 The Lord gave Ps. George further instruction by saying: “Make your church more conducive to the lost” then to “Mobilize the troops!”. Men, we have been mobilized to share Jesus and challenged to develop a culture of invitation. Please see the attached January Men’s Breakfast video and Pastor’s notes below to get the full challenge to “Go make disciples”! Prayer and confession over 2026 – The Year of the Big Fix!

“We are an evangelistic church!” This statement rose up in Pastor George’s heart a few weeks ago and it has carried him every message since. Pastor George continued his series this past Sunday on the importance of bringing others to church. Did you know that 79% of people who come to a church for the first time come because someone invited them? There is no greater tool than personal invitation! We encourage you to ask yourself throughout this week, who can I bring to church with me next Sunday?

For believers, this moment isn’t just about goals or resolutions. It’s about listening for the word of the Lord and aligning our lives with what God is saying now. Every year, Kenneth Copeland shares a word from the Lord for the coming year, setting spiritual direction for believers worldwide. Past declarations, such as 2024 is the year of more and more and more and more! And 2025 , we will come alive with strengthened faith and a sharpened focus. And now, God has spoken again. Across the world—and in our own lives—things can feel broken, stuck or out of alignment. Nations wrestle with unrest. Families face pressure. Individuals face illness, lack, fear or uncertainty. Many believers are asking, “Lord, how do we move forward from here?” On Jan. 4, Kenneth Copeland shared the word of the Lord for 2026 , and the message was unmistakable:
