This month we in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving. When I think of Thanksgiving, it is easy for me to begin counting the days until Christmas. And if your mind races ahead as mine does, you begin to wonder, “How will I ever get everything done for the holidays?” If we are not careful, we begin to develop a bad attitude long before the holidays begin. And wrong attitudes create stress in our life.

The Rhema campus is abuzz with excitement as preparations begin for Winter Bible Seminar 2018! On February 18-23, people from around the world will gather in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, for this special event. Through worship, ministry, and fellowship, attendees leave edified and refreshed!

Services begin Sunday, February 18, at 6 p.m. in the Rhema Bible Church auditorium and continue Monday through Friday. Guest speakers will minister at 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., followed by Lynette Hagin at 10:30 a.m. and Kenneth W. Hagin at 7 p.m.

Children and youth ministry is available for infants through 12th graders during the evening sessions only. First through 5th grade will meet in the Rhema Kids Auditorium. Winter Blitz services for 6th through 12th graders will meet in the Varsity Youth Building Monday through Wednesday and Friday.

On Monday, February 19, a "Welcome Back Fellowship" for all alumni of any RBTC campus around the world will meet in the NRC after the evening service. It will be an awesome time to catch up with old friends as well as meet new people.

What a strong start to Winter Bible Seminar 2018! Pastor Hagin started a series of messages on the covenant we have with God. It's vital to know our rights and privileges. We have a much better covenant with better promises! The surety of the covenant is Jesus Christ, our mediator. It's also important to know that our covenant is based on Jesus' blood — it cannot be broken. Because of the blood, we're entitled to the new covenant and all it's benefits!

Lynette Hagin spoke on the importance of living a holy, consecrated life unto God. If we want revival to come, it starts with us. We need to live according to the Word of God, and reject the things of this world that can pollute our minds. How do we do this? By communing with the Father and reading the Bible every day.

Other speakers included Rhema Bible Training College instructors.

Here are some powerful quotes from all the speakers:

"The power of the blood of Jesus is the key to the new covenant!" //Kenneth W. Hagin

"It's so important that we don't take the things of God for granted." //Lynette Hagin

"It's a choice to let the peace of God rule in your heart." //Denise Hagin Burns

"Every one of us can find a justification to resign. Have a resignation prevention plan." //Joe Duininck

"Sin will cause you to not live to your full potential." //Doug Jones

"The enemy wants you to quit your faith and just 'put up' with life." //Kirk Dubois

We are looking forward to all God has to tell us the rest of the week! To catch all the services live, you can watch on rhema.tv.

Whether we realize it or not, words can be weapons. And most of us have found ourselves embroiled at some time in a war of words, even if we would never fight with our fists. Words can be more powerful than a boxing punch and cut more deeply than any knife. When used as weapons, words are able to mutilate and destroy.
