By Kenneth W. Hagin
The lights, the Christmas carols, and the handsomely wrapped gifts are all part of the sights and sounds of Christmas. But is that what Christmas is really all about?
To some, Christmas is the shepherds, the magi with their camels, and the angels singing “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). But we must not allow the sights and sounds of the season to take away from the true meaning of Christmas!

Faith Ignites at Campmeeting
An amazing time was had at Campmeeting as all generations—from the youngest to the oldest—were ministered to by the power and presence of God.
A highlight of the week was Kenneth W. Hagin's rousing message, 'We Are Those Who Walk by Faith.' His words ignited a renewed passion to live a lifestyle of faith in the hearts of many. Rev. Hagin challenged the audience to persevere in their faith, stir themselves up, and believe God unconditionally.
Many left Campmeeting with a renewed sense of freedom and spiritual strength, ready to carry the momentum gained into their daily lives, churches, and communities.
Mark your calendars for Campmeeting 2025—July 20-25!
Speaker Highlights
"We are those who walk by faith, believing God no matter what. I don't care what it looks like. That has nothing to do with it. We live and walk by faith. It's a lifestyle."
// Kenneth W. Hagin
"We are commanded to forgive people, despite what they do. Unforgiveness only hurts you. It doesn't hurt the offender. Forgiveness takes away the power the offender continues to have in your life."
// Lynette Hagin
"The Bible doesn't say we're supposed to help God figure out our problems. The Bible tells us to only believe. All things are possible to those who believe."
// Craig W. Hagin
"Do you have 'even if' faith? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had this kind of faith that says, 'My God is able, but even if he doesn't.' Even if faith believes God, period."
// Denise Hagin Burns
"To run our race effectively, we must keep our affections set on things above and not on loving the things of this world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible."
// Marty Blackwelder
"Don't ever be afraid of following God's plan. Step out. It pays to follow God. Just take the time to make sure it's the plan of God, and then go after it."
// David Crammer
"When you yield to the Holy Ghost, you get a touch from Jesus. That’s why the woman with the issue of blood got healed. Everybody else was just curious."
// Mark Hankins
"God is looking for some fanatics, radicals, on-fire, Spirit-filled, tongue-talking, Word-speaking, devil-casting, healing believers who will do the works of the Kingdom of God."
// Darrell Huffman
"New moves require a new mind. God has something new for you, but if you're stuck in an old mind, you will never experience what He has for you next."
// Josh Pennington
"The Bible never tells the sinner to come to church. It tells the church to go into all the world. If we have good doctrine, we ought to have good demonstration."
// Roddy Shaffer
"There's nothing wrong with asking God to help you. But if that's all you ever do, you never get outside of your own life. But you have something. You have an answer for the world."
// Lois Taucher
"God doesn't move for no apparent reason. He connects the past, the present, and the future according to His plans. God has a plan for every individual. No one is an accident in God's mind."
// Marvin Yoder

Winter Bible Seminar 2024 brought together Rhema family from around the world for a week filled with unity, fellowship, and inspiration from the teaching of the Word.
Speakers taught on topics ranging from moving beyond the past and what it really means to be like Jesus, to faith for healing and learning to listen to God's voice. The sessions were marked by moments of deep prayer, thankfulness to God, prophetic utterances, healings, and psalms and spiritual songs.
The conference served as reminder of the power of unity in spreading the message of faith. Attendees left refreshed, strengthened in spirit, and equipped to impact their communities, churches, and families with the Word and power of God.
Make plans to join us next year for Winter Bible Seminar and Rhema Worldwide Homecoming 2025, February 16-21. In the meantime, here are some highlights from the week.
Speaker Highlights
"God is always faithful. It doesn't matter what your situation looks like. God will deliver you. Nothing is too hard for Him. He is a turnaround specialist. People miss it when they continually focus on the problem. You can't deny a situation's existence. It exists, but God's faithfulness says, 'I will come through for you.' "
// Kenneth W. Hagin
"The more praying we do, the more God is able to do for us on the earth. The Lord wants us to pray in agreement. As we pray together, it enlarges the power and speeds up answers to our prayers. If we all came together as the Body of Christ agreeing, there is nothing we couldn't accomplish for God."
// Lynette Hagin
"When you have the Greater One inside you, there is no battle you will fight that you'll ever lose. You may be thinking, 'How am I going to overcome?' Take yourself out of the equation. Your part is to only believe. When the Bible says only believe, it means only believe and drop the mic. All things are possible to those who believe."
// Craig W. Hagin
"When you graduated from RBTC, you made a commitment to take Jesus to the world. The mandate is what binds us together. As a family, each member has a responsibility so the Rhema family can operate the way God designed it. What are our family commitments? One: we serve together. Two: love unconditionally. Three: stand in unity. Four: pray together."
