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!

Speaker Highlights
"What you declare in the hard times determines your outcome. What you say in the hard times either releases or stops the power of God. If you'll hang on to God and His Word, you will come out through the fire. You will come out, and you will be victorious." // Kenneth W. Hagin
"God wants us to have a passion for the lost. That's our first assignment. God has given us so many things in our rights and privileges in Christ. But it's time for us to quit concentrating on what we can have and go tell the world what they can have in Christ. There's 6 billion people that haven't heard the Gospel, and we must tell them." // Lynette Hagin
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. We need to get fired up, stir up the Greater One in us, and win the world for Christ. How? By following Peter's example when the lame man at the Gate Beautiful asked for money. Peter didn't have money, but he gave the man what he had. Let's take what we have to the world and change it." // Craig W. Hagin
"Part ofthe weight of the Rhema mandate is relating to younger generations. That means not criticizing them because they do things differently but instead working with them. How do you think the Gospel will continue from generation to generation if we don't have 'Timothys' we are mentoring? If we want to impact the future, we have to build bridges, not walls." // Denise Hagin Burns

A Call to Arms 2024 Highlights
The A Call to Arms Men's Conference, themed "Going Over," inspired attendees to live courageously and faithfully. Kenneth W. Hagin challenged the men to go beyond what is comfortable and expected and apply the going over mindset. He called on them to embody Christ's example of love, integrity, generosity, faithfulness, forgiveness, and commitment in every area of life to honor God and leave a powerful legacy.
During the two days, there was an emphasis on facing challenges head-on and trusting God for strength. The men were reminded to make God's Word the foundation of their lives and let it guide their responses in every situation. They were encouraged to reject fear, knowing victory is already won through Christ. With powerful reminders that God's strength is within, men left empowered to embrace their roles with confidence, purpose, and faith.
Be sure to save the date for A Call to Arms 2025, November 6-7.
Speaker Highlights
"We, as men of faith, are called to a higher standard. We are surrounded by mindsets of shortcuts and self-centeredness and to do the minimum to get by. But Christ calls on us to live differently, to go beyond what is expected."
// Kenneth W. Hagin
"There will be times in life when something rocks your world. Remember Jesus words, 'Be not afraid, only believe' (Mark 5:36). The Greater One lives in you, and He gives you overwhelming victory if you will only believe."
// Craig W. Hagin
"For our hearts to remain open and uncontaminated, there needs to be an intimacy with the Word of God. It needs to be personal. It needs to stay in the center of our hearts. It can't just be a scripture on the fridge."
// Paul Cavenah
"There will be a time in your life when you're facing Goliath. And when you beat him, it's going to open doors. But you have to do the work. You have to go on that narrow road where nobody's watching. What's done in secret will come to light if you do it God's way."
// Adrian Griffin
"God gave us something to do, and we want to be faithful to do that, not what He gave somebody else to do. We want to hear when we stand before Jesus, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' "
// Jim Preston
