January 2026 Partner Letter

Dear Partner,

Now that 2025 is in the rearview mirror, don’t go back and try to pick it up again (Romans 8:1). 2026 is here. When I was praying at the beginning of 2025, I heard The LORD say, 2026 is the Year of the Big Fix.

Let’s begin with God’s WORD in the First Covenant in Isaiah 43:1-2 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition):

1. But now [in spite of past judgments for Israel’s sins], thus says The LORD, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

Now look at verses 4-6:

2. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have Loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
3. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
4. I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.

Notice verse 6 says, “I will say.” NO ONE can fight thoughts with thoughts! Jesus said, “Therefore take no thought, saying” (Matthew 6:31). In the Second Covenant Jesus also said. Look at Mark 11:20-25:

• And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have Faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Now, dear Partner, The BOOK says that we have a heavenly grant or guarantee. Mark 11:20-25 AMPC:

• In the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered [completely] away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away! And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have Faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.

Now back to the First Covenant in Isaiah 53:4-5, AMPC: “Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.”

Go with me, now, to Matthew 8:14-17 in the AMPC: “And when Jesus went into Peter’s house, He saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and began waiting on Him. When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick. And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.”

What do all these wonderful facts and promises mean to you and me? Hebrews 13:8, AMPC, says: “Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).” Then, Isaiah 43:5 says to “FEAR NOT”! Why not? Because fear is not OK! “Fear not” is not A SUGGESTION—it’s A COMMAND. “Fear not” occurs nearly 80 times in The WORD of OUR GOD—more than 60 times in the First Covenant and about 15 times in the Second Covenant. Different phrasing like “be not afraid” occurs 26 times.

Second Timothy 1:6-7, in the AMPC, says: “That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of Love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.”

Partner, 2026 is here. So let’s obey the word of the great Apostle Paul in verse 7. Here, at Kenneth Copeland Ministries, we pray these words for you. Let’s read verse 7 again, and place your name in that verse: “FOR GOD DID NOT GIVE ME, OR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY, A SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY OR COWARDICE. BUT HE HAS GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A CALM AND WELL-BALANCED MIND, DISCIPLINE AND SELF-CONTROL—BECAUSE FEAR TOLERATED IS FAITH CONTAMINATED!”

Romans 14:22-23, AMPC, says:

• Your personal convictions [on such matters]—exercise [them] as in God’s presence, keeping them to yourself [striving only to know the truth and obey His will]. BLESSED (happy, to be envied) is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves [who does not convict himself by what he chooses to do]. But the man who has doubts (misgivings, an uneasy conscience) about eating, and then eats [perhaps because of you], stands condemned [before God], because he is not true to his convictions and he does not act from Faith. For whatever does not originate and proceed from Faith is sin [whatever is done without a conviction of its approval by God is sinful].

Now look at Romans 4:16-17 in the AMPC: “Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of Faith and depends [entirely] on Faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the Faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all. As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.”

This is 2026! Now continue reading verses 18-25, AMPC:

• [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in Faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be. He did not weaken in Faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s [deadened] womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by Faith as he gave praise and glory to God, fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His WORD and to do what He had promised. That is why his Faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God). But [the words], It was credited to him, were written not for his sake alone, but [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our LORD from the dead, who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God].

I’ll close with these exceeding great and precious promises that the sinless BLOOD of Jesus ratified when He was raised from the dead and sat down at our heavenly Father’s right hand at the Throne of Grace. Look at Hebrews 4:16, in the AMPC: “Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].”

Glory to GOD! “Fearlessly and confidently and boldly.” Now Galatians 3:7-9 in the AMPC: “Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by Faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of Faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be BLESSED. So then, those who are people of Faith are BLESSED and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.”

There it is. God’s Partners! I don’t have the space in this letter, however this verse is from a letter written by the great Apostle Paul to his partners in Galatia. And since KCM began in 1967, when I was 30 and Gloria was 25, until last month, when I turned 89 on the 6th, and Gloria turned 84 in February we, too, have written to our Partners with joy and thanksgiving. Remember, Ephesians 4:15-16, in the AMPC says: “Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in Love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in Love.”

One million “joints of supply,” right here in the USA and around the world! So, Partner, YOU ARE ONE IN A MILLION! Remember, God Loves you, we Love you, and Jesus is LORD!

Love,
