God doesn't want to give you something new - He wants you to use what you already have in a completely different way. What if the breakthrough you're praying for isn't about getting more, but about stretching what's already in your hands? Are you ready to envision more than you already see?

The story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 demonstrates how making room for God in our lives positions us for supernatural blessings. She prepared a special room for the prophet Elisha, which led to receiving a miraculous son. When the child later died, her faith remained strong as she took him to that same room where God's presence dwelt. Through her unwavering faith and refusal to speak defeat, she witnessed another miracle - her son's resurrection. Making room for God means giving Him access to every area of our lives and creating space for His presence through prayer, worship, and obedience.

When life leaves you with nothing but a handful of hope, God can still work miracles. The story of Elijah and the widow in Zarephath shows us what happens when hope is deferred - we question whether we hear God, our faith gets robbed, and our willingness to obey diminishes. However, even when faith feels weak, we can prepare for breakthrough by increasing our ability to hear God, strengthening our capacity to believe, and stepping out in obedience with whatever we have. Sometimes surrendering what we're clinging to is exactly what God needs to perform a miracle. Your assignment might be someone else's answer, and your obedience doesn't just affect you - it can change things for many people

Are you creating more room for your future or for temporary pleasures? God will make the way, but you have to make the room. Sometimes you need to buy the laptop case before you have the laptop - showing God you're serious about preparing for what He's promised. What faith move will you take this week to prepare for the breakthrough God has planned for your life?

As we enter 2026, instead of making resolutions we'll abandon, we can align ourselves with God's purposes. According to the Hebrew calendar, this year represents multiplication and connection - a time when our intentional choices will hook us to God's abundance. The theme is prepare to prosper, meaning to break forth into success in every area of life. Like the barren woman in Isaiah 54 who was told to enlarge her tent before receiving children, we must make room for God's blessings before we see them. This requires spreading out our hearts, minds, and expectations while driving stakes of faith through intentional actions that connect our future promises to our present reality.

The Christmas story reveals how God shows up in unexpected ways, transforming silent nights into holy encounters. Many struggle to experience God because they fabricate expectations of how He should appear rather than allowing Him to reveal Himself authentically. The God you see may not be the God you want, but He is always the God you need. Scripture reveals ten primary ways to encounter God: through worship, suffering, obedience, prayer, community, service, work, sacraments, nature, and stillness. God also speaks to us in ten distinct ways, from instructional to intuitive to audible communication. Divine experiences are designed to transform us and exalt God, not just inform or elevate ourselves.

The shepherds didn't just want to hear about Jesus—they wanted to see Him personally. What if the difference between knowing about God and actually knowing God could transform everything about your faith? There's a profound difference between being a scholar and being a son or daughter. Which are you pursuing?

The real Christmas story wasn't a peaceful silent night - it was five days of grueling travel, no room at the inn, and giving birth in a stable. Yet in that darkest moment, God wasn't absent - He was arriving. What if your silent night is actually God preparing something greater? Sometimes we need to stop putting on our shoes to go find God and instead take them off to recognize we're already standing on holy ground.
