Uncommon Lessons
From The Christmas Story
 Elevate Your Character
with the Characters of
Christmas

There’s more to Christmas than buying gifts and the traditional songs we enjoy each year. In
Jesse Duplantis’ latest book, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year—Uncommon Lessons from
the Christmas Story, you’ll be inspired to live a higher life of faith by exploring the wonder of
God’s mysterious ways in the lives of people, both ancient and modern. Broken into five key
sections, Dr. Duplantis shares personal insights on some of the more unusual elements of the
Christmas story through lessons on:

• CAESAR AUGUSTUS—How the unconscious obedience of an unbeliever worked to

facilitate God’s plan for Christ’s birth, and how to recognize when God uses this same
unusual method in your life, too.

• JOHN THE BAPTIST—How God prepared the way for Jesus’ first coming by sending
a unique, pure-living and straight-talking forerunner, and how it’s very likely He will send
even more forerunners before His Son returns to earth once again.

• THE WISE MEN—How science and spirituality converged to bring “three rich Gentiles”
from foreign lands to honor The King of Kings, and what we can learn for our own lives
from the humble and generous Magi about abundance, obedience, great intentions, and
generosity.

• MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS—How the character of Mary was more praised and
important to God than sexuality, and how we can learn more about strength of character, faith
in God, urgency in obedience, and the sacred feminine bonds of divine connections.

• JESUS, SON OF GOD—How the God of the universe and beyond became the “baby in
the manger” we see portrayed at Christmas, illuminating our own existence and bringing
hope, light, and joy to the world by becoming “God with skin.” You’ll be inspired to see
the manger in a new light, and will be reminded that the story of Jesus isn’t over yet!

Take a fresh look at the manger and beyond with Dr. Jesse Duplantis in The Most Wonderful
Time of the Year—Uncommon Lessons from the Christmas Story.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW JESUS
or if you just aren’t where you should be in your walk with God
and want to rededicate your life to Him, would you take a moment
to pray this prayer? All you have to do is reach out to God with
a sincere heart and He will reach right back down to you and
help you, right where you are. This prayer is just a guide, and I
encourage you to pray from your heart—remember, you are a spirit
and God is going to recreate you from the inside out. That’s how
God works. Change begins in the heart. If you are ready, please
pray this prayer with me now:

“Lord Jesus, I need You in my life. Thank You for coming for me, for loving me, dying for
me, and taking me just as I am right now. I believe You are the Son of God and that You
came to save everyone, including me. I ask You to forgive me and help me now—I know
You see my spirit and know my heart, and I accept Your love and sacrifice for me. Thank
You for saving me, for bringing me back where I should be, which is with You. I accept
You now as my Lord and Savior. I am Yours and You are now mine, and I will never live
without You again. I release all my shame and guilt to You, Lord. I give everything I have
in my heart over to You to make clean and pure before You. Be with me now, Lord. I
accept by faith that You will always, from this day on, be with me. On earth. In Heaven.
For the rest of my days and all of eternity. Show me Your good ways, Lord. Help me to
grow in Your ways so that I can live my best life, starting now. Thank You, Lord! Amen.”

Welcome to the family of God! I’m your brother now. You’ve got brothers and sisters all over
this world, and many generations back as well…but you’ll meet those in Heaven later! God
has so many good kids and some bad too, but they’re all His kids and He loves each one. If you
prayed this prayer, would you please contact our ministry to let us know? We’d like to bless you
with a free booklet, Understanding Salvation, that will help you as you take the first steps toward
a new life with Christ. Also, we encourage you to find a good church, start reading your Bible,
and listening to messages of faith that inspire you. Remember that God is good, the journey of
life is so much better with Him, and your best days are always going to be when you allow His
Spirit to lead you. God loves you, and this is just the beginning of a new life for you. God bless
you on your journey!

 Obeying the Call
to Preach the Gospel to the World
Each time I travel to preach the Gospel, the goal is
to reach people and change lives for Christ. I want to
shed light on the love of God—the love that propels us
to salvation, healing, prosperity, favor, victory, and every
other good thing that comes from above.
For over 41 years, I have been focused on my
calling to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the
world. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life” ( John
3:16). Everlasting life is about more than just
making it to Heaven. It’s about beginning to really
live and advance in every area right here on earth.
That is why world evangelism has been the driving
vision of my ministry from its inception in 1978. I
have been passionately reaching people and changing
lives by preaching the Gospel of Jesus in almost 4,000
different churches and conventions held around the
world. I have been going non-stop, rescuing souls from
the pit of hell and introducing the lost to Christ in
meetings across the globe. I’ve passionately obeyed the
Lord’s command to “Go into all the world and preach
the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15 NLT), and my
commitment has never wavered.
Now, more than ever, I am determined to make
sure every person hears the Good News. I am
compelled by the Spirit and hear the cry of people
from every part of the world in the same way that
the apostle Paul heard the Macedonian cry in
Acts 16:9-10. I am obeying the call to preach the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
God has challenged me to believe Him for an
aircraft that will fly one-stop anywhere in the world
to preach His Gospel. This will be an amazing
evangelistic tool that will take me further than I’ve
ever been able to go, and I want you to believe with
me! With your faith-filled prayers joined with mine,
I know that God will bring this vision to pass.

honor and praise for all the wonderful things
God does through this ministry. And until
the whole world hears of salvation and until
every heart knows the joy of the Lord, Jesse

Christmas is a celebration of the glorious
life that Jesus Christ came to give to the world.
Ephesians 1:8-14 (MSG) says, “He thought of
everything, provided for everything we could possibly
need, letting us in on the plans He took such delight in
making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-
range plan in which everything would be brought
together and summed up in Him, everything in deepest
Heaven, everything on planet earth. It’s in Christ that
we find out who we are and what we are living for.
Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes
up, He had His eye on us, had designs on us for glorious
living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in
everything and everyone. It’s in Christ that you, once
you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your
salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed,
and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God
is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder
that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a
praising and glorious life.”
The testimonies that I share in every issue of our
monthly ministry magazine have been sent to us by
precious people who are experiencing the glorious
life that Jesus came to give to the world. Jesse and
I and our entire staff pray that you and your loved
ones will have a Merry Christmas!

United Kingdom: The first time I had ever heard
of you, Jesse, was when, perchance, I caught your
message on TV of your supernatural trip to Heaven
(Heaven: Close Encounters of the God Kind). You were
the first person I had ever heard describe Heaven
and how utterly amazing and beyond imagination
it is. The colours, the smells, no shadows anywhere,
the jasper wall... and those aborted, stillborn, or
miscarried babies which He has safe. Hearing your
message that day I was hooked and have avidly
followed you ever since. Your humour and sincerity
are such a blessing to this world—no wonder the
Lord chose to take you there. He knew you could be
trusted with that privilege and to faithfully remind
His children that He’s coming. On a different note,
might I say how inspired I have been from your
timely message, Your Everything Is His Anything.
I am stretching my mind and growing my faith,
believing for big things even outside of my needs.
Thank you so much for giving of your time to visit
the UK. We are so blessed to have you.
North Carolina: Thank you for your ministry.
Thank you for being obedient to God’s calling on
your lives and for sharing His Word. I lost my mom,
as well as my brother and his wife this past year. My
mom introduced me to your ministry and I have
recently partnered with y’all. I listen to you daily
and watch you online. It really helps me to stay in
God’s Word and stay positive about the future. The
experiences you shared about Heaven have brought
me tremendous comfort. If I’m somewhere and
afraid, I just put on Jesse Duplantis and all the bad
vibes go away. I really appreciate all y’all have done
to help me and others grow and have a closer walk
with Jesus. Thank you!
Indiana: Two years ago my husband was let go
from his job. I called your ministry for prayer, and
in no time my husband had another job. The person
who had to let him go got a phone call looking for
the certain kind of truck driver my husband is. It
is not very often you hear that the person who let
you go from a job gets you another one, praise God!
We lacked nothing. A week ago, he got another job
making double what the last job paid. Thank you for
your ministry. I’m proud to be a Partner.
Facebook: I love y’all very much! I am a truck driver Email: Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed

Nebraska: I just wanted to send a very huge thank you Church. You are family!
for your prayers. I called in and asked for agreement
in prayer for a stronghold I had in my life—worry! I
am only 37, but ever since I was a kid, I have had an
“Olympic gold medal” in the sport, if you know what I
mean. In all seriousness, though, it was so bad. I always
believed (even as a Christian) that it was just who I
was and it was “part of my personality.” I accepted
the jokes people made about me, and I even joked to
myself about it. But torment is a nightmare; it really
isn’t funny. The Lord would speak to me about it over
the years, and more and more I realized it had to be
dealt with. Worry was a sin? I believed it, but I had no
idea how to deal with it. I began to get serious about
it and study scripture about worry, fear, and anxiety,

In Your
and I’d speak it over me, pray about it, meditate on it,
etc. Within a few weeks of calling your prayer line, I
began seeing dramatic changes in my thinking. The

WORDS
Lord has shown me the root causes of why I was
thinking the wrong way—why I was tormenting
myself. My stomach even began to heal. I remember
when I was about 9 years old, my parents examined
my stomach because it hurt so much; but they couldn’t
find anything wrong. It didn’t hurt enough to go to
the doctor. The Lord said, “That was anxiety.” He said
my allergies were due to my torment. My right ear had
been bothering me for years with a strange pressure
and it has stopped bothering me because the fear went
away. He said that the more I heal from torment, the
more I will see other things heal. Wow, I believe it!
Thank you so much for all you do. You are also prayed
for…ALL of you. Prayer is POWERFUL! Our God is
alive and doing well, as Jesse says! Blessings to you all.
Do you have a testimony of how our ministry
has impacted your life, your family, your
business, or your church? If so, we’d love
to hear from you! All submissions will be
considered for publication. So if you have a
story, a testimony, or a praise report about how
you’ve been blessed by JDM, please send it in.

Thank you! – Cathy

Let Your
JOY OUT!

22 • Voice of the Covenant

 The American Heritage Dictionary defines joy as:
“Intense and especially ecstatic or exultant happiness;
an expression of such feeling.” Now multiply that by
one thousand and you begin to get a glimpse of the
kind of joy that the wise men experienced on that
first Christmas so long ago.
They were on a divine mission from God to
shower His Son with gifts and rejoice over His
birth—to let their joy out! The Bible tells us that
they traveled to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He that
is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in
the east, and are come to worship Him…When they
saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy”
(Matthew 2:2,10).
I believe that those wise men experienced pure
joy—intense and especially ecstatic or exultant
happiness. When I consider this definition of joy, I
believe that they had to be jumping up and down,
twirling, skipping, and dancing around the hillside as
they followed that star. After all, this was the most
anticipated event since the creation of the world.
They had traveled a long way and at considerable
expense to announce the birth of this newborn King.
This level of joy could not be contained; it had to be
expressed and declared. It had to come out and be
demonstrated to everyone they met on their journey.
I think we all enjoy seeing expressions of real joy.
When someone wins an Olympic gold medal, we
aren’t concerned about them being overly intense
or ecstatic about their happiness. In fact, when they
jump in the air, spin around, or do a cartwheel, most
of us will laugh and rejoice along with them.
I saw an unforgettable photo many years ago that
was taken at the precise moment the USA baseball
team’s pitcher realized that his team had won the
gold medal. He had dropped to his knees, threw his
hands to the sky, and was smiling from ear to ear. The
caption under the photo read, “The joy just came out!”
When our heart is full of real joy, it is important
that we let it out. Isaiah 61:10-11 says:
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul shall be joyful in my God; for
He hath clothed me with the garments
of salvation, He hath covered me with
the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornaments, and as a
bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
For as the earth bringeth forth
her bud, and as the garden causeth the
things that are sown in it to spring
forth; so the Lord God will cause
righteousness and praise to spring forth
before all the nations.
These powerful verses inspire me and help me
to realize how important it is for my soul to let my
joy out.
Don’t Neglect Your Praise
I used to have a sunroom that was filled with large
silk plants that stayed beautiful all year long. I never
had to worry if the sun was too hot for them or if
they were getting enough water. All I had to do was
keep the dust off the silk leaves and they always made
my sunroom look great. This is not at all the case
for the four live plants that huddled together in one
corner of that sunroom.
Although I did not seek them out, I felt real
sympathy for the plants that were entrusted to my
care. Why? Because I knew they would probably
have many near death experiences. I can’t count how
many times I used to walk into my sunroom only to
see their beautiful leaves all wilted and on the verge
of death from plant neglect. Although I keep trying,
it has been very difficult to take proper care of living
plants with my heavy schedule. The amazing thing
to me is that no matter how bad they looked, I was
always able to bring them back to life again. With
just a little water, it wasn’t long before I would see
those leaves perk back up and become strong again.
That is the way it is with our praise. When we
neglect our praise, our spirit will begin to wilt and dry
up. We may even feel like we are having a near death
experience in our spirit. That is precisely the time
that we must offer up a sacrifice of praise and begin
to rejoice in the Lord. Why? Because the joy of the
Lord is our strength!
Throughout the Bible we see people who saw
the power of God and walked in victory when they
refused to allow the circumstances of life to stop their
praise. The apostle Paul discovered the power that

praise could unleash while chained in prison along
with Silas for preaching the Gospel.
Speaking from firsthand experience, Paul
encouraged the Philippians to “Rejoice in the Lord
alway: and again I say, Rejoice” (Philippians 4:4).
In 2 Chronicles, we see that King Jehoshaphat
took it a step further:
And when he had consulted with
the people, he appointed singers unto the
Lord, and that should praise the beauty
of holiness, as they went out before the
army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for
His mercy endureth for ever.
And when they began to sing and
to praise, the Lord set ambushments
against the children of Ammon, Moab,
and mount Seir, which were come
against Judah; and
they were smitten…
And when
Jehoshaphat and his
people came to take
away the spoil of them,
they found among
them in abundance “When they saw the
both riches with the
dead bodies, and star, they rejoiced with
precious jewels, which
they stripped off for exceeding great joy.”
themselves, more than
they could carry away:
(Matthew 2:10)
and they were three
days in gathering of the
spoil, it was so much.
2 Chronicles 20:21,22,25
The king was obedient to follow God’s plan for
victory and sent the praise team out before the army.
As soon as they began to sing, the Lord went to work
and set ambushments against their enemy. I don’t
think they were able to even finish the first song
before the battle was over. It took them longer to
gather all the riches that the wicked had left behind.
Now that is blessed!

Rehearse Your Victory Dance
I don’t usually watch football on television, but
one day I happened to see a player dance all over
the end zone after making a touchdown. The crowd
cheered as we watched him strut his stuff, spike the
ball, and walk off the field in victory. That was when
I thought to myself, I wonder if he rehearsed that
dance? I knew he must have worked very hard during
practice just so he could make that very important
touchdown and win the game. So I asked an NFL
football player if a touchdown dance was ever
rehearsed and he said, “Oh yeah!” I knew it!
I believe we need to rehearse our victory dance
and rejoice about the promises in God’s Word. Psalm
119:162 says, “I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth
great spoil.” You don’t have to wait until you actually
see your victory before you begin to rejoice. In fact,
thanking God and rejoicing when you pray is a vital
key to receiving any promise
that is in the Word of God.
Psalm 5:11 tells us, “But let
all those that put their trust in
Thee rejoice: let them ever shout
for joy, because Thou defendest
them: let them also that love
Thy name be joyful in Thee.”
When you put your
trust in God, letting your
joy out is not very difficult.
Once you believe in Jesus,
even though you do not see
Him, your heart will be filled
with a joy that cannot be
put into words. 1 Peter 1:8
says, “Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though
now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory.”
As you think about all that Jesus means to you and
to the world, take time this Christmas season to let the
joy out. Refuse to allow the cares of this life to cause
you to neglect your praise. Remember, “ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him Who
hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light”
(1 Peter 2:9). You were created to let your joy out!

Let me start by saying that my Visionary
Experience started in 2007 when I was facing 25
years behind bars. I started listening to Bro. Jesse
Duplantis, and every day I could hear him say that
nothing is impossible with God. I started asking and
believing, and God answered. I did four years and
got out. Then, guess what? I see Bro. Jesse is going to
be in Conroe, Texas, so my wife and I go see him. I
remember sitting and listening to him and thinking
to myself, God, I want double the funny. I loved the
way he preached the Word and made people laugh;
it was medicine to my soul!
Well, years go by and guess what? I’m the Pastor
of Get Wrapped Church in Spring, Texas! He
did say believe the impossible, right? I also travel
as an evangelist preaching the Gospel to all who
will hear the Good News. Remember I said it all
started in 2007? Well, it gets better! In 2018, I get
a call from Jesse Duplantis Ministries saying Bro.
Jesse wants to interview me. I was in shock! After
all these years, I finally got to meet him. God has a
sense of humor, and His plans never fail. So, Jesse
literally flies himself out to come preach at our

church, and we got to spend time with Bro. Jesse
and Sis. Cathy Duplantis.
Then, we get invited to the 2019 Visionary
Conference, and when you breathe the atmosphere
there, it brings Heaven into your Vision and
you begin to dream BIG. We were reminded
that we are citizens of Heaven—what I like to
call “Heavicans”—meaning we are to live in the
impossible; that we live by faith and not by sight.
As my wife, Ruthy, and I spoke about the
Conference, she said, “Babe, we serve a limitless
God. We must remove the limitations.” And
now she’s off and running, starting our Women’s
Ministry, and we are now planning on launching
a campaign to buy land so we can build what God
has called us to—to set the captives free. I am also
working on my first book right now and launched a
clothing line that will help evangelism in America—
yep, you guessed it: Heavican Apparel. So, what did
the Visionary Conference do? It ignited a fire in us!
Thank you, Bro. Jesse and Sis. Cathy Duplantis
for allowing us to be a part of an atmosphere that
helps us see the impossible!

I have been to lots of conferences, but the Visionary
Conference is one of the best I’ve ever been to and is
now on my “WILL NOT MISS” list of meetings that
Lacy and I will be at every year. Why? I was surrounded
by people intentionally daring to believe big—talk about
a spirit of faith! I left the Visionary Conference with my
mind stretched to the max. Entering the conference, I
thought I was believing big; after the conference, I found
out I wasn’t believing big enough.
Jesse told us to write down some dreams we
wanted to see fulfilled in 2019 and then start
believing God for them to happen. There were some
financial dreams that I had occasionally thought
about, but I had never been serious about stretching
my faith for those dreams to come to pass. Well, Jesse
and Cathy inspired me. I started dreaming God’s
dreams for me and set my faith on them. Now, those
dreams are coming to pass!
One of the things I wrote down was that I wanted
to make $100,000 this year and have our debts paid
off. Well, God put Lacy and I in the right place at the
right time and blessed us with two mind-blowing real
estate deals. The profits not only paid off every single
debt, but also left us with a surplus of over $200,000!
The financial course for my family took a drastic

turn in the God direction because of the revelation I
received from Jesse and Cathy.
During one of the services, Bro. Jesse pulled me
out and began to prophesy over me. Two things
were said: (1) What God called me to do would
take more money than I was believing for and (2)
the ministry of healing was going to increase. Well,
it wasn’t long after that, ministry doors for more
healing conferences across the US and Europe started
opening up and I realized...this is going to cost a lot
of money and I need to do some stretching!
We started getting more partners hooking up to our
ministry and my oh my, how the miracles have flowed!
We just recently returned from a healing conference
we conducted in Poland and Kenya; we had lots of
healings and miracles, including two blind and one
deaf were healed. We have been seeing tremendous
results in the area of healing over the years, but 2019
has topped them all. This year alone we have seen more
blind and deaf healed, tumors dissolve, and incurable
diseases healed than ever before.
I’m so thankful for Jesse and Cathy. They continue
to inspire us to dream big, believe big and receive
big...and then go bigger! The 2020 Visionary
Conference can’t come fast enough!
