• Knowing the will of God must be preceded by a determination, a willingness to do the will of God, whatever, it may be. 

• That is the stumbling block for many Christians. They want to learn the will of God first, and then decide if they will comply. 

• When willingness precedes knowledge, it is an act of faith. 

• That is walking by faith. If we insist on first knowing, that would be walking by sight. 

• Pleasing God is not as difficult as people make it out to be.

This is a year of faithful obedience to God, using the “Kingdom Principles” rather than “Empire Principles.”

Kingdom Principles: Faithful Selflessness

Empire Principles: Effective Self-promotion

A carnally minded Christian and an unregenerated person are often so similar you cannot tell the difference.

• The Lord will do strange things this year and it will take great humility, relying on the Holy Spirit to keep up with Him.

• This is not a year to tell God, but a year to ask God.

• This is not a year of negotiation, but a year of instruction.

• 2026 is a year of pursuing God’s priorities.. His Name, His will, His kingdom, the things of God, rather than the things of men.

• This is a year to recognize and reject distractions.

• God will show a difference between those who seek Him those who do not.

• Those who seek the Lord will find Him and all other things. Those who seek other things will miss the Lord.

• This is not a year to resist the Lord. Doing so will only slow down your own growth. 

• For as long as you are running the show called your life, you will be far from entering into the best that God has for you.

• There cannot be two captains of your destiny, and God will not fight you for the helm.

• Whatever You’ve been, God wants to make you better.

• Great joy… the intended outcome of the gospel.

• Christ, the anointed, is first introduced as Lord.

• Glory to God in the highest…  Glory has to go to God, higher than any other glory

• Peace on earth among those with whom God is pleased…. Peace on earth is not general but individual and corporate. 

• On an agenda, the end of one event marks the the beginning of another. 

• The enemy attacks an event/item more violently as its allotted time is winding down. 

• Fear not if your strength is small. God can strengthen and sustain you. Just keep on believing. 

• Give God the final say and silence the enemy

Every loss surrendered to Christ becomes a place where His grace blossoms and His purpose unfolds.

Every loss for Christ becomes a pathway for better gain.

What we lose is temporary. What we gain is eternal!

When you let go of idols, you gain the one true God who reigns over all.
