“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
~ Matthew 7:13-14
They were still the Lord’s people, but they were no longer on the Lord’s side.
When we live for ourselves, we are pleased, when we live for Christ, God is pleased.
Great Grace is always God's response when His people please Him.
Knowing the will of God must be preceded by a determination, a willingness to do the will of God, whatever, it may be.
A stumbling block for many Christians is insisting on first learning the will of God before deciding if they will comply.
When willingness precedes knowledge, it is an act of faith.
If we insist on first knowing, that would be walking by sight.
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
