• 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.

• 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

• God wants to give you your heart’s desire in 2025 but your heart’s desire is not God’s best for you. 

• A person who gets what he wants but does not achieve God’s purpose will be a blessed-disappointment.

• A blessed-disappointment is blessed and highly favored but he frustrates the grace of God.
