"But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture." (Malachi 4:2 NLT)
The Year of the Great Reward!
We heard the Lord say, "For many, 2026 will be a year of joy, freedom, and great reward! To those who have been through the fire of refinement, to those who have been faithful and have not backed down from My assignment, to those who have walked in obedience to My words, regardless of the cost, I say to you, 'GET READY!' Things will turn around in a day! Situations will turn around in a day! Impossibilities will turn around in a day! Do not grow weary at this time, for many will reap a bountiful harvest!"
"Rather, as it is written: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9 BSB)
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book.'" (Psalm 56:8 NLT)
Prayers Answered, Spoils Acquired!
The Lord says, "The fullness of the decades of the prayers and petitions that many have been interceding for are about to be realized and answered! Hold on and do not give up in this hour. Do not grow weary, for the spoils of the enemy's camp are about to become yours. I have great and mighty things in store for you! Truly, your best days are still ahead of you! Do not cast away your confidence in this hour, for truly you will see My goodness in the land of the living." (Photo via Pexels)
"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." (Psalm 27:13 NKJV)
Trauma Cycles Broken
"In this year, many will experience freedom from cycles of trauma and fear-based thinking. This type of thinking has kept My children in bondage and hindered their forward momentum.
"In this new year, there will be a reset. Great freedom is coming! Joy will be your portion! You will no longer remain stuck in these cycles, but you will come forth unhindered and unbound. Joy will crush the dark night of the soul.
"Truly, I give joy in place of mourning and beauty for ashes! I am faithful and will continue to be faithful in the midst of whatever you are facing," says the Lord of Hosts.
Our Testimony
In the beginning of 2025, the Lord released a word to us that 2025 would be "the year of the double." We agreed with that word and exercised our faith to believe and receive "the double" concerning many things that we had been praying and contending for. Each week, we agreed in prayer for us and our partners and our followers to enter into the double and to receive whatever was needed for that year.
Truly, as we looked back on that year, we could see that God answered those prayers for us on many different levels. First, we received double the amount of words posted to our blog site than in any other years past! It was truly a heavenly experience and we were so honored and humbled by the amount of responses and feedback we received from our readers!
Second, we doubled our living space as we were unexpectedly presented with the need to move and relocate. Not only was it double the living space, it was also double the quality of the living space we previously were living in! It was a quick move, but the good Lord was with us and guiding us in the whole transition, and we are truly grateful for that!
Jeff got a promotion with his line of work. This was not something we tried to search out and labor for. It truly came without us looking for it!
Lastly, our family grew in size this past year with the addition of another son-in-law and with the great news of us soon becoming grandparents! Wow! What a great God we serve! (Photo via Picpedia)
Our pastor has us repeat this phrase each Sunday after hearing of the testimonies of others each week. We encourage you to repeat it out loud for yourself as well:
What God has done for others, He is doing for me, and greater things than these shall we see! All the glory, all the glory, ALL THE GLORY, be to our good God. Amen!
Press In for 2026
As we continue into this new year, let us press in to hear and to receive that which the Lord is preparing for us! Truly, this year will be even greater! He is a TOO GOOD GOD! Be encouraged and know that when the time is right, the Lord will make it happen. It is the kairos time! Expect His goodness today!
"The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will accomplish it quickly." (Isaiah 60:22 BSB)
