How to prepare for the year 2026?

The Lord says: 

"There will be peace for a time, but then chaos will erupt again, both in the east and the west. Pray. Pray for peace and understanding between nations. The selfless prayers of the righteous are key and crucial in this coming year 2026. Never underestimate your prayers. For I will intervene. I will grant you wisdom and revelation as you pray."

"Stock market and financial market shaking is imminent, and the repercussions will be widespread in many sectors. However, for those who seek Me, I will be found by them. For those who count on Me for My wisdom and revelation, I will grant them and prosper them. They shall prosper in My way, in spite of shaking in the worldly ways."

"Earthquakes, drought, and floods will be more and more frequent in the coming year. The key is to grow in your spiritual walk with Me, and ask of My guidance and leading in your life, and that you will be led by My Spirit to be at the right place and at the right time. Learn to be led by My Spirit more and more. Pray in the spirit often. That is the key. Always return to My Word. Dwell even deeper in My Word, even if you've read it many times. For there's so much more I want to speak to you as you read My Word. For there are many more layers of wisdom, revelation, and treasure in My Word, more than you have thought."

"At the same time, there will be great awakening and revival in many nations. North, south, east, and west. No stone will be left unturned. They will be awakened to My righteousness. They will be awakened to My holiness. They will be awakened to the need for the Higher One. This is the era of the best and the worst happening at the same time. But the flood of My Spirit will be widespread, even in places you've previously thought to be the hardest of all places. The last shall be the first. Repent therefore from all kinds of sin. Repent on behalf of your nation. Let your nation be not filled with stupor, but with My Spirit."

By the way, 'stupor' basically means 'being in a state of spiritual dullness, numbness, or insensitivity'. This is due to a hardened heart, unbelief, or a lack of repentance. When a person is in such state, he or she cannot hear, cannot see, or cannot understand the spiritual things and spiritual truths clearly. There will be no clarity in the spirit. There is also a sense of spiritual lethargy, spiritual apathy, and even ingratitude. This can apply to an individual, or even a nation as a whole. 

This is a message from God for all of us. It's high time for God's people to spend time in deeper communion and fellowship with the Lord. He will surely tell you deeper secrets, whether in your life, or for your city, or for your nation. So, this month, the Lord is cleansing, so that there will be clarity in the spirit for God's people! 

The Lord says: 

"Return to the basics! 'Empty' yourself from all the intricacies and entanglements in your life, or whatever that distracts you from a deeper spiritual walk with Me. Clear the clutter. Clear what needs to clear. Clear whatever that entangles you or complicates your life. Clear your sins. Simplify your life. That's how you can prepare for the year 2026. You'll be glad you did."

"Forgive those who have offended you or wronged you. Do not keep an account of all those. Let go and let Me take over, no matter how much loss has been incurred on you or how difficult it is to forgive. I will help you if you look to Me. Clear yourself from hatred and anger. Clear yourself from any form of bitterness against anyone who has wronged you. For My blessings will begin to flow to you like a river." 

In Matthew 5:3-10, Jesus says (in The Beatitudes): 

"Blessed are the poor (or humble) in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." 

So, people of God, stop being greedy for power and fame. But return to the basics. Return to what Jesus says. Return to the purity and humility in the Lord. This can apply whether as an individual, or as a church, or as a city, or as a nation. 

The word 'Beatitude' here comes from the Latin word 'Beatus', and it simply means 'Happy' or 'Blessed'. These blessings offer each of us (His people) a pathway to true and lasting peace and joy. The peace and joy that is rooted in a deep relationship and personal walk with God. 

The world may not agree with this, or they may even laugh at us. But the truth is God has spoken this Beatitudes as the keys to lasting peace and joy in our lives. For those who believe and walk in it, blessed or happy are they! True blessedness! True happiness! Not a facade. Not something that is conjured up by humans. But the happiness and the blessedness that comes from above! From the Lord!

Receive this fire that helps you to advance in your life!

I saw this vision during a time of prayer. It's a vision of fire coming from above. This fire aglows. This fire lights up the room that's dark. It's a fire from God! I could literally feel the presence of God in the room where I was praying. I saw this fire burning away the hands that sabotage, the hands that disrupt, the hands that disturb, and the hands that cause danger or evil. 

Then, I heard the Lord say, "Whatever that sabotages, whatever that disrupts, whatever that disturbs, and whatever that causes danger or evil to you, this fire from heaven, the fire of God, the fire of the Holy Spirit, burns all these away." 

The Lord said further, "This fire is clearing away the hindrances that the forces of darkness have put against you. This fire is clearing your path. This fire is clearing your path in life, your career path, and whatever path that I have destined for you to walk in. This fire goes out in every direction, and it destroys every hand of evil or hidden hand that tries to come against you, whether in the spiritual realm or in the physical realm." 

The Lord also said, "This fire is holy. The fire of holiness and purity. This fire cleanses. This fire purifies. This fire burns away the chaff or whatever that's undesirable. This fire brings light to whatever that is darkness in your life. Keep receiving from Me. Keep this fire burning. Like the lamps burning on the lampstand in the Temple in the days of old. For this fire will never go out. This fire keeps on burning and touches many lives around you." 

In Leviticus 24:1-2 (Expanded Bible), the Lord said to Moses, "Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives. That oil is for the lamps so that these lamps may never go out." 

Leviticus 24:3-4 says further, "Aaron (the priest) will keep the lamps burning in the Meeting Tent from evening until morning before the Lord... This law will continue from now on. Aaron must always keep the lamps burning on the lampstand of pure gold before the Lord." 

Beloved of God, like the Tabernacle or the Temple those days, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit under the New Covenant! (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Now, this fire is not an ordinary fire. This is the fire of God. This is the fire from heaven. This is the fire of the Holy Spirit. This fire clears the way for you to fulfill your God-given destiny. This fire accomplishes things for you. And when God accomplishes for you, no man can stop it! Why? Because this fire is greater! This fire is greater than any force of darkness that tries to come against you. 

The Lord then said, "This fire will not die. This fire cannot be defeated. This fire cannot be vanquished by the enemy. As you open your heart and continue to receive this fire inside of you afresh and anew from Me, I will see to it that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every word that comes against you in judgment, you shall condemn and overcome." 

As I was praying, I also kept hearing this word "haba" in Hebrew. This word can be found in Psalm 118:26. Let's read from the Expanded Bible. 'God bless [Blessed be] the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless all of you from the Temple [house] of the LORD.' 

See the words 'who comes' here. In Hebrew, the statement "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD" is read as "Baruch Haba B'shem Adonai". 'Baruch' means 'Blessed'. 'Haba' means 'He who comes'. 'B'shem' means 'In the name of'. 'Adonai' means 'The LORD'. 

"Baruch Haba B'shem Adonai". Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! 

Let's zero in on 'who comes'. It is 'haba' in Hebrew. Specifically, the word 'comes' is 'ba' in Hebrew. It can also mean 'befall (like the light or fire that falls on you), embrace, abide, enter'. 

Who is this that 'haba'? Who is this that brings light? Who is this that comes with fire? Who is this that enters? 

Psalm 119:130 says, 'The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.' 

Now, that's the key: A simple heart and a childlike heart. A life that clears oneself of the complication that's in this fallen world. And that's how you're going to receive and be enlightened. Welcome Him. Welcome this light. Welcome this fire. 

Who is this 'Word of God', as in 'Your words give light' here in Psalm 119? None other but Jesus! He is the Word of God became flesh, and He dwelt among us (John 1:14). And He comes with the fire that burns away infirmities and sins. This same fire has been released upon you! He is igniting in you this fire that keeps burning! Like in the Tabernacle or the Temple of God in the days of old!

As you receive this fire, and as you continue to pray in the spirit, let God show you many things. Let God illuminate you. Let God enlighten you. Let God cause you to see the many things that you couldn't see in the past. Let God show you His secrets! 

Interestingly, one verse after Psalm 118:26 that we've read just now, Psalm 118:27 (Expanded Bible) says, 'The Lord is God, and He has shown kindness to us...' This can also be understood as 'has illuminated us' or 'has given light to us'. Amen!

Today, the Lord is calling you and inviting you to join Him and embrace Him! Embrace His light. Embrace His fire. Because He is in the midst of illuminating you. He is enlightening your spiritual eyes of understanding. Many things that you couldn't see in the past, you shall begin to see. Many things that you couldn't understand in the past, you shall begin to understand. Things will be made so much clearer for you!

Why you shouldn't be worried or anxious about your future

God wants to tell you this: 

"Don't allow yourself to regret or think about what could have been or what should have been. Trust in Me for your future and trust in My timing for your life. I am still in control. All things will eventually work out for your good. I still remember My plans and destiny for you. These plans are always and will always be the best for you." 

Trust God that He knows what He is doing in your life. 

Imagine an artist drawing a masterpiece. At first, you do not know what he's drawing. You cannot figure out what he's drawing. You may be asking, "Does the artist know exactly what he's doing?" or "Does the artist have any idea what he is up to?" Of course, if he is a good artist, he already has an idea! 

It is the same with God. God is in the midst of drawing a masterpiece, a great artwork in you. Soon you will know the full picture. And it's going to be good! But you've got to believe. 

Maybe there's no open door yet for you. Maybe there's no breakthrough yet for you. Maybe nothing significant seems to be happening in your life right now. Or maybe some things you've wished for have yet to happen or are delayed. 

Be patient. God sees all that. He is still very much alive in your situation. Your breakthrough will come!

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) says, 'Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord.' 

Two times it's written here: "Wait, wait."

This word 'wait' here in the original Hebrew is interesting. It's not like what you understand this word 'wait' in English. This word 'wait' is 'qavah' in Hebrew. In our context about waiting on God here, it can mean 'to gather (strength) from the Lord, to look patiently to the Lord, to collect (strength) from the Lord, to bind together with the Lord (like two ropes binding together)'. 

Do you know this word 'qavah' actually comes from the word 'qav' in Hebrew, meaning 'rope' or 'cord'? 

Imagine you are a rope or a cord, and you are binding together with another rope or cord, a much stronger one. That's a picture of God and you! God and you. You and God. Binding together! Nothing's going to be able to cut it off. That's what it means here by binding together two ropes. In your weaknesses, He is your strength. He is going through it together with you!

So, no matter how cruel this world may be, God is with you! He is 'binding together' with you! He is going through all this with you! 

This psalm was written at a time David was going through a difficult patch of time, and he was in great distress. He was being hunted by King Saul. He was on the run. King Saul wanted to kill David, even though David didn't commit any wrong. In fact, David won a victory for King Saul. But King Saul wanted no threat to his throne as king. King Saul wanted to finish him off!

Instead of losing hope on God, David learned to 'qavah' and trust in the Lord his God. He believed this time of danger and persecution would finally end. He just had to wait things out. Of course, little did he know that this was also part of God's training in his life to prepare him for something greater. 

Beloved of God, the same it is for you. The Lord is preparing you for something greater! So, as you 'qavah' or wait on the Lord, it's not like nothing is happening. The Lord is in the midst of strengthening you! The Lord is doing something inside of you! The Lord is strengthening you in many ways. 

Why? So that when your eventual success or breakthrough comes, you are ready, and you will not fall under the "weight" of that success. In other words, you're up to it. You're up to the new heights that God is bringing you to! 

So beloved of God, trust that God's timing is always the best for you. God knows the perfect moment to act in your life!
