Words from the Lord: "You are not regressing, but progressing!"

I had a dream the other night, and I want to share it with you. Because I believe it is pivotal at this juncture of your life, and as you cross the halfway mark of this year 2026.

In the dream, I was inside someone's house as a guest. It was a huge house. All of a sudden, I saw a group of violent men armed with dangerous weapons and guns outside the house. They were trying to force through the gate to enter the house. They were trying to invade the house. The next thing I know, there was a fierce battle between those outside and those inside. It wasn't like an armed fight, but rather, gunshots everywhere. 

At first, those inside the house seemed to be panicking because they were regressing in the battle and they were heading towards defeat. Those violent men outside seemed to be too powerful and strong. But you know what? Just then, something miraculous happened... 

All of a sudden, those inside the house found themselves equipped with weapons they've never seen before. These were powerful weapons. I saw a new strength and boldness in those inside the house. The battle began to turn around. The next thing I know, those inside the house were advancing and progressing. The momentum has shifted to their favor. Eventually, the violent men outside had no choice but to flee. It was a resounding victory for those in the house! 

I woke up from the dream. It was so real. Many details in the dream were still vivid as I woke up. So, I asked the Lord what this dream meant. The Lord said this is an assurance and help for those who look to Him at this juncture of their lives. This is an assurance that He knows how to turn each of your 'battles' around, whatever that 'battle' may be in your life.

As you look forward to the second half of this year 2026, the Lord is saying to you: "Contrary to what the enemy wants to make you think, you are not regressing, but you are progressing!" 

Yes, I want to make this declaration by faith upon your life: "You are not regressing, but you are progressing!" 

'Regressing' can be defined as 'returning to the previous/past' or 'returning to a worse condition/state'. This word 'regress' is derived from the Latin word 'regressus', meaning 'to go back'. It speaks of 'moving backward, instead of forward'. It speaks of 'taking a step backwards or into negativity, instead of taking a step forward with hope'. In the context of what God is saying today, 'looking to God for what's ahead'. 

'Progressing' can be defined as 'moving forward, advancing, developing, and improving'. It speaks of you keep moving and moving on. It speaks of you advancing in your life. So, whatever 'battle' you may be facing today, the Lord is right now giving you the strength and anointing to progress. 

Your part, beloved, is to keep looking to the Lord and keep focusing on the Lord, trusting that He will know how to clear the way for you. 

Proverbs 4:18 says, 'The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.' 

As a beloved of God in Christ Jesus, you have been made righteous. So, your path is shining brighter and brighter. That's what this Bible verse says here. While the path of those who walk away from the Lord is full of hopelessness, full of gloom, or even regressing, your path is progressing. Your path is shining ever brighter. More and more. Not less and less. 

In fact, as the light of God is shining brighter and brighter in your life, many things in your life will become clearer and clearer, going forward. There will be clarity. Clarity in God's vision for you. Clarity in God's purpose for you. Clarity in God's mission for you on this earth. 

The Lord wants to tell you further: 

"With this light shining upon you, like the sun shining brighter and brighter, I will cause you to see clearer and clearer what's ahead of you. I will give you a new vision and purpose. I will expand your horizons. I will renew your strength, and you will begin to soar with wings like that of the eagles."

The Lord is also saying to you: 

"You will have a fresh outlook. You will have fresh new ideas that I am giving you, going forward. You will see new openings and even new open doors that you've not thought possible. I am going to open new horizons for you. But you've got to look ahead, and let go of those past. Those pains. Those defeats. Those disappointments. Those frustrations. Look away from those. But look to Me. For I am saying to you, better things are going to come your way in the months ahead!" 

In Isaiah 43:18-19, the Lord says, "But forget all that (i.e. what's in the past) - it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland."

Psalm 33:18 says, 'The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love.' 

Now, 'the eyes of the Lord' here speaks of Him continuously watching over you and making sure that you are in His good hands. 

So beloved of God, you have nothing to fear. No fear of what's ahead of you! Just like the 'battle' in the dream I had, you too will see yourself progressing and walking in greater victories the rest of this year. Amen!

Words from the Lord: "It's time to ride on My wave!"

While I was praying and seeking the Lord the other day, I saw a huge wave coming. I saw people riding on the wave. But the good thing is none got submerged or drowned by this huge wave. In other words, this is a good kind of wave. This wave is bringing the people to see many things that they have not seen or experienced before. 

That's when I heard the Lord say: 

"I am bringing you to the next level in this time and season. I am releasing this new wave in the spirit for you to ride on. Nothing can stop this wave that comes from Me. Move with how I move.  I am also causing you to see from a brand new height. You are going to see the many things that you have not seen or experienced before. It will be good." 

In the Bible and in the biblical interpretation, 'wave' or 'waves' can be a good thing or can be a bad thing, depending on the context. But this wave that I saw is definitely a good one. It is not a wave of destruction, but it is a wave that brings you to see from new heights. 

In the context of God's message for you today, 'wave' or 'waves' can be interpreted as 'a good change in something, an increase in the amount of something, a renewal or transition into something better, or a progression into something greater'. 

I heard the Lord say further: 

"No looking back. I am giving you the power and strength to rise above whatever that has submerged you or drowned you. It is supernatural. It will confound the enemy. It will cause the enemy to turn back. The enemy thinks it is impossible, but nothing is impossible to Me. You will begin to rise above what has held you back or pulled you down all these while. You will begin to see what has been thought to be impossible be now made possible. This is the new season I am bringing you into." 

Let's go to Psalm 56:9-11. This is a psalm of David at a time when the enemy captured him. David declared: 'When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. In God (I will praise His word), in the Lord (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?' 

Let's go to The Passion Translation now. This translation paraphrased these verses this way: 'The very moment I call to You for a Father's help, the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! I trust in the Lord. And I praise Him! I trust in the Word of God. And I praise Him! What harm could man do to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes.' 

As I sought the Lord further, I heard the Lord say: 

"Everything happened for a reason. Even in your darkest hours, and even at times when you don't understand why things happened the way they happened in your life, I have always been there for you and I have always been watching over you. You may not see Me or how I work, but I see you and I am continuously working in your life. I know how to work things together for your good. Therefore, no looking back, but keep looking to Me. I see the end from the beginning. I see the destiny that I have for your life. And I have always remembered My plans and destiny for your life. Take heart." 

Maybe you have been going through some of the darkest times in your life. Maybe you have been in a situation like you are 'groping in the dark', not knowing what to do with your life anymore. This may be in your career or in any area of your life. Or maybe you think you are at a dead-end road, and the enemy 'adds salt to the wound' and makes you think you are 'checkmate'. Whatever your situation may be, the Lord is encouraging you today through Psalm 56. 

You see, like David who was captured by the enemy at that time, and seemingly having no way of escape, the Lord wants you to know that He will always have a way of escape for you. Even in ways that are unconventional to humans. Even in ways that are imperceivable to humans. Yeah, even in ways unthought of by humans. 

As you ride and surf on this wave that the Lord is releasing, the Lord is bringing you to new things and new changes in your life. Good things. Amen!

Another example of God remembering His destiny for a person, even when a person has long forgotten it or given it up, is Moses. Remember when Moses had to run for his life away from Egypt into the wilderness? He then became a shepherd in the wilderness for some forty years. By then, Moses had long forgotten God's destiny for him. He probably thought he would be a shepherd in the wilderness the rest of his life. But you see, he didn't know that was actually a time of preparation for him. The Lord was constantly working behind the scenes to prepare him for what is to come. In other words, the Lord remembered His plan and destiny for Moses. What was that plan and destiny? To save God's people from slavery in Egypt. 

One day, as he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, God called him from the midst of the burning bush, "Moses, Moses." And he said, "Here I am."

Beloved of God, the Lord is also calling your name right now. Will you say to Him, "Here I am"? Because He is about to do great and wonderful things in your life.

God then said to Moses, "Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people out of Egypt." But Moses said, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the people out of Egypt?" So God said, "I will certainly be with you..." 

God also said to him, "What is that in your hand?" Moses answered, "A rod." To Moses, it was just a rod. An old shepherd's rod. Nothing more than that. He didn't know that God would use it in ways inconceivable to him. This same rod, when he raised it up, caused great miracles, signs and wonders. And yes, even opened the Red Sea! 

God is saying the same to you: "What is that in your hand? What is that you have now? I will use it, even in ways that you cannot imagine yet." 

Before we wrap up this message today, let's read Exodus 4:10-12. Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." So the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth?... Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say." 

You know what? The rest is history. Moses fulfilled God's destiny for him to lead God's people out of slavery. And with God with Moses, and God doing miracles, signs and wonders through Moses, even that great, powerful Pharaoh had to concede. God's people never needed to go back into slavery in Egypt again. You see? No looking back, but looking to God! 

For you too, beloved, no looking back, but looking to God! No more doubting. No more hesitating. But trusting in the Lord with all your heart. Trusting in the Lord that He knows what He is doing in your life. Amen! 

Prayer: 

"O Lord God, we thank You for Your words for us today. No looking back, but looking to You. We want to ride on this wave that You have released for us. We will not fear, because You are with us and for us. You will cause us to see the many things that You have wanted us to see. You will cause us to walk in greater heights that we have not imagined possible. You will cause us to fulfill Your destiny that You have planned for us all along. So, we keep moving forward. We know, like You have done for David and Moses in the Scripture, You will also guide us and lead us - step by step, every step of the way - if we look to You and seek You. In the name of Jesus. Amen."
