What is God Doing?
Almighty God will draw his people closer and secure our position in His Kingdom. He is maturing the Saints and moving us into position faster than we thought and in ways we never imagined. The maturing will seem to happen overnight, and for many, that will be the case, as the things that have held us back will suddenly be removed. The last piece of the puzzle will be placed, and the picture will suddenly be revealed.
This year will be known as the year we, the Saints, took our place, stepped into our authority, and carried out our mandate. Obstacles are being removed, and growth is coming from unexpected places, perfectly delivered, and from the pruning we have experienced in the last season. The old, dead branches have been removed, and the remaining branches are perfectly positioned to produce growth that will lead to a great harvest. God has made our hearts whole by dealing with our past life traumas and our fractured hearts. He is breathing new life into us, removing the mixture, the contamination, and the hypocrisy.
This is a time to start living in the real, and not to be tempted to hide behind facades and false selves that have polluted gatherings. This is not to bring condemnation for old practices and mindsets, but to bring us out of our shells, out of our containment and out of our self-imposed caves into His glorious light that brings purpose.
The battle with the religious spirit, as well as the ever-present Jezebel, continues with greater ferocity, but she will find herself exposed and cast down, and the eunuchs will find their true calling. The Lord is exposing these strongholds in the body so that they will not be tolerated in our gatherings and will no longer be allowed to control.
There will be an awakening in the hearts of many of those who have been dumbed down, especially those who have been disappointed in their faith. They will realise that they can start afresh, that there is a way through, that they’re going to make it through, and that their God is in charge.
There will be an expression of collective letting go of burdens, a sudden shift from a performance mentality rooted in being an orphan to grasping that we are sons and daughters of the Most High God. This will come from discontent with the old ways of doing things and from the influence and demand of the religious spirit that has sought to remove the onus of gaining favour through works alone. This will be the biggest breakthrough for the Lord’s people in the year to come, as the chains suddenly begin to fall off and we experience freedom in our gatherings.
And the Spirit will not be quiet. Holy Spirit is breaking off those deaf ears and opening those blind eyes in a spiritual sense, and where those who thought they could never see or hear Him will begin to see with clarity that their God speaks, their God moves, and their God reveals.
There is a rise in intercessory warfare, not out of necessity but out of obedience, for the Lord is preparing his mighty warriors to engage where they have failed to engage in the past. They will now engage in 2026, confront the enemy, and take their stand on the battlefield, being prepared with the full armour of God and the full weaponry at their disposal. As a result, we will see many battles won, strongholds torn down, atmospheres changed, and whole cities shaken and won for the Lord.
The land's contamination from centuries of bloodshed is coming to the fore. Those with a prophetic calling will collectively address this issue and cleanse the land by speaking to it and calling it into its God-given purpose, free from the contamination of sin and bloodshed, free from contaminated fruit, free to fulfil its purpose in God.
What to expect from the enemy?
The influence of social media is rising as it enters a new phase of targeting the minds of its faithful followers. Let us not be deceived, for this is a massive assault on the senses and the minds of those on Earth, and even the elect will be deceived. Through mind control and even hypnotism, unsuspecting minds will be lured into dark places they thought they were protected from or had resisted in the past. Access doors are opening to the more sinister side of what social media is capable of. Big corporations, governments and enemies will use it to steal the time and freedom of thought from those who are ensnared.
Solution: Facebook and other social media platforms are not your friends; they are part of the World and are influenced by the enemy's dark forces. Choose wisely, step away from their influence, and retain your ability to know the truth, which sets you free, and to speak forth the unadulterated word of God.
There is a growing blurring of what is truth and what is error, what is holy and what is unclean, what is evil and what is righteous. We have seen this already, but as Artificial Intelligence's influence grows, we will see it affecting our once-trustworthy news channels and outlets more and more. We will struggle to tell the difference and will no longer be able to trust what we see as the full truth. AI will be used to influence public opinion like never before, by faceless perpetrators motivated by evil intent.
The rise of AI-driven financial fraud will take the West by storm, and the things we hold dear will be lost as AI makes inroads into society's standards and values.
Solution: Don’t be drawn into using it and losing your discernment. Don’t become lazy and allow it to take away your creative problem-solving and decision-making. Don’t hand over your brain and all its creative abilities for the sake of it being easier and less time-consuming, for it will come at a cost, and it will enslave your soul. Be led by the Spirit and use the wisdom that God has given you to discern what is trustworthy and what is not. Practice creativity in every aspect that you are led and show the World that creation is a beautiful expression of who you are in God.
Author's note: As you read this, do not allow fear to grip you or condemnation or shame to affect you. Your only response should be to weigh what you read and determine by reference to the Word of God and His Spirit what is of God and what is not. All who have a prophetic gift see through a lens dimly and do not see the full picture. We all make mistakes and hear or see incorrectly, and we all filter through our wounds that await healing. I have attempted to honour God by sharing what I see is to come and warning where needed, but more so by encouraging, exhorting, and comforting you, the saints, in your walk with the Lord. It is for all of us to seek our Saviour's face and know His will, especially in these times as the end of the Age fast approaches.
Blessings In Christ Jesus.
