This writer is glad to see 2025 in the books, now we lean into 2026. The Lord has given us a mission and vision for this year. We are to continue to pray over all of the prayer targets. We are to continue to watch for the unexpected arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the new arrivals to the game are praying in a great spiritual awakening from east to west, north to south across America then the world. We add to that repentance and revival in the Church. Last is how we do all this, and it is in faith, hope and love.
How do we finish strong? In faith, hope and love. That's how we do business as Christians. It is our calling card and what will draw outsiders to the faith. There is plenty of hate to go around in and through the other religions of the world. Our God is love, re-read 1 John 14. In addition to leveling ourselves up into the highest/best versions of ourselves, centered in our Lord's Will-thats all 100% meaningless without love (re-read 1 Cor 13).
The way we transform the world around us is by starting with ourselves. We need to step aside, and let our Lord shine through us. We yield these vessels made of clay to our Creator. We offer ourselves as living sacrifices to Him every day. This world needs more Jesus, we are the delivery vehicles.
There are plenty of fear peddling "prophets" out there because fear "sells." We have not been called to that. We are to proceed forward in faith, hope and love. Yes, we are aware of what the enemy wants to do and as we become aware of more we pray that down under restraint as well as everything else they are trying to do. We are aware of it but not fixated on it. We spend our time broadcasting faith, hope and love which is what this world needs (desperately).
Phil 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Let us pray with each other and for each other for the best new year ever.
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
