“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” 3 John 1:2, NKJV.

“May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children” Psalm 115:14, NKJV.

I pray that you prosper in all things. I pray you prosper in becoming like Christ and in your relationship with Him. May His praise fill your heart and mind today. I pray you prosper in your emotions. I pray you prosper in your finances and health today. You prosper in God’s word and in your prayer life. You walk in the Spirit and effortlessly bear more of His fruit. I pray that you prosper in your marriage, and that you and your wife are touched with a greater appreciation for each other. I pray you prosper in fatherhood and parenting your children. You progress, you succeed in being a leader, and in the workplace. I pray that you are focused more than you’ve ever been and that you take no days for granted. Like a workman, you keep your hands to the plow in your gifts, and you keep pressing forward. I pray you prosper in your determination to be like Christ, no matter what comes. A righteous man may fall seven times, but he rises again. You keep rising! You prosper in your dependency on God. As you reach out to God, He’s reaching right back and giving you grace for what you need. I pray that you increase in faith and patience to inherit every promise. I declare you prosper in the wisdom of God and your decisions ahead. The peace of God fills you more and more because you have an expected end. You know who you are. You prosper and increase in all things. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV.

Believe it or not, we live a supernatural life. It’s awesome that we have access to God, and He speaks to you. We have Holy Ghost power in and upon us. We have the fruit of God’s Spirit, His love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The life we now can live is a supernatural life.

We are in this world, but not of it. God’s presence is real. The power of God is real. You have the wisdom of God to know things that you naturally shouldn’t know. The gifts of the Holy Spirit and He shows us things to come. You have an unction and a discernment you can tap into from His Spirit of what to do and what not to do. You can pray and evil moves. You can be out somewhere, and then all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit speaks to you. He is inside of you, and He comforts and encourages you.

The old is gone, and you are born again. You are completely a new creation with Jesus living in you. You’re empowered by the grace of God. You have freedom and authority over sin. You have the blessing and favor of God on your life. Through Him, there’s nothing you can’t do. Don’t settle for living a mediocre life. Red Bull says it gives you wings, but it doesn’t. Jesus does. The greater One lives in you! You are full of God and don’t let anything stop you from living a powerful, supernatural life!

Prayer: Father, You are good, and thank You for giving us a new life, a supernatural life. Greater are You in me than he that’s in the world. Help me to surrender to it. Help me to live dependent upon Your Spirit. Jesus, have Your way in me. Teach me to live and walk in the Spirit. I agree with You. I’m full of You, and I’m blessed in all things. I embrace it and will not settle for living a mediocre life, but a supernatural one! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Psalm 77:14, John 14:12, Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:16 & 22-23, 1 John 4:4

“Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah” Psalm 3:8

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” Joshua 1:8-9, NKJV.

When in scripture God says “Selah”, it means to pause for a moment. Think on it. Let that sink in. Give His word time to move from head knowledge to heart knowledge, from information into revelation, from something that you think about to something that you’re living out.

Hear the Holy Spirit, because He could very well be wanting you not to move so fast when you read a scripture to minister to you, to speak to you, to give you exactly what you need in what you’re going through, to transform you. Here a little. There a little. Line upon line. Precept upon precept we grow in God (Isaiah 28:10). Whether you see Selah or not, if the Holy Spirit stops you at a word or one scripture today, and says let that sink in, then so be it. Meditate on it because He has something to reveal to you from it. His word is like a hammer and will break every rock in our lives. God wants every single word He’s spoken to sink in and change your life.

Prayer: Father, I give You all the praise. You are good, and there’s none like You! Thank You for Your wisdom in pausing and letting Your word sink in. Help me give You room to speak to me. I’m going to slow down today, and meditate on a scripture or even just a few words that You’ve spoken. Use it and change me. Use it and turn information into a transformation in my life. Here a little and there a little. continue to conform me into the image of Your dear Son. Bring good success in my life. Thank you, Lord, for it. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

Study: Psalm 1 & 4:4, Jeremiah 23:29, John 6:63, Romans 12:2

“…He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” John 8:44, NKJV.

Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. And I’m not mostly talking about people. I’m talking specifically about the devil. He is called the accuser of the brethren. The devil will come with thought after thought, in a variety of ways, on your job, in your car, telling you who you are, what you can’t do, what won’t change, and your limits. Your ceiling of life. He will even say, because of the track record of your past, that’s your identity.

Jesus says the devil is a liar and the father of them. Let God be true in every man a liar! Only Christ has defined who you are and who you will become. We’re not perfect, and until we reach heaven, we won’t be. You’re still a new creature in Christ. You’re still more than a conqueror. You’re still growing, and loved while you’re doing it. God will still complete the work He has begun in you!

Say no more.

The devil will never speak of your progress. He is lonely in his hopelessness and in his eternal end. Because of Jesus, you are never without hope. Because of Jesus, you have an expected end! Never without mercy. Never without grace. Never without a good God. He has never, and will never, tell you what you can’t do. You have been blessed with a liberty that condemnation cannot contain. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! You are free to live. You are robed in Christ and you who God says you are. Jesus has given us victory over all things, whether external struggles or internal ones. God says this will be the last time the enemy is allowed to tell you who you are because you say no more.

Prayer: Father, I give You all the glory, and You alone are worthy of it. I thank You for stirring my soul this morning because I am who You say I am, and I can do what You say I can do. I no longer listen to the devil’s lies. I’m not perfect and still growing. The Son has made me free! I rebuke all manner of depression and anxiety. I agree with my God. I am a mighty, powerful man of God. I am anointed, and I dominate over the enemy. I reign in life. I will walk out the abundant life You have given me. Hallelujah! In Jesus name, amen!

Study: Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:1-2, Timothy 1:7, 1 Corinthians 15:57, 1 John 1:9, Revelation 12:10

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” Matthew 11:28-30, NKJV.

“Do not embrace anything more than Me. It is time to embrace more of Me. Embrace My word, and My ways. I have a purpose and a plan for you. Embrace them. Like a child that cleaves to their mother and father, Cleave to Me. I will protect you. I will heal you. I will provide all that you need. It is time to fully embrace who I have called you to be. Take my yoke upon you. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Take My yoke upon you and rest. Rest in who I made you. Rest in what I have given you. You have everything you need that pertains to life and godliness. But you must embrace it. Do not be afraid. Consider your ways and replace them with Mine. Embrace where I’m taking you. You were born for such a time as this. Embrace My yoke. Agree with it. You must let go of what you think about you and receive what I say about you. I am the way, the truth, and the life. Go where I say to go. Do what I said to do. My way will bless you”, says the Lord.

Study: Psalm 18:30, Jeremiah 1:5-8, Matthew 7:11, 2 Peter 1:2-4, Hebrews 4:1-6

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” Matthew 7:13-14, NKJV.

Yes, I know. God’s way is narrow. God’s way will cost you, and there’s no way around it. Your will and your way can’t come with you. Yet, broad is the way to destruction. Narrow is the way to a man’s real strength and abiding satisfied in Christ and in life. Narrow is going beyond just knowing how to be the man God created you to be, but being one.

Go the narrow way and follow Jesus. Carry your cross and live holy. Be a husband and father. Be a servant at your church and embrace God’s family. I know the Lord is asking you to wake up in the morning to spend time with Him. I know there are times He’s asking you to fast. I know you are having to love people sacrificially, forgiving, forbearing others, and being long-suffering. Even those times when you want to speak, and the Holy Spirit says don’t say it. When it’s all said and done, Jesus’ way is narrow, but broad will be your blessing. Abundant life now. Joy now. Victories, reward, and a promised rest will be your end and your eternity with the Lord. You can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens you, my brother. Don’t be deceived. Take the narrow way.

Prayer. Father, I give You all the praise and glory. Thank You for blessing me even to know Christ and the narrow way. The narrow way is Your way. Father, I want to live Your way. Strengthen me, Jesus, to do this today. I can’t do it without You. Help me by faith to pay the cost and carry my cross. I thank You that as I choose the narrow way, You will bless me to experience life beyond what I can ask or think, even eternally. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Study: Genesis 22:1-16, Matthew 16:24, John 10:10, Ephesians 3:20-21

“For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” 2 Peter 1:3, Amplified.

You have Jesus Christ in you, the Hope of glory. You’ve been given all things that pertain to life in godliness. You have access to the true and living God and His power that resides on the inside of you. Goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life. You have the fruit of His Spirit and His grace upon you. You have God given gifts and abilities. There is a glorious plan and dreams that God has shown you. You also have time and strength to spread the Gospel and be a blessing. Don’t take it for granted.

You may not have everything you want, but you are very blessed. When you realize the Lord didn’t have to do it. When you know it could be someone else and not you, you approach your life and your time in an entirely different way. Let gratitude be the fuel to your fire to be everything God ordained you to be today.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for all You are in my life, and for all You have done in my life. You didn’t have to, but You chose me. Forgive me if I’ve taken You or anything in my life for granted. I won’t do it, Lord. I’m so grateful for the plans You have for me and how You are blessing me to walk them out. I give You praise! I declare gratitude will be like fuel to my fire to be everything You called me to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: John 10:10, Ephesians 1:3 & 2:10

“May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children” Psalm 115:14, NKJV.

In this year of more, God is going to bring more increase into your life. He’s going to bring more opportunities for that increase also. The key when your increase comes is to discern the will of God for it and execute what He tells you to do with it. Write down the vision for the increase. Whatever the Lord tells you to do with it, designate it for that purpose.

The enemy will come and pursue to derail you from God‘s plan, but stay sober and vigilant about what the Lord says. The way you manage your increase now will set up the more that is to come. Remember, it’s all His, and you are a steward. When you walk uprightly before God, He won’t withhold any good thing from you, but you have to be a wise steward about what He blesses you with.

Prayer: Father, I praise You! Thank You for the wisdom of increase. All that You give me is not mine, but it is Yours. I’m only a steward. Even before it arrives in my hands, by Your Spirit, speak and give me the wisdom for it. Help me remain focused and be vigilant about the increase to come. With the opportunities that You bring to me, help me to seize them this year. Continue to reveal your will to me for increase, and help me to execute what You say. I thank You for more increase. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Psalm 84:11, Habakkuk 2:2-3, Luke 6:38 & 16:11-13, John 10:10

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me” Psalm 3:3-5, NKJV.

I love how God always meets us where we are. Whether our head is down and we don’t know how to lift it up. If we are fighting through internal struggles. When we recognize that we need to obey Him and require help in surrendering to it. When we feel like we need to get back on track, I’m thankful the Lord will meet us right where we are.

The Lord is meeting you right now. Receive it. He’s meeting you with mercy, strength, wisdom, and grace. He is extending His hand of help and comfort. You are waking up in the morning, and the Lord is confirming He is with you. You are never forsaken. You are His son, and He is your everlasting Father. He will meet you right where you are.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for Your great mercy and grace toward me. Meet me right where I am. Deal with my heart. Deal with any sin. As You extend Your hand of help, I lift my head. I will always rise because you supernaturally pick me up. You are good, and I thank you for that. I would never stay where I am because you always meet me where I am. Move in a great way in my life today. In Jesus’ name, amen!

Study: Psalm 30, Romans 8:1-2 & 15:13

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive” Genesis 50:20, NKJV.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28, NKJV.

For some of us, everything in life appears very colorful, like a work of art, but we still see no meaning in it. But like an artist, the Lord knows exactly what He’s doing. Everything will come together at the appointed time. It may not make sense, but the Lord is connecting all the dots for you. You’ll see why some things He allowed to happen and why some things didn’t. It has all brought you to this very season.

We all have trying moments as men, but now is not the time to be discouraged. The year has just begun. Don’t worry, your God is at work. Stay in the fire, your God is at work. Discern by Spirit that before it’s all done, as you trust, obey, and remain in His will, He will bring what He told you to pass in your life. Keep letting the Master work on you.

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your encouragement. Sometimes, everything doesn’t look like it’s coming together in my life, even with my mistakes, but the Master is still at work. Thank You for working things out like You do. You are good, and I will see a masterpiece. I will walk and be conformed into the image of your Son. I will walk out the calling You have given me. Do more in my life this year than in any other year in my life. In Jesus’ name, amen!

Study: Romans 8:28-30, Ephesians 1:11 & 2:10

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” Psalm 119:105, NKJV.

The Message Bible translation for this verse says, “By Your words I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path.” Allow God to show you His way through His word. God’s word is His way of doing things. His word will show you the path to take to get to where God desires you to go. It will light your path to knowing the Lord and becoming a better man. It will give you the principles and the wisdom for financial increase. It will light the path to health in your marriage. It gives us faith, strength, and encouragement when we need it. His word will show you what not to do and give you the knowledge of His will for you.

We all need a lighted path right now. Don’t discount the power of His word. Jesus is the Way. His word is the way.

Prayer: Father, I love you, and I thank You for loving me. Your ways are higher than our ways. Fill me with the knowledge of Your will. Help me to receive Your word as Your way, and apply it. Show me the way into courage, into faith, and the way into the wisdom I need. I don’t wanna handle it my way anymore. I’m gonna do it Your way. In Jesus’ name, amen!

“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” – Colossians 1:9-10

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand” Proverbs 19:21, ESV.

“In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will” Ephesians 1:11, ESV.

Let Him be God today. Let the Father make the decisions. Let Him lead, and you follow. Don’t sit in His seat today. The only One Who can do something about it is Him. Control what you can control and let Him do the rest. Do your part in believing and let Him do the rest. Give Him complete reign over your mind and emotions. Receive patience and reject worry. There are things outside your scope of strength and ability, and you are simply going to have to trust Him.

As you release it to the Lord, He will respond with His love, peace, and assurance that He will do what He said He will do. He will keep every promise in His word. You’re a man, but don’t try to be who you weren’t created to be. Leave it in His mighty hands. Let Him be God.

Prayer: Father, I praise You! I thank You for a new day. I will not sit in Your seat today. I will let You be God. I will not stress or worry about it. The only One that can do something about it, the only One that can touch them, the only One that can open the door for me, is You. So I decide to rest and put it in Your mighty hands. I receive Your peace and assurance because I know the good God that I serve. You will do what you say you will do. Help my brothers to do the same. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Psalm 115, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, 1 Peter 5:7

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬, NKJV‬‬.

Pray this prayer with me: Father, I give You all the praise, honor, and glory. I pray for a heart and mind focused on You. Help me focus and seize this season. Thank You, Father, for more focus on Your word and keeping my mind on Jesus. More focus on abiding in a strong relationship with You. A focus on what You are speaking right now. Great focus on being led by Your Spirit. Set my eyes on anything that is not like You and remove it from my heart. I repent before You of anything that I allowed to have a hold on me last year, and I declare it will not this year. No sin will have a hold on me except You. Nothing will be exalted above You. I will seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and all things will be added to me. I walk in Your plans for me. I’m not leaning into giving my time toward what will not benefit me. Help me not to entertain any relationships that don’t benefit my walk with you. I declare I am focused. I am a man ready to run my race strong. By Your grace, I will not only run but also obtain Your bountiful will for my life. I receive Your great peace, joy, and strength today. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Isaiah 40:31, Matthew 6:33, 1 John 1:9

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

Ask, seek, and knock. Ask God about your year. Seek the Lord about your year. Knock on the doors in prayer about this year. If there is any other time to ask, seek, and knock about your year, it is now. There is more of His Spirit you need. You need more courage to execute His will this year. There are things that you don’t know that He will reveal to you about His will for your life. There are things to pursue and things not to pursue. New things He will place on your heart as He answers you, even what you didn’t consider that He wants to steer your life into. As you seek him, there will be great wisdom He provides. If He tells you to fast, do it. The Lord wants you to have a smooth year. Focus in and ask, seek, knock.

Prayer: Father, I give You all the praise and glory. I thank You that when I ask, seek, and knock, You always answer. You open doors. You always bless me to find exactly what I need. Do it for me this year, God. Open my eyes and reveal to me Your plans, your desires, your way for my life this year. I set myself to not only hear you, but by Your grace, I will obey you. I asked for more leading by Your Spirit to guide me into what You have for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Matthew 7:7-11, Psalm 35:13

“John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” Luke‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬, NKJV‬‬.

When Jesus rose from the dead and returned to heaven, He left, but He didn’t leave His disciples alone. The first thing He did was give them the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8 & 2:1-4). He gave them fire. The first thing God says He wants you to know to begin this year is that you have the Holy Ghost. You have fire. I declare the fire of the Holy Spirit be upon you. Fire to run. Fire for focus. Fire for dominion. Fire for praise! Fire that sets you free and sets your course for this new year. Fire to burn in the midst of any adversity. In this year of more, receive more fire for you.

Prayer: Father, thank You for this year of more and Your way. By the Holy Spirit, I receive fire! More fire than I have ever experienced. I can’t do anything without Your Spirit. May Your fire fill me, change me, change my praise, and set me on fire to run for You. Bless those who need Your Spirit, who need fire, to receive the baptism of Your Spirit today and change their lives and set the course of their year. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ – “So he answered and said to me: ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts”.

“You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance” Psalm 65:11, NKJV.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.” John 21:5-6, NKJV.

Each year, the Lord gives me a word for the year that blesses my family and our ministries. Without fail, that word has come to pass. Last year was a year from old to new and real desires. We want to share the word of the year for 2026, and we pray it will strengthen you and bless you and your family.

This will be a year of more and the year of His way. More victory. More work for the kingdom. More than before. I am pouring out My Spirit upon all flesh for the more. More souls into the kingdom. More baptized into Christ. More spreading of the revival that you have waited for that now is. I will continue to satisfy your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed as the eagle. More rest for your soul because you have completely trusted in Me. More open doors. More songs. More opportunities. More favor. More wisdom. More grace. More honey, for you will see more and more that I am sweeter than the honeycomb. People will pass by and stop to know how is this happening in your life, and you will say it is My God. He is the more. He is more than enough.

As you give to Me more than you’ve ever given, you will experience more of Me than you ever have. More of My love made known to you and others. I am present to set you free. Leave all your idols and come to Me. Less will become more. Simplicity will become your bread, and I am your Bread of Life. More will be given to you than you expect. You will ask for one, and you will receive three.

This is the year of My way. Life won’t be hard because you will choose My way. You will say He is God and I am not. You will say God knows what is best, and I do not. You will stop fighting My current. You will say yes to My will. You will say yes to My way. It will be a year of humbling, not only to what you can’t do without Me, but also what you can do with Me. You will be strong and courageous. You will agree with Me. Your agreement will be final. This will be the last time you say what you can’t do. You will be who I called you to be. You will break out because you agree. You will step out because you agree. You will not concede because you agree. You will not settle because you agree. You will endure because you agree. You will say God’s way. No more my way. God’s way”, says the Spirit of the Lord.

“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” Matthew 21:22, NKJV.

Pray this today with me: Father, I pray that You send men what they are in need of all over the world. Send a solution their way, God! I pray that men step into their rightful place in their relationship with You, in their church, and in their homes. I pray for the core of who they are and their purpose. They are sons of God, mighty to win and not get weary in well doing. Breathe life into their lives and shine Your light of hope in every dark place right now! Send hope their way!

I come against principalities and schemes to distract men from the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news of an abundant life awaiting them. Remove any torment and confusion of the mind. Send freedom of the mind, and we say, “Peace Now” In Jesus’ name! I come against the secret battles that attack their faith! Send a word in season their way! Help them hear You. I declare men are strong and courageous!

Send a spirit of unity among all godly men and leadership! Help men in jail and send waves of encouragement, protection, peace, and strength their way! Send healing to the gang member! Send a word that it’s not over their way! For the men without jobs, send a great job their way! Give men a joy in living right! Help us win the lost with Your love. Send strength to men in between making a decision to surrender to You, in between disposing of their pornography, in between living for money, send a resolve their way to trust You and do it! Send a miracle their way! Thank You that everything we ask You to send, they receive, I receive! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Read: 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Ephesians 1:15-17

“But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble’” James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬, NKJV‬‬.

One of the greatest acts of humility is when you can open up to someone and ask them can they pray for you. You open up and say I need to hear God’s will in the year to come. You open up and say this where I am. I am not covering it up. I am not disguising it. I have an area in my life that has been stagnant for a long time. To be honest, I am weak right now. I need help. I am in need of prayer.

An amazing God has surrounded you with some amazing people who have been placed in your life for a godly reason. There’s nothing you’re experiencing that another man hasn’t gone through, and can help you through it. Don’t allow your manhood or shame to keep you from being transparent. The more humble we are, the more grace we will receive. If you would gladly pray for others, open up and allow someone to gladly pray for you.

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your word. Thank You for placing other people in my life that You can use to pray for me. Help me not to be prideful or ashamed, but open up to someone and allow them to pray for me. As I do, let Your grace pour out into my life, and I thank You for giving me victory, wisdom, and the provision that I need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’…” Isaiah 30:21, ESV.

God doesn’t have to speak to us, but He does. Thank Him for speaking. He blesses us with encouragement, even in unexpected moments. He speaks to us about the challenges we face. He tells us which way to turn. The Lord shares hidden things with us and opens our eyes to Who He is and His will. He even shows us things to come (John 16:13).

As you enter into a new year, know that the Father isn’t quiet about you. He won’t be silent about where He desires to take you and do in you. Whether directly to your heart or through His word, He is speaking to you even now about His will for your life. Set yourself to listen and receive what He has to say.

Prayer: Father, I love You and give You praise for a new day. Thank You for having a relationship with Jesus and for being a God Who speaks. As I go into a new year, help me to set myself in a place to hear You. If you want me to fast, I will do it, Lord. You won’t be silent, but You will reveal, open my eyes, and I will see Your will for my life. Hallelujah! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: 1 Samuel 3:10-11, Job 33:14-17, Psalm 119:105, Jeremiah 33:3

“Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’…Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:10-11 & 13, NKJV.

The purity in this season, the love in this season, is because of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He puts life in perspective, and we realize this is what we were truly created for. It’s what God truly intended with His plan for man.

Since it is God’s plan, let it be yours also. Plan to only honor the Lord. Celebrate and rejoice over His birth. The only birth that changed the world. The only birth that changed you. Enjoy the Lord, your family, and those dear to you. Settle your heart on His peace and joy. Settle your heart on being thankful for what you have and who you have. Treasure these moments. Merry Christmas!

Prayer: Father, thank You for giving us Your Son. Jesus, You are the reason for the season. You are the reason for our salvation and all that we have. Bless those in need, even if they are missing someone right now, with comfort, joy, and peace found in Christ. Help us to always be thankful for You. We treasure these moments. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 2:8-20, Romans 5:10-11

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” Psalm 23:1, NKJV.

I remember when I first met the Lord, I would simply sit down at the side of my bed and listen to worship music, and just spend time with the Lord. Spend time in His presence. One of my favorite songs was “Keeping My Mind” by Fred Hammond. It was about every day, every new morning, I was going to keep my mind on Jesus. One particular verse in the song said “You have proven to be all that I need”. I didn’t know a lot. I had needs, I had things I was facing, but as I came before Him, He would meet every need I had.

The Lord knows you have needs, but let the Lord be Who you come to with them. Simply sit with Jesus, and find that He is enough. Find the sufficiency of the Shepherd. A simple place. And be careful. Anxiety and our own works can indicate we’re making life complicated and are lacking closeness with the Lord. Return to simplicity. The Lord will prove to be all you need.

Prayer: Father, You know my needs, but I come to You just to spend time with You. I worship You. You are my first love, my joy, and my peace. You are the answer to everything I face. You have proven to be all that I need. I simply abide in You. I sit in Your presence. I return to a simple place, You Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Matthew 11:28-29, Psalm 16:11, 2 Corinthians 3:11

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising” Isaiah 60:1-3, NKJV.

“My glory you will see. I will not give My glory to another. All the hurt and all the pain weren’t for any reason. My glory you will see. I will not give you to another. Your enemy cannot have you. You are mine, and I am yours. You are My son. And you will see My faithfulness and My goodness for all your days. I will bring you to a place of rest and peace. You will not always struggle or be in despair. I will shape you in the fire, and My glory will rise upon you. And you will say, The glory of God is on my life. I’ve been through it, but He brought me through it. I am His”, says the Lord.

Study: Psalm 23, Isaiah 42:8, John 11:39-40, Acts 21:11

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19, NKJV.

“You will not worry. You will not fret because you have decided to believe that I am not done yet. You will not fall into anxiety. You will stand this time. You have decided to believe Me. You have decided to trust Me. It will come, but you will not be overcome. You will overcome it instead. You have received the truth that I am the God Who does not fail, and I change not. This is the time to agree with My word. This is the time to agree with My promises. I am not done yet”, says the Lord.

Study: Joshua 21:45, Isaiah 46:10

“But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come” Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬, NKJV‬‬.

It may be in the distance, but do you see it? Do you see it getting closer and closer to you? It’s the rescue of God coming. It’s the favor of God coming. It’s the goodness of God coming. There’s a light shining before you that’s getting brighter and brighter, confirming that change is coming. Healing is coming. Joy is coming. Like a lighthouse for ships in the distance, God says I’m your Lighthouse, and you know by His Spirit something good is happening in you and for you. See His hand already moving, already shifting, already lining His plans up for you. You may not have thought you would make it, but you’re closing in on it. Don’t give in now. As you continue to seek Him humbly, He’s navigating you into your purpose and what He promised you.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord. I perceive Your will and what You are bringing to pass. I see it, Father. I see what You are doing in me, Father. It’s coming. Help me hold on. Help me to remain obedient and humble towards You. Let Your grace abound toward me today. Navigate me into Your promise. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Mark 4:26-29, Hebrews 6:12, Acts 28:26

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” Isaiah 53:5, NKJV.

Father, we pray for our brother and his fight against cancer. I declare over Your word over him, Isaiah 53:5, and by Jesus’ stripes he is healed. Bring him through all manner of therapy and treatment. Give him and his family strength, courage, and a constant outpour of comfort. Remove all pain, catch their tears, and we thank You for Your grace taking over and carrying him to do what he can’t do himself. You are his strong God. Fill that hospital, their home, with Your presence. Fill him to the overflow Holy Spirit, and we declare the joy of the Lord is his abundant strength. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen!

Study: Psalm 30:5 & 107:20, Matthew 8:8

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good (encouraging) word makes it glad” Proverbs‬ ‭12:25‬, Amplified.

In these times, many are going through a lot, and we don’t know the half of their challenges. So, when you take a moment to lift them up with something God reveals to you about them and their victory, it is very impactful. At the right moment, they are comforted and strengthened because God used you to give them a good, encouraging word.

You didn’t know it, but they needed that.

Pursue not to withhold your good word of encouragement. It’s inspiring when you decide to give out what you feel like you need because you may be going through the fire too. You feel like you’re in the lion’s den, too. Yet, you’ll drink from the same cup of encouragement you gave to someone else. You’ll see God shut the lion’s mouth in your own life as you open up yours. Jesus the Lion of Judah lives in you, and when you let Him speak, His words are so powerful, so full of life, they will change you and them at the same time. As the Lord leads you, yield to what He directs you to say, even to a stranger. That word may be the difference maker in a brother’s life.

Prayer: Father, thank You! People are going through a lot, and they need You. Help me to let You speak through me to help someone in the midst of what they’re going through. I would want someone to do the same for me. It will be exactly what they needed and will encourage them to go on. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John‬ ‭6:63)

“In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” John 4:31 & 34, NKJV.

Jesus was hungry for the will of God and to finish his work, which he deemed more vital than food itself. It was his meat. His focus was upon the will of God being completed in His life.

I believe you are hungry to finish too. I believe the will of God is your highest priority. You are determined not only to start but to cross the finish line before you. Do not be satisfied with just knowing God’s will, but also finishing the work that He has given you.

As this year comes to a close, let it continue to drive you and encourage you. Be careful of all distractions. May the blessing and reward of your assignment keep you excited. Nothing is going to satisfy you like walking out His will for your life.

Prayer: Father, thank You for choosing me and giving me purpose. I am honored and humbled that You have called me. My meat is to do Your will. I declare I have a great hunger to not only start but to finish strong. Help me stay focused, hear Your voice right now, and obey whatever You say. I thank You for the grace, joy, and courage to finish. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Study: Acts 20:24, Hebrews 12:1-2

“He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler” Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬, NKJV‬‬.

Pray this with me: Father, I give You all the glory and praise. Swoop in and help me. Swoop in with strength. Swoop in with peace. Swoop in with Your power and authority that reminds me of Whose I am and who I am. Swoop in with truth. Remind me of the victory I have through Jesus. Step into where I am right now with order. You are my very present help, and You always cause me to rise above all circumstances. Thank you that Your Spirit is upon me and quickens me with life. You uphold me with Your righteous hand. I can press on. Hallelujah! My life is yours, Father. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Study: Psalm 91 & 46:1, Philippians 4:13-14

“And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan” Luke 17:15, NKJV.

“This was the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes” Psalm 118:23, NKJV.

I can’t help but be like the one leper. He was healed of what he couldn’t heal himself of. It changed his life. As you look back over this year. As you look back over your marriage, your family, your challenges, and your life. Jesus changed everything. When you consider all the tough moments the arm of God pulled you out of. Come back, fall at the feet of Jesus unashamed and thank Him.

You may not have been healed like the leper, but the Lord has done great things for you. This year alone, you can’t thank God enough. Carry your thanksgiving to God wherever you go, whoever you laugh and eat with today. Tell of His goodness and unconditional love. The Lord has done marvelous things in our eyes.

Prayer: Father, You are holy, and there’s none like You. When I consider Your Son Jesus dying for me, Your hand over my whole life and every blessing, I can’t help but come back and greatly thank You. You alone are worthy and due. May everyone that You’ve given breath to today, come back and give You praise. Bless us, even those missing their loved ones who are no longer here, with joy and gladness with their families today. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
