Let me tell you why writing and books are especially important right now. One year ago, more Bibles were sold than ever before. This means there are people hungry for Jesus even though the world will tell you otherwise. And all those people who are coming back to the faith are looking for real people who have walked this path. The world says people don’t read anymore; but the metrics say otherwise.

It is time to take off your grave clothes. In John 11, Lazarus came out of the tomb alive, but still wrapped in what had marked his death. In the same way, many believers have survived a wilderness season, but God is not calling them to keep wearing the garments of grief, shame, fear or survival. Jesus is calling His people out of the tomb, unwrapping what once bound them and releasing them into resurrection life, divine realignment and a new season of freedom in Christ.

Many believers read the story of Elijah under the broom tree in 1 Kings 19 and immediately recognize the signs of emotional exhaustion, spiritual burnout and deep discouragement. After calling down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel, Elijah fled into the wilderness overwhelmed, fatigued and emotionally depleted. Yet God did not shame Elijah in his exhaustion. Instead, the Lord met his physical needs first, allowing him to rest before strengthening him for the journey ahead.Sometimes even the most faithful servants of God reach moments where their mind, body and spirit need restoration before stepping into the next assignment.

After a long winter, the sun always rises. In 1969, George Harrison wrote the words “Here Comes the Sun” during a difficult season in his life. What he may not have realized is that those words echo a promise spoken by God thousands of years earlier. In Malachi 4:2, the Lord declares, “The Sun of righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.” Did the woman with the issue of blood correctly interpret this scripture? I believe so.

When God spoke of a land flowing with milk and honey, He was not promising survival alone. He was promising goodness, intention, and joy. Honey was never required to stay alive, it was discovered along the way, a sign that God delights in satisfying His people, not merely sustaining them.

As we step into 2026, many are being transitioned out of survival mode and into a season where sweetness appears alongside obedience. This is not indulgence, it is alignment. God is restoring joy, clarity, and delight, often from places that once felt hard or barren. The honey may surprise you, but when you find it, you will know it came from the Lord.

In 2 Kings 6:1–7, a simple, almost overlooked miracle takes place. As the company of prophets worked to build a larger meeting place, one man’s borrowed ax head flew off and sank into the Jordan River. This moment is more than an ancient story. It’s a prophetic picture of what God is doing right now in His people. The fallen ax head represents the areas of our lives and callings that have lost their sharpness.

Many of God’s people are standing at a critical crossroads, and the Father is waiting for you to move. The green light has already been given. The Lord is saying, “Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Stop waiting for fear to leave. Step out, because I am already in the field waiting for you.” This is a season of action.

“Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” —Ecclesiastes 11:4

Sometimes the Lord meets us right on our level, not because He lowers Himself, but because He wants us to know He is not unreachable. Jesus comes close. He stands before you until your eyes meet His. He does not shout from the distance of Heaven. He bends low so that you know you are not forgotten.

That’s what the “level place” in Luke 6 represents. It’s the space where divinity meets humanity, where the Savior steps into our ordinary moments to remind us that His love is personal.

When the wine ran out at Cana, the servants had a choice: stop halfway or keep filling the jars. They chose to keep going, pouring again and again until the vessels were full. That’s when Jesus stepped in and turned water into wine. The same principle applies to our lives today. What feels like repetition, weariness, or delay may actually be the very place where God is preparing to move. The Hebrew year 5786, which overlaps with 2026, carries a prophetic call: do it again.

In Hebrew Year 5786, the Lord is declaring that the doubly rejected will rise. Just as the leper who returned to Jesus received wholeness, God is restoring dignity, breaking shame, and releasing double portion where rejection once tried to define you.

August and September are what I call the "power months" on God's prophetic calendar.  They are the weeks when the Lord often brings seasons to completion and ushers in divine turnarounds before the arrival of the new Hebrew year. This year, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on September 22-24, marking the start of 5786. It's a time of new beginnings, fresh assignments, and deeper encounters with the Lord.

“The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.” | 2 Timothy 2:6

In Mark 8:22–26, Jesus heals a blind man in a way that stands out from His other miracles. When Jesus arrived in Bethsaida, a place marked by spiritual apathy and hardened hearts, some people brought a blind man to Him and pleaded for healing. Instead of performing the miracle on the spot, Jesus took the man by the hand and led him away from the village.

When you step out and use what God places in your hands, things begin to shift. In Matthew 25, the ones who put their talents to work saw an increase. The one who hid his talents did not. The message is clear: faithfulness leads to fruitfulness.

The Lord is saying: “I am not silent. I am near. I have not passed over you. And just like the rain tenderizes the earth, you are ready for the new thing I am about to do. God is releasing long-awaited promises in this hour. You must rise up with the spirit of Caleb and Joshua and take the land. Do not fear the giants; do not pay attention to who is already there. God has ordained you for this moment.”

The Lord gave me a beautiful word this morning to stir many of you awake who might be in a slumber. For some of you, the spiritual warfare from this past season tried to take you out – however, God’s mercies are made new every morning. You have survived. The tide is turning. Our King is bringing a calming presence to your life. 

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord says that many of His children are stepping into a season of their Kingdom inheritance. The land and territory are already there for the taking, but you must step into what God has for you. Beloved, you are pregnant with purpose, and it’s time to partake of the blessing with King Jesus. (Joshua 18:2-3)

God isn’t asking for perfection; He’s asking for obedience. He’s looking for those who are willing to say YES, even when it’s scary, even when it costs something.

If you’ve been through the fire, I want to encourage you: prepare for the rain of God’s blessings, provision, and restoration.

These people will shake the religious status quo; they will turn the world upside down even in unexpected places.
