The Year 2026 will be known as “A YEAR OF DESTINY”.

Many things will be fulfilled and brought to completion this year.
Many changes and “shifts” will take place. Things that people have spent many years praying and working for will come to pass this year. I see many leaders in the Kingdom coming into the fullness of their God-given ministry offices. These men and women will walk in the fulness of Kingdom authority like they have never walked in before.
They will demonstrate an amazing boldness, confidence, and courage like never before.
The results of this will be an abundance of fruit for the Kingdom of God. Many leaders and believers have embraced the process and will now be richly rewarded.

Many leaders and believers have been busy doing many things trying to “find” their ultimate calling. These leaders will “find” it this year. There will be an “inner knowing/sensing” concerning the calling and they will say “this is it”. This will bring an overwhelming sense of peace and satisfaction. So many believers have been living in “stress” and “pressure” concerning their true purpose in life. Many have tried to “ignore” that inner desire for the perfect will of God. Many have chosen the way of the world… in just trying to survive, make a living, and do the acceptable social thing. This year things are going to be different.

Don’t be surprised when things suddenly come to an end this year. Many programs and projects will come to completion this year. Many new things will be born. 2026 will be a “birthing year”.

Many believers are going to break out of the cage of fear. Since 2020 there has been a major “spirit of fear” released in the nations. People have been afraid of persecution and being “silenced” by others. Fear of being “branded” as something socially unacceptable has paralyzed people. This spirit will not control anymore. A new boldness and confidence is coming upon the believers this year.

God-consciousness is rising up in the nations. People will begin to consider God’s way and His opinion over socially acceptable ideas and ideologies this year. With this, there is going to be a “toppling” of governments. We will see nations “flip” like a pyramid being turned upside down. Where the leader was at the top and the people at the bottom… the pyramid will flip and the people will be on the top and the leader on the bottom.

We will see regime changes in world governments. Leaders who have been “entrenched” for years will be “uprooted” this year. Many who thought that they were “untouchable” will be ousted and prosecuted as corruption continues to be revealed. Watch for “surprise alliances” to surface this year. Leaders who were once considered “foes” will become “friends”. This will cause a great stirring internationally and globally particularly in the realms of “oil” and “finance”.

Many leaders are starting to hit the “panic button” because they know that they are going to be forced to make quick decisions. Many leaders who have been trying to “wait things out” and “bide their time” will be forced to make decisions this year. There is coming a Divine Pressure on them. The people have been praying and God is about to move on those prayers.
He will cause His new breed of leaders to rise up. This will be evident in the nations and in the Kingdom/Church. Many will rise from obscurity, many will rise from the ashes.
Many leaders in the church who have fallen and been disgraced will be restored and renewed. They have seen the error of their ways and will return with a “holy vengeance”. The “fear of the Lord” will come alive in them. They will live and minister with a “holy passion” because they have seen the Lord. This “combination” of new leaders and restored leaders will be a catalyst to bring the desperately needed change to the church. Many leaders have given in to the desires of the people and have become “people ruled” ministries. This new combination will begin to shine the light on the people concerning “God Ruled” and “Presence Oriented” ministries/churches.

People are crying out for substance, presence, and truth… not empty religious displays. 2026 will be a year of “shifting” in the church. Current trends will be exposed as lifeless efforts to attract people. A new generation is rising with a pursuit of genuine relationships with God and others. The theme of this new leadership will be “Keep It Real”.

2026 is another year of rebuilding (2025-2028 Rebuilding Years).
We will see the restoration of the years of decline. We will see the shift of financial wealth. We will see the restoration of economies.

Be encouraged, receive this word, agree with this word, confess this word, and walk in it this year.
