Start the year with a stronger centre than any resolution: know who you are and live from it. We open 2026 by returning to a foundational promise from John 1:12—those who receive Jesus are born of God—and explore how that identity reshapes prayer, service, and resilience. Instead of striving for approval, we move with assurance because God is our source, our Father, and our guide.

We walk through a practical pattern for bold prayer rooted in Matthew 7:7, turning ask, seek, knock into a daily rhythm that builds expectation and memory with God. From there, we shift into service that reflects adoption rather than anxiety: show up with your gifts, lead with humility, and trust the Spirit’s power to work through ordinary moments. Whether you are guiding a team or caring for your home, you carry the authority of a child of God, equipped to serve at any level and in every space.

Opposition will come, but it does not get the final say. We speak to spiritual pushback with a confident declaration: more than conquerors, no weapon formed will prosper, and the enemy’s plans scatter before a steady, faith-filled life. This is not hype; it is a settled conviction that identity precedes victory. You leave with simple declarations to anchor your year, practical steps to deepen prayer, and a vision for service that shines where you stand.

Blessing The New Year

SPEAKER_00

We are in a new year and I say God bless you big time in this new year 2026. I want to thank God for opening the gates of the year 2026 and allowing me and you to be a part of this year. There is um uh a great work he's choosing to do in this year, especially in refreshing our connection with the Father, our connection with the Father, and Jesus uh Jesus is the one who made our connection with our Heavenly Father possible. In John chapter 1, uh verse 12, the Bible says, Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave them the right to become children of God, children born of not of natural descent, nor of human decision, or a husband's will, but born of God. And I I want to to say to you that uh you are a child of God, you are a child of God, and uh this year I want you to celebrate the fact that you are a child of God, a child of God, not uh born out of human will or natural descent or the decision of a husband, but born of God, a child of God, born of God. Celebrate the fact that you are a child of God, and this is to say, then God is your source, God is your source because you're a child of God, and uh, this year, as you come to God in prayer, uh come with confidence, come excited because you're coming uh to your father's house and you are praying in the name of Jesus. You are a child of God. Come to God, believing that He will give you everything that you ask. You know, Matthew 7 7 says, Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be open unto you. Yeah? For whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, whoever knocks the door shall be open unto him. You have the right, because you are a child of God, to pray by faith, to pray boldly and trust God for provision. But number two, you are a child of God. Serve like a child of God. As you go out, know this year that God is with you, and uh, in the name of Jesus, you can serve at any level and also at every level. The power of God is granted to the children of God, and so everywhere you go as you minister, the works of the sons and daughters of God shall manifest this year. Uh stand like a child of God and do not apologize as you go out serving and ministering because you are a child of God. The the enemy will whisper all kinds of things, but I want you to believe that as a child of God you are victorious. Number three, I want to say you are a child of God. For that reason, the enemy will not be able to put you down. This year 2026, I declare the enemy will not be able to put you down. You are more than a conqueror, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, I declare. And that the enemy will come in one direction and be scattered in seven directions. Why? Because you are a child of God, born through the Spirit of God, from the root of the persona of God, and therefore everywhere you go, you're going to be victorious. And so this year I pray that you'll celebrate that connection that you have with the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that you'll boldly go everywhere saying, I am a child of God, and I know it, not out of the will of man, but out of the decision of God. And may the grace of God flow in your life, may the power of God through uh flow through you as you serve as a child of God. God bless you this year more than you've ever imagined. Amen.
