Go Big in 2026 - Go With Jesus - Your Best Ally!

Ready to go bigger—but not alone? We explore what it really takes to step into a thriving 2026 with clarity, courage, and a strategy anchored in Christ. This conversation blends heart work and hard strategy, drawing on Luke 5 to show how the difference between empty nets and overflow often comes down to who leads and how we obey. We challenge the myth of self-made success, call out half-hearted effort, and map a practical path for aligning motive, method, and momentum with God’s promises.

We get specific about mindset: cutting negative loops, closing the door on past failures, and building a thought life strong enough to carry real growth. You’ll hear how Scripture becomes a daily operating system—Philippians 4:8 for focused attention, 2 Timothy 1:7 for courage and discipline, Romans 12:2 for a renewed mind, and John 15 for staying connected to the true Source of fruit. If you’re planning launches, building teams, or sharpening operations, we’ll show you how to invite God into the blueprint—finance, legal, security, and beyond—so your systems are sized for the blessing you’re seeking.

We also speak plainly about the resistance you’ll face, seen and unseen, and how Ephesians 6 reframes the real battleground as spiritual. The goal isn’t hype; it’s holy confidence—work heartily, prosper with integrity, and protect what’s entrusted to you. When obedience meets preparation, overflow follows. If you’re ready to trade hustle-only tactics for faith-led execution, this is your playbook to go big, go prepared, and go with Jesus at the lead.

Welcome And Theme: Go Big

Dina LaFargue Augustin 0:00

Greetings and welcome to the drift line where love and healing will flow into your soul. Tune in and take a listen. Come along this journey, allowing love and truth to permeate your entire being. Hopefully, the message shared this week will touch your heart, allowing you to move closer to your healing, making you more self-aware, and empowering you for your daily life, enabling you to live more prosperously and successfully. My message today is go big. Go big in 2026. My desire is that each and every one of us come into the realization that if we want to optimize our lives, if we want more out of life, if we want to overcome the negative and live in prosperity, we must go big. We must have knowledge of Christ. We must partner with Christ. We must allow Him to take the lead and take the reins of our lives. Go big, go with the name that is above every name, Jesus Christ. So go for it. Live your life in the more and not the less. Go big or don't go at all. Give it your best shot. Yes, give it your all. Put your best foot forward. It is 2026. And now is the time. Now is the time to navigate with the navigator and to not go it alone. The old has passed, the old is gone away, and the new year is here. Although some things may seem to linger, I want us to learn how to cut the past out and look forward to the new. Let's be intentional and do bigger and better than ever before. So we can and should chase after our dreams and we should dream big, and some of us don't, but we can and should know that without a doubt, believing we can do whatever we put our minds to, we can

Partnering With Christ Over Self-Reliance

Dina LaFargue Augustin 2:24

have success. Positive thinking is powerful. Our minds must cooperate with our desires. We must stop the negative thoughts. We must cut them quickly in order to move forward prosperously. In other words, we are not to let our minds play tricks on us by slipping into darkness, by speaking negativity into our souls, by lingering on past failures, or on past bad experiences, or on negative, perhaps toxic, and unproductive relationships. We must be intentional. We cannot afford to shortchange ourselves by half stepping or halfway trying or not believing. Be all in. Be dedicated to winning and believing and declaring the positive, the good, the possible that might seem impossible. You know, with God all things are possible, and I want us to set our minds to his word. Hence I say go big or not at all. And in saying that, I say go Jesus. Go for the more and not the less. Fight for your future, but do not go it alone. Do not deceive yourself into believing you can conquer and overcome anything in your own might. No, we are not to do that. If we are going to go big, if we want more, we need to believe in the more and the one that can provide the more. So we are not to deceive ourselves into believing we can conquer and overcome anything on our own. We cannot, you cannot. We cannot and should not think we are here alone or are created to go it alone. We are not. Do not launch a business or an endeavor in 2026 without the one who wrote your destiny and authored your life. It's time to put your best foot forward, and that can only be accomplished with the right attitude and the right partner, the perfect mentor and the perfect strategist, the one who says he will walk before you and be your shield and your rear guard. We must realize that there is no power greater, no better helper, no bigger victor than Christ. He is the way to navigate and own 2026. There is no bigger victory than to live for and in Christ. I'm going to share an historical account from

Luke 5: From Toil To Overflow

Dina LaFargue Augustin 5:21

the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 5, which supports my position. It explains an encounter Jesus had with his new found disciples. It is a perfect example of toiling and striving alone as compared to recognizing that with God we can accomplish great things and that he is worthy to be followed, trusted, and obeyed. Luke chapter 5 reads, starting in verse 4. Now when he Jesus had left speaking to the crowds, he said to Simon, who is Simon Peter, Launch out into the deep and let your nets down for a drought. And Simon answered, saying unto him, Master, we have toiled all night and have taken nothing. Nevertheless, at your word I will let down the net. And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net broke, and they beckoned unto their partners which were in the other ship that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down on Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I'm a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished at all that were with him, and the draught or the humongous quantity of fishes they had taken. BibleTools.org explains this brief encounter like this. It says, Toiling for long hours trying to catch fish, yet the men without any results were especially exhausted and discouraged. Peter points out the obvious to Jesus, but out of respect adds, At your word I will let down the net. Note that Jesus' command is for Peter to let down his nets, a plural. Yet Peter replied with net, a singular. Peter's obedience was half-hearted, not completely understanding God's power in Jesus. Peter probably figured the result would be the same as his earlier lack of success, and this unbelieving attitude exposes itself in poor quality obedience, which is no obedience at all. At this early stage, Peter is still learning about the power of the Creator to command his creation. Luke 5, verses 4 through 11 says, Jesus takes the opportunity of this miracle to call his disciples into a teaching moment, a teacher-student relationship with him. He figuratively catches Peter in his net before commanding him to catch men for the kingdom of God. Immediately, Peter, Andrew, James, and John leave their boats and nets behind and follow Jesus. They are now understanding that Jesus is more capable of supplying their every need. He is more than enough. Therefore, we are to apply this lesson in our own lives. When Christ speaks, it is always about obedience to God's way of life, to the way of doing things, to the way of thinking. And in this case, Jesus' teaching affected the disciples' livelihoods, worship, and work form major parts of our lives. And in both, we must consistently maintain righteousness and do it for God. The article goes on to say, had Peter failed to obey Christ's command, he would have failed to experience both the miracle and the resulting blessings. You see, no one serves God without being compensated for his service. And when we serve, sacrifice, testify, or stand for him, he will suitably reward our efforts. When God asks us to invest our time, effort, talent, or anything else, we must not re resent the opportunity. No one pays dividends on an investment as abundantly as God does. Meaning we can't beat God at being good. We can't beat God at being more productive or more prosperous. His word says, good measure, pressed down and running over will be put into our bosoms. And that comes from

Obedience, Reward, And Preparedness

Dina LaFargue Augustin 10:20

Luke chapter 6, verse 38. Therefore, my listeners, my sisters and brothers, it is time to engage in the game with our big guns drawn. We are to come armed for the battle. We are to come armed for the victories that are ordained to be. We are to come to win. We are to live to win. We are to work to win. We are to have faith for the win. So let's not show up ill-equipped for the fight. Anything we want to accomplish or do comes with a battle and some form of resistance at some level. This is knowledge and this is truth. Remember, Simon and his fishing partners, they were fishmen by trade and had one night of complete failure until Jesus showed up. They struggle all night and caught nothing. This is a reminder that challenges will arise, roadblocks will show up unexpectedly, support may wane when we had it, people may disappear or betray us. People might cheat us or deceive us. People might scam us and rip us off. Therefore, we must never ever go it alone. Don't show up to the forum without backup. Don't wake up and go about your day without backup. Don't attempt without your right-hand man, Christ, at your side, actually at your lead. With the direction and the promptings of Jesus, those disciples caught the biggest catch of their lives to the overflow. They listened, they obeyed the instructions, and they reaped greatly. So why show up without them? Why attempt to do anything in our own might? My advice is don't show up without the tools necessary for the task at hand. Don't enter into 2026 without the proper uniform, gear, knowledge, or skills and backup to get the job done and won. 2 Corinthians chapter 3, verse 5 says, not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. Therefore, anything that exists, anything good that is accomplished is done by the hand of God. Period. Even if God is not recognized in our lives or acknowledged, there is no power we can have or can put forth without God. That is pure truth, because God is the engine of everything living. He is the engine and the power behind everything that exists. Galatians chapter 6, verse 3 says, For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. So let us not be deceived in 2026. Let us not go on believing that we can do all things unto ourselves or that we don't need a God. Let us not believe that believing in God is a crutch for the weak. If you are going to be about the business, if you are going to do business, you need the right connections. My last podcast was about being connected, how to network and to network with the Lord. So do you have the right connection and the right team behind you? Do you have the best attorney to protect your dealings? Do you have an accountant to balance your books? Do you have the best operations manager to keep everything operational and efficient? Do you have the fiercest security team in place? Because all people of value need protection. Pay attention to what I just said. All people of value need protection. Do you have your best human resource manager to protect your assets, to help you manage your partners and those who work with you or for you or beside you? To protect your business endeavors from all harm and injury and lawsuits? Do

Spiritual Warfare And The Battle Of The Mind

Dina LaFargue Augustin 14:45

you have the proper certified financial manager and accountant to increase your cash assets and improve your cash flow? Well, I say Jesus is all of that. And it's written in the Word. Proverbs 16, verse 3 says, Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. So in all facets of your life, Jesus should be involved. Ask him for the best operational plan. Ask him for the best financial strategies. Ask his angels to guard your rear guard and all your dealings and wherever you go. Ask him to go before you. Ask for the right destiny helpers to come your way, to give you guidance. He will do that for you. He exists for that. Philippians chapter 2, verse 13 says, For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. So in setting forth your efforts, in getting to work, in starting your day, start it with him and acknowledge the fullness of God, the immensity of God, the depth of God, and all areas of his character and his beingness and what he has for us. Contemplate his promises and his directives on how to live our lives. Now, the most common of questions that cause people to doubt the existence of God, that cause them to deny God or not include God in their lives, is the condition of the world. We look at the world and we say, how could there be a God? Why do we need God? Because the world is jacked up. We contemplate our difficulties, the tragedies, the wars, the hunger, the strife, and the violence that exists. And we question, how could there be a God when the world is so corrupt? We question why the world is so corrupt and why it is so evil, denying that we are even our own worst enemies and that it's because of us that the world is like it is. We in our arrogance either blame God for everything or deny that he even exists, yet still deny that it's our fault, that anything is wrong. The more we disconnect, the more havoc we allow. In our turning away from God, we allow the voices of darkness to delude us and to lead us astray. To put it bluntly, we are under a spell. We have been lulled to sleep. For the believer struggling with their faith, we must realize we cannot believe or exist without realizing, too, that if there is a God, there's also an enemy of our soul that seeks to destroy us and anything worthy in our lives. Meaning, for those that attempt to have faith, that attempt to believe, we cannot be one-sided. If we're to believe in a God, we've got to acknowledge that there's an enemy of our soul, that Satan exists, to collaborate with us, because he really has no power unless we give it to him. So if God is a spirit, then we must believe in the reality of the spirit realm and the existence of other spiritual beings, good or evil. If God is good, then who is responsible for the bad? Well, the answer is us. Free will. We choose. And in choosing, any evil that exists will find us. Because the purpose of any evil being is to kill, steal, and destroy our lives. Read the word for yourself. We must study and know in order to live more successfully and prosperously. The Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 10 says, The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. But I have come

Renewing Thoughts With Scripture

Dina LaFargue Augustin 19:10

that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly. You see that verse says the thief comes to steal and to kill and to destroy, but he cannot if we are prepared, if we are girded with truth, if we set our foundation in God. Satan and his army of fallen angels seek to either convince us that there is no God, to cause us to turn away from God, or to have us believing that we do not need God at all, because we as humans have seemingly in our own might accomplished so much. As time passes, technology develops, and we become more independent, and we can create more and More faster. Hence, with technology, why do we need anything else? The postmodern world and many of the enlightenment thinkers have led us to believe that mankind has the power independently of any God to rule and reign and create. But the word of God says this. John 15 verses 4 and 5. Abide in me and I am you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches who abides in me and I am him. Again, he who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. That is something to think about and to meditate on. The truth you see is that war rages all around us, seen and unseen. There's a war in the heavenlies, there's a war within us, there's a war on the earth, and it's all about us. We are the spoils of the warfare. But we actually choose to be victorious or not. We actually choose to win or not by deciding with whom we will ally ourselves. With God, with man, or with the enemy. Hence, we must never take things or people for granted, and we must never assume that there is no resistance against us in the spirit or within ourselves. We must acknowledge the truth of where we reside. Where are our minds? Where does our thought life lie? And what do we believe? Ephesians chapter 6 confirms the warfare. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rules of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. That's the New King James version. In the New Living Translation version, Ephesians 6 reads, We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. The Word of God also says, we must cast down every false imagination and everything that exalts itself against the truth of God. The battle is in our minds. And when our minds are weakened by the lack of knowledge, by the lack of relationship with the Lord Christ, we are vulnerable to every whim of the enemy. So I say, go big, go Jesus. Let's not cheat ourselves by using half-baked remedies and falling for scams and schemes to get reached quickly or to get by without God, by taking shortcuts. Let's try partnering with God like never before in 2026, believing in his promises wholeheartedly and in his ability and power, which

Closing Prayers And Commission

Dina LaFargue Augustin 23:15

is endless. Whatever we do, we should work heartily as for the Lord and not for men. That's Bible. Knowing that from the Lord we will receive the inheritance as our reward. We are serving the Lord Christ. And that can be found in Colossians chapter 3. Nothing of value exists without Christ. Therefore, we are to do nothing out of selfless ambitions or vain conceit, but rather in humility, valuing others above ourselves, not looking to our own interests, but we are each to care about the interests of others, the well-being of others. Meaning in business, in work, in our families, we can prosper, but not at the expense of others, and not out of mere selfishness or self-ambition. So, in closing, we must be mindful of partnering with God. We have to get our motivations and priorities in order. We must clear our hearts and our heads. We must get our minds right. We must get right with God. And we must tend to our mental and emotional well-being and health first. Because again, I said the battle is in our minds. It's a mind game. Therefore, it is a must. It is essential. It is a necessity to do a self-assessment of our own intentions, our own thought patterns, our own attitudes, ideations, habits, behaviors, desires, and beliefs. Our thought life matters because thoughts turn into actions. What we dwell on manifests. Our understanding of who we are and why we are and what we are made of is key to helping us maintain a healthy thought life and to move forward more prosperously. Meditating on God and His teachings will help us stay grounded and impervious to debilitating mental health issues that result from bad experiences, traumas, losses, and everything else that is a negative. We must do what is necessary to correct our thoughts, to correct our patterns of thinking that are unhealthy, pessimistic, and unproductive. Therefore, we should make a concerted effort to really believe the word of God, which speaks to our hearts and minds and reminds us that we are created in God's image and that we are created to do great things, and that we are created with a sound mind, with power and love. Philippians 4 13 says we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. That is a very common verse that people speak all the time. But we need to speak it as much as we need it. When we feel we are failing and becoming tired and exhausted, when the enemy and life is wearing us down, we must speak the word of God so that it surrounds us and fills the atmosphere and pushes the enemy away, that pushes the negative thoughts away, that pushes the exhaustion away because the word of God is food. It is our bread of life, it is our life line. We can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. We must believe it and put it to the test. Habakkuk 3:19 says, The sovereign Lord is my strength, He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights. These verses are clear indicators of what we can do with God. Please soul search. If you find that you are lacking direction, peace, support, clarity, or strength, if you feel that you are lacking in area any area of your life, if you feel that your endeavors are fruitless, then most likely you're under attack, you're exposed and very vulnerable to the whims of the enemy who is your biggest competitor. Believe it. Hence, it takes faith to please God, it takes faith to walk in strength and understanding, it takes faith to prosper and what matters, and what matters is the Lord. It takes discipline, it takes a concerted effort to invest in the most valuable of all things to be prosperous and to be successful in 2026. So when we spend time reading self-help books, when we spend time reading how to get rich quick, I'm not saying that all these are bad, but when we put all our effort into our operations and into things and into applications, without God, we are not maximizing the opportunity and the outcome of success. It takes faith to prosper, and what really matters, and what really matters is partnering with the Lord. Hebrews 11 6 says, and without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. God is the rewarder of those who believe and trust. God is faithful and merciful. And it is it's his desire that we succeed and that we overcome. He doesn't want us to fail. He doesn't want us to struggle unnecessarily. No, his desire is for us. He created us. So we're to seek him first. We are to seek him first and his righteousness, and all good things will be added unto us. Therefore, if your 2026 is being haunted with plagues of the past, such as bitterness, hopelessness, exhaustion, trauma, and fears and losses, it must be dealt with and cast out. We are not to let the negative overrule. We are not to let the negative and the past experiences dominate how we move forward in 2026. We are not to allow those our thoughts to dwell there, but to dwell on the possibilities of the future. Consider these following verses and put them to work by meditating on their meaning and speak them out loud. In doing so, the word of God will come alive in your life, for he is truth. It is his truth that sets us free. It is his life and his power that sets us free and looses us from all the entanglements of the enemy. Now we'll read the following verses as if they are one. Proverbs chapter 15 verse thirteen, Philippians chapter four verse eight, second Timothy chapter one verse seven, Ephesians chapter four verse twenty three, second Timothy one verse thirteen, and Romans chapter twelve verse two. A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Hence, I interject, we are to turn our attention to the Lord and not on the hurtful circumstances and people or situations. Even if we're living in them, we're to think on the Lord. For 2 Timothy reads, for God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control. Therefore, I interject, we are to remember that God is with us in all things and wherever we go, in power and in comfort and in protection. And we are to be renewed in the spirit of our minds. Therefore, we are to allow Him to come into our hearts, to dwell in our thought life, so that the healing can begin. Second Timothy, follow the pattern of the sound words that we have heard from me, from the Lord, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Know that God is pure love and knows all things about you. 2 Timothy verse 1. Again I say it more clearly. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from the Apostle Paul in the faith and in the love that are in Christ Jesus. And I say we are to know that God's love is the purest of love, the most powerful of all love, that God is love, and that he knows all things about us. Romans 12 reads, Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is the good and acceptable and perfect will. So when we endeavor to do and to go forth and to engage in the world in business, let us not be conformed to their way of doing things, but let us consider what is right and how God will want us to move forward with the mind of God and doing business with God in mind and handling all facets of our lives. In closing, go big, go with Christ Jesus. Do not put your energy into the patterns of this world, but allow God to lead and guide you in your everyday life, in the big and in the small, in your business, in your career, in your endeavors, in your family life. Have the mind of Christ, which is the love of God, which is in humility and in confidence, and in the ability to serve God in power, in peace, and in truth. Therefore, if 2025 is spilling over with all the mishaps and the traumas and unresolved issues with mishap and mayhem, you must introduce all of it. You must introduce mishap and mayhem to what is bigger and better and more powerful than them. You must introduce all evil attacks to the one more powerful than you could ever imagine, Jesus Christ. Everything must bow to the name. He died for our sins, overcoming all temptation and evil, and becoming man, yet being fully God, he overcame every temptation and died free of sin, but took on our sin that we may live. His is the name that puts all evil to shame. Philippians chapter two verse nine and eleven says it, therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed upon him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to glory of God the Father. Hence, proclaim his name, his omnipotence over every evil in your life, over every negative thing, over every circumstance that has exalted itself against his truth and his promises. Be proactive and be territorial for what is yours by keeping his promises alive, protected, and activated in your life. Ephesians 6 says, Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. First Corinthians, for the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. Second Peter, his divine power, has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence. And in closing, my prayer to you is this from Ephesians chapter 3, starting at verse 16. I pray, my brothers and sisters, that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in his people, in the church, and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Be blessed, everyone. Be at peace, be encouraged, be in him, be courageous, be relentless, and be in love. Truth drips.
