Into 2026, We Will Continue to Run Our Race!
A very Victorious New Year to you all!
”…. and suddenly I saw The Fire of His Glory fall and everything changed!”
2025
The last six months have been some of the most painful months of my life — and I don’t say that lightly….
There was nothing easy and dare I say nothing convenient, about this last Season.
It tested so deeply — Emotionally, Spiritually, Physically and Mentally — and all at once.
Cancer unexpectedly entered our family dynamics, and suddenly everything shifted. Priorities radically changed and were greatly challenged.
Many conversations were redefined and the fragility of life was made unmistakably clear!
Ha! Faith no longer merely theoretical knowledge — but It became Experiential Knowledge. A living, breathing reality that had to be walked out daily, literally moment by moment keeping my eyes firmly fixed on Jesus alone.
There were moments in these last six months when truly the weight of navigating life this side of eternity felt overwhelmingly heavy and even frightening.
Doubt and uncertainty tried to creep in again and again, and sometimes spoke far louder than Hope and Truth ever did.
At the same time, Ministry came under pressure like never before. New challenges surfaced that threatened to exhaust, distract, and discourage on many levels; relationships were tried and tested by Fire; Prophetic Assignments felt heavier than ever.
Even the things I believed were solid and stable, were tested and shaken violently!
Life, Ministry, and Relationships were all being pressed at once — truly a time of what had felt like an intense crushing and I saw a death come to things I thought still had life in them!
The warfare intensified in ways, I personally had not experienced before, and It became clear that the opposition rising was calculated and strategic.
New levels of demonic resistance showed up and it was obvious the enemy was not only trying to wear me down, but attacks meticulously designed to silence my voice and cause me to pull back, and accept defeat!
BUT GOD….!
God has remained ever faithful, never absent, never distant — only ever unconditionally faithful!
Even when I was feeling confused, discouraged and frustrated; even when my midnight cries and desperate prayers felt like they only hit the ceiling; even when answers didn’t come quickly; even when my strength was at its lowest and even when tears were frequent and private, I knew God’s Eye was on me and His Spirit sustaining me, His Presence empowering me to take another step forward.
And when I didn’t know how I would make it through another day, His Voice would whisper, ”Beloved… Come Nearer!”
By the Grace of God, this last season did not destroy me, but rather ”it only proved God!”
Yes! It proved His Power to prevail. It proved His Love never fails, and it continues to refine my Faith and my Understanding of WHO God truly is!
The intensity of these trials truly reset my alignments and exposed in my foundations what needed to be reinforced and strengthened, and what needed to be stripped away, and what could not go forward into a New Season.
Only by His Grace, I am still standing, and certainly not because the fiery trials were small, but because my GOD IS BIG — and I saw that His Hand was on the dial!
2026
As I look toward 2026 in light of these last six months, I do so with a radical and unshakable Hope in a God Who is ever Faithful and True to His Word!
My resolve is stronger and deeper and my Faith and Vision are clearer and more real, and more anchored than ever!
My Faith and Expectations are not tied to shifting circumstances, but fully Surrendered and deeply…and securely anchored in God.
I know by experience that He has carried me and those I love, through in this last Season.
And I choose again to Trust Him completely, with what lies ahead in the coming days.
Yes, the last six months have been brutal and in ways and at times only God has seen and been witness to — but, the Testing and the Trials did not have the final word!
My God did! His Faithfulness did! His Love Did! And STILL does!
So, as we move forward into 2026, I am believing with you ALL for even greater Victories and incredible Testimonies!
Yet even more than that, I carry what the last six months have taught me, that there is a great cost — but an even greater reward — when we remain fully dependent on His Grace and confidently anchored in His Faithfulness to empower us to Overcome and to Win!
Today on the threshold of a New Year,
I Decree: We will continue to run our Race with resolve, our eyes fixed forward, trusting in His Strength, Grace and Wisdom and not in our own, until Heaven’s Roll Call speaks our Names!
A very victorious new year to you all!
Love and honour every single one of you!
Thank you for your Love and support through it all.
And, I look forward to saying with you in the New Year,
”…. and suddenly I saw The Fire of His Glory fall and everything changed!”
Blessings to you all.

Dear Veronika,
As I read of the intense suffering you have endured and been through in the last six months< I was reminded of a friend who is going through intense battles in different areas. Our own family are holding fast to what we know is true in the whirlwind of lies that have come against us by someone dear and very close to us.
I was greatly encouraged reading what you wrote and can declare that we are in this together and we will gain the victor's crown over our enemy, through the strength and power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. we are together IN HIM. xx
Thank you Veronika for your obedience and your honesty and yes it has been a brutal last 6 months…BUT GOD!
Beautiful..thank youe9.
Dear Veronika,
Thank you so much for your honesty, integrity and your incredible walk with our Lord.
You are such an inspiration and blessing to me and to so many others.
You carry such an anointing and have confirmed so many words that I have received in my own prayer time and needed clarification in the spiritual warfare dimension that the Lord has called me into.
May the Lord continue to bless you and your family abundantly in all that you do.
Dear Veroniika,
I was very saddened to hear that you and yours have suffered such severe trial and testing over the last six months however what a testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness and love! I make a point to always read your messages if you post and it is amazing to know of these matters over the last six months particularly because your messages have become even more excellent during that challenging time. Thank you for your faithfulness to share what the Lord is showing you to help guide us in understanding and for prayer even when going through great personal trial. So anointed and increasing in anointing for such a time as this! May the Lord bless yand protect ou and yours highly, mighty woman of GOD.
Amen. Indeed!
Dear sister Veronika
Thank you for sharing the testimony of personal heavy struggles. One day you will get a very special crown. You were and you are a huge blessing and a highly appreciated prophetic voice, though you went through the shadow of the valley of death. Sister, you touched many many souls through this. Be healed, in the Name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Dear Veronica
I relate so much to your wonderful walk with the Lord! It is when we are the loneliest that we experience His presence the most. Some tines the tears are not of desperation, they are appreciations of His unconditional love and care for us.
I always look forward for your declarations of His faith building messages and I just want to let you know many of us are together with you in this path.
May our Lord and Saviour continue to bless you, your family and your ministry now and forever more!
Dear Veronika, thank you. You wrote this so accurately of the last six months. You are truly a Prophet To The Nations.
Taking Territories for the Kingdom of God, I truly relate, and agree with Chris ‘A Cloud of Witnesses are Cheering us on.’
Blessings and prayers, and a Very Victorious New Year to you and your family dear Veronika, in His Love.
Amen it has been a trying year, but Amen may God help us to learn His wisdom & grow more solid in Him.
God bless your beautiful heart Veronika!!
Thank God for you…literally!!
The phrase “run with horses” comes from Jeremiah 12:5, where God challenges the prophet: “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?
I’ve prayed for the Lord to help me run with horses many times. I believe He is crushing us to strengthen us and prepare us to Stand and look to Him. Bless you and your family.
Veronika, blessings of the Lord to you and your family. Thank you for your faithfulness in the midst of the storm. Wow!
I can only repeat this comment above, dear Veronica…
Noone here knew what you went through as you published what you received from the Lord unwaveringly and steadily!!…
„Even when I was feeling confused, discouraged and frustrated; even when my midnight cries and desperate prayers felt like they only hit the ceiling; even when answers didn’t come quickly; even when my strength was at its lowest and even when tears were frequent and private, I knew God’s Eye was on me and His Spirit sustaining me, His Presence empowering me to take another step forward.“
I went through those lone nights crying out for God to linger my unbearable pain but it seemed they hit the ceiling only!
I know all this and what it does to you „ Emotionally, Spiritually, Physically and Mentally — and all at once.“……….
Besides this were the constant promises for Breakthrough in 2025- up until the end of December and Christmas Season!..
We did not see it again.
Today I opened up Daniel 5 starting with Verse 26 where it is about the three faithful Jewish guys who were in the blazing fire together with Jesus and no smell of burn was even to be traced on them! That fits to your testimony!
