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, 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!
And yet, Veronika, you consistently delivered word after word. Time after time, you showed up with a multiplication of good word for us to digest. Thank you for your obedience. God bless you! The best is yet to come!
Oh bless you Veronika. I pray the Lord will bless you, and protect you and your family. What ever the enemy means for harm that the Lord will turn it around for his glory and for your good. I plead the blood over you and I ask for a hedge of protection to surround you and your family, in the name of Jesus we ask this. Amen
Thank you for sharing Veronika. I thoroughly understand and deeply relate.
A bright spotlight: It is delightful to know that the great cloud of witnesses are SO excited about this point in time and are also cheering us on. I speak “HARVEST!” to their seeds sown before that haven’t seen harvest yet.
So death was at work in you, and life was at work in me.
Till He splits the eastern sky,
Someone longing for the Fire of His Glory
Thanks for giving us an opportunity to stand with you and your faith for healing! God continue to bless you and your family in His mighty name and power of the blood of Jesus!
Thank you, Veronika, for the courage to share this. Your perseverance and faithfulness is a testament to your commitment to the Lord and His work. You inspire us to prioritize and pursue the only thing that matters; our relationship with our Savior.
Our Father will bless you and make you a blessing in this new year.
Gratefully in Him.
