27 January 2026. Rise in Splendour
“I have painted orange, yellow and pure white on the sky. Can you see the sun rising? The dawn has fully come, and I want you to see it. My perspective is wider and higher. Up here, the dawn colours are sharper and beautiful.
There is no corruption by any interference from worries or anxiety. Come up to Me. See the wide open spaces from My perspective. When you feel like you’re stagnating, it’s easy to let fear or angst become your reality. But I call you higher!
Hear My voice to keep moving, soaring above the circumstances surrounding you. Rise to see things from My perspective. I’ll show you the night dissolving into a new morning. Ascend with Me and feel the light breeze on your face. Delight in this place, where everything is light and bright.
Rest in this space. My shoulders can carry you if you want. Fly with me and glide above all the noise. Allow My sunrise glory to break over you and let’s float into the promises of a new day dawning.”
Isaiah 60:1-2 (NIV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.”
26 January 2026. The Thoughts of God
“Just as My Love for you is endless, so are My Thoughts about you! Consider the sand. Have you ever noticed how sand gets in everything? No matter how hard you try to wash it away, it keeps showing up in the strangest places?
I made every grain of sand to remind you how much I Love you and how often I think of you. Ponder how many miles upon miles of sand it takes to contain the ocean and form the nations. Imagine how many grains there must be.
My Thoughts surround you, and are far more numerous than all the sand in the world. I know every good and loving thought I have about you. You cannot erase a single one of them, and you are never far from My Thoughts.”
Activation : As you go about your day today, remind yourself of the vast sum of God’s loving thoughts towards you. Ask Him to share some of His thoughts about you today, and write them down so you can reflect on them often.
Psalm 139:17-18 (NIV) “How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand – when I awake, I am still with you.”
23 January 2026. Watchman Dreams
“I AM allowing you today to see what the enemy is doing, so that you may defeat and foil every scheme. Where there are plans to steal, kill and destroy, you are being allowed to go into the enemy’s camp and take back what was stolen.
I bring life in its fullness! No longer will the enemy take what is rightfully Mine and My children’s. I AM sending Dreams and Visions to you, My children, to show you where the enemy has overplayed his hand, to give you prophetic intel so you can take back what was stolen.
Come with Me with your head held high, let us go to the camp of the enemy and take all that was stolen. I AM a good Father; I AM with you all the way.”
Activation : God wants to give His people dreams where He reveals the enemy’s plans, and how to destroy those plans. The Lord will give strategy on how to decree and declare those schemes null and void. This is for those who long for a watchman capability, for those who know who He is and what His name does. You can defeat the enemy and his plans, and also intercede for those around you. Ask God for this watchman dreaming capability, then allow God to reveal enemy plans. Fix your eyes on Jesus, ask Him what to do and allow Him to lead you in prayer, intercession and warfare to see the enemies plans null and void.
1 Samuel 30:18-19 (NKJV) “So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives. And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.”
22 January 2026. Full Acceptance
“Now more than ever, I want you to remember that I AM your Father, and you are My beloved child. I AM a Father who gives good gifts to My Children. I do not change. Nothing you do can stop My unfailing love, and nothing can snatch you out of My hand.
Remaining strong in the face of adversity depends on you grasping this truth in your innermost parts, and never letting go. For I never let go of you.”
Activation : Ask Father God to reveal any areas where you have struggled to believe how beloved you are to Him, and where you have struggled to trust Him with childlike faith. Repent for what He shows you. Ask Him to renew your faith as a child so you can see, sense, or feel the depth, height, and breadth of His love so profoundly that you cannot help but pour out your love on Him.
Romans 8:15-16 (TPT) “And you did not receive the ‘spirit of religious duty,’ leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the ‘Spirit of full acceptance,’ enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, ‘Beloved Father!’ For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, ‘You are God’s beloved child!’”
21 January 2026. Build and Plant
“I see you diligently working out solutions with the means in your hand, and I see you asking in faith for your provision to be multiplied. Saints, the Harvest is ripe and the workers are few! Will I not send you out equipped?
I AM calling you to build and to plant for The Kingdom of God. To share the Good News of Jesus. You do not need to work out solutions with your small means. I AM working them out with My greater means! Ask and you shall receive! Seek and you will find Me!
This is My Word for you today. I AM expanding your vision to align with My Vision in this hour. Open your eyes to see The Glory of The LORD. The Kingdom of God is at hand. You will see great signs, wonders and miracles as you walk in My Ways and not your own.”
Activation : Ask The LORD for your vision to align with His Vision for you. This is a now Word for you. He will show you His ways and His plan for you, as you build the kingdom of God.
Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
20 January 2026. Don’t Sit in Worry
“I AM the Alpha and the Omega, God of endings and beginnings. Endings can sometimes be sad, or feel like being untethered. But in Me, an ending is a springboard! When Mary said, ‘Let it be to me according to Your word’, I could be birthed. When sin put Me in the grave, I defeated death and rose again. After I ascended to Heaven, I sent The Holy Spirit to you.
Don’t sit in the overwhelm of worry or regret for things that have ended. Worship Me. And as you do, you will begin to perceive My perspective. In the place of worship, hold onto faith in who I am, arise so you can press on and take hold of the things I have taken hold of for you. This is your springboard for new beginnings!
Sit with Me and ask these questions. What have been the learnings from last year, which have most refined you to more greatly reflect Me? Where have you grown? Take a moment to pour out thankfulness.
What were the hurts or choices that diminished you? Release them to Me, and I’ll show you where or if you need to repent. I’ll be with you as you forgive others. As we move on, put your pain into My hands, say goodbye and leave it there.
Now with our springboard in place, let’s leap together into the new. You don’t move forward alone: I was with you back then, I am with you now and I will never abandon you. Keep your eyes on Me, worship Me with all that you are, and let’s journey on together.”
Revelation 1:8 (NIV) ““I am the Alpha and the Omega”, says The LORD God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”“
19 January 2026. Fountain of Cascading Light
“My dear pure and holy Bride, this is a preparation time that you are in. I AM coming back soon for you, My Love. But there are still so many in this world who don’t know Me. Who are so consumed by the gloom of today, who sit in the shadow of death, who have never seen My true light.
It is time to arise and let My light shine in corners of darkness where people live. I have placed people in your life, who have felt darkness knocking on their doors. And I have placed My Light within you, so that you will be an incandescent candle in the shadowy places of gloom.
Shine strong. The flame of My light will sweep into their eyes, and they will see My holy light in you. With your help, I will shine a spotlight into deep caves of blindness and haul those lost, into the noonday sun.”
Activation : Ask The LORD: who is around you who needs you to shine His light into their life today? What neighbor, family member, friend or co-worker needs you to shine the light of Christ, so they receive the light of revelation?
Psalms 36:9 (MSG) “You’re a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light.”
16 January 2026. My Banner of Love
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Come out from your dark cave, My beloved. It is time to leave the cave of independence. Come to My table which I have prepared for you. Do you not know that the enemy cannot interfere with the feast I have prepared for you?
Come into the joy of Your Maker. Come and be covered by My banner of love. Come, recline, eat and be satisfied by My goodness.”
The LORD showed me caves of independence which people were choosing to sit in. The places of ‘darkness’ that we have carved out for ourselves, which do not satisfy. Then The LORD showed me the feasting table of God, covered in colourful waving banners and surrounded by joyful heavenly singing. It is the place The LORD has prepared for us to dine with Him, and to depend upon Him.
The LORD says: “Just as I chose to come in the flesh and depend on another as a helpless baby, I want you to move from your cave of independence to My feasting table, where you can learn to fully depend on Me.”
Activation : Take a moment to thank God for preparing a feast for you. Tell Him you are sorry for depending on yourself. Then do a simple prophetic act as a sign of agreement with God. Get up from where you are, take a few steps and sit in a different place. Ask Holy Spirit to remind you throughout the day to feast at His table.
Song of Solomon 2:4 (NLT) “He escorts me to the banquet hall; it’s obvious how much He loves me.”
15 January 2026. A Safe Embrace
“You are Mine and your life is not your own. Today I come to remind you that you were bought at a price. You are My precious one, who is carrying My purpose, My call and My vision.
Some of you have forgotten that your life is Mine. I want to do great things in you and through you. This takes wild obedience to follow My voice, and to do as I instruct, because My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways.
Today I ask you to trust Me again, and remember who I have called you to be; My precious one, My child, My beloved.”
Activation : Repent if you need to, for where you have lived your life for yourself and not for God. He is a good Father, who wants to do good things in you, for you and with you. Sit with Jesus and ask, “LORD, did I do the last thing you told me to do?” If the answer is ‘yes’, ask The LORD for what He wants you to do next. If the answer is ‘no’, ask God to remind you of what He wants you to do. Then in obedience, step out and follow what The LORD has said in faith.
Jeremiah 10:23 (NKJV) “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.”
14 January 2026. Set a Place For Me
“My Beloved — enjoy this year as you worship Me, celebrating with family and friends. Make the most of every opportunity to bring hope to those who are quietly desperate or have lost their way. Be the light that overcomes darkness and make a difference by preparing a table where people can gather. Don’t forget to set a place for Me.
Just as I spent time with those whose lives were wayward and messy, go out of your way to love others well and be filled with grace. Pray for family and friends who challenge you. Ask Me to show you how I see them, for they are made in My image.
Be Christ-centred and confident in who you are in Me. I walked, spoke and ate with the lost and hurting. I was always authentic and true to The Father. So share the good news of Jesus, speaking truth with love and prayerfully leave the outcome with Me. The greatest gift you can give anyone this year is to demonstrate the pure joy, hope and peace that comes from living a life in union with Me.”
John 1:14 (MSG) “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish.”
13 January 2026. Pause, Breathe, Turn Around
I looked in the spirit and saw a person spinning many plates on many poles, frantically running around, trying desperately to stop them falling. It was an all consuming task with no end and no rest. Then I heard the voice of The LORD say, “Pause…. Breathe…Turn around.”
The Spirit of The LORD says: “It’s time to step out of busyness, and turn to Me. Let your thoughts be on Me. Allow Me to look after the many things on your mind. But you must know, I will let some plates fall. Because some of those plates are not for you.
Some of the things you are carrying are a distraction, and they are wearing you out. Be brave and let them go. Those plates which are meant to be yours, I will keep them spinning more perfectly than you have ever seen. Let us work together, not with angst and fear but with purpose and fruitfulness.”
Activation: Respond to The LORD’s call to pause, breathe and turn around. Spend an extended time with Him, picturing The LORD in front of you. Invite God’s all consuming peace. Allow Him to reveal to you all the things you are struggling to maintain and actively hand those things to God. Ask The LORD to reveal to you those things which are not yours to carry in this season. Repent of any self-effort, and ask The LORD how he wants you to go about laying these things down. Then ask Him where His anointing is for purpose and fruitfulness in your life.
Luke 10:40-42 (ESV) “But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But The LORD answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
12 January 2026. Grow Into Glory
“My beloved, you have walked with Me for a while. You have lived in My Favour and although you’ve had ups and downs, and have sometimes been upset with Me, we are closer in relationship at the start of this new year. You have submitted over and over again to My promptings. Sometimes we have wrestled, and sometimes you have been in immediate obedience. You are learning what pleases Me, and what I require.
Although you have experienced disappointment and even anger during the last year, you have also experienced the great delight of My Presence. Things in your life not in alignment with Me had to be pulled down. New foundations had to be put in place, so that now I can build a greater spiritual depth in you.
As we move forward together, it will be a time of unveiling and unravelling of new glories. A year to obtain new heights, new battles to overcome, new relationships and deeper experiences of My Presence and Glory. You will learn more about overcoming the enemy and the power of My Name. You will experience a greater agreement with the moving of My Spirit and increased knowledge of the reality of the heavenly realms. More joy and more divine encounters.
Delight in Me child as we move forward into the uncovering of greater glory in this new year, where you will learn to live and abide IN Me rather than coming in and going out of My Presence.”
John 15:4-5 (NIV) “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
9 January 2026. Sing With Angels
Can you hear the roar of heavenly voices in God’s Throne Room? The clanging of cast down Crowns, the cracks of lightning and trumpeting of voices? All crying out to The One Who is Worthy, the One we adore.
Start the new year with praise and join the elders in whole body worship. Sing with Angels and give thanks for what was, what is, and what is to come. Be filled with The Presence of The LORD — whole, perfect, complete. Overflow with the pure endless love of God for you. Allow your Heavenly Father to fill every part of you, until all you can see is Him.
Listen in the spirit to the sound of heavenly creatures. Take note of their song and join in!
Activation : Read Revelation 4 and take time to hear each sound in the spirit. The sound of the elders throwing their bodies to the floor. The sound of their gold Crowns laid down. The crash of thunder and crackle of lightning. Ask The Holy Spirit to help you encounter God in His Throne Room.
Revelation 4:9-10 (NIV) “Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever.”
8 January 2026. Fresh Breath
“Oh beloved, I have seen you standing firmly for Me but have grown weary. I AM bringing a fresh breath to blow away what you once thought you needed to carry.
You are shedding ashes of falsehoods. New anointings are being placed upon you. How you once saw, spoke, and thought will no longer be. A fresh mindset is emerging. Vision and senses are coming alive to remind you how much I love you!
No more stagnancy. I AM not a monotone God but a God who is gloriously creative. Where you have felt lack in your spirit, there will be a new overflow of fullness from Me bubbling up inside of you. No longer are you just existing, you are now living with the zeal of The LORD from My Presence. Now go! Live as the new self that I have created in the likeness of The Father, in true righteousness and holiness!”
Activation : As a prophetic act, stand and remove the falsehoods and stagnancy you have been living in. As you pull them off, allow the Holy Spirit to show you the new anointings He is embellishing upon you.
Ephesians (ESV) 4:23-24 “And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
7 January 2026. Fearless Anticipation
“Precious one, as I look at you, I feel such delight in who I created you to be. Such excited anticipation for all that I have in store for you. The seasons waiting for you, the adventures we will have together, the things I want to show you and teach you, these fill me with overflowing joy.
But I also see the subtleties of fear creeping in. Uncertainties about decisions to be made, trepidation about what might happen, vulnerability over what could be lost. My child, I’ve got you.
Bring Me those fears. Don’t hide them, don’t pretend they’re not there. They are the lies sent to take you off course. Together we won’t let them. Let Me love the fears away. Allow Me to remove the spirit of fear, and lead you into a place of fearless anticipation!”
Activation : Ask Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where fear around the future has crept, subtly or blatantly, into your thinking. Talk to The LORD about these fears. Then release them to Him, and ask The LORD to fill these areas of your thinking with His love. Keep coming back to these prayers until fear has been replaced by joyful anticipation.
1 John 4:18 (NKJV) “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
6 January 2026. Heavenly Things
“Mighty warrior, remember you are an Ambassador of an unlimited Kingdom. You are My Image Bearer, you are a partaker of My Divine Nature, and I invite you to enter The Throne Room and Storehouses of Heaven.
Come, be transformed into My Likeness as you meet with Me, but do not leave empty-handed. Fill your bags with the things of heaven — peace, joy, healings, miracles, words from My Throne Room, and all the other wonders you can find. For the spiritual blessings in heavenly places are your inheritance.
Take so that you can release. As it is in heaven, release it on earth. Bring My Kingdom into the world, transform the lives of those around you with the things of heaven.
I want My extraordinary to become your norm. Raise your expectation of how I can break into your days, for My Heavenly Storehouses never run dry!”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you a heavenly blessing that is yours through Jesus. Then ask Him to lead you to release this blessing in some way into your day. Watch what Holy Spirit does, and be ready to follow what He says. Make this a lifestyle pattern.
Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) “Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.”
5 January 2026. Remember Your Call
“You are Mine and your life is not your own. Today I come to remind you that you were bought at a price. You are My precious one, who is carrying My Purpose, My Call and My Vision.
Some of you have forgotten that your life is Mine. I want to do great things in you and through you. This takes wild obedience to follow My voice, and to do as I instruct, because My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways.
Today I ask you to trust Me again, and remember who I have called you to be; My precious one, My child, My beloved.”
Activation : Repent if you need to, for where you have lived your life for yourself and not for God. He is a good Father, who wants to do good things in you, for you and with you. Sit with Jesus and ask, “Lord, did I do the last thing you told me to do?” If the answer is ‘yes’, ask The LORD for what He wants you to do next. If the answer is ‘no’, ask God to remind you of what He wants you to do. Then in obedience, step out and follow what The LORD has said in faith.
Jeremiah 10:23 (NKJV) “O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.”
2 January 2026. The Walls Will Fall
“The walls will fall! Just as the obedience of My People and the sound of the Shofars caused the walls of Jericho to fall, so will your obedience and the sound of your praises break down the walls that have confined you, entrapped you, and kept you thinking small.
Do not forget that I inhabit your Praise and that the enemy must flee from My Presence. Do not forget that you have the mind of Christ. When you are uncertain about what to do or how to get free, praise and worship Me with abandon.
Sing, shout and dance before Me. Then you will look around and say, ‘Where are the walls and where is the smallness? They are no more for my God has done what He promised, and that which held me in captivity is gone.’”
Activation : Write down the things in your life which feel more like bondage than freedom. Confess any beliefs you have which keep you in small-minded thinking. Then worship and praise God with abandon. Declare out loud, “The walls will fall!” until you sense it is so. Thank God for who He is and what He has done.
Joshua 6:20 (BSB) “So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.”
1 January 2026. Time to Write!
Pick up your pens – The LORD is releasing an anointing to write in this hour! As the new year dawns, allow your words to pour forth in spirit-filled golden glory, flowing from your innermost being. Free from fear and joyous in worship.
For The LORD has given you an idea, a story, a testimony to write for the world to see. He has placed beauty inside of you, victory for His Kingdom. Allow it to be birthed from the unseen to the seen, visible in black and white on the written page.
Don’t let fear from snarling voices of the enemy stop you. Release the words inside of you as an act of worship, putting God before any fear of not being enough. Pour out the words burning in your bones. Set the world alight with what God wants to say through you.
Do not worry if other books or blogs or articles or short stories have already been written. YOU are unique and your voice, your words carry something that only you can express. So beloved child of God, take courage from God and the example of Luke. Even if others have already written — it’s time to write!
Luke 1:3-4 (NIV) “With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.”
