The theme for 2026:

“I will make you a pillar in the house of My God“

I love January 1st of every year when I ask God for a theme that ends up sharpening my focus on one area of the Kingdom. This morning, I sat in eager expectation of what He would speak. I asked for satan to be silenced, for my own thoughts to be silenced and then just listened.

First thing I heard from God in my Jan 1st, 2026 quiet time was “I delight in you.” That alone was enough for the rest of my life. I can feel God’s delight in me and if you know me, that is literALLy everything to me.

Then I heard and felt “You are immersed in My Spirit.“

Next I could hear the song playing in my head “Great is the steadfast love” by Lindy Cofer. He has been sharing Psalm 118:4 with me in the last few months and today He said I will be marked by this verse which says “Let those who fear the Lord say ‘His steadfast love endures forever.'” I carry the fear of the Lord and know His steadfast love…you HAVE to have both.

Then He told me the Bible reading plan for 2026 which is to read the “whole Bible.” The last two years He had me on repeat with Acts (2024) and then Romans (2025) but in 2026, I’m eating the whole scroll. I have done that 20+ times already but since it’s alive, it’s like reading it afresh each time.

To be a pillar in the house of God, your foundation is the Word of God, so it makes sense. I will continue to detox from online sermons, reading other books and listening to podcasts and just focus on the Word. Of course, I get sermons at church and tons of teaching in the schools I work with in YWAM {and will always be a learner} but I just want the Bible these days. My taste buds are craving just that main course.

He told me promises will be fulfilled in 2026.

Someone prophesied over me in 2019 and said something amazing was coming in 7 years…and I always wondered what in the world would happen…so here we are 7 years later. I’ve lived with expectancy but now my eyes will see what I have held in faith.

Then after saying all of that, I asked for the theme for 2026 and He said “I will make you a pillar in the house of My God” which is wild because that is what I also heard as the theme of our leadership track that starts in January.

He told me something so special…”You will spend time in the throne room.” When I worship, sometimes I see Jesus standing in front of me, sometimes He is walking in the midst of us, and sometimes He is on the throne and I can see me in the midst of every tribe and tongue gathered around Him.

This year will be glimpses into that latter picture of the throne room, I believe. I can imagine really powerful moments in worship being in awe of who He is, King of Kings. This is the whole point of my life…that day when every nation that He called me to will be gathered around His throne. It’s why I exist…so we can all be there.

I dove deeper into Revelation 3:7-13 where Jesus speaks to the church of Philadelphia from where this theme came from for 2026. These words come from the Holy and True One. When He wants to open a door, best believe it will open. When He wants to close a door, it’s shut period. I read where an open door, biblically, usually refers to an evangelistic opportunity.” yesssssuhhhh

I love this part…it’s the humility piece that Jesus drops “I know you have but little power…YET you have kept My word and not denied My name.” LOVVVVVEEE this so much. Like you know where to cling to because you’re weak and you know where the true Source is…who I am and what I say.

So hold fast to that…who I am and what I say…and no can can take your ability to your crown. I read where it doesn’t mean a crown of royalty but a crown of victory. And it said “to play the second half as strongly as they played the first half..never forget that the man most likely to steal your crown is yourself. ‘Keep thy heart with all diligence.’ You are in no greater danger from anyone or anything than from yourself.” (Havner)

My burning heart message is to finish burning for Jesus brighter than ever…so to wind up and not down. To go from glory to glory. That is why I must stay clingy, dependent and at the feet of Jesus all my days in the fear and love of God to truly be victorious. I know I am one step away from stupid at any given moment so I stand on Jesus and His word for stability…holding fast to His robe.

In Revelation 3, it says “to the one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God. Never shall he go out of it and I will write on him the name of my God.” It’s giving you were marked with a seal of the Holy Spirit guaranteeing your inheritance. (Ephesians 1:14)

A pillar in the temple specifically means the holy place and holies of holies…like where He’s at. So if we overcome, He will give us a permanent place in His presence. It doesn’t get much better than that.

In the fall of 2025, I went to the church of Philadelphia, in Turkey. Guess what is left of the ruins? Just the pillars!!!!!!!! That was literally all remained and will remain. It’s all that will matter.

A permanent place in His presence.

2026 is gonna be stunning and I’m here for Him, His bride and the ones who are yet to even know there is a home they are invited to permanently live in with Him.
