The Opening of the Highway of Glory
This is your moment to run! The upcoming year, 2026, signifies the opening of the highway of glory into God's house—a gateway providing divine access into our nations. Twenty-six is a sacred number for the Jewish people, as it equals the name YAHWEH (YHWH). Yahweh is rising within His people and, consequently, within the nations, giving empowerment to run the race!
God has been guiding His people on a clear path, step by step, with those who have obeyed and followed His direction. The Fall Feasts, which marked the start of the Jewish new year 5786, represented a time of crossing over and moving forward to occupy the promised land—territory promised to us by God.
An Appointed Time to Rise and Advance
November was a transitional month, marking the movement of those who have been tested and refined in fire to overcome the enemies of God. It was the appointed time for us to rise in great faith, take territory, and reclaim what has been stolen.
We have crossed a threshold into a season of strength and courage, a time to rise and inherit the promises of God. We have left the past behind and entered a new land that is defined by a new realm of Kingdom authority gained through obedience in trials and tests.
In preparation for this crossover, God has been building strong teams of resilient people, bound together in relationships that cannot be broken. This has been achieved through the process of iron sharpening iron and submission to God.
Having been established in the Lord's stronghold within the new land, a spiritual beachhead has been secured. Now, we must continue to advance, expanding our borders through faith and taking full possession of the territory entrusted to us. We must fortify and hold the ground we have gained and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Scripture reveals that Israel often failed to maintain their inheritance, losing the territory they once possessed until God raised up deliverers to restore it (see the book of Judges).
We Must Acclimatize
In the stronghold of the Lord, we are anchored in God and positioned for great favor and victory in conquest. Having occupied new territory, I heard God say the word "acclimatize." He is saying we are to become acclimatized to the new land we are now in, with insight and wisdom, as we gain Heaven's perspective on where we stand and receive direction on how to move forward with Him. To cling to the old wilderness mindset keeps us bound and results in a loss of the ground gained. (Photo via Unsplash)
It is essential to understand the dynamics of the new territory we have secured and prepare for the challenges it brings. God is calling us to move forward with faith and precision, continuing to conquer and occupy new ground for the Kingdom. We are now called to rise, stand, and pursue all that Heaven has decreed for our lives, just as David did.
"So David inquired of the LORD, saying, 'Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?'
"And He answered him, 'Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.'" (1 Samuel 30:8 NKJV)
Establish, Occupy, and Maintain Ground
We are moving out to claim territory in our nations during this new season. As we go, we establish, occupy, and maintain that ground—no turning back to the old ways. Joshua faced a great land to conquer and possess, and God encouraged and galvanized Him.
"Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses." (Joshua 1:3 NKJV)
"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them." (Joshua 1:5–6 NKJV)
If God is declaring this word to us personally, "Every place the sole of your foot treads, I have given to you," then there are questions we must consider:
• Where am I willing to go?
• Where am I willing to walk?
• What territory am I willing to occupy for His Kingdom and His glory?
Amid great persecution, the Church in the book of Acts was on the move! God scattered His people like fiery embers; they spread across nations, igniting a new, divine movement. Great grace rested upon them, and signs, wonders, and miracles followed wherever they went! Are we willing to go? Or is persecution necessary to get us to start moving? Heaven is activated when bodies begin to move! The command is clear in Scripture: Be filled with the Holy Spirit and go into all nations.
Take Your Territory: What Mountain Are You Asking For?
Like Caleb, who boldly declared, "Give me this mountain" (Joshua 14:12), we are being summoned to face the giants before us with fearless confidence, believing that with God we are well able to overcome!
What mountain are you asking for? The ground will begin to yield before you when you walk forward in faith. God meets us in the place of our faith and expectation! Life also submits, making room for the courageous to take bold steps of faith. As you press forward, Heaven upgrades you to the level of your vision.
When a decision aligned to God is made in faith, Heaven backs it! As it is written in the book of Job, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" (Job 22:28 KJV). (Photo via Unsplash)
The word "decree" is also translated as "decide," meaning to make a decision and confidently decree it into manifestation. God honors and rewards bold obedience. Without faith, the Word says it is impossible to please Him, and that He will reward those who diligently seek Him (see Hebrews 11:6).
A magnified revelation of Christ lifts us higher and draws us deeper into His glory, strength, and faith. This is not a time for passivity; it is a time for bodies on the move—an advancing army determined to possess and occupy the inheritance prepared for them.
Respite: The Divine Window of Assignment
The Lord gave me the word "respite," which means "a temporary relief," "a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or stressful," and "a delay in the imposition of a sentence."
We have been granted a reprieve—a divine window of pause—to establish Kingdom initiatives and foundations rooted in Christ that will endure and remain unshaken during the shakings prophesied in Scripture (see Haggai 2:6–7; Hebrews 12:26).
A limited window is being given to complete our assignments and lay the foundations for God to work with, preparing us for what lies ahead. Now is the time to strategize with God for the long term. Be secure in your place and confident in your calling. We are not a scattered people. We are the army of the living God, moving in divine order.
It's essential not to waste the time given to us in complacency or building personal kingdoms and pursuing our own agendas. Be ferocious in faith! Pray for a fresh vision to serve in your new territory. Set your gaze on what is eternal, for only what is eternal remains.
