A TIME OF MERCY – WRITE THE VISION – TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND WALK IN YOUR AUTHORITY
Tuesday – January 13, 2026

I will continue today with what the Lord is saying to the Church through me about 2026 and beyond. There is only one entity on the earth that can stop and reverse the moral freefall of this nation and the world. That entity is the Church, each of us individually and corporately in our groups, but it will not occur in the present condition of the Church, body of Christ. We must occupy the gates of Hell at whatever level we currently occupy in our God assigned mountains. We should be the go to problem solver in whatever sphere of influence we are currently assigned.
As I have been asking the Lord about this and meditating upon it, I believe He has brought three things to mind. First, He reminded me of two prophecies He had given me and the King Cyrus of our time. Second is a recent sermon the theme of which stirred me concerning our God given vision. And third there are two sacred cows (there are many more) that much of the Church believe to be true but are not. I will continue today discussing the false doctrine that God is in control. This doctrine is so dangerous because it intertwines with the second sacred cow the exercise of our authority. Many Christians don’t believe we individually or corporately have authority, but the Bible says we do. Stay tuned.
We make the same awful mistakes of Adam and Eve choosing words other than those of God, what I have called sacred cows in my book “Sacred Cows Among The Ekklesia” and these teachings. Over the centuries the Church has believed and acted upon another gospel creating many sacred cows. The end result is a curse ridden Church and a powerless Church individually and corporately. Remember, these sacred cows are things we believe to be the Truth but are in reality traditions of men and doctrines of demons and therefore devoid of power. Are our Churches filled with demonstrations of the Power of God or a lot of talk about the Power of God and talk of a moving of the Holy Spirit which generally is an acting out in the flesh and mob hysteria?
Before I end this teaching, I want to deal with the word “sovereign”, a “Sovereign God”. This word does not appear in Scripture (King James Version) but the idea does appear in Scripture. So, what does the word mean. The dictionary defines ‘sovereign’ as a supreme ruler, the thesaurus gives several synonyms including the following: independent, self-governing, supreme, absolute, and matchless. There is no question that these describe our God. The problem is this. There is a jump from the idea of one with far superior power and authority to them using that power and authority to forcibly manage the details of our individual lives and the affairs of the earth. One might exclaim: “well He knows what we are going to do before we do it!” That being true is a far cry from making us do something. We are free-will beings, He created us that way, and He will not infringe on that, the devil cannot, and neither can other people. Every parent knows that having the power and the authority does not ensure the obedience of the child to the will of the parent being done.
I want to share two more Scriptures and then we are done.
Psalm 91:1-2 (KJV)
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Did you notice that you must say that the Lord is your refuge, your fortress, and that you trust Him for it to exist? Of course, it has to be said in faith (fully persuaded) walking in love.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Again, did you notice that you must say, you must speak to whatever the problem is before you. When you do in faith, walking in love, lead of the Spirit it will be removed. Are you speaking His protection into your life and He is removing the mountains in your life according to His Words in your mouth. Quit begging the Lord to give to you what is already yours. He has given you His authority use it for the Kingdom of God for the glory of God.
TAKE HOME:
- God knows all but has never once forced anyone to do His will or not do His will. Never once has He violated the free will of a person.
- Do you speak to the mountains in your life, or do you beg God to remove them?
- Remember we are in a God given time of mercy and grace with a modern-day King Cyrus lets change and change this nation and the world hastening the coming of the Lord.
- Inquire of God for His vision of your life, for 2026, write it down and run with it.
- The God is in control, and He has authority in the earth are false doctrines.
Lord willing, I will return tomorrow and we will start a study of the Book of James. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
