2026 Sermon Notes DP

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.... In the beginning was the Word.

In the beginning... then God said. When God speaks, it changes the landscape. God continues inviting us to deeper relationship. Gen 1: Then God said "Let there be light..." Light on the way. Just a declaration, not up for discussion, not up for debate, life was on the way... Declaration, not an invitation. This is a year of restoration, promotion and elevation... 
God is repositioning and lifting hearts and this past into place into responsibility, fresh authority and his favor. Fresh visibility. At the end of this year, the boundary lines for me in 2026 fell for me in pleasant places and I have a delightful inheritance. There are words that move us and words that change us. There are words that alter the landscape of our lives. Your life literally divide us into before and after. That is because some words flow in us and some words govern us. Some words start a process in our hearts (a word of promise -- I am inviting you into this).... and sometimes there is a word of positioning (every word of God is a word of promise -- he moves you out of position). Sometimes God speaks relationally and sometimes legislatively (judge and father) .. if he speaks like a judge, he has legislative authority in your life, no longer up for debate. A promise plants a seed of your heart but a positioning word carries the substance of your future. Then God said Let there be stars in the sky and we cannot do anything as humanity. All of us are destined to live under them. "Let them govern..."
For some it will be a positioning word and for others it will be an anchoring word. The entrustment of a near assignment is upon you. In 2026 he is handing out fresh assignments. There are things you have dreamed about, wept about, etc. God is accelerating and saying, "The time is now." For some we are trained for our assignment. 
CA- Most of us who live here built a life to survive the life here. There should be a divine assignment -- beyond just survival of the place we live in. 
Pastor speaking over us vs into us.
These are days. 2026 Kingdom territories vs feelings. Feelings are discussed in the dinner tables and territory are demonstrated on the earth. Feelings to territory. The same hand is promoting you to authority. 
Humble yourself under God's mighty hand. Stay there forever? So you can be humble? No.... 
... and in DUE time, that means there is a due time. For those who have been through the fire, who have been crushed and been through the time of humility... in due time he will raise you up. Many believers are comfortable in consecration but have great difficulty in elevation. Many believers want elevation but not consecration. For us as a house we want to receive whatever He gives us. We love Jesus. We don't love consecration or elevation, we love Jesus. Instead of We don't want that, let us say, God let it unto us according to your will.  This is as time of divine elevation. These are days of forgotten lives and tribes find fresh favor in His sight.
"People from the Negev will take over the hill country of Edom; those from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead." Obadiah 1:19
Position to possess.  Gilead - fresh inheritance, a land of healing... precious oils, Moses overlooked. Benjamin was the least of the tribes. Benjamin was almost destroyed. The outside looking in. The least of the tribes. In battle. 
Every tribe when God set it up has its own possession. Benjamin's territory was allocated on the West. Gilead was on the East of the Jordan. God said Benjamin will possess Gilead. It's a big deal in the Bible when God begins to move boundaries and change territories. He is setting up a jurisdiction. Because your territory was your assigned place, your allocated place, the place you had authority to govern. There is a repositioning happening. 
You can watch every preacher and try to preach like them and that would be the dumbest thing bc I don't have their assignment. I could read every book and try to live like them but I don't have their assignment. They don't live where I live. they don't have the relationship I have. I can use their mannerism, imitate them... I can do it all but it's not my assignment. I have no authority to live out their assignment. It is very simple. 
I cannot live like someone like Instagram. Jealousy is me denying that I have an legitimate  inheritance. If I knew what God had for my life I would never be jealous. What does it matter what they have, it only matters what you do with the entrustment given to you. 
This year, get trained for your assignment. IF you are a doctor you have an assigment that is different than a laborer. You have a different training. There is a different calling. God has called you into an assignment.
This is the year of divine reassignment. You have stood in your place of warfare and now it is time for you to be moved into your position of Favor. It is time for the tribes to be in their place. It is time for families to be properly aligned. This is why we prepare in time of consecration. Prepare the altar, prepare the altar. If he raises you up with a fractured altar it changes everything. Character that his favor can rest on. 
He trusts those who have been through the battle. God's favor is universal but he does not give trust to just anyone. 

1. A year of divine re-orderign. the new cannot be defined by the boundaries of the past, the old order. It is breaking through the boundaries. God is removing the boundaries that we built to survive one season so that he can bring us into what he has for us. Mom built a boundary to survive raising kids a certain way. Single person vs married. You bring boundaries to the season you're in bc you're living your life according to the boundary you are discerning. 
You got it all backwards - your spouse was your gift, your children raised you... 

From the heavenly perspective is so different than what we can see in our lives. He got us through that season for training. Get ready for training into the new assignment. You cannot take the old connection into the new possession. You cannot take the old perspective into the new position. Benjamin WILL possess Giliead. Benjamin would have protested that - that is NOT my territory. God knows what he spoke to Moses and Jacob and you will possess Gilead. But God this breaks every rule in the book, etc. 
Forget the former things! Do not dwell in the past. This is not an improvement of what you had before. We live linearly. What did I build last year, what will it lead to next year? Life does not work that way. If it worked linearly, your hard work would lead to good finances etc. God enthrones. God can take someone who was ruling for a region and pull them down and put them in prisoner. God does that in a moment. It doesn't matter how we live, it is God who determines what we receive. It is God who safeguards and protects my family. God is not just giving us another version of last year. He is giving us a vision and revelation for THIS year. 
2. God is redrawing our inheritance. A divine topographer who draws maps. He determines territories. He is handing out maps and territories to people's hearts. This is the assignment I have for you. This is what I'm calling you to today. I am going to do things in your life that is off the old map. You have been working based on a map of how you think life will work. 
But God does not work that way. Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. Time to leave the old perceptions if you want to move into the new possession. Unexpected territories are being added to your territory. No way that Benjamin is declaring or thinking Gilead is going to be his. Never once entered his mind that that was a possibility.... in fact, everything seemed impossible. What God is giving to us no longer fits what we have now. Jesus stretch me for the new you have assigned. Because I think I've got it and I ain't got it. Pour new wine, I think i deserve it but I don't. Remove the boundaries that I've built to survive a season that is no longer mine. There is no such thing as a retirement season. There is only a revelation season. I have never given you an inheritance of a complainer. I don't care if you're right winged or left-winged... God's wing is the only one I will abide under. The governance is changing this year. This is not just politically. New realm of governance this year. God is doing more behind the scenes than you can imagine. Why are you looking to those who do not have my spirit to govern when I have given you the spirit? It is easy to criticize the governance of another. Usually it's because you have ignored the governance responsibliies that God has given you. God of the impossible is opening up what you did not think was available. This is a time for preparing for possession. 
Kingdom theories --> Kingdom territories
There is a time for contending, and a time for possessing. 
The divine jurisdiction is already prepared. God is calling you to High places. 
There is a season for preparation... 

Let this fast be one of anticipation. He will fill you with good things. The purposes of God is drawing near. Let go of the old grief. These are new days with new wine.  You have never stood here, you have never tasted this wine before. It is new wine. Get ready. Fast in anticipation. The promise of God. Let go of the old grief, lay down the familiar. Reposition with awe and anticipation. The one who hid you with his mighty hand will lift you up. 
This will be a year of restoration, reposition, reassignment, reversing the plan of the enemy over your life, reordering, release, and the will of God in a fresh way in your life. The time is now. 
Forget what is behind... 
You would lay hold of us... give us the spirit of wisdom and understanding and discernment you will see what God has already settled for us so we do not have to strive for what is already ours. There is a season to contend, but there is a season to listen to the judge decree what is in your favor. you begin possessing. Most season have one gear and it is the gear of contending. When a matter is settled you go and pray about it. When that happens you give the enemy the power to sow doubt into your heart you are praying for something that is already decreed. Gilead - Hill of testimonies. Standing on the hill at the end of 2026 and see it. 
These are not the days of glimpses, these are the days of possessing. Why does that matter? 
Two significant stages of warfare in your life. First - when you enter something. The enemy will seek to prevent you from entering that thing. There is always warfare. Warfare from you enteirng. It's supposed to be hard -- it's a sign you're entering territory. Strategic warfare from the enemy to prevent you to enter the place you are meant to enter. YEar 2 - warfare of establishing so that you can rule and reign in that territory. It's ok for your to be nomadic in that... but he doesn't want you to possess it. 

You are not in transition. You are either in the right place or wrong place. Jesus did not spend any time in transition. God has arranged each one in the body according to his divine purpose. I am positioned in the body according to the divine purpose. The circumstances might be unsettled but I know the word that governs my life and it is settled. therefore I have a responsibility to go before his throne, hear his governor word and get hold of what his word has said and if he said it I will stand on it and stand on it until he says something different. For some of us, it is time to move on from CA, from job, etc... Marriage / family = covenent relationship... but circumstances things God might be saying it. 
Remantling: It's a remantling. when a mantle is on something it has to be remantled before a new mantle is given. It has to be dismantled before a new is given, Otherwise B never possesses G. Elijah was born in Gilead. Elijah one of the first of the prophets... greatest of the prophets... The prophetic strengthens, encourages, and establishes. The prophetic voice has to govern when you are being established. I love when people say nice things to me, doesn't mean it's prophetic. The prophetic establishes. A word that leaves His mouth and enters your heart. You're swimming in those words. Healing: God will do remarkable things, healing in your life... God gives wisdom to those who have been through battle and know what it means to be afflicted and who are not seeking to possess the things culture seeks to possess... INSTITUTION beyond individual. Giving more than they have bc faith. 
This year, your inheritance will come from your rest.
This year, you will have kindness and compassion bc you have bled before, You will shepherd others. 
Divorce from the idols from the culture and divorced of Christianity and politics. 
I need the honor of the Lord after being in battle with my family.
I need elevation 
trumpet to my lips, I declare... 
What you call humble I call humble, what you love I love
God I receive a prophetic awakening from you

This year is not your battle, this year is your reward 
The sword this year is for those who have been through the fire. 
Open up the door, let the music play, let the streets resound with singing
Dancers who dance upon injustice
