The night of December 31, 2025 to January 1, 2026 was not a simple calendar transition. It was experienced as a spiritual crossing, a solemn passage from one season to another under God\u2019s direction. From the very beginning, a unique atmosphere settled in\u2014one of faith, gratitude, and the certainty that heaven was fully engaged.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The pastor reminded the congregation of an essential truth: God does not operate according to our feelings, but according to our faith. Whether we feel His presence or not, God remains faithful to His Word. The angel of the Lord is sent by divine command, and when God releases a heavenly instruction, it is fulfilled.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
This night marked both:\r\nthe closing of an intense and glorious year, as well as\r\nthe consecration of a new year sealed by the Spirit and by fire.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Before looking toward the future, the Church took time to honor the past. The pastor expressed deep gratitude to all those who faithfully served throughout the year: care teams, intercessors, logistics, media, security, kitchen teams, worship leaders, and department heads.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
A strong message was proclaimed:\r\n\r\nGod forgets no sacrifice.\r\nWhat people may overlook, God records, remembers, and rewards.\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The year 2025 was declared one of the most glorious the community has experienced, with a clear promise: what is coming will be even greater.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The end of the year was marked by 28 days of fasting and prayer, a season of deep consecration. The pastor reminded the Church of an unchanging spiritual law:\r\nEvery sincere fast produces a reward.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Testimonies then poured in, revealing God\u2019s powerful intervention:<\/p>\r\n\r\nlegal cases canceled\r\nimmigration situations unlocked at the eleventh hour\r\nunexpected professional contracts\r\nfamily restorations\r\nsalvations and conversions within families\r\nfinancial and professional breakthroughs\r\ngrace released upon children and youth\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
One theme was repeated again and again:\r\n\ud83d\udc49 The God of the eleventh hour is never late. <\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
These testimonies were not mere stories\u2014they were spiritual weapons, strengthening the faith of the entire congregation and silencing doubt and the enemy.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The pastor took time to teach on a vital yet often misunderstood concept: spiritual honor.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
He reminded the Church that: \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\nGod works on earth through men He appoints\r\nhonoring the authority God establishes is not idolatry but a biblical principle\r\nwhat we do not know how to honor cannot bless us\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
With humility, he reaffirmed that all glory belongs to Jesus Christ alone, and that the man of God is merely an instrument in the Lord\u2019s hands.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
As 2026 began, the tone shifted\u2014the time of declarations had come. The pastor strongly emphasized a crucial spiritual truth:\r\nIf you do not declare anything over your year, someone else will do it for you.\r\nWords carry power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Every new year opens a spiritual window where what will govern the coming months must be established.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n
Through declarations, the congregation was led to:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\nrededicate their life, body, soul, and spirit to Jesus Christ\r\nwillingly submit under divine authority\r\nproclaim sanctification, obedience to the Word, and love for truth\r\ndeclare divine protection and angelic activity throughout the year\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The year 2026 was proclaimed as: \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\na year of elevation\r\na year of transformation\r\na year of victory\r\na year of purifying fire\r\na year of the manifestation of the Spirit\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
A major teaching marked the night:\r\nFaith begins in the mind.\r\nThe pastor taught that:\r\nevery declaration must be accompanied by an inner vision,\r\nthinking small limits God\u2019s work, and that God elevates those who dare to think big according to His will.\r\nThe Church was exhorted to ask not only for blessings, but especially for spiritual secrets, because revelation is what lifts a person from the bottom to the top.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The central prayer of the year was proclaimed:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\u201cLord, reveal to me the secrets I need to excel spiritually and financially.\u201d\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
A prophetic word was released:\r\nto no longer just look at what God shows, to stop, touch, and declare,\r\nto speak over homes, projects, businesses, and needs,\r\nand to activate faith through prophetic actions.\r\nThis simple principle was reaffirmed:\r\nWhat you declare in faith eventually obeys you.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
This night of crossing was far more than a gathering\u2014it was a foundational spiritual act. The year 2026 was not left to chance; it was spoken, consecrated, and established.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The Church entered this new season:\r\naware of its authority,\r\nrooted in the Word,\r\naligned with the Spirit,\r\ndetermined to walk in the fire of God.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The promise is clear:\r\nthose who walk in obedience, faith, and revelation will see signs, wonders, and lasting transformation.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12025,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,29,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-messages","category-prophecy","category-testimonies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12026"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12037,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12026\/revisions\/12037"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
