THE TRUMPET OF LIFE!
This year – 2026, like other years, will have it’s own challenges; before we are smitten, God is before us and sees/knows all things, before they are in the physical!
“Everything happens in the spirit first”
The idea that “things occur in the spiritual realm first” is a core concept in many faith traditions, suggesting spiritual realities precede and influence the physical world, with examples like spoken words manifesting physically, divine plans established before creation (like in Christianity’s view of Christ), and spiritual battles preceding earthly events. It means your spiritual state (faith, words, actions) sets the stage for your physical experience, requiring faith to see beyond current physical limitations to the spiritual reality where things are already “done” or being worked out.
Core Beliefs & Interpretations
- Creation & Purpose: Some beliefs hold that spirit beings and purposes existed before physical creation, with the spiritual realm generating the physical.
- Manifestation: Words spoken in faith (e.g., “speak love and health”) are seen as already done in the spiritual realm, waiting to manifest physically, as described in Proverbs 13:3.
- Spiritual Warfare: Spiritual battles are considered ongoing, with victories and defeats happening in the unseen realm before affecting people’s lives.
- Spiritual vs. Natural Order (1 Corinthians 15:46): Some interpret this scripture as “First the natural, then the spiritual,” meaning physical action in faith precedes the supernatural manifestation, while others focus on the spiritual creating the natural.
Key Actions & Mindsets
- See Beyond the Physical: Focus on God’s word and the unseen spiritual reality rather than just outward appearances.
- Speak & Act in Faith: Use words and take actions aligned with the spiritual outcome you desire, believing it is already happening.
- Spiritual Disciplines: Practices like prayer, consecrating your heart, and discerning spirits help align with the spiritual realm.
In essence, this perspective emphasizes that the unseen spiritual world holds the blueprint or reality that eventually unfolds in the tangible, physical world.
Our challenges are known only to God before they occur; we are taught to commit everything to God in prayer.
Philippians 4:6-7 is a famous Bible passage advising believers not to be anxious but to bring every concern to God through prayer, petition, and thanksgiving, resulting in “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,” guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. It offers a practical method for handling worry: replace fretting with focused prayer, making requests known to God with grateful hearts, leading to a divine calm that protects your inner self. It’s an invitation to turn anxieties into prayers, expressing needs with thanksgiving, and finding peace through reliance on God.
What it means:
- Don’t worry, pray: Instead of fretting, actively bring your situations to God.
- Be specific: Make your requests known to God with thanksgiving for what He has already done.
- Find peace: The promise is that God’s peace, which surpasses understanding, will guard your heart and mind.
Key Bible Verse: Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus".
How to do it:
- Acknowledge your feelings: Admit your anxiety, fear, or need.
- Turn worries into requests: Rephrase your concerns as specific prayers to God.
- Give thanks: Include thankfulness for past blessings and for His presence.
- Trust for peace: Believe that God will provide peace beyond your understanding.
If the bible warns us to beware of the END-TIME SIGNS, no doubt, it’s an impending DANGER but the GOOD NEWS is that there’s a way out even if it happens.
Various rains and floods are a part of life though we do not know the details. Only those who run to Christ have the hope of glory; no matter their troubles here on Earth, God’s input of mercy will sustain and preserve us for eternity. How? We will know how to run from Sin! Are you there?
The truth? Chasing and TRUSTING in the FALSE SECURITY of one’s lusts and fantasy is mostly perilous like the NOAH’S days… so, get on board with CHRIST, let Him take you to your destination in this 2026!
The Lord is our REFUGE!🙌🙏🔥
