And now…just as I did in the last episode of 2025, I feel led to forego the news segment again. Perhaps we’ll bring it back later, but I just believe God is doing something new right now and I’m inclined to follow His lead. We’re gonna get straight into today’s lesson right after I remind you that you can always find real news and trusted sources featured on the main page of our website – TheGCMedia.com.
Today’s Lesson:
Folks, what I’m about to say to you is something that I feel deeply in my spirit. So please, hear it.
In January of 2024, I remember having the distinct feeling that it would be a year of profound change – a turning of the tide, if you will. Specifically, I felt that God was about to do something amazing within our government and its leadership. I believe He did just that.
Then just before the beginning of 2025, I had a dream which impressed upon me that we would see a large degree of revelations – that the truth would finally come out about many things about which we’d been lied to by the media. Indeed, a great many things were exposed last year, and I also believe there’s still more of that to come.
But what is heavily on my heart for 2026 is even more definite. Folks, I believe now is the time for all of us who claim to be Christians to get serious about our walk with God. What do you mean? I’m serious about that already. No, we have to step it up. Be more intentional about spending time with God. All our time. Don’t let there be even a fleeting moment where He’s not an active part of your routine and decision-making process. I believe there is great deception headed our way this year, and a lot of Christians aren’t ready for it.
What am I saying? We need to power up. I want specifically to talk to those of you who have been professing the Christian faith but still feel a lacking. You know there’s something missing, and you’ve been feeling it more and more in the last months especially. Perhaps you’ve been involved in the church. Maybe you have served as a teacher or a worship leader, and now you are just feeling dry and used up. You know who you are, and this is for you, so keep listening.
There are some of you who feel as if your time of service in the church is now in the past. It’s a part of your life that you feel rather disconnected from at this point – like it was in another lifetime, far removed from where you are now. God wants you to know: He is NOT done with you. In fact, He’s waiting on you to move more deeply into Him. He wants a relationship with you like you have yet to experience. You were always hesitant to get any closer than your comfort would allow. But now it’s time to lay that aside and press in.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, those of you who have not yet received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, for whatever reason – you’re gonna need it in 2026. And if you’re thinking, “Nah, man. I got all of God I need in my life,” you’d better think again. None of us have all we need yet. Dude, that’s an ongoing process. We haven’t arrived yet. I know I certainly need – and WANT – more of Him with each passing day!
Listen to me. I don’t normally talk like this. But on the rare occasion when I do, it’s because I feel compelled to and I must comply. Don’t push back from the table now. You know God is speaking to you. You know you need more of Him in your life. And I’m here right now to tell you that now’s the time because, as this year unfolds, you are going to NEED an infusion of His power. It is vital to your walk. Now like never before.
In the past, you were able to do certain things for the Kingdom without this power. God’s grace allowed you to hold that title of teacher or worship leader or whatever, but things have changed since then. You must let down your guard to the Holy Spirit and let Him completely fill you with His Presence. What lies ahead in 2026 is going to require more from you. A deception is coming that will cause many to stray from the truth. Your old level of belief will be challenged, and without the Spirit’s indwelling, you will be fooled.
Though the Spirit has been tugging at your heart, you are still reluctant. You’re afraid. Perhaps the stigma around having the fullness of the Holy Spirit is what’s holding you back. People speaking in tongues has always freaked you out. You had decided that was just not for you. It’s too weird. It’s a bridge too far, and you are scared to cross it. God’s calling you. He wants to give you that power because you’re going to need it…soon.
Let’s look at the 2nd chapter of Acts. You know the story. The mighty rushing wind. The appearance of fire falling on those in the upper room. The Holy Spirit giving them power, evidenced by how they were enabled to speak in other languages. You believe it happened, but maybe you think that was just for them, there, in that time, and that’s it’s not for us now. You’re focused on the wrong thing. You’re hung up on the tongues because you don’t understand it.
But what does the scripture say? Verses 5 through 12 tells how there were many different peoples nearby that day from different places, and they all heard the voices from the upper room speaking in their own languages. It was a sign of what was happening. And what was happening? The promise of Jesus to His disciples was being fulfilled – they were receiving power as the Holy Spirit began to dwell within them. The tongue-talking was important, but that wasn’t the main point. It was about the POWER!
Please. Hear me. We are in the last days. We’ve all been feeling in our spirits how everything has been changing. The veil that keeps the spirit realm hidden seems to be getting thinner. Yet the atmosphere is thick right now with the Holy Spirit itself. God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. Young people are already seeing visions. Older folks are already dreaming dreams. There is a fresh anointing of the Holy Ghost knocking at your door in this moment, just waiting for you to welcome Him in.
Forget what you thought before about those crazy tongue-talking people. Put aside all the inhibitions you’ve had about accepting the indwelling of the fulness of the Holy Spirit. It’s not about the tongues – it’s about the POWER! You NEED that power. If you thought to yourself, maybe someday I’ll go all in, today is that day. This is your time, my friend.
Open your heart right now – completely. Say, “God, here I am. I’ve been hesitant. I’ve been afraid. But I know You don’t give us a spirit of fear, Lord. You give a spirit of peace and love and a sound mind. So I ask You right now to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I need the fulness of it, Lord. I need that power in my life and in my walk. Prepare me now for everything that’s coming in 2026. Give me what I’ve been missing. I want to be ALL IN now – no more holding back. Empower me and use me for Your purposes. In the mighty name of Jesus, let it be so. Amen!
Consider This:
In light of today’s lesson, I want to draw your attention to the obedience of Mary. We just finished celebrating Christmas, and we all know the story of the angel appearing to Mary and telling her she was to bear a son who would be called “Emmanuel,” meaning “God with us.” She was a young girl at the time. Can you imagine being told the Savior of the world would come through YOU? No doubt she was very nervous about the prospect – about the important duty she would have. Yet she put aside her concerns and told the angel, “Let it be done to me as you have said.”
What was to be done to her? The Holy Spirit would descend upon her, and from that experience she would conceive a child. An immaculate conception, a miraculous virgin birth, and an event that would forever change the world. Certainly, an enormous responsibility for Mary to carry Jesus to term, all while being thought of by many as an unclean girl who had gotten pregnant either by cheating on Joseph or through fornicating with him before their marriage. She knew the truth, as did Joseph after the angel told him, but most people would not have believed it. She had to endure their scorn as well as the burdens associated with being pregnant and the pains of giving birth.
Still, Mary was obedient. She was brave and strong in the Lord. And she gave herself over to the task willingly. Likewise, we must be willing to completely surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit. Why? So that something wonderful can be born from us – a renewed spirit, a righteous desire to fulfill God’s will, and the power and fortitude to get it done. In the midst of it all, we’re gonna face scorn and ridicule. We’ll be hated by the world. But those who persevere to the end will be saved. Only the power of the Holy Spirit inside us can see us through.
As I said, we NEED that POWER. Not only to face what lies ahead, but to become emboldened to reach souls for Christ as time begins to wind down. You can’t lead people to someone without first knowing that someone yourself. More than just a vague familiarity, more than simply claiming to follow Him – but truly KNOWING Him in His Fulness. Some of us still want to lean on our own understanding, but the Bible warns us not to do that. We have to trust God.
How would you gauge your relationship with Jesus? Be honest. Just as the angel told Mary how the Holy Spirit would come into her, God is calling you to accept His Spirit in a way that perhaps you haven’t yet. He wants a closer relationship with you. He wants to impower you, embolden you, and become your constant companion. The status quo isn’t gonna be enough anymore. Do you have the obedience of Mary? Are you willing to let God have His way with your life? Do you trust Him – fully?
