2026: The Year for Fixed Purpose
Hello!
First off, I want to say a huge THANK YOU for your vital support and, most importantly, your prayers. The great work we're called to do requires all of us, and your partnership is something we deeply value. Please know that we are praying for you every single day and believing for God's absolute best in your life, in Jesus' mighty name!
The word I have to share with you this time is one of hope, help, and destiny. I pray in Jesus' beautiful name that you'll receive what I share as a word from the Lord to get you in the right direction for what's to come—personally, locally, and globally.
After spending time in prayer and meditation, I want to share with you what's on God's heart for now and throughout 2026, which is this:
2026 will be The Year of Fixed Purpose
The Word I received from God to share with you is:
"This will be a year for fixed purpose, says the Lord. It's a year to lock in, sink in, and give up things that are keeping you from fulfilling the call of God on your life. It will be a year to reflect, regroup, refresh, and recalibrate in order to carry out your God-given assignment."
Hebrews 12:1 NLT says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
The word for this year is not just a reminder that you have a purpose; it's a call to be willing to go all in with the Lord to receive that purpose, walk in it, fulfill it, and let it be the dividing line in your life!
To be honest, in all the years I've done one-on-one ministry, the clear dividing line on who receives and who doesn't is this: One simply believes what God has said while the other merely hopes it is true. The difference between faith and hope is being assured—fully persuaded—that God wants you to succeed and will be the one to help you do it. A commission from God isn't just an appointment; it's an invitation to partner with God on what He's called you to do with Him.
Fixed Purpose: Locking In and Sinking Deep
A fixed purpose means to be steadfast, unshakable, and committed to God's call. Younger folks call this "locking in"—and I feel old as I type that! It means being fully focused and not being moved off assignment for one instant.
Lock In (Steadfast)
We see this beautifully in the Word of God with Jesus when it is mentioned in Luke 9:51 that, "he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem." He knew the time had come to fulfill His purpose and no other direction would receive His sight or gaze. You must lock in on your fixed purpose and don't look to the left or the right.
Daniel is another great example! When he purposed not to be defiled by the land he was taken to, Daniel 1:8 says he, "...purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself..." Daniel's fixed purpose was to be so locked in with God that He was the only one he would please or change for. Babylon wasn't going to get into Daniel whether Daniel was in Babylon or not! Because he was set in his fixed purpose, he didn't bend there, and he bent nowhere else, seeing an exponential working of the favor of God in his life.
Sink In (Weight)
What about sinking in? When you go fishing, you add a sinker to the line. What does the sinker do? It heavies and weighs down the line in order for your bait to descend deeper than it could without the added weight.
See, the assignment you have from God, the calling you bear, it MUST come with a weight to it! Not pressure, mind you, but an awareness that while God loves you and has a great future in mind, He also expects you to handle His Glory honorably. This is why the writer of Hebrews says to lay aside sin! Sin, in a nutshell, is anything carried out by thinking less of God's ways than He does. That's really all it is—God is devalued in your life in some way based on what you think or choose to believe. This is why it is vital to remove sin and the weight of life's pressures and instead take on the Lord's call for you. Remember, the Word doesn't say that you're ultimately to be yokeless or answer to no one; it says you are to be yoked with God because His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
You'll carry out everything you're called to do while being hooked up with Him!
The last thing I'll point out is giving up things that are keeping you from fulfilling your call. The biggest thing to express is this: more than sin, more than habits, the biggest thing you must give up right now is the temptation to quit and leaving yourself a Plan A only, with no Plan B.
What do I mean by this?
Maybe you're feeling called to full-time ministry but you have a stable job and you stay another year, worried you can't survive without that revenue.
Maybe you're called to the business space and are called to branch out in a new venture, but the current space is so familiar you can't grasp moving past it mentally.
And there are some of you that have felt like now was the time you need to go ahead and call it quits and retire.
This is the time, right now, that you make the decision that the only person who calls the shots in your life is Jesus! He's Lord of Lords, He has a right to have a say!
Too many times—myself included—I know I've missed what God wanted to do because I chose my own desires over His. That's not only a missed opportunity, it's disobedience! Remember what Isaiah 1:19 says, those who are willing and obedient eat the good of the land! Delayed obedience is still disobedience.
What's funny about this Word from the Lord is this: The Hebrew Year that just started in September is 5786, the year of the hook or peg (Vav). This year, in the decade of the mouth (Pey or 80), means that this is a year where your words are going to harvest or solidify decisions in your life.
The indecision must go; the peg is here to either hold it down, grow it out, or harvest what's been spoken.
That goes right in with being a year of fixed purpose—the peg fixes it, the hook brings in what you say. This is how we lock in, sink in, and give up things that don't profit: say what it is, deal with it, and cultivate what needs grown.
You've got this, God's got you, and we're all standing with you believing for this to be a year where you accomplish 20 years of growth within 1. Say this declaration that I wrote for you to confess:
“Father God, in Jesus' name, I declare that my purpose is fixed, and my life is locked in on Your plan. I lay aside every weight and every distraction that slows me down. I take up the easy yoke of Jesus Christ and commit to Plan A only: Your perfect will. Thank You for the Divine Acceleration and Unstoppable Momentum that will allow me to clear 20 years of work in the next year. I thank You, Holy Spirit, for leading, guiding, and directing me to maximize this time and not waste one minute. In Jesus' precious Name, amen!”
The last thing I wanna do is ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with Born to Win Ministries.
When you sow into this ministry, you’re not just helping us keep the lights on. Because of your financial seed, God counts you as an equal partner in all the outreach we do! All of the thousands of hours we spend preaching and praying, God sees you as the one who's done it.
While you may not be able to volunteer, every person can get involved monetarily by sowing financial seed and expecting a mighty harvest. And you know this ministry—we believe in the hundredfold—so if you get less than that, that’s your problem!
We love you guys so much! Thank you for your faithfulness.
And until we talk to you again, you have the best day in Jesus' Name! Bye-bye!
Jeromiah
