Speak Life Over Your Year: 2026 Is Yours to Claim

As we step into January 5, 2026, I want to speak directly to the heart of anyone who may be feeling the weight of the new year already. For some, the excitement fades quickly. The “new year, new me” energy doesn’t always last, and the new year blues can quietly creep in. But I want you to know this truth today: you have more power than you realize.

The enemy desires to rob, kill, steal, and destroy, especially at the beginning of a new season. He works through discouragement, negative thoughts, fear, doubt, and distraction. But God has already given us authority, and that authority begins with the words that come out of our mouths.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

What you speak, you create. What you declare, you invite. What you consistently say, you begin to believe. This is why it is so important to guard your words and speak life over your year. We must learn how to speak it until we see it, declare it until it is established, and believe God even when circumstances don’t yet reflect the promise.

The Word of God teaches us to speak those things that are not as though they are. That means you don’t wait until everything looks perfect to believe. You don’t wait until everything is aligned to declare victory. You speak faith now. You speak peace now. You speak healing now. You speak abundance now. You speak clarity now.

And just as important as what you speak is who you allow around you.

If there are people in your circle who are not feeding you positive words, not building your faith, not encouraging your growth, and not helping you grow spiritually, this is your season to release. Release the conversations that drain you. Release the connections that keep you stuck. Release the voices that speak doubt instead of destiny.

This is not about bitterness. This is about boundaries.

Let go and let God have His way. Some relationships were never meant to go into your next season. They were hindering your growth, delaying your healing, and interfering with your walk with God. And that ends now.

2026 is not about proving anything to anyone else. This year is about you. Your healing. Your growth. Your peace. Your faith. Your obedience. Your purpose.

This is the year to protect your mind, guard your heart, and speak life over every area of your life. Don’t allow negative thoughts to settle. Don’t agree with discouragement. Don’t partner with fear. Replace every lie with truth. Replace every doubt with faith. Replace every negative word with a declaration rooted in God’s promises.

Make 2026 the year you finally choose you. Choose your peace. Choose your growth. Choose your healing. Choose your relationship with God above all else.

Speak it. Declare it. Believe it.

And watch God establish it.

With love & gratitude
