No Fix in 2026: God Is in the Mix

Zechariah 4:1–7 (NIV)

Zechariah 4 lampstand symbolizing Spirit-led flow

"Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty." – Zechariah 4:6

Get in the mix in 2026. The vision given to Zechariah reveals a divine mixture: a solid gold lampstand, a bowl at the top, seven lamps with channels for oil, and two olive trees standing faithfully on either side. At first glance, the elements may seem mismatched, but God declares that victory does not come through human effort, it comes by the Spirit of the Lord Almighty.

Mountains level before Zerubbabel. The capstone is brought forth with shouts of blessing. This is a prophetic invitation for 2026: move from observation into participation. Enter life fully through partnership with the Holy Spirit tapping supernatural power, spiritual fruit, divine gifts, and collaborative flow. God is in the mix.

Firstly: Intentions

Clarity of intention prevents confusion. Mix-ups happen when desires are vague. Sit with yourself and hold a sacred meeting about what you truly desire. The psalmist declares, “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after.” When you pray, believe you receive, and it shall come to pass. God discerns not only actions, but the intentions of the heart.

Intentions differ from resolutions. Intentions clarify desire, release control, and trust God to provide what is best at the appointed time or sooner. Examine the why behind your actions: thoughts (Thinking), words (Theology), and behaviors (Treatment). Let go of living for approval. Get in the mix with clear, Spirit-aligned intentions.

Secondly: Ingredients

Once intentions are set, identify your ingredients. These are your qualities, virtues, strengths, gifts, talents, skills, and abilities. Everything required already resides within you. There are no shortcuts, knockoffs, or substitutes for authenticity.

People notice when ingredients change. “This doesn’t taste like it used to.” Bring your full self to the table. Declare, “I recognize my ingredients. I know what I bring to this mix.” In the vision, the olive trees supply oil continuously fueling the lamps without human striving. Align your thoughts, words, and actions with your true ingredients.

Thirdly: Integration

Integration is where intentions and ingredients meet the Spirit’s power. The vision reveals channels constant flow, no effort, no fixing. God completes the work. Mountains fall. Capstones rise. Blessings echo.

Some combinations won’t make sense to the mind, but trust that God is in the mix. Move from observer to participant in your one life to live. The Holy Spirit offers warnings, instructions, and confirmations. Tap the fruit of the Spirit for character, the gifts of the Spirit for power, and divine partnership for true identity humanity blended with divinity.

Conclusion

Enter 2026 by the Spirit: set clear intentions (Thinking), bring authentic ingredients (Theology), and integrate fully (Treatment). Not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit, mountains are removed and abundant, eternal life flows.

Declare it and live it—God is in the mix.

No Fix in 2026:
1. Do not try to fix me.
2. Do not try to fix it.
3. Do not try to get a fix.

📖 Reflection: Where might you be striving to fix what the Spirit is inviting you to trust and integrate?

💡 Action Step: Write down one clear intention for 2026, name your authentic ingredients, and consciously invite the Holy Spirit into the integration.

Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture: Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

Where Is the Love? One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today. In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:21 (KSB) Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions? Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
