Vision for 2026!

1. Be like Lucy:  the one who never doubted, loved Aslan from day one, followed Aslan without question and trusted Aslan implicitly. Lucy represents the childlike faith we are supposed to have. She is the foundation of what it means to follow Christ throughout the entire Narnia series. We need to be more like Lucy. (Matthew 18:2-4, Mark 10:14-15, Luke 18:16-17)

Matthew 18:2-4, He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

2. Know your calling: Do you know your calling? Do you know your assignment? If you don't, the enemy will question you on it and use it against you until you do. You need to know it, understand it and stand on it . Furthermore, if you are married, you need to know and understand your spouse's calling, so you will know how to pray for them daily, because your spouse's calling may not be the same as yours. Once you know and understand it, then you will be able to understand why the enemy will attack you in certain areas of your life; and you'll know how to stand against it. Romans 8:28-39. v. 28, He has called us, nothing but good works for us, in His name.  v. 31, since He is for us, nothing can stand against us. Nothing in the entire universe can stand against you. vv. 31-39, Christ through His grace and sacrifice has given us all things, thus v. 28, all things work for us, and nothing shall ever separate us from Christ because of His sacrifice. 

Romans 8:28,31 & 39, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are and shall always be more than conquerors. Know you are called! If you don't understand what your calling is, this year understand what it is. Eph. 4:11-12, So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

Chasing after the first goal will reveal the second goal for this year. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia (1 Peter 2:9). Lucy never doubted and neither should you.
