A 2026 WORD FOR HOPE CITY

A year of returning, restoration and GREAT JOY

It’s a year of the church returning to their first love
It will be a year anchored in the love of the Father marked with rich intimacy 
Son and daughters will be awakened
Hearts will be healed and set free
Holy Hunger will being stirred by the power of the Spirit 
Hope unshakeable will arise through the generations in the glory of God for the glory of God

It’s a year of restoration 
Pieces that have been scattered will quietly and supernaturally be put together by the redeeming work of His Spirit
Relationships from the Lord will be mended by the workings of His grace
Marriages that are broken will be transformed and put back together the Spirit of God

It’s a year of GREAT JOY marked by the presence of God
This will be a year marked by JOY unspeakable full of glory that overflows from the presence of
God within your life and within the church
Your JOY is returning and weariness is leaving says the Lord
You will dance again
You will shout again
You will dream again
You will live again
You will testify again about the God of all Hope and His promises being fulfilled 

It’s a year of promises fulfilled 
What was dormant is coming back to life
What seemed stagnant is being revitalized 
What looked barren will bear fruit again 
So rejoice in the Lord church, again and again REJOICE

It’s a year marked by the presence of God
The true worshippers are arising

It’s a year of purpose lived out
Dreams you thought were gone forever will come alive in your heart again
Holy courage and supernatural strength will come upon you to step out and in 
Within this purpose being lived out you will find your fulfilment again says the Lord
Only be strong and courageous for I am in you and within you 

It’s a year of multiplication 
I’m not just building a church
I’m forming a family 
You will be known as a house of Hope marked by the love of the Father
The loves me, one another and others WELL.

I’m stirring up the waters by my Spirit 
Many will get saved 
Many will get healed 
Many will get set free 

So put your hand to the plow Hope City
Not one of you, not two of you, I’m calling all of you
Arise, take your place, now is the time and I’ve chosen you
As a people for my glory, my honour and my praise
