Prophetic Word for 2026 — Eliel: My God Is God
Written by
Samuel & Megan de Beer
I sense the Lord saying that 2026 is a year of holy alignment that will determine the inheritance of the next generation. This is not merely a year of activity or expansion, but a year where God is calling His people to answer a defining question: Who is God to you when responsibility increases? The name Eliel, meaning “My God is God,” is being highlighted—not as a new revelation of who God is, but as a response He is requiring from those who already know Him. Scripture shows that this name was carried by warriors, leaders, Levites, and gatekeepers—people entrusted with responsibility, order, and stewardship. In the same way, the Lord is calling forth a people who will move from compromise into responsibility, from passion into structure, and from gifting into governance.
I sense that fire is coming down—not to destroy the Body of Christ, but to purify it. This is holy fire that cleanses altars, exposes mixture, and removes divided allegiance. What cannot stand in purity will not be carried forward. This fire is mercy, because God is securing what will be handed to sons and daughters yet unborn. As the fire moves through hearts, ministries, worship, leadership, and intercession, the Lord is re-establishing order so that His glory can rest without collapse. Purity will precede power, and alignment will precede inheritance.
At the same time, I see warriors arising, not driven by noise or reaction, but positioned with clarity and discipline. These are not warriors of impulse, but warriors of order—men and women forged in hidden seasons, trained through pressure, and refined through obedience. Alongside them are sons being positioned—not sons of ambition, but sons of alignment—those entrusted with gates, watchfulness, stewardship, and long-term vision. The Lord is forming spiritual headquarters: places of prayer, counsel, discernment, and strategy, where intercession shifts from reacting to crises to architecting the future. This is a season to plan beyond the immediate battle and contend for decades ahead.
The spiritual atmosphere of this year is captured in Psalm 47: God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. Because God is enthroned, praise will become warfare, worship will establish dominion, and strategy will replace striving. The Lord is aligning His people under His reign so that what is built now can safely carry future generations. What is confessed and aligned in this season will become inheritance later.
The declaration the Lord is listening for is simple, but costly: My God is God. Those who can say this not only with their words, but with their lives, structures, decisions, and obedience, will be entrusted with influence and responsibility in the years ahead. This is not just a word for one year—it is a foundation being laid. 2026 is the alignment year that sets the next generation. Deuteronomy 30:19- “ *I call the heavens and the earth to witness about you today*, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Therefore, choose life so that *you and your descendants may live*, by loving Adonai your God, listening to His voice and clinging to Him.”
Heaven and Earth will witness with us in this season for us and the generations to come…
