Dear Battle Ready News Family,
Happy New Year 2026.
As we enter this pivotal new year, we recognize that the shaking reaching into every corner of American life — political, economic, cultural, and spiritual — is not random. It is a narrowing window of mercy before judgment, a time of testing and awakening that demands discernment, prayer, and perseverance.
Jesus said, “Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(Matthew 26:41)
The world is shifting. The nation is strained. But something powerful is emerging.
Trump’s First Year Back: Economic Shift Amid Criticism
In his first year back in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump oversaw what his team calls historic economic progress. Government data pointed to 4.3% annualized GDP growth in the third quarter of 2025, a 79% increase in growth compared to the last quarter of the previous administration. Tariff and trade policies, deregulation, and energy strategy were credited with narrowing the trade deficit — reportedly by 60% — while markets reached new highs and consumer confidence strengthened.
Economists aligned with the administration argue this expansion defied many early predictions of recession or collapse, instead reflecting policy shifts meant to restore economic momentum.
At the same time, discussions around inflation, prices, and job growth continued, with some voters reporting mixed local experiences even as broader macroeconomic numbers improved — underscoring that perception, lived experience, and national statistics do not always align in the same way.
Politically, Trump framed the upcoming midterms as a referendum on pricing and economic accessibility, linking slowing inflation and lower energy costs to his agenda and challenging critics to reconcile improving national data with the daily cost-of-living realities many Americans feel.

A Nation Stirred: Revival in Unexpected Places
While economic narratives dominate secular headlines, something deeper is happening in the spiritual soil of America.
Across denominational lines, Christian leaders are reporting significant upticks in church attendance and engagement. Some congregations are seeing 25 percent, 35 percent, even 50 percent increases in weekly participation, with many doubling or tripling in size in just months.
A recent Barna survey revealed that Generation Z and Millennials now outpace older adults in regular church attendance for the first time in decades, suggesting a demographic shift in spiritual hunger and engagement.
Father Gerald Murray, a Catholic pastor in New York, said this resurgence is being fueled not just by personal conviction, but by events that forced young people to confront existential questions about purpose, truth, and identity. He specifically cited the tragic murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a moment that awakened many to spiritual realities they had long ignored.
Across America — Catholic, evangelical, charismatic — ministers speak of a heightened hunger for Scripture, repentance, and authentic faith that cannot be traced to mere cultural trends. It is unmistakably spiritual.

A Defining, Prophetic Moment: Designated Disrupter
This convergence of political upheaval and spiritual seeking is the central thesis of my new book Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival (Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026). The book lays out a sobering yet hopeful thesis: revival often comes through the unexpected, the controversial, and even the secular — precisely when the established order can no longer contain the spiritual thirst of the people.
Drawing from biblical parallels, historical patterns, and contemporary movements, Designated Disrupter argues that what many see as chaos may be, in God’s economy, the catalyst that finally stirs a sleeping Church and awakens a seeking nation.
This is not a predicted outcome shaped by wishful thinking — it is a discerned pattern seen repeatedly in Scripture and history.
Battle Ready Perspective: Stand, Don’t Retreat
This year calls for more than observation. It calls for readiness.
The shaking of 2025 was not an end — it was a clarifying moment. It clarified: who is anchored in truth, who seeks comfort in crises, and who will stand when conviction matters most.
As believers on the front lines of spiritual warfare, we must recognize that revival and resistance can rise simultaneously. The enemy is not passive, and deception will increase as confusion mounts. But neither is God passive. He is sovereign over the course of nations, the rise of movements, and the stirring of hearts.
We must be prayerful, discerning, steadfast and courageous. Prayer must be our foundation, not our afterthought.
A Word to the Watchmen
As 2026 unfolds, we are committing this year to discernment grounded in Scripture, steadfast prayer in every sphere, bold proclamation of truth, and repentance before judgment.
The battles ahead will not be won by pundits, polls, or policy alone — but by a people who know their God and stand firm in Him.
Now is the time to hold the line, to pray without ceasing, and to stand boldly for truth in every arena God calls us to engage.
Revelation 911 reveals the prophetic signs converging before our eyes—are you ready? The #1 bestseller Revelation 911 (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing) by Pastor Paul Begley and bestselling journalist Troy Anderson connects end-times prophecy with breaking global events. This urgent book calls believers to discern the times, anchor their hope in Christ, and be ready for His soon return
Standing Firm Together
We believe God is not alarmed by what we see — He ordained that His Church would walk through fire and testing before shining brightest.
So as we commit this year to prayer, courage, and obedience — we stand ready. Not in fear. Not in confusion. But in confidence that our God reigns and that His Kingdom will prevail in the earth.
Standing battle ready,

A Battle Ready Prayer for 2026: Standing Firm in the Hour of Decision
Almighty God,
We come before You as soldiers of the cross, fully aware that we have entered a decisive hour. As 2026 begins, we recognize that this is not a time for retreat, complacency, or compromise—but a time to stand, to watch, and to fight the good fight of faith.
Lord, You are shaking the nations, and You are exposing what cannot stand. Tear down every stronghold built on lies, corruption, pride, and rebellion against Your truth. Remove everything that exalts itself above the knowledge of God, and establish what is rooted in righteousness, justice, and reverence for Your name.
We thank You that even in the midst of conflict and chaos, You are raising up a battle-ready remnant—men and women who know their God, who are not afraid of opposition, and who refuse to bow to the spirit of this age.
Clothe us with the full armor of God.
Sharpen our spiritual discernment.
Strengthen our resolve.
Steady our footing on the Rock that cannot be shaken.
Teach us to recognize the true battlefield—not merely flesh and blood, but principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of darkness. Give us authority to stand firm, wisdom to resist deception, and courage to speak truth even when it is costly.
We pray for America. We ask that You would restrain evil, expose corruption, and frustrate the plans of those who seek to undermine truth, freedom, and Your Word. Let righteousness rise. Let justice prevail. Let repentance come before judgment.
Lord, awaken Your Church from slumber. Burn away fear, lukewarm faith, and compromise. Ignite holy fire in Your people once again. Restore bold preaching, unwavering conviction, and uncompromising obedience to Scripture.
As we move deeper into 2026, prepare us not only to endure—but to overcome. Make us watchful, disciplined, and faithful until the end. Teach us to stand our ground, hold the line, and advance Your Kingdom no matter the cost.
We declare that Jesus Christ is King.
We declare that truth will prevail.
We declare that the gates of hell will not overcome Your Church.
We place this year, this nation, and this battle into Your hands.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
