DAY 1 OF 10 DAYS OF PRAYER 26'

Good morning. It’s 2026, and today is Day One of our 10 Days of Prayer.
I want to tell you, I’m asking the Holy Spirit to help me here, because I want to share something that is very, very important.

Just yesterday, I woke up at 4:30 a.m., and I thought, Oh wow—4:30. I hate waking up that early. But instantly, it felt like a blanket was put over me. It wasn’t a physical blanket, but it felt like a weighted blanket pinning me back down onto the bed. And God began to speak to me.
Right away—very strongly—He said, “I want you to rest.”

As He spoke, God began to give me a blueprint for what is coming in the next year. It was powerful—one of the strongest encounters I’ve ever had in my life. Even now, just talking about it, I can feel the presence of God again. It’s significant.
Here’s what He said. He said, “Rest.”


Then He took me to Zechariah 4:6–7:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord.
Then He said, “Who are you, O great mountain, before Zerubbabel?”
And He said, “I want you to speak to this mountain. It will become a plain. You will speak grace—grace to this mountain.”

We are Grace Church, but we are entering into a grace of rest—the finished work of Christ.

Matthew 11:28–29 says, “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
The Message says, “Are you tired? Burned out on religion?”

There are many people burned out on religion—people who genuinely want to connect with God, but religion has stood in the way. Instead of opening a door, it has hindered the hunger of their hearts. Rest is going to be how we break through.
Jesus said, “Take My yoke and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

There is going to be a strong rest on 2026. That’s a big deal—for me, and for us.
God showed me that Moses didn’t enter into the promise—didn’t enter into inheritance—because he was still operating from an old paradigm. He knew how to strike the rock and get results. But when it came time to enter the promise, he struck the rock again—when he was supposed to speak to it.
And I really felt the Lord saying, “Karl, we are entering a new season.”

We are in the Father’s house. This is an asking economy.
Not a striving economy.
Not a proving economy.
You are a son in His house.
And in the Father’s house, it is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

I felt this strongly—the centurion understood this. He said to Jesus, “Just speak the word.” If the status has substance, then the authority of your voice brings manifestation.
And the Lord is saying: it’s time to move from status to substance.
Creation is groaning—not just for sons to know who they are—but for that identity to rise upon them, so that who we are becomes visible, tangible, and transformational.
This is what the world is groaning for.
And it will bring freedom to a broken world.
It’s going to be a ridiculous—and incredible—year.
We are entering a new season. Prodigals are coming home—not just the prodigal who left, but the one who stayed.

You cannot blow your inheritance. Inheritance doesn’t come in portions. There is no scarcity in the Kingdom—only abundance.
When you come home, you don’t come home to serve. You come home as a son.
And the older brother—the one trapped in religion—is coming into the house too. The slavery mindset is breaking. God is not a slave master. He is a Father.
Both sons are coming into the house.
Both sons are being united in freedom.
I know this is a lot—but I needed to give it to you.

The Lord told me this: the first responders to this rest will be the lepers—the broken, the untouchables.
And He said, “I want you to touch them.”
There will be a massive transference of God’s goodness and His Kingdom.
Then the Lord said something unexpected: “Change your passwords.”
The access is different now.
I literally am changing my passwords. He gave me a new one—but I can’t share it with you! There is new access.
Then as I tried to get up to write this down—because my phone was dead—He pushed me back down and said, “AI.”
I thought, Of course—AI.
But He said, No. A different AI.”
Angelic Interaction.
Not just interaction—but intervention and interruption.
There will be increased angelic activity. I asked the name of my angel, and he said, “Waldo,” which means powerful ruler—one who gives access.

Around the same time, I had just gotten a new wallet—one that protects your cards, blocks access, and has an AirTag so you always know where it is.
And the Lord said, “You didn’t do that—I did.”
He said, “I am guarding your finances. I am protecting what’s in your hands. I’m blessing everything you touch.”
There were things He asked me to do as signs of embracing this season—and I did them.

This is a season of unprecedented breakthrough—but God wants partnership. He wants us to believe.
Another thing He said to me was autism. He said the roots behind it are going to be exposed and dealt with, and we are going to see healing—real breakthroughs in our community.
We’ve already seen significant healings—especially in cancer—and we’re going to see even more.

Then He spoke to me about London.
London, Ontario—named after London, England.
The place where the lion once roared.
Where the sun never set on the empire.
And the Lord said, “The sun will never set on your influence.”
From this London, there will be global influence. This will not be a weak copy—but a powerful hub of apostolic activity. We will see the reign of God exercised.

This is the season where status becomes substance.
Where sonship becomes visible.
Where the glory upon us transforms the world around us.
So I’m laying this down before you.

Pray with me.
Engage with this.
Thank you for embracing these 10 Days of Prayer.
Come on—pray with me.
Let’s agree.
Let’s proclaim it.
Let’s declare it.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
