Hello ,
God has declared 2026 a year of special new friendships—unique connections He personally sends to His special friends like you.
These connections invite you to follow His example, love without conditions, and make choices in friendship that honor Him and create
lasting impact.
Following His prophetic promise to His children, I want to be transparent with you about my own friendship struggles because I believe it will help you prepare your heart for what God is bringing.
Whether you've wrestled with loneliness, betrayal, or simply longed for deeper connections, my vulnerable journey through Life Lessons on Healthy Friendships holds insights the Lord gave me in 2025 that are perfect for this season of new beginnings.
New Friendships in 2026
"A new year means new relationships. I am introducing you to new friends. These friends are like none
other.
"Be open to who I send your way.
"These
friendships are unique. They are one-of-a-kind. Special friendships are for special friends. You are MY Special Friend, did you know that?
"It is My desire for you to have a few more special friends in your life this year. Be prepared for them. Get yourself ready to be that special
friend for others.
"It's not what you get, but what you give that really matters.
"What will you be known for?
"I have already decided. Ask Me. You WILL be remembered for what you said and did. Be memorable for My Glory. Whatever you do, do heartily unto Me.
"Follow Me. Imitate Me, and you'll see more of My will come to pass.
"My commandments are obvious. They are Love
Commandments, aren't they?
"With new friendships come opportunities to love one another unconditionally. I'll help you when you ask.
"How would you like your new friends to love you unconditionally? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"Be wise when choosing your friends. You were born into a family you did not
choose, but you are given opportunities to choose your friends wisely.
"Let's start with our friendship, shall we? Since you are a 'Friend of God', then be friendly with others as you are to Me. Selah."
-Your Loving, Friendly, Heavenly Father
Encouragement
, as we enter this new year, the Lord’s heart is for connection — divine appointments, new friendships, and relationships that reflect His love.
This week’s message is a reminder that every godly friendship is both a
gift and an assignment from Heaven.
2026 is a year to be excited about.
Do you remember last week in our Newsletter, we shared the
2026 Word from the Lord? It's attached below for easy reference.
I highly encourage you to read it EVERY day out loud. I've been doing it this year, and it's already made a big difference.
The Lord is setting you up with new, special friends you get to do life with together. So, as you read His Word for 2026, keep in mind how you can apply it in your new friendships.
I’ll be honest—friendships
haven’t always been easy for me. Why?
The Lord revealed to me Life Lessons about Friendships in 2025 that He wants me to share with you now.
I want to be transparent and vulnerable with you as I share my journey, because I know some of you might relate.
Take a moment to read this post and pray about which of these lessons the Lord is highlighting for your own relationships this year.
The Lord has His reasons for sharing these revelations with you. Share them with your loved ones, especially those who have struggled with friendships.
, I've realized the closer I have gotten to the Lord, the more I understand relationships from His perspective. It is His desire for you to know them as well.
Lord, thank You for promising us new friendships in 2026. Prepare our hearts to love unconditionally and to be the kind of
friend You created us to be.
May our conversations and relationships bring glory to Your name. Remind us to share testimonies and praise reports that inspire others.
Reveal Your perfect will for each of us, and help us walk closely with You, our dearest Friend who never leaves or forsakes us. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
We love hearing your testimonies and are honored to serve you through A Transforming Word
Ministries.
Your prayers and financial support make these messages possible each week—thank you for helping us share God’s love and prophetic encouragement with the body of Christ worldwide.
