God has instructed me to share the word He has placed on my heart for 2027. The word for 2027 is "Take a Risk!" Taking a risk means stepping out and doing the things God has placed in your heart, even when they feel uncertain or uncomfortable. Some of these decisions may seem so significant that once you move forward, there may be no turning back. But here's what we must understand: Nothing is risky from God's perspective. What feels like a risk to us is actually an opportunity to exercise our faith and trust in Him. Think about Peter walking on water. From Peter's perspective, stepping out of the boat was incredibly risky. But from Jesus' perspective, there was no risk. Jesus had already told Peter to come. All Peter needed to do was trust Him. I believe God is calling us to fully embrace our callings in every area of our lives. When I say "take a risk," I'm not just talking about business or entrepreneurship. I'm talking about marriage, relationships, parenting, ministry, nonprofits, and every other area where God has given us an assignment. There are things God has placed in our hearts that we've been hesitant to pursue because they feel risky. But His instruction for 2027 is simple: Take a risk. Trust Him. Step out in faith and do what He's called you to do. I believe we're entering a season when believers must become more intentional about fulfilling their God-given callings. There are people we're called to serve, relationships we're supposed to develop, and assignments we're meant to fulfill. We cannot allow fear, uncertainty, or comfort to keep us from doing what God has placed in our hearts. It's time to be bold, trust God, and move forward. As we prepare for 2027, we're going to dedicate our Monday prayer gatherings throughout the remainder of 2026 to praying over the coming year. We'll specifically be praying for the faith, clarity, and boldness to become risk-takers. Now, being a risk-taker doesn't mean failure is impossible or that every decision will turn out exactly as we expect. It means we're willing to trust God and move forward in faith, even when we don't know how everything will work out. Again, nothing is risky to God, but it can certainly feel risky to us. That's why faith is so important. God wants us to develop the boldness to step out and do what He's calling us to do. I felt strongly that God wanted me to release this word now so we could begin preparing our hearts for the coming year. Over these next two months, we're going to cover this word in prayer, allowing God to strengthen our faith and prepare us for what lies ahead. My prayer is that when January 2027 arrives, we'll be full of faith, confident in God's direction, and ready to take action. We're going to be risk-takers in 2027! We're going to trust God, step out in faith, and boldly pursue everything He has placed in our hearts. The word for 2027 is "Take a Risk!"
