Today’s Reading:
Psalm 24
Psalm 97
Daniel 12
Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place? Those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure. They will receive Yahweh’s blessing and righteousness given by the Savior-God. They will stand before God, for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob. Pause in his presence
Psalms 24:3-6 TPT
As I was in prayer, seeking the Lord for His heart I heard,
Magnify the Name of the Lord all you saints. Come into His gates with thanksgiving, and enter His glorious courts with praise. Approach the King in purity, with clean hands and a pure heart, with pure lips and the Mind of Christ.
Then I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
A fierce commitment to purity is falling on My lovers and is required in this hour. Just as I said that Satan has nothing in Me, so should he have nothing in you. You should be slippery and un-grippable to the devil. Be one whose purity shines so bright.
The light of My Presence and the anointing oil of my favor are being poured out generously upon your life. This is a great offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy. He cannot approach pure light.
All around him burns a blazing glory-fire consuming all his foes. When his lightning strikes, it lights up the world. People are wide-eyed as they tremble and shake. Mountains melt away like wax in a fire when the Lord of all the earth draws near. Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky!
Psalms 97:3-6 TPT
This has been a season of warring and resisting the enemy. But I Am moving you now into a much more advantageous position. Worship. Praise. Speak golden words of truth, love, purity, honor and blessing. Watch as My anointing on your life, the oil of My favor comes so heavily and My Presence and My glory shines so brightly on you, that the enemy cannot come near you. Purify your heart to make this possible. A pure heart, clean hands and clean lips is the requirement, is what qualifies you for what I Am pouring out in this time.
Listen, you lovers of God! Hate evil, for God can keep you from wrong and protect you from the power of wickedness. For he sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers, and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God! So be glad and continue to give him thanks, for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.
Psalms 97:10-12 TPT
As you remain in purity, as you choose purity, love and the Spirit of the Lord without mixture, I will cause you to shine brighter than the sun, and the forces arrayed against you will turn tail and run. They will have to flee, because they cannot tolerate the glorious light of My Presence. They cannot grab hold of that which is thickly and richly covered in the oil of My favor. This is a special anointing, a special dispensation for My lovers who choose rightly, who cling to and desire and pay the price to remain in purity. For these it will become very obvious that Satan is a defeated foe.
How to Respond
- Purify yourself in partnership with the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit guide me. Help me. I want to be one with clean hands, clean lips and a pure heart. I want to be one who shines brightly because of the nearness of Your Presence in my life. Help me to cut through the noise and hear only Your voice. You know the intensity of the war that has been waging in my life. Help me to be one who is so committed to purity and truth that the anointing oil of Your favor makes my life impossible for the enemy to grip and causes him and those with him to flee.
- Declare, Those who are wise will shine radiantly as the sky at midday. And those who turn many to the way of righteousness will shine brightly as stars for all eternity.
Daniel 12:3 TPT - Decree, I choose purity. I choose light. I choose to have clean hands, clean lips and a pure heart before the Lord. The Lord is moving me from a time of intense battle that required me to resist the enemy to a time of the great anointing of His favor on my life that makes it impossible for the enemy to draw near to me or to grip me. The bright light of the Lord’s Presence in my life will cause the enemy and those with him to flee. This is a time where the Glory of the Lord and the anointing of His great favor will be clearly seen.
