Today’s Reading:
2 Corinthians 3
2 Corinthians 6
Romans 8
2 Timothy 3
They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these! For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin. They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of truth.
2 Timothy 3:5-7 TPT
I had a series of dreams last night, and as I prayed into those dreams I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Holy Spirit is coming into church services where He has been uninvited. He is coming into church services to expose the reason for the powerlessness of the church to bring lasting cleansing, to truly purify hearts and minds. The hireling shepherds have erased Holy Spirit from the ministry. Pastors have become party planners who have said that Holy Spirit does not fit the aesthetic of the celebration. They have removed Him, and they have said He is not welcome. This is the cause of the discord among you. This is the source of the usurpation and twisted theology among you. The hireling shepherds will no longer be the ones to decide if Holy Spirit is welcome. I’m bringing the choice directly to My people. They can choose, and they will choose.
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 TPT
The people themselves will choose whether to be guided by Me or to be guided by one who bears My Name but in no way resembles Me. They can choose to be taught by My Spirit through My Word or they can choose another way. This is a time of a reorganization, a full clearing, and Holy Spirit is coming to remove the old ways, old decisions, past choices and even full histories. He’s coming to bring a clean slate and a new way forward. Will you permit Him? Or will you stand in the way to retain the status quo?
Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: I will make my home in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. For this reason, “Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord. “Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you. I will be a true Father to you, and you will be my beloved sons and daughters,” says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 TPT
I have provided a way for Holy Spirit to flow. I have provided through Jesus’s release and impartation of Holy Spirit the promise of My Presence on Earth as it is in Heaven. Will you seek it? Will you pay the price to pursue My flow? Will you seek out those who know My ways and have already have tapped into the power and the flow of My Spirit? They are ready, and they are offering to show you the way to tap directly into My flow.
In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot! For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.
Romans 8:7-9 TPT
As for the hireling shepherds who serve pre-determined messages of refreshing that bring a little stirring to the spirit or a little buzz to the mind, who tickle you with entertainment — My Spirit will permit them to continue to sanitize the space, to continue to prevent My flow and prevent My Presence. I will leave them to their ways, and it will be your choice to stay or to go with Me. It will be your choice.
How to Respond
- This is a time of a sobering warning to pastors and to the Church. Open your heart, life and belief systems to the Lord for examination.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come and show me how to tap into Your flow. I don’t want to stand in the way of Your flow or be one who rejects Your Presence. You are most welcome here. I will not put time parameters on Your flow. I will not sanitize the space. You are welcome here with me. Show me those who already know how to tap into Your flow. I will seek their guidance, and I will leave the place where You have been rejected. I will follow You.
- Declare, with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. — 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
- Decree, Holy Spirit is challenging the status quo. He is going around church leaders and going directly to the people. He is giving them the individual opportunity to decide whether they will choose His flow and invite His Presence — or whether they will remain comfortable, powerless and unchanged.
