Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 10
Proverbs 28
Psalm 18
So don’t lose your bold, courageous faith, for you are destined for a great reward! You need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of God’s will and then you receive the promise in full. For soon and very soon, “The One who is appearing will come without delay!” And he also says, “My righteous ones will live from my faith. But if fear holds them back, my soul is not content with them!”
Hebrews 10:35-38 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God clearly say,
I want you charging giants. David did not sit back and wait until he was approached. Neither did Joshua or Caleb. They ran out and confronted the giants of the land right where they stood, in the place of their planting, terrorizing and occupation. I’m calling you to call out giants. I’m calling you to reset and resubmit your heart to Me for strengthening, because I Am calling you into a level of boldness and ferocity that you have never known. Those who know you will say, “where has that lion been hiding all this time?” They will say, “surely she has been lurking among us, and we didn’t even know. We didn’t even realize that such a ferocious, bold, dominating lion was in our midst. We will champion her, because she has risen up and gone to war for us. She has faced giants head on and come back walking the walk only walked by victorious warriors.
But we are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish; we are among those who have faith and experience true life!
Hebrews 10:39 TPT
Rise up My warrior! Though you may feel like Gideon, though you may look as unqualified as a shepherd boy, I have crushed you in the wine press, and I have trained you in the fields. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, BUT they ARE mighty for the taking down of strongholds. So rise up. Speak up, and go boldly, confidently into the land, and into the face of giants.
Guilty criminals experience paranoia even though no one threatens them. But the innocent lovers of God, because of righteousness, will have the boldness of a young, ferocious lion!
Proverbs 28:1 TPT
You are a rising lion in their midst, and now is the time to take them down. One by one by one. I Am with you. I Am for you. I have equipped you, and I will make sure you see the victory, as you keep your eyes on Me, as you keep your heart attuned to Me and as your lips speak My words in the face of giants, they WILL fall. Rise up oh prisoners who have hope. I have made you as fierce as lions, and it is time to chase down and speak face to face with giants. As you do, they will fall.
How to Respond
- Worship the Lord. Taking joy in Him will give you strength.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Embolden me and show me the cause that You are calling me to rise up and defend. Show me the giants that You want me to charge and confront face-to-face. I can’t do any of this without the empowerment of Your Spirit and the assurance that You are with me, that You go before me and are my wraparound shield. I will put on Your full armor, but You must go with me Lord.
- Declare, God, you have wrapped me in power and made my way perfect. Through you I ascend to the highest peaks to stand strong and secure in you. You’ve trained me with the weapons of warfare-worship; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You empower me for victory with your wraparound presence. Your power within makes me strong to subdue. By stooping down in gentleness, you made me great! You’ve set me free, and now I’m standing complete, ready to fight some more! I caught up with my enemies and conquered them and didn’t turn back until the war was won! I smashed them to pieces and I finished them once and for all; they’re as good as dead. You’ve placed your armor upon me and made my enemies bow low at my feet. You’ve made them all turn tail and run, for through you I’ve destroyed them all!
Psalms 18:32-40 TPT - Decree, I will rise up at the instruction of the Lord. I will charge giants. I will chase down giants, and I will confront them face-to-face. As I do, the Lord will cause a ferocity to come over me that makes me as bold and terrifying as a lion. And giants will fall. I will be victorious as I obey the Lord when He leads me out into spiritual battles. I will not shrink back from confrontation. Every voice of accusation that rises up against me, I shall condemn.
