Today’s Reading:
John 16
1 Corinthians 2
Psalm 119
Lamentations 3
But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak on his own, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify me on the earth, for he will receive from me what is mine and reveal it to you.
John 16:13-14 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The searching light of your heart is seeking for truth, is parsing through much data. As it lands on truth, the truth will be magnified. My Spirit will help you discern truth, because I will cause it to be magnified in your sight amidst all that competes for its attention. I will magnify it in your sight, and your heart will leap, will respond with a knowing that this is truth.
It may seem dark on all sides. It may seem as if you are surrounded by darkness, but I will provide the light you need to find the truth, see the truth and move forward as one who carries and guards the truth.
This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine — these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers. But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 TPT
It will appear as though we are in very dark and stormy waters. It will seem as though we are in the midst of never ending rough seas and dawn just refuses to break. But I have put My light inside of you. I will show you what you need to see, and I will be the stability of your times. Though the seas are rough and stormy waters surround you. I Am the Unchanging One, the Ever Present One. I Am your Strong Tower of refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble.
And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!
John 16:33 TPT
Storm seas are kicking up, dark clouds are rolling in. Don’t forget the light I have placed inside of you. Live by that light. Be an illuminated one for others. Shine a light on the truth. They may hold on to you as you hold onto Me, but do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. The storm is for the awakening. I will use it for My purposes. Do not be afraid.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord help me to see things by the light of Your Word and not by sight. Help me to remain steadfast in whatever circumstances come my way. Strengthen me, comfort me, guide me and hold me fast. Thank You for leading me into all truth. Help me to be a light who shines brightly and brings light to truth for others.
- Declare, New, fresh mercies greet me with every sunrise. So wonderfully great is your faithfulness! I tell my soul, “Yahweh is my abundant portion. I need nothing more. So, I will put all my hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:23-24 TPT - Declare, Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your Word makes my pathway clear. Psalms 119:105 TPT
- Decree, I will remain anchored to the Lord my God. I will be faithful, and I will live by the light of His Word and His Spirit. I will shine a light on truth and be a light of truth for others, no matter what storm comes our way. The Lord will move us through this storm to accomplish His purposes. He will use it to awaken many and draw many to Himself.
