Today’s Reading:
John 1
Revelation 3
Psalm 139
Titus 1
They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome!
John 1:2-5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
My grace and creative light is invading the darkness, and it is pushing into closed-off spaces. It is pushing and getting into places behind closed doors. It is shifting atmospheres. It is changing conditions. It is bringing light and unlocking understanding. And these doors that have been closed, dark and unapproachable will open to you unexpectedly. Don’t refuse to enter because of what these doors once represented. My grace went ahead. My grace brought light. My grace changed the atmosphere and now fills the space.
I know all that you’ve done. Now I have set before you a wide-open door that none can shut. For I know that you possess only a little power, yet you’ve kept my word and haven’t denied my name.
Revelation 3:8 TPT
Do not be afraid to enter. Don’t be too religious to enter. I Am the One, through My grace, who has changed the conditions so this door would open to you. Don’t forget that nothing is secular. All things are sacred. Don’t forget that everything I created is supernatural and has supernatural qualities and abilities that may not be perceived by the naked eye. Ask for wisdom. Seek discernment. But be full of joy and ready to rush into the space beyond the dark door that I open for you. Is not My light inside of you? Has not My grace gone before you? Have not the conditions inside this place changed if My grace caused the door to open for you?
There is no such thing as darkness with you. The night, to you, is as bright as the day; there’s no difference between the two.
Psalms 139:12 TPT
You have said that you would follow Me even into darkness, even into dark places. I Am opening dark doors to once dark places. Will you follow Me? Will you heed My voice? Will you be too religious and back away from My invitation? I open a door that no man can shut. Will you come through? Will you work with Me here? Will you occupy the space here? Will you be part of My transformation agenda here? Trust that I will not lead you anywhere that I have not already gone. I will not open a door where I have not prepared the place. Follow Me. I have gone before you. Don’t be intimidated by the darkness of the door. My light and My grace have already invaded this space. My light is in you and with you. It’s time to shine.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord, and say yes to His every invitation.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for going before me. Thank You for loving me and for causing Your grace and creative light to invade dark places before You open the door for me there. Help me to shed every religious mindset and all intimidation that would hold me back from entering into Your invitation and the open door You set before me.
- Declare, It’s true that all is pure to those who have pure hearts, but to the corrupt unbelievers nothing is pure. Their minds and consciences are defiled. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are disgusting, disobedient, and disqualified from doing anything good.
Titus 1:15-16 TPT - Decree, the Lord has gone before me. His grace and creative light have changed conditions in a place that was once very dark and sealed off. He is opening a dark door for me, but He has gone before me to prepare the way. He is inviting me into this place to be part of His transformation agenda, and I will not shy away from it. I will move forward in full joy, in full obedience as soon as He opens the door.
