Today’s Reading:
Psalm 8
Matthew 27
2 Corinthians 3
Just then, as Pilate was presiding over the tribunal, his wife sent him an urgent message: “Don’t harm that holy man, for I suffered a horrible nightmare last night about him!” Meanwhile, the chief priest and the religious leaders were inciting the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be freed and to have Jesus killed. So Pilate asked them again, “Which of the two men would you like me to release for you?” They shouted, “Barabbas.” Pilate asked them, “Then what would you have me to do with Jesus who is called the Anointed One?” They all shouted back, “Crucify him!” “Why?” Pilate asked. “What has he done wrong?” But they kept shouting out, “Crucify him!”
Matthew 27:19-23 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Those junkyard dogs of truth are on the prowl. They necessitate change. Where chaos has ruled and continues to stir. The offensive attacks of these junkyard dogs of truth will put down rebellion, will subdue chaos and will cause evil to submit. This is not work for sunshine soldiers. Truth is never a sunshine soldier. This is the work required to quell a rebellion. Rebellion against law and order, against righteous and just laws and peaceable order is open rebellion against Heaven. It is a spirit of lawlessness that is an antichrist spirit. Choosing lawlessness over peace, choosing criminals over the innocent is the very essence of the antichrist spirit. It is alive and well in your day, in your midst.
All the created order and every living thing of the earth, sky, and sea— the wildest beasts and all that move in the paths of the sea — everything is in submission to Adam’s sons.
Psalms 8:7-8 TPT
Build up strongholds of worship that empower angel armies. Partner with truth, and do not back down from truth. Do not align with the mealy weakness of half-truths or apologies for truth. Sing, worship, praise and cause the devil to flee. Decree and make intercession that gives you the keys and instructions on how to close up the portals to hell, the second heaven portals from which this lawlessness has been released. And your worship, your conviction, your praise and your commitment to praise in the face of lawlessness will array the forces of heaven against these demonic principalities and strongholds.
You have built a stronghold by the songs of children. Strength rises up with the chorus of infants. This kind of praise has power to shut Satan’s mouth. Childlike worship will silence the madness of those who oppose you.
Psalms 8:2 TPT
Explain to your children what is going on and what is at stake in the spiritual war. Their songs will do more than you can imagine. The purity, the love, the power that comes from those innocent sweet lovers of Mine will cause the enemy to flee, will topple darkness and will usher in a revival the likes of which these places now ruled by darkness have never known. It will go from being called Madness and Mayhem to the land of revival, abundance, fruitfulness and praise. Watch what I won’t do. The secret weapon in all of this will be the songs of worship that come from the mouths of babes.
How to Respond
- Press in and intercede for the people and territory of Minnesota in particular but all places in America that are subjected to the reign of lawlessness.
- Pray, Holy Spirit strengthen the weak knees of the prayer warriors and intercessors in Minnesota, across America and all over the world. Give us the keys and instructions that will show us how to shut down the altars and works that are empowering the antichrist spirit to rule in these cities and especially our state capitals. Lord we join our worship of You with theirs. We join our prayers for insight and breakthrough with theirs. We long to see the turnaround — from theft, fraud and lawlessness to revival, restoration and continual praise of You. Make these cities beautiful strongholds of praise, worship, fruitfulness and abundance again Lord. Help us to partner with You in the turnaround.
- Declare, Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17 TPT - Decree, The Lord is releasing revelation and keys to intercessors who will take action and shut down the altars and doors to hell that have been opened in their cities and regions. Sounds of praise, worship and especially the warring, innocent songs of praise from children and babies will build strongholds that completely shift the atmosphere in these places that have for so long been overtaken by lawlessness. Freedom is being released as the Spirit of the Lord is given the place of highest honor. Wherever He reigns is peace, freedom, order and abundance.
