Today’s Reading:
Luke 1
Luke 4
Psalm 27
Song of Songs 2
Praise be to the exalted Lord God of Israel, for he has seen us through eyes of grace, and he comes as our Hero-God to set us free! He appears to us as a mighty Savior, a trumpet of redemption from the house of David, his servant, just as he promised long ago by the words of his holy prophets. They prophesied he would come one day and save us from every one of our enemies and from the power of those who hate us. Now he has shown us the mercy promised to our ancestors, for he has remembered his holy covenant.
Luke 1:68-72 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace is here, and it’s leading people into completely new lives. It’s a new day. It’s a totally new day. What’s old has passed and will never be again. What’s here now and what’s blossoming before you is a new day of freedom, of life more abundant, of radical salvation that changes the course of history.
Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple.
Psalms 27:4 TPT
The fear of man is breaking. The stronghold of the fear of man is fracturing and breaking, and it will not hold this generation back from pursuing My face, My ways, My heart. Grace is here, and it’s leading people into total freedom — not some freedom, not a measure of freedom — absolute, comprehensive freedom to walk with Me, to live in unbroken connection with Me. I have provided by My Spirit and through My grace a way for this generation to live in the world but to walk with Me in lockstep through it.
Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.
Song of Songs 2:13 TPT
Don’t try to find the old paths and the old tire tracks you once followed. They have been washed out. I have washed them away, and now this is a new day, where the road is lit by My Spirit, by My Holy Presence, and it is fully uncharted. You haven’t been this way before. No one has been this way before. It’s a whole new way. My grace is here, and it’s providing a whole new way and a whole new day. Don’t look for the old. Don’t look for the familiar. Don’t look for the comfortable or the fallback, I have washed them all away. So be moved by My impulses. Get into a new rhythm with Me. Trust Me. Trust your ability to hear My voice. This is a new day. We are going a totally different way, and everywhere you look around you is freedom and signs of even more freedom bursting forth. It’s a new day.
How to Respond
- Celebrate and worship the Lord for the new day of His grace and favor.
- Pray, Lord thank You that Your grace is walking us into a new day of freedom where the fear of man has crumbled to the ground, and Your kids are free to dance, to sing, to worship and to pursue You and the purpose You have for each of us without looking around at anyone else for approval or reaction. Help me to walk in lockstep with You, 100% tuned in to Your heart — confident that I hear Your voice and know it well.
- Declare, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.”
Luke 4:18-19 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/luk.4.18-19.TPT - Decree, The Lord’s grace has walked us into a new day. I will not be looking behind me or trying to find the familiar. The Lord has brought me into total and increasing freedom, as the stronghold of the fear of man is breaking and crumbling even now. This is the generation of those who diligently seek Him, and I will move forward in the Lord’s grace, in direct and unceasing connection with Him moved by the impulses of His Spirit. I am free, because the Lord has set me free. It’s a totally new day. I’ve been set free.
