Today’s Reading:
Exodus 33
Luke 7
Luke 10
Hebrews 12
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
Exodus 33:7 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Holiness is extending. The tent of meeting for those whose hearts desire holiness and who long to live in holiness is expanding. This is no longer a fringe movement and a small crowd. I’m extending the size of My tent of meeting, so those who desire holiness can gather here, can have a spacious place here. People are dotting the inside of the tent now. This place of meeting with Me — where I Am is the purpose, the reason, the Presence and the cause, where I Am central, where I Am in all and surrounding all. In this place more are filing in. Those who don’t look the part are filing in. Those who have laid heavy burdens down are filing in. Those with pasts and wrap sheets and histories that would make religious people blush and stutter are filing in.
Their hearts are heavy with a burden that only I can fulfill. The burden is for holiness, for communion, for deeper connection that can only be found in the dedicated place of meeting with Me. It can only be found in the single-minded pursuit of Me. The distracted are not here. The busy are not here. It’s the Mary model that have come to seek Me, leaving behind all that could be done to hear My voice, to be in My Presence, to feel My nearness and to sit at My feet.
As Jesus and the disciples continued on their journey, they came to a village where a woman welcomed Jesus into her home. Her name was Martha and she had a sister named Mary. Mary sat down attentively before the Master, absorbing every revelation he shared.
Luke 10:38-39 TPT
Those who come in as hungry Marys will leave like John the Baptists on fire. What is transpiring, what is being imparted and received in the meeting tent of My Presence and glory is a purity and passion that burns like a fire that will not be put out, will not be dimmed, will not be turned down for public approval or for the preference or comfort of those around them.
“Throughout history there was never found a man as great as John. Yet those who now walk in God’s kingdom realm, though they appear to be insignificant, will become even greater than he.”
Luke 7:28 TPT
I Am baptizing those who are seeking My face at great cost — those who have left much, lost much, given up much, walked away from much — are being made into inextinguishable torches of fire that burn for Me and do not blink or step back in the face of the approval or disapproval of man.
My tent of meeting is expansive and growing, and it is the place where I Am personally baptizing My seekers, those who love to sit at My feet and will forsake all else. They are the ones I Am baptizing with Heaven’s fire. It is a flame that won’t flicker and won’t burn out, because you have tapped into the source, the never ending supply of oil. It’s Me. I Am the Source, and I Am lighting many. As many as will come to My tent of meeting, I Am lighting them on fire for Me.
How to Respond
- Make the Lord your greatest desire and pursuit.
- Pray, Holy Spirit draw me into Your tent of meeting. I don’t want to be busy with things at the expense of missing out on Your Presence and Your glory. I long to sit at Your feet and to be baptized with the fire of Your holiness, Your purity and Your passion.
- Declare, Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. For our God is a holy, devouring fire!“
Hebrews 12:26-29 TPT - Decree, I am like the merchant who found a pearl of great price. The Lord is my greatest prize, my greatest desire and the Source of my life. I have pursued Him to His expanding tent of meeting, and my heart hungers for His holiness. I will not be distracted, drawn off-course or deterred. I will pursue the Lord’s presence doggedly, and nothing else will do. I will be one He baptizes with fire. I will become a flame that cannot be put out and will not be dimmed or tamed to appease the preferences of man.
