Today’s Reading:
Psalm 18
Psalm 33
Jeremiah 29
Revelation 19
Here’s what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
This is My war. I Am directing and causing this war. I Am crushing and treading on the grapes of wrath that have been stored up and building for generations. What you see is directed by My Hand. My Sovereign Hand is guiding and directing men and women. With weapons and penetration, they are punishing the enemy. They are enforcing My wrath. They are freeing nations.
Then I saw heaven opened, and suddenly a white horse appeared. The name of the one riding it was Faithful and True, and with pure righteousness he judges and rides to battle. He wore many regal crowns, and his eyes were flashing like flames of fire. He had a secret name inscribed on him that’s known only to himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title is called the Word of God. Following him on white horses were the armies of heaven, wearing white fine linen, pure and bright. A sharp sword came from his mouth with which to conquer the nations, and he will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will trample out the wine in the winepress of the wrath of God. On his robe and on his thigh he had inscribed a name: King of kings and Lord of Lords.
Revelation 19:11-16 TPT
This is not like other wars. This is a war guided by My Spirit, led by My voice and one that weighs heavily on the leaders executing My punishing judgement. It is at My direction. This is the harvest that has been sown by wicked and oppressive people. They have destroyed and beaten down and heavily burdened those who are precious to Me. And now they must pay. This is the time of two harvests — for some the punishing harvest of wrath and for others, the sweet reward of redemption and freedom. This is not like the wars you have known — fought for evil intent and premised on deceit and grave lies. This war is the punishment I have stored up for My enemies, the tormentors and oppressors and murderers of My people. And by the hand of those who have heeded My call to war and who have responded in obedience to Me, it is by their hand that I Am setting My children free.
With his breath he scatters the schemes of nations who oppose him; they will never succeed. His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure. His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail. Blessed and prosperous is that nation who has God as their Lord! They will be the people he has chosen for his own.
Psalms 33:10-12 TPT
Watch as freedom wars and freedom fires, freedom celebration fires light up the world as My children are emboldened to break off the shackles of their oppressors and grab hold of true freedom. This is that time. Liberty fires are blazing, and more and more are cropping up now. Watch as flames of liberty grow hot and spread across the world. This is that time. I Am truly, definitively setting My people free.
Participate in song. Participate in worship. Clap your hands and praise. Sing your testimonies. Shout for joy. The Lord is crushing His enemies and the enemies of His people, and He is setting the whole world free.

How to Respond
- Praise the Lord. Stir up joy, hope and sing songs of the Lord enforcing His judgement on His enemies.
- Pray, Lord, cover our troops. Direct every heart and mind that is involved in executing Your punishment on Your enemies. Help me to see this war from Heaven’s perspective rather than from man’s. Help me to be one who is continually going before the troops into battle with weapons of praise and with prayer cover. Thank You that Your plans are perfect, and your plans are for freedom.
- Declare, God, you have wrapped me in power and made my way perfect. Through you I ascend to the highest peaks to stand strong and secure in you. You’ve trained me with the weapons of warfare-worship; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
— Psalms 18:32-34 TPT - Decree, The Lord is executing punishing judgement on His enemies, and He is using willing, obedient men and women to enforce that judgement. The Lord’s war is one that punishes His enemies and brings true freedom to His people. The truth of this war will be seen by its fruit. We will see the flames of liberty erupt across the world, as people rise up in courage and refuse to be held by the chains of their oppressors any longer.
