Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 40
Psalm 24
Psalm 139
A thunderous voice cries out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way for Yahweh’s arrival! Make a highway straight through the desert for our God! Every valley will be raised up, every mountain brought low. The rugged terrain will become level ground and the rough places a plain. Then Yahweh’s radiant glory will be unveiled, and all humanity will experience it together. Believe it, for Yahweh has spoken his decree!”
Isaiah 40:3-5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
My Revolutionary Guard is advancing. They are advancing as a great guardian force to protect My Glory. They are making the way for it, and they are surrounding it with great reverence, honor and pride.
These warriors have fought many battles. They have been tested and tried, and they recognize that this is their greatest mission. This is what it has all been preparation for. This is an apogee moment, a destiny moment. The calling of their life has been to ready themselves for this very time, this moment. They are a guardian force who are preparing the way and making it holy. They are surrounding My Glory with worship, great reverence, honor and pride.
Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place? Those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure. They will receive Yahweh’s blessing and righteousness given by the Savior-God. They will stand before God, for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob. Pause in his presence
Psalms 24:3-6 TPT
This is a holy moment, a weighty, heavy moment that we have been hurtling toward at top speed. But as My Presence draws near, as My Manifest Glory draws near, time is slowing down, and you will need to make time to further purify, to reflect and to sit in a stewarding posture.
So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way! So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you eternal doors! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory! Pause in his presence
Psalms 24:7-10 TPT
The Glory is near. It’s so near you can almost reach out and touch it. This is that time. Prepare your heart. Make room. Anoint your heads with oil and your lips with praise. Make room. Prepare the way. The King of Glory is near. He’s even nearer now than when you first believed. You are about to witness His Glory in a powerful, tangible, undeniable way. Purify your heart. Purify your lips. Magnify His Name. Prepare and make way for the King of Glory. He is near.
How to Respond
- Take some time to purify your heart and intentions.
- Worship the Lord in purity and in truth.
- Pray, Holy Spirit search me. Help me to deal with any unpurified places in my heart and mind. Help me to be one who is ready to welcome and host Your Glory. Help me to be one who is in this revolutionary honor guard that is making the way holy before You and protecting Your Glory Movement with reverence, honor and with my songs of highest praise.
- Declare, God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you.
— Psalms 139:23-24 TPT - Decree, I will be among those preparing the way for the Glory of the Lord. I will not be found unprepared or distracted. I will be singing and worshipping as a purified warrior who has fought many battles in preparation for this great role in the revolutionary honor guard. I will be one who surrounds and protects His movement with honor, glory, testimony and praise.
