Today’s Reading:
2 Corinthians 2
Ephesians 2
2 Peter 2
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,“
2 Corinthians 2:14-15 ESV
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Traces of gold and dust of silver are left along your path. It is prayed forth from your heart as a fine mist wherever you go. This is the glory, the purity and the beauty of what I have put in you and what you carry. That is what is happening in the spirit everywhere you go.
We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!
Ephesians 2:10 TPT
You are leaving the residue of My glory, the purity of My presence and the truth of what I speak everywhere you go. I have told you that you are royalty. This is part of that. This is evidence of that. When you are living in the reality of the Kingdom, your spirit can richly and generously give and breathe life wherever you go. A pauper mindset does not believe, does not understand that they have so much to give. But when you are in the Kingdom mindset and living in the reality of the Kingdom, you can give generously and openly from the overflow of your time with Me. The richness of the time you sit and spend with Me spills forth and sprays out as a sweet blessing and as an extravagant result of being in My presence.
So, you are not foreigners or guests, but rather you are the children of the city of the holy ones, with all the rights as family members of the household of God. You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple; and your lives have been built up together upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and best of all, you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself! This entire building is under construction and is continually growing under his supervision until it rises up completed as the holy temple of the Lord himself. This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!
Ephesians 2:19-22 TPT
Don’t cling to all of your time with Me as if it was only for you. It’s more than able and is supposed to be the fueling place from which you are a blessing to many. So dwell in My presence. Love and enjoy, relish and delight in My presence. The evidence of that time spent, you will carry with you wherever you go. You will leave traces of it, evidence of it wherever you go. Trust me to fill you as you come into My Presence. I always will.
How to Respond
- Bless the Lord. Be disciplined to spend time in His presence.
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to see myself through Your perspective. Help me to understand the power and authority You have given me. Help me to operate in the ways and the mindset of the Kingdom, so I am maximally effective at all You have called me to do and be. Thank You for being my Source and my fuel.
- Declare, Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.
— 2 Peter 1:3-4 TPT - Decree, My time spent in the Lord’s presence, communing with Him fills me up, and the evidence of that is seen in the beautiful and extravagant traces of His glory that I leave behind. I will live in this reality of the Kingdom, recognizing that the Lord has empowered me for great exploits and for every good work that He planned for me in advance. And I will be a blessing and a tangible representation of Him wherever I go.
