Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 52
Matthew 10
Romans 5
Psalm 18
The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there, Touch nothing unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the Lord. But you will not go out in haste, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 52:10-12 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
You’re breaking out. You’re breaking free. Confinement days are over. Cinderblock gray days are over. I’m setting you free for freedom’s sake. I’m setting you free for Me. Exciting exploits await. Pioneer pilgrimages await. Destiny days start now. A new clock has begun, and destiny days are here. Life as you knew it, life as you tolerated it, life as it was handed to you is done. Now are the days of moving forward in the power of My Spirit, in the prophetic anointing with power, in the fear of the Lord and fully carefree. These are the days of going forward boldly and unapologetically. And these are the days of life and operations not on the world’s terms, not on the enemy’s terms, but on the Spirit’s terms — and those are very sneaky.
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.”
Matthew 10:16 NASB1995
These are rascal days where your anointing is to be a real rascal to the enemy and one who pulls the legs out from under the plans of the enemy by rascally means. This is not four white walls, cookie cutter religion-based Christianity. This is vibrant life. This is war, and this is tremendously fun. This is a war for those with spirit. This is a time for those who are resilient, for those who have been torn down and rebuilt more times than they can count. This is a time of breaking out from all that has hindered, and this is a time that will offend those still trapped by religion, still trapped by norms and approaches that have been sanctioned by leaders who are also trapped in religion.
My point is this — we’re not playing by old rules. We’re not playing by their rules at all anymore. To advance, to make progress, you have to operate and live, and worship and dance and drive outside of the box. The box was made to confine you and render you ineffective. Incremental progress inside of the box is bogus and not progress at all. There’s no progress that can be made inside of the confining box of their creation. I’ve broken you out to live differently — to feel and see things differently, to chase things that never seemed possible and to live impervious to the taunts and demands of the enemy. I’ve made you to be a real rascal in this time.
Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah!
Romans 5:17 TPT
Be a rascal and an absolute annoyance to the enemy. Sweet has its place, and kindness is a virtue and a fruit of My Spirit. Those are single notes, single flavors. I Am calling you to be multi-flavored, flavor-packed, juicy, salty, sweet, tart and vibrantly bursting with flavorful life.
My Spirit will enable you to be very unpredictable to the enemy. My creativity and the anointing of no limitations thinking are here to stay. Go be a rascal to the enemy. Have so much fun with it. It’s time for this war to be hilarious for you. It’s time for the war to still be serious but to sometimes and even often feel like play. I haven’t called it to be a struggle for you. I called you to soar above it, to dominate it handily and to be the decisive victor as I have the final say.
How to Respond
- Receive the no limitations thinking and rascal anointing of the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You are with me. Thank You for breaking me out of the place where the enemy has had me confined. Thank You for empowering me for triumph, for infusing me with Your Spirit and for making me filled with a multitude of flavors that pack a juicy punch. Impart Your creativity. Impart the insight and wisdom and perspective I need to have fun in this war, to advance far, far from the box You’ve broken me out of, and to be a true real annoyance and rascal to the enemy as I win every victory. Give me the spiritual and mental tenacity equivalent of a 13 year-old boy.
- Declare, With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. Yahweh, what a perfect God you are! All Yahweh’s promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you, the wraparound God. Could there be any other god like Yahweh? For there is not a more secure foundation than you.
— Psalms 18:29-31 TPT - Decree, The Lord has broken me out of the place of confinement, and He has anointed me to be a leader and a real, unending annoyance to the enemy. I will work in the creative flow of the Lord. I will see things differently and operate differently. I will move forward at the direction of Holy Spirit. I will operate in no limitations thinking, and I will be a rascal of epic proportions. I am no longer going to live in the confines of a religious mindset that is driven by single-note flavors. I will be multi-flavored — sweet, salty, tart — and I will pack a juicy punch. The new clock has begun. These are my destiny days.
