Today’s Reading:
Acts 17
Hebrews 12
Nehemiah 9
You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.
Nehemiah 9:6 NKJV
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace is in the atmosphere for change. Finances can and will change. Under My law of preservation, finances can and will change. Preservation is for safe keeping. You have full access to this prepared and set aside place of preservation for preservation. Even as the garden of your faithfulness blooms, grows and multiplies, you can still reach into this place of security and preservation. What good are the preserves if they never get used? The preserves were always intended for use.
Before the Lord spoke to me about it today I can’t recall ever hearing about the Law of Preservation, so I had to look it up. This is a great article for insight into God’s Law of Preservation — click here.
As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!
Hebrews 12:1-2 TPT
I’m changing your threshold for pain. The things that used to pain you, that once pained you, won’t bother you at all. What once felt like a sharp pain will be as easily brushed off as a gnat. When your pain threshold is higher, you can do so much more. You can run harder, faster, farther. You can get more done in less time. And you can go the extra mile without balking.
Now all discipline seems to be painful at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it. So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees, for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!
Hebrews 12:11-13 TPT
Grace for change is here. It’s grace for change in perspective. It’s grace for understanding, accepting and putting to good use that which you have preserved for an appropriate time. It’s grace for allowing the garden of your faithfulness to bloom and mature, to grow and to multiply. And it is grace to resist and even dismiss the pain you once keenly felt. It will barely bother you now. You will hardly notice it at all. This is My grace for change right now. Step into it. Receive it. Use it. Put it to work.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to receive and use and really put to work the grace for change that You have provided. Help me to allow this grace to shift my perspective, my practices, my expectations and my efforts.
- Declare, It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’
— Acts 17:28 TPT - Decree, The Lord is faithful in all of His ways. He has charged the atmosphere with grace for change. And I will grab ahold of that grace. I will utilize it to understand finances differently, to understand cultivation of prosperity differently and to walk forward with a much higher tolerance for pain than I once had. This is an upgrade season.
