Today’s Reading:
2 Corinthians 5
Mark 10
Hebrews 10
Hebrews 11
“And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee. That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master— for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes.”
2 Corinthians 5:5-7 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I Am faithful. I Am faithful. Come what may. I Am faithful. The end of a day is nearing, and a new day will be dawning soon. I’m closing a chapter on an era, on a time and on a way of life. I’m setting captives free, and I’m releasing My Word into all the Earth.
“And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 TPT
As the captives get set free, they will take My Word, My testimony, their encounters and life change with them, and they will make My Name visible and heard throughout all the earth. These are My newest, most passionate witnesses in Judea, Samaria and the ends of the Earth. They are the hidden ones, the restrained ones, the chained and held captive ones who I Am releasing, and I Am setting free by My Word, through My Spirit. At the sound of My voice chains will break. Prison doors will open, and the captives and the hidden ones will be released onto the scene.
“Listen to the truth I speak: Whoever does not open their arms to receive God’s kingdom like a teachable child will never enter it.””
Mark 10:15 TPT
This is a day of choosing. Will you choose to stay in your same mindset that has held you back in this old and fading time? Or will you choose faith? Will you choose belief? Will you choose unwavering conviction that My Word and ways are true? Will you choose to be a more pure, more childlike version of yourself, shedding the skepticism and unbelief of your jaded adult mindset, and come into alignment with Me? Come into alignment with Heaven? And walk this narrow way in the light of the sun, in full joy, in lightness and with a heart of overflowing gratitude that can’t help but sing a song of praise? What will you choose? The old day is closing, and the new day is dawning. Will you be the new you here?
“And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who passionately seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 TPT
Don’t drag that old mindset into this glorious new day of freedom. Don’t you do it. It will hold you back, and get you stuck. You will see the new day but be living in the old reality. Shed the old mindset. Choose faith, and walk like a child. Walk with the heart of a child as we enter this new day. Faith, pure faith is needed here. It is the way.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to shed all remnants of unbelief. Help me to shake off all skepticism and jadedness. I want to walk in childlike faith. I want to believe in Your Word and Your promises without hesitation, without putting up protective walls that expect less than what You said. Thank You for bringing this new day and closing out the old one. Thank You for releasing the hidden ones, the restrained ones and for setting the captives free with a ready word of truth to make Your Name famous in all the Earth.
- Declare, “And he also says, “My righteous ones will live from my faith. But if fear holds them back, my soul is not content with them!” But we are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish; we are among those who have faith and experience true life!”
— Hebrews 10:38-39 TPT - Decree, The Lord is my shepherd. I will not lead myself. I will not go my own way or live in a mindset of the past. I choose childlike faith. I choose belief. I choose to walk in His path in the light of King Jesus and to be filled with the glory of His Presence every moment. I will not get stuck in an old mindset that holds me back in an old season. I am moving forward with the Lord, and I will rejoice and be joy-filled as I sing praises to my King and help to make His Name famous in all the Earth.
