Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 26
Isaiah 33
Daniel 2
“Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations are consumed with you; they confidently trust in you. Yes, trust in the Lord Yahweh forever and ever! For Yah, the Lord God, is your Rock of Ages!”
Isaiah 26:3-4 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
You can be at perfect peace in the midst of great acceleration. You can enjoy the ride even as the odometer seems to keep ticking up — going faster and faster. Make Me your center of gravity. Make Me the anchor for your soul. Then you have nothing and no one to fear. Am I not the God of time? Do I not use it to My advantage? Do I not control the weather patterns and the rise and fall of kings? What shall you fear? I have the whole world in My hands.
“May the blessed name of God be praised forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his alone. He alone controls the changes of times and seasons. He enthrones and dethrones kings, he imparts wisdom to the wise, and he pours out revelation-knowledge to those with understanding. He alone reveals deep secrets and mysteries and knows what lies in darkness, for he radiates glory-light all around him.”
Daniel 2:20-22 TPT
When it seems things are spinning out of control, when it feels as though events and time are accelerating at an unsustainable pace, who is at a disadvantage? It’s not Me. It’s your adversary the enemy. He can’t keep up with Me. He’s been manipulating the time, the seasons, the weather and minds. He is about to see that all come back and slap him in the face.
“Yahweh, be gracious to us, for we wait for you. Be our strength every morning and rescue us when troubles come. The nations retreat at the sound of your roaring voice. The nations scatter as you arise in your majesty. Their spoil will be harvested, carried away like locusts that strip a field bare. And like leaping locusts, men will leap upon the spoils.”
Isaiah 33:2-4 TPT
Imagine these manipulations of the enemy as a lever or catapult being pulled back farther and farther and farther from its stable status quo. I Am about to release the full force of all he has been manipulating directly into a full frontal assault on him. His plans will fly wildly out of control and fail. What he has stolen and kept out of reach will be flung from his grasp and will be made available to be recovered. Even the mindsets and narratives that he has controlled and manipulated will be removed from his grasp and catapulted to freedom. I Am causing him to lose his grip and control on the places and the times and the people he has manipulated for so long. They will fly straight from his grip, and he will find himself face down in the mud once again.
“The Lord Yahweh is our Judge, our Lawgiver, and our King; he will save us completely!”
Isaiah 33:22 TPT
Don’t let this manipulation of times and seasons unsettle you or cause you to shudder or fear. The enemy has overplayed his hand, and the leverage he had gained will be intercepted. The plans, people and all that had been stolen, held back and kept out of arm’s reach will be suddenly removed from his grip. It will be thrust forward at great speed. What has been held back from you will be launched directly into your lap. So worship, sing, laugh and delight. The enemy’s manipulation of times, seasons and kings is about to come to a great halt, and all that has been held back, pulled away and kept out of reach will be launched forward. The enemy has overplayed his hand, and I Am moving to set things right again.
How to Respond
- Worship the Lord. Delight in Him and rejoice that He is intercepting and reversing the plans of the enemy.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for being the stability of our times. Thank You for being my center of gravity and the One who holds the times and seasons. Help me to remain in perfect peace as You rise up against the enemy of my soul — causing his plans to fail and all that he’s held back and stolen to be released. You are so good God. I love you Lord.
- Declare, “Yahweh is high and lifted up; he dwells on high! He lavished his justice and righteousness on Zion! He will be your constant source of stability in changing times, and out of his abundant love he gives you the riches of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!”
— Isaiah 33:5-6 TPT - Decree, The Lord is the One who changes the times and seasons. He raises kings up and takes kings down. The Lord is moving to intervene in the manipulation of times, seasons and leadership by the enemy. He is more than a counterweight to the enemy. He can completely reverse, completely destroy, completely release, return and set free. The enemy is no match for my King, the Lord God Almighty, Creator of the Heavens and Earth. Reversals and recompense are starting now.
