Today’s Reading:
2 Peter 1
James 1
John 4
Isaiah 54
Psalm 32
“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
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Cups are being filled to the overflow. Refreshing is come to the weary, the downtrodden, the faint and the worn. Crystalline pure refreshing is coming to your cup. Drink it up. Don’t be afraid that the refreshing will run out. I Am the Source, and I never run dry. I Am the Fountain of Living Waters. I Am the Source of all joy, which is your strength — to live, to laugh to work, to war and to win.
“but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the water I give you, it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with endless life!””
John 4:14 TPT
Don’t underestimate the reality of My joy being your strength, of My Living Waters and joy being the same substance from the same Source. Pump it up until it bubbles up. Pump it up until it overflows. This is My free and continual gift to you. All you have to do is tap into it. All you have to do is prime the pump of this Living Water joy from down in your belly. You’ll know it’s primed when your lips begin to smile. You’ll know its reached a trickle when your heart begins to shine. You’ll know it’s begun to flow when your eyes crinkle at the corners. And you’ll know the flow is here when your lips break forth in laughter and in praise. I want to fill your cup. I want it to overflow. I need your participation.
“But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refute every accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindication is from me,” says Yahweh.”
Isaiah 54:17 TPT
Don’t sit back and receive the blows of the enemy without an answer. Rise up. Do not allow yourself to fall or remain prey. Rise up. Curse the curse that has come against you. Curse it at its root. Curse each and every curse that has come against you — against your body, your health, your finances, your family, your voice, your name and your reputation. Rise up in My delegated authority, and curse the curse itself at its root. Burn the roots, don’t just cut them down with your words. Burn them fully with your spiritual decrees, and get back to the business of praise. Refreshing is here. Refreshing is available. I need your participation.
“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. And then as your endurance grows even stronger, it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.”
James (Jacob) 1:2-4 TPT
Don’t just sit there and take the attacks of the enemy. And don’t wait passively for refreshing to come. This is war. And just as in a physical war, I may bring you over a canteen to help you, to revive you so you can strengthen yourself to rise. But I want you to tap into the Source of Living Waters, so your joy and your faith, your hope for My glory never runs dry. War for the Living Water. It’s right there inside of you — fully sustainable and sole sourced.
How To Respond
- Get into praise. If that feels dry and difficult, begin with gratitude. Thank the Lord for what He’s done in your life.
- Pray, Lord thank You that You have indeed given me everything I need. All of my hope, all of my strength, all of my authority and future rest in You and come from You. Help me to recognize the curses that have come against me for what they are — not happenstance ailments or difficulties — attacks from the enemy of my soul. Help me to recognize them and rise up in condemnation against them. Give me the insight to curse at the root every curse that has come against me and my family, my work, my prosperity. I want to be one who lives continually refreshed Lord. Help me tap in to Your Living Waters and live at full strength because of Your joy flowing within me.
- Declare, “So celebrate the goodness of God! He shows this kindness to everyone who is his. Go ahead—shout for joy, all you upright ones who want to please him!”
— Psalms 32:11 TPT - Decree, I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart. I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart to stay. And I’m so happy, so very happy. I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart. I will prime the pump of Living Waters in my heart, and cause refreshing and joy and strength to overflow. I will war from the place of strength, refreshing and praise. I will not be victim to the attacks of the enemy. I will rise up, cursing at the root every attack he sends my way. I am one with My Lord who is ever-victorious.
