Today’s Reading:
Jeremiah 31
Proverbs 3
“Thus says the Lord, “The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness— Israel, when it went to find its rest.” The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! Again you will take up your tambourines, And go forth to the dances of the merrymakers. Again you will plant vineyards On the hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will enjoy them.”
Jeremiah 31:2-5 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The true Church, My Bride, will rise up and run from a place of rest into authority that abides in the place of rest. My clock has turned. The dial has moved, and a new beginning is here. New giftings and anointings are here. Fresh mantles and wisdom from Heaven are here. Now is a time to run, but not in your own strength, gutting it out like you have in the past. This is a time to run with My joy as your strength, with My wind at your back and with the slipstream of My grace leading you forward with ease. This is not a time of striving and scraping. This is a time of lightness, abundance, fruitfulness, success and wages. This is the time of a just return, a just reward for your labor, efforts and insights.
“Thus says the Lord, “Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will return from the land of the enemy. There is hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.”
Jeremiah 31:16-17 NASB1995
Heaven is guiding you. I Am guiding you forth with My eyes. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be, because I have set you up for a time of ease. Yes there are battles, but you can move forth with ease. I have empowered you for effortless forward motion. Of course effort is required, but not the striving, scraping kind of effort that you have known. This is the kind of effort that is like gliding forward with support and fresh wind at your back to a pre-determined place. This is a time where you will learn to go from rest to rest. Yes you will work. Yes you will run. Yes you will advance, and you will see greater rewards than ever before. You will get so much more done with less effort, because this is the year and the time of My winds that are available to guide you and push you forward with so much less effort than you have known.
“For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes.” At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.”
Jeremiah 31:25-26 NASB1995
Get into position. Posture yourself to abide in Me, and watch Me bring you from grace to grace, from advancement to advancement, from rest, to rest and from victory to shining victory. This is a time to win and advance from the place of abiding rest in Me. You will learn, I Am doing a new thing, and this is the new way.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You for bringing me out of a time of striving and scraping into a time of comparatively effortless advancement. Thank You for guiding me forward with Your eyes and for advancing me with Your grace. Help me to stay in a posture of abiding in You to do the work You have called me to do, carrying the message You have placed in my heart.
- Declare, “Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.”
Proverbs 3:5-8 TPT - Decree, The Lord is bringing me from rest to rest and from victory to shining victory. I will not fear. I will not hesitate, and I will not get stuck in the old ways of striving from last season. I will rise up and run from the place of abiding with my Lord, and I will get an abundant return. I will experience fruitfulness and wages for my work like I have never known.
