Today’s Reading:
1 Timothy 2
Isaiah 60
Isaiah 62
Psalm 33
“Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to God. Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion. And pray for every political leader and representative, so that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts. It is pleasing to our Savior-God to pray for them. He longs for everyone to embrace his life and return to the full knowledge of the truth.”
1 Timothy 2:1-4 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Justice is waiting behind the curtains, behind the scenes. The puppet show is about to end. Pray for their souls. Pray for their hearts to turn. Pray that despair does not overtake these ones once held in place by higher unseen forces. I Am cutting the strings. The puppets will fall, and the puppet show will come to an end. Pray for the souls and hearts and resilience of mind of those who have been used as puppets. Willing or unwilling, they have been puppets. The dark forces behind them are utterly irredeemable. But the puppets themselves may yet be saved. The forces that held them up and held them in power are those spoken about in Ephesians 6 — the rulers, the powers, the world forces of this darkness, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.
““Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.”
Isaiah 60:1-3 NASB1995
I Am calling you to increase in light and in power. I Am calling you to shine with greater intensity and to carry and release more power than you ever have before. This is the time of the greater awakening. A great awakening has occurred. And The Greater Awakening is upon us. I need My saints to move in light and in power from the place of confident, undisturbed rest in Me. Hold your peace as the strings are cut. Hold your peace as the puppets fall. Acts are yet to come once the fallen puppets are moved from the scene. Light and power must be among the people and must fill and penetrate the atmosphere. Praise must fill the atmosphere. It forces the demons and darkness to flee. Praise is a weapon. And prophecy has power.
“For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning. The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of the Lord will designate. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God. It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”; But you will be called, “My delight is in her,” And your land, “Married”; For the Lord delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.”
Isaiah 62:1-4 NASB1995
Prophesy to the dry foundation bones of this nation, “you shall yet live. You shall live again.” Prophesy to the dry but living, active words of your foundational documents — “come forward in power. Come forward in bold, unapologetic power.” Prophesy to the values, beliefs and faith that inspired those living words, prophesy — “lifeblood of faith move in our veins. Lifeblood of truth move in power in our veins. Be seen and heard and honored again in this nation — in every state and every home.”
A reckoning is come. The puppets will quickly be cut down from their elevated places, and then a space of time will be different. This space of time is like a suspension of normal operations and rules. This is the time where the prophecies and praises must fill the void. Begin now. Absolutely begin now, but do not back off until the health, the lifeblood, the vigor of the foundations of this nation and the values, beliefs and faith upon which it was built are returned and so large, so present, so undeniable that it is as if faith has overtaken the whole Earth. And once that critical peak is reached, there will be new assignments — for watching, for guarding, for stewarding and for building anew. This is a time for power — the power that resuscitates and redeems a nation.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You that You are moving in ways we can’t see or fathom. Lord help me to discern the times and events that You want me to understand. Help me to be as cunning as a serpent and as innocent as a dove. Breathe life and hope and redemption into the hearts and minds and souls of those puppets who have fallen or who will soon be cut down Lord. Only You can. Preserve them, because they are Your heritage too. Direct the meditations of my heart, my prayers and prophesies over this nation Lord. May it all be to Your glory, Your purposes and to redeem that which was lost. Revive our nation God. Bring it back to life and health, back to full strength and to original intent.
- Declare, “With his breath he scatters the schemes of nations who oppose him; they will never succeed. His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure. His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail. Blessed and prosperous is that nation who has God as their Lord! They will be the people he has chosen for his own.”
Psalms 33:10-12 TPT - Decree, I will abide under the shadow of the Almighty and be at perfect peace, in absolute rest in Him. The strings that dark forces have used to hold many puppets in positions of power are being cut, and the puppet show is coming to an end. Once the puppet show is over, a suspension of rules will take place. I will sing, pray and prophesy boldly into that void until our nation is returned to health, vigor, strength, purpose and original intent. I will not back down until the job is done and a new assignment is given.
