Today’s Reading:
1 John 4
Galatians 6
Luke 6
“Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them. By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world. Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection.”
1 John 4:15-18 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Anxiety must cease in My Presence. The secret to anxiety-free living is dwelling in the secret place of the Most High, wrapping yourself in the shield of My Presence and refusing entry to enemy attacks. Perfect love casts out all fear. Live inside My perfect love, and be at peace. Whom or what shall you fear? The Lord of All, the Creator of Heaven and Earth is your secret hiding place, your protector, redeemer and king.
“The harvest you reap reveals the seed that you planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self-life into this natural realm, you can expect a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit.”
Galatians 6:8 TPT
New foundations are here to be set, to be established and to be built upon. Lay them carefully. Grace is a good component for the foundation you are about to lay. Joy is another. Pour your values, the values from My heart right into the mixture you use to create this new, unique and enduring foundation upon which you will build. I will help you.
Have a high value for laughter, for fun, for creativity, for learning and for life itself. This is a new day and these are new times that I Am setting before you to create change. Enjoy it. Make it a song. Make it a pleasure. And just as bees are drawn to sweet flowers and pollinate them along the way, so will I cause the sweetness of the fragrance of your joy, love, laughter and good attitude to attract those who carry the gift of multiplication. This is a birthing season and a building season. And multiplication is needed along the way.
“And don’t allow yourselves to be weary in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming! Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!”
Galatians 6:9-10 TPT
Justice is in your foundation. Truth is an essential component of your foundation. Lies, falsehood and compromise have no place. In fact, they are marked as the enemy. Today marks the day of pouring the essentials in and laying a new foundation. Remember, all My people are precious to Me. Treat them with value, respect and honor. And as you do, you will be amazed at the varieties that come — birds of all feathers and stripes will flock to you — because you have created a space where the truth will be told and where lies are not accepted. Trust in Me. Stir up those essential, core elements. Today is a critical day to lay a new foundation that will last.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for the wisdom You so generously give. Pour it out in abundance to me today, and guide me in the way to create the mixture that is unique to me and my calling — for this new foundation. I want the new foundation for what we are building together to be made of life, joy, laughter, truth, justice, fun, honor, respect and the expectation of miracles. I want it to attract those who desire and love truth.
- Declare, “Let me describe the one who truly follows me and does what I say: He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for he built it wisely on the right foundation. But the one who has heard my teaching and does not obey it is like a man who builds a house without laying any foundation at all. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be?”
Luke 6:47-49 TPT - Decree, Great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. He is the One who appoints the time for new foundations to be poured — upon which beautiful, strong, vibrant new structures can be built. I will only include ingredients that are found in the Father’s heart — values that are His and that bring Him joy, delight and pleasure. I want all that I build to reflect Him and to be of Him and for His Name’s sake.
