Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 26
Psalm 18
Luke 19
“Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.”
Isaiah 26:8-10 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace is coming to the mountains. A grace avalanche is here. It’s devastating to your adversaries who have wrongfully placed themselves atop and throughout the high, mid-tier and even low places on the mountains. But those who are with Me, who are for Me, for My people and My ways know how to hide themselves in the cleft of the rock while My avalanches of grace take the enemy down. The fresh snowfall of My love is judgement on the mountains. It is like a two-edged sword of judgement and cleansing, of destruction and of making a new way possible.
“The Lord also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.”
Psalms 18:13-14 NASB1995
Watch as you see the mountains shake. The thunder of My love and jealousy for My people and the wrath that has been stored up and compounding in interest over their adversaries is about to fall, is about to strike and resound from Heaven. Those who have plotted wickedness and exalted themselves above Me and above My Name on the mountains of influence have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. They cannot escape My judgement.
“The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me. He delivers me from my enemies; Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man. Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord, And I will sing praises to Your name. He gives great deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his descendants forever.”
Psalms 18:47-50 NASB1995
And these massive avalanches triggered by the thundering of My voice from Heaven, triggered by the shaking that I Am initiating on the mountains will be a great grace to My people. Yes, it will be unsettling for all, but for those who are called by My Name, they will recognize My voice in the thunder. They will conceal themselves in Me, in the cleft of the rock, in the hiding place where My glory dwells. And My wrath will pass them by. My judgement will pass them by. And the beauty and glory, the shining when I draw them out after the shaking will be peace.
“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust. The foot will trample it, The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless.” The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.”
Isaiah 26:3-7 NASB1995
A great peace will cover the mountains just like a fresh dusting of snowfall. The places that had been filled with treachery and loose footholds and traps that silence the people will be nowhere to be found. They will come out of the caves and their hiding places and say, “this is a whole new world. This is a whole new day. Let me ascend the mountain that the Lord has established for me in peace.” A shakeup of epic proportions and a turnaround that is unfathomable in scale is coming to the mountains where I desire My people to reveal and reflect My glory. Change is coming. Big, monumental change is coming to the mountains. The rumbling is starting now.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that Your judgements reveal Your justice. Thank You that You are moving on behalf of Your people, and You are pouring down wrath on those who have worked wickedness against us and against You. Help me to know how to hide myself in You when the shaking comes. And thank You that You are establishing peace and a path to promotion for Your people.
- Declare, ““I love You, O Lord, my strength.” The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalms 18:1-3 NASB1995 - Declare, “As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, shouting: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!””
Luke 19:37-40 NASB1995 - Decree, The Lord is my hiding place. I will not fear the storms, the winds or the waves. I will not be moved. He is my refuge and a very present help in times of trouble. The Lord is rising up to judge and pour out His wrath on His adversaries who have promoted wickedness against His people in every way possible. He will remove the wicked from positions of influence and power, and His judgement will be comprehensive. He is bringing a cleansing, a peace and a path forward and upward for those who love Him and are called by His Name.
