Today’s Reading:
Mark 8
Isaiah 9
Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus said to them, “Why all this fussing over forgetting to bring bread? Do you still not see or understand what I say to you? Are your hearts still hard? You have good eyes, yet you still don’t see, and you have good ears, yet you still don’t hear, neither do you remember.
Mark 8:17-18 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The truth shall set you free — the truth about who I Am, the truth about who you are and the ways of operation of My Kingdom. Mine is not a zero sum game Kingdom. The increase of My Kingdom knows no end. No lack exists in My Kingdom. Ways forward and increase and provision always exist. They are always available and at your disposal — if you can see them.
When I multiplied the bread to feed more than five thousand people, how many baskets full of leftovers did you gather afterward?” “Twelve,” they replied. “And when I multiplied food to feed over four thousand, how many large baskets full of leftovers did you gather afterwards?” “Seven,” they replied. “Then how is it that you still don’t get it?”
Mark 8:19-21 TPT
Ask for eyes to see. Ask for the keys to projects and works and ideas that will unlock great wealth and provision and favor in your life. I Am not holding them back. You just can’t see them yet. Ask for eyes to see and ears to hear, and ask for the favor of the Lord. It is My favor that unlocks doors of understanding and opportunities for you. It is My grace that enables you to walk through them and operate well there — to succeed and excel there. My resources are abundant, and they always multiply. So don’t fear lack. This is a time where My abundant favor and grace are on the scene in your life to clear the way and to unlock doors that will blow your hair back and take your breath away.
When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, begging him to touch him and heal him. So Jesus led him, as his sighted guide, outside the village. He placed his saliva on the man’s eyes and covered them with his hands. Then he asked him, “Now do you see anything?” “Yes,” he said. “My sight is coming back! I’m beginning to see people, but they look like trees—walking trees.” Jesus put his hands over the man’s eyes a second time and made him look up. The man opened his eyes wide and he could see everything perfectly. His eyesight was completely restored!
Mark 8:22-25 TPT
This is your financial future. It’s not built on works alone. It’s built guided by My grace through opportunities that only My favor could open for you. I have not left you wandering. I have set eternity and purpose in your heart. Hone in on that. Seek My face, and I will lead to you places you never thought you’d go.
How to Respond
- Bless the Lord, and seek His face.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You have not left me to fend for myself. Open my eyes and ears to better perceive Your Kingdom, Your ways and Your voice. Cause Your favor on my life to open doors that are entry points to great opportunities, and make Your grace a great enabler for me to move into those opportunities and to succeed there.
- Declare, Great and vast is his dominion. He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom to establish and uphold it by promoting justice and righteousness from this time forward and forevermore. The marvelous passion that the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, has for his people will ensure that it is finished!
Isaiah 9:7 TPT - Decree, The Lord’s kingdom is one of multiplication and expansion. No lack exists there. As I pursue the Lord’s face and heart, He is opening my eyes to see opportunities that I never could see before. He is unlocking ideas that I couldn’t fathom before. His grace is making a way, so I can move forward into places and works that I never have been able walk into before.
