Today’s Reading:
Psalm 5
Psalm 51
Psalm 52
The Lord gave me a series of five dreams last night that He connected for me. (Five is the number that represents God’s grace.) As I sought Him to understand the meaning of the dreams He said,
I’m challenging norms. I’m challenging the way you have dealt with the symptoms in your life. I Am exposing you to yourself. I Am shining a light on issues of the heart that are not functioning properly, that are not in full health. I expose to bring repentance and healing. I expose, not to embarrass, not to bring guilt, but to open the door for a change. If your own unresolved matters of heart and mind remain hidden to you, how can you change them? How can you seek My help? I Am revealing things that have been hidden to you or unnoticed by you — those that have not been dealt with in your heart and life.
I know that you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom.
Psalms 51:6 TPT
I desire purity in the innermost parts. Guard your heart above all else, for from it flow the issues of life. I desire purity of heart in you and for you, so all that flows from your life is good, so all that flows from you are rivers of living waters. I Am positioning you for an open heaven ministry of passion upon which rests a prophetic anointing. Before it starts, you will be celebrating in purity and marked by My glory.
Purify my conscience! Make this leper clean again! Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart. Satisfy me in your sweetness, and my song of joy will return. The places you have crushed within me will rejoice in your healing touch. Hide my sins from your face; erase all my guilt by your saving grace. Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.
Psalms 51:7-10 TPT
Your voice is one whose job is to speak on behalf of the people, the nation, but I have had you in a place of breaking and seclusion. I have provided My Word to you and for you. And My grace is abundant for you to have keen vision and an enviable vantage point.
This is the time to see and address that which has been hindering your voice, your mouth and that which has lied to you about the strength of your voice. The lie and the source of the lies must come out.
Lord God, unlock my heart, unlock my lips, and I will overcome with my joyous praise! For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you. The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet.
Psalms 51:15-17 TPT
I Am addressing all of these things, and I Am setting you up for great freedom on the road of travel I have set out for you. Cleansing is necessary. Purity must be celebrated. Your celebration must be marked by My glory, and people will see and recognize that you are the Lord’s and you operate in My abundant grace. This is a time of a great deep cleansing to remove all that will hinder you from moving forward on the road ahead. Don’t underestimate the power of the voices of those who come against you as you build. Don’t underestimate them. Stay on guard. Those who embrace sin openly and those who say they love the Lord — both are positioned to mock, distract, annoy and threaten you as you build. Remember who you are and whose you are. Great is My faithfulness.
Boasters collapse, unable to survive your scrutiny, for your hatred of evildoers is clear. You will make an end of all those who lie. How you hate their hypocrisy and despise all who love violence! But I know that you will welcome me into your house, for I am covered by your covenant of mercy and love. So I come to your sanctuary with deepest awe to bow in worship and adore you. Yahweh, lead me in the pathways of your pleasure just like you promised me you would, or else my enemies will conquer me. Smooth out your road in front of me, straight and level, so that I will know where to walk.
Psalms 5:5-8 TPT
How to Respond
- Submit your heart and life to the Lord for examination that brings exposure, so you have the opportunity to repent and heal.
- Pray, Holy Spirit You are welcome to come and bring Your exposure to my heart, so I can choose to repent and be cleansed and healed. I don’t want to live with hidden issues that hinder the flow of Your Spirit in and through my life. Come and help me to see what I have not seen, and help me to be cleansed and whole again. Restore to me a right understanding of my role, my ministry and the power and authority of my voice. Help me to use all of these in service to You.
- Declare, But I am like a flourishing olive tree, anointed in the house of God. I trust in the unending love of God; his passion toward me is forever and ever. —Psalms 52:8 TPT
- Decree, the Lord’s goodness leads me to repentance. He is bringing exposure to my heart, so I can address the issues that I did not even know were there. He is doing this, so I can repent — so I change my mind and mindset and perspective — and be cleansed and fully healed. This healing and cleansing is necessary, so I can freely celebrate the glory of God in complete purity and have success on the road ahead.
