Today’s Reading:
John 5:1-16
Proverbs 2
Proverbs 8
Psalm 119
James 1
“I was there, close to the Creator’s side as his master artist. Daily he was filled with delight in me as I playfully rejoiced before him. I laughed and played, so happy with what he had made, while finding my delight in the children of men.” “So listen, my sons and daughters, to everything I tell you, for nothing will bring you more joy than following my ways. Listen to my counsel, for my instruction will enlighten you. You’ll be wise not to ignore it.”
Proverbs 8:30-33 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Just as the angel of the Lord stirred the waters at the pool of Bethesda for healing, so am I stirring the waters of the spirit over your life right now. How was the man healed? By faith and obedient action. There are things that are stirring in the spirit realm for you to do. Perhaps you might want to invite others along, into the assignment. Do so by the leading of My Spirit. Be careful who you invite. Be careful who you even speak to about what it is I Am stirring in your heart. But know this, your obedience will bring transformation. Pursuing and following in faith the Word of the Lord over your life and the stirring of your spirit will lead to great transformation.
“You are my satisfaction, Lord, and all that I need, so I’m determined to do everything you say. With all my heart I seek your favor; pour out your grace on me as you promised!”
Psalms 119:57-58 TPT
Trust and obey, there’s no other way to have peace in your spirit. Trust and obey, that is the way. Great grace is coming for the humble, for the lowly, for those who do not care about making a name for themselves, for those who do not care what others think. Grace is coming to do great exploits that I have placed in your heart long, long ago. Some of these are surfacing as great desires now — as almost inexplicable desires now — Kingdom desires, not personal desires. Your heart has been imparted — through My stirring of the spirit over your life — with fresh vision for making Heaven crowded, for reaching out, for touching the hurting, the broken and the lost. To be an encouragement and a lifeline that reaches people when they may be at the end of their rope.
“True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.”
James (Jacob) 1:27 TPT
Do what it is I have been stirring in your heart, and watch the transformation it brings. Lives will be changed wholesale by your obedience. Don’t delay. Don’t tarry. Do what I’ve put in your heart to do.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You that You are stirring in the spirit realm over me, and You are imparting to me fresh Kingdom vision and instruction. Help me to move forward in obedience and to make the space in my life to do what it is You’re calling me to do.
- Declare, For the Lord has a hidden storehouse of wisdom made accessible to his godly ones. He becomes your personal bodyguard as you follow his ways, protecting and guarding you as you choose what is right. Then you will discover all that is just, proper, and fair, and be empowered to make the right decisions as you walk into your destiny.
Proverbs 2:7-9
https://www.bible.com/bible/1849/PRO.2.7-9.TPT - Decree, I will follow the leading and instruction of the Lord. He has given me a vision in my heart, and I will not delay to obey. I will delight in the new assignment and impart joy and life to those He puts in my path. I will do my part to make Heaven crowded.
