Today’s Reading:
Psalm 139
2 Corinthians 3
2 Corinthians 4
John 8
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:16-17 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Let My Spirit flow in your life. Leave the blockages behind. Sanction them for removal, and bring out the tools to remove them. Partner with My Spirit to identify and remove the blockages, because I desire to flow freely. I desire to flow powerfully. I desire to flow in a way that touches and transforms every aspect of your life. Remove the stumbling blocks to belief, and seal up the places where vermin — invading thoughts and intruding lies have access.
We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 TPT
I want free and unrestrained access, because where I Am able to move freely, I release freedom into your life. Where there is a blockage, a stumbling block or something that stifles, you are held in captivity there. Your heart becomes a prisoner and your vision becomes limited. But where I reign, where I can flow freely, the Seven Spirits of Me, the Living God — there I release total freedom into your life, and nothing can hold you back. Where I have granted liberty, where you authorize liberty and forbid stifling, forbid padlocked places and seal up those points of intrusion that grant access to the unwanted invaders of filth and lies —I will reign. If you invite Me, if you set the conditions I have laid out, I will come in and reign, and there you will see the flag of freedom fly in your life. You will experience the freshness, the lightness, the expansiveness and the ending of restraint and stifling restrictions that have held you in and held you back. Establish the conditions that allow Me to flow, that allow My Seven Spirits to flow, and you shall walk and live and dance in a level of freedom you have never known.
Jesus said, “I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave can’t come and go at will. The Son, though, has an established position, the run of the house. So if the Son sets you free, you are free through and through.
John 8:34-35 MSG
It’s time for a resurrection party, because the movement of My Spirits in your life and through your life will resurrect every dead dream, every dead hope, dimmed vision and hope deferred. I Am the Resurrection and the Life. Give me unfettered access, and I will move in such a way, in all places, and I will bring death to life. I will birth something new in those places you had given over to death and decay. Watch, anticipate, permit and celebrate, because My Spirits that release freedom carry and release resurrection life. This is the time for freedom, and this is the time for fresh vision and new life. If you hold nothing back, I will hold nothing back.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord You have unfettered access to every part of my life. Come and show me where I have locked you out. Come and show me the parts of my life that have in some way been blocked off to You. Help me to open them, so You can release freedom and resurrection life in those places. Help me to seal off the entrance points that allow the vermin that carry filth and lies creep to in. I want Your Seven Spirits to reign and bring full freedom, resurrection life and fresh vision to me.
- Declare, Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).
2 Corinthians 3:17 AMPC - Declare, God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you.
Psalms 139:23-24 TPT - Decree, I hold nothing back. I am opening my life fully to the inspection of the Lord. As He identifies the places that I have locked Him out, the places that I have shut off, I will open them to Him. I will seal off every place that allows filth and lies to enter, and the Lord will reign and bring full freedom into every aspect of my life.
